Quote of Note
Sweet Stop
“Perfect stoppage of Alvarado against Rios. Alvarado was rigid and unresponsive, no longer looking at or reacting to Rios, after several direct head-snapping shots when Russell (NOT my favorite ref!) jumped in. People wanted more brain damage for their entertainment $$? Bite me.” —Mortcola suggests cannibalism to those thinking ref Pat Russell pulled the plug on Mike Alvarado prematurely on Oct. 13
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
