By Don Donatello Don't be fooled by the wily, old fox, boxing promoter that is Bob Arum. Oscar De La Hoya calls Bob Arum, “Slippery Bob.” Bob was once Oscar's promoter before they had a bitter separation, and a contentious relationship and promotional rivals currently. Arum was also Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s promoter. They too parted in similar fashion. … [Read more...] about ARUM READY TO SERVE PACQUIAO VS. MARQUEZ IV AND V TO THE GULLIBLE PUBLIC

By Reg Garland If Ricky Hatton decides to come back to boxing, I think he can avenge his loss to Manny Pacquiao. Hatton has been clean and sober for a while, he seems to have gotten himself together and is on the right path in life. When Hatton fought Pacquiao, he wasn't focused, he was drugged up, overconfident and didn't get the proper training camp. … [Read more...] about Ricky Hatton can avenge his loss to Manny Pacquiao

By Alston H. Borrel As a boxing fan I would like to see a fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr., however, I would much rather see Pacquiao accept the rematch with Timothy Bradley to clear up that issue. … [Read more...] about IS MANNY PACQUIAO AFRAID OF TIMOTHY BRADLEY?

By Reni M. Valenzuela If a question can be a disgrace because it is offensive and contemptuous, the greater disgrace would be a condition where there is an apparent compelling need to ask the question when the answers stare everyone in the face. … [Read more...] about GREATER DISGRACE: THE PACQUIAO-BRADLEY “REMATCH”

By Albert Benson The brightest young star in boxing is a "Problem" his name is Adrien "The Problem" Broner and he gives every one of his opponents a problem in the ring -- he systematically breaks them down and knocks them out. … [Read more...] about Adrien Broner Would Give Manny Pacquiao A “Problem” At Any Weight

By Lou Block I don't blame Amir Khan if he chooses to leave Freddie Roach, I've seen what Roach does as a trainer and I am not impressed because the man teaches no defense at all. … [Read more...] about Khan Should Leave Roach If He Wants To Become Better Than Pacquiao

By Mark F. Villanueva Watching regular fighters closely helps you understand a bit more of the rigors of the sport of boxing. Maybe it’s their lack of natural talent and speed that makes you see it all happen and learn from as if in a film strip played in slow motion. … [Read more...] about Amir Khan Fight

By Ray Ender One of my coworkers asked me what I thought about the David Haye vs. Dereck Chisora fight coming up on July 14th, I told them the fight will be boring and not live up to the hype. Don't get me wrong, I will still watch the heavyweight bout, but the July 14th match-up that will give us fireworks is the Amir Khan vs. Danny Garcia light welterweight championship … [Read more...] about Haye vs. Chisora Will Not Live Up To The Hype, Khan vs. Garcia Will Deliver Action

By Mark F. Villanueva Jeffrey Mathebula started the first round of the biggest fight in his career like it was the twelfth. His balance was conspicuously off and because of it with his towering height that made him stoop and depressing footwork that was as flat as the canvas it appeared as if he couldn't stand his ground steadily when he positioned himself to box.

By Jamal Dicky I grew up around a lot of volatile women, and I know how easy they can switch on the devil and turn on the angel when they see fit. This is why I am very suspicious of the situation that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is in, I don't believe he is a woman beater, and I don't believe his ex-girlfriend was completely innocent and non-confrontational. … [Read more...] about Is Floyd Mayweather Jr. Really A Woman Beater?

He has made a career of beating up on smaller fighters, but since moving up to 122 pounds he struggled against a class Puerto Rican fighter in Wilfredo Vasquez Jr. and even made excuses that his hand was bloody that is why he couldn't take him out. The truth is, Donaire doesn't have the skills or power to take … [Read more...] about Nonito Donaire will lose to Jeffrey Mathebula like Pacquiao lost to Bradley
