Quote of Note
Cotto Jab Was Fab
“This was the second toughest fight for Mayweather in my opinion; his toughest fight was the De La Hoya fight because Oscar worked behind his jab for a good portion of the fight. Like De La Hoya, Cotto had success when he jabbed! There aren't many options left for Floyd, I just hope Manny doesn't get beat by Bradley, but I smell a POSSIBLE upset. EMPHASIS on the word POSSIBLE.” —Shoulder Roll Defense had Mayweather up same as Lederman card, semi-smells Pacman upset
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
