The clip below is the Promo for the big fight this weekend between Joe "the Welsh Dragon" Calzaghe and Mikkel "The Ghost" Kessler. I found it while reading the very promissing Bad Left Hook blog, which is the lone boxing blog in the SBNation. Sports Blog nation is a collective of blogs including Every Day Should be Saturday and DawgSports.
The guys at Bad Left Hook had this to say about the gravity of this fight
There is not a more important, more necessary fight on the schedule, and I count Cotto-Mosley and Mayweather-Hatton in that statement. This one will prove, definitively, who the best is in this weight class. It's been Calzaghe for a long time. Mikkel Kessler could go one of two ways against Joe: He could be the dragon slayer, or he could just be another Jeff Lacy.
They are using the words "important" and "necessary" the way I used the word "meaningful", and therfore I heartedly agree.
I also mentioned a while back that I hate Floyd´s propensity for blather. When I wrote that I felt like I should give him credit for speaking more plainly than some others, like Vivian Harris, but now I am not so sure. Vivian presumably speaks English as a second language, and took a few beatings for having a woman´s name. Meanwhile, Floyd remains the kind of guy who gives himself a nickname. Check out his latest incomprehensible inanity here, as he responds to a question about his experience on Dancing with The Stars.
People were nice. And actually, I was the only one on the show that was the best at what he do because I don't really know the race car driver, but he's not the best race car driver. Some of the people were actresses weren't the best. And you had like Mark Cuban, he's not the richest billionaire. So, I was the best at what I do. Obviously, I'm in the sport of boxing and what I do.
There is something depraved about multi millionaires who speak like twelve-year-olds. Makes me sad. And not just in the "that moron is rich and I ain´t" sort of way either. Somewhere along the line he made a choice to behave like amoron, and everybody around him either encouraged him or bit their lip.
BAH!
