Marvin Hagler murdered by the Fauci and his vaccine


This is quite possibly the best first round of any fight I ever saw. Hagler and Hearns. Two warriors.

It's a shame that a great warrior like Marvin Hagler had to die because he relied on fake science, liars and cheats.

Not at this time

 

John Glenn was a lousy politician but he did say one thing in his life that made sense. When they asked him how he felt about sitting in his rocket ship about to blast off he said: I felt exactly how you would feel if you were getting ready to launch and knew you were sitting on top of 2 million parts — all built by the lowest bidder."

So yesterday I get a call from my doctor to tell me he has the vaccine and I am eligible because of my age and my underlying condition. He asked if I wanted the shot. I said not at this time. He asked me why. I said "That shot is made by Johnson and Johnson. You know who owns Johnson and Johnson. The guy who owns the Jets. Why would I ever take a shot from the guy who owns the Jets?"

He couldn't disagree.

This shot is very dangerous. It killed Marvin Hagler. The guy got hit in the face for ninety rounds by angry moolies and didn't have a mark on him. One needle and he is dead.

Closer to home my 82 year old mother-in-law took the shot. Ten days later she had a mini stroke. Coincidence? I think not. We know a school teacher who took the shot and ten days later dropped dead. I bet there are thousands of cases like that which are being covered up by the media and the government. I don't know if I will ever be able to travel again if I don't get the shot but I am going to stick it out as long as I can.

When Mom was in the hospital they only allowed one visitor at a time. When it was my turn I told her a story about strokes. You see there were these three old ladies sitting on a bench at a park in Florida. A guy wearing a raincoat comes up and opens it up and he is naked and his pisca deal is hanging out. The first lady had a stroke. The second lady had a stroke. But the third lady didn't have a stroke. You know why?

Her arms were too short.

I finally know someone who supposedly died of the coronavirus


I know a lot of people. From living in New York and working in and around Times Square for thirty years and having the store and all the bullshit I have done in my life. With all of those people I did not know anyone who died because of this corona virus bullshit until today. Jimmy Glenn has passed.

They have the story in today's New York Post. Jimmy was 89 so he had a good run. He was a fixture at his bar on 44th Street where he was surrounded with boxing photos from his long career as a trainer. In the early eighties I would eat lunch in there about three times a week. Now he didn't serve food at the time. A couple of guys from the office and I would go and get our shoes shined next door. Then we would hit the chinks to get a take out and bring it to the bar to drink our lunch. The bar tender was an old friend of mine from when he was the day guy at The Quiet Man. So we would sit and watch the tv and enjoy a lunch on a slow summer day.

Later it would be a place to hit when we did a pub crawl. Jimmy might be in the bar then and we would catch up. I think he was managing Terence Ali at the time. I had tickets to the boxing shows at the Felt Forum and would sometimes see him there. He was a class act all the way.

I think he is like 90% of the people who are succumbing to this virus. He was old and with health problems. If it wasn't this it would have been the regular flu or pneumonia. It's is a shame but no reason to shut the whole country down. You know if we could ask Jimmy I think he would agree. He was a very sensible guy

RIP Jimmy. Hoist a couple in Heaven for me.

I like Eggs!


Did you ever think about how many eggs you have eaten in your life?

We go through 2 dozen a week. Just today I used six. Two scrambled for me. Two for the french toast I made for the wife and the mother-in-law. Two for the Swedish meatballs I made for dinner. I am always using eggs to bread eggplant and chicken cutlets or for an egg wash for the apple pie I made yesterday.

Above is a photo of the simple scrambled eggs I had for breakfast with scallions. garlic and cheese on gluten free toast. I can't photograph it as nice as Chip and I don't have a great recipe like he would have to share with us.We miss you Chip come back soon. You are a good egg.

It's in the bag.....




He hit the heavy bag in lethal combinations. Left, left, left, right, uppercut. Sweat dripped off of him in a torrent as he banged the bag into submission. His shoulder ached with all the fires of hell. He couldn’t talk about it. He couldn’t complain. Nobody would give a damn. He was just meat. Meat don’t talk. Meat don’t bitch. Meat just got et. Just the same as it had always been.

If you are looking for a Movie this weekend....check out "Chuck"





I really enjoyed this flick. It is the live story of one of my favorite characters Chuck Wepner. The Bayonne Bleeder. Man he hated to be called that.

Chuck was the model for the movie "Rocky." He fought Ali back in  the day. I ran into him once in a disco in Manhattan in the 1970's. I was a punk kid and he was big shit at the time. Later I also ran across him at Jimmy Glenn's bar in Midtown which was a big boxing hangout.

Anyway this movie brought it all back. Boxing. The seventies The shit we used to do back then, The clothes. The cars. The discos. Going to the close circuit fights at the movie house on the Deuce. Man, Memories.

All of that is gone now. Dead as Murphy's dick. Now it is all hipsters and political correctness.

But check out how it used to be. Back in the Day.

Retired black guy challenges white guy who is the current champion!

No not Obama.

It is Floyd Mayweather the undefeated welterweight champ who is challenging MMA champion Conor McGregor. He is pushing it because it would be a big payday and he is pretty confident that he will kick Conor's ass.

I am not much of an MMA fan and I used to be a big time Boxing Fan so I have to go with Floyd on this one. I don't see how McGregor has much of a chance. When they go out in the ring unless McGregor kicks him in the balls or something to start it off I don't see how he handles a pounding from as talented a fighter as Floyd.

Now styles make fights so who knows. I remember many years ago when Cassius Clay "fought" that douche Jap wrestler Antonio Inoki. What a farce that was and what a waste of money paying to see that fight! Is this that farce revisited? I don't know.

Maybe some of youse are MMA fans and have a different perspective. I would be interested in what you have to say. More likely is that not one of us have seen an MMA fight.

Damn we are a bunch of old codgers.

Protect yourself at all times....Marquis of Queensbury Rules.

What it’s like being an openly gay boxer, in 3 terrible tweets 

New York Post By Mark W. Sanchez November 27, 2016


Jabs get lobbed at Orlando Cruz seemingly without end. Especially when he hits the canvas.
The Puerto Rican boxer, who in 2012 became the first active fighter to come out as gay, was stopped in the eighth round by WBO lightweight champion Terry Flanagan on Saturday in Cardiff, Wales. He was also set back on Twitter, where those within his own industry made homophobic remarks at his expense.
Before Cruz, 35, dropped to 25-5-1, getting denied a world title, British pro boxer Frankie Gavin reflected on whom he wanted to win, revealing more about himself and his friends than the boxers between the ropes.
“I have nothing against gay people have gay friends,” Gavin said, as his nearly 50,000 followers waited for the “but” that would come. “But if I lost to a gay lad I would get bantered for life by pals so Flanagan has to win.”
Gavin deleted the tweet as social media venom was directed his way. Peter Fury was not as concerned with the backlash.

"Ali, Titan of Boxing and the 20th Century, Dies at 74"

NYT:  Muhammad Ali, the three-time world heavyweight boxing champion who helped define his turbulent times as the most charismatic and controversial sports figure of the 20th century, died on Friday. He was 74.

His death was confirmed by Bob Gunnell, a family spokesman.

Ali was the most thrilling if not the best heavyweight ever, carrying into the ring a physically lyrical, unorthodox boxing style that fused speed, agility and power more seamlessly than that of any fighter before him.

But he was more than the sum of his athletic gifts. An agile mind, a buoyant personality, a brash self-confidence and an evolving set of personal convictions fostered a magnetism that the ring alone could not contain. He entertained as much with his mouth as with his fists, narrating his life with a patter of inventive doggerel. (“Me! Wheeeeee!”)

Lean in

There a knockout video of a boxing knockout, which, sadly, I cant embed here. Very very sadly.
In the main event of Fox Sports 1′s boxing debut Monday night, cancer survivor Danny Jacobs defeated Giovanni Lorenzo with an epic third-round knockout that reaches stratospheric levels of epic thanks to Fox’s super slow-mo camera.
Don't mess with cancer survivors, unless you are referring to cancer survivor Lance Armstrong. Who, btw, is now referred to as "disgraced professional cyclist". Lance seems to have max out his cancer survivor, don't leave home w/o it, card.
"If you want to shoot me the bird, that’s OK," the disgraced cyclist says of his upcoming ride, which comes half a year after his highly publicized interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Speaking of stratospheric levels of epic; seven tours of the ef*n Tour de France. If its too good to be true, it's probably Oprah charging Swiss Sales Assistant with racism.
