I knew I left myself open for that one... and I thought about mentioning anyone besides Tyson.

Contender.

Thoughts?

I really enjoyed it. Both fights tonight were great. That second one was unreal.

Gatti / Baldomir should be another exciting fight, face any fight except the mayweather fight with Gatti is exciting.

Shelly Finkel was interviewed on Fightnews.com and had some interesting things to

say:http://www.fightnews.com/scott212.htm

QuoteIs the fight between Wladimir Klitschko and Shannon Briggs official?
No. But it will be. We're working on it, but it's not done yet... so I can't comment any further. Right now, it's a work in process and there are no stumbling blocks. So we'll probably know in the next two weeks if it's a definite.

Briggs is ranked #7 by the IBF. What were the determining factors in choosing him to fight for Wlad's IBF title?
One - Briggs is a very tough opponent. He's on an eleven fight winning streak, all by knockout. Two - It being at Madison Square Garden is a perfect venue for it. Three - We couldn't wait til after August to see that no one got injured in the Oleg Maskaev/Hasim Rahman fight. And four - We tried James Toney first, be he decided to fight Samuel Peter instead.

Briggs is a nasty fighter, not great butthe guy is big and nasty, if he isn't too slow against Wlad he could knock him out. I cannot believe that Toney turned down a fight with Wlad, unless they offered him a insane low number.

QuoteJeff Lacy. What's going on with him?
Jeff will be fighting in October on a double header, with Diego Corrales in the main event (opponent to be named). We were trying to make a fight with Tarver, but obviously that didn't happen. So as of right now, we don't have any names yet.

hopefully Lacy can get it together and come back strong. He got abused in his last fight against Calzageeeeeeee f'n bastige.
