Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
The Curry v Rosi fight, I made some money off my friend. Because the fight was in Italy, I heard the result on the radio (Rich Marotta, the sports guy on KFI-AM in LA is a huge boxing fan and a really good guy), so, when we watched it on ESPN later, I 'predicted' the result with uncanny accuracy. As good a fight as Aguello/Limon was, I think Davis/Breland was better.

Fight of the day
2011: Paul Williams vs Erislandy Lara, Atlantic City. As much as I liked Williams, I cant understand how the cards were formulated. 114/114, 115/114 and 116/114 must have been preordained by HBO.
NOTE: Lara seems to be one of these guys that overachieves in big fights and underachieves in fights that should not be troublesome. This weekend is a big fight.

Turpin beats the greatest.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
Oh well stop the presses we need a replate.These two are on july 12th!!
I'm sure I've made mistakes and will continue to make some. I'm not all that concerned. The 11th, the 12th, oh well. Ike's fight started on the 11th but finished on the 12th.
