Bernard and Winky..Let's get it on
Well, as predicted Mayweather won exactly as most of us thought he would, scratching out a decision because he was quicker. If ANYONE thought DeLaHoya won that fight, explain it to me. And to further re-iterate, what a BORING fight.
I enjoyed the fight but Oscar and Floyd were way too conservative. let's move on to two guys who will throw down.
Bernard and Winky...
Now this is one fight where I will definetely take a look at the dog. I was all over the Grim Reaper last fight out that cashed easily for us as a 2.8:1 dog. This is the fight I'm really excited about in 07 as I'm a huge Grim reaper fan.
Again, the contrast in styled is very interesting. I can't wait to see this fight. Your going to get a very long write up from me on this one when they throw down. Let's hope we get more action and heart out of these two fighters.
have a great day.
There is no early lean. I already know who I"m backing and why. Just waiting on a line to come out and to make sure TC (Training Camp) goes as planned.
Here's a list of upcoming fights///I'm really looking forward to the Shannon Briggs fight and the Judah/Cotto but I won't buy that one.
Tell ya what BP..if the Fish are in town why don't we plan on the BHop fight as our weekend of fishin, golfin, cohiban, and frivolity?
