Paul Magno’s Daily Grind: Wednesday, July 21st

| Jul 21, 2010 | Comments 3

…”Waiting for the Weekend” Grind…

* The New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) has lifted the 90-day suspension that it originally handed out to Golden Boy Promotions for failure to turn in the boxer/promoter contracts for their May 15th bout involving Victor Ortiz and Nate Campbell.

At a hearing held yesterday, the 3-person committee voted unanimously to lift the suspension as long as “Golden Boy agreed to submit all of the proper paper work and all of the contracts for the May 15 event…And agreed to a $10,000 fine.”

* Bob Arum will be headed to Monterrey, Mexico alongside Manny Pacquiao adviser, Michael Koncz, to scout the potential site for a Pacquiao-Antonio Margarito clash on November 13th. Somebody look at Arum’s itinerary and I bet the trip was scheduled several weeks ago…just saying…

* Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.’s next opponent will likely be Pawel Wolak from Mount Arlington, New Jersey. The bout would likely take place in Mexico on September 11th. So, much for the tough talk in Chavez’s camp about guys like Miguel Cotto.

* Amir Khan: “I’m a Virgin.” This incredible scoop was obtained by the Daily Star, UK….It’s also featured in “Too Much Info” Magazine.

…Grind ya later…

    Do you have anything original or is everything you post STOLEN scoops from other websites? Change the column to the Daily Plagiarism because it doesn’t take much “grind” to spend ten minutes cutting and pasting the material of other websites who work for their content. Any two year old can do this amateurish “daily grind” crap you talentless shit.

    Thanks for reading God You Suck,

    First, nothing is “cut and paste.” I would never cut and paste anything from anyone else’s article. Quotes are quotes and, kinda, have to be taken verbatim…Everything else is my own wording.

    Second, who says that The Grind is about scoops? Everything in this daily column is boxing news, already posted on many different sites. As a matter of fact, most of the info posted in this column is from the Associated Press and local newspapers, which in turn, have their material STOLEN by the boxing websites who, unlike mine, actually have large staffs with huge budgets. I suggest you take your gripes to the big boys.

    I do The Grind so that The Boxing Tribune readers can have a place to look at some of the latest boxing news without going to the other sites and without it taking up too much unnecessary front page space.

    Third, grow some balls…”Any two year old” can make anonymous complaints to a website. Be a man and at least post a name and return address…Or, better yet, start your own site and provide me with a link…That would be hilarious.

    Now, put away Mommy’s computer before she realizes that you’ve been playing with it…

    I have no complaints with a Chavez Jr.-Wolak match-up. It’s a step-up from recent Chavez fights, and will be damn entertaining.
