K.O.W. - King Arthur
You know who's a tough son of a bitch? Arthur Abraham, that's who. This Armenian-born, German-bred tank is the current IBF champ at 160, and is one of two people to beat Edison Miranda, the other of course being Kelly Pavlik, who fights for Jermain Taylor's belts this September. Now granted, Abraham got his jaw broken in two places while defeating La Pantera, while Pavlik just busted out his pimp cane on the motherfucker. But still, it seems about time that King Arthur get thrown into the mix in all the talk of superfights at 160. His team has hinted that he's ready for a big debut in the States. I wonder if the winner of Pavlik/Taylor would deign to face him. Then again, you have to wonder if the winner of Pavlik/Taylor is going to be able to stand up for a few months after they face each other.
Anyway, I thought I'd stoke the Abraham fires by featuring him as our Knockout of the Week - I was actually going to do that last week with his knockout of Sebastien Demers but I'm glad I didn't, because this one is much better. Abraham won the fifth defense of his IBF title in stunning fashion this past Saturday, with a neck-wrecka of a knockout over fellow Armenian Khoren Gevor. This is one of those picture-perfect KO's, a short, precise uppercut, a bobblehead doll, and goodnight Irene. Look at the way Gevor just hangs there lifeless on his knees for a few seconds before collapsing backwards to the canvas - it's ridiculous. Thanks Chief for directing me to the video (man they get these shits up on Youtube quick). While you're checking this out people, let's all fantasize about a Pavlik/Abraham unification bout sometime next February.

It's about time for Abraham to come stateside. Although I still don't see what he's done to deserve a shot at the winner of Taylor/Pavlik. I'd still like to see him in the ring with Vernon Forrest.
Apparently David Tua is still alive and hurting people.

Large, a while back I wrote on here about Russell Crowe and the South Sydney football club, Armani suits and the like. Anyway, wouldn't you know it, Russell has had a 6 part documentary made about his control over the club. It's pretty amazing stuff, confirms once and for all how much of a lunatic he is. If I can get a copy I'll send one, but you should be able to at least see a clip or 2 through the link.

doesn't look like that link will wrap, here it is broken into a few bits.
ML - I'm going to watch that video now.
UM - what has abraham done to deserve a shot at the Pavlik/Taylor winner? He's got the IBF belt. I know belts ain't shit, but still, it's a unification bout. And yo, I think Taylor and Pavlik would much rather fight Forrest than Abraham.
after a bit of a look around I found the real link..
