By Rocky Pirrottina My name is Rocky Pirrottina, I was a Boxer in the 70's and 80's, I was 3 times Victorian Champion as a Pro, I represented Victoria in the 1970s and won a silver medal in the Australian Games. I am so disappointed and angry at Paul Briggs taking a dive in that contest last night. Boxing has suffered so much bad publicity over the years and this just … [Read more...] about Danny Green vs. Paul Briggs – A Disgrace to Boxing

By Sherman P. Downs Boxing does it to us once again or shall I say, Top Rank Promoter Bob Arum does it to us again. We all know Bob Arum's BS press conference announcing that Floyd Mayweather Jr. didn't answer the deadline for a possible showdown with Manny Pacquiao was fishy. The truth of the matter is, they had no serious negotiations because Floyd Mayweather Jr. … [Read more...] about Does Antonio “Cheater” Margarito deserve a shot at Manny Pacquiao?

By Mark F. Villanueva When I think of the word Paris I’m reminded of the finer things in life. Last night I thought of our old coffee shop back home in a city that looks more like a town to me. Paris in itself is such a fine, fine word that may singlehandedly take away the fuss just thinking of it in a stressful day at the office. It summons words akin to it such as love, … [Read more...] about Margarito versus Pacquiao – Reap What You Sow

By Freddy Fresco We've all been duped by the greatest con man in all of sports, his name is Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. Floyd Mayweather Jr. said he wants to clean up the sport of boxing by requesting Olympic style drug testing  or USADA random testing of Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao. Well, that is all great, but if you really want to clean up the sport of boxing and make … [Read more...] about Floyd Mayweather duped boxing fans, he’ll never fight Manny Pacquiao

By Anthony Campanello Simply put..... Money Mayweather is Sissified! As much as I want to blame Floyd Mayweather I also blame boxing for allowing a loud mouth like him to run around and claim he is the greatest. He is not Ali, not Duran and please don't even think he is in the category of Marciano. Those guys would fight anyone, the only thing you have in common with … [Read more...] about Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather…Money May is Sissified

By Mark F. Villanueva I remember when I was small, in our old home at the province, I would always hope my instructor would somehow miss our unpromising weekly piano sessions, so Dad and I could spend the whole Saturday afternoon play-boxing. I don't remember him loving any other sport but got me enrolled in music lessons 'cause he had wanted me to be well-rounded and kept … [Read more...] about Of Fathers and Sons

By Lamar Sparkman Now that the biggest fight to be made in boxing (Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao) isn’t happening in the near future, it dawned on me what kind of year it has been for the sport. It began with the unfortunate cancellation of a welterweight showdown between WBA welterweight champ Shane Mosley (46-6 39 ko’s) and WBC welterweight champ Andre Berto … [Read more...] about Those who expected a big year for boxing can’t be happy

By Mark F. Villanueva Forget about the forty to fifty million big ones. Forget about HBO pay-per-views and the question as to who the biggest draw in boxing is. Forget about the prize in prizefighter and let's go down deeper into what makes a man: Principle. When the countdown for Floyd Jr. to sign the contract held by Top Rank died down a few days ago, trickling down to … [Read more...] about Floyd Mayweather Jr – A Case of a Bully being Bullied

By Alston H Borrel I must say that I'm ecstatic that Bob Arum failed to persuade Floyd Mayweather to fight Manny Pacquiao under his No-Drug Testing/Reduce Drug Testing Terms and Schedule. However, I’m sure that there are plenty of hungry fighters out there, such as their current target, Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito, who need the money so desperately, that they will be … [Read more...] about I’m ecstatic that Arum failed to persuade Mayweather to fight Pacquiao

By Lamar Sparkman The proposed deadline from Bob Arum for a decision on whether Floyd Mayweather will accept a fight with Manny Pacquiao has passed and we’re no closer to a fight now then we were 7 months ago when talks fell apart.

By Lou "Cinder" Block Timothy "Desert Storm" Bradley was impressive with his overall boxing ability against Luis Carlos Abregu tonight on HBO. Bradley moved up from 140 to 147 to fight Abregu and took Abregu's best punches like they were nothing. Bradley wobbled the taller and bigger Abregu multiple times throughout the fight and outboxed him winning a unanimous decision … [Read more...] about Bradley challenges Manny Pacquiao and I bet Manny won’t accept

By Freddy Fresco It seems that Floyd Mayweather Jr. got a taste of his own medicine, he tried to ruin Manny Pacquiao's image to the public with his steroid allegations and telling everyone that Manny Pacquiao was afraid to fight him because he didn't want to take the blood tests. Now that Manny Pacquiao agreed to everything that was requested before, Floyd Mayweather Jr. … [Read more...] about Floyd Mayweather Jr. officially got exposed at midnight

By Alston H Borrel If other sport disciplines such as the Track and Field, and Cycling can do it, why can't Boxing? If other sports men and women such as Olympic-level athletes can subject themselves to such testing, who is Manny Pacquiao to object? This is not for the benefit of Pacquiao or Mayweather, it's for the benefit of the sport of Boxing. In my estimation, the … [Read more...] about Floyd Mayweather Should Not Fight Manny Pacquiao, Unless…
