Yes Terry Norris was dq'ed twice against Luis Santana. The Canadian referee screwed up here. Parker was thrashing Dimitrenko but the rules are there for a reason, otherwise the sport becomes a jailhouse fight with minimal rules.

All we have is for want of a better word the blarney coming out of the Fury camp which is self serving at best. If he was truly depressed he wouldn't have been at the lightweight unification fight last weekend. I suspect he suffers from manic depression. From what I have read online cocaine has...

I actually remember the eating transition from the normal built people of the early 70's to this era. Back in the day fast food was barely eaten, except on special occasions or road trips. These days most people are too lazy to pack sandwiches for lunch and cook dinners if they have things to...

I suspect the mental state Fury is in we would have a remake of Lewis vs Mcall II or something like Ali vs Spinks II. Either scenario would be another black eye for boxing in the pr department. Fury isn't the first heavyweight champion to fall off the wagon for the Peruvian Powder, but he is...

The unified lightweight champion is White by Venezuelan standards. If he had a chin he would probably be a superstar as all of his losses have been by dramatic ko's. Here's a photo of Linares with the story of his unification...

Not true at all on Entine. This was probably the worst Olympics since the late 80's for East African runners, also Wade Van Niekirk destroyed Johnson's near untouchable world record. Van Niekirk isn't Black by African standards or most of the Americas(US aside). Entine used a very dirty era...

He looked very polished for a raw semi novice. His opponent wasn't a cupcake as he has amateur wins over Charles Martin and Dominic Breazeale. As with most prospects a chin check will probably tell more about his future than blow out wins.

I really haven't been paying much attention to this "event", but I found individual countries plus continental teams confusing to say the least. I understand why Europe is in the tournament but North America makes no sense when Canada and the US are in the tournament. I remember years ago...

John Kuhn is a goal line back so he should be listed here as he gets more work than other tailbacks listed here. Also Gaffney was put on the IR for the 3rd time as far as I know.

I always thought this fight wouldn't happen as Ruiz has been matched very carefully since he stunk out the joint against the extremely shot White Wolf. Now it looks like Hughie Fury will have to line up another...

In retrospect it's obvious that Baby Gronk made the Bills because of contract technicalities but I don't get how they didn't him want on the practice squad just in case Felton gets hurt or looks old all of sudden like the reporters were suggesting during the training camp. Just knowing the...

Yes, I thought Smith would go the distance and then all of sudden his punch resistance went south from taking the beating from Canelo. With the obvious weight issues Canelo has at 154 I suspect if the pesos are right Canelo and GGG might meet next fall after all. As a marketing gimmick GGG...

Nobody posted a thread on this so I might as well talk about this on paper mismatch. The weigh in was today and Canelo looked somewhat drained in making 154. While his face didn't look ashen, he clearly looked fairly dry and had to strip naked to make the limit. I expect him to unofficially...

I was about to post this last night. Revis who hasn't been truly elite for a couple of years now is just another cornerback now. Seeing Goodwin burn Revis further confirmed his fall as all he does is run a good deep route and isn't an NFL calibre receiver on any other pattern.

This is just mediocre coaching orthodoz viewpoints. It's similar to being anal on 40 yard dash times. It's more work watching film on a marginal sized lineman or marginal speed player and in terms of football coaching to evaluate a marginal speed player. Ps a smaller stronger player will be...

I thought Choclatito's better skills won a close fight. It seemed in too many rounds Caudros let Choclatito dictate the flow of the round and rallied late in the fight. In terms of handspeed Caudras seemed to have the faster guns but was too judicial in his work rate.

Gremlin just isn't built to play qb at the NFL level. Without weights he would probably be a skinny track athlete. If you notice guys like Farve and Manning had a husky build to them when they had their iron man streaks. Gremlin looks like he should be modeling for Calvin Kline. Gremlin could...

Back before water cutting most middleweights had to be short to have any muscularity to them. Now guys can look like GGG at the weigh in and have the look of a stocky light heavyweight a day and half later. The fight played out like I thought it would. If Brook's corner didn't show mercy we...

Stipe just beat on Overoid with a vicious ground and pound finish. Overoid off roids looks like a weekend warrior and had the stamina of one too. He did floor Stipe but was playing keep away through out the fight and this bit him in the ass. Stipe has now one up on Lebron in title defenses...

There have been some bizarre "insider" comments about GGG having some sort of bug or being weight drained. I didn't notice either as he wasn't pale or the dried out look that many weight drained fighters have. Mayb they are just internet rumours to make the fight seem more competitive than it...

Semian looked poised and not in over his head for his first start in the NFL. He looks like he could be a solid starter with more experience. He also showed that he can roll out and get yards on a scramble and unlike Scam he isn't selling out his body for the first down. I expect Scam to start...

Maybe it was summer playhouse night as she acted winded and kept on twisting her wrist. She did look winded to me but what do you expect when she has a literal pot belly that she hides in a dress. This year is probably the other side of the hill for Williams as her stamina isn't what it was...

He reminds me of an aging fighter that fights one tough fight a year because his body can't handle a tough training camp. At one time before the new PED programs 26 was viewed as over the hill in sprinting. Obviously winning a bronze medal when your best world level is that doesn't mean you...

Technically they chose journeyman Luke Stocker over the best fullback in the draft. I don't get this one and I hope a team who needs a utility back claims him on waivers in the near future. He shouldn't rot on Tampa's practice squad for long.

Baby Gronk made the Bills squad and veteran Felton was shown the door. I woke up this morning to reporters talking about Baby Gronk having more versatility than Felton and he would be roughly 1/4 the cost to keep him on the rosters.
