Yea so far, almost every is picking the same winner. The only differences that will come, will be the ko's.
01/21 - Lucas Matthysse vs. DeMarcus Corley - Matthyse TKO 01/22 - Stephane Jamoye vs Jamie McDonnell - McDonnell UD 01/22 - Evander Holyfield vs. Sherman Williams - Holyfield UD 01/22 - Jonathan Oquendo vs. Cuauhtemoc Vargas - Oquendo TKO 01/22 - Steve Cunningham vs. Enad Licina - Cunningham UD 01/22 - Sebastian Sylvester vs. Mehdi Bouadla - Sylvester TKO
Ya, it will probably take until the end of the month if not a bit longer to actually seperate into actual rankings. Hopefully, by then, I am not at the bottom of the pile anymore
Guys, it aint gonna happen. Lets see if this makes sense. One league was here first, and does about the same amount of actual volume (the lounge ones thread is actually combined with the radio thread, AND is a sticky, and yet if you actually look at the actual length of time its been up, (since 12/ of 2008 ) it doesnt produce the amount of views (105k for over the last two years, we had 90 something k last year alone) that ours does. And the amount of posts within that time is marginally better considering it is also the radio thread as well. One leagues members have been asking for years (as long as the other ones even been in existence) for it to get stickied.... without so much as a response. And what is the result? They sticky theirs in the general forum too Its a bit rigged in all honesty. lol. Let be real about that. I dont make a big deal about it because, well, its not a big deal. But at the same time, it is what it is. That being said, They have a nice league, no doubt. I admire the work they do over there, and I like Rummy, and got nothing but respect for their operation. I think its a good league. But we are two very different leagues, with two very different systems and histories. It would be nice if his and mine could co-exist equally on fair terms and be the double headed dragon for ESB so to speak. I think both our leagues represent the site well, and actually benefit the site (both of our leagues threads, his, and mine from 2010 and 2009, are some of the highest viewed threads in esb history) But it aint happening Its no biggie though.
Heres to hoping that the pascal fight wasnt his last hurrah (always seems like we are saying that lol, from tarver, to pavlik, to pascal.... ) He says he wants Bute, that would be a very interesting fight. Hope it gets made if Hopkins can beat Pascal in the rematch.
1/10 Update - Mike Mollos vs Jason Gavern fight taken off. Jason isnt fighting and Mike is listed vs someone else.

While I have trained here before when I fought out of the Cory Spinks camp, for my last two fights my promoter, Don King, allowed me to live in the home where Mike Tyson lived when he trained in Vegas. I love it. It gives me inspiration to know I’m sleeping in the same bed “Iron” Mike slept in when he trained here. Training Regimen: My trainer, Kevin Cunningham, took me up to the mountains outside Las Vegas last year to a little ski resort at the top of Mt. Charleston to run. I call it ‘The Monster’ and its one of my biggest challenges while training. I have to face and conquer it three times a week, and with snow on the ground now, it has become much tougher. Every day, we go out for a six-mile run in the morning, and then head to the gym in the afternoon. My workouts include shadow boxing, mitt work, heavy bag, speed bag, sparring and jumping rope. I average 30 rounds per day in the gym, Monday through Saturday. And on the seventh day, I rest. Diet: Basically as far as meat, I only eat salmon, tilapia, turkey breast and chicken breast. The rest of it is fruits and vegetables. It’s just fuel for me. I want to eat what will make me perform best. Personal sacrifice: Eating light is not my only sacrifice during this training camp. Due to this fight being in January, I’ve had to give up the holidays with my friends and family back in St. Louis, which is hard. My kids will wake up on Christmas day without dad being there. I was in the gym on Christmas. Come January 29, that’s something else that Tim Bradley is going to have to pay for. I think about that every day. BRADLEY Camp Notes This content is protected Camp Location: I am back in Indio, Calif., where all of my camps have taken place. I have never found the need to go anywhere else as my family is not a distraction and does not get in the way of how my camp goes. My family is what keeps me strong. If I had to go somewhere else, I would not be able to focus the way I do because I would be worrying about them. Training regiment: My training is Monday through Saturday and consists of running 45 minutes daily, sparring a few times during the week, strength training twice a week, and most of all doing my best to execute the plan. Diet: My diet consists of grains, vegetables, and my protein sources come from tofu, tempeh, beans and nuts. Turning vegetarian for every training camp is nothing new for me. In fact, it is something that has worked for me for the past two years. Other fighters are even trying this now, so this just puts me ahead of the game. Personal Sacrifice: This year did not feel much like Christmas because I am so focused for January 29th. I don't really consider it a personal sacrifice because this is my job. I know what I have ahead of me. But my personality was not in the Christmas spirit like every other year and know that I had to set mind up for this. But even though this was the first Christmas I had to work, the real gift will be coming on Jan. 29th. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This content is protected
