I assume that Scott Gilfoid tries to stir up controversy with intentionally ludicrous statements. He wrote that Dirrell was a "blend" of Ali, Mayweather, and somebody else (maybe Jones, can't remember.) It's hard to imagine anybody saying that without his tongue planted firmly in cheek...

What a wonderfully shocking moment when he dropped him with the head shot. LOL @ Lennox Lewis for saying that it wasn't that big of a punch. Please. That was a perfect shot. Thank God there was no controversy- or manufactured controversy- this time around. The ref's count was 12...

Styles make fights. Calzaghe is more open defensively, so Kessler landed some great shots. That doesn't make Ward better than Calzaghe. Against Ward, Calzaghe would throw all those punches in bunches, before clinches, during clinches, after clinches. Ward doesn't have enough pop to back up...

Yeah, Gus Johnson and the others were openly rooting for Rogers. At one point in the 2nd round, Fedor had Rogers against the cage and was nailing him with some punches, and Johnson claimed that they were all blocked. Bullsh*t! I saw at least five or six punches land in that flurry. I think...

Yeah, I guess I should've said "track," not "T&F." Obviously we do well in everything other than sprinting, but the lack of white success in the 100, 200, and hurdles is a little annoying. And now Wariner being the second best in the 400m is pretty disappointing. And it would be nice to see...

Yeah, that's the bottom line. Boxing and MMA are my favorite sports. I like boxing a little bit more- don't ask me why... I don't know. There's a certain degree of subjectivity regarding the sports we like. I can hardly watch other sports, partly because they're depressing, and partly...

Two Russian prospects, Demitry and Fedor. Demitry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztvl6Ex27T4 Fedor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYKQxcS8pFk Talk about quick KO's!

I agree. Machida is very talented, but he hasn't accomplished as much in his career as GSP, Fedor, and Silva have in their careers. He has their talent, but not their accomplishments... yet.

To be fair, it was the other guy, Goldberg, who called him a genetic freak. But he did seem to imply that it was unique for a white man to be "chiseled out of concrete." Combine that with his "built like a black man" comment, and it's pretty clear that he believes in a racial difference re...

Fedor has had an amazing career, probably the best ever, but I think rankings should be heavily weighted towards recent performances, e.g., over the last two or three years. If we go back to July 2006, three years ago: Fedor: Coleman, Hunt, Lindland, Choi, Sylvia, Arlovski GSP: Hughes...

He should've taken a soft touch after his last KO. Fighting a hard-hitting, undefeated southpaw after a brutal KO was not exactly a wise decision, at least for Macca. Warren promotes Macca and Lebedev, so the fight was a win-win for him. If he wants to continue his career, he and his team...

Good fighter, but still very young and has room for improvement. He punched himself out a little bit, and had to get some rest in the clinches. Normally, a 6'3" fighter shouldn't have to fight on the inside like that. If he paces himself better and fights tall, he's on his way.

I agree, Westside. Williams and Sturm are his best options. It's too bad they're not considering Williams for now, and Sturm for later, given that Sturm had a fight much more recently. That should be more doable. But those are the best possible fights for him.

Thanks, The Hock. Yeah, when a fighter talks like Vic does (or Lesnar, or Tarver, or Mayweather, or whoever,) they're opening themselves up to look foolish if they falter. But like you, I'll always root for a white fighter over a non-white fighter, regardless of how obnoxious he is. I think...

Exactly. Taylor, Ward, and Dirrell are there because they're Americans. They certainly haven't earned it. In a pure meritocracy, it would be Bute, Andrade, and Balzsay. But boxing is a business like everything else. I just looked at the Ring rankings and Bika and Green are ahead of...

What an ugly fight. Two of the most fundamentally unsound fighters I've ever seen. Lunging, throwing themselves off balance, shuffling their feet, squaring up, no jabs, terrible. When Darchinyan throws his left hand, he ends up in an orthodox stance, and when Agbeko throws his right hand, he...

Great perspective. I wasn't particularly impressed with Dimitrenko, so this wasn't a shocker for me. Of course it's never fun to see, or hear about, a white fighter losing to a black fighter. But this was just one top ten guy beating another top ten (or fifteen) guy. No big deal. The HW...

Yep, five official KD's and one "slip" caused by a right to the temple. Not a bad outing for King Arthur.

It was a dumb thing to say. Clearly he was looking for any sort of defense against steroid allegations, and that's what he could come up with. He gets very agitated when asked about it; during an interview on E-60, he stormed out of the room. He's an emotional guy with a big mouth, and it got...

The only significant punch that Chagaev landed was a left hand that landed after the bell. One foul, that's it. Total domination. Wlad has never looked better. Dwid, Wlad's inoculated, so he wouldn't contract the disease. The only concern would be people ringside, not Wlad. As for...

Nope, not gonna happen. There are just way too many good white fighters in the upper weight divisions for them not to fight each other. Look at Klitschko-Chagaev. That's going to be for the Ring belt! There will be an undeniable, irrefutable white Heavyweight champ after that fight. Who...

Terrific. Can't wait to see him on Showtime again. Given that Showtime is showcasing a lot of Super-Middleweight fighters right now, one has to wonder if they're looking to give Abraham a little extra exposure to an American audience before a move up to the 168 pound division. Showtime...

I would love to see him fight either one. Unification! The winner of either fight would have three belts. Not too shabby.
