My favorite boxer did what he does best last night – got robbed. That’s ok. He has the respect of the biggest names in the sport, and frankly, no one (including him, I suspect) cares about what the scorecard says at the end of one of his matches. He is incredibly skilled and always puts on a great show.

The best fight I’ve ever seen was him (Emanuel Burton at the time) vs Micky Ward in 2001. He arguably lost (although not by the margin the judges had), but it was the perfect matchup of styles.

Emanuel, if you ever happen to chance upon this blog, please leave a comment. That would officially make me the coolest blogger in the world.
