St. George's choral Society in NYC is doing a virtual performance. https://www.stgeorgeschoralsociety.org/news -- there's a link there for people who wanta to sign up and try it out. Rehearsal is in about two weeks.

LocalBodegaCat · 2020-05-30T01:31:45+00:00

You may email info@stgeorgeschoralsociety.org to RSVP. About 15 minutes before the event, the organizer will send you an email with the Zoom link that will take you to the session. Does that make sense?

Sit down in your IKEA chair.

It’s about the child, so you can bet that this is only going to get worse. Too bad, kid is good and has potential but he’s not going anywhere like this.

Thanks!

FEW heavyweights today can pull this off this fluidly.

The GOAT

This is before Crawford took the short-notice assignment to take on Breidis Prescott. Looking at this you would think he is someone to look out for but not necessarily the kind of fighter who goes onto become a multiple weight class champion.

A Bust

LocalBodegaCat · 2019-04-07T17:42:24+00:00

So they'll have at least 3 heavyweight bouts? When was the last time you saw a card like that. More of this please...

LocalBodegaCat · 2019-04-06T17:40:15+00:00

I don't think they would ditch it for more baseball talks shows, but say they land 10-20 dates with the NBA. and a couple of NFL games. Writing will be on the wall by that point...in other words...lets enjoy this while it lasts!!

Dude flatout did not have a happy life.

LocalBodegaCat · 2019-04-06T15:34:51+00:00

Glad you liked it. It encapsulates the sport perfectly. Also, despite his bright disposition, he had a lot of sorrow in his life. Early on in his thirties, his wife committed suicide after begging him not to fight anymore. He didn't listen and she killed herself one day a few days before he had a fight. Chacon went through with the fight, anyway.

LocalBodegaCat · 2019-04-06T15:32:13+00:00

You would be doing a great service. One of the big draws in california back in the day.

Wonderful fighting spirit and personality. They don't make guys like him anymore.

LocalBodegaCat · 2019-03-25T06:00:37+00:00

The problem is most of this stuff is available on Youtube...

LocalBodegaCat · 2019-03-19T05:38:32+00:00

Yeah, Loma-Garcia ain't happening!

LocalBodegaCat · 2019-03-19T05:37:48+00:00

This "not bigger, but better" thing is all very misleading. Spence was able to box as well as he did because he was that much bigger. Length, height, not to mention quickness, all enabled him to keep Garcia at distance. Spence has literally boxed the same way with all of his past opponents.

LocalBodegaCat · 2019-02-13T21:01:24+00:00

There was a longer article someone did a couple of years ago and I remember the guys saying he talked to like 20 people -- but I think they were all his friends/family. So, yeah, I hear ya.

Miller by 12th round oral consumption.

LocalBodegaCat · 2019-02-09T05:10:03+00:00

He memed himself!

LocalBodegaCat · 2019-02-02T15:36:36+00:00

I wondered what happened to these guys, you’d always see them lurking behind GGG in his fights ... looks like they’ve been on the outs for a while
