Quote of Note
In Defense Of Dirrell
“People must realize that even though it wasn't a big looking punch, Abraham still was able to turn his leg and back into it and it looked to catch part of Dirrell's temple. Andre Dirrell had absolutely no reason to act it out. He was winning on all cards, and at the very least referee Cole would have taken a point from AA for the blow if Dirrell had emerged unshaken. Who the hell would want to be remembered by the image of twitching unconscious on the ground in a fight they had looked beautiful in front of their home crowd?”
–TSS reader “Frank Z” is with Editor Mike…accusing Dirrell of faking is ignorant at best, vile at worst
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
