Weekend Fight Schedule plus Rapid Fire Friday

What up What up? Up your what Up your what? Rapid Fire Friday, where Larry fires off a bunch of quick comments for you to chew and stew on for the weekend.

1. Jermaine Taylor drops Emanuel Steward as his trainer: Look for another Pavlik victory when these two meet again in February.
2. UFC Pay-Per-Bust this weekend in Jersey: One of the weakest fight cards for a PPV in MMA history. Don't waste your money.
3. HBO has a super featherweight title fight on Saturday night. I don't know much about either of these cats so Larry ain't picking this one. However they are also showing the replay of the Cotto-Mosley fight so I can now have a chance to score it without distractions. Let's see what your boy comes up with. Let me know what you guys come up with as well!!

Numps-

Put me down for the Philippines match. Condes takes care of the A-Rab.....easily. By the way, I WAS in NY last week and saw a fligear shirt. Classy. Nice sponsors you have.

Why you so hi on Kel Pavlik? He has a small time trainer in Jackie Lowe and will meet his match shortly.
I don't think Pavlik can keep climbing with his surroundings.

Yo, Stumps. You recall Rocky 3? Clubber Lang was the down and dirty fighter, while Stallone was the rich and famous half hearted champ? We know what happened in that fight. Well same thing here, my man Kelly has not let the fame go to his dome. He is a young, hungry, gritty fighter from Youngstown Ohio with a lot of power and a strong chin. The down and out mill town is the home of famous champs such as Harry Arroyo, Jeff Lampkin, and of course Ray "boom Boom" Mancini.

I gave some Nigerian on his e:Mail scam the Condes tip and I'm sure I won again because I haven't lost yet....have I?
