Hey people I just got a call to the studio from El Capillo AKA Joel Casamayor.

He came into the studio earlier today and asked about me giving him a job on my show...so I decided that I will accept his request and have made a monthly slot on my show for him.

He will be my 'New Talent' scout.

For this month he has highlighted 5 new fighters that have bags of quality and ability, here they are:

5.okami very good fighter stays on the jab uses all the tools im sure he is a b level fighter in a new suit even still he is a prospect and i feel he will go far. he is the type who rarely get hit and still hits back when hurt

4.emmj204 now this man is really special he prefers to box his man...and not just use the jab he uses his inside work very well good defence and a nice addition to the OB ranks. good defence in his last fights he was hurt BUT blocked and dodged almost everything coming towards him. knows his basics

3.reaper now he was a simple puncher/slugger and was easily hit and koed.....then he did a whole u-turn and went defencive like completyl defencive and played possum for the whole fight. after many critics and a few fights getting outboxed he went aggresive again and with that impervious defence he is a poor mans fatny i actually believe that he could be a champion in little amount of time sadly he can be beaten by simple punches....but when he learns these flaws then he will be a dangerous man

2.michael watson now this is a very good boxer but is a true force already with wins over yacoob,reaper,okami,showtime3000 he is a decent counter puncher and can switch his style up when he needs to. inside he can unlease loads of punches without getting hit and on the oputside he has this torpeado right hand and knows all the tools already.if there was a tip i would say defence he gets caught too many times by the little taps.

1.lennox lewis i dont know who this guy is but he seems a strong guy . hard to beat left hook and right hands he is cetainly top 30 material already he has fought....beat destroyed good fighters former champions and contenders.he already boxes the man not looking for the ko but has the abilty to do so. very much like his namesake he will unify the division after a few setbacks and unlucky losses. he WILL win a title
MARK MY WORDS!!!

well thanx paul this is the first of my prospect & contenders lists.

i also want to say good luck to all those in the list as they will be the next generation.

thank you Paul back to you

Cool HTF said i could dominate in years 2 come i will get serious hone my skillz stay out of the Media's eye =D (Dion) lol jk but i will start training more i think i have the talent to go far Dion Shall u interview me?

yea il interview u at start of next week

iight. ill be ready! =D

Dion: Hello folks we have Rocky Marciano in the studio today...Ok Rocky, good to have you with us....tell me...how has your week been?

Rocky Marciano: Hey what is up my P4P gym mate? My weeks has been good, at least so far. Between knocking some people out and fooling Yacoob I took some time off and enjoyed the summer. You know the beach and spending time with my girl friend and so on. What's with that look on your face Dion? You know what a girl is? Heh heh relax I am just teasing you.

Dion: Ha..haha..um funny guy!!! Im good man, so tell me...how long have you been in OB for?

Rocky Marciano: Well this may come as a shock but I really am a relatively new face here. Hey what's that look on your face?! Look it REALLY is the truth. I have been boxing here for approximately about 6 months. What I mean that the very first time I logged on was about six months ago. I did few matches here and some there but have become really actively only recently... a bit before boxing gym called P4P was founded. Have I told you about that boxing gym? NO!? Let me tell you something... it is the best gym ever!

Dion: I should know about P4P because I'm a fundamental part of it's setup...so where do you rank yourself among todays fighters?

Rocky Marciano: Look Dion what's the problem with you asking such a thing? I mean do you want me to get in trouble? Rank this rank that... there are lot of fragile ego's that get hurt whenever a question like this is answered. I don't rank myself. What I do is box and ask people like Larry, who know what's going on, how they would place me. It is really simple and let me repeat mysel... I DON'T rank myself.

Although I was not here I got the impression that Onlineboxing used to be more like private club. Now that Mikkel opened it up by making it free the talent pool has become bigger and with bigger talent pool you get thougher competition. Ofcource there are guys who have boxed for years and have had years time to perfect their timing but that just makes it more interesting.

Dion: Personally I rank you between 10-15 in OB. Ever think you will be regarded as the best ever, better than larry holmes?

Rocky Marciano: Thanks for your kind word. Some of the very best told me that I am in top 10. Make no mistake. Let me repeat: m-a-k-e n-o m-i-s-t-a-k-e. I have KOed every single boxer here worth talking about but Fatny and I am not talking about any fluke wins either. Some people don't even know it was me who Koed them because I dyed my hair, hit the gym, got fake tan and introduced myself as whatever fake name I was using at the time to disguise myself. Now you may ask yourself what does all this mean?

Well it means that the potential is there. I just have to find a way to tap into it. Other than that it means NOTHING. Yeah you heard me right. Other than that it means NOTHING. I have koed and been koed but what is most important I have had fun and keep having fun boxing here. It is good to be able to hold my own.

Will I be regarded as the best ever in time? Better than Larry Holmes? Man you got some really strange guestions. Did you drink beer instead of milk at breakfast? I could be like Yacoob and claim that I already am the best ever but everyone and their pet hamsters know that such a claim would be ridiculous. Well to answer you and to be honest it is impossible to say. You have such great boxers here such as Fatny, HTF and Larry Holmes. Then there are people like sugarray who dominated in his time and Tyrant who trained some of the very best there are. Now I don't like to be compared to Larry etc. because at the moment there is nothing to compare. Larry has achieved so much and is such icon here that such a comparison does not make sense.

but still...

In the end it is impossible to say because I believe that anything can happen. If you try hard enough, train enough and give you all then only sky is the limit. I am here to win the championship so come back with that same question after I have conquered every single title and then we can talk about this more.

Dion: Wow you sure got alot to say Rocky...Tell me...what do you wana say to all the haters out there? Such as the fighter who seems to hate on you the most...the..legend himself...Yacoob.

Rocky Marciano: Man haters. For all I care hater can keep drinking that hateraid they are taking. I don't hate anyone. With me it hardly ever gets personal. Yes I do dislike people who duck and so on but then again so do we all. BUT Yacoob... LOL man that guy is crazy. I think that Fatny needs to give him more of that tissue paper... He is a legend in his own mind and that's all there is. I am in P4P, life is good and got some great friends so why would I care about Yacoob. P4P won the war against his gym. It ended up with Yacoob "quitting" again, Bukowski leaving and TBF closing it's doors.

Make no mistake TBF had some good guys like TBF Feroz. I think he is still around.

Dion: Thanks for being on the show Rocky, ok fight fans hope you enjoyed this insight into the mind of the Rocky Marciano, goodnight!

Dion: Hello fight fans, we have yeman on the phoneline now...good to have you with us yeman...me and you go way back...when I first started out on OB you was there whoopin my ass coz you joined just before me and had that little more experience...so have you been whoopin ass recently?

yeman: Hi Dion nice to be hear in this fantastic studio with one of my old freinds. I got to say i enjoyed wooopin your ass and if u ever get bored of winning just fight me and ill always woop your ass again hehe in a freindly way. Well i had a little holiday for a week witch i got to say was great ive only had something like 5 fights since i have been back and yes i wooped all there asses i will be more active now im off my great holiday so u will see plenty of ye man in the ring.

Dion: Hey now...we fought many times a few weeks ago and I recall whoopin your ass many times...in a friendly way

... Ok I have had mail from many fight fans around the PLANET asking one thing about you...so I gotta ask you...which fighter or fighters have inspired you on OB...Larry?...Fatny? C'mon we are all wanting to know who you look up to!

yeman: Well one of my idols is Nigel Benn he is a top fighter and always will be in my eyes and anouther is HTF he is a top fighter he always been hear since ive joined OB pluss i have had a few wins against these men maby lucky maby not ill let my fans deside that.

Dion: Where do you rank yourself among todays fighters?

yeman: I got to be honist i rank myself in the top 20 but i can say i will be climimg higher the more expariance i have.

Dion: Personally I rank you between 15-20 along with me in OB. Do you ever think you will be regarded as the best ever, better than Fatny?

yeman: Yes i do i will be THE GRATEST OB FIGHTER EVER KNOWN

Dion: Haha nice confidence!!! What do you wana say to all of your fans listening today?

yeman: I would like to thank them of all there support. I would also like to say to the top fighters at the moment ie. fatny, larry, etc to be aware of ye man coz i am a dark horse in the TITLE race. Thanks for your time Dion peace out PPL.

Dion: Thanks for taking time out to talk yeman, ok fight fans hope you enjoyed listening and I will be back with another interview from Ray Johnson next and then special guest Suggaray very soon! But I gotta run now so they will be in my next episode. Peace.

This stuff is quality to read

keep it up!

Dion:Ok guys we have Ray Johnson in the studio today...Ok Ray, good to have you with us....tell the viewers what it would mean to you if you became the undisputed champ!

Ray Johnson: If I became undisputed champ? That would be awesome, but then there would be no reason to play if i'm that good. Unless there are top contenders, i would have to make a retirement.

Dion: So tell me...how long have you been in OB for?

Ray Johnson: 7 Months and 9 days.

Dion: Where do you position yourself in the ranking of todays fighters?

Ray Johnson: I'd say top 30, but there are so many people that keep creating new names. You don't know who is who and the ranking system could do with an upgrade. Still, if you disclude these double names and used judgement, i'd be top 30.

Dion: I rank you between 10-15 in OB but in a few months time I think you will evolve into an even smarter and dangerous fighter and become top 10 material...I find that experience counts for alot in boxing!

Ray Johnson: I have gotten much better much quickly, but taking a few days out drops me a class. I feel that if there were no server problems and no ping problems, i could be top 10 by now.

Dion: What do you wana say to all the haters out there? Tell them what you think of them!

Ray Johnson: Haters? Everyone one hates me in OB. It's cool.. Every second you spend angry, you lose in the ring. Rock on.

Dion: Thanks for being on the show Ray and I'll see you in the P4P Gym this week! Ok viewers thats all I got for you today! But tune in next time as I have an interview with Suggaray lined up! Peace.

Dion: Ok guys we have the legend himself... sugarray is in the studio today...sugarray its a pleasure to have you with us....tell the fans watching how you keep in great shape and how you manage to maintain the high quality in your boxing matches!

sugarray: Hi there Paul. I try to stay as active as possible and I think that is the key. I think we all know how easy it is to lose a step and by that I mean struggling to judge distance correctly, mistiming punches and/or failing to anticipate what's coming at you. I call it feeling flat and it is almost always down to inactivity. OB is not something that you can pick up and put down as and when you feel like it. It is a discipline and as such requires a lot of dedication.

Dion: So tell me...how long have you been in OB for? it seems FOREVER!

sugarray: You're guess is as good as mine, LOL. I've been around for quite a few years. I think only Larry and Sal have been around for longer. I took an 18 month hiatus a while ago, and last year was forced into a couple of semi-retirements due to lag problems. All in all I guess I've been fighting for around three years. It's been emotional.

Dion: Where do you position yourself in the ranking of todays fighters...and maybe in the ALL TIME RANKINGS?

sugarray: I don't really think it's for me to say. I think to be successful in OB, however, you have to believe that you can beat anybody. Belief is very important. Fatny is the king of the castle at the moment and seems to have everyone's number, including mine. But if I didn't believe that one day I could find a way to topple him, I'd probably call it quits right now. No one is insurmountable, everyone has at least one weakness that can be expoited. It is just a question of finding it and then executing the necessary gameplan. Adapting to different styles ot tactics has probably been my greatest strength over the years. I rarely lose back-to-back fights to anyone not named Larry or Fatny.

Dion: Personally, I think your way up there...between 5-10 in OB! I think you reached your peak last year and now you are just fighting because you love the sport..am I right when I say this? ...forgive me if im wrong

sugarray: Depends what mood I'm on, LOL. Inconsistency has plagued my career, as my record will show you. Focussed and sharp, I think I have the ability to beat anybody (excluding Fatny of course). However, I do tend to fight down to the level of my competition and have lost countless fights that I shouldn't have. Once my concentration wanders I become very beatable. Also the standerd is very high these days. You've got guys like Boxa, Black Bear and Tigeruppercut who can put you on you're behind if you're not toally focussed on the job at hand. I think I'm just about keeping my nose in front of those guys, but it is definately getting harder. I'd probably place myself with Nigel Benn, The 1 Dope Mexican and Squeezed Head. Larry and Fatny are head and shoulders above the rest of us.

To answer the second part of your question, my peak came before my 18 month retirement, when I unified all the titles and became OB's firsr ever Superchamp. I've never quite been able to reach that level of sharpness again.

Dion: I hope to see you come back to that amazing form and challenge the two 'untouchables' Fatny and Larry! Anyways...what do you want to say to all the millions of sugarray fans worldwide? ...what message would you like to give them?

sugarray: Just believe in yourselves and remember that no one is unbeatable.

Dion: Nice words, very nice words! Thanks for taking time out and being on the show sugarray Ok viewers thats all I got for you today! Thanks for watching! Peace.

lmao that was an ace intervew with me n u dion haha ace keep it up
