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!

Willy you killin me with this news, you are right, L Cubed is losing his poo about the De La Hoya fight. Made me so sick I am actually typing from the can. I'm going to drop the kids off at the pool right now but trust me, tomorrow I will have a lot to say about this plus my thoughts on Brock Lesner's UFC debut and fights I want to see in 2008 that probably ain't gonna happen.
I want Vinny M. again. As a Moose disciple, I like to see beatings. Win or lose, Vinny gets beat-up.
I would put all these bums in one cage; last man standing like the old wrastling days. I think the working man is a sucker.
