Friday The 13th, Part 7: The Husk Known As Margarito
I liked the video when Woodsy says he looked deeply into Margarito's impenetrable eyes and still couldn't decide if he was guilty or innocent of wearing tampered gloves. That's because there's nothing in there…. The spirit that inhabits the husk known as Margarito is just a pure sadist with an overzealous discipline to train. Like Jason Vorhees he'll stalk Cotto thru the abyss of hell non-stop so he can administer a more frightful beating than the last. —Brownsugar in the Forum, 9/27
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
