Yeah, you're right, it was 2.5 rounds in two hours - ugh. How hard is it to walk into a local gym and say you want four guys within 10 pounds of each other that want to make their pro debuts? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that two six-rounders (one featuring a guy who averages about two rounds per fight) are not going to fill two hours.
They tried to placate a restless crowd by giving away free MP3 players. But that only brought more boos when it became clear that all the 'random' seats drawn were in the $200 section. It's nice to know that everyone who runs boxing isn't a crook, some are just morons.
It was however pretty good match making, but I felt bad for Pemberton - I hate to see a guy like him go out so ingloriously.
