Cortez Should Pull A Padilla
Every fighter fights and take any advantage that is given to him. Floyd ain't a dang referee, or doing refereeing. Money May was not at fault, nor was Vicious Victor. They are like fighting cocks who must be regulated. Any miss stepping is because of a darn faulty referee. Cortez oughta take responsibility for his failure. “Protect yourself at all times” is just a way that the powers that be are punking out. Cortez shoulda stayed between the combatants and never turned to eyeball the timekeeper. I think Joe is gettin' long in da tooth and need to retire just like my Uncle Carlos Padilla did when he started fudging up.—Radam lays the blame on Cortez, in the Forum on 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
