World Class Promotions hosted an amateur boxing card this past Saturday in Catskill. "Rumble in the Catskills III" hosted 14 Olympic-style boxing matches. A number of local gyms were represented, including fighters from Syracuse Golden Gloves, Albany City Boxing, Old School Boxing in Ellenville, and the legendary Catskill Gym (home of the late Hall of Fame Trainer Cus D'Amato, and recent International Boxing Hall Of Fame inductee, "Iron" Mike Tyson).
Also worth noting-- the baddest man to ever come out of the South Bronx (that's bad), three-time world champion, Iran "The Blade" Barkley was in attendence. For those of you who don't know, Barkley holds two wins over Thomas Hearns, and has fought the likes of James Toney, Nigel Benn, Michael Nunn, and Roberto Duran.

"Fire-Fly" Tay Fisher Returns to Albany
Before Siena ever took the court Sunday night, former Saint Tay Fisher returned to the Times Union Center with his new teammates, The Harlem Globetrotters! As you may have guessed, Tay's squad was able to take down perennial loser, the Generals. It was fun to see how Tay fits right into the show that is the Harlem Globetrotters. It was a fun afternoon for children and adults alike and a great way to lead into Siena's 7pm season finale against Marist. Welcome home Tay!
Rossiter, Siena Get Win on Senior Night
Ryan Rossiter took the court Sunday night in his final home game as a Siena Saint. For those who have followed Ryan through his four year career in Loudonville, it was no surprise to see him dump 34 points and become the single season rebounding king at Siena, all on Senior Night. Fellow senior Clarance Jackson contributed with a much needed 19 point outburst, as Siena rolled to a 81-73 victory over Marist. Both seniors, Rossiter in particular, received numerous standing ovations throughout the game
Because Canicius was able to knock off Loyola yesterday afternoon, Siena was locked into the 7 seed for the upcoming MAAC Tournament, to be held in Bridgeport, CT. Siena will take on the 10 seed in Manhattan College on Friday night at 9:30pm. The game will be broadcast in the Albany Recovery Sports Grill (62 New Scotland Ave.) for any fans who are not traveling to the game. Saturday, Sunday and Monday games will be televised.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered
All that's left to speculate at this point is what number will Mr. Anthony wear (15 and 22 are both retired by the Knicks)? As of 11pm last night, Carmelo Anthony is officially a NY Knick, and will be so for at least three more seasons! It did, however, come at a high price! As stated in my last "Melo" post, the Knicks likely gave up way more than they needed to acquire Anthony. That being said, you can always rework the supporting cast. It is far more difficult to land two superstars on the same team, and the Knicks have now done that with Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire. It may take a year or two to redevelop the supporting cast but it will be a much easier sell to bring in solid role players, knowing they will play beside these two stars. Also, expect the Knicks to go after one of these three guys next season: Chris Paul, Daren Williams, or Dwight Howard.
Anthony should make his Knicks debut on Wednesday night in front of a sold out, electric Madison Square Garden. Oh, and did I mention that I have tickets to next Wednesday's game against Chris Paul and the Hornets? Tickets I paid $85 each for a month ago are now going for $300+. I will forgo selling my seats, however, and take in a great Knicks game! Welcome aboard Carmelo!
