Quote of Note
This Ain't Dancing With Stars..And Mormeck Is DEF No Star
“i understand clinching as part of the game. i am a huge Bernard Hopkins fan in all…But when Wlad's opponent is so out matched it is not even funny he should not have to resort to excessive clinching and holding….I can see Ali clinching due to Frazier landing those thudding rib crushing left hooks inside..But for Wlad to hold a near 40 past prime, old slow cruiser weight is shameful and a bit embarrassing…He should not have to resort to such tactics…” —Amayseng gets clinching..to a point
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
