	Does anyone know how I can get involved with the '96 Summer Games in 
Atlanta?  I'm currently a Master's student (in public policy) at the Kennedy 
School of Government at Harvard.  I'm looking for someone who knows the lay 
of the land in Atlanta, and can give me some tips on how to attempt a job 
search attempt.

	I'm specifically interested in next summer.  If that works out, 
I hope that long term possibilities (after I graduate in May of '94) might 
follow.

	Any ideas?

Hi,


Where does one look to buy 100 / 200 meter sprint shoes, one with
spikes ? I tried local sports shops like Hermans and Sports Authority
with no luck. Are there speciality shops or do the high schools / 
universities have a direct deals with manufacturers, whoever they are.


Thanks for your responses

is $49.00 for flat items and $69.00 for clothes and gloves. For $69.00 they
also throw in a pair of boxing gloves.

I am getting a robe signed for a netter and since I'll be there, I thought I
would see if anyone else is interested in getting an autograph. If so, let me
know ASAP. It will cost $49.00/$69.00 for the autograph + postage for the item
to be sent back. 

Tickets are being sold fast so let me know ASAP!

Only if managed by Don King. Rock is no Don King. He has no pull. He has no
weight. He's like a boy scout trying to lead troops into Desert Storm. He is a
joke. A joke with a good heavyweight. Look what Rock is trying to do. He's
attempting to stage a fight during HALFTIME of the Superbowl! What a geek. Not
only will no one watch it because halftime is time for food and beer runs, but
it would be a terrible match up like against Witherspoon.

After all of his crapping around, Rock now has a chance to stage a blockbuster
extravaganza against DOKES????? or Alex Garcia????? Geez. What a smash.
(Although I think Garcia has some good talent, but he needs more time.) And if
he become unlucky, then Rock will have a very good ex-champion and no shot at
Lewis.

Hey folks, Lewis deserves a shot. He has waited, he has offered, and Rock has
refused. So for once I agree with stipping Bowe. And by the way the belt Bowe
trew in the trash was auctioned by Holyfield for a charity event. Bowe BOUGHT
the belt for $1700! And anyway, the champ always keeps his belt. Lewis would
have gotten a new one anyway.

Subject: Lewis - Champ or Chump?
Date: 17 Dec 92 10:35:03 GMT
Organization: The Mountains of Madness
X-Newsreader: Tin 1.1 PL4

The papers are saying that Lewis is looking to make his first defence
of the WBC title against Alex Stewart rather than the No1 contender,
Tony Tucker. According to the WBC, their rules state that when a
fighter is awarded the title (as opposed to winning it in the ring),
then his first defence must be against the No1 contender.

Lewis and his manager, Mahoney, appear determined to avoid Tucker,
promising him a fight after the Stewart fight. Whilst I can understand
their reasoning, in the light of the wrangle that's been going on
between Bowe and Lewis, it strikes me as being somewhat hypocritical
of Lewis to do the same thing that he's accusing of Bowe of doing.

Despite knocking out Ruddock, Lewis still needs to achieve a measure
of credibility after being awarded the WBC belt without throwing a
punch, a first defence against the official No1 contender would show
the world that Lewis is a man to respect and would also give his case
against Bowe more weight.

Finally, I've waited years for a British heavyweight champion of the
world and always thought that when it happened, I'd be on the ceiling.
Not so. I respect Lewis and believe that he has the ability to become
a great champion, but I wanted him to win it in the ring. I just can't
get excited about it. Bowe, by linear descent, is the true champion,
and no amount of boxing politics can take that away from him. The day
Lewis walks in there and takes the belts away from Bowe (or his
successor) is the day, for me, that Lewis becomes champion. Hey, I'm a
boxing fan, I respect the history and traditions of the sport I love. I
couldn't have it any other way.

Have a great Christmas and New Year where ever you are.

Dave

The trouble with the first is that if he holds 3 belts, there could be
3 different No1 contenders and each organisation could demand he
defend against their No1 first.

The trouble with the second is that the No1 contender(s) is not going
to take a risky fight whilst waiting (up to) a year for his title
chance, so we'd probably have a string of meaningless uncompetitive
fights whilst waiting for the champ to make enough dough.

I think the present situation is the best (whilst there's more than
one organisation). Generally speaking (Don King not withstanding),
common sense seems to prevail i.e. the new champ doesn't have to
defend against the No1 straightaway unless there's been a prior
agreement (even then it's not watertight as we know). We all know
about politics in boxing, how fighters are manouvered into the top ten
to give them a title shot etc. etc. I say that until we get just one
organisation and one world champ at each weight, the best we can hope
for is reasonable compromise.

It's an interesting point that John's raised though and I'd like to
hear other peoples opinions on this.

Hi everyone,
    My final exams are over so I finally have some free time.   
My brother (who is also interested in boxing) suggested that I set
up a mock-betting service.  That sounded like a lot of fun so
I used the fight-schedules from clari.sports.misc and put my own
odds on the bouts.  I've never done this before so I hope I don't
lose a lot of (fake) money.  Anyway, here are the rules and 
conditions: 

1)  The initial odds I post will not change no matter how heavy the
    betting is on one side or the other (Unlike real bookies who
    adjust the odds as the bet come in).  It would probably be too
    difficult and time consuming to continually post current odds.

2)  You can bet up to $1000 on each fight.

3)  e-mail your bets to:    tokuda@wiliki.eng.hawaii.edu

4)  Place your bets in the following format:

       Winner-Loser  $Amount  (i.e.  Norris-Brown $500)

5)  Feel free to comment on the upcomming fights when you
      place your bets.

6)  Bets must placed the day before the fight.

7)  I will keep everyone updated on their current +/- money
      status by e-mailing them after each fight they bet on.
      I will also post everyone's status about once a month.


Here is my first odds posting.  I Hope everyone enjoys it.

NOT! NOT! NOT! NOT! NOT! NOT! NOT! NOT! NOT! NOT! NOT! NOT! NOT! NOT! NOT!

It is amazing and pretty stupid to come back after a neck injury. BUT....
I hope vinnie isnt thinking about fighting anybody good. Santana was made to
order, slow, old, off key, out of boxing for a year, and weak. Santana was his
usual self, yet about 5 times slower. He looked like he was going through the
motions and nothing else.

Who has Paz fought? Greg Haugen 3 times. Won 2 lost 1. Camacho, Lost like a big
dog. Mayweather Lost. Loreto Garza? Lost. Vinnie Burgese (now thats a winner!)
won, and did I mention Greg Haugen?

If you had a chance to hear the USA announcers, you would think Vinnie is on
the verge of entering the hall of fame right alongside of Joey Gamache. It was
pathetic. Paz has fought alot in the spotlight, but the big fights against good
opponents he loses. He won a year ago against someone from another country that
somehow had a part of a championship. He won on USA, at home, but again who did
he fight?

Losses to Mayweather, and Camacho says alot since these two are entering the
twilight zone for fighters, not good enough to get top fights, and too good to
get tough fights. And Paz lost? to these guys?

So what should paz do? I suggest fight someone who has the WBO title. Or fight
someone like Meldrick "If I only lasted 2 seconds more" Taylor. I highly
recommend he stay away from Terry Norris, Julian Jackson, McCallum, and even,
do I dare say, I dare I dare, James Toney or even Reggie Johnson.

Vinnies best bet is to fight some obscure champion, in his home town to get the
ratings up,on USA network, win an easy fight, and retire as the comeback kid of
the century......(who always lost to good fighters) and then enter the hall of
fame alongside Joey Camache, Camacho, Haugen, Mayweather, Garza....

(hum..... wonder why he didn't stay at jr welterweight longer? Whos champion in
that category?)

Hi Dave,
