    “Fighting Words” – Dropping the (Crystal) Ball on 2009

    by David P. Greisman - Carnac was a hack.

    Miss Cleo? A zero.

    Forget those seers. I’ll make you a believer.

    Like Mark McGwire, I’m not here to talk about the past. There’s no more need to ponder 2008 now that 2009 is under way. Why reminisce when one can predict?

    The ball has dropped on the new year. Let us peer into the crystal ball for a preview of what’s to come:

    January

    Antonio Margarito will do what no one has done before, stopping Shane Mosley and doing so in front of a packed crowd at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Mosley will consider retirement at first, but instead will sign to fight Oscar De La Hoya in a “Loser Leaves Town” match. Margarito will take the momentum from his victory into a rematch with Miguel Cotto.

    In other news concerning Top Rank, Bob Arum will remember that he promotes welterweight titlist Joshua Clottey. Five minutes later, Arum will forget all about Clottey and instead turn his attention toward other fighters in his stable.

    Golden Boy Promotions, meanwhile, will ponder what to do about its aging stars. In a momentary lapse of judgment, chief executive Richard Schaefer will make bids for C.C. Sabathia, A.J. Burnett, Mark Teixeira and Manny Ramirez. [details]
