In a world where…
Manny Pacquiao political rival Roy Chiongbian and his bucket brigade are preparing their electoral trickbag to use on the Pinoy Idol in Sarangani, you would think L’il Floyd Mayweather would come out and publicly endorse his boy Roy, thus ensuring Manny victory in the Congressional race. Not to mention how astute Mayweather is politically to begin with. Mayweather doesn’t know Harry Reid from Jesse Reid, actually. Someone asked Mayweather what the capital of Nevada is and his first answer was “Baccarat,” his second was “Fallon.”…
False rumors circulate like wildfire, I am hearing from those close to Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez that Edwin Valero did not wear his REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS teeshirt when a judge sent him to dry out for six months. Menawhile. referee Laurence Cole has ruled the down the stars tumble that Mrs. Valero took, causing her to suffer a collapsed lung plus multiple bruises, a slip and not a knockdown…
Fighters, promoters and other riffraff moan and groan like washerwomen when they lose a boxing match, Pinay beauty Ana Julaton displays true sportsmanship after losing to Lisa Brown…
It would seem that the potentates of Dubai have bigger problems, they say a boxing card was canceled because Subpac, meaning Manny bro Bobby, refused to fight on it for $20,000. Come on, that’s tip money at Nat’s Thai Restaurant for Broadway Bobby. I might be able to bring in Rudolph Valentino Clay aka Rahaman Ali for half that amount plus two camels to go…
We’re bombarded by boxing and MMA events, one may stand out. Ricardo Mayorga will bring his unique brand of insanity to Fayetteville, NC, and the Crown Coliseum (PPV TV) on May 15. Warning to the North Carolina city, the dignified local hero James “Bonecrusher” Smith was no mercurial menace like Mayorga. Devin Price and his upstart Shine Fights clique is bringing a bigtime card to Fayetteville…
Even Tiger Woods finally admitted being overpaid, overbearing and oversexed, Andre Dirrell refuses to apologize to “I put the mean in Armenian” King Arthur Abraham for shoving his jaw into the way of a cracking right hand swat while the American was down on one knee. What’s it all about, Andre?…
PETA activists like to drown furwearing models and celebrities with buckets of paint for mistreating animals, they now criticize Mike Tyson for his pigeon racing reality TV series. But as UK promoter Fearless Frank Warren deftly points out, not one PETA activist has dared to try to slap Iron Mike with “a protective coating.”…
He plays the perpetual underdog to richer HBO Showtime fight maven Ken Hershman (Fordham Law grad, a fine recommendation for any person) may come up smelling like roses if his American Andres, meaning Ward and Dirrell, wind up in the finals of the Showtime Super Six 168 pound tournament. Meanwhile, in King Artie fights Dirrell again in a natural rematch, he will do worse than he did the first time which was abysmal. It would help the dramatic aspect of the series if Carl Froch and/or Allan Green pulled an upset but…
He continues to span the globe and commutes from Auckland to Las Vegas as though it was traveling from LA to Phoenix, fight announcer Colonel Bob Sheridan (another of the Boston “Irish Mafia” in the fight game) has still not been promoted. Isn’t 45 years a long time to be stuck at colonel? In fairness, Sheridan did catapault to that rank from buck private in 1967. I blame Sheridan’s Chief Petty Officer, petty being the key word, Rapid Robert Trieger who lies and tells people we went to high school together. I was wearing swaddling clothes in my cradle when he graduated from Brighton (Boston) High School, I tell you…
The Sauerland/Abraham camp turned into sour Krauts when ref Leaping Larry Cole DQ’d King Artie for hitting a clearly down Dirrell, their anger seems to be abating. Just today, Wilfried Sauerland announced that Dirrell frontman Big Gary Shaw must undergo a frontal lobotomy before any rematch…
Grace, humility and humor is in short supply, I send Happy Easter wishes and prayers for better health to Lady Lorraine Chargin and her lesser half (his term), Don. You see plenty of goons, thugs and the like in boxing but none of them around the Chargins…
