Michael Grant was not knocked out by any bum. He was knocked out last year in
the seventh round by highly touted prospect Dominic Guinn, who is 29-1 and was
undefeated when he beat Grant. Guinn recently suffered his first loss to
Monte Barrett. The same fighter who gave Joe Mesi a lot of trouble in dropping
a split decision verdict to Mesi.Grant, who is 36-3 in his career, has
also been knocked out by Lennox Lewis and Jameel McCline.Grant seems to
suffer the same affliction that effects a lot of heavyweights these days. He
doesn't seem to take a punch very well.I think that is why someone like
John Ruiz can win a portion of the heavyweight title as it seems Ruiz is one of
the rare breed these days, in that he can take a good punch as apart from a
first round knockout loss to David Tua a few years ago, he has stood up to some
power punches. |

been knocked out byMichael Grant in 6 rounds. His name is Hatcher. What did
I say ? English is not as easy as most people say. Even if ,of course, Russian
and German are more difficult. My teacher RS has( or is ?) gone away for a
while and maybe I'd need an English lesson...|

that he is a wrestler competing as a boxer. He doesn't get knocked out because
his first move is to try and get you in a headlock. I understood what you meant

attempt to win by disqualfication. After a body punch he will invariably fall to
floor cluthing his groin. If the ref says "no low blow" he magically jumps up as
if nothing happened. I guess he figures, its worth a try. Mark my words, he will
try it again.|

understand what you were trying to say after reading your post a second time.
A lot of people at other sites have been critizing Grant recently and I
thought you were doing the same thing but you weren't.Sometimes it is a
good thing to take some lesser opponents after a tough loss. It is part of the
rebuilding process.|

that HBO show "The Sopranos" where u r?Its my favorite show ever and the
cast members are big fight fans.|
|4/9/04 01:32:16 AM|Massimo|Roma||4 ||||10|Ed-No, I don't. Do you know
Rino Tommasi ? He is the n.1 boxing commentator in Italy. I remember when Bruno
hit Tyson with an hard blow in the first round of their 1989 fight ( a fight
that Mike clearly won ) he shouted TYSON E' SCOSSO !!!! TYSON E' SCOSSO !!!! It
means TYSON IS SHAKEN UP !!!! I didn't realize that Tyson was in trouble. I did
need the replay to understand...|
|4/10/04 12:59:13 AM|Ed|Cicero n y||mooseygoop@aol.com||||10|Mass,Nope i
never heard of that announcer but I remember when Bruno hurt Tyson on first
fight. How do u see fights where u r? HBO or what?|

This is not easy to explain in English, but I will try ! Until a few
months ago the only way I had to get boxing fights was by watching Berlusconi's
Canale 5 and Italia 1. They showvery few fights, essentially only Tyson's
fights. That meant that I could see a fight every three years and usually it
didn't last too much! And never fights from the past ! It was a disaster ! Since
I have bought Sky , the situation is changed ! Now I get tons of fights. For
