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!
