In Rusty’s Corner

Sometimes I wonder how I could analyze a fight closely and miss by a mile. It happens, but of late it’s happening to me more often than I’d like.

Two big fights on HBO this weekend and they both figure to be very exciting. The fights are from Corpus Christi, Texas and figure to add up to an exciting Saturday, (Nov. 9) night of television.

The main event for the WBO jr. middleweight title figures to be a barn burner, when Roman “Rocky” Martinez 27-1-2 (16) takes on Mikey Garcia 32-0 (27).

This figures to be a classic match-up between boxer Martinez and boxer-puncher Garcia.

Martinez, 30, is taller but it’s Garcia, 25, who has a slight reach advantage 스토브리그 8회 다운로드.

If Martinez uses his height to his advantage, and can find a way to keep Garcia off him, he can win the fight.

But I just don’t see it happening. Garcia is younger and seemingly more powerful. He has one punch knockout potential and if he gets inside, as I think he will, he will win this fight via the kayo route.

The semi-main has the potential to be a main event in its own right. Former Champs Nonito Donaire and Vic Darchinyan clash in a ten-rounder.

Donaire, 30 years old, boasts a record of 31-2 (20), and is seven years younger than his southpaw foe.

Darchinyan, who seems to have slowed down of late, can still bang, as his 28 knockouts attests to.

Both fighters are 5’5 ½, with the Donaire having a big reach advantage.

This is not as easy a fight to pick as it may appear, but I’ll play the chalk and go with the younger Donaire to add to his impressive super bantamweight record.***

I’m still reaching out for help for my final tome, so if you have any stories of inspiration or miracles to help with my last book, speed them to me post-haste ubuntu 16.04 lts.

All help on your half will be much appreciated.

Most, if not all of us will or have seen cancer ravage some of our loved ones in our/their lifetime. The time has come to add your name to the fight against cancer. Don’t let this chance to help others and feel good about yourself, pass you by!

As for the book, 100% of the proceeds will be used in the ongoing fight against cancer, so please get the stories to me as soon as you can. It seems we’re quickly closing in on finding a cure for this dread disease, and I, like most of you, would love to see it in my lifetime.

I’m always on the lookout for new stories of miracles, faith, and inspiration, not necessarily boxing or religion related. One of my goals is to help inspire those who are in need and ready to give up, and to lend emotional support to this long fought effort, that God willing, will once and for all wipe out this dreaded disease.

For more information on how you can help, please read the bottom of this article.***
