Lancelot Links:
1. Will it ever end? More steroid madness from the guys who brought you Game of Shadows.
2. Nebraska fans are not happy. Can you blame them?
3. Now that he’s won again, who will the Pride of Wales fight next. Accoriding to Bad Left Hook, there’s no shortage of potential opponents for Joe Calzaghe.
4. New head coach of the Boston Celtics. Kevin Garnett. Thanks Boston SportZ:
5. Kosuke Fukudome can throw a Major League tantrum. Don’t believe me? Just ask the guys over at Home Run Derby.
Josh Q. Public:Blinding me with science. Science! Science! I can hear machinery. Blinding me with science. Science! Science! -Thomas Dolby
Public Service Announcement: OK, here we go! Ahhhh. The sweet science. JoeCalzaghe. The sweetest scientist of them all. Dropping the science like a physicist. Dropping it like the bestest pugilist. Dropping it with his big left fist. Better than the Bald Bull. Better than Mr. Sandman. Better than Piston Hurricane. Better than Kid Quick. Body blow! Body blow! Knock him out! Joe Calzaghe maybe the best boxer in the world right now. You got Pretty Boy. You got Pac Man. You got Winky. You got the Executioner. All great fighters. All the brightest of the brighters. But none of them shine as bright as the Pride of Wales. The Italion Dragon. Joe Calzaghe. Undefeated Joe Calzaghe. 43-0 and Joe Calzaghe. Thirty-two knockouts Joe Calzaghe. Damage. Unh! Damage. Unh! Damage. Unh! Damage, destruction, terror and mayhem. Pass him a sissy and suckas he’ll slay him. I’m gonna knock you out. Mama said knock you out. He’s knocking folks out at a staggering pace. Knocking out mugs all over the place. Hail Mary, full of Grace. Just knocked out Contender alumnus and the Pride of Providence, Peter Manfredo. Knocked him out in the third. You heard? Word! Manfredo had no answer for Calzaghe’s trademark super-fast punches. Punches in bunches. Punches that put you out to lunches. The Pride of Wales came out at a frenetic pace in the third. The Pride of Wales threw ninety-two punches over the one minute-and-a-half the third lasted. Blasted. Outclasseded. Flurries. Furious flurries. Fast and Furious flurries. If you have what it takes, you can have it all. Dominic Toretto style. Manfredo did his best to bob and weave. He rope a doped the evil with righteous bobbin’ and weavin’. Tried to let the good get even. To no avail. C’mon down. Welcome to the Terrordome. Referee, Terry O’Connor was forced to halt the bout. Winner and still champeen, Joe Calzaghe. That was the Dragon’s twentieth successful title defense. His twentieth successful defense since he won the title from Chris Eubank in 1997. Goodness! That equals Bernard the Executioner Hopkins’ and Larry the Easton Assaisin Holmes’ marks. It also moves Joe within five of the Brown Bomber, Joe Louis’ record. Gracious. With a win over Denamrk’s Mikkel the Hitman Kessler, hopefully in July, The Welsh Warrior will take his rightful place atop boxing’s elite. C’mon down. Welcome to the Terrordome.
