Froch has raised his stock considerably in the last two three years, starting with his KO of Taylor. Before that he was doing some yapping but people were saying who has he fought. They can't say that now. He has proved that he belongs.

I expected Kessler to outbox Froch, but I think Froch outboxed Kessler. Mikkel just didnt' look like the same guy who won the first half of his fight against Joe Calzaghe. I watched the replay and Kessler got his head snapped back by Froch a bunch of times, just like he did against Ward. And...

If they had fought in England Froch could have been given the decision. It was a very close fight. I think Kessler is past his prime. At times he resorted to just flailing away, which is enough in your home town. He looks to have lost something off his fastball. He's not the same fighter...

I think Adamek-Haye would be a great match-up.

I sure hope Toby can succeed and open some doors and, more importantly, some minds. I usually buy all the draft mags well before the draft and go over them. I didn't bother this year. I guess I had an inkling. I've already bailed on MLB baseball and the NBA. I can bail on the NFL too.

I saw that. Jeff Gruden was trying to get under Colt's skin, to test his reaction. I don't think Chucky would use that tactic on a black QB, mocking his manner of speech. He'd probably get canned.

I'm just making a lame joke. Really though, my given name is on your list, and my surname is fairly common in the black community. So if I were to commit a crime and the newspaper didn't mention my race, a lot of people would surmise that I'm black because my name sounds somewhat black. The...

Hey what the hell Deadlift. My name is on that list. My Dad has some splainin' to do.

I watched the replay, and I know Kelly can beat Martinez. Kelly clearly won rounds 5 thru 8 and was on his way to a solid win, but the second cut messed his vision up. He had Martinez figured out and was out boxing him and landing the heavier punches till he got cut again in the ninth...

I saw him fight only once, but he appeared to be a super talent. Really fast with a good punch. Loaded with charisma too. I was looking forward to seeing him fight again. Looks like his demons doomed him to a short life. Too bad he took his wife with him. Man what a tragic waste.

Could be that staph infection took something out of Kelly. Add a possible drinking problem, his struggle to make 160, and he just didn't have it down the home stretch of this fight. Maybe he's been BSing himself, that he can still party and his punch will bail him out. Like whiteathlete33 says...

Kelly had pulled even and looked like he was taking over the fight at the eighth round. He had figured the right range out, then I think the blood from the cuts was affecting his vision and hurting his judgement of distance and Martinez had the speed to take advantage. It looked to me like Kelly...

Where the hell is everybody? Kelly Pavlik is fighting tonight! Remember him? Tall lanky Slovak/Irish kid with a blue collar style and heavy hands? Owner of three of the greatest wins by an White American fighter in the last several decades? He's fighting tonight. And there ain't no question is...

Right on.

The Hopkins fights and injuries put Kelly into a bit of a funk. Add to that the challenge of keeping your focus after you've reached the top, there's the possibility that Kelly may have peaked. Martinez is just the type of guy to give Kelly trouble. Which is good. Let's see if The Ghost still...

What a boring vid from Vlad. Man, he's just not exciting. He needs to spice it up. Make some faces and roll his eyes a few times. Throw in some childish poetry. Flash a room brightening smile. Pop a 78 on an IQ test. Then they might call him The Greatest.

That's right. I wasn't able to watch the second half, so I was counting on the highlights to cover the progression of the game, with all those ties and lead changes, but was very disapointed. But it was 90% post game blather. It was more about the haircuts getting camera time than showing the...

This final should help the white players coming up to realize maybe they can reach a higher level than a lot of people think they can. And maybe, just maybe, it might get some coaches to sign that white kid so they don't miss out on the next Kyle Singler or John Scheyer. Or Brian Zoubek. Or...

Great win for Duke, one I could relax and enjoy toward the end as they rained in the threes to finish W. Virginia off. The other day I was at work and someone asked me who I liked in the tourney. I told them Duke and there was an awkward silence, as if I'd committed some sort of faux pas...

Ruiz isn't the most spectacular heavy out there, but he is a dogged, determined man. I think he can make Haye look bad, if not beat him. I think he can pull it off.

All the hype for Haye makes this a golden opportunity for Ruiz to redeem himself for some boring fights (not to mention losing to Roy Jones). The Quiet Man knows his way around the ring, and he has a sneaky right hand just made for the likes of Haye. I like his chances.

The rot runs deep. I've coughed up some dough in the past, but no more. I actually made this decision some time ago, but this Steele fellow seals the deal.

Well...the Admiral does a good job as the straight man.

Has the ring doctor checked with Girrel to see if he has stopped crying yet? If Abraham had stepped it up two or three rounds earlier I think he would have had Girrel for sure. Whatever happened afterward, I know the slip was for real. They happen too much, and always on those damn logos...
