What would we do without Kellerman and Teddy Atlas? They're priceless. The Tweedlestein and Tweedleberg of boxing. Yeah, I saw Max's little presentation. He saved the best for last, the mighty David Haye, his new black hope. Haye is the proud owner of a high RPM mouth and exactly one win at...

Cintron looked half shot. I don't think he ever recovered after getting plastered twice by Margarito.

True, Letterman is all the above, but I don't have to like someone's politics to find them funny. And I wouldn't worry too much about our actor. Little Mr. Brat Pack will get plenty of help if he wants it. I'm just glad it was Letterman's show. Could you imagine what Oprah would have done...

The whole phony sit down and chat talk show routine has always made me uncomfortable as it is. I understand some guests have resorted to something called beta blockers to help them relax. If you sit in that chair and piss Letterman off you're toast. As pathetic as Phoenix was, Letterman...

Arce sure showed he can take a punch. The both showed that the little guys can put on a heck of a fight. Darchinyan should try to get back in with Donaire now.

Mitchell was very good, and a real bright spot back in the dark days before the white boxing revival. Wish I could have made it down to Sacramento to see him fight Tony Lopez.

This will be a good one. Both these guys always go into the ring thinking they're the man.

Vince Ferragamo started at QB for Los Angeles Rams in the 1980 superbowl. I remember them mentioning he had attended medical school. Bright obviously, but he was also known to trot halfway out to the huddle from a sideline conference, then have to go back because he forgot the instructions. He's...

Yeah, I saw that yesterday, with the usual look what my lawyer wrote for me apology. But for endorsements there's no money in swimming, do Phelps is going to feel this.

Uh, ah ha. ah ha ha ha ha ha. Excuse me. I think, mmff hee hee hee, ha ha ha HA HA HA HA HA...hold on. Okay, uh, hoo hoo hoo hoo HOO HOO HOO uhh. Oh my ribs...I'll get back with you on HUH HUH HUH, excuse me...this...hmff ha ha..Edited by: The Hock

This guy looks like a fighter. Right up there with Golovkin. And don't forget Vasyl Lomachenko. He completely dominated at the olympics and won the Val Barker award. Evidently he hasn't turned pro yet. He could well be the best of them all.

Quite the European playboy Ingo was. After 1970, he couldn't take a ring bow before a fight in Sweden, because the government banned professional boxing. Not a nice sport, they said. So Ingo was the last of his kind. That funny smelling ESPN bunch love to show Patterson fights two and three...

Tunney beat The Man, but didn't get much love from the press. From his end he didnt seem to think much of the press. And this is pre television, when the media was more literate. I wonder what he would think of today's bunch.

Gotta love the heavyeights. Just two fights and Fury's already under the microscope. He did look better in his second fight, albeit against Buttermean Jr. in a skirt. So far so good, but he could well vanish in a puff of smoke with the first decent punch that finds him. We'll be watching.

With the Soprano's the stuff with Tony's home life got tedious after a while. What also bugged me was all the racial mixing and matching. Tony's daugher had a black boyfriend, his son had a Puerto Rican girlfriend (who looked like she could beat him up)Paulie had a Puerto Rican girlfriend, and...

Margorito's whole career is tainted now. I wondered how a guy with six losses got where he did the last couple years, and how he busted up Cotto the way he did. Shane should give this Richardson guy a bonus. Billy Collins is up there somewhere shaking his head.

Wow. Man, I know the Mexicans are hating it on this one. Looks like Margarito wasn't ready, and Shane was. Maybe Pretty Boy sees a payday and comes back and Mosley takes him down too.

He really does physically resemble Gerry Cooney, hands not as heavy but better boxing skills and a more varied arsenal. Jab, uppercut, left hook, right cross. I like that he's only twenty with some amateur cred. Yeah, much better with his honeymoon over. Now he's on his boxing honeymoon till...

I was going to pass on this, because I just didn't like the premise; Aged white man (combat vet) shunned by own family and trapped in a "changing" neighborhood. But now I have to to see it. Sounds like it's nuanced in a way most current Hollywood products aren't permitted to be.

At this point Sugar Shane is a re-tread who needs some re-fills, if you get my drift. His experience might help him last the twelve, and that's about it.

Fury looks okay. Reminds me of a young Gerry Cooney a little bit, without the big left hook. He needs to keep working at it, and add some muscle. We'll see.

After Vlad's last win he I noticed he made the HBO guy wait in line for an interview. You can tell his attitude has changed. His eyes have been opened to the entity that lurks in the background of the American media. Maybe he thought he could just fight his way out from under its shadow, but...

I don't know what to make of this. So he passed on a paycheck?

That's an interesting way to look at it. How will we know when the Empire is officially dead? Well, maybe when a white christian male is treated almost as a joke presidential candidate, while an African with a Muslim name, or a woman socialist get elected president. That might be a clue. I...

With Emmanual Steward calling him a "future hall of famer" I was expecting more than what I saw from Andy Lee. I always hold my breath with Irish fighters, especially when they are fighting tough Mexicans. Often when an Irish guy attains a certain level then gets turned back, it's a Mexican on...
