SubscribeWatch the Salita-Gonzalez fight
The Jewish Channel will present last night’s fight between Dmitriy Salita and Franklin Gonzalez tomorrow night, although I respectfully question the hyperbolic use of the word “historic.” What, exactly, is historic about it? They don’t say and I’m not that educated a fight fan to know without researching it, which I ain’t gonna do.
The piece above also links to this New York Magazine item about Salita and Yuri Foreman (even if it does mistakenly credit the piece to The New York Times.
While not a boxing expert either, I would also venture to guess the fight wasn’t “historic.”
Again, not knowing much, and not wishing to cast aspersions, but I wonder how much “managing” goes on — in general, not just for Salita and/or Foreman — in the selection of opponents.
