FIGHTS TO WATCH AND DUMP: WHAT DEFINES BOXING TODAY
By Reni M. Valenzuela Top Rank and HBO are closely knitted now than ever. And they are “potent” allies determined to take boxing for a ride. By aggravating the situation and deepening the rift between two warring factions in the sport, how superficial of anybody to think that the fans and boxing community would be held back from rejecting Top Rank “in-house fights.” … [Read more...] about FIGHTS TO WATCH AND DUMP: WHAT DEFINES BOXING TODAY
HBO’S CHILDISH MOVE “VERSUS” GOLDEN BOY TO “KO” BOXING
By Reni M. Valenzuela Lest they forget, boxing is first a sport (not business) before all else. However I look at it, HBO’s sudden dumping of Golden Boy Promotions is a big, reckless disservice to the sport, with HBO’s management allowing personal and/or professional rift among “cats and dogs” in the business side of boxing to get in the way of sanity. HBO acted naively, … [Read more...] about HBO’S CHILDISH MOVE “VERSUS” GOLDEN BOY TO “KO” BOXING
Why Marquez evades Pacquiao Part V like a plague
By Boy Blue P. Filomeno Did Pacquiao play opossum in Part IV? Why Juan Manuel Marquez expresses disinterest in a fifth encounter with arch rival Manny Pacquiao?

Even his trainer Nacho Beristain and hall of famer Marco Antonio Barrera expressed great surprise of his knockout victory in Part IV. … [Read more...] about Why Marquez evades Pacquiao Part V like a plague

Chris Eubank on Don King, PPV, HBO, Herol Graham, James Toney, Roy Jones, Steve Collins, and more!
On boxing being a dying sport: If boxing is in a demise, it started with Don King and pay-per-view, 10 years, 15 years ago. Young boxers to me would be scared to hook up with such a man as it seems most of the men he and his like had dealings with end up broke. He's no longer a major player in the business, but maybe many young men put themselves into other physical sports … [Read more...] about Chris Eubank on Don King, PPV, HBO, Herol Graham, James Toney, Roy Jones, Steve Collins, and more!
Chris Eubank on Boxing Politics
I believe it needs a governing body, like FIFA for soccer. But more importantly, in all honesty, if the game is suffering it's suffering from a lack of ostensible controversy and intensity. Like Tyson, Nigel and myself and Naseem used to do - remember how you just HAD to watch our fights, even your friends and acquaintances who weren't boxing followers. … [Read more...] about Chris Eubank on Boxing Politics

Manny Pacquiao Will Be A Stepping Stone For Up And Coming Boxers
By Lester Salvador Since Manny Pacquiao was exposed and beaten by Timothy Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez, he is no longer considered a top pound for pound boxer. The real truth is he was never a pound for pound boxer in the first place, just a hype job and media creation. When a boxer gets put on a pedestal by the media the way Pacquiao was, the masses buy into the hype, … [Read more...] about Manny Pacquiao Will Be A Stepping Stone For Up And Coming Boxers
Mayweather hasn’t fought Pacquiao because he doesn’t want to hurt him
By Chevy Jackson I genuinely believe that the main reason Floyd Mayweather Jr. never made the fight with Manny Pacquiao is that he didn't want to hurt him. All of the drug testing and money issues were just a smoke screen. … [Read more...] about Mayweather hasn’t fought Pacquiao because he doesn’t want to hurt him
MAYWEATHER IS RIPE AND READY TO LOSE AND IT’S GOOD FOR HIM AND BOXING
By Reni M. Valenzuela Floyd Mayweather Jr. could be worse than a boxer who fought a hundred times and lost a hundred times.

Adrien Broner is the next boxing superstar after Mayweather and Pacquiao
By Albert Benson Tonight on HBO, Adrien "The Problem" Broner showed why he a problem for anyone faces in the ring, he systematically broke down and punished tough former light welterweight champion Gavin Rees and dropped him with a powerful right uppercut in the fourth round, followed up in fifth round with a powerful left hook to the body that dropped Rees, and right after … [Read more...] about Adrien Broner is the next boxing superstar after Mayweather and Pacquiao

ARUM IS NO DICTATOR BUT WHAT IF BOXING IS WITHOUT A PROMOTER LIKE HIM
By Reni M. Valenzuela Sponge Bob is square and just a cartoon character, but the man is obviously possessed, sufficiently enough and perfectly shaped to absorb an entire Pacific ocean. Top Rank honcho Bob Arum has achieved so much but against boxing as a game of competition. Arum’s immense contributions are to himself and his own interests. … [Read more...] about ARUM IS NO DICTATOR BUT WHAT IF BOXING IS WITHOUT A PROMOTER LIKE HIM
