If you get a chance watch the final episode ot the HBO 24/7 Mayweather Ortiz Fight. Fantastic filming of a bizarre Las Vegas fight. Stop ducking Manny!!!!

Amir Khan Dominates Zab Judah KOing Him in the 5th Round

Bruce — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 05:16:48 +0000

What can I say –another disappointing one sided fight for the unification of the Junior Welterweight Division. Zab was never in this much anticipated battle. At least is was HBO not pay per view. Khan is now 7-0 under the tutelage of Freddy Roach. I wonder how Merriweather will duck Amir.

Zbikowski Scores Technical KO For 2nd Career Win

Bruce — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 05:51:53 +0000

Football’s loss may be boxing’s gain. With the NFL in labor limbo, Ravens safety Tommy Zbikowski returned to pro boxing Saturday and produced a first-round technical knockout over less-fit opponent Richard Bryant. The 25-year-old Zbikowski pounded a left hook to the 235-pound Bryant’s belly, and the big man lost his breath and slumped to the canvas. Bryant was so out of wind referee Russell Mora stopped the fight at the 1:45 mark of the first.

Zbikowski was able to strike a $10,000 deal to fight Bryant with bout promoter Top Rank as the Ravens’ restricted free agent awaits signing a tender with the team.

Top Rank Chairman Bob Arum said he projects another Zbikowski event March 26 in Atlantic City, and also in late April in a casino-resort outside Dallas.

Talks for Pacquiao Mayweather Heating Up

Bruce — Tue, 11 May 2010 06:57:56 +0000

Manny Pacquiao may soon turn his attention from campaigning for Congress to negotiating the details on the richest fight in boxing history. Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach, toldThe Associated Presson Monday that discussions could begin as early as Tuesday for a bout against Floyd Mayweather Jr., once results are in from the Philippine elections. The matchup involving boxing’s two most high-profile fighters was discussed at length earlier this year, but negotiations fell apart when the sides could not agree on drug testing protocol.

Mayweather has the high ground on this drug testing issue. Many believe Manny has used blood doping techniques and the Money Man just wants testing to be done closer to the day of the fight to make sure both fighters are clean. There is way too much money involved for this fight not to happen.

Money Wins an Unanimous Decision over Worn Out Sugar Shane Mosley

Bruce — Sun, 02 May 2010 05:31:02 +0000

Floyd Money Mayweather survived a difficult 2nd round and went on to turn the fight in the 3rd and easily defeat a tired Mosley. Sugar Shane knocked down Floyd in the 2nd and just about finished him off. But the wily undefeated Mayweather stormed back and took control of the fight.

Finally Money Mayweather Meets His Match

Bruce — Sat, 01 May 2010 05:44:14 +0000

I have grown tired of watching Floyd Mayweather fight a succession of guys who were half his size. Not tonight–Sugar Shane Mosley is his opponent and there will be no walkover tonight. At least Mosley is his size but “Money ” is still a big favorite.

45 Year Old Bernard Hopkins Destroys 41 Year old Roy Jones JR—-Both are Taken to Hospital

It was ugly, but at least it is over. Roy Jones Jrtook a pretty bad beating from the Executioner, who avenged his loss to RJJ 17 years ago. This was no classic!!!!

Look For “The Executioner” To Punish Roy Jones Jr Tonight in Vegas

Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr will square off tonight in Las Vegas. Both fighters are somewhat past their prime but I have always been impressed by Hopkins. 10 Round TKO for the Executioner.
