Winky vs. Sugar

[moedrabowsky]

Guys,

My phone is out -- again -- because it's raining down here, so I probably won't be on after the fight to compare scorecards.

I can only get on at work, and may come in Sunday to converse, unless by some miracle my stupid phone line gets fixed.

Anyway, enjoy the fight. It should be a good one.

(And I think Joe Mesi gets exposed, tonight, as well).

Hopefully things will get fixed for you in time. If not, I'll be here tomorrow an we'll chat then!

[moedrabowsky]

Sounds like a plan, man.

I think not.....still undefeated.

Interesting there is no boxing fans here. Shane got his ass kicked. Should have learned from the two Forrest fights. That was probably a 20 million dollar loss tonight.

I'm a fight fan but no one was really around so I decided to tape the fights and watch them later.

Undefeated or not, I think so. I gave him every round from 1-8 on my card, and I had him winning the fight. He's also refreshingly honest about his performances.

Two things:

1) Despite beating Jirov soundly for eight rounds, Mesi could not put him away; and

2) Mesi almost got knocked out in the last round against basically a cruiserweight. For some reason, Jirov didn't get off his left early in the fight. Mesi can be hit, and he can't take much of a punch.

I was impressed with him until the 9th, when all the suspect things about his game ame into sharp focus. He has a long way to go before he is ready to challenge the big dogs of the division.

On Wright-Moseley:

I thought Wright would win coming in, but I was surprised at how one-sided it was, and surprised at how much Moseley looks like a shell of his former self.

Wright dominated him, and I don't see how any thing would change significantly to warrant a rematch. But then again, Moseley didn't look ready to mess with Trinadad, and he wants no part of Hopkins, if he's smart.
