Quote of Note
Lara Got Madoff-ed
“To say Lara got robbed is an understatement. Paul Williams should retire before he gets hurt! I can't believe that he refuses to work on any of his defensive flaws. Also, what difference does it make if you are 6'2, but don't know how to use your height or reach properly? Williams is one of the most flawed mainstream prize fighters that I have ever seen.”–TSS reader “Shoulder Roll Defense” on July 10, 2011
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
