I’ve been on the wrong side of the prediction game as of late. Maybe it’s just been a case of bad luck, as we have witnessed our fair share of upsets. The two "Vics" losing, Diaz and Darchinyan, sure did not help my cause. Maybe the boxing fight predictor isn’t working? Doubtful. Whatever it is, […]
Betting Against Timothy Bradley Has Not Worked For Me So Far But …
… I’m no quitter. I assumed that Bradley would lose to Junior Witter last May. I was wrong. I also predicted that Kendall Holt would defeat Timothy Bradley (24-0, 11 KOs) in March. I was wrong. And I am predicting that Nate "The Galaxxy Warrior" Campbell (33-5-1, 25 KOs) will defeat him on August 1. Why stop now? Seriously, […]
Post-Joe Calzaghe, Six Super Middleweights Stake Their Claim
Just like his compatriot Lennox Lewis, Joe Calzaghe left no doubt as to who the alpha male in his division was. Largely defined by his thrashing of then-undefeated Jeff Lacy as well as his dominant victory over then-undefeated Mikkel Kessler, “the Pride of Wales” ruled the 168-pound division with an iron fist, never losing a […]
The Sky Is Falling, First Arguello Now Gatti Leaves Us …
In July, I guess I’m supposed to cry. Please do not confuse me for Langston Hughes or even Kanye West, but I am feeling both poetical and reflexive given the recent sobering events. I hope you all forgive me for not writing a post the day that it was found out that the great Alexis […]
Amir Khan Will Have The Power Of An Adoring Nation Behind Him
When Andriy Kotelnik (31-2, 13 KOs) travels to Manchester, United Kingdom to defend his WBA lightweight title against Amir Khan (20-1, 15 KOs), it will seem like he’s facing Khan and British royal guards. Kotelnik is a very competent titlist, but this fight is set up for Khan to shine. Khan is poised to succeed Joe […]
Little Men, Big Nicknames And An Action Fight In Store
This matchup reads like a monster flic: "The Raging Bull Meets King Kong." It won’t be a monster flic, but it may be one helluva fight. "The Raging Bull" Vic Darchinyan (32-1-1, 26 KOs) may not have one of the most original nicknames in the business. Fans of Jake LaMotta would actually be pissed. But no […]
Look For A Vicious Performance By Victor Ortiz On Saturday
Don’t let Marcos Rene Maidana’s (25-1, 24 KOs) sparkling record fool you. I have a sneaking suspicion that he’s going to turn out like fellow Argentinian Walter Dario Matthysse (26-5, 25 KOs). Maidana, like Matthysse, is the perfect combination of an eye-catching high knockout percentage built up against largely unknown competition. The result: a perfect […]
Wake Me When It Is Over, Part II: Now Chagaev Meets Klitschko
Just when you thought the heavyweight division couldn’t get any more confusing and ridiculously lame, get ready for Wladimir Klitschko versus Ruslan Chagaev next Saturday. Last month, Chagaev was forced to cancel his proposed bout with Nicolay Valuev for the second time due to a bout with a very personal health issue. I’ll spare you the […]
David Haye-Maker Versus David Haye-Faker
In the mythical matchup between David Haye-Maker and David Haye-Faker, round one goes to the Faker. Seriously, when I heard the news that David Haye was pulling out of his heavyweight title fight with Wladimir Klitschko, I assumed that it was an Internet rumor. Unfortunately, it was not. After talking so much trash about what he was going […]
Cotto Invites Clottey To His Annual Madison Square Garden Party
Alas, after a few weeks of one-sided fights and meaningless alphabelt face-offs, June 13 can’t come sooner. For my Boriqua friends and many others, the day will be a festive moment, landing on the eve of the Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York City. For my fellow boxing fans, it represents an annual show at Madison Square Garden, […]
