News and Links for February 6, 2009…
Joe Calzaghe retired undefeated as champion at 46-0. While Calzaghe never got the credit he deserved in the United States, he will go down as the greatest super-middleweight of all-time, and his accomplishments will stand up over time.
Michael Phelps was suspended for three months from competition – Ooohh. That should really cost him, now that he’ll miss the 2012 Summer Olympics. Oh, that’s right — those aren’t contested in the Spring of 2009. In other news, Kellogg told him that he smoked away his contract with them.
Vic Darchinyan and Jorge Arce will finally step in the ring together this weekend. The long anticipated matchup should provide some fireworks, but in the end, look for Darchinyan to be the only one standing.
Matt Cassel got himself a franchise tag, which will A) make him rich, and B) return him to his rightful spot holding a clipboard. Not that he’s not good enough to play for several teams, there’s just something funny about a guy who’s only been the starter for one year since high school making this much money to once again not play.
All of the Barry Bonds positive urine test evidence may not make it to court, as the judge said she may toss the evidence out. Apparently if you can’t link the urine to the person, you can’t convict him.
