So far so good... Shane won... MAB lost (to a lesser known G fighter) Oscar lost... Now if Hopkins gets spanked by Winkster... Things are looking up around this piece! :bears:
Though that will run out the moment Oscar retires. unless of course, they can continue to convince their fighters to take short money for the sake of their (Gs) turning a profit.
If THE GREAT Hopkins were to lose to the annoying spoiler by the name of Winky Wright...that would be the most hurtful result of any fight this millenium. I want Wright KNOCKED OUT!!!!!:flip:
Wright didn't look too hot to me against Ike. Throw in the weight gain and he may not be as fast/slick as he was at 154-60. Hopkins is one fighter I hesitate to bet against.
I've never said I didn't hate Floyd. I do. I'm just saying, for a guy who admires the skills of Floyd to bash winky like that tells me they are just a Floyd groupie and not a fan of skill at all.

"groupie" because I want Winky Wright to lose? That's ridiculous! You've NEVER EVER wanted a skillful fighter to lose? Is that what you're telling me?
What I don´t like is Oscar seems to be a short-term promoter. He has seemingly shown zero interest to build up his own prospects, except maybe Escobedo. All he does is sign aging stars and put on their fights. Will this be the story of Golden Boy, never invest money in long-term projects, just go for the quick money. What will happen, when they are all retired (Oscar, Bernard, Winky, MAB, JMM, Mosley) or are we forced to watch them till they are 50?
also (albeit lesser known) their prospect de jour Antonio Escalante got KTFO by Pastrana their light welterweight pretender Lazcano got beat by Viv Ouma got beat and is unhappy Montiel has to go to the Philipines to defend his title and is unhappy Ponce got exposed like the caveman he is they never got Chico Barrera is old and shopworn Marquez is past prime and cannot make the best matchup out their for him because of his promoter's beef with his ex promoter.
