The No Mas Week in Review
12/31
It was on in Lyon
We take it back to New Year's Eve, 1990, when Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov finished off the last of their epic World Championship smackdown-rumbles. Chess innit? Shit is fierce.
THIS is Rafael's Fight of the Year?
Large takes issue with ESPN's Dan Rafael and his FOY selection. "Evidently Brother Dan and I have a very different idea of what constitutes a good fight. He seems to think it involves two borderline retards in pillow-sized gloves throwing off-balance haymakers at each other and connecting once every six tries with punches that have no pop on them because their authors aren't punching so much as just standing there flatfooted and waving their arms around."
1/2
From the Bear to Broadway
The 42nd anniversary of the Jets' signing a brash young quarterback out of Alabama.
K.O.W. - Pearl Harbor for The American Boy
The No Mas Knockout of the Week features the runner-up for the 2006 No Mas Fight of the Year, Jose Hernandez's eighth-round KO of Jason Litzau.
There are no words
Large reaches deep to eulogize James Brown. "I've listened to JB countless times myself while hitting the bag or getting my shadowbox on, working up that good sweat, feeling my own feeble funk while I bobbed and weaved and jabbed on the one. Shit is so good, so nice, it's hard to believe James didn't have the boxing gym in mind when he put half that shit together."
1/3
Covering Himself in Glory
A.I. you punk you're up to your old shit in Denver already and yo son we don't miss you at all. And oh yeah, them powder blues make you look soft already. "... I woke up this morning and saw that the lowly Sixers won last night in Denver, and that A.I. got ejected, and that he cried like a bitch to the press before and after the game about everything that crossed his mind. When I read all of that, for the very first time since the trade went down, I thought to myself good riddance.
King Kong and Godzilla
January 3rd - quite an anniversary day in Yankeeland, a day in history that brought the Bronx both Big Stein and The Sultan of Swat.
1/4
Pistol Pete must've been all hungover
On January 4th, 1975, the Jazz managed only 20 points in the first half of a game against the Sonics, a record that stood for almost a quarter of a century until the Clippers got around to seizing yet another benchmark of basketball suckosity.
D Large
What would your boxing nickname be? What song would you walk into the ring to? What would your robe look like? "I also have this fantasy where one of my celebrity friends (I'm like the unified champ at 154, see, so I have a TON of celebrity friends), maybe Raekwon, has put together a rap specially for my entrance called "Larger than Large." And when I get to the ring, I open up my robe and I'm wearing a huge belt that reads "D Large" and yo yo, the D is for Diamonds."
1/5
Black Friday
What better way to end a week than to look at a bunch of pictures of people who died tragically on this day in history and get all sad about it? Kick 2007 off right people and get your dead on with your friends at No Mas.

Fuck all that, are you seein' this fight?! Toney and Peter are putting on a show that makes Dan Rafael's fight of '06 look like a slap-fest. I could not be more surprised by the action in the fight thus far (six rounds deep as I speak). Every power punch has been answered in kind. I don't think I've ever been nearly this entertained by a Toney fight. Watching him hit the canvas for the first time as a heavyweight was almost as great as watching Dallas lose earlier tonight.
