Weekend Boxing Results-Paulie Malignaggi looked HAIRrible

Wake me up please. Larry is shot after a great memorial day weekend. As for the fights, well they were not so hot, at least when it came to boxing. Both Ricky Hatton and Paulie Malignaggi earned victories by decision, but no one looked very impressive. Paulie looked like a complete buffoon actually. The chooch comes out wearing hair extensions. I think he was going for the Italian/Brooklyn/Jamaican look. Anyways his pony tail comes undone half way through the first round and he can't see because his hair is in his face, it actually cost him the round. His corner then uses the glove tape to try and hold it down. That lasts for about 4-5 rounds and then it comes out again and the ref has to call time out. Then, which must be a first in boxing, he gets a full blown haircut in between rounds! Unreal!

Hatton and Malignaggi have already secured a fight date for this November. If they try to put this one on PPV the promoters are going to seriously be disappointed. Hatton by decision in an ugly boring fight...I'm already calling that one.

Here are your weekend fight results:

De La Hoya vs. Steve Forbes Final Thoughts-Weekend Fight Recap

OK I didn't do enough homework, should of known Steve Forbes would not go down. That was really the only surprise last night. Oscar easily took care of business in his unanimous decision. I actually gave him every round 120-108 (one of the judges gave the same score as well). So is Oscar ready for the Mayweather rematch? Tough call on that one. First of all the first fight wasn't even that entertaining so Larry Lump Lump is not very pump pumped for the rematch. Oscar's jab did look pretty good, but the only way he is going to beat Floyd is if he keeps using it throughout the whole fight and not just the first 6-7 rounds. I still find it hard to believe De La Hoya is going to get two more fights in this year. Especially if he loses to Floyd, who does he fight next, and why??

Here is the rest of the weekend boxing results:

Weekend Wrap Up-Your Boy is Back

To all you cats who were bustin my chops when I started this blog about my picks....BITE ME.
Your boy has been En Fuego lately. Not only pickin the winners but picking the exact outcomes.
Between me and the Moose you guys should be getting paid in full if you follow our advice!
Let me tell you the first 6 rounds of that Calzaghe/Hopkins fight was a bitch to score but by the end of the fight Mighty Joe was the clear cut winner. You had Hopkins charge in with one big punch then clinch and you had Joe land 4-5 pitter patter combos. Hopkins scored a flash knockdown in the first but after that no one was really hurt. Listen, it wasn't a pretty win for Calzaghe but fights against Hopkins are never pretty. Looking forward to a Joe C. to fight a Pavlik or Jones Jr. next.

I missed the UFC event on Saturday night but I did snag the Georges St. Pierre/Matt Serra fight on YouTube the next morning. Boring grappling fight but St. Pierre controlled the whole fight. Here are the rest of the weekend fight results:

Boxing:
LAS VEGAS (AP)—Joe Calzaghe, Britain, outpointed Bernard Hopkins, Philadelphia, 12, light heavyweights; David Lopez, Mexico, stopped Ryan Davis, East St. Louis, Ill., 5, middleweights.
BUCHAREST, Romania (AP)—Adrian Diaconu, Romania, outpointed Chris Henry, Houston, 12, to win the interim WBC light heavyweight title; Jo Jo Dan, Romania, stopped Raul Balbi, Argentina, 3, to retain his NABA light welterweight title; Viorel Simion, Romania, outpointed Rudy Encarnacion, Spain, 10, to win the WBC Mediterranean featherweight title.
KATOWICE, Poland (AP)—Tomasz Adamek, Poland, stopped O’Neil Bell, Jamaica, 8, in an IBF cruiserweight title eliminator.
MAGDEBURG, Germany (AP)—Sebastian Zbik, Germany, outpointed Marco Schulze, Germany, 12, to retain his WBO Intercontinental middleweight title; Rene Marcos Maidana, Argentina, stopped Arturo Morua, Mexico, 3, light welterweights.
FREDERIKSUND, Denmark (AP)—Evans Ashira, Kenya, stopped Mamadou Thiam, France 6, to win the vacant Universal Boxing Organization Intercontinental light middleweight title.
KIEV, Ukraine (AP)—Yuri Nuzhnenko, Ukraine, technical drawed Irving Garcia, Puerto Rico, 10, to retain his interim WBA welterweight title.

Cotto wins by TKO, another Contender get's destroyed, it's deja vu all over again

Well if you watched the Larry Lump/Moose interview on Friday you would of known that Cotto by TKO was a lock. The fight went EXACTLY as L Cubed Predicted. By the end of the 5th the ringside Doc had enough and stopped the fight. Cotto TKO in 5. Also, past BUMPnLUMP readers will also recall this post a while back: http://www.bumpnlump.com/2008/01/easy-call-for-larry-lumpthe-contender.html

So congrats Alfonso Gomez you have also made the list of Pretenders. Shall I refresh your memory on the results of fighters from the Contender TV showed when they stepped up to top 10 fighters?

1. Peter Manfredo Jr.-TKO'ed by Joe Calzaghe in 3.
2. Anthony Bosante-Lost by Unanimous decision to John Duddy
3. David Banks- Almost gets decapitated and lands in the second row after being KO'ed by Edison Miranda in the 3rd.
4. Alfonso Gomez-TKO'ed by Miguel Cotto in the 5th

Enough is enough already, these guys have not made it to the big time for a reason, they're not that good!

OK so the Moose Man had it a little harder this weekend. His boy Phlegm..oops I mean Glen Johnson fought pretty good even though he lost a 12 round decision to Chad Dawson. However the crowd was booing the result so it seems like some controversy took place. If you recall Da Moose said three bodily fluids would of been release by Johnson. It's very hard to confirm these facts because mainstream media tends to shy away from this kind of business, but I would not be surprised if Glen was able to keep his bowels under control.

Well, heading out to FLA tomorrow but I just needed to gloat before I hit the friendly skies. Have a good week my Lumpy Posse!!!

Weekend Fight Results-Ice Man disses Slice

Yawwwn, Larry Lump is one tired mofo...word to big bird. Not much to yap about today except I am looking forward to the Cotto-Gomez fight next weekend. Cotto beats the crap out of Gomez, calls out Mayweather after the fight, and they make this fight happen later this fall.
How do you think it's going to pan out? Voting is open on the right side of the page.
Who the hell wants to see another Hatton-Mayweather fight, crap, I don't even want to see another Mayweather-De La Hoya fight until Floyd fights Cotto first.
So "The Iceman" Chucky Liddell was dissin' Kimbo Slice pretty good, and you know what, Chuck is right in everything he says. I like watching Kimbo fight but the man has done nothing, nada, zilch, yet in the world of MMA. I'm not saying that one day he will, just like I still think Brock Lesnar has a future in MMA, but as of now, all he has fought is powder puffs. Check out the article here.

Weekend Boxing Results

Happy Monday to all. If you celebrate it, hope you had a good Easter. Lump Man had a good one, a little hung over from night before, but didn't stop me from getting my eat on. Rumor on the street is that in the next week or so I should be able to snag an exclusive interview with Da Moose Man. The video will be posted on the site. Any of you cats see the Casamayor/Katsidis fight this weekend? Great back and forth battle with both guys going down in the fight. If you can, try to catch the replay on HBO. Not much more to report right now. I will drum up a good Classic Lump for Wednesday.

Pacquiao outpoints Marquez-Lump Man picks another winner-Weekend Boxing Results

OK so your boy L Cubed called this one exactly right, Pacquiao by decision, but I am man enough to admit that I actually scored this fight 114-113 Marquez. At the end of the day I thought he outboxed him. Yes Marquez was almost out in the 3rd and also got rocked in the 10th, but overall I think he countered better and landed more shots than Manny. Marquez was not the stronger man, but he was the more accurate. From the post fight banter it does not seem like we are going to see a trilogy because Pacquiao is talking about moving up in weight. It's too bad because the first fight was a draw and now the second was a controversial split decision. This is a perfect scenario for them to duke it out one more time.
So if you guys have been taking the Moose Man and Larry Lump Lump's advice these past few weeks you should be making some serious moolah. Since BUMPnLUMP went live LL Lump has gone 9(4)-4. The number in parentheses is how many I have called both the winner and outcome (KO or decision). Let's not forget I started off 0-3, so since then it's been a pretty good run. Out on business this week kids. So keep your hands up and your ass off the canvas. Catch ya on da flip side.

Samuel Peter Prevails, Ken gets ShamRocked! Weekend Boxing Results

So Sam Peter took care of business on Saturday night against Oleg Maskaev. So is he "Da Man" in the heavyweight division? Larry Lump says not so fast, he's getting there but he got a few Klitschko's to take care of first, yes I said I few. The obvious next fight would be against Wladimir but in the bizarre world of boxing the WBC made pact with Vitali Klitschko that if he ever comes out of retirement his first fight can be for the title. What kind of BS is that? A guy who has not boxed since 2004 and has been retired since 2005 gets to leap frog all the current contenders and get a title fight right when he comes back? What a damn scam! Secondly, don't you think that Vitali would want a tune up fight or two before challenging the Heavyweight Champ? It's stupid in so many ways. I hope Peters smacks him silly. And if he does who do you think wins in a Wladimir Klitschko vs. Samuel Peter fight?

Klitschko wins because:
He has a 6 inch height advantage, 4 inch reach advantage, and an very strong jab. He also has some power and from watching the Peter fight the other night Sam can take a punch but still needs some serious defensive work (he got hit with some decent shots).

Peter wins because: He has great power, can take a shot, and Wladimir still fights scared and still might have a glass jaw. Peter probably has the psychological advantage because even though he lost in their first meeting he did send Klitschko to the canvas three times in the first fight.


Bottom line is it's up for grabs if and when it ever happens.


OK some quick MMA news. A few weeks ago a past his prime MMA "star" got his ass handed to him by some no name brand fighter in less than a minute. That fighter would be Bob Sapp. Well same crap happened this weekend when Ken Shamrock got KO'ed in the first round against the always dangerous Robert "Buzz" Berry. Shamrock has now lost 7 of his 8 last fights. Why do these leagues allow these guys to still compete? Is it all about the $$$ signs, do they ever think about the fighters health for half a second? The knuckle head fighters don't help matters either. They hit 35 or 40 years old and will always state "I am in the best condition of my life" Brotha please! A 25 year old Shamrock, Sapp, or Abbott will kick the ass of the 40 year old version any day of the week.


Oh PS I know you won't believe me but I actually first wrote on my Friday post that Peter was going to win by KO in the 6th, but for the first time ever for whatever reason I changed my prediction to a decision. Well it still counts as a win for the Lump man since I picked Peter. Yes I had a rough start on my picks at the beginning but your boy L Cubed has had a clean sheet for a while now.


Here are the rest of the weekend boxing results:
CANCUN, Mexico (AP)—Samuel Peter, Nigeria, stopped Oleg Maskaev, Russia, 6, to win the WBC heavyweight title; Nate Campbell, Tampa, Fla., outpointed Juan Diaz, Houston, 12, to win the IBF, WBA and WBO lightweight titles; Adrian Hernandez, mexico, stopped Gilberto Keb Baas, Mexico, 4, to win the NABF and WBC Continental Americas flyweight titles; John Ruiz, Chelsea, Mass., outpointed Jameel McCline, West Palm Beach, Fla., 12, in a WBC heavyweight eliminator.

KREFELD, Germany (AP)—Rudolf Kraj, outpointed Matt Godfre, 12, in a WBC cruiserweight eliminator.

Weekend Fight Results. Vazquez vs. Marquez Trilogy. Lesnar's next opponent announced.

OK OK I will admit it right off the bat. I have not seen any of the Israel Vazquez/Rafael Marquez (Jeez names are pretty similar) fights. All I know is from what I read it was one of the best trilogies of all time. From what I also read the fight on Saturday night did not disappoint. I got a good excuse though. Besides the fact I don't get Showtime I had to be Big Daddy Lump Lump on Saturday. "Had" is the wrong word, me and my girl had a lot of fun hanging out.

I ALSO did not see the UFC PPV but we did get to find out who Brock Lesnar is going to fight next and when. Before I tell you let me just say that Dana White is really rolling the dice with Brock' career. Kimbo is getting spoon fed easy opponents right now and no one really seems to care. Of course he needs to step it up sooner or later but at least he is learning the business, building his confidence, while still winning over new fans. Even Bob Crapp I mean Bob Sapp was given a powder puff opponent last week and ended up earning $100,000 for his 55 second loss.

On the other hand Brock had to start off with an ex UFC heavyweight champ that is a submission specialist. He almost pulls off the win but gets submitted. Now he has another legit challenge when he meets Mark Coleman August 9th in Minn. Coleman, another past UFC and PRIDE champ is an old man now and way past his prime but he is a HUGE and savvy MMA vet. Bottom line is that this is not going to be a walk in the park for Brock. So what if he has another good showing but loses again? Then he is 0-2, the mystique is gone, and Dana got an ex WWE wrestler who is doubting his skills. Better pull this one off Brock, if not you might just bail on this MMA thing even though you really might of had a shot at being decent.
Two more things before I go. Check out the new BUMPnLUMP poll and don't forget to vote. Gave you a real brain teaser for this week! Secondly, readers I need your help. Comment, Comment, Comment! We got to build up this community. Larry Lump can only yap so much, Cousin Willy is always in trouble with the Po Po, and Moose only shows up on Fridays with his Exotic Picks. We need you to!!

Heavyweight Snore Fest at MSG and the rest of the weekend fight results

Ohh man I feel bad for the suckers who paid hundreds to thousands of dollars to see that stinker at MSG on Saturday. Wladimir Klitschko scored a unanimous decision over Sultan Ibragimov to unify the IBF and WBO belts. Your boy Larry Lump scored it 119-109 for Wladimir, almost a shut out except for the first round. All Klitschko did the entire night was slap down Sultans weak ass jab then throw a jab of his own. You kept waiting for him to cold cock him with the right hand but Wladimir threw his first right in the 5th round! Yes 4 straight round of boxing with only one hand and he won 3 of them. The crowd was booing, I was yawning, not good. Punch stats at the end of the fight had Klitschko landing 108 jab to ONLY 16 by Ibragimov!

So did this fight create any clarity in the heavyweight decision, absolutely not. To me it still seems like Klitschko is afraid to take a punch to the chin so he fights in a very defensive style. If there ever is a Sam Peter rematch I think he is in for a rough night.


OK had a chance to watch the Pavlik/Taylor fight in more detail. Winner is.....
Draw baby 114-114. I had Pavlik up 58-56 after the first 6 and I though Taylor had the same score for rounds 6-12. Man it was close. At the end of the day Pavlik was probably a bit busier and I really don't have an issue with him winning the fight but damn it was a hard ass fight to judge. Put it this way, judges only scored unanimously in rounds 1 and 11, every other round they were split.


In MMA news, Bob Crapp, I mean Sapp got TKO'ed in less than a minute against a guy who had a 1-5 MMA record. Another novelty fighter bites the dust. I heard some rumors that Pro Wrestler Kurt Angle wants to fight Randy Couture this year. What the hell is he smoking, Kurt will get destroyed!


See you cats on Wednesday with another classic lump.

Pavlik and Slice Prevail-Rest of weekend Boxing/MMA Results

Oh man Oh man. I got so many bump n lumps going on in my head. Your Boy Larry went to NJ this weekend to party with some of his old school boys. Went to Pub 17 to watch the Pavlik/Taylor fight. Should of just stuck with the standard kettle ones and tonics but those shot girls are relentless! Back to the fight. What can I say? Good fight but I was very surprised it went to a decision and man it was close! Could of easily been a draw and if Pavlik didn't win the last two rounds he could of gotten beat. I thought Taylor fought much better and he was really popping the jab well early on. But Kelly showed patience and little by little his punches started to get through. I don't know how either of these guys can stay at middleweight. I see them both moving up but I guess Pavlik will have to defend his title first. After that he probably goes to super middleweight. Even though Jermain Taylor lost two in a row, I think he will still be favored in most of his fights, Pavlik just has his number right now. The fight didn't have the fireworks like the first one but it still was an entertaining brawl with two great fighters.

Kimbo Slice vs. Tank Abbott was exactly as predicted. First round KO by Slice. Kimbo is strong but he has still not shown ONE MMA skill. At least Brock Lesnar can punch AND wrestle. Kimbo's skill level is still a complete mystery to me. However I heard something about his next opponent being Ken Shamrock. Even though Ken is 5-10 years past his prime he has true MMA skills which will finally show us if Kimbo can do anything else besides throw round houses.

Here are the rest of the weekend results:

BOXING:
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Kelly Pavlik, Youngstown, Ohio, outpointed Jermain Taylor, Little Rock, Ark., 12, middleweights; Fernando Montiel, Mexico, stopped Martin Castillo, Los Angeles, 4, to retain his WBO super flyweight title; Cristian Mijares, Mexico, outpointed Jose Navarro, Los Angeles, 12, to retain his WBC super flyweight title.

Williams can't jab-Weekend Fight Results

Paul Williams let me down. The 6' 1" welterweight, no that is not a typo, could not keep the 5' 9" Carlos Quintana at bay. Judges gave Quintana the unanimous decision and Carlos won the WBO belt from Williams. It was the first defeat for Paul Williams. I scored the fight 116-114 for Quintana. I don't know what Harold Lederman was smoking because he scored it 117-115 for Williams. All Williams had to do was keep the distance and jab away but he was very ineffective and time and time again Quintana was able to get in close and nail Williams in the head with looping/leaping left hooks. Quintana got beat on by Miguel Cotto in 2007 so I don't know where he really stands in the mix of things. Bottom line is that Mayweather Jr. needs to fight Cotto, everything else plays second fiddle in the welterweight division.

Buster Doulgas...Oops I mean NY Giants Shock the World. Larry's thoughts on Lesnar/Mir fight. Weekend Boxing Results

I'm writing this post in Giants Blue in tribute!!. Unreal. Unbelievable. Amazing. Your boy Larry Lump has a few shots and beers in him right now after seeing his NY Giants shock da world against the Patriots. I mean this is one of the biggest upsets in a championship game...period. That last drive was out of control. The play when Manning was 99.5% sacked and then David Tyree catches a pass using his head....just out of control!!! This is one hangover that is worth it!

So about that Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir fight on Saturday night. If you did not see it YouTube has a few links (they probably will be taken down soon so check quick!). Don't forget to sort your search results by Date Added.

I honestly believe that even though Brock had to submit via the knee bar he still has a future in the UFC. Brock controlled 98% of the fight, unfortunelty he did not control the last 2% which is when he got snagged. Classic example of experience winning over strenghth. I mean during the entire fight Brock was landing bombs on Mir's head and I almost thought they were going to stop it at one point. But Mir weathered the storm, missed on an arm bar or two, and finally was able to grab the big man's leg and make him tap out. Honestly I think Dana White jumped the gun on this one. He has the great name brand talent (Lesnar) with huge potential and he puts him in his first UFC fight with an ex-heavyweight champ, co-headlining a PPV event. I mean come on man, why don't you ease the guy into the sport. Let him get 2-3 tune ups under his belt first. Mike Tyson who was the youngest heavyweight champ ever had 27 fights before getting a title shot. He fought a ton of buttercups and no one ever questioned the fact that he was the baddest man on the planet at that time.

Hopefully Brock will regroup, learn some better defense and bounce back in his next MMA fight. As for Mir, he showed heart, smarts, and skills, it was a nice job all around. He deserves a shot at a top 5 contender.

Here are the rest of the weekend fight results.

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!

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.

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!!!

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.

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
