The ref is very shady, btw. I have seen him in the past.

The problem is the most Americans wouldn't watch either of these guys fight if they set the ring up in their front yard.

The Klitschkos need another legitimate heavyweight star to emerge more than anyone. That's indicative of the fact that Haye is actually getting a 50/50 split of the purse in this fight. The Klitschko's simply don't have the charisma to promote a fight on their own.

Which really isn't their fault. They haven't ducked anyone, they just have dominated the shittiest era in heavyweight boxing history.

And the mind games from Haye continue....

The fight is outdoors and will probably be in the middle of a driving thunderstorm. The prelims have gone off without a hitch so far, but a new canvas will be put on the ring just before the main event.

I'm so on the fence about who I would like to see win this. Of course, it's most likely going to end with Haye getting knocked out, but if that does happen all we have to look forward to are the Klitschkos going back to having boring fights with a collection of blubber-butts that look like Mike Golic's nutrisystem…

Name Change DUAN

About what you would expect for it being Alexander's hometown. Not right, but a fact of life in boxing. I had Matthysse winning 95-94, but close decisions tend to go to the hometown boy. Just bad that it's happened to Matthysse twice in a row now.

I didn't realize the US had any say on the venue.

Because the LAPD needs a very good reason to administer a wood shampoo to a person of Mexican persuasion?

Fight Night DUAN

I'll take Los Transformers over the incessant reminders that my manhood hinges on drinking Miller Brewing Company's shitty light beer.

Ok, I'm a total soccer noob here so have pity.....

Well, that will silence the home crowd.

Soccer is always best in Spanish. Even if you don't understand a word of it.

Jame Gumb has really let himself go. Even he wouldn't fuck him anymore.

For about a week every summer I crave a good Hefewizen. I'm enjoying one with a slice of orange floating on top.

Good to see that Kevin Bacon finally got that guy into the Association.

Landycakes put that pass on the tape.
