Large returns
Thanks for all of your kind emails. I'm sorry I abandoned you. I will be back starting Monday, September 25th. My return will coincide with the debut of the No Mas online store.
A brief update on the landscape of Large:
-I am predictably Phillies crazy, and yet, like a true Philadelphian, I am fully prepared to have my heart broken.
-I am out in Davis, California at the moment with my ladyfriend, and thus did not see the Eagles/Giants debacle, thank Christ.
-As I write we're getting skunked again in the Ryder Cup. What the fucking fuck? I just can't understand why we suck so much at this. And why is Paul Casey an utterly useless bag of fish and chips except for a weekend every two years when he becomes one of the true golf gods. Ditto Monty and Sergio. Pathetic chokers except for Ryder Cup. Meanwhile Tiger is the exact opposite. Guy's won like every tournament on tour this year and now he can't make a putt to save his soul. I hate this shit.
-I did not see Barrera/Juarez - I was on an airplane. Sounds like it sucked predictably. Barrera learned his lesson. Now he wants Pacquaio, presuming Manny beats Morales. Pacquaio/Barrera rematch is the biggest little guy fight since Oscar/Chavez one.
-How about Winky Wright signing to fight Bazooka Quartey? Yo son, all's I have to say is that Winky is motherfuckin all man. I really wish he'd won that Jermain fight.
-But on that score, I have to tip my hat to Jermain for making a fight with Kassim the Dream Ouma. There are a lot of other bags of potatoes out there besides that Ugandan nightmare. This is a dangerous fight for Jermain, one that he could easily lose. Kassim will be undersized, but he's a tough son of a bitch, and he throws a lot of punches. Jermain better get to him early and knock his ass out before he gets caught in that combine.
-I have to throw in a line here from my motherfuckin man Gentry Kirby. The NFL has jumped the shark. Sums it up nicely.
-In conclusion, if you're looking for some on this day love, today is a very No Masian anniversary - Tunney beats Dempsey on September 22nd, 1927 in their infamous rematch, infamous, of course, for The Long Count. If you don't know what that is, look it up - then again, if you don't know what that is, you probably don't read No Mas. Large out.

Being a Philly fan I got to enjoy that Eagles heart break on the way back from Ocean City over the radio. Sigh. Your call about Ouma being trouble for Taylor isn't gonna happen. He's too much of a soft touch and he was put on the canvas by Marco A. Rubio on the ODLH-Mayorga undercard and from my eyes it looked like he was struggling to win the rest of the match. Rubio's a tough customer, but now Ouma gets to face a tougher customer that has taken 24 rounds of Bernard Hopkins and washed it down with 12 rounds of Winky. Oh, and a hell yeah to the online store. Can't wait to see the new clothing line. All my friends are hooked on your gear.
I disagree about Kassim the Dream being a soft touch. Just take a look at his last fight - Sechew Powell landed a few huge shots on him and he walked through them like it weren't no thing. Granted, Sechew ain't Jermain, but still, he can punch a little bit. I'm telling you - Kassim gets Jermain late, it could be scary - Jermain will be exhausted after that 120 punch a round shit all night.
Maybe I'm overrating Jermain Taylor. Once you see a guy beat Hopkins(I disagree with the first fight outcome but I unfortunately wasn't there to score the fight) twice then draw with Winky you tend to place him amount the top class of current middleweights. I still think that his upcoming fight with Ouma isn't going to amount to much aside from an extra W in Taylor's record. Then again with the way boxing and upsets go hand in hand sometimes you really don't know who will win til the dust is settled.
