Martinez is fun. He's a real badass in the ring. Don't like the matchup, but the card overall is solid and will make for a fun night of boxing.
It's supposedly pretty big in boxing. If it was such an issue, they should have put it in teh contract or something. Calling for it now...
Ask him if he's annoyed by the fact that Katsidis is so highly regarded despite winning a grand total of 0 meaningful fights.
I think that's somewhat what Jim Grey was alluding to. Every other olympic sport is going to be getting alot more interest today, which, in...
I never really found myself rooting for him, but you have to appreaciate the guy.
It'll fail overall, I think. But for some amateurs that will never go pro, it at least gives them some cash. Maybe they think it will entice...
In essence, amateur fighters will be able to participate in tournaments involved with AIBA and earn money. They also announced that they will...
I thought that was so badass....and not only because he stood toe to toe like a warrior, but because he TURNED SOUTHPAW in that round....even when...
I still don't think Oscar is fighting this year.
I can't f'n wait for his fight with Campbell though!
Serious?
Harry Joe Yorgey vs Jason LeHoullier Who is excited!?:hammert:
Anyone going to this?
Cotto vs. Mosley -- Mosley was doing really well in a fight where, coming into it, I actually thought he would get KO'ed. Not only was he not...
Cool, an Irish vs. GB showdown in the light heavyweight division.

Aaron Pryor I'd put Hatton on that list considering he turned down a HUGE payday against Oscar after realizing that he can't compete at 147....
That doesn't mean they'd experience success against previous generations.
MK, I think it had more to do with the overhand right that his opponent was loading up.
Maybe we should narrow down the list to unified champions or Ring beltholders. Baldomir Briggs Spinks
Jerry Quarry
I think they've been saying 1948
Overall, I think this crop of amateurs aren't as talented as other olympics, although, it looks like they're also considerably younger. So it's...

Just having a mother on the team would be enough.
Shoot, with all the drama going around about cutting events, we'll be lucky to have ANY boxing in 2012.
He got a bad rep coming into the games, but I'll give the guy credit for actually fighting for his guys and being honest with his opinions.
It's more about styles than results these days. Yanez, Andrade, and Raynell Williams have shown styles that would work very well in the pros....
