I'm not a huge boxing fan, but during my early years in vegas I used to go to some pretty big (tho not heavyweight) fights at caesars palace. back then, I think I may have paid $25-50 for a ticket. I remember seeing camacho, bobby chacon, danny lopez, greg haugen, leon spinks, ray mancini and guys like that. I'll bet most of them are pretty messed up these days :oops:

Sad sad story. He did put himself into the position but it's still saddening.
My right hand has a first name...it's P.E.D.S, PEDS!
You're welcome Marquez
Love,

I did not expect to see Manny laying on his face, i fully expected another 12 rounds and the judges to screw it up again. hmmmmm loaded handwraps and P.E.D's?
Yeah, he did. He was good for the sport and I don't know exactly what this was about, probably when he was trying to force Floyd to apologize to him on TV rather than talking about the fight he just finished.
I always liked him because his interviews were filled with unpredictable unintentional comedy from a pure perspective of a train wreck. There also was a slight chance that one of the boxers he was insulting in post-fight interview could pop his head into the tenth row with a quick uppercut at any moment.
Going to see Adrien Broner fight in AC next month. Pretty pumped
Thats awesome. "The Problem" is a great boxer. If that guy keeps going the way he's going, we will be talking about him being the best pound for pound in the world very soon.

Bummer that the Seth Mitchell fight on the undercard got cancelled.
Yeah, I would have liked to see that big ass dude fight. Great night though. Boardwalk Hall is a cool spot for a fight. Broner is awesome. Rees did what he could and had the crowd behind him for a little while. So hungover
Broner vs Malignaggi? Seems like a huge jump for Broner and too risky. Would probably win, but I don't know about jumping two weight classes at this point

Really!?! Hadn't heard that. That is a HUGE jump for Broner in size. I still think he will crush Pauli though. Broner is essentially a young Floyd only with power and a heart.

Not definite. I hear you and agree, just a risky jump.

They are. Before the Donaire fight next Saturday

All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.
Gotta wonder where Manny goes from here.
he was asking for fight 5 :fp:
Yeah, Arum is already talking about a 5. Tough to recover from a hit like that though.
I can' t imagine they would put Manny in the ring with Rios after that. 5 seems like the most logial fight.
Maybe Floyd will actually fight him now that he has lost a couple.....
:fp:

didnt he just retire? i liked his analysis
Yeah, he did. He was good for the sport and I don't know exactly what this was about, probably when he was trying to force Floyd to apologize to him on TV rather than talking about the fight he just finished.

Broner is the kid from cincy right? caught his last two fights. kid is good. don't know the other guy.
Yeah, real good. Next big thing. Other guy is from Brooklyn, older, good career, but a lot bigger.
Both are some serious shit talkers though, so that would be fun.
