Hopkins Beats Winky Wright to Retain Light Heavyweight Championship!

This fight was held last weekend in Las Vegas. It was a decent fight all in all, and better than most people would have guessed. No one got really hurt throughout the fight, but winky suffered a headbutt gash above his right eye in the 2nd round. It bothered him through the rest of the fight. I do have one complaint with the fight and it is how Hopkins simply held for almost the entire fight. The referee should be in some serious trouble because he didn't deduct any points for this on-going offense. The holding was even blatant at times and simply in excess. By the end of the 11th round I had the whole fight tied up on my scorecard (one round I scored a tie 10-10). I thought that Hopkins definitely did enough to win the final round, so I would have given the fight to him as well. He won on all three judges scorecards by 116-112, 117-111, and 117-111. My scorecard (which was more realistic than the paid off judges in this fight) read 115-114 in favor of Hopkins...You can see the fight on demand on HBO if you have that good cable! Ya Dig!

Second Miami trip in less than a Year...

I told everyone I was going to go back to Miami again...It is such a beautiful place filled with beautiful people that I had to return. I went with wifey again (of course), and this time we stayed for a full week, which was plenty of time to hit the beach, get on some jet skis and eat the best damn food ever. I went to the same low-key hotel that Manolo from scarface actually stays at when he goes back to Miami to visit. It's called the Circa Hotel and you will remember it from my last visit. On this trip, my laptop broke, my digital camera broke, and budget rental car ripped me out of about $200...Even with all that kaos, it was still a great trip and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I got a new camera when I came back, and my laptop was replaced by my job (thank God). Well, I also managed to get some pics of some random bodies in the pool and on the beach...check em out...
