Champs Corner

By Ron "Champ" Miller

12.02 - Hello fight fans!!!!

This is the second part of my column. You see, I forgot to mention a few things last week. This always seems to happen. Here goes.

I forgot to mention Kostya Tszyu fight. Or lack of. Perhaps there was a reason I forgot. It sucked. Jesse James Leija is old and shot. Don't believe that he is a "solid" fighter. That is just hype. JJ was getting off on Zoo, until he quit. JJ did pretty well for himself, if he only had power. The right was getting through, as usual.Perhaps all you need to beat zoo is a big right hand and a good chin. Zoo looked old and slow. His fans will say he was "warming up", and such. I don't believe it. The zoo man is done. Why continue to fight?

Unless he is fighting Zab Judah, I don't wanna hear it. I could care less about Arturo Gatti. He is a human punching bag, who is 1-1 against another scrub, Micky Ward. Both get press because they are white. If they were Hispanic, Puerto Rican or Black, you would never hear about them. Emanuel Burton is the "black" version of Gatti and Ward. If I wanna see two blokes beating the crap out of each other, I will go down to my local pub on a Saturday night. Both men will have brain damage soon. Both will be sipping their soup out of a straw. Both should retire.

I also forgot to mention how Joel Casamayor looked. He looked old and slow. Perhaps he is slowing down. Or perhaps Nate Campbell isn't as bad as we thought. Acelino Freitas should just rematch with Casa now, while Casa looks this bad. Casa has had alot of amateur and pro fights. Perhaps it is catching up to him. However Freitas for some reason "fears" Joel, not wanting to give him a rematch. Popo knows he lost that first fight, but thanks to Joe Cortez he pulled it out. Barely. Joel even agreed to go to Brazil, for pete's sake. Perhaps NOW Acelino will give him a rematch.

Speaking of Acelino, Showtime cancelled his fight with Gabe Ruelas calling it a mismatch. But he is now fighting Juan Carlos Ramirez a little better, but not by much. Popo needs to fight Joel..NOW

Boy, Shane Mosley looks stupid now. Not taking the 4.25 mil. and now he gets a no contest against a guy who is way past his prime and an HBO announcer too boot. Raul Marquez is done. Mosley should have stayed at 147. He is not big enough at this weight. He has not won in almost two years now. I guess Bob Arum is laughing now. Look for Bob to play hardball now. Way to go Shane!! Fernandomania(Fernando Vargas) anyone?

Antonio Margarito looked great, but we all know Andrew Lewis has no chin. So no surprise here. But Lewis did look good in the first couple of rounds, before getting caught. Margarito should try to fight Ricardo Mayorga next. But looks like Mayorga will rematch with Vernon Forrest.

Boxing forums...Anyone post at these sites? This is where you can find "groupies, huggers, fans, haters, bashers", etc. These posters, think they know more that God himself. Tough guys,media wanna-be's, "historians", and trash talkers rule these sites. So called "experts" rule the day. It's pretty pathetic. You know the type. They watch a bunch of boxing matches and look up facts on the internet and are "experts". Anyone can do this. And dont try to argue with these types. They know it all. No respect what so ever for anyone, including themselves. They know more than the boxing historians and boxing commentators, media etc. If this was so, they would be on TV, radio, etc. These people have like 5000 posts to their name. This is their claim to fame. I say they have no life. They stalk boxers, managers, trainers etc claiming to be an "insider". These guys wil argue with you, calling you names, along with personal attacks. Boxing forums...LOL..Do yourself a favor. Avoid these traps like the plague.

Champs flurries: Sorry to hear about Freddie Norwood. I'm really looking forward to Lou Saverese vs Kirk Johnson. One question. WHY? Tim Austin-Rafael Marquez should be a good match this weekend while Ricardo Williams takes on Juan Carlos Rubio(guy who beat Panchito Bojado). Could Rubio be the prospect killer. Anthony Mundine(Bumdine) blows. Sean Sullivan sucks. This rugby "star" will get blown out by Antoine Echols. I dont think the "mouth" can beat Danny Green. Ricky Hatton vs Vince Phillips? Well Cool Vince is old and shot, but he is a live dog against Casper. The Euro circuit won't save you know, Ricky boy!!!! Roy Jones vs John Ruiz(Louise)...still on..for now....Will Jones stop Ruiz with a body shot? Nah, ole Roy will get knocked out, I have no doubt, ya'all musta forgot!!!

Well thats it fight fans!!! Keep your hands up and keep punching for the stars!!!!!! 0 comments
