I am in a somewhat irritable mood based on my recent boxing prediction failures. But as you probably guessed, I ain’t going anywhere. I’m in it to win it, like an accomplished boxer trying to save his career. It may sound kind of extreme, but when Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KOs) meets Yuri Foreman (28-0, 8 […]

First off, I want to apologize to my dedicated commenters, like Jeff, who warned me not to pick Paulie Malignaggi to upset Amir Khan. That upset pick halted my 20 boxing prediction winning streak. The "fight pickings" get no easier this week. Enter the fourth installation of Israel Vazquez (44-4, 32 KOs) vs. Rafael Marquez (38-5, […]

When Amir "King" Khan (22-1, 16 KOs) makes his American debut at Madison Square Garden this Saturday against one of Brooklyn’s finest pure boxers Paulie Malignaggi (27-3, 5 KOs), it reminds me of Prince Naseem Hamed’s triumphant journey to the Big Apple’s core in 1997 against one of Queens’ finest boxer-punchers — Kevin "the Flushing Flash" […]

The Paul "the Punisher" Williams (38-1, 27 KOs) vs. Kermit "the Killer" Cintron billboard reads like a comic book movie title. And yes, it will be violent. In a fight that was originally scheduled to take place nearly two years ago, I expect Williams to be too much for Cintron in their junior middleweight tussle. I give […]

I’ll keep it real. I like Tomasz Adamek (40-1, 27 KOs). I think he’s one of the more underrated fighters in the sport. He may not be the quickest or most graceful boxer out there, but he’s tough-as-nails, has extremely heavy hands, and most importantly, punches very straight. Cristobal Arreola (28-1, 25 KOs) is very similar […]

Carl "the Cobra" Froch (26-0, 20 KOs) is the perfect opponent for Mikkel "the Viking Warrior" Kessler (42-2, 32 KOs) right now. He’s the least talented of the six boxers in Showtime’s groundbreaking super middleweight tournament. He’s the easiest to hit. And even better for Kessler, he’ll be fighting Froch in front of his adoring fans in […]

On May 1, 2010, Floyd "Money" Mayweather, Jr. (40-0, 25 KOs) and "Sugar" Shane Mosley (46-5, 39 KOs) battle for welterweight supremacy. But more importantly, they are battling for a chance at a mega-fight against Manny Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KOs).  To the winner goes the spoils. Who’s going win? I’m predicting a Floyd Mayweather unanimous decision victory based […]

Now that the weather is warming up around my area, boxing seems to be following suit. Excluding the recent Hopkins-Jones II debacle, the next couple of weeks are truly worthy of anticipation and excitement. Andre Berto (25-0, 19 KOs) vs Carlos Quintana (27-2, 21 KOs) Welcome back Andre Berto. I just wanted to get that shout-out […]
