By

ESPN Friday Night Fights (FNF) is a weekly show that has been showcasing the best upcoming talent in boxing for the past 15 years.  Some of the biggest names in boxing got their first break on Friday Night Fights and the show is set to make its third trip in the last four months to […]

2012 Fight Insight Honors

By

Before I present you with my opinionated holiday offerings before the end of the year, I must provide a disclaimer. I am only highlighting boxers and fights that I actually watched in person or on television this year (so please keep your complaints muted).  And there were quite a few notable fights on television this […]

First The Father Of Kronk Boxing, Now Macho Times Ends Too Soon

By

A month after the sudden and shocking loss of Hall of Fame trainer Emmanuel Steward, we now mourn the tragic death of one of boxing’s most demonstrative showmen, Hector "Macho" Camacho.  We all know there are a lot of unanswered questions surrounding the shooting death of Camacho and his friend as they sat outside a bar […]

Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez Meet For The 100th Time

By

I am only kidding about Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez meeting for the one-hundredth time obviously, but the fact that they are meeting for the fourth, and hopefully final time, is no laughing matter.  In fact, I feel that this monotonous matchup amounts to cruel and unusual punishment for boxing fans who have been […]

Thank You…Emmanuel Steward

By

Thank you, Emmanuel Steward. Thank you for sharpening Thomas Hearns' skills as a boxer, for that, I am thankful. He was my (late) father's favorite fighter, and hence a boxer who I grew up following and enjoying. Thank you for helping my favorite heavyweight of all-time, Evander Holyfield, resuscitate his career with an unexpected victory […]

Why Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. Has No Chance Against Sergio Martinez

By

They don’t call middleweight kingpin Sergio Martinez (49-2-2, 28 KO’s) "Maravilla" for nothing. For the linguistically-challenged, the Spanish adjective Maravilla means marvelous.  And marvelous is just how I expect Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. (46-0-1, 32 KO’s) to make Martinez look at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada in less than two weeks.  Don’t […]

Andre Ward Vs. Chad Dawson Fight Prediction

By

When it comes to superfights like this one, pitting two, elite boxers in their physical primes against one another, I have to pull out my calculator. INPUT -> SHIFT -> ENTER -> = WINNER OK, I’m done calculating.  Based on my various fight INPUTS, SHIFTS in opinion, and data ENTERED, I have come up with […]

Do You Know Who Vasyl Lomachenko Is?

By

Do you know who Vasyl Lomachenko is? Until today, if you told me that he was a Russian physicist, I wouldn’t have questioned your claim. > But now that I know who he is-the best amateur boxer in the world, I feel somewhat embarrassed. According to ESPN, "the 24-year-old lightweight with sublime hand speed and devastating […]

What Is Worth More To Floyd Mayweather? Gold or Cents?

By

Now that another big fight, Tavoris Cloud vs Jean Pascal, has been scrapped (sigh), I turn my attention to another battle brewing outside of the boxing ring. ; In one corner, you have promotional heavyweight, Golden Boy Promotions, led by Oscar De La Hoya and Richard Schaefer. In the other corner, you have neophyte promoter […]
