He loves those steaks….

"Boxing is dirty," said Casamayor. " The day I’m not ready to be a dirty fighter is the day I don’t fight anymore because it will mean that I have no heart for it anymore."

Holy bacon ranch burritos, Batman?

What the hell happened to him? I don’t recognize him at all.

"I am going to give him a lesson in good behavior. First, I wanted to knock him out in the first round. But now I want to make it a long process and I want to enjoy it, and then I will knock him out in the 12th round."

Car accident in Panama in the early 00's

left him immobile for a while and he put on a on of weight. He’d probably still be boxing if not for the accident.

I didn't know that...

I remember watching his fights w/ Hearns and Hagler w/ my dad…. at least he is still alive and being able to participate in stuff like this.

George Lucas is a major douche bag... do everyone a favor and forget how to use the internet.

He seems genuinely content, and I don’t just say that because he looks jolly. He always looks like he’s enjoying life when you see him at a fight. Some guys don’t.

I still wouldn’t take him in a street-fight.

Wow.

Just wow. Re-watched Hearns/Duran the other night (both rounds of it). Hard to believe that little 32-year-old with the beard is all grown out.

Although detractors decry (MMA) as a brutal, bloody form of human cockfighting, aficionados know it is a brutal, bloody, totally fucking awesome form of human cockfighting. -The Onion
