On Live now, let the circus begin!

Undercard is probably better than the fight with Jose Casamayor. Reports requested from contributors with the Pay Per View Package

"Professional boxing. Eesh. All the atmosphere and seemliness of a slave auction. They put the announcers in tuxedoes to try to give blood lust elegance, and pretend the participants aren't risking (and receiving) permanent brain damage."

It's great, isn't it? You know what I really miss, though? I miss the bimbos in the skimpy swinsuits and heels, prancing around the ring with the round cards. If they still had that, the experience would be complete.

My dad and grandad watched them too.

Here's a photo from the Friday Night Fights (Gillette Cavalcade of Sports) and I bet you can still sing the theme song!

Your memories sound wonderful. ;-) My grandfather used to tell me stories about fights that happened around the turn of the century. We wasn't alive then, but he knew all about everything that happened in those fights. I especially remember him telling me about the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight (I think it was around 1898). That was when boxing was what it should be. Today's "sport" is a farce. A business. And a crooked one. Anyone who would pay to watch tonight's fight is not watching a sport. They are watching a staged spectacle.

I hope it is Tyson. I blew 25 bucks on the horse race this afternoon and I would like to get it back with Lewis tonight. And believe me it might not sound like much but I treat nickles like manhole covers.

My job is color commentator. I don't know beans about fighting, but I CAB post pictures! LOL!

Hopefully, Don King is the scariest person there tonight. I would hate to post pictures of a Clinton or Gore.

As soon as someone says that Lewis sucks the announcer quickly tells them off and hangs up.
