It was just a 3 weeks ago that we spoke on the phone, and you where telling me how you felt that in no way possible you could be that sick. You where strong, in shape, always training, felt good but for some reason this sickness appeared. My words to you where to stay positive and continue to fight with God by your side. He will cleanse you of all sickness and you will wake up a new man. That was our last conversation after that it just became texts. By that time I knew you needed support so I went out to see you in Chicago. When I entered the room and seen you in a form I couldn't imagine, all I could think is how did this happen. All that was going through my mind was how? Why? and when? Did you get like this? In a form that I could feel and see your bones. It hurt me and I began to pray for your recovery, and for God to give you a testimony that would move walls. A story that would give people chills of how powerful God is. But 4 days later he gave you something better, a first class ticket to paradise. Where you will be welcomed as a champion. Where the trumpets would sound and the party would begin. It's hurts me a lot to know all this and see you in your last moments. But it makes me proud to know you did everything a 25 year old would do. Your accomplishment can not even be tested. I still remember when you called me and said you just left court and talked to YMZ about being on show. They had told you the chances of your skit making it where slim. I told you don't worry once they see your smile and charisma they will buy it. 3 days later you called me in joy saying TMZ put you on the show. I jumped up off the couch in joy to know my best friend was already making a buzz and still did not have a title belt. Things like those make me a proud brother, it makes me thank God for our good times. Now I go back to Chicago to see you have the greatest funeral you would want to have. I love you my brother no words can describe how much I miss you. I will see you one day in heaven. Anyone reading this please don't be shy to help his family give him a proper burial.

Where are you Opponent? Saul Canelo Alvarez
The question is really where is my opponent? I don't know if maybe the Nike air Yeezy are coming back out or is it just Canelo's bad luck on not having a opponent? The kid is ready and he has already lost 3 guys. One to a tragic accident, the next to.. well lets not get too much into detail but I believe was not prepared, and knew Canelo would take his head off. Then the next guy just has no kind of heart. I mean OK lets be real maybe his jaw was broken that serious or just he did not want to continue. I have seen fighters (Gatti, Ali) that have continued with serious injuries in there fights. That is what made them PPV guys, and fan favorites. Because Gatti was not much of a boxer more of a slugger, but he could sell out Atlantic city any day at any time. Lets be real Victor Ortiz has been on the decline. Ever since maidana made him his step child he has not been the same. Yea he did have a tremendous fight with Berto, but even I watched that fight and really thought Berto could have won. If he continued to apply much more pressure. Some say I don't like Ortiz, that is not the case. What I don't like is he has had his chance way too many times, and he fails all the time. Maybe its time for him to hang it up or just take some time off. Then later on try to come back. His name will always ring bells to all boxing fans, but to critics his name wont even slide in through the doggy door. So by that lets go to the subject; Where is my opponent? Is what Canelo is demanding so we should look at who is out there still? Lets start with Saturdays winner Joselito Lopez its all fair and done if he should fight Canelo. He did beat the guy that was in line for him. That makes him a much better foe, and maybe not a quitter. Because if we all say the same fight I still wonder how was his face that bad and he stuck in there and kept fighting? The kid had maybe 2 hearts, and determination. His case is now open, so Mr. Schaefer lets begin to negotiate with this kid. Give him 30% maybe and he will still take the fight. The kid was suppose to be a pushover, but instead he pushed over Ortiz then broke his jaw. Yea his name does not bring in a crowd, but now it will. Because people would want to see if he hits that hard even possibly taking out Canelo. This guy is in drivers seat, and trust me I would not even give Ortiz a rematch. Let him take time off and rethink what he wants to do. Another guy that Canelo could fight is Miguel Cotto. Yea he might not be ready, but he is the biggest name available, but Cotto would want everything to go his way. Pay wise, glove size, everything and you ask why? The guy is a champion and brings a huge crowd wherever he goes. Plus this will spark the old rivalry up again Mexico vs. Puerto Rico. Which lots and lots of fans love it, its like giving the boxing game steroids. That fight will pump up fans to keep watching. Because we all know what to expect from Cotto, a hard fight, a exciting fight, a slug fest if it has to. Then the same from Canelo will his chin test good against Cotto power? Will his speed or boxing abilities match Cotto? There is questions that need anwsers, and maybe just maybe that is the fight boxing needs right now. So Lets keep it moving what big name is next? Maybe the underrated fighter named Erislandy Lara? Some say he does not deserve a shot but lets be 1000% honest and say he did beat Paul Williams. Being he was the shorter guy and his record did not show a lot of experience. He has been begging for a chance to prove his legitimate contender status. I think he deserves one, but he is rushing himself also throw him someone just as hungry? Hmmm? Lets say Omar Henry vs. Erislandy Lara? why not just put that under the Canelo fight. If I had the pull to make this happen I would. Of course all I have is sources thats all for now. But I think if fans petition it it could happen. Maybe some sort of tournament style involving all those names I just said. Throw in Spinks, and K9 also give them their chance. Dont forgot about Angulo he is in the mix. Throw a big tournament make boxing exciting again. I just need to own my own promotion so I could make it happen. I know all of the guys I mentioned would be willing to join. When they did the super 6, it showed the surge of Andre Ward presence. Plus the dominating force he is. Speaking of Him I take him 12 round decision over a desperate Chad Dawson. Thats all I have for now, but this whole week the question is WHERE IS MY OPPONENT??

Boxing Prospects Career to Greatness 1
Just about a week ago a lot of critics deemed boxing dead. They officially closed the casket on the sport and dug a whole 20 feet deep so it could never be revived. But this weekend things began to turn around, and reality is it really is getting hot this summer. I just do not mean the weather, but also the fight game!! First we start with the overrated or maybe just very well took care of Chavez Jr. He fought a mediocre fighter that some called a pushover, but somehow was able to get away with a KO. After that in his interview the big big BIG question came upon. "Will you fight Sergio Martinez"? his response, "Claro, lo voy a noquear en un round nadamas para que se calle la boca". In English terms- " I will knock this chump out in one round so he can shut the FUCK up!". Excuse my vulgar french non sense, but I like to put it out just how I see it. So lets go down the list on that fight and see how intense that will be. First why would a man be called "Maravilla"(Marvelous)? Why? Well let me say it like this, the guy has looked extremely marvelous in all of his prime fights. He has disposed of fighters some people consider top notch, after they fought with Sergio they look like top notch bullshit. So yea of course I am Sergio fan, and I truly think the gift is very gifted, and extremely hard to figure out the way he fights. If Chavez Jr does go through with this fight I do not see him stand a chance. I believe it could go 12 rounds of pure punishment, lets be honest the kid has not fought no one at the level of Sergio. Nor has he really been in there with a guy that knocks people out that some call the most feared Ah La Mr Paul Williams (I am also very disappointed his career had to end that way). There is really no more beating around the bush for Chavez its now or never, do or die, roll your dice, and play your cards you could win or strike out. In this instant I think he will not succeed. Not to disappoint all the Mexican people, but the kid is over rated comes in fat, looks like he drinks Corona's and eats Taco's outta the roach coach. Hate for my thoughts, but love me for my facts. Lets move away before I begin to really displease a lot the Mexican people. Some will wonder why does this guy classify Sergio as a prospect if the dude is a champion. Yea to all boxing fans he is, but to the media and the world that do not watch boxing still classify him as just a name. So to their eyes I call him a prospect but a damn good one. A guy that has been mentioned to likes of Paquiao, Mayweather. So in all honesty right now he is a seat that is burning hot, and of course do not forget he is fight one of Bob Arum guys. We all know how fat Jewish people get when they feel they are going to lose. If Sergio allows Arum to set everything up he is in a whirlwind of trouble, but luckily he is promoted by Lou Dibella. Which I know personally will not allow some bullshit like that to happen. Lets move on because I have lots to write about this is only part 1 of my blog. Next guy I love the way his career is going is good friend Omar Henry. His next fight is huge to boxing fans, and huge to him. He is now going to fight a guy that has some what credibility, but has fought big names in the Junior Middleweight division. Of course I foresee maybe a KO in the rounds of 1-3, but I know Omar will take advantage of this opportunity and showcase his power, and boxing skills. You can search around the message boards, and see the hate they have towards Omar. Saying he is a diva in the boxing game, and he has not really fought no one. But rest assure this year will be huge for the kid. Word is from my own source he is in line for a belt by the end of this year. Yea maybe Don King does not have power like he did. But he sure as well give you a title. To that extent Omar will crush all of his fights till he reaches that title shot. Lets just be real, who have you seen just come with pure force in the first round better than Omar??? Anyone? OK I rest my case the kid is superb when it comes to intimidate his opponent. I have talked to one guy he fought and he clearly said no man has ever rushed him with pure power like Omar has. It just reminds of Mike Tysons time when he would stare down opponents, and crush them with viscous uppercuts. The difference some people see Omar, and say oh aint the guy that appeared on TMZ? Was he not the one at he billboard awards? I mean no question about his huge huge Celeb status. But in the ring he has you seeing stars, and that is not only from his punches. Once you touch the canvas and look up; you are staring at one of boxing's young stars. Come June 23rd Omar will be victorious, and I predict a devastating KO. Stay tuned as tomorrow I will continue my Blog I have more guys to talk about. Keep following my Blog, and be on the lookout as I develop my site All New Thoughts.

Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Paquiao is not going to happen.
Saturday night Micheal Buffer read scorecards that sent the whole boxing community into a whirlwind of tragedy, total disrespect, and honestly love for the sport. What could probably be the biggest robbery in the sport of boxing next to maybe Pernall Whitaker vs. Julio Cesar Chavez, might just be the dagger that long awaited boxing fans were not expecting. Just maybe 6 months ago there where talks about a blockbuster fight which we could call the "Superbowl" of boxing between Mayweather and Paquiao was just a signature away from becoming a reality (trust me I have sources inside the mayweather camp). Now this so called fight is off, no matter what numbers could be thrown on the table for both fighters, the fans will not buy it. I know as fan of both fighters I am not going to buy it, and for what? So something like Saturday could happen. All fans now have to face the wall and either turn to UFC, or just wait for the next mega superstar to arise. Some people may disagree with me but lets be honest and look at certain things why this fight is not as entertaining. First Saturday match up should have been a walk in the park for Paquiao. No matter what experts thought on paper Bradley has never fought opposition the magnitude of Paquiao, nor has he ever been in that position. Also lets go back and look at how Paquiao life has changed drastically, from becoming a political figure to now becoming Pastor Paquiao. Also I hit the rewind button on the fight and clearly saw Paquiao hitting Bradley face flush with left's, and when they would close the gap Paquiao would come out the trenches hitting Bradley. There was no indication that Paquiao was in trouble. Second one key point to a mega fight happening is promoters, and lets be honest who are more stingy than JEWS??? Mr Arum is the white man of Don Kings, he is the Vince Mcmahon of boxing, or lets just call him a cheater. He might as well could have ordered Bradley to load his gloves with plaster ( new name "Bradlecheato"). I mean anything in boxing that has controversy it all comes from Bob Arum. Lets go back to Abril vs. Rios where seriously Abril was beating the crap out of a fat and lazy Brandon Rios. That fight somehow Rios won? Come on what hell kind of crack is Bob Arum smoking??? Lets not just blame it all on him lets go to the judges. First thing is where the hell are these judges picked? I mean is there a sign somewhere saying "Judge a boxing match this way". Like do you just apply online and wait for you to judge a fight? Shouldn't a judge be maybe a retired fighter? or someone with huge credible boxing experience. To this day I do not know how the hell these guys are chosen, and once I find out I will apply. Lets look at this, how much does a judge get paid? I have contacted some of my sources, and have come up with a rough number in around there pay scale:
PPV Main Even Fights: $20,000-$37,000
PPV Under card fights: $8,000-$14,000
Televised Fights: $4,000-$7,400
Local Fights: $500-$3,000
Those numbers are just a rough estimate and they are in those numbers because trust my credible source was once a judge (but he was a former boxer himself). So I mean these judges nowadays are just blind in this sport. We need to seriously fight a way to obtain new judges, or just let Harold Lederman be the main judge. Because every single fight he has done I have yet to disagree with his scorecard. So now that all of Paquiao notes are covered lets look at the notes on why Floyd wont make the fight. First the guy is locked up, and sources tell me he has not even thought about who he wants to fight. All that is going through his head is to keep calm, workout while in jail, and behave. From what I hear is no one is even looks at him, nor does he. Being who he is he is very well respected, but you might get a idiot or two that want to test him. Of course he knows that Manny lost this weekend, and really he doesn't care. Is his camp disappointed of course they are, but not at Paquiao they are disappointed and Bob Arum for not allowing the fight to go through the first, and second time. So I mean Floyd is still in his driver seat, but Paquiao is on Mr. Arum's booster seat waiting for daddy to tell him who to fight. I have spoke to Floyd himself and he has said that he wants to fight Paquiao, and some of my other sources have told me Paquiao wants to fight, but it boils down to Bob Arum. Second right now Floyd can fight whoever he wants and we all know he wants money, but is Paquiao still a top gunner with a controversial blemish on his record? Can he still be that aggressive and dominating Paquiao, or will this lost take toll on him? To be honest I think it will make him better, and in the second go he will destroy Bradley. But he has to leave Bob Arum ASAP!!! BECAUSE THAT CHEAP JEW WILL NOT ALLOW THIS FIGHT TO HAPPEN!!!! So lets be real Floyd could fight Cotto again and make more money because that fight was intense, or he could close the doubt against Victor Ortiz. I mean and Paquiao could fight Marquez a forth time and maybe this time KO him? There are still good fights for both men, but as of right now that fight is not even a consideration. Thanks to Bob Arum and his crook gang, and don't forget the cross-eyed judges.

Omar Henry the next Champion.
Omar D. Henry as we all know him or "O" Heeeeeenry!!! as others call him. Maybe even Mini Mike, or what the boxing world calls the "Cotto Clone". The most infamous prospect in boxing from being involved in Lohan rumors, making appearances on TMZ to being a vital component in mayweathers camp. This guy for all that don't know is the most dedicated and should be feared by all contenders. Because the work he puts in 24/7 from learning different techniques, to watching videos of all time greats, then to squeeze in his life as a modern day celeb. Or maybe to even helping the president run another election.
The kids record is untouchable knocking down all opponets and the wins from KO mostly all coming in the first round. Once that bell rings your stepping into a whirl of hell with a hungry lion by the name of Omar Henry!!!!
For those that don't know him personally he is down right the most likable guy in the world. He takes time to share his thoughts with others close to him. Even opens up to those he just met. He is a family man that see his fans as his family, and trust me that number is growing daily. To be in his position is like striking gold with his skill sets, good looks, and status of being a fear opposition to even the champions now!!! He is living life like no 25 year would, and that is on top of the world.
In this busy schedule of his he still finds time to write back to his fans, to call his fans, to skype his fans. For those that are around him and follow him be prepared for June 23 because its lights out for any opponent that steps in the ring. As Micheal Buffer would say "Lets get ready to Rumble!!!!!!!!!!!"
