A Tough Road Block

Remember when champions used to fight the best?
 Saturday July 26, 2013 on Showtime Middleweight Champion Peter Quillin is fighting Gabriel Rosado.  It's going to be an exciting fight between two hungry ass middleweights. Peter Quillin has been claiming to be the best Middleweight in the world, and most believe Quillin is barking and snarling really loud because the chain link fence of the HBO/SHOWTIME/Golden Boy Feud is keeping him safe from the bite of the vicious Golovkin.  But who knows he might be the bestmiddleweight and thanks to that petty feud we wont see that fight anytime soon.

     Rosado is that guy written from hollywood scripts.  A Philly thug who got here by getting beat up by tough dudes and fucking up tougher dudes. His ticket to this spot was his heart and fists.  Shiet, one of his unique carreer accomplishments is standing toe to toe with Golovkin, and being the only man in recent memory to not get knocked the fuck out by the Great puncher. The fight ending by a white towel from Gabe's corner as  Rosado stood bloody on his feet willing to fight some more.

  Meanwhile, Quillin has had a safer road here.  He has earned his title taking a carefully paved road that stiffened with every fight.  This Rosado  fight is the perfect road block for the champ to test his spot among the top Middleweights.

The bookies have Quillin as a 6 to 1 favorite over Rosado.  In my opinion they are generous odds.  My money is on Gabe.

Steel Balls and Fist of Stones

My post last week didnt go through if you read it ignore the post date. Those thoughts were of last week.
But what a fight!  Both Alvarado and Russlan fought their heart out. 
Russlan is the real deal.  He hit and got hit, and his hits look like they hurt.  Pessimist will say he will be out boxed.   To them  I say "fuck you and go watch a Rigo fight".
Only Warriors with balls of steel fight like that. Fighters like Pacman, Matthysse, Flash, Rios, Gatti, Ward and more.
It's an attitude, "No one could fuck me up  I'm going to knock this mother fucker out",  that makes these fighters memorable and a privilege to watch.
Some fighters bring doubt to a fight or the dreaded pillow fist.  I do Admire their skill, but I pay to watch those no fear stoned fisted motherfuckas.

Boxing
