Classic Lump Tuesday-Brock Lesnar getting some air

Yo Yo Yo Larry Lar chilling like Bobby Dillin.
So Brock Lesnar makes his UFC debut this weekend. I got to tell you I am rooting for Brock to be legit. Regardless if you love him or hate him, if he got MMA skills, the potential for big names calling him out will be insane. It will be a win for MMA fans.
So this week check one of the greatest Lesnar highlights from his WWE days (he only had one MMA match so far and it was pretty lame). Trust me if you have not seen this highlight yet it is a total "Holy S@#t" moment. Enjoy!

Weekend Boxing & MMA results/ANOTHER Contender gets in over his head!

Sorry for the late post party peeps. Your boy Larry Lump did not have Internet access for most of the day. So did you hear who Miguel Cotto is fighting in April?. Getting excited now, right? Can't wait for me to tell you, right? Well keep it in your pants tiger, it's Alfonso Gomez from...drum roll please....the Contender TV show! Surprise, surprise, another sacrificial lamb. Now don't get me wrong I like Alfonso Gomez the most out of all of them, but kickin the crap out of a past his prime Arturo Gotti does not put you into a title fight with Miguel Cotto. I can't take it anymore, I just can't. I think these promoters are playing a cruel joke on L Cubed.

OK so I watched that Povetkin/Chambers fight that was on HBO Saturday night. Bore fest deluxe! Chambers is a slow lumbering heavyweight who throws about 10 punches a round, and even though Povetkin stayed very busy throughout the fight, his cardio and power are weak. He was gassed out after 7-8 rounds. Povetkin earned a title fight with Klitschko, and even he admitted after the fight he has a long way to go to hang with Wlamidir. Let's be honest, he is going to get his ass handed to him. A guy with only 15 fights against second rate opponents should not be getting title fights.

Oh check it out, Ray Mercer lost his fight to some no name dude this weekend in China. I bet the trip over there cost more than the paycheck he got.

Posted a new poll on the right side column of BUMPnLUMP. Don't forget to vote!

Anyways I am out. Here are the rest of the weekend results:

BOXING:
BERLIN (AP) -- Alexander Povetkin, Russia, outpointed Eddie Chambers, Philadelphia, 12, in an IBF final heavyweight title eliminator; Sebastian Sylvester, Germany, outpointed Francois Bastient, France, 12, to retain his European middleweight title.
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -- Chris John, Indonesia, stopped Roinet Caballero, Panama, 7, to retain his WBA featherweight title.
MACAU, China (AP) -- Derric Rossy, Puerto Rico, outpointed Ray Mercer, Union, City, N.J., 12, heavyweights.

Weekend Boxing Schedule

Weekend is almost here party peeps and lady lumps! Your boy Larry is gonna get his groove back, gonna break off a little sumptin sumptin. Word to Big Bird.
So let's yap about some heavyweights that are on tap this weekend.
First of all Ray Mercer fighting some chooch in China? What up Ray, you must be fighting to stay off that Government Cheese at this point. Last time I heard about you Kimbo Slice beat you down in an MMA fight in about 2 minutes. Come on man, shut it down, shut it down. You had decent run back in the day.

Now how about this Heavyweight eliminator fight on Saturday in Germany (HBO)? You got
Alexander Povetkin (14-0, 11 KOs) vs. Eddie Chambers (30-0, 16 KOs) with the winner earning a title shot against IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko. Two things come to mind. Chambers has a 30-0 record and is still waiting for his first title shot? On the other hand you have Povetkin who is only 14-0 and if he wins on Saturday he gets a title shot. 1/2 the fights for the same opportunity? So Chambers either has a horrible manager or has fought some horrible opponents. After looking at his record it is probably a little of both. I have to be honest I don't really know much about either of these guys so Larry is gonna zip it until he sees them in action. On paper though I am not predicting we are going to see the next big thing in the division come out of this one. They both beat Chris Byrd, but big deal.

See now Larry Lump is acting like Larry Grump so let me get off my mini horse and take a chill until I see how this one pans out.

Peace and Corn Grease!

Another "Pretender" over his head, fights I wan't to see in 2008 (that won't happen), will Brock Lesnar be the next big thing (again)

What up my Lumpelstilskins? Feels like your boy Larry hasn't yapped for a while. Did ya miss me? Don't answer that.

So lets start off with a joke. Oscar De La Hoya vs. Steve Forbes. Let's start off with another joke, Oscar De La Hoya vs. Floyd Mayweather Part II. And one more joke, Oscar De La Hoya wants to fight 3 times in 2008. To all you out there that like brain teasers what is the common factor in all three jokes? That's right girls and boys, Oscar De La Hoya! I had a lot of respect for the Golden Boy after his split decision loss with Floyd, if he kept up the pressure he would have actually won, but this 2008 plan is a scam job.

Joke 1: Fighting Steve Forbes, another Contender TV show contestant. You know how I feel about these chooches, they are all getting big time fights they don't deserve, and they keep gettin blown out of the water. In May when this fight takes place the same thing will happen. At least it won't be on PPV, but I hear that Paulie Malignaggi was an option who is a current champ. Plus Paulie likes to yap and would of hyped up the fight. Oscar still probably would of won but at least that would of been a respectable non PPV fight that the "fans" would have some interest in.

Joke 2: Rematch with Floyd? What the hell is the point? Yes the first was close but that's not why they are doing this. They both want to cash in on a phat payday. I hope they get burned on the PPV sales this time around. Shame on you Floyd for ducking Cotto and choosing this path instead.

Joke 3: 3 fights this year for Oscar? When, who, why? It ain't gonna happen.

So what fights do I want to see in 08 that won't happen?

1. Miguel Cotto vs. Floyd Mayweather. This is the mega fight in my 'pinion. Unfortunately due to the mess I just wrote about, it doesn't seem like its going to happen. Floyd, your all time great status is not going to happen going this route.

2. Sam Peter vs. Wladimir Klitschko. These guys met a few years ago and Peter put the big Ukranian on his ass 3 times in the fight and still lost by a unanimous decision! I didn't get to see the fight but how the hell do you lose by unanimous decision while scoring 3 10-8 rounds? Two big heavy hitters, some semi glass jaws, just what the heavyweight division needs!

3. Kelly Pavlik vs. Joe Calzaghe. How about this one? More speed, more bombs being thrown, me likey.

4. Edison Miranda vs. Kelly Pavlik. To be honest I would rather see this rematch vs. a non title fight rematch between Pavlik and Jermaine Taylor. Miranda and Pavlik are two crazy power punchers that take two shots for every one they land.

So what you guys think, does Larry Lump have a shot as a promoter for the people??

OK finally a little MMA insight. So big Brock Lesnar has his UFC debut on Feb. 2nd. To be honest I am kinda pumped up about this one. They are not putting Brock in with a total chooch like they (not the UFC) did with Kimbo Slice. Plus I think Brock has some skills besides just being a big ass guy. UFC is already talking about him being a headliner at a UFC PPV for this summer. Of course he needs to seal the deal in early Feb. before he gets to be a main attraction.

So there you have it, a bunch of stuff for you to lump on my peeps.

Larry De La Lumpa is out

In this Corner with Willy Lump

Willy Knee slappin’
So Willy was a little off with his pick on the Jones/Trinidad fight this past Saturday, although I did call the winner flat out. I thought Jones would take him out.

On to the next…..

Looks like Hopkins & Calzaghe has come to reality. Set for April 19th in Vegas @ 175lbs.
I said in my last post that I feel as if Hopkins does not fight for the sport nor does he have that hunger anymore, but there is no denying his accomplishments he was a great champion.
My early impression…..loving this fight!

Already feeling like early 2008 fights will top all of 2007.

In the Heavyweight division, look for the Oleg Maskaev/Sam Peter fight scheduled for March 8th…..

This also should be an excellent fight, after the Sam Peter/James Toney, I was sure that Sam Peter was a beast and had potentially the best chance to unify the division. To my surprise this has not been in the cards for him with some tough fights and now it seems that he has been exposed with a potential glass jaw, then again there is a current heavyweight champ with that same problem. I look for this to be a decent fight, when is the last time you saw a decent heavyweight fight? On this undercard look for the forever exciting Jon Ruiz vs Jameel McCline, can anyone stand to watch another John Ruiz fight?

Finally my Holy Crap fight!

Oscar De La Hoya vs Steve Forbes sometime in May!

De La Hoya is proposing three final fights, or “farewell fights” if you must.

This is going to drive Triple L crazy, as another “Contender” gets a high profile fight. Steve Forbes was the runner-up in Season Two of the Contender and is former IBF Super Featherweight Champion. This fight will take place at 150lbs, which means that Forbes is coming up from 130. I will let you make the prediction on this one now since there is no reason to wait until May! While you have Paulie Malignaggi floating out in the middle of the fight sea, this is what we are subjected to watch. Good choice Golden Boy!

Then we wonder why the fight game is in the toilet. It’s fights like this! I would rather watch classic fights on ESPN.

Dusty Knuckles OUT!

One more wrastlin' Classic Lump

So yesterday I said adios to wrestling on BUMPnLUMP. Well lets send em out in style with a tribute to one of the most insane wrestlers I have ever seen, Mick Foley, aka Mankind, aka Cactus Jack, aka Dude Love. How he is still alive and has full movement of all his limbs boggles my mind. Say whatever you want about wrestling being fake, but getting thrown off cages 50 feet up in the air hurts anyway you look at it (especially when you land on hundreds of thumbtacks). Enjoy the hardcore legend. And yes that is his tooth sticking out of his nose.

Weekend Boxing/MMA results and Pro Wrestling is down for the count

Happy MLK, and that doesn't stand for Mauls, Lumps, and Knockouts!
Your boy Larry is mentally drained from the amazing Giants victory last night so all I am giving you today is weekend results. Oh and one more thing, Larry Lump has come to the conclusion he no longer has the rights to include Pro Wrestling on BUMPnLUMP. To be honest I just don't follow it anymore, the days of Sergeant Slaughter, Iron Sheik, and Bob Backlund are long gone. I will leave it up to the young'uns. So there ya have it, go back to doing nothing today peeps.
Catch you tomorrow with a phat Classic Lump.

Boxing Results:
NEW YORK (AP) -- Roy Jones Jr., Pensacola, Fla., outpointed Felix Trinidad, Puerto Rico, 12, light heavyweights; Andrew Golota, Poland, outpointed Mike Mollo, Oak Lawn, Ill., 12, heavyweights; Alex Bunema, Congo, stopped Roman Karmazin, Russia, 10, junior middleweights; Devon Alexander, St. Louis, outpointed DeMarcus Corley, Washington, 12, junior welterweights; Luis Collazo, Queens, N.Y., outpointed Edvan Dos Santos Barros, Brazil, 10, welterweights.
DUSSELDORF, Germany (AP) -- Ruslan Chagaev, Germany, outpointed Matt Skelton, Britain, 12, to retain his WBA heavyweight title; Taras Bidenko, Ukraine, outpointed Cisse Salif, Mali, to retain his WBA Inter-Continental heavyweight title.
RAMA, Ontario (AP) -- Steve Molitor, Canada, outpointed Ricardo Castillo, Mexico, 12, to retain his IBF super bantamweight title.

MMA Results:
Saturday, Jan. 19
UFC 80, Newcastle, England: Sam Stout def. Per Eklund, unanimous decision; Alessio Sakara def. James Lee, TKO 1:30 R1; Paul Kelly def. Paul Taylor, unanimous decision; Antoni Hardonk def. Colin Robinson, TKO 0:17 R1; Jorge Rivera def. Kendall Grove, TKO 1:20 R1; Wilson Gouveia def. Jason Lambert, KO (punch) 0:37 R2; Marcus Davis def.

Joe Stevenson, submission (rear naked choke), 4:02 R2 (Penn wins vacant title).

Jones-Trinidad and the winner is...

Jones by unanimous decision. Hmmm didn't Larry's post on Friday start with the exact same words? Your boy Larry called it perfectly the last two weeks, not only calling out the winner but calling out the way the victory was going to go down. Yes I ain't gonna lie, when I started the blog my first few picks were just a tad off. But now both Stella and Larry got their grooves back. As for the fight, Jones actually gave away the first 3 rounds to Tito and I was telling myself this guy better pick up the pace otherwise he is going to get outpointed. Little by little Jones did that as he picked his punches and began to land more and more. By the late rounds it was easy pickins and he put Tito on his ass in the 7th and the 10th. Trinidad is done, adios hermano. However Jones looked pretty good (but was it only because he was against a second level opponent)? Well his next fight will probably be for a championship or against a number 1 contender. Guess we will find out then.
As for the undercard it pretty much blew until the Golota-Molla heavyweight fight. This one was pretty entertaining but it sure didn't win any style points with a ton of flailing punches and clinches. Molla was the much smaller but faster guy in the beginning rounds and his wild man style was somewhat effective until he blew his load by the 6th. I have no clue how this fight went the full 12, Molla was spent, half the time he was using Golota to keep him up. I got to give credit to big Andrew because his left eye closed up 100% in about the 6th round. If you did not see it there are two ways to explain it. Think back to Rocky 1 and remember how his eyes looked by the end of the Creed fight? Got that visual, good, cause it looked even worse than that. The other way to explain it is a little grosser but think of a certain female part of the anatomy (in a horizontal position). This thing was closed shut. But the bil ol' Pole did not quit and scored the unanimous decision. Unreal as it may seem Golota might be in line for ANOTHER shot at a title.

Have a good weekend boys and girls. That's all I wanted to yap about this Sunday. Oh one more thing...GO GIANTS!!!

Weekend Fight Schedule plus the winner of Jones Jr. vs. Trinidad is.....

Jones Jr. by unanimous decision. Case closed. Tito has been dormant for over 2 1/2 years (and he lost that fight back in 05). At least Jones has been semi active and I still feel his speed will overwhelm Tito. Listen, this fight is a joke, it has no real implication in their weight class. No matter what these cats tell you it is definitely a one and done for the loser, and probably one more fight after this for the winner. Both these guys are calling out opponents that they should of been fighting years ago. Let's hope for an entertaining brawl at least. The under card is not too shabby on this one. Cory Spinks and Andrew Golota will be fighting as well.

Let's not forget that the WBA heavyweight title is also on the line this weekend in Germany. Hey Moose who you like in this one and why, the champ Chagaev or the challenger Skelton?
Can't wait to hear what da Moose man thinks.

If you want to check some MMA action, BJ Penn vs. Joe Stevenson fight is also on PPV on Saturday night as well.

In this Corner with Willy Lump

Jones & Tito this weekend the short & sweet!
All the hype is about Jones Jr & Trinidad….I will not draw this out, the “W” goes to Jones Jr by KO in max 5 rounds…
Even at Roy's ripe old age, Trinidad cannot match his speed and power. Enough Said.
I am already on to February and the more competitive fights on the horizon…
2/2 - Oleg Maskaev vs. Samuel Peter
2/16 - Kelly Pavlik vs. Jermain Taylor
2/23 - Wladimir Klitschko vs. Sultan Ibragimov
February is turning out to be the month to be watched in the fight game.
On another note…possible fight on the horizon
Mayweather vs De La Hoya, fight that needs to happen. I still feel like this fight should have been a draw, but again this fight needs to happen and it looks like it’s a go.
Hopkins vs Calzaghe – I would like to see this one happen although to me I feel that Hopkins is not fighting for the sport but for the money because he can.

Willy Out!

Classic Lump-Tito's Turn

What up kiddies? Well last week we highlighted Roy Jones Jr. so this week Trinidad is up.
We are going to go back, waay back to the year 2000. Round 12 Felix Trinidad vs. Fernando Vargas. On another note I just read that Trinidad is already looking past Roy Jones and calling out Joe Calzaghe. Basta Basta Felix, slow your roll and TRY to take care of business on Saturday night first Hesse.

Easy call for Larry Lump/The Contender series is going to get someone killed

Whats up LumpLand? Well the guarantee came through, Edison Miranda not only KO'ed David Banks, he almost knocked him into the third row. It's already a candidate for KO of the year. If you have not seen it yet go to YouTube now before it gets taken down:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KcMw4wYgsw
Banks was asleep before he even landed. I got to tell you, this is the third Edison Miranda fight I have seen and even though he lost one of them to Pavlik, all his fights are exciting. He is kind of like a mini Tyson, there is rarely going to be a draw in any of his fights. I look forward to seeing him step up to a top level opponent.
I also saw the Sergio Mora fight. Once again not impressed by Mora even though he won by TKO. It was a VERY controversial stoppage, way too early. The other guy was not hurt, and Mora was behind on two scorecards. So once again Mora skates though a lower level opponent and pads his record.

Which brings me to the my next point. For the most part the TV show The Contender has only brought us a bunch of Pretenders, not only that, they are putting some of these guys into fights where they have no business being in, and someone is going to get hurt. Other than Alfonso Gomez from season 1 none of these guys have done anything.

Let's look at a few of the winners and finalists and what they have done when they faced champions or "real" contenders:
Season 1 Contenders

1: Sergio Mora: turned down a title fight against Jermain Taylor, pulled out of a fight against Kassim Ouma, and won this weekends fight on a shady early stoppage (and was behind on 2 of the 3 judges scorecards)

2: Peter Manfredo: Lost to Gomez during the show but was invited back because another contestant got the chickenpox. Lost twice to Sergio Mora. Somehow gets a title fight with Joe Calzaghe and gets destroyed by TKO in only 3 rounds. Lost just a few months ago to Jeff Lacy. During this time he beat a few chooches, but when it was time to step up he lost every one.

Anthony Bonsante: Lost to Allen Green and to John Duddy.

3. Joey Gilbert: Suspended by Nevada Athletic Commission due to positive steroid test.

Season 2:

Winner Grady Brewer has not fought since the TV show ended.

Season 3:

David Banks: See above

I will admit that the final fight between Jaidon Codrington and Sakio Bika was an instant classic but both of them got hit by so many shots I have a feeling they will get destroyed by any current champs or top contenders. Knowing ESPN though they will play up The Contender popularity again and put them up against someone way above their skill level.

After David Banks almost got decapitated hopefully ESPN and boxing promoters will wake up and not put these Pretenders in against top level competition.

Guaranteed KO tonight on ESPN2

Good afternoon my lil lumpers. Larry Lump is draggin and saggin, winter blues in full effect. Not much going on this weekend in the fight world, however ESPN2 is the place to be tonight if you want to see someone's bell rung. I am talking about the Edison Miranda vs. David Banks fight. Miranda by KO. If he loses this fight it's time for Miranda to shut it down. David Banks is the pretty boy fighter from The Contender. He has 0 power by the way.
Another Contender fighter is on tonight as well. Sergio Mora finally gets back in the ring. This cat is all hype in my opinion. The best fighter as of today to come out of that TV show is Alfonso Gomez who put my boy Arturo Gatti into retirement.
Anyways that's all folk for today. Have a great weekend!

Weekend Boxing Schedule:

TODAY - at Hollywood, Florida (ESPN2) - 10 rounds,super middleweights: Edison Miranda (29-2, 25 KOs)vs. David Banks (15-3-1, 2 KOs); 10 rounds, super middleweights: Jean Pascal (20-0, 14 KOs) vs. Omar Pittman (15-3-1, 8 KOs).

He's Baaaack. Willy Lump back from the dead!

Good day my Lump-A-Putins. Willy sent me an email this morning and he got something to say. Took ya long enough Cuz! Anyways without further ado the first for 2008 "In This Corner with Willy Lump"

Willy just getting over that New Years hang over….And yes it took a solid 10 days.

Even though I have been OOC, your boy has been brewing over an article I read at the end of last year about one of your heavyweight champs. Wladimir Klitschko has teamed up with Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, to come with the idea of…let’s call it an offer…to his fans to pay $199.00 USD to have their name printed on his robe which he will wear to the ring at MSG for his fight in February. In return for you $199.00 USD you will receive a certificate signed by Wladimir…..Now my initial thoughts on this was this was cool idea based on the fact that it goes to help the kids, but then the more I thought about I started to feel as if this guy has millions of dollars and yet if he is feeling charitable why go this route.

I mean let’s look at this from a different angle here. Wlad is signed to HBO and has the majority is not all of his fights on HBO, question how much do you think he has received for that deal? Endorsements with Hugo Boss, how much for that deal? How much of a cut from ticket sales from all of his fight in Germany and such? So now that he is fighting more in the states and is feeling all charitable does he really feel like we should be honored to have my name on his robe that he will in turn auction off. Am I missing something here? This guy has millions of dollars and he is asking his fans to donate money to a charity.

Thoughts?

More rants to come soon but Willy needs a drink? I gonna get back with you kids real soon cuz I has plenty to say.

LLL step ya game up!

Willy out!

Yooo I Can't Hear You!!!!!!!

Attention all BUMPnLUMP readers. Your boy Larry Lump Lump wants to here from you!
We need to kick this blog into high gear. It's time for the championship rounds. I can only think of so many things to rant about. I want to hear from you. What's on you mind, what 'pinions you got about the fight game. Any wrestling fans out there, start something up why don't ya don't ya. Tell your boy what you want to know more about, tell your boy about the good, the bad, and the ugly in the fight game. Knuckle up my brothers BUMPnLUMP wants to be the sounding board for all.

That's all I got to say today. By the way forget about that video program on Yahoo! called Outside the Ring. It was WEAK WEAK WEAK

Peace

Classic Lump

How's it hanging Lump-A-Loo's?
In tribute to the upcoming Jones Jr./Trinidad fight I am going to highlight classic lumps from both fighters. First up is Roy Jones Jr. Check out this video highlight (damn why they got to show him lumpin up Vinny Paz so much!)



Yahoo has an online video program called Outside the Ring which follows around Jones and Trinidad (similar to the HBO style shows). Looks like they have episode 1 & 2 available online. You can find it here:
They also have an article called Slice vs. Abbott could be passing of the torch
Passing of the Torch? Tank Abbott was NEVER good. His MMA record is 10-13 and it is 3-7 since 1998. Kimbo is going to light him up in the the first round.
L Cubed is out.
Peace my Brothers from some other Mothers

Weekend Boxing and Prediction Results

Happy Monday Lump-a-Holics. I didn't get to see the Malignaggi/Ngoudjo fight over the weekend but I was happy to see I called it right and have moved back to a respectable 3-3 on my picks. Sounds like the Magic Man was calling out Hatton after the fight. That would be an interesting one, I hope they can lock it up. Also Moose got another pick right this week so I think he is now 11-0, go Moooooooooooooooooooooose.
Anyone see American Gladiator last night? Yawwwwn, same crap as it was 10 years ago, even most of the events are the same. This show will probably be shut down in 2-3 months tops.
The countdown has officially started for Jones Jr. vs. Trinidad. With that in mind I have added a poll to the site so let me know who you think is going to win.

That's all for today party people, not stop slacking and get back to work!

Peace

Weekend Fight Schedule-Predictions

Yo Yo Yo Larry Lump back from the dead. I'm sorry, I'm sorry but it's been a little slow in the fight game these days. I hate to say it but I am starting to look forward to the Roy Jones Felix Trinidad fight to pump things up.

With that said Larry is going to pick The Magic Man Paulie Malignaggi over Herman Ngoudjo by a decision when they duke it out for Paulie's IBF junior welterweight belt Saturday night. Neither guy has really any power so it's going to come down to speed and heart, and I'm pickin Paulie.

This weeks M.U.P
Moose checked in with me last night and has an underground pick for you'se too.
Here is the fight he has selected:
10 rounds,light flyweights: Brian Viloria (19-2, 12 KOs)vs. Jose Garcia Bernal (27-9-1, 18 KOs).
And the Moose says.....
I'm going with the Hawaiian Punch Kid (Viloria) over the old Colombian crow Jose Bernal. I think that Bri is pumped up after losing 2 out of the last 3 and has "ballooned" to nearly 115 pounds for more power. Bernal is pushing 40 and should hang them up.


Have a great weekend fight fans..Larry is out!

1st Classic Lump of 2008

Oh man, Larry got Lumped last night, hence the late post. Gonna keep this one short and sweet.
This weeks Classic Lump stars one of the hardest hitting white boys in boxing history, Tommy Morrison. The guy had great natural strength and talent, but unfortunately he was poorly managed and let fame and a taste of fortune get to his head, plus he had a weak chin. Of course a positive HIV test kind of put a small kink is his boxing career as well (even though he is allegedly cured from the disease), but damn his fights were exciting. Check out this Classic Lump:Tommy "The Duke" Morrison vs. Razor Ruddock.
