CAYMAN KNOCKOUT: CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, JUNE 20TH, FROM THE CAYMAN ISLANDS...
Truth be known: When it comes to EGOmaniacs in the world of
sports doesn't let anyone belittle the notion that fight
promoters TOP the list. Wednesday's pre-fight Presser
showcasing the June 20th "CAYMAN KNOCKOUT: CHAMPIONSHIP
BOXING" showdown seemed more like a Dan Goossen TALKATHON on
the mic rather than a main event introduction. Yet, we may
can cut him a little slack since he was probably a bit excited
to be boarding a plane immediately after the Presser bound for
the Caymans in order to begin promotions for the fight.
