No Jive, Fe'Roz Amped For 5
“In my opinion, if Manny wants it, he still has it. Sure, I like everybody else I'm going to be looking for certain signs to see his demeanor, his tenacity, and his reactions once the real fighting begins. Radam is right in regards to who was getting hurt and how the fight was unfolding, Pacquiao was doing serious damage to Marquez. His nose was broken. His breathing was labored. Very labored and noticeably so. Look no further than the cover of Ring Magazine at the face of the triumphant Marquez with thick blood streaming from his nostrils to see what Manny saw and was aiming for when he too aggressively went in to close. Marquez won fight four. Flight five looms in the future. Having fought over 40 rounds together, I had no idea what was going to happen in the last fight, and I have no idea what might happen in the next. I'm looking forward to their meeting again.” —TSS reader all-star Fe'Roz wants Pacquiao-Marquez 5
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
