Quote of Note
“We Feel Like We Lost A Friend”
“I will always remember how humble, soft spoken and enjoyable Emanuel was to listen to commentate. Whatever he said I always believed while watching a fight, he was just that knowledgeable. I never doubted him. I will never forget how he always had a smile on his face as they recapped the previous night's fights. Boxing is unlike other sports, it is so powerful, it's fans are so passionate, we feel like we lost a friend without ever meeting guys like Emanuel when they are in front of us for so long. I'm 34 and I don't remember a time when Emanuel was not around.” –Amayseng was hit hard by the death of the Godfather of Kronk
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
