I didn’t have the guts to pick "Sugar" Shane Mosley to defeat Antonio Margarito this past Saturday, but I have a pretty clear idea why he did. Here are the reasons why: #10 Miguel Cotto. Did Margarito leave some of himself in the ring after his brutal victory over Cotto nearly a year ago? #9 Bernard […]
Sweet Redemption For Mosley Is A Distinct Possibility
Based on the recent performances of each fighter, I overstand why many pundits have Antonio Margarito (37-5-1 NC, 27 KOs) listed as a comfortable favorite over "Sugar" Shane Mosley (45-5, 38 KOs) when they meet at the Staples Center on Saturday, January 24 for the WBA welterweight title. However, I am not so sure. Before you call me […]
Berto And Collazo Ring In The New Boxing Year
Happy New Year! I hope your holidays were as good as mine. The only thing missing from my "break" was a major televised boxing match. I’m not too sad though, with two major welterweight fights on deck. Like many of you, I eagerly await the Antonio Margarito vs Shane Mosley showdown in three weeks. But I’d be […]
Pac Man Is The Year’s Best Fighter
It is not difficult to bestow this honor upon Manny "Pac Man" Pacquiao. While his destruction of Oscar De La Hoya may not have been the year’s best or most significant fight, it did show that he is one bad man. It’s not that he beat the respected "Golden Boy," it’s the fact that he beat him down. […]
Valuev Will Beat Holyfield But Is Not The Real Deal
Webster’s Dictionary defines delusion as a persistent, false or psychotic belief regarding the self or persons or objects outside the self that is maintained despite indisputable evidence to the contrary. I know that is a mouthful, but I think it clearly explains the phenomenon that is Evander "Real Deal" Holyfield (42-9-2, 27 KOs). At some point, […]
Dr. Steelhammer Will Drill The Rock Into The Canvas
Man, I tell you, Hasim "the Rock" Rahman (45-6, 36 KOs) has more lives than twin cats. In what seems like his 100th title attempt, he challenges Wladimir "Dr. Steelhammer" Klitschko (51-3, 45 KOs) this Saturday for the heavyweight championship of the world. Since his resounding defeat to Lennox Lewis in their heavyweight title rematch nearly eight years […]
De La Hoya Vs. Pacquiao: A Superfight In Name Only
Yes, I said it. This fight is not a superfight. It is a spectacle being marketed as a superfight. The spectacle centers around the current pound-for-pound king Manny "Pac Man" Pacquiao (47-3, 35 KOs), who began his career fighting at a mere 106 pounds, facing off against "the Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya (39-5, […]
Verno Will Lose To The Man With No Weight Class
Since no big name fighters from welterweight to junior middleweight appear too eager to fight Paul "the Punisher" Williams (35-1, 26 KOs), enter Verno Phillips (42-10, 21 KOs). As he seeks boxing stardom, it’s apparent that Williams will do whatever it takes (including shuttling up and down in weight) to stay active and fight whoever […]
Hatton Will Chase Down Malignaggi Over Twelve
Styles make fights. This is true, but my concern here is that this fight will be coyote ugly. Ricky "the Hit Man" Hatton (44-1-1, 31 KOs) often does more holding than his nickname would suggest. His opponent Paulie Malignaggi (25-1, 5 KOs) is known as the "Magic Man," but often moves around so much in the ring […]
Lacy Will Be A Little Worse Than Bad Intentions
Jermain "Bad Intentions" Taylor (27-2-1, 17 KOs) and Jeff "Left Hook" Lacy (24-1, 17 KOs) need not listen to Bones-Thugs-N-Harmony to realize they are meeting at the crossroads this Saturday in their super middleweight tussle. Taylor is coming off of consecutive losses to Kelly Pavlik while Lacy is on a three-fight winning streak. If their […]
