Not really sure this is the right place for this, but apparently Frank Maloney has revealed he's going through a 'Gender Reassignment' process (i.e. a sex change...I think). Must admit, I was taken aback when I heard this on the radio...but best of luck to Frank if that's that he/she wants. Must have taken a lot of guts (was going to say 'blocks', but somehow that didn't seem appropriate under the circumstances) to come out and admit it to himself, family and friends and now the great unwashed...hope (s)he finds the happiness in life that (s)he's probably been missing so far.

Back to more mundane matters, did anyone see the Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson fights last night? I caught the very end of the latter and by all accounts it was a poor contest so I didn't bother going back to see it. However, whilst Garcia's opponent was little better that Peterson's, the way Garcia dealt with him was far more spectacular!
It really wouldn't surprise me to see him step up to Welterweight before too long to chase the big bucks, but I'd love to see him unify the Light Welterweight titles before he does, starting with Peterson...really becoming a big fan of the guy!

I hope i'm wrong but I've got a horrible feeling that kell brook is getting overpowered and stopped late by porter you know
I can see where you're coming from - not many people have done to Malignaggi what Porter did. And, in fairness, he looked good against Alexander too. There again, Brook's in his prime and is a big Welterweight (arguably he's looking more like a Light-Middleweight now). Brook's certainly got more of a dig on him than Malignaggi too so it would be a dangerous strategy for Porter to try and walk through him as he did against Paulie.I think this could potentially be a tremendous fight...really looking forward to it!
