How many wins over Lee Cargle does a man need?

Evidently, quite a few. Wins over Rick Hardle also appear to be a plus (just ask Lee Cargle). (On a third note, exactly how many guys named Rodney Jones are out there?)

In other news: Ron Krull picked up not only a win, but a KO win the other day. That's not something you see every year. Nor is an SD4 loss to a 3-9-1 guy by a comebacking (?) Obed Sullivan.

Grant/Sullivan II, anyone?

Kicking things off with some great news

Jeff "Shogun" Holcomb, who has one of the greatest boxing records ever, is home on leave from Iraq and successfully defended his "NABC All Americas Cruiserweight Title" on January 2nd against Bobby Elkins, in one of the first bouts of 2007. Elkins had lost 13 straight fights, 12 of them by knockout, and his last win came at welterweight in March of 2000 against a guy with a record of 2-15. This was Holcomb's first ring appearance, meanwhile, since he dealt Danny Wofford his 101st career loss back in October of 2005.

This is going to be a great year for boxing.
