Delvin Rodriguez Most Robbed Boxer of Year on Friday Night Fights

2011-07-16T14:26:00.000-07:00

I've been away from the boxing gyms for rather a long time but the sport is still dear to my heart. Last night, on FNF, Delvin Rodriguez accomplished what few imagined. He beat Pawel Wolak in a ten-rounder that qualifies for Fight of the Year. One problem--the decision was political. One judge had Delvin Rodriguez the clear winner, while two others worked together on the same score card to

Rabbi Foreman Loses Title to Mourning Miguel Cotto

2010-06-06T06:03:00.000-07:00

I like both these fighters, and I have a bitter feeling about Cotto's loss to Margarito. I fear Cotto took an unnecessary beating from Margarito who may have stored plaster in his gloves. But I didn't expect Foreman to last so long against Miguel Cotto, who was mourning the death of his father, but has tremendous heart and coping skills. According to the New York Times (not

Floyd Mayweather Fighting Manny Pacquaio in November?

That's what Larry Merchant is saying anyway, and he says he has some sources for expressing that opinion. According to Merchant, Pacquiao is accepting Mayweather's terms for steroid and similar testing 14 days before a scheduled fight. This needs to happen because PacMan didn't look so hot fighting a sluggish Joshua Clottey recently. Clottey seemed as if were worried about

You've got to like this muscular 19 year old with red hair. And lest I be accused of "profiling," I've met lots of Latinos with red hair and other features which seem striking when the ring announcer says "in this corner" is Saul Alvarez, etc.... But Saul Alvarez' red hair would be striking even in Ireland. It's bright red, topping off a lobster-pink and very solid frame featuring strong legs

Mayweather Passes Truth Test Against Mosely

I taped it but can't watch it again--too painful. But I don't regret spending the $65 bucks to watch Floyd Mayweather Jr. survive a near KO in the 2nd round and then deliver a masterful, courageous performance which quashed Shane Mosely's dream of an undisputed championship in the world of boxing. Mosely's great, but he didn't have anything but a puncher's chance against the counter-punching

If Clottey had brought some fight instead of some survival skills, I might feel differently. As a result, my allegiance went immediately from neutral to Mayweather. Mayweather's always been criticized

Escalante emerged the winner but this was one of those fights when there were two winners. Miguel “Mickey” Roman advanced like General Patton the whole

Yuri Foreman Fights Miguel Cotto and a Bar Mitzvah

2010-02-21T12:37:00.000-08:00

Does Yuri Foreman have a chance against Miguel Cotto? Sure, he does but it depends on how much Cotto has left from his earlier battles. I would guess that a guy like Cotto has plenty in reserve to take on the undefeated 28-0 Foreman. The reason the fight is attractive is because Foreman is another in a long line of Jewish fighters who gained notoriety. Foreman’s quick, tireless, and

This should be interesting as the 18-1 son of Reading trainer Marshall Kauffman sustained his first setback against Tony Grano last year. That explains the "1." Kauffman has some flash, has good size, moves wel, and exhibits sharp punching. The issue with comeback fights, however, is how well a guy can

Doghouse boxing interviewed Shane Mosely about Pacman and Floyd Jr. and asked him which of the two was the better boxer. "I am," said Mosely.He may have a point there. Mosely had 2 losses to Vernon Forrest, 2 to Winky Wright, and 1 to Miguel Cotto. I can't remember the one with Cotto but it's likely Mosely was lured into a punching match at close range.

His triumphs in the boxing ring raised him to godly heights, and his resilience in bouncing back from disappointments guided his path to future conquest. I'm angry with Antonio Margarito for putting a question mark or shadow over Cotto's career. We'll never know whether

Punching back against Pacquiao was probably a little bit like punching a puff of smoke. In this case, the smoke punched back.

In the end, there was no doubt as to the outcome as Johnson had a bit to much for the game Judah. Judah fought the wrong fight much of the time and was unable to use his height or to keep Johnson away. Johnson is either age 40 or pushing it but age hasn't

James Moore Lacing Up

2009-02-23T08:16:00.000-08:00

Moore seems to have faded from the boxing scene and looked like a shadow of his former self during his last outing. Is he overmatched, or was it his recent marriage that affected him? I guess that's cruel...and misognyny, too...SAT Word!.... But I always liked the guy and hope he can make a comeback.

Arce Vs. Darchinyan: The Sparks Are Flying Feb 7

2009-02-06T04:00:00.000-08:00

Darchinyan's got the punch in this 115 pound battle but he's very unorthodox in his approach. Unless he gets to Arce early with power, he's going to make mistakes, and Arce will capitalize on them. Arce's nickname is "El Travieso"--that describes him to a "T." Travieso means "trouble." Jorge bristles with trouble, an enfant terrible of the boxing ring, and is inclined to enter the ring riding

I expect to see "El Travieso" live up to his nickname, which means "troublemaker," according to my Mexican-American-Italian bro-in-law. My colleague, Jake Emen, writer of this piece, thinks the Vic will win by TKO, mostly because Vic beat Christian Mijares who beat Jorge Arce. I don't believe in

Friday Night Fights had Brian Kenney with Shane Mosely last night and, of course, everyone wanted to know about the business of the gloves. Mosely rightly absolved the boxer and said that only the trainers should be held accountable. He told Kenney that Margarito had hand problems which required a "special" wrap. Just how special, we don't know, but the California Athletic Commission is

Half-Bad Chad Rematch with Tarver Ducks Real Champ Glen Johnson

2009-01-01T07:58:00.000-08:00

Boycott HBO’s Tarver – Dawson III have to weigh in on this one. Last night I watched a ShoTime replay of Glen Johnson’s matchup with “Bad” Chad Dawson in April of 2008. The victory went to Dawson but so did the beating he got at the hands of a 39 year old fighter who appeared to be at the top of his game. Dawson’s a good fighter alright, but he was severely hammered by the veteran Johnson,

No pictures available since I was the fight announcer, but then again, I was close to the action as Danny Sandoz at 115 lbs swarmed over opponent Joes Martinez of Harrisburg Boxing in the last event. Danny has always been a talented boxer and a student of the game, but it’s sometimes hard for him to get sparring with people at that weight class. The result is that Danny has mostly had to spar
