YOU SOME INFORMATION THAT I HOPE CAN HELP YOU IN YOUR SEARCH FOR INFORMATION
ABOUT EDDIE MACHEN.Steve, although the guys we see on T.V. in the cage
matches have some skills, there is a circut where lessor skilled fighters battle
it out in "king of the cage" matches where they do fight for very little money
and you are right it does exploit the fighters, big time.What is really
dangerous about these matches is that when a fighter is knocked down his
opponent can attack him while he is on the ground and if the referee is too slow
to intervene or if he is poorly trained, a fighter can be seriously
hurt.I will be surprised if we don't start seeing some deaths in these
types of cage matches and then maybe someone will wake up and regulate this
sport more.I know critics of boxing will say all of these combat sports,
including boxing, need to be banned but at least boxing does attempt to
safeguard the safety, as least to some extent and more needs to be done to make
boxing safer, but boxing is safer than these other physical combat events.|

foul language and bs going on here. i am sorry that you have become separated
from your family. me too, my wife of 29 years divorced me saying she simply did
not love me anymore and it is tough.|

about Robert are painfully clear. On the other hand, you seem to have real
affection for Mike. He was a heck of a boxer and it sounds like he's always
been a great guy. The photos of Mike fighting Bob Foster show a baby
faced kid, while the later photos on this site sadly depict a man who stayed in
a brutal business too long. Would you care to elaborate further on
Mike, his career, and his life after boxing? |

hapenned to Noam and Howard C? Why did they stop posting. They were part of the
"3 amigos." With Angelo being the 3rd amigo. Yesterday was Ali's birthday, he
turned 64. And no one wished him a happy birthday.|

this be Joe Frazier wishing Ali a happy 64th?|
|1/18/06 06:22:33 PM|Kent|Murrieta, Ca||kentallenent@aol.com||||10|No, I don't
know why Howard and Noam have not been posting.I am sure they will
likely be back at some point.|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|Steve(AKA SHEMP) Joe Frazier went out of
the superstars weightlifting at 165 lbs. Bob Seagrin lifted 185lbs to win that
one (1973). Then Smokin Joe nearly drowned. JERRY lifted 210 and went out at
220lb (1974) JQ finished third among the NFLERS and received another invite
(1975) where he lifted 200 easy then went out at 210 easy, O.J. PICKED Jerry to
win, it was Ken Norton who lifted 220 and went out at 230lb. I REMEMBER SHAVERS
RAN A 10.5 1OO yard dash. A ND Jerry received more points in 1973 (28) then any
other boxer ever in the competetion, and according to MR.JIMMY WOULD HAVE WON
THE WHOLE THING IN 1969. PEOPLE FORGET JUST HOW FAST AND ATHLETIC JERRY REALLY
WAS IN THE RING. FORGET THOSE IGNORANT L.A. SPORTSWRITERS.|
|1/19/06 01:11:47 PM|Angelo|Washington, DC||funktron@yahoo.com||||10|I remember
the time when boxers were considered to be great fighters but not great athletes
and people said Jerry was an anomoly. Nowadays, I think boxing training is more
balanced. Evander Holyfield was an all around good athlete and could have
played other sports probably. Lots of the current guys fit that mold.|

"Sarcastic Wit" Award goes to Noam for his ramblings about the "Clapped Out
Jimmy Ellis." I laughed so hard I spilled coffee all over my desk and keyboard,
but it was worth it. The "JQ Information Award" goes to Jimmy Dorsey. Mr.
Dorsey has amazing in-depth knowledge of Jerry's career and solid opinions about
