Tomasz Adamek defeats Chris “The Nightmare” Arreola

It was an explosive atmosphere at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, CA for Saturday night’s main event between Chris “The Nightmare” Arreola, 28-2 (25) and Tomasz Adamek, 41-1 (27). This is the way it would and should be if the heavyweights weren’t considered dead in the United States; raucous action between two giant male humans, a nationalistic set of crowds representing Adamek’s Poland and Arreola’s Mexican-American contingent. Hell of a fight night, folks. The action was all Adamek beating Arreola to the punch in the opening rounds but, toward the middle of the battle, Arreola began to ramp up his violence and started landing heavyweight thunder to Adamek’s former light heavy and cruiserweight lightning. Down the stretch, it was Adamek’s fight to lose on the cards, but anyone’s game in the ring as both men were tired, hungry and landing heavy leather. In the end, however, it was Adamek scoring the win, taking a majority decision with scores of 114-114 (ridiculous), 115-113, and 117-111.

This was the best Heavyweight fight I have seen in a long time. But then again, I can’t even remember the last Heavyweight fight I watched.

Arreola showed a lot of heart in fighting on with what appeared to be a broken hand. Very Arturo Gattiesque.

He also was very gracious in defeat with a very cuss filled post fight interview.

“I hurt my hand in the fifth round but I kept going,” said Arreola. “I hurt it again in the ninth and the tenth real bad. He’s got a hard f**king head. He hit me so hard, I look like f**king ‘Shrek’ now.”

In the undercard, Alfredo Angulo kept up a steady attack against the faster Joel Julio. Julio has the reputation of being a big puncher too, but he never gave himself the chance, because he wouldn’t set himself. Angulo proved that one way to deal with speed is to throw short straight punches, and to keep letting your hands go. As a result, Angulo continually landed the sharper, more damaging blows.

In the eleventh round, Angulo dipped in and to his left. At the same time he let go of his right which went right over the top of Julio’s pawing left. Bang! Flush on the jaw was the impact of the punch, and Julio went down with a thud. He managed to beat the count, but the referee correctly waived off any further action and saved Julio from further punishment. So the fighter with the dog collar earned himself a spectacular victory and the interim WBO light middleweight title.

Amanda Gatti in Ed Hardy

Is any one surprised that Amanda Gatti would leave jail dressed in the worst clothing company ever?

Game tip #4509: Avoid all girls in Ed Hardy.

If anyone watched that HBO show on the deaths of Arguello, Gatti and Forrest, you could tell that Brazilian Police investigator was mad fishy.

Floyd Mayweather’s Defense Explained

Floyd Mayweather’s Defense Explained

(Here is my Facebook, New Twitter and The G Manifesto Facebook Page)

Here is a good video that explains Floyd Mayweather’s Defense. He shows how he counters the jab and the left hook.

Rhythm and tempo, although rarely talked about are some of the keys to Mayweather’s effectiveness as well as his unpredictability.

His style also relies on Relaxation and Conserving Energy.

These are all aspects one should use in Swooping Fly Girls.

Check it:

In This Corner with Floyd Mayweather

Many think that Floyd’s style is something new. It’s not.

Check out the late, great Argentinian Nicolino Locche. He was Floyd before Floyd was Floyd. Amazing.

I don’t have to add that Nicolino Locche was also a chain smoker/International Playboy. But we already knew that all great athlete’s were smokers.

Floyd “Money” Mayweather VS Sugar Shane Mosley 24/7

Floyd “Money” Mayweather VS Sugar Shane Mosley 24/7

Click Here 007 Lifestyle – Living Like James Bond!

(Here is my Facebook, New Twitter and The G Manifesto Facebook Page)

I have said it before, that when it comes to Television, I really can’t keep down my steak tartare, unless that Bourdain Show is on or HBO’s 24/7.

So far, Mayweather has been lighting up the trash talk:

On Sugar Shane: I’m doing Shane Mosley a favor. I’m letting him share the ring with greatness. The kid’s so desperate.

The kid has no class, no style at all.

Mosley says I only fight for money. You F*cking dummy. I’m a prize fighter. That’s what I am supposed to fight for. A prize.

and

Like I said before, how the fuck I wanna be like you Shane Mosley when everybody in the fight game wanna be The Uno. Kid got a Jheri Curl man. Come on man, its 2010. The kid must’ve woke up in that hot tub time machine.

Floyd Mayweather, a Master of Mental Warfare already seems to be getting to Sugar Shane.

Still, Mosley has a good shot at this one (my comments in bold) as the article below states:

“1. If you look at the names on Mayweather’s record, none of them would have been favored over Mosley. Mayweather decisioned fighters like Carlos Baldomir, Diego Corrales, Zab Judah and Juan Manuel Marquez. Mosley would have decapitated all of the above with relative ease.

Decent Point, however Diego Corrales was thought unbeatable at 130 before Floyd dismantled him, and Marquez was even with Pac-Man before Floyd proved otherwise.

2. Floyd Mayweather has never fought anyone who hits as hard as Shane Mosley. While Oscar DeLaHoya’s left hook is comparable to any shot Mosley throws, the Sugar Man’s arsenal is far more varied and dynamic than the Golden Boy’s. Mosley throws every shot with knockout power and can hurt Mayweather badly if he catches him. As Mosley’s trainer Nazim Richardson stated, “Mosley can KO anything that weighs 147lb, including pacquaio, mayweather, and even farm animals.”

Legit point.

3. Mosley is just as fast as Mayweather. While Mayweather is sneakier with his shots and probably has better timing, Mosley can deliver rapid fire punches with incredible accuracy. When fighting slick southpaw Louis Collazo, Mosley out crafted the slippery New Yorker from the outside with pin point punching and blazing hand speed.

They both are quicksilver fast. We will only know who is faster once they step into the ring.

4. While Mayweather always enters the ring in incredible shape, his punch output at 147lbs has dropped dramatically. Mayweather no longer punches in combination and is content to pot shot from the outside. This will not work against a fighter as busy as Shane. Mosley is a non stop punching machine who fights every minute of every round. While Mayweather may be able to out slick Mosley for parts of the bout, he will be forced at some point to fighting with the marauding Californian. And when he does, Shane will not let him off the hook easily.

Mayweather’s in the trenches fighting is very underrated. He also knows how to get away with every dirty trick in the book.

5. This is Mayweather’s first real challenge at welterweight. While Zab Judah, Sharmba Mitchell and Carlos Baldomir were pretty good, none come close to Shane Mosley. At 147, Mosley has fought and beat the very best with the exception of Vernon Forrest (a very, very underrated fighter who would have also given Mayweather serious problems) and a prime Miguel Cotto (and many people believe Mosley won that fight). Mayweather is untested at the weight, and for his first serious bout, Mosley is a very tall order.

People somehow forget that Shane was taxed twice by Winky Wright. And the late, great Vernon Forrest was never underrated.

A lot of people hate Mayweather, however he has learned the key to making big fights: Have half the people love you and half the people hate you.

Sonny Liston once said, “A boxing match is like a cowboy movie. There’s got to be good guys and there’s got to be bad guys. And that’s what people pay for – to see the bad guys get beat.”

Since Decemeber, I have been more serious about Boxing since when I was a kid boxing Golden Gloves. Working out seven days a week and sparring three times a week. The thing I can say is that stepping in the ring again has made me appreciate Mayweather’s style more than ever.

Land and make your opponent miss.

Click Here to buy Crush It!: Why NOW Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion

Lately, I have been just slipping, sliding, gliding, lowriding and realizing.

When I wrote Orange County’s Top Bachelor, it reminded me on how many of these media “hype machine” created “players” I have defeated over the years.

Musicians, Actors, and Athletes have not been spared. I have named some names (re-read The G Manifesto) but for me to rip the lid off, a publisher has got to come at me like they came at Gary Vaynerchuk. 7 figs min.

Hell, with all the noteworthy scalps I have, I was mildly shocked that Time Magazine didn’t ring me up for Person of The Year, instead of Ben Bernanke.

Maybe they don’t have my cell (I do change numbers very frequently, and I am thinking seriously of ditching cell phones all together).

But that’s neither seared foie gras on the menu or a fly Nightlife Princess to attend to.

To kick it real, I have probably done more good for the economy than Bernanke. I have dropped heavy dough this year on fast living, fast women and umm, fast women. The rest I just squandered.

The more that I think about it though, I have been spending CASH in “emerging markets”; that is on swooping fly foreign girls.

So, even though Bernake is setting us up for even worst economic failure. I guess he can have the award.

Because, it’s like that, you know it’s like that, I got at him, now you never get your girl back.

All jokes aside, Manny Pacquiao should have won “Person of The Year”.
