The First Few Rows May Get Bloody
This time it's Pac Man who's coming into the ring as a big favorite and he's carrying some additional baggage. Pacquiao began training with Freddie Roach a month late and in a different country than everyone expected. However the biggest questions being raised do not concern his conditioning. Instea...
And So The Great 21st Century Grill Wars Have Begun
As you have probably noted in your personal journal, a little while back we called for someone, anyone, to give Evander Holyfield a grill endorsement. Well, someone was listening. Introducing the Evander Holyfield Real Deal Grill, which hit stores last week, and is meant as a direct competitor to Ge...
Confusing Rope-a-doping With Plain Ol' Doping
BALCO Twin Powers, ACTIVATE! Form of: boxing! Shape of: "Sugar" Shane Mosley! Now we have to wonder if that really was sugar that inspired his nickname....
Russian Topless Dancers Are Awesome At Photoshop
You might remember last week, when those Oscar de la Hoya pictures sprouted up, his publicist denied that they were real, claiming that they were Photoshopped. Everyone in the mainstream press all just printed the denial and dubbed the photos "fakes." This is what they do; it kind of makes them lova...
The Best F—cking Thing About Live Televised Press Conferences
If that company and travel schedule isn't enough to make you a drop a couple F-bombs on live television, I don't know what is....
Oscar De La Hoya Is Feeling Even More Pretty Than Usual
We're not sure what the heck was going through Oscar de la Hoya's mind when he posed for these photos, and, frankly, we probably don't want to. There's another after the jump, and you can find the whole sordid spread right here. Yipes....
Boxing Just Wants To Host Keggers
Boxing's popularity might be on the wane, to say the least (among white people, anyway), but Roy Jones Jr. is not afraid to be innovative. He's searching everywhere for an untapped base of fans, and he's even willing to join a frat to do it....
You Know You've Missed Peter McNeeley
You can make fun of Mike Tyson all you want for his repeated "comeback" attempts — though we think he might have permanently shelved them ... for now ... permanently temporarily — but at least he has people who want to watch him fight, for whatever depraved reason. He also was once a champion. Whith...
Vazquez Punishes Marquez While Diaz Retires Morales
Nobody thought that Israel Vazquez could be ready for his rematch against Rafael Marquez just five months after he took that battering. Freddie Roach, Vazquez's highly regarded trainer in that fight, declined to train him for the rematch if he was going to fight just four months after major surgery...
Somebody Just Give This Guy A Grill Endorsement Already
You knew, somehow, if Evander Holyfield just hung around long enough, waiting for someone to need a big name to highlight some sort of grueling pay-per-view spectacle, someone would give the 44-year-old former heart patient the opportunity to fight for another championship. (Or die trying. Seriously...
The Greatest Camp Of All Time, On Sale
It's not very often you can buy a legitimate piece of history via eBay. But the Muhammad Ali "auction" page that just went up there, whether you could be a serious buyer or not (and trust us, you can't), is worth reading just for the jaw-dropping import of it....
Who Needs Demetrius When You Have Katsidis?!
Damn, I really hope all of those sportswriters penning their "Boxing Is Dead" stories forked over the money last night. They certainly would have gotten their money's worth in addition to a pleasant relevation. No, Demetrius Hopkins' fight was not televised, and I was a bit pissed. That feeling disa...
The Night Time Is The Right Time
It's been confirmed that David Beckham will not start tonight in his debut with the LA Galaxy, however he has indicated that he will suit up and play. The questions remaining are at what point will he enter the game, and how long will his tender pussy ankle allow him to go on. Blah blah blah. The re...
Tommy Morrison Is A Deep Thinker
One would think "boxer" Tommy Morrison's constant claims that AIDS is "an invented virus" making money for the drug industry, and that "heterosexuals can't transmit the virus" would inspire people to stop taking him seriously and no longer listen to him. That hasn't worked, but maybe his new enlight...
"I Love It When You One, Two Punch"
And in other boxing news, Roy Jones Jr. won a 12-round, unanimous decision against previously undefeated Anthony Hanshaw last night. Here's to hoping Roy raps about it....
When Legs Turn to Jello...
I don't think Deebo hit Red that hard. THAT'S MY BIKE, PUNK....
Evander Holyfield, Still Swinging Away
Holyfield's opponent last night, 41-year-old Lou Savarese, is described here as "durable." Normally a fine adjective, but when applied to a boxer, "durable" sort of means "gets punched in the head a lot." And that's what Evander Holyfield, 3 years older than Savarese, did to him last night....
