THU November 30, MIKE MOORE - “I want Cotto. I want Hatton. I want the guys the media talks about.

TUE Novmber 14, BUSTER PARIS - Let’s just get right to it – “King” Sam Soliman (32-8) is a fight away from being the Middleweight Champion of the World – all he needs is the chance - and interestingly enough for some reason we ignore him or simply pass him over – I’m guilty of it too and it stops now.
A few months ago I mentioned Sam in an article – just a small little blurb - and I got a gracious email from his manager Stu Duncan thanking me for the compliment I gave to Sam...

Mayweather and Baldomir for a Slice of History!
FRI November 3, CLIFF ROLD - I’m picking Carlos Baldomir (43-9-6, 13 KOs) to retain the World welterweight championship Saturday night.

WED November 1, MICHAEL MOORE - Every sport has their polarizing athletes. The guy who fans either rabidly love, or passionately hate. Deion Sanders. Terrell Owens. Allen Iverson. Supremely confident men whose talent is immeasurable, but who march to the beat of their own drum and in turn, tend to rub people the wrong way.
