By Michael Bailey What makes boxing such a popular sport? Yes too many blows to the head can cause brain damage and that is a scientific fact, but boxing still has millions of fans around the world.

I find it very peculiar how anybody couldn't … [Read more...] about WHY BOXING IS A SPORTS FANS DREAM

By Reni M. Valenzuela The issue is no longer between Pacquiao and Mayweather or between Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions. It has come to a point that the “unbeaten” boxer has to contend with the entire boxing world excluding puppets. … [Read more...] about NO TO ANY MAYWEATHER OPPONENT BUT MANNY PACQUIAO

By Reni M. Valenzuela Toughness of mind and skill in facing toughest oppositions are equal to gallantry. It is the virtue most supreme and compatible to boxing as a combat sport. Thus beyond ring performances, gallantry should be topmost as criteria in choosing the Fighter (not “Fighter”) of the Year award. … [Read more...] about WHY FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. CANNOT BE THE FIGHTER OF THE YEAR

By Dewayne Bungo Adrien "The Problem" Broner lost for the first time to Marcos Maidana, but despite that defeat, which I consider a learning experience, he would give many fighters at 140-147 pounds a problem including his big brother Floyd Mayweather's rival Manny Pacquiao. … [Read more...] about Despite loss, Adrien Broner would give Manny Pacquiao a problem

By Alon Calinao Dy I remember when Juan Manuel Marquez won by knockout against Manny Pacquiao, many boxing fans believed it was a form of luck that saved the Mexican warrior.

By Albert Benson I honestly feel bad for Manny Pacquiao, the man was humiliated via one punch KO by a guy he fought four times, he is in deep tax trouble with the unpaid taxes he owes the Philippines government, and now his hyped up return to the boxing ring against Brandon Rios was a huge flop in terms of Pay-Per-View buys the early reports estimate anywhere between … [Read more...] about Pacquiao’s horrible PPV buy rate shows he is not on Money Mayweather’s level

By Reni M. Valenzuela Great boxers have common trademarks. Most distinct among them is their ability to make a fellow “great” boxer look like amateurish.

By Erwin Lastimosa I remember the Manny Pacquiao of old, the one who would kiss his rosary and do the sign of the cross after his prefight corner prayer. That Manny Pacquiao was a ferocious competitor, relentless in the ring, he was a human with flaws and not a goody two shoes born again preacher/politician trying to create an image. The Pacman of today is a guy who seems to … [Read more...] about A tired and compassionate Manny Pacquiao lets Brandon Rios survive

By Chuy Marco Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao will no longer be a headliner on Pay-Per-View after he loses to Brandon "Bam Bam" Rios in Macao, China. This fight will be another cherry pick gone wrong. The Pacman will be retired on Saturday night and just another boxing casualty. … [Read more...] about Pacquiao will never be on PPV again after Rios retires him on Saturday

By Reni M. Valenzuela Irony, why does “Bam Bam” Rios seem to be the boxer who’s coming off a one-punch solid knockout loss to a Mexican juggler a year ago? Why not instead the cool and composed Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao who fell face-down in his last fight and against whom Rios would have to battle it out to grab the WBO Welterweight title and try winning recognition as the … [Read more...] about THE IRONIC BRANDON RIOS: FLOYD “AWAITS” PACMAN TO WIN
