Nasty right hand, Briscoe leaned right into it.

Ali, how's it going brutha? Hope all is well.

And yeah, that must have been a perfect shot, considering the shots Briscoe was able to take during his career.

I am good Scott, just enjoying the rare warm weather and getting ready to prepare a BBQ

Paraphrased: "After a loss, the fighters and the trainers should practice harder. Fighters need to take care of themselves. They don't take care of themselves. After a fight or two they think they are champions and that's not how it is. They need to take care of themselves."

scott rodrigo valdez was outstanding.and yes a near great to great middleweight.if it were not for monzon this guy could of been champ for 6 years or more.a complete fighter that was dangerous in many ways.

The first time I saw Monzon, it was against Valdez. He bought the best out of Carolos Monzon.
