  1. Canelo will give Mayweather his first knock down, maybe his toughest fight next to Dela Hoya/Cotto but Floyd will win by decision. I do give credit to canelo for the fact that he "punches through" where as Guerrero did not. 

  2. These are still very new and I'm clearly still in the honeymoon phase. However, I just wanted to share some images of a pretty decent shine I achieved on these Alden color 8 shell boots.

    Fridays are a home office day for me and I'm usually burdened with multiple conference calls. This allows me hours of uninterrupted shoe care time (and helps me from nodding off during the interminable conference calls). I decided to have a go at my week-old #8 cap toe boots. If there is a model that's crying for a mirror toe, it is the cap toe.

    Boots looked great with just a good brushing (Mac method). They were pretty drab out of the box but ~15 min of brushing really helped (1st image). For the shine, I applied a light/thin coat of Renovateur to the entire upper, brushed, then applied a few extremely thin coats of Saphir Cordovan wax just to the toe, followed by more brushing. I finished by buffing with a microfiber cloth and a couple drops of water just on the toe.

    Because they have very little contrast, it's hard to capture the shine in an image.The pictures are a bit deceiving but there is no wax at all past the cap. The wax actually stops just shy of the brogued section.

    This is the 'Before' image with 15-20 minutes of brushing:

    And these are the 'Afters' :

    You can clearly see my reflection (standing with the camera) in just about every image <_< .
