In case anybody gives a shit. New York-September 24, 2007-Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing today announced a spectacular fight card coming Thursday, October 18th to The Grand Ballroom at The Manhattan Center, NYC. The main event features Vinny Maddalone 27-4, (19KO's) returning to the ring after losing a bloody battle against legendary former Heavyweight Champion Evander “The Real Deal†Holyfield in Corpus Christi, Texas on March 13, 2007. http://www.fightbeat.com/news_details.php?NW=20380
I like the dude, but he should have retired. He doesn't need the money, he's very well off. We even went to the same high school
What a crummy press release. "Loss?", yeah that's right with the parentheses, I was there in person and he got the shit kicked out of him. A bloody battle? Damn straight, the only one bleeding was Vinny, all over the joint.
I read it the same way, though, UGBK. And there's no questioning that the release was written to dismiss the fight as just a loss, as if Vinny is or ever was relevant even in today's shitty heavyweight division.
Maybe I should delete my previous post so that nobody would even think that I was actually defending Maddalone or the article
its too late. much like the pics of oscar, it's arleady out there and embedded in the minds of millions. perhaps Maddalone will appear on ET tonight and speak on your behalf
