Quote of Note
Who Do Ya Like, Mormeck or Fudd?
“This fight reminded me of an old Looney Tunes Cartoon Featuring Elmer Fudd shooting fish in a barrell and hunting ducks with a bazooka. How easy is it to look impressive while hitting a human punch-bag who won't hit back? This was another discraceful matchup that actually sold out a 50,000 Arena in Europe where the fans drink more Kbrothers flavored koolaid than anywhere else in the world. If this fight happened anywhere else in the world,.. the audience would have torched the arena.”–Brown Sugar no fan of Mormeck either
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
