The fight is nearly a month away but it’s not too early to talk up the biggest fight of 2011. I have already stated why "Sugar" Shane Mosley is more than a live underdog against Pacquiao. And here I will tell you why I think he’s going to defeat Manny Pacquiao next month. I almost had […]
Big Little Guys Battle For Bantamweight Supremacy
Showtime Boxing’s bantamweight tournament, featuring Joseph “King Kong” Agbeko (28-2, 22 KOs), Abner Mares (21-0, 13 KOs), Vic “Raging Bull” Darchinyan (35-3-1, 27 KOs) and Yonnhy “El Colombiano” Perez (20-1-1, 14 KOs), concludes on April 23. In the tournament final, Agbeko faces off against slick-boxing Mares to stake his claim to bantamweight supremacy (excluding Nonito […]
Why Mosley Is More Than A Live Underdog Against Pacquiao
I am going to get straight to the point and tell you four reasons why Shane Mosley (46-6-1, 39 KOs) just may spring the upset against Manny "Pac Man" Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38 KOs) on May 7. REASON #1 Chin. The reason is clear. Mosley has never been stopped in a professional boxing match. No man is […]
Berto Meets Ortiz With The WBC Alpha-Belt On The Line
When I heard that Andre Berto (27-0, 21 KOs) was fighting Victor Ortiz (28-2-1, 22 KOs) for the WBC welterweight title belt, I was both disappointed and excited. Disappointed by the fact that Berto was not facing Pacquiao, Mayweather, Clottey or Judah — all better fights in my opinion. But I was also excited by the […]
Sergio Vs. Sergei, Southpaw Vs. Southpaw
When Sergio "Maravilla" Martinez (46-2-2, 25 KOs) meets Sergei "Razor" Dzinziruk (37-0, 23 KOs) for Martinez’s Ring middleweight title on March 12, the world’s best middleweight (Martinez) will be facing one of its best junior middleweights (Dzinziruk). Both men are southpaws with sparkling records. These facts can not be denied. What can be questioned, however, is […]
A Big, Little Fight Is In Store When Donaire Battles Montiel
Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I apologize for being absent lately. Between preparing for the birth of my second child and being obsessed with the ‘Melodrama that my beloved New York Knicks are entrenched in, I have not written as often as I’d like. But to quote Eddie Murphy’s legendary Beverly Hills Cop Axel Foley, "I’m back!!!" […]
Devon Alexander Will Prove Too Great For Timothy Bradley
Back in 2008, I assumed that Junior Witter would defeat Timothy "The Desert Storm" Bradley. Then in 2009, I predicted that Bradley would lose to Kendall Holt. And since I’m of the stubborn lot, I wrote that Nate Campbell would emerge victorious in his bout with Bradley later that same year. There is no way I should bet against […]
The Fight of the Year, Fighter of the Year and Knockout of the Year
Before I list my fight of the year, fighter of the year and knockout of the year, I leave you with the following caveat. All of the winners that were selected are limited to fights that I predicted in the past year. So if you see any notable omissions, based on my selections, you will […]
Can Bernard Hopkins Turn Back The Clock Or Will He Get Clocked?
When I first found out that Bernard "the Executioner" Hopkins (51-5-1, 32 KOs) was fighting Jean Pascal (26-1, 16 KOs), the first question I asked was why did Hopkins never seem eager to fight Chad Dawson, when "Bad Chad" was the undisputed light heavyweight champion? After befuddling a seemingly uninterested Dawson in his title-claiming victory earlier […]
If His Chin Holds Up, The Wrath Of Khan Will Overwhelm Maidana
Amir Khan (23-1, 17 KOs) and Marcos Maidana (29-1, 27 KOs) meet on December 11 in arguably boxing’s most talent-rich division. The junior welterweight division is so talented that the Khan-Maidana fight will be preceded by another appetizing 140-pound matchup – Victor Ortiz (28-2-1, 22 KOs) vs Lamont Peterson (28-1, 14 KOs). That’s right, […]
