not sure what that rabbi comment has to do w/ anything. i saw yuri fight at his last bout in the bronx. he's quick, but ran around the ring too much. i had him losing, and i think he got a little lucky to win that SD. but he's gotta show me something tonight against roman. fightnews says Arum is gonna give him a title shot this year...we'll see

cruz punches coming out/clubbing right lands/double right from cruz/Long right catches cruz on end,snaps head/uopper from Clottey lands on inside/quick duster combo from clottey,4 punches/double left from cruz,cruz catches wide hook/upper...........WOW ref steps in and stops fight suddenly........cruz looking around like WTF.Clottey was winning big but oblivious stoppage.Ref stops it on "accumlilation of shots" IMO,B.S

clottey is saying he will fight whoever they tell him


he said hes fine with cotto


he could beat cotto ;)

Clottey lands 111 of 237 Cruz lands 64 of 245....

Clottey said cruz was defenseless.He calls out Cotto...Cintron/Margarito winner.He "loves Bob Arum".Ricky Guittierrez is Interviewed and said Cruz was wincing and backing up.Solid of ref to do interview and tell it how he saw it but this goes under "If thats the case why even sign the contract" lol

No doubt dude,He can give Valuev a run for his money in the Big hairy bear department ;D

next up Foreman vs. Roman. Foreman takes some heat for boxing quite a bit and seemingly lacking pop .I dont mind it.The Jr. Middle need some players and Maybe Foreman can stir up the mix.Showd some moxie last outing vs.Tsserkan with bad cut,and had previously upended Once promising Anthony Thompson via w.10.Roman is no gimme and hopfully can force some questions on Foreman.
