Quote of Note
No Mas No Big Deal
“I thought Chad would have quit after round 7 or 8 because things weren't going his way. But his 10th round resignation is acceptable. He'd certainly taken enough of a beating to call it quits….anything more would have been false bravado and he would have been sacrificing his future in the sport (which has already been severely compromised). Chad should have cherry picked a journeyman to test his ability at 168 pounds, or at least made the weight and tested himself in the privacy of his training camp before announcing the fight. But honestly.. I think the weight was only a partial factor, the biggest factor was the skill of Ward.” —Brown Sugar says Dawson no mas totally within the bounds of reason
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
