:boxing: ESPN is much better now that Max has left...his know it all attitude was grating ,now that his I Max show has been cancelled it's good riddance...watch for ESPNs first PPV show on April 23..its a sizzler and will make the HBO and Showtime boys to take notice..not serve us crap like Barrera vs Fana and put this garbage on PPV...is it just me or is HBO taking their fans for granted and serving us slop lately
:boxing: it's as simple as this...any fighter will tell u the hardest punch he receives is the one he didn't see..Kid Cotto is still looking for that punch..it was aperfect,if lucky,counter shot and Cotto still came up BIG
:boxing: Cotto was only a round away from tearing Corleys ribs out anyway...give the kid props ...he did what he was advertised to do,he knocked him out and gave everyone in PR a mild heart attack at the same time...thats entertainment
Since when does someone named David Attah deserve to be in newsprint?With all due respect to Davey boy,it must be a very slow day in sports for him to make headlines.Murad certainly is on a roll.He was recently dumped by the Pac Man as his promoter and now Attah is complaining!Murad is certainly on a roll and I dont mean his stomach and belt size
Will the REAL TYSON TRAINER please stand up
let's see now,since Freddie Roach, there was Jeff Fenech,Roberto Duran, Buddy MMcGirt and now it's back to the once disgusted with Tyson,Jeff Fenech.MIKE WILL ALWAYS HAVE TRAINERS LINING UP FOR HIM AS LONG AS mIKE CAN TURN A BUCK AND mIKE GIVES THE ORDERS.Mike can only be trained by a lion tamer and since seigfied and Roy are not available,I GUESS DRINKING BUDDIES QUALIFY1Let MIKE BE mike,the side show event that he is and hope that someday he finds peace.
:cool: Cotto went to school tonite and gets a passing grade...Corley fails miserably...this is the problem when u win a title at such a young age...the expectations are too great...Cotto will be a much better fighter next time out and is still the man to beat at 140
No Hockey...No Problem
I am Canadian and I as a HUGE hockey fan am very glad there is no hockey this season.I am sick of the players belly aching and the bbillionaire owners crying the blues!It is a wonderful opportunity for boxing promoters like King and Oscar to use these arenas and expose a great sport like boxing to a whole new sports fan base.Besides,hockey players cant really fight,boxers can!
:) Cotto performed as advertised..he's the first guy to ko Corley and gave us and the entire country a mild heart attack at the same time...thats entertainment at its best...Cotto is still the man
Spadafora is one lucky dude!Imagine shooting your girl in the gut because she flattened your car tires!Only in America !I hope they keep him in the slammer for the five years but I wouldnt be surprised to see him back at it and on the streets in 6 months,wreaking havoc on the poor city of pittsburgh
Hey HBO give us a break!Youre charging what for this PPV event?Since when does one individual named Fana deserve to be headlining with Barrera?THE ENTIRE CARD IS INCREDIBLY ORDINARY,i MEAN HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GOING to use Jukko as a punching bag?Please give boxing fans something to get exited about,not this mess...especially presented as a PPV event!Heaven help us and our wallets1
:boxing: hey riz righton!as far as COTTO being exposed as a fraud according to some that is far from the truth..this kid is the goods..give him some time and experience and look out
:luvbed: lets cut the kid some slack and show a little luv...he did what he was supposed to do and that was to ko his ass...its not his fault he won the title at a very young age and is learning on the job...who else has ko'd Corley
I too havent seen this Skelton,but judging from his opponents he sure wouldnt put the fear of god into the top yank heavies.He's 38 years old and he sure isnt a hopkinks as ffar as experience goes.I think he'll turn out to be just another typical British heavy ..heavy on hype but no substance.
I Watched Eastmans performance and it reminded me of his fight with Joppy years before.He has not improved as he stated and by any stretch he has not gained competeive experience since the Joppy fight.That is the major problem with British boxers,there are few world class fighters to compete against over there.They just dont get it...there are no shortcuts when it comes to world class opposition and experience.
I just hope I can stay awake long enough to see James putting Ruiz's lights out once and for all!While he's at it he might just as well knock out Norman Stone at the same time...I'M FALLING ASLEEP JUST THINKING ABOUT rUIZ...UGH
John Ruiz will put me to sleep faster than a case of 24 beers!He is a disgrace to the heavyweight champions of the past or the future for that matter.One can only hope that a smaller Toney can bang Ruizs body enough to make him fall into a hole and never return!As for his manager,Stoney,he's nuttier than a fruitcake and one of the most belligerant individuals ever to grace a boxers corner.It'sot entertainment which he gives,it's an embarrasment!Good riddance to both of these nutbars!
