Lennox Lewis was crushed by a Rahman right hand after bouncing off the ropes because he was trying to be fancy while saving his legs. I remember Larry Merchant had the line of Lewis "drowning in Ocean's 11" as Lewis took a week off of training and shot a scene in the caper movie while due to...

Yes the Usyk card is deep less the main event which is paper thin. I read on line that Catterall vs Giyasov has been upgraded to a full title fight as Romero is being bumped up to a "Super Champion" but according to the WBA rules only unified champions can become "Super Champions". The WBA is...

Yes he outworked the brash but totally out of his depth Afro-Brit. As expected Hrgovic pounded on the out of his depth Dave Allen who's corner showed mercy on Allen who while not ready to go had no chance for victory less a bizarre injury withdrawal from Hrgovic. Hrgovic has either a deal in...

Yes he could easily make 205 without much work and as you stated he will be spotting 30 plus pounds to a typical contender in the division and only GOAT type fighters have won championship fights with his natural size against elite contenders ie Fedor or Jones. I see a Tank Abbot type career...

This weekend has some comeback cards and two crossroads cards in Europe. The German based card I think is an eliminator with Chukhadzhian vs Donovan. Donovan seems to have had hard luck as he was disqualified against Crocker in their first bout on a very borderline call and he was dropped...

Yes Chemiev had the look of a possible long reigning champion. Once Strickland stuffed his takedown attempts the worm had turned in the fight but the Chechen found a second wind and tried to beat Strickland at his one game and that wasn't going to happen. With such a close fight a rematch...

Ted Turner died today his ownership of the Braves was probably the greatest run in the history of the team which was largely a sad sack team in the 20th century in Boston that moved to Milwaukee and won a championship and then went to Atlanta and did nothing beyond have the historic home run...

Yes the Wardley vs Dubois is the crown jewel bout of the weekend. Jalolov's opponent is a B side guy but has only lost to decent opponents so this should be a win for the Uzbek but he isn't a total stiff. I agree Jalolov has been spinning his wheels for years and fought opponents as tough as...

We had another wingnut carrying a gun around the White House and he tried to fire on Secret Service agents so this could be assassin number 5 of Trump if this is the case. For all of the crazy political acts of the Nixon era that bled into the Ford era I don't recall this amount venom for a...

It played out similar to what I thought it would but the fight was beaten out of Ramirez much quicker than I thought. He similar to Dubois against Usyk (twice) could have beat the count when he took his knee but had the fight beaten out of him mentally. There was talk of super fights with...

There is a big difference between betting on football and shaving points or out right tanking games. I know there have been players that have been suspended for betting and I assume also betting on football. So far I haven't heard of a recent football player being banned for betting on...

Considering the age and athletic ability difference it's probably worse if you grade it on a handicap...

I tried staying up for the Japanese civil war but I couldn't find a working stream about an hour before the main event and decided to go back to bed and watch a pirate copy. The civil war was fought in spurts with Inoue controlling the action when the fight was tactical. Around the 8th round...

Yes not a busy a weekend but it's an eventful one with the two cards. The Japanese civil war is the premiere card and the winner will be a candidate for the top position on the pound for pound list. The Vegas card is promoted as a Mexican civil war but the style of Ramirez isn't to go to war...

Things are now getting clearer and new news stories are painting a picture of a more typical maladjusted assassin who seems to have a Joan of Arc complex but at one point he seemed to be heading in the right direction with his inventing a war simulation video game that in the old days of...

A crazed Mulatto tried to storm the White House Correspondence Dinner and nearly breached security and I assume was going to try and assassinate Trump. I expected this wingnut to be the typical wingnut ie maladjusted but it seems like he has an advanced degree and was the "Employee of the...

You beat me to this I am usually lazy on posting Latino fighters as most are Mestizo, Black or Mulatto but he is a White Argentine puncher who just off of his power is a gem prospect. He is with Hearn so he can get the bouts necessary to make it to an eliminator without jumping through a...

His coach, coached him to be a college workhorse but had no regards to his long term development and future pro potential. It seemed like he raced every relay under the sun at both sprint distances and when you combine that with regular sprinting in the 100, 200 and dabbling in the 400m dash...

Eagles better get proper struts and suspension on their team bus as this dude coupled with their other obese sumos could blow out tires and destroy axels. He could be constantly broken down after a year or two with those dimensions.

I thought the Russo-American prospect had unofficially retired with either personal problems or legal issues due to contractual red tape. I suspect his first opponent back will be a human target. The Moloney brothers card is a card that isn't typically picked up by North American broadcasters...

This week is a slow week in terms of male title fights or fights that have large significance in the top tier of the sport but tonight on ESPN, MVP promotions kicks off their female headliner card with two title fights with Baumgardner vs Shin and Green vs Daniels. I assume both bouts are...

Yes he had an easier time than I thought he would have and he still looked like a punctured bag of milk but it is probably loose skin from blowing up to 400 pounds give or take pint of Guinness stout. Joshua swerved the ring taunts of Fury and boxing insiders are stating the Wilder fight is...

Yes a strange loss in the title fight as he backed off and signaled to the referee to stop the fight. You have to wonder if the New Zealand fighter would have been let out of the corner to see the second round if the corner knew the extent of the injury to Ulberg. Hokit could become the next...

It could be the boxing public is tiring of the Fury act. You can't say 11 pound sterling is the excuse to not show up for the fight in the nose bleeds seats as a round trip on the "tube" is not much less than this. Also nobody had excuses when Fury had his title fight mismatch with Chisora in...
