RSR Message Board Update

By Mike “Rubber Warrior” Plunkett

I’ve said it many times over the years and to a great extent followed the sport as such; boxing is the most difficult of all competitive sports as it is tragedy. “Edwin Valero Arrested on Murder Charge” delves into the ongoing downward spiral of one of the most compelling figures in the sport today. What began as “Valero Screws-up Royally” some weeks back, that initial thread by OKMike directed our attention and begged the speculation on the possible causes behind the dark compulsions and demons that had forced an otherwise set and undefeated marquee name down such a grim path. The latest installment, as brought to you by yours truly, was sadly and almost eerily predictable. “Kelly Pavlik – What Now” reviews the recent bloody defeat of a man not long ago perched atop the boxing world; the curious reasons behind an undeniable loss of career momentum, the ongoing rumors of personal strife and a now-doubtful ring future.

Not unlike the recent middleweight title contest that saw a changing of the guard, the RSR April 2010 Prediction League has had its fair share of shifting momentum and changing of the guard. Having enjoyed a sudden second wind, OKMike has managed to displace AnthonySullivan as the heir apparent, having thoroughly distanced himself from the runner-up position in spectacular fashion. The next round of activity may prove pivotal with the Fight of the Month being the next chapter in the ongoing super middleweight Super Six Tournament. Stay tuned. For those of you that are not currently a member of RSR and would like to take part in the various forums and fight polls, or put your powers of pugilistic prognostication to the test in the soon to be posted May 2010 Prediction League, act now using the link to submit your request.
