oxing. I enjoy his observations and have learned from him. "Class Act" Award
goes to Kent. Kent has been the target of silly and unfair attacks, on and off,
since I found this site, which was probably a good five years ago. Rather then
get petty (as I admit, I have done) and retaliate, Kent almost always takes the
high road. Kudos to Kent for his self control at the keyboard---which also
shows in his weight loss efforts! |

Angelo, every once in a while on the Eastside boxing site, I will get some
knucklehead E mailing me about one of my articles calling me this or that but I
just tell them, "thanks for reading." What else can I say? It isn't worth the
effort.I must admit though, no site has had people putting me in their
sites (as in using me as a target for their comments) as much has here but this
place, for the most part, is the only message board I visit.Hey, name
calling usually is just a way of not making logical arguments.Anyway,
Angelo, as I have stated before, you and I have disagreed at times but we have
never insulted each other in all of the time we have posted here. I appreciate
this.|

Ironic and Parodoxical Awarding: to self appointed Master of Ceremonies Angelo,
for lauding the wit and wisdom of the late Noam, (who regularly and viciously
tormented Kent) then recognizing Kent's class in absorbing the abuse in a
dignified manner. What a team they made!|
|1/23/06 04:31:32 PM|Angelo|Washington, DCf||funktron@yahoo.com||||10|There is a
sad irony to that, isn't there? But if you go through the real history of the
site's posts, you'll find much more vicious attacks on Kent than those dished
out by Noam or Howard C. As I said, Noam is the "Master" of sarcasm, and Kent
was probably fodder for some of it, but some of the past stuff was far worse.
Kent grinned and bore it without missing a beat. In fact, Kent handles the
hostility of people here very well, even if it isn't directed at him---if it's
just some lunatic spouting off about the site or the career of JQ or whatever---
most of us will give into the temptation to be as juvenile as the posters, while
Kent acts a little more dignified and measured in his responses. |
|1/23/06 06:04:27 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|Well, I'll be ...... I go on vacation
the world over and I stop in for a brief look and I'm still being called names
and ridiculed. Someone even thinks me and Howard C. are the same guys. Add in
the Holy Spirit and you've got three guys in one, just like you-know-
who.Least you know I can take a punch, what with all the name calling
about me. Hey, guys, I never swore and when I did the wrong thing, I ALWAYS
apologized. Some of you guys should try it some time soon.And I only
ever posted under the one name, unlike many. Chill out. Now picture
this: Round 8. I'm leaning back on the ropes, motioning with my glove for you to
resume the attack. I'm smiling and there's not a mark on my face and I'm saying,
"Come on, chump, gimme your best shot. I'm still the prettiest." Alas. You've
thrown your best, and run out of ammunition. Baaaad news. And I haven't spent a
dime. Yet. Like a spider to the fly.......Anyway, I gotta resume my
vacation. Regards to Kent, Angelo, Massimo and Steve who are all good guys, even
though I've said the wrong thing by Kent. I'll look in from time to time to see
whether any of the haymarkers (from the cowards who were hiding until I went on
vacation) have found their mark (warm chortles). Cheers, big ears.|
|1/23/06 06:25:02 PM|Noam|same||same||||10|Before I go... Steve, you mentioned
Philly fighters and the Blue Horizon and lots of names. You didn't mention Benny
Briscoe. Wasn't he a Philly fighter ? Hey, he fought Carlos Monzon, perhaps the
best middleweight of all time. Briscoe was awesome. In fact, I'm gonna get a
photograph of him and put it on my wall next to Ali (x 4 - v Liston, v Frazier,
v Foreman, and Ali posing), Johnson, Louis, Marciano, Sea Biscuit, Luca Brasi,
and Prince Harry. Briscoe was seriously tuff and went the full 15 rounds against
Monzon. Oops, must go. |
