Scully, you're Carlos Baldomir's trainer...

[Mr. Ryan]

Your brother looks kind of like me.

Anyway, I bet I could make him respect me.
I'd make him scared of me.

I dunno, you're kind of skinny and live in Florida, Florida characters tend to be of the Laguna Beach and other MTV chatter crowd. Sean is a completely different person to me also. This is a kid who has witnessed graphic murders, friends dying of heroin overdoses, all of the kind of stuff the average person shouldn't have to see. I stayed in my own world of books and petty mischief to avoid the bull**** going on around me. He was drawn to it as a moth to a candle.

I bet if you called him Seany, he'd beat the **** out of you and that'd be the end of the sensational asian.

Damn.
It's official.
John is ignoring me.
That's messed up.

Actually, that's my nickname for him. It's been that way for as long as I can recall. I've sparred with him once, when I was 16 and he was 14. He didn't know how to box yet and we were training at different gyms. At that point, I weighed 130 and he weighed 170. It didn't matter, I boxed his ears off and swelled his face to a certain red that was just shy of crimson. In a street fight, yeah he'd **** me up.

I think the best bet would be to have Baldomir analyze tapes of the first Castillo-Mayweather fight and observe the things Castillo did to cause Mayweather trouble. He needs to apply a lot of pressure obviously, and yes he will get countered. He needs to bring the fight to Mayweather and make him work like he's never worked before. He's bigger and stronger in the clinches so he'll have the advantage there. He should clinch and wrestle enough to sap Mayweather's strength, but to do it excessively could bring on a warning or point deduction from the ref.

Forward action, backing Mayweather up at all time while throwing heavy shots to the ribs and stomach. He isn't going to KO Mayweather with one shot but he can beat the **** out of his body and take some of the spring out of his legs to make him easier to hit later in the fight.

It's gonna be an uphill battle for Baldomir, and he needs to be in the best possible shape of his life. He also needs to be willing to fight through pain and fatigue and take two punches to land one, just to wear Mayweather out. He needs to fight Mayweather as if men with guns are waiting to drag him out of the arena and put a bullet through his brain should he lose.

If he upsets Mayweather, he will make boxing history and be well on his way to a HOF career. This is his chance at immortality. If he loses, he will fade into obscurity as just another pretty damn good fighter.

I think he can do it (decision Mayweather that is, and a very close one), but it will require a suprehuman effort in the gym and in the ring. He'll have to bleed for it and, most important of all, he'll have to want it more than Mayweather does.

right on. i'll add that mayweather could help baldimor by turning the judges against himself by running,taunting and acting like a smart ass thug in the ring.

steady pressure and dirty tactics are the keys for baldy. imo floydboy is going to have a hard time trying to hurt baldy.
