Whoever said “styles make fights” never saw Keith Jardine in the cage. Bouncing like an under-inflated football, hands held high and wide, back curved like a question mark, chin swaying in the breeze. It’s embarrassing to call what he does a style. He’s like a drunken hunchbacked orangutan.

		<description><![CDATA[Floyd Mayweather Jr. continues to hype his return to boxing after a 16-month retirement (he faces Juan Manuel Marquez in a 144-pound catchweight bout on Sept. 19). Coming on the heels of UFC 100 and all the attention it&#8217;s been getting, it&#8217;s no surprise he throws a few jabs at mixed martial arts, starting at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Every interview I see or read with Floyd Mayweather Jr., the more he starts to sound like his father. By that I mean he sounds like an angry homeless dude.
