MONDAY NIGHT FIGHT NIGHT EPISODE 12- RICK ROSS IN DA BUILDING from MIH-ENT on Vimeo.
I see Meek Mill was in the buidling with the rest of the Maybach folks.. This shit was HIGHLY entertaining.
The clip of Shane Mosley during the Pac-Man fight that everyone is going nuts over..
It is funny listening to people comment on 'heart' and shit when they little or any. Some of you don't even have the 'heart' to stick to your OWN opinions and to be yourself yet you are commenting and reaching on this little clip. Too funny. Carry on though.
In case you didn't know it already...It is OVER for Roy Jones Jr. in the ring..video..
Knockout..
I think that we all know that in his prime, he would have destroyed this cat. He is no longer in that prime though so...I normally don't do this either @ proclaim someone's career over but yeah..This one looks like it is a wrap.

Benard Hopkins...Jean Pascal....pre-fight...fight at presser...
I have seen a COUPLE OF SITES run this story a 'different' way. You watch the video and tell me what YOU SEE THOUGH...Good ole promotion at its finest @ what I see. Sell that fight ya'll!
At this point I want Floyd to give that man two weeks
to take that blood test so that they can fight. Or whatever it is...I need to see this fight.
I do realize this fight would not be happening 'till the Fall, but I will wait.
Providing that Floyd does his job against Mosley.
I mean anytime your corner says this and you shake your head 'No', you know what kinda night it is gonna be:
"You gotta take a chance," Clottey's trainer, Lenny DeJesus, implored him after the sixth round. "You're in a fight and you gotta start taking chances."
I almost cut the shit off..@ the fight.
I mean, I understood he didn't want to get knocked out but he was HITTING THE BOY clean whenever he did decide to engage. He gave him TOO MUCH RESPECT.

R.I.P. Vernon Forrest.
Great character guy. Seemed to be very genuine and caring. Gave Sugar Shane all he wanted and more. Sad story.

Pro boxer Vernon Forrest fatally shot in Atlanta

Atlanta police say former professional boxer Vernon “The Viper” Forrest was killed Saturday night when a robbery turned into a gunfire exchange.

The incident began at 11 p.m. at the Chevron on Whitehall Street in Southwest Atlanta when Forrest, 38, stopped to put air in the tires of his Jaguar, said Atlanta Police Detective Lt. Keith Meadows.
A male suspect approached Forrest and robbed him of a few items at gunpoint, he said. Forrest, who was also armed, then chased the suspect to an area near McDaniel and Fulton Streets.
Forrest was shot seven to eight times in the back, Meadows said. Meadows said there is evidence Forrest used his weapon but did not know if the suspect was shot.
An 11-year-old boy, described as a godson by Forrest’s manager Charles Watson, was in the Chevron at the time of the robbery. The boy is the son of Forrest’s girlfriend, Meadows said, and was able to provide police with a description of the suspect. Police are looking for that man and a second suspect who left in a red Monte Carlo, Meadows said.
The boy did not see the shooting, he added.
The APD is interviewing several witnesses Sunday.
Al Mitchell, who first trained Forrest when he was an amateur and then as a pro since 2000, said Forrest was “a guy who did everything right.”
“He didn’t take drugs. He wasn’t involved with gangs. He lived his life the right way. He was a gentleman,” said Mitchell, who learned of the news through Forrest’s manager, Charles Watson.
“I trained a lot of kids ... and most of them are now teachers or doing something else. They’re all good role models. They understand what life is about. They take care of their family. Vernon was like that. He took care of his mother, his sister, his son. He took care of his friends. How can something like this happen? Just in the wrong place at the wrong time – that’s all it was.”
Forrest, a longtime Atlanta resident, started boxing at age 9 and won his first major title in 2001, when he defeated Raul Frank for the IBF welterweight title. He is a recent WBC middleweight champ and 1992 Olympian who had a 41-3 career record with 29 knockouts.
He achieved long-sought recognition with two wins over “Sugar” Shane Mosley in 2002 that earned him the title of Ring Magazine’s Fighter of the Year.
“My goal, once I’m done, is to be considered one of the best boxers in my era,” Forrest told the AJC in 2007.
Forrest beat Ricardo Mayorga in 2003 for the WBC welterweight title and WBA super welterweight title. In 2007, he won the WBC light middleweight title against Carlos Baldomir.
In his last major match-up, in 2008, he reclaimed his WBC 154-pound title at age 37 after battering his rival, 27-year-old Sergio Mora in a unanimous decision.
Forrest was also involved in charity work. He started Destiny’s Child Inc., which provided housing and assistance to mentally challenged adults.
Mitchell says “The Viper” was training to fight again.
“He told me his plan was to fight again in September and then fight for the title in December,” Mitchell said. “He was supposed to call me this week with details.

Arturo Gatti R.I.P.
The boxing world lost a great one this weekend. While he could not see my boy PBF, he AT LEAST HAD THE HEART to get in the ring with him and compete. He was a legend. Tough guy. Took punishment but DEFINITELY gave it back out. I do not know the details of his death at this juncture but just like all the other recent 'known' deaths, I do not care. I am going to focus on what he bought to us. The legendary Micky Ward trilogy. The hits. The heart. Lets take a walk back and look at Mr. Gatti's hits....
