first and foremost,let me start out by congratulatiing almly....i know he had a sh-tpot load of dough on byrd....i can`t remember being happier to see a bad decision.....a gift,my man....but great timing for a gift....i was seriously happy for you when i heard the decision...i had byrd by decision also,along with brewer barr under 6.5(in an earlier thread) and garcia -149 over wells(don`t think it`s posted,lost my phone service for the past 5 days)....but,mainly,i`m really glad you got this one....congrats....
well,was witout phone service for about 5 days(prior to the hurricane).....just got it back....some huge pine trees on my property survived the storm miraculously......one that was leaning and could have caused a problem.....a very scary situation....just happy it`s over....
on the fights....well,another strange decision.....this time the boxer gets the decision and the harder more damaging punches counted for little......imo,a gift.....ridiculous...
that`s 1 bad and one ridiculous decision in the last 2 big fights(again,imo) ...i feel like a g-damned thief.....
but,i`ll take it
boxing is in trouble,though....this crap is really stretching boxing`s credibility.....it`s becoming wrassling-esque.....it really saddens me ....
i`ve been a huge boxing fan since i was a pup during the days of the matthew saad muhammad,bobby chacon,ruben olivares,salvador sanchez,wilfredo gomez,carlos monzon,benvenuti, and on and on....i was a baby watching the friday night fights with my father watching floyd patterson,benny the kid paret,carmen basilio,gene fulmer(although i was very very young,i do remember some of it).....
but,i`ve never seen boxing in this kind of shape,rife with politics,dueling promoters,ridiculous sanctioning bodies,in the pocket judges......
something`s got to give....
people are gonna stop being interested....i hope theres some sort of backlash and some of this crap gets straightened out......i hope....
almly,get wasted,buddy.......i know you earned it...i can`t imagine the hell you went through watching byrd look like s-it,thinking you lost,and then pulling it out....it`s almost to much to take......
