I am from Connecticut. I do NOT like the fight at all... it means NOTIHNG TO the division it is fought in and it runs the real risk of making a mockery of the sport..if Pac wins it makes Oscar look VERY foolish (and it means nothing because Pac could never dare mess with the champ in that class, Antonio Margarito)...and if Oscar wins...so what?????.? You know?

i see that. well this guys are retiring that is why they are milking it anyway they can. what i am looking forward to is for pac to fight hatton, mayweather although he might lose of course but hey atleast he fought the best.

You might be a fighter if you know that... when there is a fight looming it is a thing where birthdays, holidays, and "special occasions" take a backseat to your preparation. There are many close to you who may not understand it, do not appreciate it, and have no trouble not letting you forget it, but it almost always comes down to you making the sacrifice in the hopes that it pays off ten fold down the road on fight night. Bypassing (if you are even there) all those holiday treats and birthday cake has a way of making a boxer stronger mentally if not physically. For most fighters who do have the luxury to do so, being away from home in a training environment specifically geared towards getting you ready for a particular fight adds even more mental strength to your game.

FLASHBACK: I remember New Years Eve 1991 and I was in Pensacola, Florida sparring with Roy Jones for his first big fight, the one on Pay-Per-View with former welterweight champion Jorge Vaca at Madison Square Garden. I know some of the fighters present in camp at that time certainly made their way down to Seville Quarter or some other hot spot in town to ring in the new year but for me, at the stroke of midnight when 1991 turned into 1992, I was out in Stanley Levin's driveway on Bayou Boulevard with Sherrod, Kenyatta, Jamal, and the rest of my squad playing a game of five-on-five basketball.

Less than forty-eight hours later I was back in the ring with Roy Jones at the Square Ring Gym.

I was watching your Michael Nunn scrap last week. After the first round, it went very different. What were you experiencing in there?

[alt-mellow]

Whether it is hype or not... when u are in that ring u often do NOT feel like touching gloves..I always used to look away and just flick my arm out in the direction of my opponent....it was IRRITATING more than anything... there was no genuine sportsmanship from me in those moments and it was obvious..and it should be... I mean, we are about to -F-I-G-H-T... I dont want to touch gloves. Period

got you!!.. like i say is just my opinion... we know theres no genuine sportmanship there.. but thats not all the cases..

u didnt want 2.. but u had 2... and as you say..u got irritating more than anything and for some reason.. FANS like that.. we can go like.. OHHHhh ****.. hes really mad! just hype things up... but like i say.. is just my opinion... yours & mine are both right. im just glad.. that they do

It's ALL in my book LOL But, in a nutshell, I felt very good the whole way through, never got hurt, felt I definitely landed the better, stonger shots and, at the end of the day, it was probably my best performance overall.

You might be a boxer if... "you have ever soaked your face in salt water (brine) because you heard from old timers that it toughens your skin up."

[Silencers]

I heard old times used to use orange peels, I think Dempsey used to sc**** orange peels on his skin to make it tougher.
