- who wore it best, medical gown edition: ryan garcia or edgar berlanga?
- the wba continue to be ass backwards at how they handle any process. the fact that there needs to be a box off for one wba champion when they could have (should have) just stripped jamal james the way they did other paper champs is ridiculous. james should be the mandatory, and a purse bid date announced, with a spence unification the only exception to be made. but no... too logical. instead they bring two guys that have had only 13 fights each and force them into the equation without any marquee wins (dulorme is a good fighter but not even a top 15 guy). stanionis has been a pro 3 years... ugas waited 9 years for his first shot. so on trend for the wba and their idiocy.
- one thing i will NOT be doing on xmas is working my schedule around a vito mielnicki fight!
Unbelievable that after beating Golota that Tyson having traces of marijuana in his blood instead of getting a W instead got a NC. If anything marijuana would inhibit your performance rather than improve it. We need strict drug laws to stop real cheating, i think a biological passport were an athlete's body is tested from the start of their career and all through it so any changes are picked up in tests are the way to go. We need every fighter to be signed up to VADA's 365 drug testing protocols.
I though Lopez-Kabbosos was a big fight [maybe I've listened to the hype too much] so don't understand why it's at the Hulu and not the main arena?
Sanctioning bodies at their best again: So we don't get to see Inoue/Donaire 2 next. Oh well, Nonito's only 39 next month, so he has plenty of time left :) If Ugas can get the Spence fight without needing a belt to put on the line, hopefully he'll take it and walk away from WBA.
good stuff, as always, dan! a few thoughts:
