I got medically discharged

I'm struggling out here y'all. How I get a job with no reference?

You might have to do some temp work JUST to get the work references. I did that back in 2003 just so I had some work history and references, outside of family, to use.

Right....your posts were from that convo, because I'm tired of paying $100 for a quarter of Kush

You were trying to convince me to smoke Reggie....that's why that's what you're talking about in the quotes I posted



I don't give a fukk about the people right now

I'm in the man cave of my 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home in the burbs of Bedford Heights, Ohio (home of Halle Berry, Chris Chambers, and Lee Evans....Go Bearcats) and this is what I'M doing right now:

Unless someone other than EA decides to make one, you will be waiting a LONG time. EA basically threw boxing in the bushes to focus on ufc games. They admitted they cancelled or delayed fight night to solely focus on ufc.

Dan Rafael chat wrap 11/25 (the Thanksgiving Day edition - no chat Friday):

- Thought Pacquiao looked fantastic. Remains very skeptical that Manny fights Floyd next, but of course is hopeful that it could get made. Possible next fights are: vs. Danny Garcia if Haymon signed off, JMM 5, or Vargas. He really doesn't have too many doable fights available.
- Floyd vs. Manny will happen if Floyd decides to make the fight.
- Believes both Manny and Floyd should be blamed for the fight not being made yet. In terms of recent negotiations, Floyd deserves more blame.
- He does not doubt that Bob Arum has met with heads of Showtime to work on making Pacquiao-Mayweather. Showtime and CBS want to make the fight. Still doesn't matter. The fight will be made if Floyd wants it.
- Thought that Pacquiao-Algieri should have been stopped in round 9. Algieri was taking a beating and had no chance to win, by letting it continue only meant more punishment.
- Believes Mayweather will fight after his Showtime contract runs out.
- Lomachenko's team said his hand was not broken. No eta on how long it will need to rest before his next fight... but he previously scheduled to be back around March/April.
- Agrees that Manny followed Algieri a bit recklessly, but believes it probably was due to Manny believing Algieri couldn't hurt him. Probably would be more cautious against a more dangerous opponent.
- Not sure of Kell Brook's WW potential. He has only one real win of note (Porter).
- Worse corner: Tapia or Algieri? Tapia. His corner risked his life vs. Kirkland. Algieri's corner was just dumb.
- Fury vs. Chisora? Fury.
- How would Algieri do vs. Bradley, Broner, Khan, and Thurman? All of them would beat him handily.
- Keep an eye on Ievgen Khytrov. He is a badass Middleweight from Ukraine.
- Algieri's team is appealing to the WBO about his 140 lb title. It is possible he could fight for the vacant title.
- HBO and Arum want to make Lomachenko-Walters. Fight may get pushed back due to Loma's hand. Thinks they each fight one more time before fighting each other, could be on a card together. Lomachenko will absolutely take the fight. Walters will take the fight if he is paid what he thinks he is worth.
- Crawford-Beltran could be a competitive fight. Crawford is a different class of fighter and should win.
- Plans for Quillin vs. Jacobs not being negotiated.
- Algieri's corner strategy was literally the worst and most laughable strategy he has encountered in his 15 years covering boxing.
- Arum told him he felt Cowboys Stadium would be a possible venue for Manny-Floyd. Good luck getting Floyd to leave Vegas.
- The youngest someone can box as a pro in the US is 18. Jose Benavidez was such an exceptional amateur that Nevada gave him a waiver and allowed him to turn pro at 17.
- Believes that Klitschko vs. Jennings happens. Most likely takes place in NY.
- Canelo-Cotto won't be until May at the earliest. Top Rank just got back from China and they are putting on a card this weekend, so they haven't been active in negotiations. Still plenty of time.
- Does Arum still owe Floyd money? He has never heard that.
- Wlad is Tyson's worst nightmare and Wlad would destroy him, because Tyson struggled with tall fighters. Wlad was a tall fighter with great power, an excellent jab, and good defense.
- Marquez's name has been mentioned to fight Kell Brook, but he doesn't think Marquez travels to the UK. Brook will want at least one fight in the UK before he comes back to the US.
- If Manny-Floyd was ever made it would be safe to assume a Tyson-Lewis type promotion. HBO and Showtime would share commentary duties and the winning networks fighter would get replay rights. Each network would have their ring announcer announce the fighters. (If he had his choice it would be: Lampley, Bernstein, Paulie, with Lederman doing the scoring).
- Doesn't think Wlad's chin is as bad as its reputation may be. Corrie Sanders was a huge puncher. He hurt Vitali who had an iron chin.
- Prefer to see Wlad vs. Fury, rather than Wlad vs. Chisora (winner of Fury-Chisora is his mandatory).
- Stiverne-Wilder, January 17th at the MGM.
- He talked with Harold Lederman and neither of them could think of a more lopsided score than Pacquiao-Algieri (Dan scored it 120-102 Pacquiao).
- No confirmation on Donaire's next fight, but Arum is looking at it possibly being in Manila.
- Froch has a legitimate chance to make the HOF.
- JCC is still in a contract dispute with Arum. Could Haymon buy him out? Possibly, but it wouldn't be cheap.

^^ dan sees it like I do... It's Floyd if he wants the fade at this point

 

[patscorpio]

I'm still confused on why the wbo stripped algieri of his 140 title...makes no sense

also on the comment Froch being a HOF..to me dude is close bur he needs a elite level type of win to make that concrete..he's faced and beaten all relevant super middles in the last 7 years with the exception of 1..and thats where it hurts him

That does not fit the agenda.

Algeri would even beat maidana though
