On the surface, Juan "Iron Twin" Urango (21-1-1, 16 KOs) appears to be an excellent test for the fast-rising Andre Berto (24-0, 19 KOs) in their upcoming WBC welterweight title fight. Urango has faced good competition in Mike Arnaoutis (D 12), Ricky Hatton (L 12) and Herman Ngoudjo (W 12). He has a good knockout ratio (70%). And he’ll be fighting […]
From PunchOut!! To Fight Night Round 4, Mike Tyson Returns
I'm writing this post because my boy Diallo asked me to. I'm glad that he did. I'm not into video games like I used to be, but after visiting EA Sports' Fight Night promotional site and watching a pre-fight simulation of Pacquiao vs Hatton on ESPN.COM, I now understand why he told me to write a post about Fight Night […]
Wake Me When It Is Over: Chagaev And Valuev Meet Again
First off, I’d like to apologize to my readers for my often negative posts about upcoming fights that do not interest me. But I hope you respect my honesty. Simply put, this heavyweight matchup makes Dawson-Tarver II seem like Holyfield-Tyson II in terms of anticipation. Why do I feel this way? The challenger Nikolay Valuev (50-1, 34 KOs) is […]
Edison Miranda Attempts To Halt The Rise Of Andre Ward
Knockout: 1 a: the act of knocking out b: the condition of being knocked out. This is the definition of knockout, according to Webster’s Online Dictionary. Edison "Pantera" Miranda (32-3, 28 KOs) may as well be a synonym for the term. Typically, his fights end up with his opponent knocked out or him separated from his senses. […]
Pacqui-Wow! Manny Pacquiao Annihilates Ricky Hatton
Last night, I almost slept through the Pacquiao-Hatton fight. After a few glasses of Bacardi rum I was nearly knocked out on my couch. The good news: I was able to sleep through most of the underwhelming undercard. The (almost) bad news: I nearly missed the main event. Maybe it was the nightmare that I had […]
Second Fight, Same Outcome: Dawson-Tarver II
It troubled me to write this post. However, since I provide insight weekly, I felt compelled to share my Dawson-Tarver II fight prediction. The prediction is easy. I already successfully predicted the outcome of their first fight. And I expect a similar outcome the second time around. This post was difficult for me to write because Antonio "the Magic Man" Tarver (27-5, […]
Men At Work: Pac Man Meets The Hit Man
Last week I stated the case for Ricky Hatton against Manny Pacquiao, but today I will tell you why he has little chance to win next Saturday. It’s simple. Manny Pacquiao is the better fighter. When I looked at each key factor in this fight, nearly all of them seem to point to a Pac Man victory. […]
Hatton Vs. Pacquiao: The Case For Hatton
The upcoming battle for supremacy at 140 pounds is such a big fight, that it deserves two posts. Next week, I’ll state the case for Manny "Pac Man" Pacquiao (48-3-2, 36 KOs) along with my prediction for the fight. Today, I state the case for Ricky Hatton. What I am about write will give Ricky "Hitman" Hatton’s (45-1, […]
The Golden Boy’s Greatest Hits And Misses
The top boxing news story this week was Oscar De La Hoya’s retirement announcement. It’s major news when the greatest ticket seller that the sport has ever seen calls it quits. His fans, often referred to as "golden boys and girls" shed tears, HBO’s boxing brass continues its search for an heir apparent, and hungry contenders helplessly watch their dreams of fighting […]
A Cobra Is Taylor-Made For Bad Intentions
I’ll come clean. I have never seen Carl "the Cobra" Froch (24-0, 19 KOs) fight. Outside of this YouTube boxing clip, I know as much about Carl Froch as I know about nuclear physics. But I do know something about boxing and a little bit about Jermain "Bad Intentions" Taylor (28-2-1, 17 KOs). What am I getting […]
