Christy Brunner : Victor in Battle of Lancaster

This girl Christy has a winning personality and a fighting spirit. She didn't let a previous setback stop her from making Catherine Beck wish she were somewhere else this night. Christy was always strong and athletic, but looks hard to beat as she uses her boxing skills to outclass and outpunch an opponent who showed great heart.

Ivan Matute -- Fast and Furious

I met Ivan in two different gyms. He's currently at Brian Pedone's where I had a chance to work with him just a little. He's coming along very well under Brian's excellent tutelage and positive influence. Ivan came to the PA gyms with some experience in the sport from when he lived in New York. Check him out...he's nice...

Josh Rivera--Young, Well-Schooled, and Determined

I don't know if the young Mr. Rivera is 14 or whether he's turned 15, but he's shown steady improvement, a great work ethic, natural athletic talent, and fierce determination. The opponent was no shrinking violet and brought a lot of fight to this match.

Pacquiao KOs Hatton--Who Knew?

I did, and so did a lot of other people. I didn't pay for the fight and didn't see it yet but Hatton is unidirectional. He could probably beat a guy who just stood there and didn't punch back. Punching back against Pacquiao was probably a little bit like punching a puff of smoke. In this case, the smoke punched back. If you've seen Manny Pacquiao fight, you've seen he is capable of volcanic explosion.

If you looked at the Hatton-Mayweather fight, you would see Hatton lunging toward Mayweather in a corner. In my memory, I keep thinking I see Mayweather grinning. Then boom, it's over!

Freddie Roach must have seen Mayweather grinning before he knocked Hatton out. In the pre-fight hoopla, I saw Freddie Roach grinning, too. And this time I wasn't day-dreaming.

I'm glad Ricky Hatton made 7 or 8 million from the fight. Not bad for what Mayweather calls a good "class-B fighter."
