Oh, one more post lol. Foh shythead. You're sorry as is the video king of researching fights. I found that out a while back. You have video and artical ROTE memory. I was watching then. Anyway, this whole thread has become a wash, and the jig is up on you Loudon lol. You tried Bailey. You tried! Dinamita or whatever your name is, the jig is up!:good:rofl
I was only playing around, trying my hand at trolling. It's quite fun, I can see why people do it. But on a serious note, don't leave the thread. I'm enjoying yours and everyone's posts. :good
You are from Atlanta right? Did you get to see any Vernon Forrest fights live? Edit: I just checked and it looks like he didn't fight there at all as a pro.:huh
:rofl I was going to write an elaborate piece on how I believed that Vinnie Paz could possibly have moved up to 175 and caught him.
Don't go mate, I just got bored waiting until the serious posts started to come back in. Honestly, the more I think about it, the more I envisage Roy making Kov hesitant to come forward. I'm not comparing Ruiz to Kov, but Roy said he had to catch Ruiz early to gain his respect. I think that if he'd have caught Kov early with something big, it definitely could have made him cautious.
Though I will say, Montell's high squeaky voice whining about the stoppage, I wished Dariusz would come punch him again. Then he would have been DQed and we would have seen Jones-Griffin III in Pensacola for the lineal title?:think
Nope never saw him fight live :-( he trained right down the street from me in Midtown for a while I did go and watch him train a few times. Cedric Boswell (was a Heavyweight contender at one time) also trained there. Vernon was as nice a guy as it gets and did a TON of charity work in the city. I was so sad the day I woke up and saw that he had been killed. Just awful. Atlanta surprisingly doesn't have much of a fight history at all. We had the Ali-Quarry fight in 1970 just because no other state would sanction Ali to fight it was mainly for publicity. I have been to Holyfield-Cooper and Holyfield-Bean. We had ESPN here years ago for a Friday Night Fights Layla Ali was the main event and I got to see Teddy Atlas go ballistic on one of the commission members because some guy in the walk out bouts got brutally KOed and there was no ambulance on site :roflatsch Georgia pretty much has an awful non-existant commission now could be much better has we have several venues for fights and plenty of places to stay and entertainment for a weekend. They bid for a Mayweather fight a while back but he isn't going to fight anywhere but at home in Vegas.
Yeah, I always had a ton of respect for Forrest, class act.. I was heartbroken when I found out someone killed him. That is still cool you got to see him train though. Thats awesome you got to see those Holyfield fights! I never really thought about Atlanta not being a boxing city. I was in Tennessee and thought hard on driving over to Memphis for Johnson-Jones.. I am glad I didn't though.:good
lol What about this one that's supposed to be one of his favourite snacks? 'Fool's Gold Loaf is a sandwich made by the Colorado Mine Company, a restaurant in Denver, Colorado. The sandwich consists of a single warmed, hollowed-out loaf of bread filled with the contents of one jar of creamy peanut butter, one jar of gr@pe jelly, and a pound of bacon. The sandwich's connection to Elvis Presley is the source of its legend and prolonged interest. According to The Life and Cuisine of Elvis Presley, it was the focus of a midnight sandwich run by Elvis Presley and his friends. Taking his private jet from Graceland, Presley and his friends purchased 22 of the sandwiches and spent three hours eating the sandwiches and drinking Perrier and champagne before flying home. The story became legend and the sandwich became the subject of continued media interest and part of numerous cookbooks, typically focused around Presley's love of food' The Fool's Gold Recipe is "surprisingly tasty" and notes that it contains around 8,000 calories :yikes
