The Uncomfortable Beauty in Daring Greatly. ~ Tara Mohtadi
Regardless of my resistance to wanting to write about this, I knew I was nourishing my soul every time I reached to read Brene Brown's book, Daring Greatly.
I was reaffirming something I already knew and needed to be reminded of. I was learning something completely new, or fascinating, or I was connecting to the author, to her experiences and well, to her own vulnerability.
The word itself brings immediate pangs of loss of control right to my chest. To me, it feels just like that. No control over how I am perceived. How I feel leads to swelling fear. Fear of the unknown. Scared.
There was an interesting point in the book about how vulnerability comes up when we are most happy—which rings very true for me. I will be in a moment of what feels like utter bliss. I am laughing with my friends on a beach without a care in the world, or looking into the eyes of the love of my life, and just when I find myself getting swept away in the moment my ego makes itself known.
What if Jordan dies before me? What if we all never get together again? It's going to be so hard to go home. Time is going by so fast. My vulnerability annihilates the moment. My thoughts take a sour turn and suddenly anything good I feel I no longer deserve. And it is so easy to tuck it away.
I don't want to tell anyone what makes me feel weird or different or strange. I don't want to make anyone feel bad or transplant my bad feelings onto them. I become so dominated by my ego that I would never think, "Hmmm, maybe I'm not the only one who feels this way some of the time?"
The resounding message from "Daring Greatly" that resonated with me was this idea that we are not alone in the emotions and experiences which make us feel vulnerable. It is a mind-blowing and life changing concept to realize that we are all connected and we are all the same.
Though it sounds like a blanket and somewhat of a bullshit statement, going a little deeper, it couldn't be more true. As human beings, at the root of it all, we all need love and connection. Circumstances, controllable and sometimes not, may veer us to rebel against this thought. People may say or act like connection is the last thing they need. They can harden and resist.
But as we peel back the layers of our experience, a desire for love and connection rests in our hearts. To come from this place of understanding is a new and evolving facet of my character and beliefs.
We are one, we are the same.
Recognizing we all need the same things helps to remove ego, anger, frustration and fear with others. Discord with people becomes a workable challenge. You see the projection of other people's emotion as a reflection of them and not you. Life becomes more about spiritual connection instead of the personal, all about you.
The most raw, open and real embodiment I have seen of this way of thinking and vulnerability was watching the courageous Jessica Upchurch, who mere weeks after having lost her drug addicted daughter to suicide, taught yoga to a group of recovering drug addicts. It was unbelievable.
To step in to such a role so soon after something like that was a massive surprise to me.
To see the compassion and space she held for the students in front of her, as well as her deceased daughter, with poise, grace and empowerment was like nothing I had ever seen before.
As tears poured down my face, I watched vulnerability recycle into selfless love. With ease, her vulnerability wrapped me up in what truly mattered in life.
In the car on the way to class I had been nervously contemplating in my head whether or not I taught yoga well enough. Was I good enough? Far along enough in my yoga teaching? What if I was a terrible yoga teacher? Had this whole thing been a joke to think I could be a yoga teacher?
Jessica Upchurch sucker punched me without knowing it. Life, teaching, sharing energy and growth isn't just about me. Her ability to find peace in loss and expose her vulnerability, turning it into empowerment for others, was unbelievable. She shared her vulnerability and exposed me to a new and different perspective on what vulnerability is about.
In reading Daring Greatly and seeing the parallels between my learning and experiences, I can see the more vulnerable we are with one another the more we can connect. Communicating through connection and a place where we are all the same opens us up to take on vulnerability.
We have a choice. We can take the weight of our own personal trials and tribulations that lead to our vulnerabilities and zero in on them in a way that is only about ourselves or, the other conscious choice we can make is to allow our vulnerability to be an opportunity to connect and work through how we feel.
Coming from a place of connection with others allows us to overcome avoidance, numbing and feeling the need to protect ourselves in the skin of who we really are. Letting the idea we are not alone in our basic human disposition leads to a place of empowerment through vulnerability instead of fear.
Through Brene Brown's research, it was interesting to see the patterns and expectations men and women are held to and place upon themselves when it comes to vulnerability and how they 'should' be. Between society's roles and our own personal perceptions, the amount of pressure on our shoulders of who we are expected to be is insane.
Though I could relate to the roles of women, like we have to be the prettiest, skinniest and best mothers ever, I was fascinated with how repressed men felt about emotion.
The examples she gives of the male experience, particularly a man who was discouraged by his father to stop painting, and other examples of men either stuck in, punching out of or ignoring the box, gave me incredible perspective on how men are not allowed to freely feel. When I look at the influential men in my life and their ability to handle emotion, I see the influence of an emotionally repressive mindset and culture inflicted upon them.
As for the men in my life, I can see the emotions they carry by way of their words and actions—or lack thereof. Their dad's didn't spend hours talking about feelings or asking them how they felt when they had a bad day or their feelings were hurt.
You take it like a man.
You suck it up.
It doesn't release.
The roles in which men are pushed into are not ones they choose, rather they are ones given to them.
As a woman, I have the tendency to almost over-share and over-express my emotion when it comes to how I feel. I have a best friend and mentor in my mother who takes all the good and bad coming out of my mouth. I will over-analyze and nitpick and express until I literally am told to stop.
Going deeper and deeper into Daring Greatly the more I embraced its relevance in my own life. As a sensitive and emotional human being, my awareness is constantly heightened by the thought of other people around me. The ebb and flow of relationships that have come and gone in my life have given me the most heightened vulnerability of all. If someone had something nasty to say behind my back, or didn't want to be my friend anymore, the problem always came back to me.
I wasn't good enough.
I wasn't worth it.
I wasn't worth having as a friend.
I wasn't 'cool' enough or relevant enough.
I was deserted in this place of all the reasons why I wasn't worth being loved or cherished. The incredible support of the incredible friendships that were booming with unconditional love would be overshadowed by a loss letting everyone know I wasn't worth it.
The 'pay off' was hiding by letting everyone know how 'different' I was. I just didn't fit in; I was weird and unique and could just expect to be alone. If I said it first, then no one else could say it to me. I figured I was outsmarting everyone before they could beat me to the punch. The feedback that hurt and the friendships I mourned were all my fault.
Oh, the self-centric ways of being sensitive are exhausting, aren't they?
Through the incredible gift Daring Greatly, through my experience of inquiry and realization and through my five months in teacher training, I realized none of these things were ever really about me.
People's journeys and their levels of self-actualization are different, but we all just want to feel connected.
I can now look at situations and the people who have come into my life and see ways in which they were hurting. Maybe I was an easy target. Maybe it was entirely about something else and had nothing to do with me. I didn't have to take it personally. I didn't have to focus on the negative when someone left me confused or pinched my heart with their words. I could simply recognize where that person was, have faith in myself and the universe and know everything that should be drawn to and part of my life will be. I am constantly a work in progress. I have endless ways to grow and the abundance of love and support I have on this journey—and the connection I can choose to have with all people along the way—is plenty.
It's enough actually. And that is what I have learned.
I am enough.

I love this! Having just shared my own piece of work on this site and rolling through feelings of "am I a good enough writer?" to "is my experience valid?" (of course it is, it's MY experience) I completely relate to this and thank you for sharing. You are correct, we all just want to feel connected in some way.
I need to frame this and hang it on my wall and read it daily. This is so relevant in my life right now-my own vulnerability and need for help and connection with others is totally what I am trying to embrace. I just made a step tonight to open up and share some messy emotions with a new man I am dating and it was terrifying. Even if it felt awkward, what matters is I am breaking the pattern of "just deal with it yourself…people will think you are too _______". Hurray for being uncomfortable! That is where the growth is.
Beautiful article, Tara. I, too, read Daring Greatly and came away inspired and feeling confident and positive about life and connecting with other people. It's quite something, living vulnerably…

wild spot- it does not state that she is spooky... just leary. I do have an aunt who could come with me... she is training a 4 yr old DWB at the moment.
Mom2pride-- Actually, the owner told me that she would be perfect for a teen project horse, that she would've loved her when she was my age. I do know alot about training from friends, family, books, computer. Just not yet in real. If I don't ever train a horse, just cause I haven't trained one before, then I will have never trained a horse!
If they say she's 'leary', she's most likely spooky as well.

Jay Leno, Bar Refaeli & Jesse Heiman team up for hilarious spoof of GoDaddy Super Bowl commercial
It's one of the most controversial Super Bowl commercials in recent years, so of course late night talker Jay Leno would want in on the action.
GoDaddy.com's 'The Kiss' commercial has stemmed praise from some and scorn from others. It features supermodel Bar Refaeli and little-known actor Jesse Heiman, representing the website's "sexy" and "smart" sides, embracing in a long kiss.
In the open to 'Tonight Show' Wednesday night, Leno asked Refaeli if they could recreate the commercial.
"Sure," Refeali responds. "Pucker up."
Leno does what he's told, and when he closes his eyes, Refeali pulls in Heiman, who goes in for the smooch.
Take a look at the video below.

Is that even a contest?
Look at Adama very early on and he wasn't particularly keen on having the civiallians along either.
He wouldn't have left a member of his crew behind but the civillians I think could well have been another matter.

From the time of the Declaration of Independence to the World War the United States viewed the world from the standpoint of the borrowing nation and American policies gave evidence of that coincidence which is so commonly observed between international idealism and the lack of surplus wealth. The reaction of indebtedness upon American policies was not due, as in the case of many weaker countries, to an attitude of shrinking from the political demands of powerful money-lending nations. In the case of the United States the fear of the intervention of strong creditors was removed at an early stage by the establishment of sound government, by the distance of Europe, and by the ability to take care of most purely governmental needs with domestic capital. The negative influence of the debtor position upon this country was nevertheless of great importance. Having almost no loans or investments to protect, the Department of State was free from those pressures which were contributing to drive creditor nations into careers of imperialism. The United States, also, because of the desire to keep European governments out of Latin America, was disposed generally to sympathize with the case of the debtor nation. Patriotic moralists during this period took pleasure in drawing contrasts between the American love of human rights and international democracy, handed down from the Revolution, and the aggressive policies adopted for the protection and promotion of foreign investments by certain strong nations of Europe.
Early Financial Distress. --The first financial requirements of the thirteen states were the demands made for the military purposes of the Revolution. Loans were sought in France, Spain, and Holland, and the distress at home which prompted these requests abroad was indeed profound. The following note

"You need a brain scan with a pistol. ASAP."
LMAO! Haven't heard that one before. I like it!Posted March 12, 2014 8:51 pm
I think I learned that Canelo can hit harder than I thought.Posted March 12, 2014 2:52 pm
"Angulo didn't look too bad at the weighin…"
Angulo looked like crap at the weigh-in Tark. He was moving like a turtle and clearly displayed that he had little energy, while Canelo was smiling, laughing it up, and generally looking and acting much stronger than Alfredo.Posted March 12, 2014 2:10 pm
Angulo didn't look too bad at the weighin… Canelo didn't look too bad… They both looked a little peaked from dehydrating but that's pretty normal when you dry out that much… One didn't look worse than the other… Angulo could have made 154 if Canelo could. He was on weight according to Hunter.
They both looked slightly drained from dehydration. That's pretty normal when you consider how much they dehydrated. Canelo didn't look nearly as bad as he did for Floyd. I thought he looked terrible for the Floyd weighin.
Canelo busted his ass but couldn't make 154. He let the Angulo camp know, "I can't do it. I tried everything and I can't make the weight. Give me a pound. I'll pay you the 100,000 dollars that is in our agreement if we raise the limit to 155." … That was the smart thing to do.Posted March 12, 2014 11:35 am
Angulo wasn't healthy period nevertheless nice to see Canelo finally working his way up the jmw ranks. You still have Vanes the dude who just beat Vanes I think his name was Aldridge the Charlos, Molina and the #1 jmw in the world Lara. Nice to see Canelos division is rich good fights ahead of us if GB is willing to put Canelo in them.Posted March 12, 2014 10:55 am
@ the author of this article.
If you keep referring to boxing as the "sweet science" you'll be out of a job soon.
This hit and not get hit mentality is whats been killing the sport of boxing.
Professional boxing is "Prize Fighting". The masses want to see specatacular victories in the ring that place life full of trial and error in a microcosm of a 12 round fight. People want fighters to take risks at the spectacular not side with extreme conservative tactics.Posted March 12, 2014 10:27 am
"Obviously canelo didnt risk it this time around …Now did he ……….."
Tell you what, hookoffthe jab, you seem to be irritated for some reason so I'll make this easy for you:
You are 100% right.. Alfredo over-trained.

A number of well-known welterweights may weigh in at 147 or less but they enter the ring at close to 160 lbs.

"Making weight should slowly be implemented from the day you enter camp "
And so it is. But like I said, there's still an awful lot of fighters who only trim down so much before weigh-in, then blast off the rest in a relatively short period of time before the actual weigh-in. Why do you think guys like Alvarez, Angulo, Chavez Jr., Danny Garcia, Mikey Garcia, and others gain so much weight after rehydrating? Cotto weighed in at 154 for his fight with Floyd but stepped into the ring at 165 or 168 (I believe Floyd said Cotto weighed 168. Canelo made weight for his fight with Trout but stepped into the ring weighing over 170. A number of well-known welterweights may weigh in at 147 or less but they enter the ring at close to 160 lbs. Do you think these guys weren't already implementing weight loss from the first day of camp?
Did you see me condemning this sort of behavior ……………………And say it was best thing for anyone let alone a fighter?…..Were we discussing this thread or ever fuarking thread on Esb ………..You mentioned why (?)

Danny Garcia never said he wouldn't fight Floyd. He'd fight him in a heartbeat… Danny floored Matthysse and whipped him… He put hyped up potential Foyd opponent Khan down 3x before stopping him in less than 4 rounds… He destroyed ATG Erik Morales when Erik was on PEDs.
Danny can get that left hook on anybody.. including Floyd.. He's got a damned good right hander too.Posted March 12, 2014 1:34 am
I never had to make weight in my life.
But I can't imagine going from 240 to 220 for a weigh-in — and then entering the ring at a strong and tight 240 and going 12 hard rounds…
That blows me away… I could never do that.
These guys are 70 or 80 pounds lighter and doing a phenomenal amount of rehydrating for their size.Posted March 12, 2014 1:22 am

"so why are you repeating what i said ..kind of ….."
Because you're trying to use rhetoric that's basically saying the same thing I already said.Posted March 12, 2014 12:26 am
Danny Garcia said he would defnitely take a Floyd fight… He was certainly more deserving than Amir Khan whon Danyy stopped inside 4 rounds after flooring Amir 3 times.
And he's certainly more deserving than Marcos Maidana who LOST to Amir Khan.
Matthysse was also thought to be a logical opponent for Floyd… since Matthysse ran over Floyd's sparring partner Lamont Peterson in only 3 rounds … decking him 3 times.
Lamont was the boy who busted up Floyd's ribs… causing a 2 month postponement of Floyd's fight with Marquez.
So, as you can see, Undefeated World Champion, Danny Garcia, 28-0, is right there with the top prospective Floyd challengers.Posted March 11, 2014 11:56 pm

Hookoffthejab, making weight is pretty much the final phase of training before a fight. Most fighter's lose weight throughout their training regimen for a fight but a lot of them still have to lose a significant amount in a short period of time before fight night. Call it what you like: overtraining, dehydration, whatever. Bottom line is Angulo's body did not recover from the rigors of making weight. Angulo's body just can't safely make 154 any longer.Posted March 11, 2014 9:12 pm
"In fact, from now on I think I'll just read what you have to say about things. It'll save unnecessary wear and tear on my brain tissue.
Thanks for educating me man!"
LMAO! Now you're wising up. Really though, I'm vehement about it because I know I'm right. Go back and watch Angulo's fight with Lara, or Silva, or Casarez, or even Kirkland who KOd him. The only thing that showed up to fight last Saturday night was Angulos will. His body was dead on arrival.Posted March 11, 2014 8:57 pm
El Perro …….Posted March 11, 2014 6:44 pm
But yes, if a fighter is too weak to fight, he is sick. What else would you call it? Furthermore, Gogue saw a lot more than we did at the weigh-in. What about what wasn't on camera? What about what didn't happen on the stage? What did you expect Hunter to do? How did you expect him to act? It's a friggin' weigh-in on national television for a big fight.<< THIS its called over training which can be quiet a common occurrence.. For those that do not keep LOGS ……Written transcripts of past experience to understand the stresses applied during training ………Boxing is a strength sport that involves ALL three energy systems (
Anaerobic system – Predominates in supplying energy for exercises lasting less than 2 minutes. Also known as the Glycolytic System. An example of an activity of the intensity and duration that this system works under would be a 400 m sprint.
Aerobic system – This is the long duration energy system. By 5 minutes of exercise the O2 system is clearly the dominant system. In a 1 km run, this system is already providing approximately half the energy; in a marathon run it provides 98% or more.)
Okay Hidalg0, I admit it: you were right about Angulo. I was wrong. I'm happy with that. I'm always keen to learn.
As for me being "hot on Canelo" and wanting to boost him as much as I can, I've actually never written a word about Canelo before today. But hey, I guess you're right about that too.
In fact, from now on I think I'll just read what you have to say about things. It'll save unnecessary wear and tear on my brain tissue.
Thanks for educating me man!Posted March 11, 2014 6:32 pm
"I suggest you watch the footage yourself (there's plenty of it, including lots of close-ups, and an interview with Angulo). When watching, ask yourself: does it look like Angulo was so weak he could hardly walk? Does Hunter look concerned about Angulo, or in a rush to usher him off the stage to start the rehydration process? Does Angulo even drink much immediately after the weigh in? Do the commentators suggest that Angulo looks weak and dangerously dehydrated? Do the interviewers seem alarmed at the way he looks, or mention it after the interview when talking to the camera? "
Martin, anybody who doesn't know a darn thing about boxing but has good eyesight could see that Angulo had no energy for the fight. There was absolutely no zip on his punches. The man was whacked.
But yes, if a fighter is too weak to fight, he is sick. What else would you call it? Furthermore, Gogue saw a lot more than we did at the weigh-in. What about what wasn't on camera?

I understand you are hot on Canelo and want to boost him as much as you can but the fact is, he faced an opponent who was physically sapped. Argue all you want. You're wrong.
BTW, why in the world would James Gogue lie or greatly exaggerate about what he saw? Answer: He wouldn't.Posted March 11, 2014 6:06 pm
You may take Gogue's retrospective impressions of the weigh-in as nothing but a statement of unadulterated fact, but having compared what he says to the actual footage just now, it seems to me that much of what he says is greatly exaggerated. I am not accusing him of lying, it's just the way people's memory works: though it seems thoroughly reliable to us, it is in fact shot through with retrospective rationalisation and confabulation.
I suggest you watch the footage yourself (there's plenty of it, including lots of close-ups, and an interview with Angulo). When watching, ask yourself: does it look like Angulo was so weak he could hardly walk? Does Hunter look concerned about Angulo, or in a rush to usher him off the stage to start the rehydration process? Does Angulo even drink much immediately after the weigh in? Do the commentators suggest that Angulo looks weak and dangerously dehydrated? Do the interviewers seem alarmed at the way he looks, or mention it after the interview when talking to the camera?
I think that if you watch this footage you will conclude, as I have done, that Gogue's account must have been coloured by considerable hindsight bias. Sure Angulo was dehydrated, just as was Canelo. That's what most boxers have to do to make weight. But did he look "very, very sick and weak"? Certainly not to me. Moreover, he actually came in *over* the weight limit, since Canelo had announced he could not make weight, so I would expect him to be somewhat *less* dehydrated for this fight than usual.
You may say that the camera doesn't reveal how Angulo "really looked" at the time, despite all the close-ups (and I doubt that Gogue was *that* close to Angulo). But apart from that being a little far fetched, if it was so obvious that Angulo was "very very sick and weak" at the time, why did nobody say anything to this effect until *after* the fight?
This happens all the time. Just look at all the posters here now saying that they "knew all along" that Angulo was "shot" and that it would be a cakewalk for Canelo. But were they saying all that *before* the fight?Posted March 11, 2014 5:13 pm
Angulo is past his prime but still too much for anyone not in the top echelon or not in top conditionPosted March 11, 2014 3:58 pm
Difference with Kirkland is he will bring it till he is done. Not saying Angulo doesn't but I don't think Kirkland has issues making weight.Posted March 11, 2014 3:51 pm
I read he threw up after the weigh in from Doug Fishers mail box on the ring magazine sitePosted March 11, 2014 3:49 pm
people who bash old time fighters have no idea how different it was in those days, sure a few ducked certain fighters but fought most all top contenders eventually, and fought very often, so many had off nights, plus most all fighters were very capable boxers with stamina, heart and discipline. FMJ is similar to these old timers in dedication and discipline, but his style is not casual fan friendly, when is the last time anyone mentioned Gene Tunney, a similar style to FMJ…if you can't appreciate these great fighters of yore, you have a problem, at least be a little more compassionate of their era…..Posted March 11, 2014 3:49 pm
BTW Martin, thanks for not getting upset at me for recommending you publish and article or break up your long posts. I wasn't trying to put you down. You wrote some good stuff. It was just so much reading! :)Posted March 11, 2014 3:38 pm
"I did not know that Angulo was "very sick and weak". Can you corroborate that somehow? Did Angulo say this in the post-fight press conference?"
I got the information second hand from Joseph Herron's show, The Pugilist's Corner-The Weekend Wrap, last Sunday. The information was provided by James Gogue who is a boxing "talent-scout", advisor, analyst, former trainer, and who is well-known and respected in boxing circles–both professional and amateur. James was present at the weigh-in and reported what he saw with his own eyes. BTW, just so you understand the level of James Gogue's involvement in the sport, and his level of expertise, consider that he just signed talented young prospect Keandre Gibson with Golden Boy Promotions. Keandre also fought last weekend on the undercard and won his bout. He is presently undefeated as a pro.Posted March 11, 2014 3:37 pm
FA: yup Angulo is a shot fighter! This fight is a tune up and to hype up a slow Canelo who got beat by P4P king! I want to see him fight Chavez, Martinez,GGG or Cotto. This Canelo will lose again!Posted March 11, 2014 3:25 pm

No, nothing new was learned Saturday Night. Angulo looks to be on the backside of his career and is a shell of himself. He can be a gatekeeper at Jr Middle Weight for up and coming fighters. Alvarez looked the same pre Trout, pre Mayweather. Fast, strong, good combinations at a stationary target. Watch for Kirkland to be his next fight in July or early August, then end the year with Molina for his share of the title.Posted March 11, 2014 2:47 pm

Cheers.Posted March 11, 2014 12:17 pm
Martin, thank you sir for your engrossing post. Very intellectual analysis of what the writer wrote. Kudos to you . You are just one of the very few that makes reading an interesting experience. You certainly put the writer on his place!!!Posted March 11, 2014 11:28 am
te tumbo- I doubt going to 160 will help El Perro if it means taking those kind of shots from bigger men. I actually thought Angulo looked better against Lara than in his previous fight, where he looked just like last Saturday, but it wasn't a body as live as Canelo doing the damage, so he got to him in the end. It's tough to say what we saw on this fight. The whole idea was to get Canelo back on track, and that he did. It was certainly a more dominating performance than I expected and for all the flack they get, the corner had the right plan: jump on the slow starting Angulo! Canelo looked fast and he looked HUGE next to what supposed to be a guy his size. He also didn't tire as much considering he was throwing bombs from the get go, but then Angulo was unable to apply pressure and make him worry in any way. In the end this lands in the world of Cotto vs Delvin: a guy that shouldn't be in your league, but you still have to perform, so props to Canelo for that.Posted March 11, 2014 11:24 am
apart from mayweather this is what you have in todays boxing. very sad.Posted March 11, 2014 11:14 am
"at least as probably"

"at least as probable"Posted March 11, 2014 11:02 am
Yes, I didn't mean to write so much. I just tapped it out quickly and was surprised how much there was after I'd submitted it. I have no interest in writing articles, which would take much longer, and would be unpaid labour.
I did not know that Angulo was "very sick and weak". Can you corroborate that somehow? Did Angulo say this in the post-fight press conference?
Anyway, if he was so ill, he shouldn't have taken the fight. All I can go on is what transpired in the ring, and that is what I was talking about.
Also, one could make the case that Canelo was not "healthy and strong" against Mayweather because he can't get down to 152 without becoming weak and sick. Afer all, in his very next fight he couldn't even make 154, never mind 152. So should we conclude from this that Mayweather is not a far superior boxer to Canelo? You might say, "ah, but Angulo was *really* drained", but how exactly do we quantify that and make such comparisons?
As I say, all one can go on at the end of the day is how the fighters performed. If they are "very sick" and "very weak", they have no business being in any boxing ring, never mind at this level.
As for your comment that the fight "gave no indication of how he [Canelo] would do against Erislandy Lara", you should be addressing that point to the writer, not me. The writer contends that the fight provided confirmation that "Canelo cannot deal with boxers", that Lara "would present a nightmare for Canelo", and that he would "struggle mightily against boxers". My point was that it is patently ridiculous to suggest that a shutout performance against "a slugger, without head movement" who "moves like his shoes are made from cement" can provide *any* kind of "confirmation" for such claims. I also tentatively suggested a few alternative possible scenarios for how a Canelo-Lara fight might go, and gave reasons for why such scenarios were at least as probably, based on the evidence we have, as the writer's suggestion that Canelo would "struggle mightily" not only against Lara, but any genuine "boxer".
So, yes, I wrote too much, and no doubt have done so again, but if you're criticising anyone for supposing that the Canelo-Angulo fight provides indications of how Canelo might do against Lara, it should be the overconfident assertions about it providing "confirmation" that Canelo "can't deal with boxers" rather than my attempts to counterbalance that by mentioning other possible lessons and scenarios.Posted March 11, 2014 11:00 am
Canelo stated he has no intentions of moving up right now. He said since it wasn't a title fight then he didn't see the need to try and shed that last pound. Said the 100 grand didn't hurt him at allPosted March 11, 2014 10:50 am

6lbs north might be a partial remedy for Angulo as well. he's simply ponderous. although, he can still a chopping-hooks v. a stationary target but the process of walking down his target is too costly.Posted March 11, 2014 10:39 am
te tumbo
IMO, Angulo looked depleted in the Lara fight. in fact, the last time he looked really strong and healthy was v. some guy named Gomez in 2011. every bout since, i've noticed that pale pallor fighters display from dehydration. he was ponderous v. Lara but he's unrelenting. like "chinese water torture". it breaks an opponent down and gets the job done. meanwhile, $100k over a single pound just had to be involuntary on Canelo's part. his body rebelled and refused to yield a single pound more but based on how he looked Saturday, Canelo will make a very strong and fast 160lbr.Posted March 11, 2014 10:36 am
Canelo has beautiful head movement, at times his defense looks amazing with his head movement alone. The one thing everyone an myself don't like when we see it is stamina. I remember Oscar getting tired Canelo seems to have the same issue, Oscar would always dig deep when he needed it. The problem is against top fighters in made rounds closer then they should have been.Posted March 11, 2014 10:18 am
Yeah from what I read Angulo threw up after the weigh in. What has me perplexed is he has never said he has had issues making weight before. Was there something wrong, did he come in to camp too high in weight? Canelo did the right thing and destroyed Angulos body right away and that took whatever Angulo had in him away. Angulo had no issues in weight when bringing it to Lara. Either way I would take Canelo over Lara.Posted March 11, 2014 10:08 am
BTW Martin, Canelo's lopsided victory over Angulo gave no indication of how he would do against Erislandy Lara.Posted March 11, 2014 10:07 am
Martin, if you're going to write such a long-winded post, you should write an article and submit it to ESB for publication. Really, that is an incredibly long piece you wrote there. A thousand-word post on these forums is just not realistic. Or, next time try breaking it up into at least two separate posts.
Regardless, you said, "The principal thing we learnt from this fight, I would suggest, is that Canelo is a far superior talent to Angulo in just about every respect…"
It's easy to make that kind of analysis when we did not see a healthy strong Alfredo Angulo in the ring. He had a hellacious time making weight and was sick as a result of it. Very sick. And weak. That's why his punches had no pop. Canelo and his team knew this, they saw it at the weigh-in, and their strategy was to come out fast hard and heavy and to try to take Alfredo out right away. The only reasons Angulo survived to the 10th round were because of his will and toughness.
I would not argue with you that Canelo is a superior talent to Angulo, but we saw only the shell of Alfredo Angulo attempting to make a fight on Saturday night.Posted March 11, 2014 10:04 am
Could not agree with Martin more. This article is unnecessarily critical of Canelo. Canelo was faster, stronger, better defence, and boxed incredibly well. His only loss to the best in the business doesn't tell anyone anything more than it does about Mayweather's previous opponents. I have no idea why people just can't seem to give Canelo the credit he deserves. Very young, good heart, great skills, a lot of power and speed and he actually seems like a good guy who, most importantly is ready to actually fight. I prefer Canelo's style to Mayweather's.
I'll also put on the line now – that I think Canelo will defeat Lara. Whatever Lara's game plan will be, Canelo will beat him with the same plan, be it boxing, or standing and trading.Posted March 11, 2014 9:55 am
Canelo is very handsome, I wish my body was smooth like his.
Martin, I like Canelo a lot, but long before the Mayweather fight I predicted that the only round Canelo would win would be gifted. Canelo has many fine qualities, but his complete ineptitude in the Mayweather fight has to remove him from any P4P consideration. As I saw that fight it was as if Frankenstein's monster were trying to dance with Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. And Canelo was Frankenstein's monster.Posted March 11, 2014 8:31 am
Angulo wasn't broken down, or just out classed! He took money to be a punching Bag! On the Take! Article is out that Golden boy Boxers are being investigated by FBI ,,, for throwing fight s ,,,, There it is !!!Posted March 11, 2014 8:24 am
"And for that reason, I consider Canelo to be a top P$P fighter rather than a top P4P fighter (and yes, the dollar sign was intentional – once again a top P$P fighter)."
Perhaps he's both. He's still in the Ring P4P top 10, but what the fu*k do they know, right? Much better to rank fighters according to our personal likes and dislikes.Posted March 11, 2014 8:23 am
Did anyone expect a different outcome? I mean it's no accident that Angulo was a hand picked opponent for this fight. He was chosen because he presented little risk and he would make Alvarez look like a world beater.Posted March 11, 2014 8:11 am
" extremely talented boxer, a boxer who many regard as one of the top P4P fighters in the sport." Well, not many objective fight fans who saw the Mayweather-Canelo (fight if it even qualifies to be called that) regard Canelo as one of the top P4P fighters in the sport. Whatever Canelo was doing in the ring that night, it certainly wasn't fighting (I think he was protecting himself by not engaging, and he certainly did a fine job of it). And for that reason, I consider Canelo to be a top P$P fighter rather than a top P4P fighter (and yes, the dollar sign was intentional – once again a top P$P fighter).Posted March 11, 2014 8:10 am
P.S. ESB would do well to ban such outspokenly racist cretins as "Cheatin Chihuahuas De Messyhoe", but then again, it wouldn't much surprise me if that poster is one and the same person as the author of this "article".Posted March 11, 2014 8:03 am
If you really want to see how great carrot head is watch his fight with Junior …….. Oh thats right he had to actually make weight in that fight …………That was the true demise of him …..On that occasion………………………………………Posted March 11, 2014 6:53 am

Canelo destroyed Angulo Saturday night and anybody who seen the fight is all they saw, end of story..Posted March 11, 2014 6:30 am
The Mad Scientist
What we witness was Canelo beating the fight out of Angulo in the first round with wicked head and body shots..after that El Perro had nothing left to offer for the remainder of the fight..any other assumptions or speculations is just trying to discredit Canelo for not showing the vulnerability you haters hope he would..the fact is Alvarez dominated and won and now all you critics will have to wait until his next fight to hopefully see Canelo get beat, exposed or challenged..for now just deal with that fact and let the kid and his fans celebrate the victory because there is nothing the haters can do about it regardless of what they say..Posted March 11, 2014 6:27 am
Bitterness has nothing to do with it…Posted March 11, 2014 5:51 am
"I say largo is just bitter because his prediction of Canelo gassing out and getting taken out late didn't come to fruition."…the mad scientist, I've never been afraid to be wrong in my predictions; I make bold predictions & they are right on target 98% of the time; I thought Angulo had something left but the guy was totally SPENT & IT SHOWED; he didn't throw ONE SINGLE PUNCH with power during the whole fight. Nobody expected that to be the case but that was exactly what we witnessed. To say that I'm bitter because I bring that FACT to the forefront, is unfair. Canelo did OK against a DEAD DOG…THAT'S A FACT.Posted March 11, 2014 5:48 am
There you have it folks. The Great TARK says Ray Robinson was not a great fighter. in fact he thinks Robinson was a joke! Thank goodness TARK is the saviour here at ESB.
What!?! you moron it goes both ways dummy. What was Canelo doing seeking a fight with a Welter? Please name 6 of Canelo's last opponents and see what is their true weight/division. Alvarez has made a habit of beating smaller guys. I keep telling you clowns that he will have to ultimately fight someone his size in the near future and that will tell us a lot about his talent, until then he has no proved a single thing to me.Posted March 11, 2014 5:20 am

ES your stealing my comments(just kiding)
After reviewing the fight; This was my thoughts also.Posted March 11, 2014 5:06 am
"Understand that the match-makers at Golden Boy were tasked with one thing and one thing only:
Beezy the dude can't make 154, hes cheating us now, we need to start the "Canelo move up weight class campaign"Posted March 11, 2014 4:45 am
Tark it will be more logical when he fights at the right weight,middleweight, he's going to get beat up there vs GGG,Quillin etc, He should fight Gabe Rosado next that would be a good test fight even if it is at 155 but better if its at middleweight, thats it Canelo fight a real middleweight instead of guys that dont stand a chance.Posted March 11, 2014 4:42 am
It was still far more competitive than Mayweather-Maidana will be. Oh, Floyd. People would probably pay 70 bucks to watch him shadowbox for 12 rounds and have the audacity to call it his "best available opponent."Posted March 11, 2014 4:21 am
I'm tired of having fights shoved down my throat.Posted March 11, 2014 2:35 am
I didn't watch Canelo-Angulo… I want to see the most logical matchups.Posted March 11, 2014 2:33 am
"They" Will give you the fight they want! They don't care your wants. You just pay and shut up. Rules lolPosted March 11, 2014 2:22 am
I've said before that Canelo will come up with an issue like an injury and they'll pretend to be negotiating with Lara… Something will make the fight go sideways and they'll go for Sergio Martinez when he's free.
Unless Canelo overrules his handlers and demands a Lara fight. If that happens they'll put Alvarez-Lara in the Alamodome with the same setup they had for Trout…
But I'd be shocked if that happens… I feel they just won't fight.Posted March 11, 2014 2:16 am
I think Canelo and his team could be ducking Lara… but time will tell.. Lara would only make sense as his next opponent.. unless they went with Kirkland…
But it should be Lara… that's the best fight at 154.. and the fight real fans want to seePosted March 11, 2014 1:48 am
Man… they better give us Canelo vs Lara… smh….
btw.. great article in my opinionPosted March 11, 2014 1:45 am
"That, however, is not boxing – the art of hitting without getting hit.
Boxing isn't Kung Fu, grasshopper. You need to crawl out of Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s back pocket once in a while and get some fresh air.Posted March 11, 2014 1:00 am

Nothing wrong with taking a bounce back fight after being shut out. Angulo was a credible enough fighter with a style suited for Alvarez. He was supposed to win and hopefully look good. He did. Nothing to get excited about but he did the job well. However, PPV? That was ridiculous.Posted March 11, 2014 12:46 am
I learned that FMJ needs to stack everything in his favour and now I know why he made Canelo boil down to a corpse before fighting him. I learned that Canelo cannot make the 154lb limit anymore and it is time for some juicy Middleweight match ups. I learned that Lara is getting left behind with no real challengers unless he moves up to Middleweight also.Posted March 11, 2014 12:40 am
The Mad Scientist
If you say so, what we know for sure is that Canelo dominated and won the fight..nobody beats Alvarez in a real fight at 154lbs IMO if so what's his name..???Posted March 10, 2014 11:59 pm
Canelo was beating on a cadaver with some meat on the bones & almost zero energy; the funny thing is that a dead corpse, like Angulo was, touched Saul everytime he had the energy to do so.Posted March 10, 2014 11:43 pm
The Mad Scientist
I say largo us just bitter because his prediction of Canelo gassing out and getting taken out late didn't come to fruition..its a new day, bring on Martinez, Lara, Kirkland, Quillin and triple G, we ain't never scared you heard..Lol!Posted March 10, 2014 11:43 pm
"I will say, however, that Canelo's stamina has been improving over his last couple of fights." largo says you're full of sh.it because that wasn't evident in this fight…the only reason Canelo looks good in this fight was because "el perro" was toothless & dead on arrival.Posted March 10, 2014 11:34 pm
old guy
No, we did learn something. We learned that Angulo is more shopworn and ragged out than we thought.Posted March 10, 2014 11:05 pm

Overall, adverse events observed were those typically associated with interferon therapy, and most were similar for 900-mcg albinterferon alfa-2b and peginterferon alfa-2a.
About the Design of the ACHIEVE Trials
The albinterferon alfa-2b Phase 3 clinical development program included two randomized, multi-center, active-controlled non-inferiority Phase 3 trials -- ACHIEVE 1 and ACHIEVE 2/3. In ACHIEVE 1, 1331 treatment-naive patients with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C were initially assigned to one of three treatment groups, including two groups that received subcutaneously administered albinterferon alfa-2b once every two weeks at doses of 900 mcg or 1200 mcg, and an active control group that received peginterferon alfa-2a once weekly at a dose of 180 mcg - with all patients receiving daily oral ribavirin concomitantly. In ACHIEVE 2/3, 933 treatment-naive patients with genotypes 2 and 3 chronic hepatitis C were initially assigned to one of three treatment groups receiving the same doses on the same schedule of administration used in the ACHIEVE 1 study.
In January 2008, a dose modification was made in both studies for patients originally assigned to receive the 1200-mcg dose of albinterferon alfa-2b. These patients had their dose reduced to 900-mcg albinterferon alfa-2b every two weeks. Following the dose modification, both ACHIEVE 1 and ACHIEVE 2/3 continued to follow all patients randomized on an intention-to-treat (ITT) basis according to their original dose assignment. The primary data analysis in both studies compared the 900-mcg albinterferon alfa-2b treatment group to the peginterferon alfa-2a treatment group. The ACHIEVE 1 trial included 48 weeks of treatment, and the ACHIEVE 2/3 trial included 24 weeks of treatment. The primary efficacy endpoint for both trials was sustained virologic response (SVR), defined as undetectable viral load (HCV RNA<10 IU/mL

Review: 'Ring of Fire': music heavy and story light
Music is definitely the brightest flame in "Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash," a national tour of the "jukebox musical" playing at Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall in Fort Myers through Sunday.
This is not a traditional retelling of Cash's turbulent life. It's no "Walk the Line." It's not even a Oxygen movie biopic. Anyone who expects that is going to be sorely disappointed. It is, in fact, a string of a handful of the more than 1,500 Cash songs, all loosely tied together with little dialogue to represent the skeleton of Cash's life.
Which means there's little real story to build characters or for viewers to emotionally invest in during the roughly two-hour show. In the end, it becomes little more than a series of entertaining set pieces strung together by a common theme — and the audience's own knowledge of this legend's life.
A Broadway version — with a somewhat different set list and staging -— opened in mid-March of 2006 but only lasted until the end of April.
What "Ring of Fire" does well is turn a spotlight on the music of Nashville. Above and beyond the more than 30 songs drawn from the long career of the Man in Black, the show highlights some of the best instrument handling I've seen this side of Nashville.
The audience is treated to white-hot, string-popping fiddle-playing with rockin'-the-house percussion and more guitars than you can count. There's even a bucket.
Yes-, a bucket. It's a musical — country-fried-style, with a biscuit and gravy on the side. In particular, watch out for fiddler Jens Kramer's virtuoso acrobatics in the second half.
Cash left behind a veritable treasure trove of tunes, and all the favorites are here -— the inescapable "Ring of Fire," "Folsom Prison Blues," "Man in Black," "Daddy Sang Bass" and many others. Some are presented as solos, but the real treat is hearing classic Cash in multi-part harmony with three, four, five or even a dozen voices chiming in — an in "Five Feet High and Rising" or "I've Been Everywhere." Cash and June Carter Cash tunes such as "Jackson," "Far Side Banks of Jordan" and "I Still Miss Someone" get a decent workout as well.
Still, it's a pity that such a rich and varied life didn't warrant a presentation with more emotional text than a Branson theme park show that plays six times a day.
However, the show is staged in an interesting way. The cast is composed of six principals (three male/female couples, who are supposed to represent the young, middle aged and elder archetypes of his life) and nine musicians who draw from Cash's songs to illustrate pivotal moments of the American experience:- life, love, loss and everything in between.
In fact, the last eight songs don't even pretend to be part of the narrative and are simply presented as "the songs of Johnny Cash." The principal cast is certainly competent as musicians and actors, although none of them are truly memorable, nor do they sound much like the people they're playing. Erin Parker broke through with her solo of "All Over Again" toward the end of the show, showcasing a bold voice. The sound system at Mann Hall doesn't do anyone -— singers or musicians — any favors, though, drowning out the voices at times, even Erica Cantrell's big Reba McEntire-like trill.
Starkly evocative sets by Walt Spangler are impressive,- especially for a traveling show. They consist of a pair of multi-level towers resembling wooden shacks — complete with stairs, ladders and steps -— all resting on casters rising up on both sides of the stage. Nooks on the first levels offered hiding places for the drums and piano. The cast can accomplish quick scene changes just by giving the towers a quarter-turn in any direction.
Perhaps the best use of the set came in the second half during the "Orleans Parish Prison" number. Each cast member used different parts of the set- — a boot against wood, iron bar against steel, stick against bucket — to create a deep, intense, throbbing percussion that was ultimately a perfect fit for the demon-riddled Cash. Sadly, the dishwater tepid show had few such moments that connected on an emotional level. For a musical based on the soulful works of Johnny Cash, this may have been the ultimate sin.
"Ring of Fire" ultimately can't shake the feel of a soulless cut-and-paste copy of the much superior "Walk the Line." At times, I was left feeling like I was watching a technically talented tribute band. It may prove to be a disappointment for folks looking for anything more than a creatively staged collection of Johnny Cash's greatest hits.
