Last we checked up on boxing, other than to present you the news of Old Field’s 9th loss, I was sharing with you Unsilent Majority’s great piece on the sports media burying boxing. UM’s premise was simple: Boxing is alive and well, …
Refusing to retire, Evander Old Field continues to soldier on, tarnishing his reputation, and further scrambling his brains, with every fight he accepts. After losing a unanimous decision that wasn’t even close, the codger is now 42-9 in his …
I’ve seen people do lots of stupid things when faced with some sort of a challenge, but I don’t recall the last time the terms of a bet involved Oscar De La Hoya dressing up in a bikini. I guess when you’re promoting some crap fight …
Instead, Mr. De La Hoya follows his heart and passion. Oh yeah, and the green. Despite making a boatload of it in his most recent fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr., which was publicized like no other, Oscar says he’s not hanging it up. That is …
That apparently is one of Bernard Hopkins’ mottos. He’s 42-years-old and proud. In the reality of today’s sports, he’s one year younger than Vinny Testaverde, two years younger than Roger Clemens, almost three years younger …
When the email crept into my inbox, I was startled, yet excited. Why would Mayweather take the bait? He said after beating De La Hoya — and receiving a monstrous pay day — that he was done. Not like I believed it, but I figured it would …
Just over a month ago it was announced that boxer Chico Corrales died in a motorcycle crash. Now it’s coming out that Chico was drunk when he crashed his motorcycle. And not just drunk, but disturbingly over the limit, to the point where he …
That’s how it’s already being billed, by both Dan Rafael of ESPN and Doug Fischer of Maxboxing. My man Super Judah got his ass kicked by Miguel Cotto, suffering a knock down in the 11th, followed by a TKO shortly thereafter. In fact, …
If you are familiar with boxing and Roy Jones Jr., this comes as no surprise. If you are unfamiliar with boxing and Roy Jones Jr., then this is obviously news. Roy Jones Jr. was my favorite boxer during the 90s, along with Prince Naseem Hamed (both …
Boxers go through tireless hours upon hours of training when they’re preparing for a fight. Heck, you’ve seen Rocky, you know what I’m talking about. And sometimes after a long day of training and rugged workouts, you just …
In what was a highly unheralded bout between two excellent fighters, Jermain Taylor defeated Cory Spinks to retain the WBO and WBC middleweight titles. I saw the fight on replay Sunday morning (I spent Saturday night watching the Angels beat the …
Look, we all heard about Pacman Jones making it rain at the strip club in Vegas before a near riot ensued, and several people were seriously wounded. Worst part was Pacman was reportedly asking for his money back. We’ve even heard about the …
Chuck Giampa is an insurance broker and insurance consultant in Nevada, and has been a boxing judge since 1984. In his incredibly accomplished career, Giampa has judged around 2,500 fights, 114 of which have been world title fights. He was one of the …
I heard some truly sad news while at work Monday night, FOX Sports Radio anchor Tomm Looney reported that boxer Chico Corrales had died in a motorcycle accident. Immediately I pictured Chico in the ring, tattoos emblazoned across his body, just …
It’s actually quite the irony because I was having a discussion with a friend over email about the Mayweather Jr./De La Hoya fight, and check out the line he threw out there: “I really think boxing’s missing a personality. Even a …
