@RRODisHere Again, I’m biased because I’ve been a fan of Punk’s since ROH. While he has had some good matches in the WWE, he still hasn’t been able to show off his full game because of the WWE style and television restrictions. Perhaps I’m thinking too much about ROH Punk instead of focusing on WWE Punk.

Batista and Rey…yeah. I don’t like watching Batista. I think he’s one of the worst main eventers of the last decade. I understand why he’s popular, but his skills are limited and he has asthma — this is not a good combination. On the other hand, his book — Batista Unleashed — is one of the most unintentionally funny things I’ve ever read in my life. THQ gave me a copy and it’s the gift that keeps on giving.

@Raymond Padilla

One more thing, did you see how bad it looked on Smackdown when Mysterio pinned Batista? It didn’t look right and it was not believable. That’s how it would be if they let CM Punk beat Taker.

@Raymond Padilla

CM Punk is the one who should have never gotten past the Intercontinental Championship level. C’mon, how it CM Punk vs. The Undertaker suppose to be a match? Taker should pin him in 45 seconds.

@rpad
I totally agree that a point or two point decision wouldve been better. Froch annoyed me even mire when he bashed the one judge that had dirrell winning the fight by one point. This fight has me boycotting the rest of this tournament. I’m just going to focus on pacman v cotto.
Did you hear that Freddie was trying to put a stipulation that if cotto low blows once he is disqualified.

@Tokz_21 If Taylor is unable to continue, Allen Green is the first “alternate”. Unfortunately for him, he would inherit Taylor’s loss in the tournament.

Judges are — for better and worse — biased towards aggression. The ABC rules classifies one of the scoring criteria as “effective aggressiveness”, but judges often forget the effective part. I wouldn’t complain about the fight being scored by one point for either fighter — maybe two.

@ rpad
yeah when I saw Taylor go down. My first thought was he’s done. He should retire after this fight. How do you think they would continue this tourney if he does bow out? The first stage is scheduled for 3 fights for each fighter.
I’ll have to see it again but I feel that dirrell intiated the action controlled the pace of the fight and took froch out of his game plan. If I was a judge that’s what I would be looking for to give the
fighters the round. I think 3 pts was too big of a margin.

@Tokz_21 Actually, I can totally believe that from Taylor. He’s done it before. Reports are that he’s being treated for a concussion and might have to bow out of the tournament.

I disagree with Dirrell being robbed. I thought it could have gone either way and the scores were close. Keep in mind that I loathe Froch, but I think he did just enough to edge it out. Ugly fight though.

@rpad
I can’t believe taylor couldn’t survive 12 seconds more, he’s done. Dirrell was robbed! The Matrix deserved the win!
Go Yankees!

@ Smartguy

I’m gonna pass on MW2. I wasn’t really a huge fan of ant COD really, and I fear the single player will be short (barring difficulty). I’m not so much in to graphics being that I can still have alot of fun with Genesis games.

@ Sandrock

If you hate iTunes, you probably won’t think highly of the Zune Marketplace either. I understand the whole “iPods are trendy” thing but if that’s the only complaint people have… I’m still baffled. It’s to the point where people say Apple is trendy!?!

Dude, look at the sales numbers between Mac’s and Windows based PC’s and tell me which seems more trendy. I think the debate comes from the PC side because Mac owners can be a little snide and nobody wants to hear they made a bad purchase. So the Windows lovers retaliate by name calling and lack of knowledge of what Macs are capable of.
