Happy Thanksgiving!!

Thanksgiving is probably the most meaningful holiday of all; no giving material gifts to people, no pretending to be someone your not, and no paying tribute to one single person. Happy Thanksgiving!!...P.S.Caught this video of Mos Def & Talib Kweli performing History. I can't wait for Blackstars second album.

Andre "S.O.G" Ward

Yesterday, Showtime concluded the first part of their Super-Middleweight tournament with the fight pitting undefeated hometown favorite, and 2004 gold medal winner Andre Ward (21-0-13kos) against the champion Mikkel Kessler (42-2-32kos) of Denmark. The last time I saw Ward fight live, I was sitting front row because I had won free tickets on a boxing radio show. Yesterday, he put on a clinic..His speed and versatility as a fighter ultimately proved the difference as Kessler had no answers for Wards straight right hand. All of Oracle Arena was standing up chanting "S.O.G!! S.O.G!!" while he continued pepper Kessler with jabs and straight right hands until the bout was stopped due to a cut from an accidental headbut in the 11th. Ward won by technical Majority decision..a clean sweep.

November 14th, 2009

On this day, Manny pacquiao makes history, while I helped make a class event happen. After getting home at 3:30 in the morning from a 14hour final (event), I at least went to sleep knowing that the pride of the Phillippines achieved what no one else in boxing as ever done: capture 7 world titles in 7 different weight classes. Even though I missed the excitement of the live fight I was at least able to learn some valuable lessons with some dope peeps. Props to Miguel Cotto for his valiant effort in the ring...Mayweather awaits, and ill forsure be in Vegas next year for what is most likely Mannys last fight.
