mares win marred, king kong’s jewel’s crushed
Sunday, August 14th, 2011
What could’ve been remembered as a classic will now be recalled as a controversy. In a battle of bantams to determine a co-king at 118 or a No. 1 to the recognized ruler – Nonito Donaire, of course – Abner Mares won a marred majority decision over Joseph “King Kong” Agbeko, last night at the [...]
agbeko-mares: undercard highlights
Sunday, August 14th, 2011
Why does one of the most anticipated showdowns of the year get a four-bout undercard of “gimme” fights? Got me. The highlight of the undercard was not so much Eric Molina, who took out his carefully chosen foe, but the heart of his opponent, Southern slugger Warren Browning. And here’s a good question: How does [...]

agbeko, mares war tonight
Saturday, August 13th, 2011
Okay, so only a handful of fight fans crammed into the Hard Rock’s Lounge to watch yesterday’s uneventful weigh-in. Tonight’s bantamweight showdown between Joseph “King Kong” Agbeko and Abner Mares should make up for the slow pre-fight “build-up.” Both fighters made attempts at yesterday’s weigh-in. Agbeko tried to get Mares to flinch during their face-off [...]

Wednesday, August 10th, 2011
Go to a Abner Mares and Joseph Agbeko workout, leave with a shot of heavyweight Eric Molina. No, I did get plenty of shots of Mares and Agbeko, but this is the shot I liked best. For more shots, check out the slideshow.

million dollar beibut shumenov
Wednesday, July 27th, 2011
If you’ve had it with boxing’s overgroomed babies, meet undersold Beibut - Beibut Shumenov, that is. With just a dozen fights and a quarter of the light-heavyweight championship tucked into his belt, Shumenov is on a mission to show the sport that years of coddling and a diet of fresh ducks will get you nowhere but [...]
khan-judah ringside impressions
Sunday, July 24th, 2011
Been spitting out crow feathers all morning from picking Zab “Super” Judah to upset Amir “King” Khan at last night’s HBO-televised card at Mandalay Bay. Not quite ready to enlist in Khan’s Army, but there’s little doubt who reigns at 140 pounds. Judah, meanwhile, aged five years with every round and the beltline blow was [...]
