nice find for the site, welcome Al
boxing's on a bit of an upswing IMO, great fights are being made and it at least seems to me that the sport has gotten more mainstream attention since the Hatton-Pacquaio fight.
As far as Angulo goes I think he won't be able to cut it at the really elite level but he'll probably win a title and he'll be fine against Cintron.
I have enjoyed Al Bernstein's coverage on boxing for years. I look forward to listening to his analysis of fights just as much as the fights itself on Showtime. Living in a world with a lot of distortion from the facts, Al Bernstein keeps it simple and is very objective. He is extremely well informed and gives a perspective that not only die-hard fight fans can appreciate, but even a casual sports fan can value!
Sweet Saddo,
This is a big deal!!
Look forward to following the articles.
Have always liked ol' Bernstein.Used to love he and -Edit- (did I say I liked Matthews,someone smack me with a hammer)Tompkins on the original Espn shows,great chemistry.Has anyone ever heard his singing :lolhaha:,Roooough, jk jk. Looking forward to reading his insight.
Fantastic to have you here Al.
I agree with you regarding the excitement factor around the current crop of fighters. Not often through history have been seen numerous potential future hall of famers plying their trade in the same division at the same time. We had the Heavyweights of the early seventies and my favourite era of Hagler Hearns Leonard and Duran. But looking at the current Welterweight division we have Shane Mosley, Manny Pacquiao (if he decides to fight at 147) the return of Floyd Mayweather, Miguel Cotto and Paul Williams should he decide to drop back down. There are some mouthwatering matchups in there - let's just hope they get made!!
Al has an outstanding Boxing mind. I look forward to reading his articles
Welcome Al I'm going to enjoy reading your column:thumb:
Great stuff Saddo!
Excellent piece of news and a great addition to the site, was watchin Al last night funnily enough on some fights I transferred from VHS to DVD, even looking at back at fights it was great to see Al's enthusiasm even though he knew the results and had seen them probably 100 times.
Welcome aboard.
Showtime's boxing team kicks the bottom of HBO's imnsho and Al is the best of the lot.
Why is the theme song from The Jeffersons going through my head now?
Al's the man.
Such an incredible addition to the forum, very nice find and welcome into the Saddo family, Al.
Al Bernstein always stays pretty unbiased during the fights ,Lampley could learn a thing from him in that dept. Watched him many times on espn and Showtime.
Good stuff. I look forward to reading the following articles.
It's all about the facts. Fact.
Hi Al welcome aboard the board. :drinker:Cheers mate.
