Boxing News and Notes for 06/15

Some of these might be older stories, and I'll not post a lot today...but I want to get in to the habbit of posting boxing news, and the best way to do that is to start doing it.

Hector "Macho" Camacho (who when I was much younger I thought was boxing's version of Randy Savage just cause of the name) sentenced to 7 years for burglary of course he could never see the inside of a jail cell.

When boxer Diego Corrales crashed his motorcycle and died awhile back he was really, really, really drunk Showtime paid tribute to him on last Saturday's card.

Armando Garcia of the CSAC has been busy lately It seems that both James Tony and his May 24 opponent Danny Batchelder tested positive for steroids after their fight. You don't often see fights where both men fail. These guys must've been hanging out with Royce Gracie and Johnnie Morton.

There is a fight that intrigues me because of the names involved. Paulie Malignaggi Vs. Lovemore N'dou. Lovemore N'dou may be the greatest name since God Shamgod. Hey, I'm not really up on all of what's going on in boxing right now, and with the weight classes being organized beyond all comprehension and the fact there are a jillion titles...the kind of analysis you're going to get from me for awhile is that Lovemore N'dou is a great name.

So many jokes to make about this story that I just don't know where to start.

How about throwing this quote at you.

"Thanks for those who supported a convict like me," Siriporn said at a press conference after her release. "Some may not agree but I don't care. I am happy
that there are people willing to support me. I like to thank all the officials as well."

and that's not even the funniest thing you'll read.

I can't top that story today and I may never be able to do so which worries me since my boxing coverage is in its earliest stages.
