Quote of Note
“Don't Like the Judges, Don't Leave It In Their Hands”
“Bernard did go down twice albeit the first time might have been called differently. I believe that he smiled because (a) he knew he wasn't hurt and wanted that to be clear (b) because he did go down (c) he did not want a 'complaining fest' like his ridiculous fight with Roy Jones Jr. Knowing he was behind…he decided to to what champions do. He kicked Pascal's behind. He won in my book. We all know it.
Pascal knows it. That is what counts as far as I'm concerned. But…If you don't like the judges, don't leave it in their hands. That is something Bernard should know by now.”

Another stellar year from our Forum crew, the best in this known universe. Results for Reader of the Year are still being tabulated. In a moment of weakness, I hired CJ Ross to help with the computation and, well, it didn’t go well. Happy New Year to the best and brightest amateur scribes! –Editor Mike
“Boxing is full of optical illusions. And I give Money May MAD props for doing a mix of Houdini and Marlin The Magician. Wow! Money May fought a club-fighting-like humbug in “The Cali Ghost.” And a hyped-up B fighter in Canelo. The promotions were grand to get eyeballs and easy impressionable minds behind those PPV screens. Because the live gates didn’t sell out.” –Radam isn’t sold on this being the year of Money May
“It must be said that even a wounded, war torn Martinez is still a more dangerous threat than Canelo for Cotto. The powers that be must be expecting a phenomenal turnout.” —Brown Sugar says that Martinez is a tougher out for Cotto than Canelo
