Will the Real UFC Welterweight Champ Stand Up.

What are the things that have happened to boxing? Is it the disappearance of boxing from free television? Is it the multitude of champions? Well countless articles have been written about this, so I won’t start here, but guess what? I think MMA is starting to catch some of the diseases.   I just read on Sherdog.com that […]

The Chinese Are Coming! The Chinese Are Coming!

The sleeping Eastern Dragon is now awakening, with one breakthrough in boxing after another. In the 2004 Athens Olympics, there were five Chinese boxers qualified for the Games. Shiming Zou was the only boxer to win a medal, and he broke China’s Olympic boxing medal drought by capturing one bronze. Apart from Zou another boxer […]

Sunday’s You Tube Moment-A Collection of Great Knockouts

There is actually very little known about what exactly causes a knockout but many agree it has to do with minor trauma to the brain stem. This usually happens when the head rotates sharply, often caused by a strike. Source. http://www.wikipedia.com

Well I Guess I Don’t Know Everything.

Virgill Hill was WBA Cruiserweight Champion? I guess he must have been as Firat Arslan became the new champion last night via unanimous decision.

Are they still fighting?

And That My Friends is What I Call a Jerk-Off. I Mean Jerk-Offs

I guess they both must have received more punishment than we thought. In yesterday’s post fight press conference, both Fernando Vargas and Ricardo Mayorga took pages out of South Park’s Jackovasaur. One one side you had Mayorga getting on his knees and begging forgiveness for his pre-fight insults. Didn’t he insult his mother and wife? […]

The Oldest 29-Year old I Have Ever Seen

Last night Fernando Vargas looked 40 years old. Maybe it was because he lost over 100 pounds in preparation for this fight. Maybe it was because he had left it all in the ring during his career. I don’t know. All I know his decline in skills started with the beat down Felix Trinidad gave […]

He Don’t Think It’s a Damn Show. He Thinks It’s A Damn Fight

Jesse Feliciano made his point last night. He was tagged round in and round out, but he never gave up.  He wasn’t supposed to win and he didn’t. But what he did do is get the respect of the boxing audience. Call him a poor man’s version of Arturo Gatti minus the punch. He gave […]
