Quote of Note
Welcome Back, Lurker Fe'Roz
“As for Berto/Ortiz, I think Showtime has a winner. For me, neither guy has ever proven to be truly elite but stylistically these two are made for each other. Berto is just flat out limited by his horrible footwork and poor balance but he can bang. And he will have to …. because the Victor “The Loose Cannon” Ortiz can bring it, especially in the first half of any given fight. This one might be a repeat but I think Berto can redeem himself as long as Victor hasn't already become a Middleweight by the time they meet the night of the fight. Look for Foreman Lyle with Andre Berto rising first. From the pile.” –TSS reader Fe'Roz emerges from the lurker shadows, and as always, offers concise, wise words
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
