Watch Roy Jones Jr vs Omar Sheika Live

Fond of boxing? Here is the latest boxing event called March Madness. I wonder why the event is called that way, so I have decide to post it here on my blog.

Description goes as they fight on March 21, 2009 at the Pensacola Civic Center in Pensacola, Florida.

And about this fighter as I research on the internet Sheika was formerly joined National Amateur Middleweight Championship. Jones was the Ring Magazine pound for pound champion of boxing and was captured IBF championships in the middleweight, super middleweight and light heavyweight divisions. Maybe this was called March Madness. Get Online and Watch Roy Jones Jr vs Omar Sheika Live.

Freestyle Motocross Rider Jeremy Lusk Dies

Jeremy Lusk, an American freestyle motocross rider, died of head injuries Tuesday after crashing while trying to land a backflip in competition. He was 24.

Jorge Ramirez, chief of the intensive care unit at Calderon Hospital where Lusk was taken, said the motocross racer suffered severe brain damage and a possible spinal cord injury.

Lusk won a gold medal at the 2008 X Games. He was injured Saturday night when he failed to complete a full rotation while attempting a Hart Attack backflip and slammed headfirst into the dirt. Lusk crashed in almost identical fashion in the freestyle semifinals at the 2007 X Games but was not hurt.

He had a successful 2008 season, winning Freestyle gold at the X Games and silver in Best Trick when he landed the first double-grab Hart Attack backflip. He won a bronze helmet in Freestyle at the Moto X World Championships in his hometown of San Diego.

Ramirez said Lusk died with his parents and his wife, Lauren, at his side.

“He was in a medicine-induced coma as a protective measure, and the medicine was being reduced to see how his body responded,” he said. “That didn’t mean he was going to wake up. He was in shock and that got worse last night, until he stopped responding and entered into cardiac and respiratory failure.”

Lusk lived in Temecula, Calif.

Micheal Phelps acknowledge Pot Pipe photos

Tabloid Stirs The Pot With Michael Phelps

HEARD THIS ONE?

Phelps' victory lap leaves trail of smoke

At least Michael Phelps wasn't doing anything involving Nazis and hookers. Not much consolation at this point, though.

Sunday, the 14-time Olympic gold medalist acknowledged he was indeed the person pictured in the British tabloid News of the World, apparently smoking marijuana through a bong. He thus becomes another celebrity embarrassed by the rag, a list that includes auto-racing titan Max Mosley (the aforementioned Nazis/hookers scandal), Prince Harry (teenage partying).

"I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment," Phelps said in a statement released to the Associated Press by one of his agents. "I'm 23 years old and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again."

The tabloid says the picture was taken in November at the University of South Carolina, where Phelps had gone to visit a girlfriend. It included lurid descriptions of his partying abilities; not all that surprising from a Rupert Murdoch-owned paper whose Web site includes a boast that it pays the most for juicy stories. According to the tabloid, Phelps' people offered bribes to keep the photo out of circulation, including having Phelps write an exclusive weekly column leading up to the London Games.

Now that would have been scandalous. The man who can barely carry a three-minute interview has to come up with three years' worth of ideas?

Naturally, the report exaggerated wildly by suggesting the photo could prompt a suspension from the 2012 Olympics. The World Anti-Doping Agency, USA Swimming and the U.S. Olympic Committee all dismissed that idea.

But the aftermath of '12 will be fun. Remember, after winning six golds in 2004, he got busted for DUI as a 19-year-old.
