Earlier in the year when this fight was originally signed, my assumption was that it would easily challenge the rematches between Israel Vazquez-Rafael Marquez and Manny Pacquiao-Juan Manuel Marquez for fight of the year honors. However, as the battle for welterweight supremacy quickly approaches, I increasingly see Miguel Cotto (32-0, 26 KOs) as a strong favorite […]
Dr. Steelhammer Will Nail Thompson To The Canvas
I really only have one question about this heavyweight title fight. Which Wladimir Klitschko (50-3, 44 KO) will show up? Will it be the passive Klitschko, who pawed his way to a sleep-inducing win against over-matched Sultan Ibragimov (22-1, 17 KO)? Or will it be the cold and calculated destroyer who beat the snot out […]
Rated R For Revenge: Holt To Decision Torres
On September 8, 2007, Kendall "Rated R" Holt (23-2, 12 KOs) lost by technical knockout to Ricardo Torres (32-1, 28 KOs) in Barranquilla, Colombia for the WBO welterweight belt. Barranquilla is a Caribbean port city with a storied tradition, tracing its origin back to 1629. By the 1940s, the city declined due to widespread corruption. If you watch the 11th […]
Manny Pacquiao Will Prove Too Fast For David Diaz
When you read my post headline, you probably assume that its simply a showcase fight for the Pac-Man (46-3-2, 35 KO) to pick up an easy lightweight title belt. However, I know better. And so should you. If you are wondering why you should know better, I’ll let you in on a little secret. David Diaz (34-1-1, 17 […]
Arthur Abraham Shuts Up Edison Miranda And Me
To all "King" Arthur Abraham (27-0, 22 KOs), fans, I extend a heartfelt apology for predicting that he would lose to Edison "Pantera" Miranda (30-3, 26 KOs). It was obvious after round one, that Abraham was superior in terms of defense and ring generalship. Damn was I wrong. OK, enough of me beating myself up about my rare, […]
Look For Miranda To Avenge Earlier Loss To Abraham
It is often said that when people are faced with a difficult choice, they draw upon prior experiences. In order to predict the outcome of this fight, I am doing just that. I will admit that this pick is not an easy one – Edison Miranda lost the first bout with Arthur Abraham, and I usually do […]
Re-Enter Paul Williams, Exit Floyd Mayweather?
If you believed that Carlos "El Indio" Quintana’s first victory over Paul "the Punisher" Williams was a fluke, then their fight this past Saturday proved it. Like their first encounter, this fight started fast, with both fighters trading shots in the center of the ring. However, two things were very different this time around. Quintana, 25-2, […]
Easy Pickings, Kelly Pavlik To Destroy Gary Lockett
I had to go to Wikipedia to check out Gary Lockett’s (30-1, 21 KOs) "boxing resume" to see if he was a worthy opponent for Kelly Pavlik (33-0, 29 KOs). I felt like a headhunter using MySpace as a job recruiting site. I saw a lot of interesting names like Kai Kauramaki (13-13), Ayitey Powers (11-4-1) […]
Mike Tyson Tells All, Should We Care To Listen?
Mike Tyson may not be fighting anymore, but he’s still speaking his mind. As history has shown, that can be good, bad or ugly. In the new documentary entitled Tyson, it appears that all three adjectives are appropriate. The film has received a decent reception at the Cannes Film Festival in France. I am sure […]
Will Ricky Hatton And Junior Witter Finally Meet?
Rabid British boxing fans aren’t the only ones seeking an answer to the question posed in my post title. On the other side of the pond (the U.S.), we are just as eager to find out who the best junior welterweight in the world is. Should Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton and Junior "The Hitter" Witter take care […]
