    Well it was touch and go on Saturday Kauks. There was an excellent chance that I'd have to get the hell out before the wind changed direction. That being said, there's plenty of that ash coming from skulls. Over 200 dead I believe at the moment.

    Worst part is that these fires are looking like people started them ALL. What the fuck has to be wrong with your mind to do this shit? A smaller one was started near my brothers house and the cops are questioning two 14 year old GIRLS.

    Fucking insane.

    I was wondering the same thing. How can a fire spread so fast that people couldn't get out of their cars???

    why not? seems like a brilliant idea to me.

    i really hope they put together a Margarito-Cotto rematch when he gets off suspension. but as others have mentioned, it's really a lose-lose for cotto

    I agree. It seems pretty sloppy to use an old one with bloodstains.

    The CSAC was pretty oblivious, given the fact that they weren't even the ones who caught it, but Richardson was the one.

    They're not as thorough nowadays at going thru things anyway. Armando Garcia was pretty anal from what I've heard when he was the director of the CSAC, before he decided to do a Clarence & Isiah Thomas impression. He'd have more inspectors go to the dressing rooms of each fighter. He fired inspectors for asking boxers for autographs.

    Dean Lohius isn't as strict from what I hear, and with less inspectors in the dressing room, it's easy to pull some shady shit.

    Ridiculously high winds and the highest temperature we've ever had, coupled with a 'green' outlook that made us all forget that nature can be an unstopple force regardless of how 'green' we are.

    Our government ignored things like firebrakes and undergrowth clearing because they're not politically viable. I hope now we can all see that these things MUST be done. No agenda is worth 200 lives and countless displaced people.

    This can never be allowed to happen again.

    They've got one of the arsonists.

    Guys how much more power does Illegal wraps give you? In Margarito's case does it really give the fighter that more of a damaging punch?

    ....hard to know....we don't really know that much about the object itself. But it must make enough difference in order for it to be worth the risk.

    If you don't have that natural power and natural explosion of energy that a true puncher has, plus great punching technique, then no it's not going to make you a 1 punch KO artist.

    What it is going to do is HURT a lot more than a normal punch, which can be discouraging, bust up your face more, and potentially cause long term damage.

    I'm guessing points 2 and 3 were Plasterito's motives, unless Plasterito is a bonafide sadist.
