Video’s live, everyone’s standing around. Bob has a nice sweater and some khakis and is on the phone.

I think only Lupe Contreras has gone with a full suit today.
Scott Christ - February 3, 2012
OMG
Who is that huge dude? He is like 3 Bob Arums
Waldo Rastel - February 3, 2012
I think that’s Akebono
Scott Christ - February 3, 2012
Really? What the hell is he doing there? To look funny when he’s next to Vasquez?
Waldo Rastel - February 3, 2012
No, not really. Akebono is actually slimmer than that now.
Scott Christ - February 3, 2012
Dude in sport jacket/jeans straight CHILLIN up against the wall until Bob walks in like the HS principal. Then he has to look busier.
Scott Christ - February 3, 2012
Well, Lupe spoke, so we’re closer to getting some fighters on the stage in their underpants.
Scott Christ - February 3, 2012
Does anyone know how to say Nonito's last name?
I’ve seriously asked one of my filipino friends and she has no idea.
Waldo Rastel - February 3, 2012
Don-air or Don-eye-rei ?
Waldo Rastel - February 3, 2012
its don eye rei, for sure. I live right next to daly city here in the bay area
dodgers_suck - February 3, 2012
will the fight be on on tv anywhere?
dodgers_suck - February 3, 2012
Is this a joke or did you not read the article where it said the fight will be on HBO tomorrow night?
Waldo Rastel - February 3, 2012
sorry
dodgers_suck - February 3, 2012
No worries
Waldo Rastel - February 3, 2012

Scott Christ - February 3, 2012
Donaire 121.6
Lupe says his name right!
Scott Christ - February 3, 2012
is there a reason why people keep pronouncing his name wrong? I know in other sports, some athletes get upset and tell the commentators how to say their names correctly
dodgers_suck - February 3, 2012
Because it just happened that way and stuck, and at a certain point there’s no changing it, I guess.
Scott Christ - February 3, 2012
Ever since 24/7, Carl Moretti just can’t keep himself away from the cameras. What a glory hog he’s become.
Scott Christ - February 3, 2012
Chavez and Rubio up next, then the undercard guys after.
Scott Christ - February 3, 2012
This has been rather speedy and on-time so far
Waldo Rastel - February 3, 2012
Bart Barry says Chavez is actually not there yet. “People beginning to grumble and wonder.”
Scott Christ - February 3, 2012
Nevermind
Waldo Rastel - February 3, 2012
Our own James Foley observes, “Julio Chavez will indeed take on his toughest opponent. It’s called a scale.”
Scott Christ - February 3, 2012
Gabriel Montoya is posting some weird things on Twitter…
Welcome to my waistline?
Waldo Rastel - February 3, 2012
More from Bart Barry: “Lester Bedford just went for the black cape (to cover a naked fighter), and it doesn’t look like Rubio needs it. No Chavez still.”
Scott Christ - February 3, 2012
Here’s his Twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/bartbarry
