    ESB forum raid Sunday night......this week it's the turn of the feminists :crylaugh:

    Sounds promising 8)

    I'd bet my life you'd be the first one banned if you joined in :)

    What can I say? It's a great gift of mine :D

    I reckon your views on rape would go down a treat on those feminist forums....especially that one thread where the bird is talking about going commando in a mini skirt - it's just crying out for a "don't come complaining on here when someone rapes you" comment :D

    That information has greatly encouraged me to join in....

    Anyone else in?

    Was bored so I decided to do that test, I think saying that I occasionally consider how I'd kill myself pushed my score up :lol:

    Tbf, I didn't say I WAS going to, just that I'd thought about how from time to time. I'd make it look like murder for the lulz

    I always wonder if I could physically drown myself. Don't think it's possible though.

    My main process of random thinking is the escape plan I have devised in getting out if a mass murderer/burglars come into the house. It's pretty simple but effective.

    Zip yourself into a sleeping bag with rocks in it & roll into the sea 8)

    Or a cuddle?

    Errr, I'm also sad, can I have one please?

    :winkold:

    is that because even the Samaritans pretend to be out when you call ?

    No, it's because my supermodel girlfriend has gone Ferrari shopping & won't be back to wait on me hand and foot for another 30 minutes. Times are hard :(

    Jerry Glick reporting: Paul “Magic Man” Malignaggi took time away from his serious training to give the media and local fans the opportunity to see his progress as he prepares to meet Amir Khan, 22-1 (16 KOs), for the Brit’s WBA Junior-Welterweight belt.

    Former World Junior-Welterweight Champion Malignaggi, 27-3 (5 KOs), met the media at The Evolution Boxing Gym in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. Why in Bensonhurst? Because that’s where Paulie lives when he’s not in Florida, and he wanted to have his open to the public workout where his neighbors could come and see him as he prepares for his shot at Amir Khan’s belt at Madison Square Garden on May 15th. The show will be promoted by Golden Boy and DiBella Entertainment. Also on the show will be a showdown between former world champ Nate Campbell and Victor Ortiz.

    Malignaggi worked out in the ring shadow boxing to a rap song called “Magic Man” by The Six Seven Mob. He worked the pads with trainer, Sherif Younan, and hit the various punching bags including the heavy bag and the speed bag.

    Malignaggi looked as fit as ever with not an ounce of fat anywhere on his body. He punched fast and appeared to be putting more power behind his jabs and combinations while retaining his speed.

    He remarked that he will wait to see if Khan has the good speed that his trainer Freddy Roach has said he has.

    “When you’re in there with someone who knows what they’re doing, that’s the key. Everyone could be fast with a bunch of bums,” said a sweaty, but not winded challenger as he sat fielding questions after he worked out.

    The trash talk has begun with team Khan promising to stop Malignaggi in three rounds, but the Brooklyn fighter said that he’s heard all that before.

    Malignaggi has been training in a gym that is hidden away in Coney Island. Don’t look for it because there is no sign, and it doesn’t need one because it has no name. Rather than go to a training camp in the mountains, Malignaggi decided that he would situate himself in familiar surroundings while at the same time he has solitude and he can get back to the basic boxing scene; no one there trying to lose weight; no non-boxing people, no distractions.

    “That place has been around for awhile. It’s in the projects. There are no signs, so you really don’t know it’s there unless you know it’s there,” said Malignaggi. “It’s really private, it’s ghetto. You get back to your roots, in a way; kind of like Rocky III, that kind of thing.”

    He is training there because only boxers go there.

    “You don’t get any white collar people showing up to take the ring when you need it, or hitting the speed bag when you need it. Nobody is going to go into that gym unless they’re a fighter. When I’m training I want to stay focused. I’m a people person, but when I’m training I don’t want to be bothered.”

    THE HAND

    “The hand (issues) of the past are a thing of the past,” said the former IBF 140 pound champion. “I feel healthy. I feel strong. I got my strength coach (Mike Camp); I got my head trainer, Sharif in there. I made the right changes.”

    Malignaggi repeated for emphasis, “I made the changes. I had some stupid ass managers, stupid ass trainers, and now finally that’s a thing of the past. I am going to live and die by my own decisions.”

    MALIGNAGGI ON ROACH

    Khan’s trainer Freddy Roach was quoted as saying that Malignaggi won’t last three rounds.

    “I’m worried man,” mocked Paulie. “Look how scared I am. Amir is a little bit naïve about what he’s getting himself into. Freddy Roach knows what he’s getting into. He just likes to talk. He’s a little bit of an egomaniac. He had shitty career as a fighter; as a trainer now he’s trying to get it back.”

    Malignaggi added that when Roach talks the media reacts, according to him. With a success like Pacquiao under his belt boxing folks do tend to look up when Roach speaks.

    “He wants his name in the press,” said Malignaggi. “The guy’s an egomaniac.”

    PUNCHLINES

    SADAM ALI

    Also in attendance was young welterweight prospect Sadam Ali who is undefeated in six fights with three by knockout. He and his dad, Dave, are currently building a new gym in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn called “The World Kid Ali Sports and the Sadam Ali Gym.” There is nothing like thinking ahead and opening a boxing gym is something that most fighters don’t think about until after they retire from the ring. The grand opening will be announced soon.

    EVOLUTION GYM

    The gym where Malignaggi worked out for the media, located on 86th Street in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, was small but functional with rustic looking bare brick walls that give it a feel of an old boxing gym. The owner Anthony Pezzolanti teaches boxing there. He was very pleased to have a neighborhood champion pick his establishment to work out in for the media.

    “It’s an honor having Paulie Malignaggi doing an open work out in our facility,” said Pezzolanti. “He’s really giving back to our community.”

    Having seen the workout, he is indeed hitting a lot harder than usual

    Pac - Margarito would be an amazing fight.

    Why? Because plasterfists would more than likely be humiliated again?

    Pacquiao won't be able to stop Margarito imo.

    They'll both throw over a 1000 punches.

    It'll be awesome.

    People thought Mosley wouldn't stop him but he demolished him, mental state aside after the handwrap thing. His defence is very poor & Pacquiao will throw far too many hard shots which will land flush & wear him down, probably around the 10th or 11th. Then again, Margarito might just walk him down like he did to Cotto which would be rather epic (But I don't see that happening)

    He's already denied saying that. Arum has said it's either Margarito or Cotto (if he beats Foreman) at a 150 catchweight for another trinket belt
    Who wants to see either of those two fights though?

    Pacquiao just needs to stop ducking Mayweather and agree to the damn terms.

    Bob Arum and Freddie Roach want to see them which is why they'll happen

    According to reputable sources (Pacquiao's official website, mpboxing.com) Manny Pacquiao, WBO welterweight champion, is considering accepting the cutoff request for random Olympic style blood test in order to fight Floyd Mayweather Junior.

    A fight between the two superstars was all but done when, at the urging of Mayweather, the two sides could not agree on the test and it's cutoff date.

    Mayweather held out for a 14-day cut-off on the tests, while Pacquiao was not willing to accept the random protocol unless the cutoff was no less than 24-days prior to the fight. Now Pacquiao is willing to meet Mayweather's number..

    "I am willing to help the sport for the future of the sport. I do not want to see anyone cheat or cheat this sport. For that reason I am willing to consider taking blood as close as 14 days prior to the fight, as long as, my opponent does the same, and it is not a lot of blood, just enough to test."

    "I do not want anyone having an unfair advantage where someone may get hurt. I am willing to do my part to help this sport out."

    Pacquiao, in a statement on Philstar.com, "If I hit Mayweather like that (second round against Mosley), I will finish him off."

    I expect that the 14 day cutoff might not be possible now considering that Mosley agreed to the blood test up to the day of the fight. Still, anything is possible in boxing.

    Manny Pacquiao promoter, Bob Arum, is refuting the statements concerning his willingness to take the Olympic style blood test. According to an official statement from Bob Arum, Manny Pacquiao quotes from yesterday were not genuine. Arum contends that Pacquiao is not willing to do any testing within a 24 day window froma fight date. Further, he refuses to bend from the originally agreed upon 50/50 purse split.

    It should be noted that the statements were in fact on Manny Pacquiao's website though they are not there today. Just wanted to let you know.

    I'll believe it when I see it.

    He's already denied saying that. Arum has said it's either Margarito or Cotto (if he beats Foreman) at a 150 catchweight for another trinket belt
