ONTARIO, CA-Behind a well-planned attack, Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero pounded the body and floored Andre Berto twice in winning by a wide unanimous decision on Saturday. Next up is Floyd Mayweather if further plans proceed as expected.
"Nobody at 147 pounds can hurt Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero. Nobody," said Richard Schaefer, CEO for Golden Boy Promotions, which promoted the fight. "Whoever doesn't have Guerrero in the top five pound for pound list has something wrong."
Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 Kos) proved his capabilities early on as a welterweight; the beefed up former featherweight looked bigger, taller and stronger in defeating former welterweight world champion Berto (28-2, 22 Kos) before 4,865 fans at the Citizens Business Bank Arena.
The WBC interim titleholder took some shots but proved he was the stronger man against the determined Berto.
Knockdowns in the first two rounds by Guerrero may have startled the crowd and surprised Berto, but from there on the Florida fighter bore down and never quit trying to send the Northern California prizefighter into slumber land.
After a few slow minutes in round one Berto connected with a right hand and quickly Guerrero opened up with his own left cross. Berto's blow seemed to anger Guerrero who then attacked and fired three successive lefts while Berto held on to his right arm. Down went Berto from the blows in staggering fashion as the crowd roared at the surprise knockdown. It was always assumed that Berto was the stronger puncher, not Guerrero, who began his career as a junior featherweight.
"I can punch," said Guerrero. "And I can take a punch."
Guerrero dropped Berto again in round two with left hands as the Floridian attempted to hold. A swelling quickly developed on the right eye of Berto. Guerrero pounded Berto on the ropes excessively and refused to allow Berto to regain momentum.
The fight stayed mainly inside with Berto intent on holding and hitting and Guerrero pounding the body. He never stopped pounding the body. The plan by Guerrero seemed clear that he planned to work Berto's body. In rounds three through five he pounded away on the body with both lefts and rights every opportunity.
"My plan was to fight on the inside," said Guerrero. "I love it on the inside. I love to fight."
The fans could sense the glee in Guerrero's attack and began to shout "Guer-re-ro! Guer-re-ro!"
Berto finally saw his rights connect in round six as he caught Guerrero with some sizzling uppercuts and right counters. Guerrero didn't seem fazed by the blows but they scored and probably gave Berto his first round on the judge's cards.
"He didn't hurt me at all. He caught me with a few shots and punches hard, but I have a great chin," said Guerrero.
A perfect left uppercut by Guerrero hurt Berto in round seven who seemed surprised by the big blows. Guerrero walloped him with some more combinations and it looked bad for Berto. But the Floridian fought back with a vengeance. Both of his eyes were swollen from the hits he absorbed.
Berto rallied in round nine with some vicious right uppercuts that found the mark on Guerrero's chin and face. The Northern Californian's right eye swelled from the shots but both of Berto's eyes were swollen even worse. The crowd began to cheer "Guer-re-ro! Guer-re-ro!"
With two swollen eyes Berto still tried to match Guerrero who continued to pound the body. Berto tried valiantly to land that one good right hand that could change the fight but never could land the punch to turn the fight around in his favor.
In the final round both fought in their usual position along the ropes with Guerrero firing body shots like some kind of punching machine. Berto occasionally tried to flurry with some combinations but Guerrero would flurry with his own combinations. With 30 seconds left in the fight both began to fire killing blows with Guerrero getting the upper hand perhaps because he only had one eye closed instead of two like Berto. The bell rang but Guerrero continued to fire as the crowd roared and made it impossible to hear the final bell. Four blows connected solidly on Berto's chin, then, referee Lou Moret stopped the action through the loud cheers. It was finally over.
"I told Andre I was going to beat him down. I had to keep my word," said Guerrero. "I had to fight him in the inside and work the body. We were on the inside and I was pushing him on the inside to land my punches."
All three judges scored it identically 116-110 for Guerrero who retains the WBC interim welterweight.
"I came back after 14 months and fought Robert Guerrero. At the end of the day he fought a great fight," said Berto.
Is Floyd Mayweather next on the list for Guerrero who is recognized as one of the top fighters pound for pound?
Richard Schaefer, CEO for Golden Boy Promotions, said he will be working on making a Guerrero versus Mayweather fight.
"I don't know how Floyd Mayweather can hurt Guerrero," said Schaefer immediately after the fight. "Guerrero hurt a natural welterweight."
Guerrero agrees that Mayweather cannot hurt him and feels he will dethrone the current pound for pound champion.
"I feel I can't be beat. I'm unstoppable," said Guerrero during the post fight conference. "I'm here, let's do this Floyd."
Other bouts
Florida's Keith Thurman (19-0, 18 Kos) floored former world champion Carlos Quintana (29-4, 23 Kos) with a left hook to the liver in the first round. It was all downhill from there for Thurman who chased the Puerto Rican for three more rounds and finally ended the fight with a barrage of brutal blows. Quintana refused to quit and kept firing but seemed out on his feet. Finally, referee Jack Reiss jumped in to end the fight at 2:19 of round four.
"I give myself a B-plus," said Thurman, who grabs the NABO junior middleweight title with the win. "He had heart."
Quintana said that he is retiring after the loss, but credited Thurman for his talent.
"He's a strong fighter. He has a good future ahead of him," said Quintana of Thurman.
Coachella's Randy "El Matador" Caballero (17-0, 9 Kos) pounded out a third round technical knockout victory at the end of round three against Mexico's iron chinned Rigoberto Casillas (8-9-1, 6 Kos). Caballero was pounding out combinations throughout the first two rounds including a right uppercut that stunned Casillas. In the third round a seven-punch combination wobbled Casillas but he refused to go down. Both exchanged freely but it was Caballero doing much more damage. At the end of the round referee Jack Reiss brought in the ringside physician who conferred with Casilla's corner and the fight was stopped for a technical knockout win by Caballero.
Houston's undefeated Jermell Charlo (19-0, 10 Kos) beat Escondido's Dashon "Flyboy" Johnson by unanimous decision after 10 rounds of a junior middleweight bout. Charlo was busier throughout the fight with his straight punches through Johnson's high guard. Every so often Johnson would erupt with a barrage of punches but it wasn't enough to win the rounds. The judges scored it 100-89, 99-90, 98-91 for Charlo. There were no knockdowns.
Former Olympian Dominic Breazeale (2-0, 2 Kos) started slowly against Tennessee's Michael Bissett (1-1) who landed some good blows early, but that just seemed to wake up the bigger Breazeale. A four-punch combination sent Bissett down midway through the first round. Then another right cross connected to floor Bissett again. Round two saw Bissett look to kill or be killed instead of running. But Breazeale was too accurate and quick and floored the Tennessean twice in round two right rights. Referee David Denkin stopped the contest at 1:17 of round two.
Manny "Chato" Robles (3-0, 2 Kos), a sharp punching featherweight from Paramount, stunned Missael Martinez (0-7) of Los Angeles with a counter right in the opening round. Then a flurry of 30 blows ensued snapping Martinez's head back and forcing referee Jack Reiss to stop the fight at 2:15 of round two.
I mell Joe Watson's Funk here!
The ref was terrible but that ain't the reason why Berto lost. Props to the ghost but he has no chance against Mayweather.
Crow for SRD and his boy SCLA Ali. Y'all KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! And, SRD, you really need to trash that bigger-man syet. Size doesn't matter. The smallest creatures dominates the larger one in all of nature. So "the nature bigger man" doesn't mean a hill of black-eyed peas to those in da know. The sweet science history has a bloody trail of small @$$es whuppin and dominating the BIG one for dat moolah.
The Cali Ghost will whup every big and/or steroid-filled arse to get to Money May and largely paid. Though out by Money May, the Cali Ghost's arse will likely get laid. Money May still ain't no joke. In Sin City, a Cali Ghost's @$$, he'll smoke. Holla!
Agreed, SCLA Ali. The ref should be kicked to the curve and forced to retired from refereeing like the power that be did Joe Cortez. The old doc couldn't move around fast enough to see a lot of the dirty tricks of the Cali Ghost. But that is how a ghost suppose to roll. Berto's corner is at fault. They should've raised sand to the commissioner sitting at ringside letting syet pass him by.
It is just like anything. To get attention and justice, you have to bytch sing. After the bout is finished and done, it's often too late. But Team roids -- I mean Berto -- should file a protest. They just may get another date. Holla!
Guerrero is tough no doubt, he has the physical tools to beat mayweather but he'll have to utilize a different strategy. Mayweather loves it when opponents pressure him on the ropes. If Guerrero uses lateral movement, angles, and his left mayweather is going to have a big challenge. And Guerrero has a lot of stamina so he could get away with smothering mayweather probably. Idk we'd have to see. I think he beats pacquiao though
Berto has a lot of talent and heart but he is one of the dumbest fighters I've ever seen. His chin gets better as the fight goes on but at the beginning he can't take a punch for sh$t. Also his trainer is straight up trash and needs to be replace ASAP!! Berto has zero defense and can only fight in spots. PS Radam you must be a lil man with a little man complex lol!! Its ok u lil guys get lucky sometimes.. But u did pick the ghost sounds like u made some bread off of the fight.
Every hater thinks the latest hype can beat Da Manny. I guess that is just the stanky - I mean Yanky -- way. Da Manny will kayo the Cali Ghost in two rounds or less.
The Cali Ghost should go fight the Cali Cranium Crusher in an interstate bumfest. And see which one of them is the best. The winner then could call out Money May or Da Manny, and get dat hinny sliced and diced.
I believe that both Rios and Broner can beat TCG and the CCC in catchweights or at welterweight. Da double fudge the latest hyped-up syet. Berto has always been a B fighter on PEDs and roids. And TCG is a B-plus. No matter what he's been through. Holla!
Well, I just finished eating my crow sandwich. Guerrero suprised me with how strong and durable he is; he has quite a chin. He turned the boxing match into a "street fight" and Berto couldn't adjust. Why did Berto try to use the "Philly Shell" style of defense? The "Philly Shell" isn't a defense that you can just learn and implement at the last minute, it takes years to perfect it. Berto should have used the traditional orthodox high guard stance. Also, Berto's poor footwork hasn't improved, he didn't know how to weave or spin Guerrero, thus he allowed himself to be pinned on the ropes. Berto makes exciting fights, but is just about a "shot" fighter because of his defensive deficiencies. I don't Berto beating any of the elite welterweights, with the exception of Paulie Malinaggi.
Quit it, SCLA Ali! Of course I made plenty of bread. "A little-man complex" is another myth to make big @sses like your feel good. Neither history nor reality support that big-man-is-superior-to-a-smaller-man syet.
I heard of keeping hope alive, but yo' big, ole @ss keep a joke alive. Choke yo'self, or even smoke yo'self! Haha! Holla!
As I had repeatedly mentioned the ghost would whoop berto with no problem...
if only the ghost was NOT trying to prove a point and just fought at mid range he would have had berto out of there in 4 rounds. truth..
however, the ghost wanted to prove the POINT that HE was tough enough and strong enough to push a true ww around and man handle him.
this was the worst ref i have ever seen in my life what was he even doing in that ring?
the ghost DID earn a shot at floyd, but all of you haters need to realize that styles make fights and the ghost wont be fighting floyd the same way
as he fought berto.
the ghost not only applies his skills but also his IQ, as does floyd, although berto is far from a smart boxer...
Ah yes Radam, catchweights. The road to fame for pacquiao, dehydrating your opponents and implementing stipulations in the contract that limit rehydration on fight night causing his opponents to be stationery, weak, and slow. Beating dehydrated champions and former greats doesn't make you the king pin had welterweight! Catchweight coward pacquiao tried doing the same to marquez last time around and he looked befuddled. Pacquiao couldn't keep up his assault last fight against bradley and missed a lot of his punches, he had to steal rounds, he hasn't had a knockout in the last 3 years against an unconfident, badly coached, dehydrated cotto. I am no hater, I am just calling it as it is, pacquiao was a beast up until a couple years ago, he looked great against stationery opponents who gave him little lateral movement. His physicality and athleticism are what made him good, not boxing skills. At this stage mayweather would pick him apart, 3 years ago because of mayweather's stationery philly shell defense it would be a very tough fight. PACQUIAO iS A HYPE JOB AT WELTERWEIGHT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NO ELSE SEES THAT. WHO DID HE BEAT AT WELTERWEIGHT THAT WASN'T PAST THEIR PRIME OR AT A CATCH WEIGHT? Ricky Hatton? Lol. Clottey who statyed in defensive shell? A Plaster less margacheato? And no Guerrero isn't the latest threat at welterweight, when he was supposed to fight mayweather a year or so ago a lot of writers and fighters were saying he would give mayweather trouble. And rumor has it that he hurt pacquiao when they sparred. Pacquiao is lucky to be #4 on espn's p4p rankings
Berto had a lot of steroids and PEDs in his arse. Without that he is revealed like the former sprinter Ben Johnson. He got caught with the syet in him. Carl Lewis officially didn't. Sounds like nowadays boxing. Officially Money May is getting a pass. But dat syet, as Pops Joy May calls it, is all up in his son's money-braggin' @$$. Holla!
good assesment amaseng...went just like you called it.
Thanks brownsugar i have officially called two fights correctly ha. Ward - froch and now ghost- berto.
I see the ghost similar to floyd in that he is highly skilled and smart in the ring. Of course floyd has better physical gifts but the ghost has an iron chin for sure.
Maybe if the ghost beats one more ranked WW he could have a shot at floyd.
I favor floyd in that fight but i would like to see robert get the shot and the payday.
Actually i called the sergio- chavez fight as well and maybe a few others. Ha.
Boxing is a business of fame. And has 14 official catchweights. Learn the game, ___ ___ __. The real Queensberry game of pugilism has eight legit weight divisions. As Uncle Roger May likes to croon: "Most people don't syet 'bout bosking." If those shoes fit, wear them. Danggit! Nice the Tea Party bytches are up in boksing's britches. Haha! Get a life, hater! What is the percentage of ____ _________ ______ ! Four more catchweights! Let's go! Fire UP!
It's all about the money! Ain't d@mn thang funny. You need it to live in this world of mike -- I mean milk and honey. No time for the phoney. Holla!
The very nature of boxing -- except for those sorry-out heavyweights -- is signing contracts and draining, so dat moolah, you can be gaining. That is why fighters come down, for dat moolah, not to wolf pride syet and clown. Pride is for cojones-less ___ ___ who has never been in this ride. It is known as prizefighting, not pridebytching. This is why Sergio Martinez will lost his johnson and an arm to make the weight to fight Da Manny or Money May. And they beat da hebejeebeez outta him. But he will be paid phatty.
Those who don't have skills to pay their pays and talent to leap ant hills, are the ones in cyberspace bytch spitting about imaginary dumbsyet, such as catchweights. Look at it as catchmoney. Something you are apparently having hell and high water catching. The blindest and the dumbest are usually the proudest with the least means and money. Go eat you some ant honey. It has a calming effect. And will halt your mental wreck. Hahaha! I'm the have-been-pro-making-money one percent up in herre! And it's gettin' hot in herre! Holla!
You must be wrong sometimes, just as everybody loves somebody sometimes. Sure I'm wrong about 15 percent of the time. I'm a darn 85 percenter. Don't hate. Just communicate. We can all relate. Nobody -- not even Jesus, Mary and God, The Father -- has a perfect slate. And that is not up for debate. But you know me! I'm down with O-P-P! Hehe! Holla!
BTW! Berto lost for the choice of not being wanting to be caught with roids in his arse again. I'm reminded of a situation in the amateurs. Maybe we will run into each other one of these days. And we can discuss a whole lot of my realities and actualities and your -- I mean other people's -- myths. Hehe! Holla!
SCLA Ali, even SRD -- as everybody in this Universe -- know that you LIE a lot and/or struggle with comprehension. Don't even act like a Creshaw crackhead ho. How many times are going to forget syet and straight-up try to spread discord by having a darn fork tongue? Everybody and dey momma know dat you are talkin' outta yo' head like __ __ who wanna smbd. Haha! Cut out dat down-low jive and sippin' yo juice in da hood.
Anybody with even a peabrain can go to the TSSU archives of Radam G's more than 3,000 posts and see that you are fudging hallucinating and gettin' on bull$hitology to get a bone from one of the know-dey-syet posting BIG DAWGS! Bow wow! Hahaha! Are you hungry to fit in for a bit of TLC. Take yo' @ss to church! You need Jesus, Mohammed, Moses and Buddha. Hehehe! Holla?
Radam making fighters come to catch weights and not allowing them to fully rehydrate over night is cheap and cowardly. Yes it happens, but pacquiao has gained his fradulent fame from it. And you failed to address the fact that DLH and mosley were past their prime. Use all the fancy you lingo want but the fact of the matter is now that pacquiao does not have negotiating power cuz he is slowing down he can't demand fighters to fight at inconvenient weights. Freddie Roach says Mayweather is trying to control by implementing random drug testing, pacquiao and arum did the same thing with these bogus catchweights. He won't fight a dangerous fighter unless they come down in weight, and brandon rios as next possible opponent? The guy is a perfect stationery opponent for him. Yes when asked about fighting sergio, roach responded unenthusiastically we'll fight him at 147. Pssshhhh of course have sergio try to rehydrate with an iv overnight like oscar. Sergio said he's willing to fight him at 150. Hmmm he fought margacheato at 150 for the 154 title, why not sergio? Oh yeah that's right cuz sergio is a legitimate threat, he moves laterally, is fast, great left hand, and will prob knock out pacquiao. Margarito was a fraud without plaster but he appeared to be a tough opponent to the general public because he could still walk through punches, but in reality that's it because lost his punching power. Pacquiao turned down yuri foreman before he fought margacheato, who is 5'11, same height has margacheato. Pacquiao said "he's too tall" hmmmm or maybe he just is an above average fighter who has good foot work and movement, it would be a difficult task for me. Yes I know about fighters coming in down in weight for big pay days whether they are 100% or not they still fight to get paid. Beating washed out and drained fighters one after another doesnt make you the best, it just makes you rich but it'll bite you in the end. Like you said there are several divisions, either fight at the weight or move down. And yes you have been wrong about your predictions, most of them being roach fighters. You're the biased hater drinking the pacquiao and roach kool aid. At least mayweather fought and beat to game fighters in his last two fights without making them cut off their arms. Can't say the same about manny. You can write all the forums you want but clearly you're biased in favor of team roach
Max Kellerman is turning into Jim Grey in the post fight interviews... obnoxious and disrespectful to the loser. Berto fought hard and left it all in the ring, all while operating with only one eye from early on in the fight. But Max did have the quote of the night... "It isn't pretty... it's beautiful." Great fight, like watching something out of the forties. The Ghost is very good at punching hard without the big windup... they look like sparring punches until you see the opponent's legs buckle. Because of the unfortunate early eye probs for Berto, a rematch might be more competitive. Like Hatton, that ref should call it a day. Did Berto's corner say anything relevant or helpful during the fight? A bad cornerman is sometimes a greater danger to the fighter than his opponent.
Another thing why doesn't Berto ever double up on his jab then throw the right hand. How about thowing a lead right hand and not falling in. How about changing the speed on your punches instead of throwing bombs all the time. How about throwing a check left hook while the ghost was coming in instead of just ducking all the time. I can't say it enough he needs a new trainer ASAP!! ShoulderRoll you might be right about him being who he is but he has to try something else cuz the sh$t he's doing right now is pathetic.
Taking nothing away from Guerrero but Berto's plan to impersonate Floyd Mayweather and Adrien Broner was a huge disaster that led into him being dropped and a bad eye injury. Instead of helping his defense it created more offense for Robert. Effffin' Berto was too focused on raising his shoulder high (and making a face that resembled a angry pug) and forgot to throw punches and protect himself. Lol, my boxing god, what a dumb *** plan! Whaaaadafuck, some of the stupidest crap I've seen in a while.
Go away C Cas! The game is famously know as "The hurt business," as coined by Sugar Ray Robinson when he spoke to the U.S. Congress after he professionally done his job and killed Jimmy Doyle. Contracts are to make money. Cowardly and whatever are for the making-up-syet purist bytches. No honey, no money! Hurting @$$ and gettin' @$$ hurt is "hurt bitnezz for that special breed. Losing weight or blood, they would bleed.
Later for that weak syet. The late, great Hector "MACHO TIME" Camacho would workout and sit in the sauna for hours to lost weight according to the contract and fight, not bytch about some dumbsyet about cowardly this and that. Convince none-boksing bytches about your diatribe, because I'm straight-up legit. No cyberspace bullsyet. It is all about the play to get the pay.
I'm reminded of SuperBad Chad Dawson going down in weight to get the BIG pay. And don't say syet about him. I know why you harp on Da Manny. Later for the Ugly American and ___ _____! America, The Beautiful is now running syet, and the world has mad luv fo' dat fine mamajama. Later for the ___ ___ holdouts with thier interposition and nullification. Alternate reality is bunk! And cannot handle da FUNK! Holla!
SouthPaul, holla at old footage on Youtube of Ken Norton again Ernie Shaver and Gerry Cooney. Berto looked more like Norton than a bootlegged shoulder-rolling genuis taught by Pops Joy May. Berto was doing a broke-@$$ version the Philly Shell/crab, no doubt. But he was stiff and jittery like Norton against the above that I mention. I've not seen any other fighter with the adroitness that Money May has in doing the PJM version of the Ps/c. Holla!
I didn't mention chad dawson because it was his choice to go down to 168 from the get go! Andre Ward didn't demand him to come down to 168, Dawson initially agreed to it. And if they fight at LH it'll be a similar outcome. Yes a lot of fighters work out, sit in the sauna, etc to make weight but guess what they are allowed to fully rehydrate to their normal weight whatever it is. Sometimes they put on 10-15 lbs over night having a size advantage, but that's the hurt business radam right? And it can be very difficult to make it but than you throw a catch weight on top of it, making your opponent come down more. And further it's bs when your opponent isn't allowed to fully rehydrate over night or they come down to a weight they haven't fought at in over 7 years. Making your opponent come down in weight is one thing but making them come down further and unable to fully rehydrate is bs. Yes radam contracts are made for money and in the process of writing them is negotiations, pacquiao's opponents were stupid to agreeing to those terms but I guarantee you if he fights Cotto again at 154 not 150, Cotto dominates. Oh btw I'm glad you brought up Ray Robinson, however you failed to mention that when he challenged Lamotta for the first time he gave up 13 lbs and when he challenged Joey Maxim for lh title he gave up 16 lbs! Catch weights weren't used back then, the best fought the best and no bs about making them come to a catch weight. Sh*t if sugar would have made maxim come to a catchweight maxim might have passed out before the ref did on that 103. Fighting the best at their best, regardless of weight; that is the hurt business. I single out pacquiao because he was ranked #1 and #2 recently for the last couple of years for beating compromised opposition. I'd a lot better job convincing people than you, my english is decent who knows what you are saying. And if I were a hater of pacquiao I'd be on the steroid bandwagon but I'm not. I just call how I see it. Go brush up on your history
Catchweight has always been used. Tommy Burns -- the heavyweight champion of the world at 168lbs -- made Jack Johnson come in at a catchweight of 192lbs of below. Oh, YUP! Heavyweight used to fight at contract weights. HEY, TSS artmaster scribe Springs To, want you go deep and school these know nothing about the long-@$$ history of catchweights, including the fact that there are now 14 catchweight in the game nowadays. What da double fudge, there are more catchweight than the classic weights of legal mayhem.
This latest P-stalker is all up in my arse with imaginary jive and hate. Can P-playa get some luv. Holla!
B-Sug where u at I want to know what u thought about the fight.
Now you're contradicting yourself with heavyweights, I thought they didn't use catch weights plus heavyweight and supermiddleweight is a huge difference in, put catch weights on top of catch weight is ridiculous. That fight was over 100 years ago when health of the fighter was last on the list and colored fighters rarely fought white fighters. Being the heavyweight champ at 168 is asking for a beating And Johnson literally chased Burns around the world to fight him. I've been reading articles on this forum for the last two years. I am not the latest I'm the greatest. Pacquiao is an overrated welterweight, he was a beast at the lower divisions, get your head out of your arse.
Can I request this ref for the next Wlad fight? If people are allowed to punch out of clinches with Wlad we would see a whole different fight. If anyone dares to punch Wlad once he grabs them they get a warning from the ref! This fight and Khan-Peterson show that if the ref decides not to break the clinches an aggressive mauling fight can upset the smoothest of boxers. If only Hatton-PBF had been ref'd this way!!
Broner could not win against Guerrero . G already called him out to his face and Broner shut up.
Wow! I got a really __ ____ _____ stalker/faker. What a bull$h!t talker/trouble maker. And he's wrong one mo' time! You know that he is far from a dime.
White fighters did indeed fight the black and even the red, yellow and Brown fighters 100 years ago plus. It was just not for the world heavyweight title until TB gave JJ that shot and lost. Canadian TB had cojones and gave "Unforgivable Blackness" that forbidden fruit -- Heavyweight Champion of the World. And in history -- to this day -- TB is paying for it by the powers that be not rating him as one of the true p4p greatest of all times.
Back in that era, Stanks -- I mean Yanks -- cared about the heavyweight division staying white, not the other seven divisions being that way. Because at flyweight, one of my ancestors was whuppin arses and taking names. Matter of fact, he beat the ancestor of nowadays of great ring announcer Mike Buffer's ancestor. Pinoy Time has been up in the hizouse for scores and a decade.
I don't know what your obsession is with jumping up in my grill, but I have a bad bit. And you won't get a thrill. BTW, "Forgivable Blackness" George Dixon was the first cat to rule two divisions at the same time and during the 1890s, so you are wrong again about whites not fighting "coloreds." Old GD whup many of arse -- white and black.
I'm certain that everybody has enjoyed me kicking your stalker-time @ss, but it is time for me to put you on ignore. Holla!
Radam hush if you want to use history for catch weights be consistent. I'm 90% correct of the time, it's better than 85% lol. I'm pretty certain that everyone on this forum is tired of you giving pacquiao cyber f*ll*tio
Thanks Ali!
When I get some time I'll definitely be Youtube'ing Norton.
OOPS! I musta' fo'got! Don't thought -- THINK! The only contradicting is that yo' @ss is outta of your league messin' with the one and only Radam G.
There was a time in every sports that a player would get fined for coming in "overweight" -- the signed contracted weight. In basketball, the powers that be would dig deep into Charles Barkley's pockets for dat syet. In football, they got rid of William "Refrigerator" Perry for not being able to hang below 290lbs. In boksing, in the heavyweight division, back in da day, comissions took money from Buster Mathis, David Bey, James "Bonecrusher" Smith and "Big" John Tate, to name a few, about come-in-weight issues.
Uncle Roger May is ditto to daang max about you: "Most people don't kno' sh*t 'bout boksin!'" And let me add: But dey fake dey @sses off in cyberspace, 'cause dey cam't (sic) hang wif da top dawgs' pace in a righteous place. Holla!
About Norton, Ken's defense worked great as long as he was allowed to always move forward. Only three opponents could back him up and they made very short work of him.
Berto's stance against the Ghost didn't look natural. Hard to believe that his trainer would allow him to test this style in such a big fight, especially when it didn't appear that he was really comfortable with it.
Yes and in those sports the contracts were with their teams not their opponents who were going to war with them in the square jungle. Making weight in other sports to meet team standards is much different from boxing. The great SRR didn't use catch weights to jump up to middleweight and lightheavyweight. And say what you want about him not fighting murder's row but he is still one of the greatest, in addition a lot of white fighters avoided them. What I'm trying to say is pacquiao used catch weights and rehydration limitations to take advantage of his opponents in addition to beating over the hill fighters. He's an overrated get off his johnson. Preach about donaire. Uncle Roger also says pacquiao ain't sh*t
Uncle Roger rarely says anything positive of anyone other than himself and his nephew. Total obnoxious asshole.
Seriously lol
Carmine Cas is a beast Radam u got your hands full against this guy.
pac cleaned out the mexican murderer row so he will always be rated high on that alone. guerero should fight broner next. guerrero already shut broner up, walked right up to him and called him out.broner looked away and didnt say much. styles make fights and if guerrero can rough up broner on the inside he can win easy.
SCLA Ali, you oughta quit being a chameleon. Everybodeee and dey momma can see reality and actuality of your peabrain siding with every nutcase that rolls up in this Universe. It they are against Radam G and everything Asian and 75 percent of everything European, you are with 'em. Especially if they have the audacity to LIE, and think nobody knows or know how to check the Universe archives.
This latest nutcase's band wagon, that you have jumped on and morphed into, fits you to the T. He will not go the fudge away with know-nothing arse, and he believes that he is showing sumptin, sumptin, when his arse is moppin' up da floor. Kinda reminds me of what I do to yo' makin'-up-bullsyet arse. You muthafudgas are ___ __ __ ___! And kiss me where the sun doesn't shine and dat is my Pinoy _____! You knooooooow!
BTW! Since Steroid-PEDs-using Money May will probably bytch out again in steppin' up in dat squared jungle across from Da Manny, the Cali Ghost will get the shot in April. Watch what you wish for, as the Chinese maxim goes. You may get it. Another one will bite da dust after crybaby Marquez get da double fudge Mexecutioner KAYOED, FINALLY! Dat ho is worst than a thousand-and-one ugly-@ss Jasons. BTW, the Cali Ghost Guerrero's face will look similar to Berto's syet after Da Manny get finish muggin' and Mexecutioning dat Cali Ghost's arse.
One more thang [sic], SCLA Ali, you are dat d@mn "Ugly American," who hates anything not in your favor. Plus you are an Ebonican, urbanite Mitt Romney. You believe that everybody is with your dumbsyet, and then you are shock when you lose BIG TIME! And nobody like yo' arse.

THAT IS IT! Holla!
He did deepwater give him credit for that, he was great below welterweight. But setting a record of winning titles in 8 straight divisions is bogus, he's not an elite welterweight or junior middleweight lmao. I think guerrero could maybe rough him on the inside but his best bet would to be fight him on the inside, use angles,feints, and most importantly that left. The left hand is kryptonite to an ortodox philly shell, whether it be a jab or straight. The philly shell leaves you partially exposed to the left because it's in the punch's trajectory path and same angle. You see Oscar and cotto tagging floyd with their jabs, unfortunately they got tired. But pressuring a fighter with great philly shell defense in a linear fashion with no angles plays right into their strategy ala demarco. I've witnessed it first hand sparring with my friend who employs the defense decently. The straight right rolls off his lead shoulder but when I double jab he can only turn his shoulders so many times before I get him, in addition I work a hook/uppercut off the jab. His right hand is on the right side of his face ready to throw it. He can't defend my left so much with it otherwise he loses his ability to counter cuz he would have to bring across to the left side of his face thus rendering it an ineffective punch. And in that stationery defense his head can only go down, where he meets my uppercut. This is why Mayweather didn't want to fight pacquiao 2-3 years ago, Mayweather is the superior boxer but pacquiao's multi-angle attack presented a huge problem to him. Now mayweather would have a field day with him Idk why he's still chicken. You can't simply pressure the philly shell with wide punches, the jab/left is the key....
give pac credit for ruining margocheato and almost making cotto quit for good after he made hatton commit bogus suicide.. no weight issues there.demarco didnt do anything but stand there. he coulda tried to box on the inside or outside but did neither. watch the technique southpaw spadafora used on mayweather in sparring. yeah i know its just sparring and all that but look at the way mayweather was handled. guerrero beats broner and maybe mayweather if he can use the same style as he did juiced up berto.and radam is right, trade your worthless federal reservwe notes for real money= gold and silver.
Lol you talk about race, you seem to be the ethnocentric one only favoring pacqiuao and donaire. Lol as mayweather says "you ain't gon do sh*t" Pacquiao couldn't knock out the broken foot vegan soft punching Bambi of Bradley, how the hell do you expect him to knockout the ghost he takes heavy shots and boxes very well. Pacquiao is a one dimensional fighter; offense only and now that he's slowing down his legs won't serve as his primary source of defense anymore. Manny's mexecutioner days are over he couldn't even beat an older marquez. Holla at me dam dam or should I say dumb dumb lol
Yea except Cotto couldn't rehydrate over 150. A little curveball no? Margacheato was already powerless after he go exposed
broken foot big head bradley didnt fight and ran . if he tried to fight he would of got clipped. if pac doesnt beat up marquez this time around then he might be done soon. if mayweather and pac fight and steve smoger is the ref then mayweather gets knockout. if mercante jr is the ref the fight will be a joke.
Yea except Cotto couldn't rehydrate over 150. A little curveball no? Margacheato was already powerless after he go exposed

rehydrate? I thought the catchweight was 150lb. weigh in then rehydrate and stick an iv in your arm. pedro diaz knows how do it.who exposed margocheato? mosley? mosley was mad because his x wife jin gave him divorce papers right b4 that bout. she even went for the belts. a cold women can make a boxer very angry. in pro boxing boxers/teams try and get advantages whether its size of ring,tightness of ropes,gloves oz and glove brand. catchweight is part of it.
Tim Bradley has been waterlooed. The Sin City stanks used him, and has destroyed his career. Dude is messed up in his big, ole cranium, his muscle-bound torso and his big-arse feet. Nobody even want to fight his arse. Now he is "The most avoided boxer on da planet." Hehehe! I wonder why. [It ain't worth a hill of beans fighting a mirage victor.]
WOW! What type of victory did he get? A fudge-you, you-ain't-syet one! Everybody and dey momma are ignoring him. Only two or three of his Mexican relatives, a couple of Anglos, a hand full of Ebonicans and a band of haters with a big L attached to 'em are giving TB luv. Hahaha! They say that it is lonely at the top, and I guess so, especially when you have been used by hating dark forces still bucking for ____ ___ control and given a trumped-up, coded victory.
Anybody with a brain is laughing at bambi Big-foot's arse for even hallucinating that he really won and that Da Manny is really scared of him. YUP! Da Manny is like those Martians who are scared of that space rovers. Those scary-@ss Martians are cave-and-underground hiding like bats and groundhogs. RIGHT! Some people will believe anything or make it up and then starting believing. "Say it! And it comes about!" Huh! OMFG!
Da Manny is notorious for wrecking syet. WOW! He got himself a wreck yard of boxers. What a LONG LIST that crybaby Marquez will certainly join on December 8, 2012. Money May can get some in 2013, but it will likely be a Cali Ghost with the cojones. He is gonna get PAID and LAID -- Mexecutioner style! Holla!
The catch weight was 145, Cotto couldn't exceed 150 on fight night when he clearly walks around over 150. A logical stipulation but still protocol that a lot of fighters aren't used too, fighting not fully re-hydrated with a bad corner and low confidence is a recipe for disaster. Yeah the IV would def work, ask oscar, he'll tell you all about it. Nazim the "genie" as radam refers to him, exposed margacheato (nazim is a very good trainer). Margarito was tripping over himself when he fought mosley, he looked like an amateur. He was exposed and psyched out during the fight. After margacheato came back from suspension his power mysteriously lagged, looking average against poor competition before he fought pacquiao . Deepwater answer me this. Why would Margarito use plaster only against a seemingly faded 37 38 year old mosley and not against one of the top p4p miguel cotto in his previous fight or any of the more competitve opponents before him? And manny took his foot off the gas in the last half of the fight with bradley, roach will even vouch. Fighters who are technically sound and use lateral movement give pacquiao issues. Manny will get schooled come Dec 8 by Marquez like he always does
no how and no way can you take away shanes near decapitation of margacheato...
shane straight went crazy on his *** due to his wife serving him papers, not because margacheato got caught before the fight with some wraps..
half the time a fighter is made to rewrap in front of the opponents cornerman or the official, just for mind games...
secondly once margacheato got punched in the face all the pre wrap **** goes out the window, as u go into fight mode..
shane straight laid a beating, a fantastic beating, in fact my favorite ever live fight in the last ten years,....
cant take nothing away from it, no excuses...
pacman whooped bradley, you cant win a fight by running like a bitch for 12 rounds while taking a whoopin and only winning two rounds because the other fighter took them off...
the ghost would whoop broner in good fashion, broner is a physical beast, but he doesnt have the skills and tools along with iq that the ghost has...
also, pac will beat a Jacked up and roined out jmm next week...
im a fan of jmm, but lets be honest dude is on PEDS
no doubt about it..
at 38 near 39 you dont start adding more muscle fiber, testosterone levels arent adequate enough to do that.....
I think margarito loaded his gloves many times.Mosley would have punished him if he had a knife. You can say manny took his foot of the gas but I can say Bradley stepped on the gas and made sure not to exchange.nothing is worse chasing around a guy that doesnt want to fight. Look how frustrated Duran got chasing Srl around and at least ray thru some punches and a couple bolos .
I'm not taking anything away from mosley but it def was a combination of Mosley's intensity coupled with Margarito's pyschological short comings. Margacheato deserved it. We'll see about pac-marquez, pac was supposed to beat him the last two fights decisively but we're having a fourth now. Arum and mayweather are both the same when it comes to cherry picking opponents
Berto is no Mayweather not even close. If yall think the ghost will be able to rough up Mayweather on the inside yall crazy. Money wins easily it will be like 10-2 and I'm being nice.
Agreed. He's the perfect opponent for MAyweather. Not overly risky..Floyd won't have to share much of the revenue nor will he have to share much of the spotlight cause in the big scheme of it all.. Not too many people outside the hardcore scene know who Guerrero is. He's got just enough of a name to make a nice little quick buck for the Money Team. Team. Perfect match to carry them over to the next mega showdown. They definitely love these kind of opponents.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Greg Norman, Adam Scott — Getty Images
But the legacy Norman left was a pretty big one in Australia. His rise to fame had plenty of youngsters running to their local driving ranges to see if they could be the next Shark, and with Adam Scott winning the Masters on Sunday evening it all came together.
Norman took to his Facebook page to send out some love for Scott on Sunday night.
Congratulations to Adam Scott on becoming the first Australian to win the Masters. I have been a huge believer in Adam and I am so proud of him, as is the rest of Australia. Adam is a great player and I'm confident this victory will catapult him to win more Majors. It will not surprise me if he wins more major championships than any other Australian golfer in history.
I was very proud of all of the Aussies today. It gave me so much pride to look up at the leaderboard and see three Aussie flags on there, and I was on the edge of my seat all afternoon watching the Masters.
I'm sure deep down Norman still wishes he could have left his mark on Augusta National with a win of his own, but judging by what he wrote there and some of the comments he's made on a few of the popular golf shows, he's as happy for Scott as anybody.

In a stunning and fast-paced debut novel, local writer M.D. Waters takes sci-fi and makes it hotter than ever. Archetype follows the life of Emma Burke, a woman who is relearning about everything in her life after a tragic accident stripped away all of her memories. The one problem that Emma has is that her dreams are of a life completely different.
Slowly, piece by piece, you and the protagonist start to learn what is true and what is being fabricated. The characters in the novel are vivid and lively. M.D. Water's does a great job of conveying emotions without harboring on superficial narratives. The love scenes are hot and concise, not dwelling too long on the details, but gives you enough to make your pulse race.
The best thing about this book is the vivid imagery and characters. Although some might say the lack of contractions used by the protagonist is a bit of gimmick, I wouldn't see it that way, considering the way Emma Burke is taught to live again. This is a character that had to start from scratch.
The only thing that sticks out as a negative is that in the beginning of the novel it tends to have a repetitiveness. You want Emma to have a breakthrough sooner than she does, but this is also a common thing to find in a Margaret Atwood novel. You want to know more than she gives you, and that can sometimes be agonizing. The cliffhanger ending makes you ache for the rest of the story. Thankfully, the second novel will be out on July 24th 2014 so the wait is not long.
Who should read this book? Anyone who would enjoy a contemporary Margaret Atwood with hotter leading men.

Oh my god I can see it now. Melo droppin 40 while Tyson and the D LOCKDOWNS D.B*tch and the Nyets
Alittle disappointed that WE dont get the home game to start.
Thats disrespect.
When do they go on sale, can't wait to be in this Barclays building screaming for orange and blue!!
This may be the first game, but this needs to be a STATEMENT game.
Let these F*ckers know we still run New York
They can win the Battle but we will win the war. Just like what my giants showed the jets last year.
Damn now this is gonna be official, I can't wait. Bring it on, I see all our players playing with an added fire(as will Brooklyn) and that should propel us. Melo will be on a roll to start and stat will be stat again. We got this
I hear the next night we in the garden vs the heat. Lets go!!!!!!!!
Looks like we facing the Lakers on Christmas
Yeah full schedule isn't released yet. It will be tonight doe so the wait won't be much longer.
Us spoiling their home opener at Barclays is sweeter than at MSG.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I think we got the opener last season at the "new" MSG so I'm ok with this being in BK, it'll be like a home game anyways.
I'm interested to see what the new full season schedule looks like. Last year was awesome cause there was a game like every other night for the Knicks and games every night on TV.
I hate that we play Miami the very next night but w/e.

As soon as Cheryl Weaver (as Beverly Nowak) bursts upon the stage in her traffic-cone orange bowling shirt, the broad humor in Miracle on South Division Street, New Theatre Restaurant's current production, is taken up a notch. Beverly is a force to be reckoned with in the blue-collar, staunchly Catholic, Nowak family, and Weaver makes sure we see that. When Craig Benton (playing her brother, Jimmy, a trash collector) disparagingly calls her a "ketchup bottler," Weaver interrupts to correct him, "Salad dressing!" and her spunkiness elicits hearty laughs from the audience. Weaver's body language is spot-on, as she slouches around in the kitchen, inhabiting her boisterous character from the inside out. Her tantrum when thwarted from going to the bowling alley is show-stoppingly funny.
Benton, as always, is a delight, his professionalism making us truly believe that he's a genial sanitation engineer trying to keep peace among the three combative, histrionic females in his family, while quietly harboring a secret of his own. Not only is his comedic timing superb, but he engenders empathy for long-suffering Jimmy, whose mother not only forbids him to spend any more time with a Jewish girl that he hopes to marry, but also forces him (along with his sisters) to wear a goofy Christmas headband. Poor guy.
The legendary Connie Stevens is the guest star who anchors this production, playing the matriarch, Clara, as a ditzy, matronly Polish-American woman who firmly believes, not only in the Catholic church, but also in a miracle that allegedly occurred to her father. (Stevens' real-life daughter, Tricia Leigh Fisher, has a meaty supporting role as Clara's other daughter, Ruth, who has come across information that puts that "miracle" into question and throws the whole family into a tizzy.) Fisher handles her part with aplomb.
The first several minutes of this production start out slowly, with very few laughs, but mercifully, once the miracle of "Grandpa seeing the Blessed Virgin in his barbershop" begins to unravel, the jokes fall fast and furiously. This is the turning point of the play, where Clara's exaggerated reactions to Ruth's revelations are so over-the-top hilarious that audience members are guffawing practically nonstop. Stevens, still a beauty in her frumpy apron, masterfully takes charge of the scene. (I, for one, was practically gasping for breath.)
The "Restaurant" portion of your New Theatre Restaurant evening will do way more than fortify you for the performance. As always, the food on the buffet line is impeccably presented and flavorful. Taking advantage of available seasonal fare, the chefs offer fresh spring asparagus, as well as baby carrots, a roasted vegetable medley, pasta primavera (in a delectable basil cream sauce), and polenta. The loaded mashed potatoes will leave you singing their praises, then going back for more. (The potatoes are half-smashed, then loaded with cheddar cheese and sour cream, and topped with scallions.)
Main courses include pork carnitas, fried basa, paprika chicken, and roasted beef shoulder tenderloins, as well as boneless "buffalo" chicken thighs. (The mild buffalo sauce may be a nod to the setting of the play--a working-class neighborhood in Buffalo, New York.)
It may seem a bit unsettling at first to hear Christmas music in the theater in springtime before the show opens, but once the production begins, spending a Christmas with the Nowak family turns out to be "the season to be jolly," kooky headbands and all.
The Fine Print You can catch Miracle on South Division Street through June 15, 2014 at the New Theatre Restaurant in Overland Park, Kansas. Call 913-649-7469 or go to newtheatre.com.

As can be expected from Magna's European product, you will find in Olympus of Lusts several attractive, sometimes stunning natural bodies and faces, and lots of anal and D.P.
The opening scene in fact has an archingly beautiful blond, with perfect "Barbara Dare" tits, and a shapely ass. She cow-girls, reverse cowgirls and gives head to her lover, until she jerks him off onto her face. She's the reason to see this tape.
Lynn LeMay is also in good form (forget the natural body thing though) as she does two anals and gets tit-fucked and facialed.
The rest is average fare. The main drawback to consider is the overdubbed vocal track that contains no heat, but is sometimes humorous. Overall, fans of Euro babes will probably enjoy this tape.

College Hockey:Emotional Sauer Announces His Retirement
Wisconsin Coach's 31st Season Will Be His Last
MADISON, Wis. — Jeff Sauer, his eyes glistening as much as the two national championship rings on his fingers, faced a group of reporters and his friends, assistants and players, took a deep breath and explained why he thought this was the time to announce his retirement.
"I did talk to my dad last night, and he said this is a good thing," the Wisconsin coach said, pausing in the middle to fight back tears, "so I feel very comfortable about it."
— Jeff Sauer
It comes as no surprise to anyone who knows Sauer that the legendary college hockey coach would turn to his father for advice. Ted Sauer passed away in the fall of 1998, but he helped his son through what had to be one of the toughest moments of his coaching career.
Sauer said he is retiring as Wisconsin's coach at the end of this season, ending a run that made him just as synonymous with the program as the legendary "Badger" Bob Johnson.
When the end of the season rolls around, it will be a full 31 years as a head coach for Sauer, the last 20 in Madison.
In those last 20 years, he has won two national championships, five WCHA playoff titles, made 12 NCAA tournament appearances, seen 17 players earn all-America honors and seen 27 of his players play in the NHL.
"The bottom line is, from my standpoint, it's time," said Sauer, the fourth-winningest college hockey coach with 647 victories. "I really feel comfortable with the fact that it's time. Whether the impression is that I'm being shoved away and all that kind of stuff, I don't look at it that way. I feel very confident in the fact that this is the right decision and it's time to do that. You can take that and run with it, whatever you want. From my perspective, I'm comfortable with this."
Word of Sauer's retirement broke in Tuesday's editions of the Wisconsin State Journal. Sauer was reportedly visibly upset when he arrived to the Kohl Center that morning for practice.
He said even his family didn't know he was considering retirement until he told them Monday night. He expressed anger at Wednesday's news conference at the way things were handled.
"I don't think it was fair to me or my family the way this transpired," said Sauer, who called the members of his coaching staff late Monday night to notify them of the events. "I thought I deserved better. That's where I'm at with that."
He added: "The thing that disturbed me the most was that I was not able to — I was not asked the specific question with enough time to not have this come out. Let's put it that way."
Sauer, 58, said his plan was to announce his retirement after the season, at the team's banquet.
Most of the Wisconsin players learned of the coach's retirement by reading the newspaper.
"The first thing I did to my team was apologize because my team found out about this in the newspaper, and that is not acceptable," Sauer said.
Wisconsin athletics director Pat Richter, with whom Sauer said he had talked about retirement for a year and a half, said it was time to move on after the news leaked.
"We certainly can understand why Jeff is not happy about it," said Richter, whose son Barry played for Sauer, "yet we've had a discussion since that time and I think once it happened there's a certain feeling that we got it out and now we can go forward."
Sauer is expected to enter an administrative position in the athletics department after the end of the season.
A 1965 graduate of Colorado College, Sauer started his head coaching career at his alma mater in 1971 after serving as an assistant to Bob Johnson at Wisconsin. He won the WCHA's coach of the year award twice while at CC.
In the summer of 1982, he took over for Johnson at Wisconsin. His 647-523-55 overall record includes a 481-297-44 mark with the Badgers.
Sauer became emotional a handful of times during Wednesday's news conference, including when talking about his players.
"As I told my team the other day, the only reason I've done this is because of them," Sauer said. "I try to be a role model of some kind. In some cases, they look at me as kind of up on a pedestal and they're afraid to come and talk. But I think most of the people know that my door's always open."
He added: "I just thank all the players [for] all the things that they have done for me, not only winning and losing and all that type of stuff, but just having a chance to be a part of their lives. I spent more time with them than I have with my own family in terms of growing up."
Sauer did have a list of regrets, also, though he said there weren't many from his career.
One was the 1992 NCAA championship game against Lake Superior State in Albany, N.Y. The Badgers lost 5-3, and as a result of some of his players verbally abusing the game officials, Sauer was suspended for one NCAA tournament game.
"We had the game won, we got ourselves into some penalty trouble," Sauer said. "I have yet to ever watch the tape of the game. I've yet to watch the tape and see what people told me in terms of how the referee handled things. I think that scenario for a couple years there made it tough for us at Wisconsin to be successful. I think we had to really struggle to get ourselves back on track."
He also noted a change in the program since it moved into the Kohl Center in 1998. The building seats about 7,000 more than the team's former home, the venerable Dane County Coliseum, but the team has to share it with the school's men's and women's basketball teams.
With only occasional practice time at the Kohl Center, the Badgers practice for the most part at the rink adjacent to the Coliseum, about two miles from campus.
"I think we, right now, are probably in the worst practice facility within the league in relation to some of the other schools," Sauer said. "I think moving to the Kohl Center has been great from a fan's standpoint and from an attendance standpoint and all of that, but we've lost the home-ice advantage, and it's difficult."
Sauer also lamented that the school, in his eyes, focuses on football and basketball first.
"Bob Johnson told me walking the mountains the day before I left to come here that you're going to find that Wisconsin is still a basketball-football school," Sauer said. "And I haven't seen that change over the course of time."
The school isn't expecting the search for Sauer's successor to be a quick one. While names like Denver's George Gwozdecky, Nebraska-Omaha's Mike Kemp and Wisconsin assistant coach Mark Johnson — all of whom have ties to the school — have been thrown into the mix as fodder for discussion, Richter said he doesn't anticipate a hire before the end of the hockey season.
"We really haven't even started on that," Richter said. "Obviously, there are going to be people who are going to contact us, but I guess as a general statement, what I would say is we probably wouldn't expect to have someone until after the Frozen Four, just because there could be coaches that are going to be involved in the tournament. As a general statement, I would say that there shouldn't be anything definitive until that time."
Richter also noted that having ties to the university may not improve a candidate's chances.
Sauer advised Richter that he'll get a "stack of three, four hundred" resumes to sort through. He said he doesn't expect to have direct input on the coaching search, but thinks his opinion will be solicited at some point.
Sauer thanked a number of people, including his current and former staff members, in his 40-minute speech in the Kohl Center's media room.
He was asked what he hoped others would remember about his contribution to Wisconsin hockey.
"Success, we were able to win. Integrity over the course of time," Sauer said. "Just being a good person. That's really what it's all about. My philosophy, coaching-wise, is to recruit good players, give them the ability to express themselves on the ice. Some years it's bitten me in the tail, but try not to structure too much. Let them be themselves, be creative, let them have success.
"It's the fun of the game. It's the ultimate team game. You can't do this with one person, and that's why I'm not the guy that's responsible, everybody's responsible."

Chinese New Year of the Snake 2013
By Three Crazy Dogs | February 14, 2013
Kung Hei Fatt Choy to all my peeps, 5 days late Nevertheless, it's still CNY. Heheheh!! Wishing y'all a prosperous, happy and healthy year ahead! 😀
This year I drove northeast to my friend's in Superior, WI to usher in the year of the Snake with her and her family plus couple of her friends. We ate and ate and ate till I almost exploded….It's more of you snooze you loose kinda deal! It was awesome company and food. Chase had to stay back with DB.
Before I left to her place, she gave me her list of Asian groceries to shop in the cities which are cheaper and a lot of stuff she could not get where she's at. It was a fun time for me….shopping in the Asian stores. Can't believe I said that!!!!
Here's the cooler filled with groceries for my friend. There were some in the trunk too.
While I was at the grocery store I saw belachan. Damn it's not cheap.
And here are the dishes my friend made:
Sea cucumbers aka hoi sum, my mom's recipe. I had to call my mom and asked her how to cook it! I know the ingredients – some of it and roughly how she cooked it but I still called her to firm it.
Sengkuang/cuttlefish dish. Our favorite dish while growing up!
There were more dishes but I didn't take all the pictures. I was too much of a glutton. Eat first.
Then the drive home on Monday morning after the snow/sleet. Thank goodness the freeways were cleaned up good and the wind was drying it.
How was your CNY?

Gong Hei Fatt Choy!

Eating too fast can be fatal for a dog. Your fast-eating dog may choke on food or die from bloat. Change the meal routine and you will reduce vomiting and gagging, as well as bloat from gulping food.
Meals - Divide your dog's daily ration into two or three meals. When she has more frequent meals, she does not get over-hungry and attack her food. Or split each meal into portions, giving her one portion, waiting several minutes and then feeding another portion until the meal is done.
Offer quiet time. She may be eating too fast to keep other dogs from getting her food. Feed her in another room or put a portable gate between her and the food-grabbing dog buddies. Keep mealtime quiet for people and dogs. It reduces the anxiety that triggers food-bolting.
Bowls - Designed to slow fast eaters, special dog bowls such as brake-fast bowls are made with built-in bumps. Your dog eats more slowly as she hunts for kibble between the obstacles. Dog suppliers also make dishwasher safe balls such as the Portion Pacer and other objects for her food bowl. The bowl inserts fit in water or food bowls to slow down dogs from eating or drinking too fast.
Make your own diversion by adding a large rubber ball or several tennis balls at meal time. The ball rolls around in the bowl so that she must nose around to kibble-munch. If her bowl has a doughnut-channel on the bottom, turn the bowl upside down and pour her food in the channel. She must munch around the rim for her rations.
Games - Play with her food. Scatter a handful of dry kibble on the patio or a pizza pan. She cannot bolt her scattered food and nibbles it a piece at a time.
Put her food in a kibble ball or treat dispenser. She works it around the room with nose and paws, getting kibble as it falls out. Be sure the ball dispenses enough food to keep her happy and healthy.
If one method does not put the brakes on your fast-eating dog, try another method. And be sure she is healthy. The American Kennel Club suggests a vet visit to ensure your speed-eater does not have an underlying medical condition.

Everyday, we are inundated with various groups from both sides of the political fence trying to push their agenda through legal actions involving all levels of government. Gays and lesbians want "equal rights", feminists push "women's rights", Christians want God's law recognized, and it goes on and on and on. It seems there is a group for every cause and a cause for every group. And, while there are legitimate legal issues that our government needs to address, many of these causes are simply people trying to get their point of view accepted by society even when the majority of those in society reject those very ideas. For many of these issues, the government should have a largely neutral position, with laws that only deal with any actual injustice that injures someone, rather than a myriad of laws and regulations that usually end up having little to no effect to the actual problem it is trying to rectify. It is not our government's responsibility to save people from themselves, it's role should be to save people from each other and give us a forum for redress against actions from others that cause damage to our person, property or liberty.
America was founded by Christian men and the country they created was based on Christian morals and beliefs. These men were deeply faithful and great philosophical thinkers. They feared a large, overbearing government and wanted a country where it's citizens were free to say what they want, assemble with whom they want, and believe and worship in the religion of their choosing even if it went against their own personal beliefs. That seems to be the key sentiment that current conservatives miss when making their arguments that Christianity should be used as the guide for lawmaking. They are quick to quote the Founding Fathers beliefs in Christianity and it's importance to society, but will ignore other quotes by the same person which suggests that it is not the government's place to legislate morality. For example, if they believed that our government was to be solely based on the Bible, why would they put the freedom of religion clause in the First Amendment? The First Commandment is "Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me". It seems that the first step in making the Bible the blueprint for the nation's laws would be to eradicate and remove all other religions and beliefs. Yet, the Founding Fathers did not do this.
To be clear, there are many instances where Christian morals and government law agree and are crucial to ensure a just and functioning society. The morals that deal with preventing damages between two people are the morals that the Founding Fathers believed were the foundation of their new country. For example, thou shalt not kill is the basis for laws against murder. A great many teachings from the Bible are instructions on how to properly treat others so that groups of people can co-exist in a growing society. Murder, theft, and assault are just a few examples of these type of morals that the Bible teaches us are wrong and gives us a framework for a society to succeed.
On the other hand, many of the lessons of the Bible were to instill a personal code in people so that they could lead a longer and more productive life. Did you ever wonder why the Bible is so adamant about proper food preparation, cleanliness, and sexual conduct? Remember the time period in which the Bible was written. There was no penicillin, the human anatomy was barely understood. But, people did learn lessons from their own history. Meats not thoroughly cooked caused disease, being dirty made you more apt to be sick, diseases were passed through personal contact like sex. The personal morals the Bible taught were to help people survive. And those morals coming from God carried much more weight than your parents, friends, or local official trying to tell you the same thing.
To be a Libertarian, you should look at any law created through the following prism: Does this law infringe on anyone's life, property or liberty? With that in mind, let's take a look at the legalization of marijuana, and decide if we are dealing with personal moral choices, or actual legal problems that need to be addressed by our government.
With the recent legalization of marijuana in Washington and Colorado, this has become a hot topic in the media and for state lawmakers around the country. The arguments against pot largely don't hold water due to the fact that we already accept the legal use of three drugs that have serious medical ramifications for the user: alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine. Any argument against pot is a de-facto argument against the other three. If you discuss the fact that you believe that pot should be illegal over dinner with your friends, while drinking a glass or two of wine, then having an after dinner smoke and coffee, you are a hypocrite.
While there are no direct passages in the Bible that deal with marijuana, there are several passages that allude to it being a sin to use substances that alter the mind. At the same time, the Bible is very much in favor of wine and considers alcohol as one of God's "gifts" for man to enjoy. So, here is where the basic moral tenant of "alcohol good, pot bad" was created that evolved in our society and influenced the current lawmaking decisions. Even though alcohol very much alters the mind, it is considered to be in a special class that is acceptable.
The legal issues with pot are a little more complicated. Most anti-pot movements tend to deal with the idea of societal cost and perpetuating the pot-head stereotype. While there are several good arguments that detail the medical and societal costs of pot, and there are a lot of habitual users who develop a lack of motivation to achieve higher levels of personal and professional success, simply making it legal or illegal has no bearing on the effects of recreational pot usage. This is similar to underage drinking or smoking. Drinking under the age of 21 is illegal in America, but most surveys indicate that upwards of 80% to 95% (depending on the poll) of all high school students have used alcohol and a considerable amount of those drink on a regular basis. While many anti-smoking advocates like to point to public smoking laws as a cause of decreasing smoking rates, the fact is it has little to no effect on smoking rates. What has caused smoking rates to decrease has been the increased awareness of the medical ramifications of using tobacco, along with a comprehensive public service campaign to make smoking "uncool" with the younger generations.
There have been untold billions spent on the enforcement of marijuana laws in the United States, and by all accounts, the usage of pot (or at least the admittance of usage of pot) has increased over the last 30 or 40 years. Two of our recent Presidents have admitted to pot usage and there is a very vigorous debate over whether many of our Founding Fathers grew and smoked pot or not. So what, if any laws should we have on the books for pot? It should be treated exactly like alcohol. Alcohol laws are based on a very Libertarian stance. You are only penalized for using alcohol if doing so injures another's person or property, or has the potential to place another's person or property in danger, such as DUI laws. As long as you are not out there driving drunk, causing disturbances in public places, or doing anything else to disrupt the norm of society, you are free to drink as much as you like as often as you like. Marijuana (or any other drug) laws should be no different.
This same argument can be applied to other "sin laws" or "victimless crimes" like gambling, prostitution, and more. For example, the act of gambling should not be illegal, but you should be held liable if you are running a crooked game, or are found to be cheating while playing the game. As long as the game is run cleanly and all participants are playing with the rules, then there should be no need for any government intervention. Accordingly, a "bookie" should not be considered an outlaw. If people want to bet on sports games and provided all debts are honored to the original agreement of the bet, then again, there should be no need for any government intervention. However, if the bookie doesn't honor the term of the bet, or resorts to violence for the collection of a debt, then he has committed acts that have violated another's freedoms and should be subject to prosecution.
Prostitution is another immoral act that should not be considered illegal. Men and women have sex for all different reasons. Society teaches males from a very young age that in order to "get the girl" you have to have more money, the nicer car, the right clothes, go to the best restaurant, buy roses, give jewelry, and do everything you can to impress the fairer sex. Society teaches females that they should stay away from "losers" (i.e. no money and no car) and "cheapskates" (i.e. doesn't take them to nice places and get them nice things). Think of all the songs where women singers equate sex with being lavished with gifts or having money spent on them. Janet Jackson had a huge hit with "What Have You Done For Me Lately?" Movies and television have millions of references where in order to "get the girl" you have to "buy the girl" through gifts, your material possessions, and your ability to earn money. But if a woman decides that instead of going through all the games, and tells her suitor to skip the dinner, movie, candy, roses, jewelry, etc, and instead give that money to her for an evening of coitus, suddenly she is a criminal? How ridiculous is that?
Women have long been demanding that they are free to do with their bodies as they see fit and prostitution should be included in those rights. Regardless of your moral objections to the practice, why should it be illegal to charge for something that is perfectly legal to give away for free? As much as we would all like to live in a world where sex always equals love, the reality is that we don't and we never have. Sex is a basic human urge, and both men AND women take actions to fulfill those urges. Sometimes it is between two people in a loving, long term monogamous relationships. Sometimes it is a friend or acquaintance who is basically a "friend with benefits" or just happens to be in the right place at the right time. Sometimes it is a co-worker who you spend long days and maybe evenings with at the office. Sometimes it is the person you picked up at the bar. And sometimes, it is a woman and her customer for the evening.
From a Libertarian perspective, there is no reason for the government to be involved. Two consenting adults should be free to do whatever they want. That is not to say that the profession should not be regulated. Spreading a disease is a definite injury to another's person, so any "professional" should be subject to penalty should they pass a disease along to a customer. The rest of the transaction should be treated just like any other contract and either party would be subject to penalty if they did not fulfill the obligations of the contract. The customer doesn't pay, he would be subject to criminal or civil penalties. The provider doesn't complete actions agreed upon, but doesn't provide a mutually agreed remedy, she would be subject to criminal or civil penalties.
As a Libertarian, you can have strong moral objections to drug use, gambling, and prostitution. In fact, many of us do. This is where many Libertarians are misunderstood. People are led to believe by the press and other political parties that Libertarians want everyone smoking pot, everyone being promiscuous, and complete anarchy. That is simply not the case. We want every one to have the right to be able to do those things free from government intervention. A lack of government control does not equal promotion of the activity. It simply means that we believe it is none of your business (or the government's business) what we do, provided we are not hurting others. If you want to go out and try to persuade every drug addict to kick their addiction, help every gambler stop gambling, and convince every sex worker to get out of the industry, that is definitely your prerogative and you should do whatever your heart tells you to do. Just don't ask the government to force anyone to conform to your morals and you are welcome to join us in the Libertarian Party.

MURRYSVILLE, Pa. (AP) --UPDATED @ 12:05pm
A police chief says a 16-year-old boy "was flashing two knives around" when he injured 19 students and a school police officer this morning at a high school near Pittsburgh.
Police say someone pulled a fire alarm during the incident and that likely helped students get to safety faster than they would have otherwise.
The officer eventually subdued him with the help of an assistant principal.
Murrysville police Chief Thomas Seefeld says the bloody crime scene left behind Wednesday at Franklin Regional High School is "vast" and may take a couple of days to process.
Police haven't named the suspect who was taken into custody but says he's being treated for a minor hand wound.
Investigators haven't determined a motive but say they're looking into reports of a threatening phone call between the suspect and another student last night.
At least two of the victims are in critical condition, though doctors expect all victims to survive.
An official says four students were believed to be seriously injured at a high school near Pittsburgh, where a student with a knife stabbed or slashed others, injuring as many as 20.
Westmoreland County emergency management spokesman Dan Stevens says not all of the 20 injured were cut by the knife, though most were. Some suffered scrapes and cuts in the mayhem that ensued at Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville on Wednesday morning.
Stevens says it doesn't appear any students suffered life-threatening injuries. He says all the injured are between 14 and 17 years old.
The suspect, a male student, was taken into custody and being questioned.
Stevens says the suspect used a knife, though he didn't say what kind or why he attacked the others.
Several people were stabbed Wednesday morning at a high school near Pittsburgh, and a suspect was taken into custody, an emergency official said.
Dan Stevens, the spokesman for Westmoreland County emergency management, said five or six people were reported stabbed at about 7:20 a.m. at Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville, about 15 miles east of Pittsburgh.
It wasn't immediately clear if the suspect and the victims are students, adults or a mix of both. It doesn't appear that any of the victims suffered life-threatening injuries, Stevens said, though several helicopters were seen flying people from the scene to area hospitals.
School officials and Murrysville police didn't immediately return calls seeking further details, but the school issued a bulletin on its website saying: "A critical incident has occurred at the high school. All elementary schools are canceled, the middle school and high school students are secure."
The district serves about 3,600 students who live in the bedroom communities of Murrysville, Export and Delmont. The elementary and middle schools are part of the same campus.
The high school was on lockdown, and students were being kept there as a precaution as school and law enforcement officials double-checked the premises. School officials were making arrangements to bus the middle school students home.
District Attorney John Peck said he was monitoring the situation. Detectives from his office were also investigating, though Peck said he had no information beyond that being reported by Pittsburgh television news stations.
