Balco rears it’s ugly head again

Friday, September 28th, 2007 |

Greg Anderson, Barry Bonds, and Shane Mosley. Did you ever think that you would see these names linked together. Well when SI.com reported that “Sugar” Shane Mosley was reportedly using the clear and cream made by the Balco lab. Mosley reportedly used the cream prior to his 2003 fight with Oscar DeLahoya. Is that the reason for the victory? Who knows. The question is why did he need to use it. If he used it to fight Oscar why didn’t he use it when he lost to Vernon Forrest twice? Is the fight game now becoming just like baseball and wrestling? With James Toney and Fernando Vargas using steroids as well is the sweet science dirty beyond promoters and the gambling? It is such a shame. Now what does this do for his fight against Miguel Cotto? Should that even go on? How do we know he is not cycling off right now? Too many questions and not enough answers.

Taylor vs Pavlik

Monday, September 24th, 2007 |

In what could truly could be the fight of the year Jermain Taylor takes on Kelly Pavlik on Saturday September 29th. Another great thing about this fight is that it is not on PPV. HBO will be carrying this fight live. How great is that. This is a matchup between two fighters that have very differnt styles. Kelly Pavlik is a fighter who loves to pressure you and deliver the big punch. Jermain Taylor is more of the classic style fighter who uses the jab moves and throws combo after combo to the body and the head. At first glance for me hands down I think Taylor will win this fight. After seeing Pavlik run through Edison Miranda in his last fight I don’t think it will be easy. Taylor has to keep Pavlik on the other end of his jab body punch early and often. Also Taylor has listen to his famous trainer Emanuel Steward for the entire fight not just when he wants to. That also will be a key in this fight. For Pavlik the stradegy is simple walk through Taylor like he did Edison. Land the big shots up the middle. Straight right hands and hooks will be how he could win this fight. My prediction is a 12 round slugfest. Majority decision for the winner and still middleweight champion of the world Jermain Taylor.
