Sugar Shane in 9

In front of a sold out record crowd, Sugar Shane Mosley became the new WBA Welterweight Champion with an upset over Antonio Margarito with a round nine knockout. The fierce and competitive Margarito that bloodied a Miguel Cotto last July was no where in sight tonight. Sugar Shane Mosley came into the fight as a 4-1 underdog and dominated every round with precision, power, and unstoppable speed that took the fight out of the Champion. Sugar Shane pulled off a major upset not looking like an Old Mosley but a Sugar Shane Mosley of Old.

STREET JUSTICE


Chuck Zito has provided a look into many different aspects of lifes characters, from the boxing ring inside Hollywood, and a first hand count of life with the Hell's Angels. Chuck Zitos book was such an interesting read about an interesting life. The 285 page Autobiography was a quick and easy read that keeps the reader turning the pages of stories of real life in the Hell's Angels and real life inside prison for a crime he did not commit. Zito has always had a dominating presence with looks to kill and the ability to back it up. A self made man who had lived a life and experienced things that some can only dream of. Street Justice is a great read that is full of action and keeps you interested from the first page to the back cover.
