This day in boxing. A look back.

[greynotsoold]

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.
