What Counts Marco Antonio Barrera and Rocky Juarez fought a wonderful war at the Staples Center in LA Saturday night. It was a classic matchup between an old pro and young gun each out to prove he was the better man. But the fight was marred, as fights that go the distance sometimes are, by the official scorecards of the judges. After the scores were tallied and a split-decision draw announced, after the Staples Center was emptied of 10,000 fans and HBO moved on to something else, the head of the California Athletic Commission checked the addition on the scorecards and discovered an error. One plus one does not equal three. Tell it to the judge. The fight wasn't a draw. Barrera actually won. What did you feel when you first heard about the Barrera-Juarez bad math? |

Witter A Slapper, A Flapper (A Career In The Crapper?)
"Another upset! I keep making the right bet. I never thought for a moment that Witter was a good boxer or a hitter. He is just another slapper and a big-mouth flapper. In the hurt business, no word can hit you like a fist. He got knocked on his butt, and his words didn't cushion his fall. Hopefully, he will now shut up. More of today's boxers should learn the art of hurting, and cut out all this garbage of hyping. All the sightings of "Big Foot" and "UFOs" have been delusions, but these sightings of upsets in 2008 boxing are hard realities." ---TSS reader Radam is lovin' the upsets
