Up In the Air on Haye-Fury
“I can't wait for this fight! The press conferences will be more entertaining than the rest of the heavies actually fighting. I want to say Haye, because he put on a clinic vs the hairy Russian monster. On the other hand the Traveller, Fury, can use back alley tactics and take Haye out. I can't decide and will be looking forward to it because it will be a real fight. Haye might actually try and blast him out right off the bat. Either way it will be the most exciting buildup in all of heavyweight boxing. Sorry Klits.” –Deepwater is up in the air on Haye-Fury
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
