Boxing 4/22 - 4/24

[Ghost Kid]

I have NO BET on the big HBO fight as of yet, but I do understand those of you leaning Arreola.

Adamek apparently looked very bad against Estrada (I have not viewed the fight yet).

But I do think that Adamek has proven himself time and time again - I can't see this guy going down easy.

I think he will come better prepared for this fight - but I don't know if he can overcome to power of the Mexican fighter.

Arreola's weight - probably will be very high but it seems this is just the way its gonna be with this guy.
:shrug:

Mailbag: Berto?s mistake
http://sports.yahoo.com/box/news?slug=ki-boxmailbag042010

"On Monday morning, Berto wrote the following on Twitter: ?R.I.P to Edwin Valero after killing his wife yesterday he just killed himself in jail today. WOW women are a [expletive] boy RIP E.V.?

WHAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????

Andre Berto = Moron of the Year
What a ridiculously ill-informed, horribly timed opinion

Andre, shut your mouth and keep punching

response to Berto from a fan:

"No problem. I would just reply:

"R.I.P. all the people that died in Haiti. God just doesn't like us, earthquakes are a motherfucker boy.... "

then wait for Berto's response."

:scared :scared :scared :scared :scared

I wonder if Berto realizes, truly, how stupid his statement was. Just so ignorant.

another response:

"Generally when you make public statements sympathizing with a wife murderer, and use coded language to imply that the woman was to in some way to blame, well, that's not really overblown. This is especially true if said woman is the mother of the murderer's children.

Nobody is saying a professional fighter has to be a genius, but Jesus, that's mind numbingly retarded."

Arreola and Adamek plan to showcase skill in showdown

Weights: Chris Arreola 250.5, Tomasz Adamek 217

Arreola came on the scale and weighed-in at 250.5-pounds, 13-pounds less than he weighed for the December fight with Brian Minto, and his lowest weight since June 2008 when he weighed 239-pounds and knocked out Chazz Witherspoon. Arreola's body looked slimmer, and with more definition. Adamek, the former light heavyweight and cruiserweight champion, looked very trim at 217-pounds. HBO will televise their fight.

 

[Ghost Kid]

Well I haven't seen photos yet, but so much for Arreola weighing 240

I would have bet money they were lying about that.
They are so thrilled with him being 250, which is pretty sad.

I mean, this guy shouldn't be anywhere near 250 if he is taking the sport seriously.

He really can punch...maybe this is a good style matchup for him...but I do think Adamek is gonna make this a battle.

As I think about this more, I think this fight is going to be a KO either way.

 

[THE_THONG]

i think arreola will take it, but i will root for adamek

i dont like fatties lol

odds are out

I am listening the MAIN EVENT radio show
Steve Kim does it each week on maxboxing.com
good stuff

pretty funny interview with Nick Charles (hope Nick gets healthy soon - a great guy)
They are talking about the Shobox card last week, and Charles says he was interviewing Raul Pinzon's corner in the pre-fight meetings for the Shawn Porter-Pinzon fight. And Pinzon's people tell the commentators
"he doesn't train hard and he can't take body shots. Our guy is getting KO'ed"
:mj07: :mj07: :mj07: :mj07: :mj07:

And then Nick Charles says:
"what can you do? Porter didn't want to fight anybody"
OH SNAP !
LOL

Shawn Porter getting called out - that's great shit.
