If you skipped Pacquiao vs. Clottey because you don’t have the patience to watch a lopsided 12-round boxing match — you and us both, brother — this is really the only thing you missed: Jim Lampley having a stroke in the eighth round and shouting like Emeril Lagasse on a crack binge. Who needs CompuBox when we have this loud jackass?
After the jump: Frank Mir describes the motorcycle wreck that nearly ended his career/life, and Georges St. Pierre gets fruity.

To be fair, GSP is still a major pimp…

commentsOh and I'm not old either...and i like to watch boxing.
The only people who care are old people, and since sports are watched more by young people, who gives a shit about boxing.
Stolen hats had me dying!
the mir vs nogueira fight was on december 27th, 2008
I have nothing but respect for Mir. To overcome that kind of adversity, from being on top of the heavyweight divisio to almost losing his leg and losing to two guys who would have easily beaten in his prime and then coming back and winning gold (albeit "fake" gold), losing the biggest fight of his career and taking the loss as a way to better himself as a fighter...those kind of peaks and troughs would completely break a lot of athletes. From what I read, his wife was really the one who picked him up and made him man up and fight through all the shit. What a woman!
Mir's on top of his game right now - he's added mass and a dangerous striking game with knockdown (if not knockout) power to complement his deadly submission skills. Carwin hasn't really utilised his wrestling much in his UFC bouts and Gonzaga proved that his chin isn't exactly granite. Someone is going to sleep in this one but, so long as Mir keeps his head in the game and maybe pictures Brock Lesnar's face every time he throws a punch, I'm choosing power and refined technique over straight out brute force.
That Lampley video is hilarious. I like boxing AND MMA, I hope that after the Mayweather/Mosley fight these dumb boxing promoters can get their heads out of their asses long enough to line up the Pac/Mayweather fight. It would be the last of the great fights, there's no other boxers behind these guys that would ever merit this much attention.
disagree with the first post, completely agree with the second post.
Boxing-I do not understand how a bunch of people cannot come to terms with how to divide a multi million dollar pie amongst themselves, until this changes Boxing will continue to collect dust.
Mir v Carwin- From what I have seen from Carwin, a good enough striker will be able to put him away, my money is going on the speculation that Mir will be good enough on his feet to hurt Carwin and perhaps leave him vulnerable for a stoppage or submission.
Pac Vs. Mayweather was supposed to be the biggest fight in years. This was a last minute alternative because Money is a bitch. I like boxing, and there is allot of good boxers out there but you will never hear about them. boxing is becoming an antique like most of it's hardcore fans.
And then it's almost embarrassing to continue to have to listen to old timers like Lampley struggle to make the sport sound entertaining. Could you imagine watching that fight without the announcers? I was gonna say I would kill myself... but then again, listening to Lampley kinda makes me want to kill myself already. Total boredom.
