Joey Chestnut Took Mustard Yellow Belt, Holt And Torres In Rematch For WBO No Mustard Belt Tonight!
Author: Michael Marley 7/5/2008
There were many losers at Coney Island Friday as speed eating freaks Joey Chestnut and Takeru Kobayashi battled to a regulation time draw. Frankly, the two hot dog contest favorites both inhaled 59 wieners before the closing bell.
Unlike boxing, in which a champion retains his title on a draw, they went in sudden death overtime (maybe literally) or what was euphemistically termed “a dog off.” First guy to wolf down five dogs plus five buns won.

Racism? RACISM?!
Ridiculous is what I say.
If you don't know what this is in reference to you need only find retired, Floyd Mayweather's latest interview in which he blasts Jim, Larry, and the crew for being racist. Supposedly, praise towards Pavlik, and Pacquiao, and scorn towards him proves that Jim is GL Rockwell, Larry is David Duke, Max is the new Ed Norton from American History X, and Lennox is this generation's Uncle Tom.

Stripper Milana's Hands Faster Than De La Hoya's But Her Footwork Is Terrible!
Author: Michael Marley 7/4/2008
I’ve got to admit I have not a clue as to whether this photo of the fetching and surely naturally-breasted Russian stripper/model Milana Dravnel is real of a Photoshop job.
But I can submit to you that the former Scores peeler who was in those controversial photos with Oscar de la Hoya may have faster hands than the boxer.
It’s Milana’s footwork that seems to be not so nimble.

Frankly Speaking And With Relish, Edwin Valero Will Be Slaughtered By Peaking Manny Pacquiao!

There are story lines aplenty. The prefight “B” roll video will be awesome with Edwin Valero throwing roundhouse bombs and various tuk-tuk drivers dropping to the canvas.
The Top Rank publicity machine will have so much grist for the mill it will only occasionally have to lean on the “puncher’s chance” angle.

Fernando Vargas In Line For Fight With Mikkel Kessler?

He was last seen in the ring taking a butt whoopin’ from Nicaragua’s madman Ricardo Mayorga. On the public front, Fernando Vargas was seen this past weekend in Las Vegas supporting David Diaz in his failed confrontation with Manny Pacquiao.
The idol of millions of Mexican fight fans, Vargas was visibly heavier, but the “retired” boxer might be returning to the ring wars as a super middleweight. Who would be the man “Ferocious” would be facing?

Should Margarito Defeat Cotto, Does He Get a Shot at Oscar?

All the Hub-ub in Manny Pacquiao’s surreal world, where boxing crazed Filipino’s across the globe follow his every move, surrounds his proposed fight with Ricky Hatton.
Promoter Bob Arum has said he wants the fight, Ricky Hatton says he wants the fight, and all interested parties are set to make tons of cash on an event which would attract the Manny-Maniacs and Hattonites – two of the most supportive fan bases in current boxing.

One Year Ago Today Bob Arum Questioned July Vegas Fights
What’s Changed Since Then?
Author: John Chavez 7/3/2008
Bob Arum Quote on Bernard Hopkins vs. Winky Wright taking place at the Mandalay Bay in July of 2007.
“That fight makes no sense in Las Vegas in the middle of the summer when the temperature outside will be well over 100 degrees,” Arum says. “That’s an East Coast fight all the way. You can’t just put a fight in Vegas and think it’ll fly. If I did Cotto-Judah in the Staples Center in Los Angeles, I wouldn’t have nearly the result I’m having in Madison Square Garden.

Filipino World Champion Needs To Go Pick On Someone His Own Size
Author: Ricardo Lois 7/3/2008
It sickens me to see the lengths fighters will go to in order to try and make a high profile fight for themselves.
After shedding his former promoter and signing with Top Rank, there have been rumblings and mumblings that IBF flyweight champion Nonito Donaire is looking to pick a fight with WBO junior flyweight king Ivan Calderon.
Easy there Nonito, you need to go pick a fight with someone your own size. What is next? Will Donaire look to fight horse jockeys in unsanctioned freak shows so.......Read Whole Article!
Es ist Mittwoch und ausnahmsweise sind unsere Podcaster Rich und Jörg einmal pünktlich um wie jede Woche euch mit den Kämpfen des vergangenen und kommenden Wochenendes zu unterhalten.
Diesmal dabei ist der finale Aufstieg Manny Pacquiaos zum weltweit besten Boxer nach seinem klaren Sieg gegen David Diaz sowie die Vorschau auf den RĂĽckkampf zwischen WBA Weltmeister Felix Sturm und seinem amerikanischen Herausforderer Randy Griffin, der letzten Oktober dem Deutschen ein Unentschieden abringen konnte. Es gibt zudem auch die Wiederauflage von Kendall Holt gegen Ricardo Torres zu besprechen. Kann Torres auch in den USA gegen den technisch versierten Holt bestehen, nachdem er im ersten Kampf einen eher fragwĂĽrdigen Sieg in seiner Heimat Kolumbien zugesprochen bekam?
Wie immer gesellen sich zu den bereits angesprochenen Themen Aktuelles aus der Welt des Boxsports gegen Ende der Sendung.
Möchtet Ihr Kritik oder einfach einen Kommentar zur aktuellen Sendung beziehungsweise zum Boxsport im Allgemeinen loswerden, dann schreibt einfach eine Mail an richardlimmer@gmail.com.
Shades of Pacquiao-Diaz in Cotto-Margarito Showdown?
It’s the Speed Factor
Author: John Chavez 7/1/2008
Ask some of your fellow boxing fanatics as to who they might deem as being the fastest or quickest active fighter today. Most will recite the following names in no such particular order:
Manny Pacquiao
Joan Guzman
Gerald Nobles
Shane Mosley
Zab Judah
Nicolai Valuev
While the majority of the list is obviously standard when it comes to the speedsters in boxing today, a certain fellow by the name of Miguel Cotto generally tends to fall just short when it comes to being described as “fast”. If th.......Read Whole Article!

Author: Michael Marley 7/1/2008
There seems to be a split decision in the Manny Pacquaio camp. As previously noted, Pacman and trainer Coach Freddie Roach are calling for Ricky Hatton as the Pinoy idol’s November foe but promoter Bob Arum is said to be dead set on Venezuelan KO artist
Edwin Valero.
Meanwhile, IBF junior welterweight champ Paulie Malignaggi, who had a cast taken off his oft surgically repaired right hand Tuesday, told his handler Lou DiBella he cannot wait to start training to pin Hatton’s ears back.

To former world champion Roger “Black Mamba” Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao is “a good champion.” To hear Floyd Mayweather Junior’s uncle tell it, Pacman is not the best fighter in the world pound for pound and he also might get thrown around the ring like a rag doll by Ricky Hatton.
