The people I know on this list I consider friends and I have a good working relationship with them. In fact, I am Scott Farmer's matchmaker for his show tonight at The ABC and I helped Lionell Royer though some tough spots on his show tonight in Harrisonburg. Linda is a very nice person and I don't understand why you would jump all over her like that. She's dedicated and does a great job at her craft. I still work with Jimmy and Johnny Lange, they did not "fire" me as you said.

But first, let me start with this. It's just like in the movie Rocky when the loan shark/mob guy told Rocky that "some guys just hate for no reason" - that's why there are so many haters on this blog. Digital summed it up when he said something like, "everyone has their own opinion, no matter how stupid it may seem!" All hail the 1st Amendment and BATB forever!<BR/><BR/>Jimmy Lange (Mr. Nice Guy)- very nice guy but also very standoffish to the point of appearing rude or being a prima dona. He's not a great fighter but he's better than a lot of people give him credit for. He is a hard working fighter who throws a very under rated right hand. He's got good power in that shot.<BR/><BR/>Scott Farmer (Former Puncher)- means well and has spent most of his life in boxing. Dedicates a lot of time to training fighters. Also promotes shows. He's always on the verge of cracking or going over the edge. He wears his heart on his sleeve and will talk out of both sides of his mouth. You've got to watch him, because he can turn on you at any second. But you have to watch everybody in this sport.<BR/> <BR/>Doo Man Farmer (Fan Favorite)- solid prospect with very good skills. He has the natural athletic gifts of height, reach, speed, movement, and boxing ability to go very far in the game. He's still a very young man.<BR/><BR/>Johnny Lange - this guy is all over the place. He's half scum bag and half saint. At his heart he wants to help his son with his career and he's done a good job of that. He can be the biggest ass in the world or the sweetest guy you ever met. A real Jekyll and Hyde type of guy. He is the real center of all the activity in Virginia right now. Big time "Connections". Promotes the shows at The Patriot Center with the help of "front men" promoters like Jackie Kallen. His shows are the biggest this side of Atlantic City.<BR/><BR/>Han Kim Former (WBF Champ)- A real sweetheart of a guy but, like most people in boxing, tells a few lies to get the job done. He must have some money because he's never drawn a decent house for any of his shows. Harmless enough guy. Bad businessman, terrible organizational skills. Crappy shows.<BR/><BR/>Warren Clatterbuck (The Dude With ARMS)- He's got big arms and a nice build, but boy is he butt ugly! Protected because he sells tickets. Wouldn't you protect him too? Not really a real fighter.<BR/><BR/>Perry Ballard (The one you love to hate)You know why people hate Perry Ballard? Because he's a fake and a fraud, that's why. WBE World Champ, this chump? That just tells you about the WBE but Ballard will gladly proclaim to be a World Champ and that's good enough for him. It's an embarrassment to the great sport of boxing that this guy could find enough hand picked guys to develop the record he's got. He can't fight a lick, not even a little bit. He's so bad that Warren "The Mack" Clatterbuck would knock him out. I would love to see Perry fight a real guy like Charles Norwood, Jesse Nicklow, or George Rivera. Now that would be funny!<BR/><BR/>Terry Roy (A New Comer)- Very limited but very exciting fighter. I've seen him several times and he is entertaining. Promoters need boxers like Terry Roy to round out their shows.<BR/><BR/>Linda (The Photographer)- A real sweetheart. She means well but she puts her foot in her mouth quite often on this blog. She's only protecting the friends she's made in boxing. Relatively new to the scene but very dedicated to what she does. Ease up on her, she's a gem.<BR/><BR/>Lionel Royer (Promoter)- Don't know him very well but have heard several things. Has several former business partners who don't say good things about him. It is well known that he doesn't get along with another local promoter. Not sure why. Active promoter who is riding the MMA wave. A real gentleman now but wasn't that way a short time ago. Found the Lord and turned it all around. <BR/><BR/>Chris Middendorf? Smart guy, professional, organized. Former (and still current?) art dealer and Harvard grad. Some consider him high handed and pompous, he has always been straight with people I know. The guy has more connections in boxing than everyone else on this list put together. Everyone else is local, Middendorf is local AND international. Hell of a matchmaker.<BR/><BR/>Signed,<BR/><BR/>Not who you think I amAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14955621.post-32915690206852450252007-11-15T23:50:00.000-05:002007-11-15T23:50:00.000-05:00Hey BoxBible,Juan Robles is far better than a "clu...Hey BoxBible,<BR/><BR/>Juan Robles is far better than a "club fighter at best". Juan is the real deal, you will see soon enough. He's coming back at the end of this year and 2008 will be a huge year for him. He's got boxing ability, power, stamina, and athleticism. This guy can go all the way and he will crack the rankings of a major organization by early '09.

A knockdown is a knowdown. there are not freak knockdown, flash knockdowns just plain knockdowns. And from where I was siting Andrew was hurt during the 4th round and that was looking in his eyes. Plus only Ali could win a round back pedaling. Think what you want and I will think what I want. In the in end went down as a lost.
