Quote of Note
Fight or Flight, Done Right
“Marquez burns with fierce pride that seems to keep him afloat when he gets hurt…Marquez becomes very lucent when hurt, ultra aware of his opponent and his surroundings just when he looks like he's almost ready to go. The Mexican Warrior feeds off his adrenaline better than any athlete I've witnessed in this generation..and is probably one of the most dangerous fighters when hurt since Larry Holmes.” —Brown Sugar notes that Marquez' fight or flight instinct makes him ultra-dangerous when he's “in trouble”
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
