Judah came in at 143 this morning, Matthysse at 147. There’s concern that Judah may have overtrained, but I wouldn’t be concerned about that. He’s not a big guy at all.

"Baseball is played on the field, not on a calculator."

And here we all thought elections were important.
Good ol’ boy Dickie’s son Laurence, arguably one of the worst referees under the sun, gets the nod. Not that it was unexpected.
Say what they want about Manny....
There has never been a fighter since Ali, certainly not a little man, that has his presence in the braoder culture. It certainly helps that the ‘world is flatter’ so to speak and that globalization lends itself to a Filipino establishing this kind of presence but Kudos to Manny.
He is a distinguished character.
And as dynamic a force to have ever entered the Ring.
