Eddie Alvarez Forces Doctor Stoppage of Roger Huerta at Bellator 33
Roger Huerta at Bellator 33, the Bellator lightweight champion held true to that promise. Alvarez was seldom challenged by Huerta through two rounds, winning by TKO after the cageside doctor stopped the fight before the third round.
Philadelphia is known for producing world-class boxers, including Joe Frazier, Sonny Liston and Bernard Hopkins. Even Rocky was from Philly. But Alvarez needed no Rocky-like comeback on Thursday.
He worked kicks to Huerta's legs early in the first round that immediately chased Huerta from his southpaw stance. And those kicks set up a precision boxing display for the better part of 10 minutes. Though Alvarez rocked Huerta repeatedly, he was never able to land one big knockout punch.
"What a tough son of a ...," Alvarez said in his post-fight interview. "That guy wouldn't go down. I hit him with a lot of really good shots and my hat's off to Roger for staying in there as long as he did."
Alvarez continually was one step ahead of Huerta's best shots, forcing the eight-time UFC veteran into a counter-attacking gameplan. But most of Huerta's offense seemed to pass just close enough to Alvarez for him to know it was there.
In the second round, Alvarez continued to pepper away at Huerta. And slowly but surely, Huerta's left eye continued to look worse. With about a minute left in the round, Huerta caught an Alvarez kick and used it for a takedown. And after Alvarez got back to his feet, Huerta landed a suplex. But that was all the offense Huerta could muster, and it was too little, too late.
Alvarez, widely regarded as one of the top 10 lightweights in the world, improves to 21-2 with the win and has won six straight. Huerta, who had said before the fight that a loss might be his last in the sport, drops to 21-5-1 and 1-2 in Bellator.

James Harrison Played Dirty - Full Video
James Harrison led with his helmet on more than just the two plays that sidelined two of his Cleveland teammates with concussions.
Mack said Harrison, who was fined $75,000 for his hard hit on Browns wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi and knocked out Joshua Cribbs on a running play, speared running back Peyton Hillis when he was on the ground.
"The helmet-to-helmet with Cribbs is a little more innocent, to some extent," Mack said Thursday. "You're still leading with your head. It's a dumb move no matter what you do. If you watch the game film, [Harrison] was doing that to everyone on every play. People would be on the ground and he would try to spear them. There's a play on film where Peyton Hillis is tackled and he comes up and spears him. It's like you're being cheap, you're being dirty."
The helmet-to-helmet hits and believes the league should do all it can to protect and educate players.
"A lot of the arguments right now are people are taught from Pee Wee football that this is how you play," Mack said. "Well, we need to change that. You can't be breaking your head. There are better ways to tackle. We're taught you're not supposed to spear with the top of your head."
Shortly before his hit on Massaquoi, Harrison blasted Cribbs, who ran the ball out of the wildcat formation. Neither Cribbs nor Massaquoi has practiced this week. Harrison returned to practice on Thursday, one after he threatened to retire because of the league's crackdown on dangerous hits.
The Oprah Winfrey Show - Tyler Perry molested - Full Video
Tyler Perry is ready to talk about his childhood "hell," in which he was sexually and physically abused by family members. And he's talking to Oprah Winfrey in his first interview on the subject.
The filmmaker choked back tears as he recalled the day he "died," when he was first raped by a member of his family. He said he once blacked-out for three days. As the tears gave way to rage, Perry told Winfrey, "It's so disgusting."
The "Why Did I Get Married?" director first raised the subject of his abusive childhood in 2009, when he posted a letter on his website after experiencing a flood of memories following a screening of the Oscar-nominated "Precious," which he co-produced.
"My father came home, mad at the world," he wrote. "He was drunk, as he was most of the time. He got the vacuum cleaner extension cord and trapped me in a room and beat me until the skin was coming off my back."
And he tells of how his grandmother made a bizarre attempt to rid him of his allergies. "She said she was going to kill these germs on me once and for all," he says. "She gave me a bath in ammonia."

Dayna Kempson Schacht Death Video Denounced by Parents - Video
A video of dead Dayna Kempson-Schacht recorded after her car crash is prompting outrage. The “death video” of Dayna Kempson-Schacht, a mother of two, was recorded by her ex-brother in law, a Georgia firefighter. On the Today Show Tuesday, Dayna Kempson-Schacht’s parents called for changes to law enforcement policies.
Dayna Kempson-Schacht had crashed her SUV July 17. She immediately perished. The 23 year old’s ex-brother-in-law was dispatched to the crash scene. He immediately pulled out his cellphone and began recording a video of Dayna. That is where the problem began, says Dayna’s father. Dayna Kempson-Schacht’s parents claim that legislation should be enacted barring law enforcement from carrying personal cellphones on the job. They claim that, by having access to personal digital devices, police can digress from the call to duty and engaged in misconduct. “Any responder on any scene at any time who’s allowed to have his cell phone could take these videos.”
The Spalding County Sheriff’s office has yet to conclude its investigation. But it confirms the video was recorded by a personal cellphone.
The firefighter’s antics didn’t end there. He later took the cell to a local bar and replayed the video for drunk patrons. Not yet complete, the firefighter started texting the video to others. It remains unclear who uploaded the video online. And despite logic, the firefighter once called to the scene never attempted to rescue the deceased Dayna. He simply stood there and recorded her.

Kanye West Shares 'Banned' Naked Album Cover (PHOTO)
Kanye continued over a series of tweets:
In the 70s album covers had actual nudity... It's so funny that people forget that... Everything has been so commercialized now.
I know that cover just blew yall minds ... I wish yall could see how hard I'm smiling right now!!!
In all honesty ... I really don't be thinking about Wal-Mart when I make my music or album covers #Kanyeshrug! I wanna sell albums but not at the expense of my true creativity.
So Nirvana can have a naked human being on they cover but I can't have a PAINTING of a monster with no arms and a polka dot tail and wings.
