The Baby Bull Goes Back to School

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Dave Sholler - It happens every year. Thousands of college graduates flood the job market, hungry and ready to make a buck. Although their flashy degrees cost nearly six figures, most workplace rookies are welcomed with woeful starting salaries. If low pay isn’t enough of a horse pill to swallow, a good percentage of these rooks must deal with older, more traveled co-workers who see their arrival as unneeded competition in an already crowded marketplace. Underpaid and hardly appreciated, many workplace babies come to wonder if a fifth or sixth year of college could have been more rewarding. [details]

In the months to come, Juan Diaz will graduate from college. Even with a diploma in hand, Diaz proved last Saturday that in the future he’ll need more than a college degree to survive in boxing.

This is bull**** and offensive. Diaz has done more then survive in boxing he's made it to were every boxer wants to be a World Champion. Hall of Fame is the next objection. But fight on or not, Diaz has survived. Losing is also part of the sport the comes with the sport -few retire undefeated.

Obviously he does have more then enough to survive in boxing, I think the writer just had his own issues with seein Juan gettin praised for educational accolades and Boxing accolades.


I mean just because someone gives another person an actual job that requires a pencil and paper, doesn't mean the guys gonna write facts let alone somthing that should be takin seriously.

lol Speakin of that, kind of off topic, but did anyone catch the finale of "The Wire?" I'ma miss that show.

I don't know if you can say he has achieved greatness yet but he certainly earned a bit of memorable fame. The next step is how he comes back from this fight. The next one to three fights will define his career.

[SnoopySmurf]

He'll be making more money as a lawyer than most average boxers. And coz he's saving a lot of the money he made from prize fights, he's better than half the US population already. And that's BEFORE he graduates.

I gotta tip my hat off to Juan Diaz. He's always be a champ.

I thought Sam's technique has gotten progressively worse after the second Toney fight. I didn't see anything resembling technique Saturday night. I think Wladimir wins a second fight the same way minus a knockdown or two.

Yeah that last episode was great. Good ending to a good show. You know it couldn't have ended perfect and I like the way at the end it showed that it's basically a cycle. Even though people may leave the game on the streets or in the professional world there always someone there to take their place.

Nonsense. He still makes a few mistakes, but all in all is massively improved. His movement is this fight was excellent. He made a mistake after he hurt Oleg the first time but corrected it the second time. I don't think Peter got hurt so much as that he was tired. Wladimir still well beat him again, but I think he will have to be more aggressive to do it this time, which will put him at risk.

Agreed, the writer is making it seem like he cant make it in the boxing game or something, but being a college student and pro boxer at the same time takes alot of discipline and focus and I give diaz credit on that not many could pull it off. He's shown he has what it takes to be in there and do much more.
