Quick Jabs: Grading Bob Arum’s Excuses For No Manny Pacquiao For Floyd Mayweather, Jr.; Drunk-Dialing Your Way To A Fight; More

These guys over in Taiwan who do computer-animated takes on the news crack me up. I don’t agree with their take at all on this particular issue, but it would be better if real life was like this. Who wouldn’t want to see Manny Pacquiao punch Floyd Mayweather, Jr. in his freshly prison-raped ass? (h/t)

We will be getting to part II of the series about up-and-coming fighters very soon, but I’ve been preoccupied this week with preparing for a boxing presentation at Nerd Nite in D.C., a very fun event at DC9, for those looking for something to do this evening. Don’t take my word for it. The Washington Post says that listening to me talk about boxing is a great way to spend your weekend.

Also, a little announcement — you’ve no doubt noticed Mark Ortega writing a bit more around these parts. As of this week he’s joining the staff. Welcome him and his encyclopedic knowledge about fighters and his enterprise reporting and all the other things he does.

Enough house-cleaning! We’ll do some Quick Jabs now, hitting some news items in lightning fashion, then go Round and Round, discussing some fights in the works.
