What ever happened to...Michael Grant?? and...

[brocktonblockbust]

hey thanks for all those updates. Yes I remember seeing Wilson vs Tschabalala, it was a real heavyweight slugfest, quite dramatic the way Wilson came back after being clocked with a thunderous overhand right.

I also saw Mavrovic fight quite well against Lewis, remember the announcer mentioning he was vegetarian too.

WEird, the way these names just came and went like the wind, when at one point they had such potential, or so we were told.

Remember Samson Puoha? He was supposed to be so great, untila 40-someting Jesse Boogeyman Ferguson gave him a boxing lesson. Never heard from him since.

Anyone?

Golata also took a decent sized bit out of Puoha's shoulder. Can't blame him for leaving the scen.

Michael Grant was a physical freak
,very impressive when it was going his way...great piercing jab but really had quite a few soft touches early on but tore through some names and war horses in Dixon,Purity,Butler,Ice Cole and looked awesome in thumping useful David Izon.Had some hic ups with Obed Sullivan and was reserved in with his ex sparring partner Ahmad Abdin up until the end.He really went to hell & back with Golota...getting pole-axed early on and punched silly.He rebounded like a trooper late to put enough doubt into Golotas fragile grey matter....Andrew turning his back,quitting and looking for a change of clean briefs.I think the writing was on the wall as he went into the Lewis fight....and the rest is a wrap.
He seemed to need to be hit to actually get things going and explode on opponents.

If monstrous physics won fights....Monaco would be undefeated.Built like a brick shite house with a head full of corn-rows and winging hooks.Though he was a bit shafted vs.come backing Douglas..had his hurt and KTFO at/on/after the bell and Douglas was fully aware as that 5 minutes ticked by,he milked it Imo.

Darroll Wilson was just the flip of a coin type heavy,sporting a catchy nickname to boot.Will ever be in his debt for his absolute unwrapping and public spanking of very heavily hyped....and spoon fed Jiffy-pop Briggs in dramatic fashion.Now that was classic TV .In turn Tua almost decapitated him 2 or 3 fights later.Dude was solid and very willing...had wars with Tshabalala and freaky puncher Terrance Lewis and Izon.

Tshabalala....inspires more of a smiley than words.... fed on minnows coming up until lumbering Brian scott brought the house down on him and it was really downhill from there.Wilson got him,maskaev and even every ones favorite tire tread journeyman Middleweight /lt heavyweight & sympothy story Lenzie morgan gave his all types of cagey problems and stung him hard.

hahaha, I forgot about Andrew's vampire episode there. Tyson wasn't the only bloodsucker!!

what about Obed Sullivan? I remember this guy was supposed to have such potential.

Michael Grant - After beating Marcus McGee in 2005 he took 2 years off. Since then he's had a mini comeback starting in 2007 winning 4 fights including a NABA title in his last fight.

Calvin Brock - I believe he retired due to eye trouble as WelshDevilRob said. Being from the same state as the "Boxing Banker" I saw him on the local news talking about the recession. Calvin launched a second career as a commercial real estate broker. I doubt we'll be seeing him in the ring anytime soon.

He only ate organically produced food. Glen and Ian said they were gonna give it a try

1st time we Saw Maveric on TV was when he met Clifton Mitchel for the Euro title. It was a 2 round job. I saw Clifton working the doors at Pele Reids last fight

Larry Merchant said Tshabalala would be the next Mike Tyson. Ugh.
