Boxing

Dear Boxing, We’ve been friends off and on for my whole life. I blame my dad. When I was impressionable I watch Alexis Argüello fights with him. I enjoyed the fights, but I also enjoyed watching wrestling. Growing up I moved on to other sports like baseball. When Mike Tyson was destroying people I started paying [...]

Mayweather Is Smarter Than You

in Boxing

Deal with it, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is smarter than you. He has made himself into the villain of the boxing world. Nobody likes him. I don’t like him, but I think he (and/or his team) are way smarter than most people will give them credit for. Let me start by saying Mayweather is a great defensive fighter. [...]

Manny Pacquiao Hooks Daniel Tosh!

by Marc May 19, 2011

I also posted this on Free Picks and Fun, but it’s so awesome I want to make sure it’s shared as many places as can be. I caught this video of Manny Pacquiao punching Daniel Tosh in the face from a few places and had to pass it on in case anyone missed the season [...]

Andre Ward vs. Arthur Abraham

Andre Ward vs. Arthur Abraham is one of the few boxing matches coming up this year that I’m still excited about.  The Super Six aka World Boxing Classic was set to be a phenomenal boxing tournament when it began almost two years ago.  Since the beginning of the tournament there have been a few hiccups [...]

It's YOUR Fault – Another Snooze For Manny Pacquiao

by Marc December 31, 2010

I’ve had my ups and downs with boxing and over the past few years I’ve had my ups.  I hadn’t watched since college, but boxers like Manny Pacquiao helped bring me back to boxing.  Manny is awesome and he’s blown through all the big names in the game ending some of their careers (see Oscar [...]

Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito Preview

by Marc October 5, 2010

Manny Pacquiao has been my favorite boxer for the past few years.  He’s a tough little guy that has been brutally beating bigger and better fighters as his career has progressed.  Like most I’ve been eagerly waiting on Manny to fight Floyd Mayweather, but with all the BS that’s gone with that I just don’t [...]

Post Mortem Mayweather Destroys Mosely

by Marc May 7, 2010

I was straight forward with my feelings about the Shane Mosely v. Floyd Mayweather fight last week.  My haste towards the fight lessened as the fight drew closer.  I can be susceptible to marketing and I almost was here.  At the last minute I decided not to buy the fight because I knew it would [...]

Shane Mosely vs Floyd Mayweather

by Marc April 30, 2010

I’ve been hit and miss with the Shane Mosely vs. Floyd Mayweather fight.  First I wasn’t looking forward to it.  Then I got stoked for it.  Then I lost interest.  My final thoughts on the fight are moderate interest tempered with preparation for an unexciting fight. I can’t remember the last time Floyd Mayweather made [...]

Floyd and Sugar Shane

by Marc April 1, 2010

I wasn’t all that happy when the Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao fight fell apart.  I didn’t think much about Manny and Clottey, but I hoped for the best.  There aren’t a lot of boxing matches left that I can look forward to this year.  Because everything that has transpired this year in boxing (or [...]
