The Week in No Mas

12/3
Cotto, yo
A recap of all the big Dec. 2nd fights - Cotto v. Quintana, Margarito v. Clottey, Wright v. Quartey and Lacy v. Tsypko


12/4
K.O.W. - El Flaco Explosivo
"For this edition of the No Mas Knockout of the Week, we showcase two hardcore No Mas heroes, Alexis Arguello and Boom Boom Mancini, in their lightweight title fight from 1980, one of the most memorable fights of my lifetime."


12/5
The Big Ump in the Sky
The 55th anniversary of Shoeless Joe Jackson's death. "His last words are reputed to have been, "I'm about to face the greatest umpire of all and He knows I am innocent."


12/6
Ali Crap
A Large rant on the new Ali Rap product line that got us quite a bit of lovin and, here and there, some hatin. "Ali invented rap. What the FUCK does that actually MEAN? Who on earth would ever give credence, let alone devote a coffee-table book, to such a flimsy idea? Bobby Seale was a defiant black man who spoke rhythmically in euphonious prose – why didn’t he “invent” rap?"

Blood in the Water
The 50th anniversary of the most meaningful water polo game ever played, the Hungary/Soviet Union bloodbath at the Melbourne Olympics.


12/7
Birthday Heaven
A crazy day of birthdays, including Willa Cather, El Feroz, and Ravishing Rick Rood.

Dos Mas
Roberto Duran and Pernell Whitaker on their way to the International Boxing Hall of Fame. We bring you some footage of Duran/Davey Moore and Pernell/Azumah Nelson. "Watch this clip, No Masians, and then answer me this - Whitaker in 1990 against Floyd right now, at, say, 140... who you taking?"

No Mas Holiday Collection
Hey, look, we want some of that holiday money, too. And in that we presume you will NOT be buying that Ali Crap book, perhaps we could interest you in some of this shit here...


12/8
Fight of a Lifetime
A No Mas breakdown of the Taylor/Ouma fight tomorrow night and a link to a brilliant Bernard Fernandez piece on maxboxing about the tragedy of Ouma's Ugandan past.
