I checked WBAN a few times this week There were 3 articles on Erin Mcgowan None of them being significant news Is she managed by Sue Fox ?
Who really cares about her ? Woman's Boxing must be really on the downside

I totally and completely disagree..... Some great recent posts @ WBAN. 1. Mia St. John - September fighter of the month. AAA+++ choice. 2. The photos of Erin training/making the rounds in Vegas are cool. Wish there were more posts of that type!! 3. Mr. McCoy's most recent post (Anne Mathis) is superior writing. I concur with 99% of what he wrote. There was only one small part that made me roll my eyes  and sigh in disgust.  That of course is when he described Holm's manager/promoter as a "very smart boxing guy." Will there ever come a time when Bernie's eyes are opened to the truth about LF, or is Bernie doomed to a lifetime of making excuses? If LF ever signs a contract to have Holm fight either Mathis or Braekhus outside of the cozy confines of New Mexico, I will tear off my clothes and run down a busy street naked - while drinking an ice-cold bottle of Miller Chill. But other than that small bit - great writing!!   www.womenboxing.com/NEWS2012/news083112mccoy.htmTodd-- seriously, how can you take MCCoy at face value? HOLM and MATHIS never fought twice. That bit of ballet in June was a farce. Matter of fact, there is a Senator most interested in how that fight was scored...sure it was on Indian land...but if the Indians don't abide by the national boxing commission, nobody from the USA is going to fight on their lands...and wouldn't that upset the Vegas casinos?!?!? Holm-Mathis 2 should be expunged from any record book...you simply cannot win a fight by running away, grabbing and throwing 1/2 as many punches as your opponent and landing 1/2 as much!!!That ain't boxing...and McCoy shills for #3? ??

Good golly gash darn TD!! OK, I only agree with 95% So the ref allowed Holm to get away with excessive clinching. That's on the ref - not Holm. If I'd been Holm, I'd been clinching Mathis every chance I got too. Does it make for a great fight? No. But that's why Holm-Braekhus would be a far better match-up for fight fans than Holm-Mathis III. Holm clearly didn't want another war with Mathis - she knew all too well what can happen. But I think she would go all out against Braekus. There is less danger involved. And that's why Holm-Braekhus has to be the next BIG-FIGHT *if* Braekhus wins on the 22nd. Todd- "inquiring minds" want to know what is going on down there...how they do what they do and in my opinion, to the detriment to the sport. And you do point to the obvious culprit but the puppetteer is who is wanted. The culprit will deliver the puppetteer, IMO. No way anybody with a shred of fairness calls Holm-Mathis #2 a "fight"... even more far fetched, a "fair fight" and that is where all the heat is right now. How can any sport possibly survive and gain the public trust when so many robberies occur in broad daylight. Its sorta like "Hey Todd, how about you open a Free Midwest Bank Checking Account during the Days of Bonnie and Clyde?" Its gonna pop and when it does there will be a wailing and a gnashing of the teeth...people can't steal from fighters forever. TD |
