"Calzaghe not only schooled Lacy, but he flunked and expelled him"
de la hoya mayorga, prefight:
lampley: "will the seething undercurrent of the buildup now be reflected in what we see in the ring?"
merchant: "probably. sure. because mayorga is a rude, crude dude in the ring as well as outside. in a sense, what we have here is class warfare with boxing gloves....mayorga looks at him as a hated slumlord, and oscar is coming to collect the rent"
"Chris Byrd has two punches - pitty and pat."
"All of Mayweather's fights are the same and they're not exactly spectacles, not edge of your seat stuff. They carried him into to the Baldomir fight dressed like Russell Crowe, a warrior, but he ended up fighting more like Sheryl Crowe. He has Vernon Forrest: "First of all, I would like to thank God for my victory..."
Larry (interrupting): "You ought to thank the judges."great skill but he doesn't have you on the edge of your seat."
After Ibeabuchi KO'ed Byrd: Shame on Chris Byrd. He never stopped *****ing, instead of defending himself and fighting.
