http://blogs.vindy.com/moohead Just another WordPress weblog Sun, 30 Sep 2007 13:07:38 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en One fighter was prepared. The other was not. One fighter overcame adversity. One did not. Both fighters were in good physical condition, but only one was in great physical condition. You would think from the way HBO kisses Emanuel Steward's ass, that Jermain Taylor would have had the perfect fight plan going into ... http://blogs.vindy.com/moohead/2007/09/30/ill-ask-the-question-why-isnt-anyone-saying-jack-loew-is-a-better-trainer-than-emanuel-steward/ I know. 70% of the national guys are picking Taylor. He's got a pedigree. He's got big mouth Manny Steward. He's fought bigger names. The New York press conference told me something. When a fighter AND his trainer try to provoke an opponent, they feel their work is unfinished. They feel ... http://blogs.vindy.com/moohead/2007/09/29/pavlik-tko-round-10/ If I was Jermain Taylor, I'd figure Pavlik gets off to slower starts. He's not a "flash" knockout puncher, and is an accumulation power fighter. Also Jermain Taylor cannot stand in front of pavlik for very long. If he doesn't catch Kelly cold early, the odds are minimal he can ... http://blogs.vindy.com/moohead/2007/08/07/can-pavlik-withstand-the-first-4-rounds-when-he-does/ The past couple of months have been difficult. Starting with my father's quadruple bypass, my own knee surgery, my father's staph infection, and finally, my Mother's passing 2 weeks ago. There are very few commentaries I can come up with in the face of these realities. But I realize that life ... http://blogs.vindy.com/moohead/2007/07/23/a-long-absence-explained/ I wasn't one of the millions who got suckered into paying $54.95 to watch Oscar De La Hoya and Pretty Boy Floyd do the rhumba on "Dancing with the Stars". I vomited when I read that these 2 bozos were going to bring boxing back to full luster. The big ... http://blogs.vindy.com/moohead/2007/05/20/i-was-wrong-about-the-outcome-of-the-pavlik-fight-but-i-was-right-about-the-fight-wed-see/ I get a lot of e-mails. Most make sense. Some...I truly wonder about. here are 2 that are beyond the left field lounge at the Jake: Hey man, I heard you mention male escorts. Not sure if you go both ways or if your show is some kind of front but here’s ... http://blogs.vindy.com/moohead/2007/05/02/from-mr-mooheads-mailbag-just-another-day-ugh/ The local news wants to pile on the Va Tech shooting bandwagon, so they bring in a "psychologist" who has never examined Cho. His opinions are based on what he read. His comments: "Based on my reading, I'd say he's not schizophrenic because he was functioning day to day. I'd say ... http://blogs.vindy.com/moohead/2007/04/24/the-va-tech-shootings-and-the-local-news-what-does-it-say-about-us/ No. I'm not going to defend Don Imus. He's old, passe, and plain stupid. "Nappy headed ho's" won't even get a laugh in a nitrous oxide bar. The fact that he's 76 just shows he's old and wanted attention. A lot like Grandpa when he wet himself during Thanksgiving dinner ... http://blogs.vindy.com/moohead/2007/04/13/don-imus-and-al-sharpton-hows-about-a-little-fairness/ In the old days, a loss like Monday's would be a rallying call to a group of 18 and 19 year olds. Today, it's time to talk about going to the NBA, and compute how much your agent might get you. I really don't get it. Here's a quote from a ... http://blogs.vindy.com/moohead/2007/04/03/osu-settles-for-2-while-players-consider-their-options/ Look. I'm thrilled OSU is in the final four. They could win it all. They have been composed in their tourny games and have come back from adversity multiple times. But I'm sick of Greg Oden getting the credit. Really. The guy plays 20 minutes a game and accumulates fouls like ... http://blogs.vindy.com/moohead/2007/03/25/mr-moohead-tires-of-the-how-great-greg-oden-is-talk/
