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.

Nonetheless, since Jodie at […]

In Saturday’s Ricky Hatton-Juan Lazcano undercard match Brooklyn junior welterweight proved that you can’t hit what you can’t see. The problem wasn’t the head speed of his opponent South African Lovemore N’Dou; N’Dou was relatively stationary. No, the problem was Malignaggi’s recently implanted 18-inch-long hair extensions.
In the first round of the IBF junior welterweight title […]

At least that’s what Juan Lazcano, his opponent this Saturday, thinks. In today’s London Sun tabloid he referred to Ricky Hatton as the “Manchester Mexican” and generously opined “He’s got big testicles and you can’t do anything but tip your hat off to him.” Now that’s a compliment!
Do you want proof? How about 57 pints, […]

ESPN.com’s Boxing site posted a terrific article today about the history, collectibility standards, and emotional pull of promotional Fight Posters entitled Fight Posters Still Getting it Done. Jabandgrapple.com immediately wondered a few things:

Yuriorkis Gamboa vs. Darling Jimenez
Before the fight has even started Max Kellerman calls Yuriorkis Gamboa a “Mike Tyson or Jack Dempsey in miniature.” With all the hullabaloo surrounding this guy we half expect him to levitate to the ring, turn water to wine, and transform Primm into Las Vegas. Can the hype be real?
