We at www.jabandgrapple.com enjoy the WWE character Santino Marella a great deal. Often his comedic talent and hilarious malaprops overshadow his ample wrestling skills. We’re not thrilled about his feud with Jimmy Kimmel’s Cousin Sal but assured that that side story only has about two more weeks of life.
So when we saw he was […]

This Saturday undefeated WBA bantamweight title holder and Ring Magazine’s #3 ranked 118-pounder Wladimir Sidorenko (21-0-2) puts his title on the line against Ring’s #9 Panamanian Anselmo Moreno (21-1) in Düsseldorf, Germany. The fight will not be covered on American television but that doesn’t mean it isn’t of great interest to www.jabandgrapple.com.
You see, Mister Sidorenko […]

Chavo Guerrero def. CM Punk
Tazz and Mike Adamle bring up CM Punk’s Money in the Bank and wonder why he hasn’t cashed it in yet. We’re wondering the same thing but then realize that it took Edge nearly nine months to cash in the first Money in the Bank briefcase. […]

Last night a message appeared on my Comcast cable box. It read: You still have time to order this Saturday’s exciting welterweight pay-per-view event “Sugar” Shane Mosley vs. Zab “Super” Judah. I wonder what would happen if you did order the May 31 fight that was officially canceled almost three weeks ago because […]

Almost 13 years to the day I moved westward to spend the summer in Berkeley, California. My home that summer was near the corner of McGee and Addison, just south of University Avenue. Had I never left this Saturday, May 31, I could have walked two short blocks, about 1,000 feet, to see perhaps the […]

When the day’s boxing news consists of Jose Canseco and Mike Tyson it only confirms that the sensational matters more than the substantial. At least there is a Wednesday Night Fights on tonight. What’s that you say? There are no fights tonight? They’re being pre-empted by baseball and the NBA playoffs? Ughh.

Last week the deeply in debt and still 6′4″ 245lb. Jose Canseco issued a $5K boxing challenge to the general public. Headline the July 12 Atlantic City card presumably stocked with duking-it-out D-listers and the moolah is yours.

Last weekend a three-day-long street fair took place just outside the www.jabandgrapple.com Harrisburg, Pennsylvania headquarters. We, of course, were eager to engage in the fun but not once did ring sports ever leave our minds.
So when we passed an eight-year-old sporting a Rey Mysterio T-shirt we aligned with a kindred spirit. We both […]

It looks like former heavyweight champ Vitali Klitschko’s bid to become mayor of Kiev, Ukraine has fallen short. Results from Sunday’s elections have been counted from approximately 800 of the city’s 1026 polling stations and incumbent Leonid Chernovetsky holds a commanding 20 percentage point lead over Oleksandr Turchynov - the candidate from Prime Minister […]
