After a long hiatus, former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion King Mo Lawal is finally back on Twitter, but he's still hosting a mailbag on FightHype.com to stay in touch with fans and answer any and all questions related to himself, mixed martial arts, boxing, or just about anything. Send an email to King Mo at kingmo@fighthype.com and maybe next week, you too can see your questions and Lawal's responses in Mo's Midweek Grind. Check out what fans were asking and what King Mo had to say in this week's mailbag as he touches on his training at AKA, his thoughts on upcoming fight, like Khan vs. Judah and Mayweather vs. Ortiz, and much more.
Ay mo's midweek grind is the realist shit ever bro! Lol But I need to kno Who you got in the Amir Kahn vs zab Judah fight on July 23rd? And what are your thoughts on victor Ortiz as a fighter? Cuz a lot of writers are now startin to bash mayweather saying he picked Ortiz cuz he knows this will b a easy fight and tht Ortiz will never b an elite fighter! Are they just hating or should Floyd have picked sum1 else? Good look on last weeks answers by the way. - mikep
King Mo: Thanks for the support. I like Khan in this fight; hungrier, younger, and fresher! I think Ortiz is a tough, young man. He beat Berto. I thought Berto would be too big and too strong for him. I was wrong. To those writers talking shit, how many of 'em have been a champion in any combat sports or been through a trainin camp? Or been punched in the mouth by a man or woman that was trained to punch someone in the mouth? They some hatin' ass bitches!
What's up King Mo, I know everybody wants to talk about "Olympic" testing, but the truth is, professionalcombat sports are NOT the Olympics. That's why we have State Athletic Commissions. Do you agree? Also, MMA and Boxing are the Sh**, and can't wait to see you fight again! One last question though...Who's your favorite fighter and boxer to watch right now?? My opinion 1st best-ANDERSON SILVA/JON JONES/ALDO & MANNY PACQUIAO...distant 2nd-GSP and Floyd Mayweather Jr.
King Mo: Hell no I don't agree. Ask Resto, Cintron, Cotto, Joppy, and David Reid about the so-called commissions. All those guys I named possibly lost because their opponents gloves or wraps were tainted. NJ and CA have the strictest drug testing screening among all the commissions. If there is a mega-fight and the promoters are willing to pay for the best stuff, then let 'em. The Tour De France ain't an Olympic event, but I think they do Olympic testing. My favorite fighters to watch now are Daniel Ghita, Tyrone Spong, Badr Hari, and Gokhan Saki, from kickboxing. Boxing is Sergio Martinez, Bryan Vera, BHop, Cloud, Canelo, Floyd, and Toney. MMA, I really ain't got one.I like watchin game plans.
KING MO ARE U CRAZY...LOL HOW THE HELL U PUT BOOKA N DOUBLE A IN A MATCH LIKE THAT.....LOL IT GOTTA BE U THE GREAT KABUKI AND MAGNUM TA DAWG....LOL SHOOT MATTA OF FACT U N THE ORIGINAL SKY SCRAPERS MEAN MARK CALLUS (UNDERTAKER) N SID VICIOUS....CUZ SID CAN TAP THAT ARSE ON VADER....OR U CAN GIVE OR TAKE BAM BAM BIGELOW....
King Mo: LOL. You a fool! At leat I didn't say me, Glacier, and Doink the clown vs. the Brooklyn Brawler and the Bushwhackers. LOL.
Hey Mo, If I remember correctly you trained with Shane Carwin before right? Is there any upside to him or is he just a big punch. I just didn't see much diversity in him...and then pumping him as a great wrestler...forget it. Holla back...Oh; glad you back on Twitter fam!~
King Mo: He is a smart fighter and very talented. You might not see diversity in him, but I do 'cuz I have worked out with him. Thanks for the support.
Mo, How does it feel to be back in the gym training my man? Is AKA serving it's purpose for you? Best of luck my man. Just wanted to give you props.
King Mo: AKA is a great gym. I'm getting good work and tactical and strategical training. I'm puttin' it all together.
Hey Mo, I'm sure you are happy to see Floyd back in the ring. Victor could change the course of a fight with one punch. Obviously he would have to land that punch and I see Floyd boxing circles around him, but I wanted to get your opinion on how you think the fight is going to go??? Red-Beantown
King Mo: Red, I dont know what's gonna happen. One punch and it could be over bro, or we could see a masterful boxing exhibition.
I gotta ask u, what's the craziest place a fan wanted u to sign or the craziest thing a fan wanted u to do to them...also, are you a fan of 5 round main events for no title? Much love here in Japan; when you coming back? V-Zang
King Mo: I honestly never had any crazy fan stories. I'm cool with whatever helps us get more money. LOL. I hope K1 comes back so I can go back to Japan and watch good fights.
I was a big 3D fan but I am really convinced that Floyd is afraid to get whipped. Not only is this embarrassing for Black Men but it tells me that he's gotten soft with all the fame and fortune we fans paid him...The saddest part is he isnt abt the fan but about his pocket book. He will be the last person I will ever follow...God siad never to put your hope in Man.Floyd is corrupt from the corre and the only way he will fight Pac is if he was stripped of his wealth and errogance. - Embarrassed and disapointed.
King Mo: First of all, the only thing embarrassing for black men is a nigga like you. You think people fight for free? It ain't about the fans 'cuz a lot of fans are fair-weather fans, just like yourself. Floyd is so corrupt that he is asking for Olympic style drug testing, which has no cut-off dates? The problem with hoe ass niggas like you is that whatever Floyd does will never be good enough. Ask Roy Jones. A true man follows no one. For you to even mention that you would consider following Floyd shows you a bitch! Quit being a bitch nigga and support a real nigga! I give Floyd props for stepping up and paying for Genaro Hernandez's funeral. Genaro was a great man and champion. But you say Floyd is corrupt? I spit on muthafuckaz like you. You make me sick and I'ma be really embarrassed if you black!
