Tomato Can

It took Lamon Brewster 53 seconds to KO Andrew Golota, who wilts every time he has to fight anybody you might conceivably have heard of. My total lack of interest in this fight seems to have been justified.

Wink Wink

Hopkins picked Tito, but Tito only managed to take one round on the scorecards. Knockouts are overrated. Wright vs. Hopkins should happen sooner rather than later so that nobody can complain about having gotten too old, etc.; old-guard vs. new jack, an occasionally overworked trope, regains all momentum when the old guard hasn't lost a fight for ten years.

You're Fired

Manny Pacquiao fires his promoter. Probably there's a decidedly unromantic truth lurking somewhere behind this (i.e., does Pacquiao, an extraordinarily popular fighter for his weight class, really not already have another promoter waiting in the wings?), but for the moment the Mus Mus Tail twitches happily in response. A fighter issues his own press release to complain that he's not getting enough fights? A boxer who actually likes to box, wants work, and is willing to take up the reins himself to get it? Honest? Go, Pac-Man, you people's champion, you. We like your style.
