Teach us to number our days aright,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

It's a good time to be alive and Irish. Irish boxers have been on a winning streak. Here is a pic of John Duddy nailing Campas from the current Boxing Monthly Mag. $6.95!(ouch), James Moore won at the garden, Andy Lee 6-0 as well. Simon O'Donnell another middleweight, who fought on the Duddy/Campas card also won, 2-0. Bernard Dunne 22-0, 13 ko's recently won the super bantemweight EBU title!
Congradulations to Andy Lee on his 6 rd unanimous decision. Andy now 6-0.
Congradulations as well to Maureen Shea who won a unanimous decision. She got popped by Tammy Franks after the fight was over! Sorry we didn't get to see you Moe!
Last night I watched Evander Holyfield fight from Texas. This was one of the worst fights I've seen. If E.H. threw 200 punches the whole fight it was alot. Hardley landed anything. His opponant, which I wont even look up his name, fought a lousey fight as well. Clinching, turning his back on E.H., constantly backing up. I wanted to erase this fight from my memory bank if that were possible. They gave the fight to E.H. after 12 rds of this NON- FIGHTING. How do you train for weeks and then get in the ring and basically do nothing? There should have been a draw awarded to these two for doing nothing. Neither of them deserved to win a "Championship" belt. I've seen better fights in the school yard.
To renew my lost mojo, I think the whole boxing world might be nashing their teeth after that performance, I was gonna gouge my eyes out, I perscribe watching the Duddy/Campas fight, it really works wonders.
The station which aired the fight neglected to show Maureen Shea fight, which would have been 100x better than the E.H. fight. Instead they showed a half hour commercial to buy the E.H. fight. Then they showed the same stupid rap/boxing music video, 3 times they ran this!
Out of respect for Chet, I'm not gonna curse but I want to tell you all how I really feel! BAD FIGHT AND BAD MEDIA AND BAD JUDGING by the officials who would not stop the undercard, when a man was blind in one eye and couldn't see out of the other! With a broken hand to boot! They let the fight go on!!!!!! ARRRGGHHH!!!
ENOUGH SAID!
HEYNOW!!!!!! CHECK OUT THE REPLAY OF THE DUDDY/CAMPAS FIGHT ON MSG TUESDAY NIGHT 7-8p.m.!!!! THATS OCTOBER 31, 2006!
According to the IrishEcho, there was an Evening with Barry McGuigan and John Duddy tonight for the price of $50.00, tickets plus reception $150.00. I just got wind of it, so it's too late baby. I'll spend the evening at home with family for free.
