Are Performancing Enhancing Drugs Ruining Boxing?

By

The question I  pose in my blog post title, implies that there is, in fact, a performance-enhancing drug (PED) problem in the sport. I’m not exactly sure but here’s some background. The first major drug test incident that comes to mind was Fernando Vargas’ failed drug test after his brutal TKO loss to Oscar De […]

Who Cares About The WBO’s Pacquiao-Bradley Ruling?

By

I don’t care.  That’s my answer to the WBO’s recent review of Timothy Bradley’s controversial victory over Manny Pacquiao. In case you missed it, the WBO, with the help of well-respected fight judges, came to the conclusion that Manny Pacquiao should have been awarded a unanimous victory over Bradley. Umm, tell us something we don’t […]

Carl Froch Batters Lucian Bute And Makes Me A Believer

By

Time and time again, I have picked against Carl Froch in major title fights. And I’ve only been right two times, including one loss against Mikkel Kessler that could have gone either way.  When he ventured across the pond (Atlantic Ocean) to defend his super middleweight title against former middleweight king Jermain Taylor, I picked […]

If you are not a hoops fan and […]

Same Prediction, Different Outcome: Khan To Knock Out Peterson

By

Been there, done that.  Last December, I predicted that Amir Khan (26-2, 18 KO’s) would defeat Lamont Peterson (30-1, 15 KO’s) via late round stoppage. Because I am sometimes stubborn when it comes to proving myself right and lazy-I really don’t feel like writing an original post on a fight that is a sequel, I’m […]

Bernard Hopkins Vs. Chad Dawson Revisited

By

I am sorry that I haven’t posted over the past several days. I’m back now, but I will admit that I have been taking heavy doses of Linsanity, March Madness and Novakaine and haven’t been as hyped to post on my beloved sweet science. So what can you expect from me during a basketball week […]

On Cinco de Mayo (May 5), Floyd Mayweather and Miguel Cotto face off in a super middleweight superbout. On May 19, Amir Khan tries to regain his junior welterweight belt against Lamont […]
