Malik Scott just got jobbed.

potential for a fun Showtime card tomorrow night.

also, i hope Rios beats Manny into retirement. However, i wonder how/if steroid testing is done for fights sanctioned by the commission in Macau?

Figueroa / Arakawa was one of the best brawls in recent memory

Been traveling just about every weekend lately, pissed that I've missed some good cards.

The beating Nate Cleverly took yesterday was the kind that ruins a career.

Looked like he was fighting a guy from two weight classes up.

If I was running his corner he wouldn't have answered the bell for the 4th. He was out on his feet before the bell rang.

Indeed. It was bad.

ESPN.com has a story on Tommy Morrison. It's a sad read, and he apparently is on the verge of death.

I haven't kept up with boxing like I used to. Are there any good US heavyweights out there?

Nobody in the class of the Klitschkos. Deontay Wilder might have some potential, but his entire scalp list at this point is full of lumberjacks and bartenders.

Hopefully the UFC craze will slow down soon so we can get more skilled big guys in boxing. It gets old watching 98 pound Brazilians fight all the time. Until then I guess I'll have to keep going for the Klitchkos.

I'll take that any day of the week if it means I don't have to watch two huge guys lean on each other and hug for 12 rounds. Give me a real fight, no matter the weight class.

Wasted talent.

Ricky Burns fights at 3 on Wealth TV, which is apparently a real television station. I also apparently have said channel.

Disgusting decision. Burns has won his last 2 fights in questionable fashion. Hope ssomeone knocks him the **** out.

Rumor has it that the fix is in for PBF/Canelo if Floyd doesn't knock him out. Looking to a record selling rematch.

Who knows, though nothing surprises me anymore.

Unfortunately, this.

Hopefully ODLH can get himself cleaned up for good this time.

Also hope this relapse doesn't lead to more leaked lingerie pics of the guy

God, I hope we don't have to go through that again.

I wouldn't hold my breath.

Is this goin to be Floyd's first L??

I don't think so. But one of these days he's going to get old overnight. Saturday is as good a day as any.
