[Boxed Ears]

He works his butt off for this chance against an undefeated prospect and he just misses the weight by only a hair over nineteen pounds and now he's got to have a 20% hit to his purse AND fight having drained himself down to the absolute limit.

This guy has the worst luck of any pro fighter I've ever seen. You just see these guys pour their heart and soul into this thing and only to get mistreated like this, with the deck stacked against him and everything in favour of the young buck. Man, Malignaggi is right. BOXING IS BULLSHIT!!!!

The article fails to mention that Blades took the fight at a couple of days notice.

Unsurprisingly, he was stopped in about 90 seconds.

I picture it like this:

Phone call:

"We have a fight in a few days. Can you make 177 like you did six months ago?"
(hesitant face)

"Sure. I'd be happy to help you out. This is a fair fight. You are good people."
(troll face)

"Great! You know, you're very easy to work with. We'll keep your name on file for future opportunities."
(sly, smug face)

"I'll see you at the fight."
(fat, "O" face)

Weigh-in:

"Okay, you're almost there. Just 19.6 pounds away."
(wutchutawkinbowt Willis? face)

"LOL."
(fat troll face)

"Oh. You scallywag. I see what you did there."
(the I-see-your-Schwartz-is-as-big-as-mine face of respect)

Then a fist bump behind closed doors, agreeing to do the fight anyway, because, really, who gives a shit.
