Morning Blogdome: Was the Kimbo Fight Supposed to be Fixed?

•Kimbo destroyer Seth Petruzelli adds to the suspicion: "My original plan was to throw out push kicks, they're called teeps, have him think that I'm going to throw them to try to rush in more, and then shoot in on him, obviously... but the promoters kinda hinted to me, and they gave me the money to stand and trade with him. They didn't want me to take him down, let's just put it that way. It was worth my while to try to stand up and punch with him."

Gutting out last season on a shredded ankle, adding a separated shoulder in Green Bay and then a torn knee before the Super Bowl." [ NYGmen] • Linda Cohn can't defy her Rangers (sorry: Rain-jahs): "I'm all for prediction making and throwing in some surprises, but I don't even think you'd find a Ranger fan who's believe they'd defeat the Red Wings in the Stanley Cup."
