PrintScott Christ of Bad Left Hook thinks there's more reason to be optimistic about this mini-series after some recent lackluster editions:
I'm looking for Floyd Sr. to spice this series up after the rather dull back-to-back 24/7s that were Calzaghe-Jones (a complete bore, really) and Oscar-Manny (Oscar's fakeness rang out like a church bell all over the show). Hatton is entertaining, Floyd is entertaining, Manny is entertaining, and Freddie's entertaining. The main four are all good. They're no Roger, but who is?
Part two after the jump.

Man I cant wait for WAMMA to get their 24/7 style show going!!!
im not impressed with your performance
There's never a lackluster edition of 24/7.
My favorite television show. Period. Whatever production company does these, UFC should hire them, because that shit they did with GSP and BJ in no way compared.
Great drama, great storylines, great music, great production value.
Best thing on television, bar none, and putting Floyd Sr. and Roach in the same one is a seizure-inducing level of awesomeness.
First episode did not disappoint. Adding in Moorer and his inflated and unjustified ego is just going to up the hilarity quotient.

24/7 is waaay better t han primetime. maybe it’s a budget thing but …it feels so much more epic.
Whoever does NFL films

i realized as soon as i said it
how about the 08 browns? not bad to the point of fun, just bad
im not impressed with your performance
Lets say Hatton wins this fight (which I think is very pluasable). Floyd Jr. may come out of retirement soon maybee. Hatton vs. Floyd Jr. would be such an epic storyline. especially since Hatton is being trained by his opponents father (what a twist of fate).
I dunno, the first fight wasn’t particularly close as I recall.

Yeah it wasn’t close, at all. I ordered it just because I wanted to see PBF lose. =/ lol

That’s actually not at all plausible.
Did you want me to read the rest of your post anyway?

So do you have any boxer on the planet that could beat Floyd?

Maybe Manny Pacquiao. Or Hatton with a gun.

If hatton had,had a btter trainer who had a clue what to do if plan A didnt work then it might have been some bit competitive for more than 4 rounds
Yeah, but probably not. Floyd Sr. himself said Hatton knew zero defense before the Malignaggi fight, and if you’ve seen him, that’s not hard to believe.
The guy’s a slugger, and he’s gotten this far on power and heart. That’s fine. Good on him. Make your money. But he’s not beating Money and he’s not beating Pac. Ever. Not on his best day.

Manny Pacquiao… any maybe some other fighters if they were in their primes like Mosley or Casamayor.
Williams could test him but Floyd would have no reason to come back and fight such a fighter like him.
"Boxing is dirty," said Casamayor. " The day I’m not ready to be a dirty fighter is the day I don’t fight anymore because it will mean that I have no heart for it anymore."
pride!
we all know Floyd fights for pride, right? a warriors heart!
im not impressed with your performance
Nope… he fights for the IRS…lol.
Stupid idiot throws away money like it is candy…

Rec’d.

Hatton has the man who trained MAyweather to be the man he is today. I would be fucking scared if I had to fight someone and in th corner of that guy was my father who knew ALLL of the the tricks in my book. You don’t think that would give Hatton some kind of edge? Who knows who is going to win Pac vs. Hatton, its a close fight now that Hatton has Floyd Sr. on his side.
Wow, that was pretty cool. As much as I loved the primetime series for GSP/Penn, it’s not nearly as good as this. Hopefully they improve the story-telling and eloquence for the next primetime.

AWESOME SHOW
24/7 makes UFC Primetime look like junior varsity.
That was the best-produced 30 minutes I’ve ever watched.
