First, let me announce with sadness that my good friend, boxing promoter and matchmaker Moe Smith passed away in Idaho on Oct. 28. Moe was a great guy and a great friend (along with his wife Marcia). These are the tough old timers that boxing can ill afford to lose.***

Also, let me tell you of my New Years resolution, only one, which I intend to keep. I will be retiring from boxing and devote full time to my next book and taking care of my ailing wife, Lois. I will still do some fight analysis as time allows, but sticking to a regular schedule now is going to be tough.

I will however continue as I have been until years end and so will Glove2Glove, when my friend Dave Wilcox will take my place at its head 포토샵 cs4 무료 다운로드.

I also will be telling of some of my memories over my journey in the realm of boxing.***

Speaking of Moe Smith, as I was, Moe helped to put together (along with the late Ted Walker and Sharkey Begovich, the ‘Cow Pasture’ fights in Gardnerville, Nevada.

I have many great memories of those events, which towards the end of its run was telecast by ESPN. I even have a picture of the cows looking over the fence and watching the matches. The fight was really held in a cow pasture. I remember before the event there was always a great artichoke feed put on by the Ormsby House in Carson City.

I recall one Cow Pasture fight when Clinton Reymus was fighting a tough opponent from Northern California for the third time. His foe was a tough youngster named Herman Cavansuela, and he was trying to win what was to be a best of three bout. It turned out to be more of a two out of three falls.

Moe Smith was managing Reymus at the time but that’s secondary to the story. The punch line here was Moe, a former pro wrestler had promised to bring big time wrestling to Northern Nevada, and this boxing match, although not planned, turned out to be the correct time for it 다운로드.

After a few punches were thrown, both foes took to grabbing, holding, butting and every other illegal tactic as they tumbled out of the ring and continued grappling with each other until it was finally broken up and cooler heads prevailed. The fight was called a ‘no contest.’

Moe Smith had indeed brought wrestling to Nevada, only it was the real thing, not an exhibition.

Clinton was a tough as nails Native American who had the reputation of being ‘nasty and dangerous’ when he was drinking. He wound up committing suicide at a young age. His body was found near the railway tracks in Reno.

I ran into him once at a casino bar in Reno, when he offered to buy me a drink. I was driving and in a bit of a rush, but I sat down next to him while he was downing a few drinks,  and we spoke for a while. I don’t know where he got the reputation from, because we always got along great, but I was told afterwards that I was very lucky. Had I only known I’m not sure I would have sat down and actually enjoyed the company.

Rest in peace Moe, you were among the last of a dying breed 다운로드. We will meet again soon. Clinton, I know you are finally at peace as well. ***

Fight of the week is an important NABF light heavyweight match between Jean Pascal and Lucien Bute, held in Canada and telecast on HBO on Jan. 18.

Bute, 34, 31-1, (24)  is three years older than Pascal and a southpaw. His opponent list is impressive, although many of his wins have come against older fighters, perhaps a bit past their prime. And while Bute has a big height advantage, both fighters have the same reach, so that evens things up a bit.

Pascal, 28-2-1, (17) has lost to Carl Froch (as has Bute in the U.K.) and Bernard Hopkins. He shows a solid chin. The question is, will he cut against a southpaw, or will Bute be the victim of a clash of heads?

In any event, that’s how I see this fight decided, by a TKO via a head butt. It happens more often than you may think when a southpaw fights an orthodox fighter.

The fight being in Canada gives Bute the edge if it goes to a decision, but I see it being stopped on a head butt, early or late, and we know Bute does cut at times 다운로드.

Pascal is younger and fresher, and fought tougher foes. He seems to be the bigger puncher. If he doesn’t win by a TKO, he probably wins be a knockout midway.***

I’m still reaching out for help for my final tome, so if you have any stories of inspiration, or of any miracles to help with my last book, speed them to me post-haste.
