Quote of Note
“No BS Scorecards Involved”
“New Evil Vic is more athlete than fighter. It seems to me that Victor Ortiz has a low tolerance for pain. He says the jaw got broken early in the final round and he didnt even want to try to continue? Look at Lopez. His eye was closing and there is no way he would have quit. Victor is comfortable in life and he knows whatever happens he can tune up and rebuild. A fighter like Lopez? This is it. No tomorrow. He had to win and he did. It was a great back and forth fight. I'm glad the best man won. No BS scorecards involved.” –Our man The Roast was happy that boxing's black eye from “The Decision” has faded some
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
