magdaleno bros. fever hits vegas
Saturday, May 7th, 2011
There may be no one to compare with Manny Pacquiao, but on the local Las Vegas scene, no one has been able to rally a local crowd like the Magdalenos. Last night at the Mandalay Bay, Diego Magdaleno (19-0, 6 KOs) won by third round TKO over Gilberto Sanchez Leon (31-9-2, 11 KOs). On the undercard, [...]

pacman, mosley arrive in vegas
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011
I’m pretty sure there were four “Sugar” Shane Mosley fans in the horde of half a thousand fans who packed the main lobby at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Actually, I’m positive there were four, because I counted ‘em. The rest? Manic Manny Pacquiao fans. Call me spoiled, but since Ricardo Mayorga gave the [...]

Writer/photographer Chris Cozzone has inked a two-volume book deal with McFarland Press on the history of boxing in New Mexico. In between covering the big fights and local fight scenes in both New Mexico and Las Vegas, Cozzone has spent the last six years in heavy research. He inherited the project in 2005 from the [...]
cozzone shot featured in espn mag
Thursday, March 17th, 2011
ESPN Magazine recently featured one of my shots as a rare (for boxing) two-page spread. The shot, taken last month at The Palms in Las Vegas, features former Notre Dame football star-turn-boxer Mike Lee, taking his opponent out with a shot that sent his foe’s mouthpiece flying across the ring. Mouthpiece shots are pretty rare. [...]

cotto-mayorga postfight coverage
Sunday, March 13th, 2011
If there’s ever been a stare colder than the one given Ricardo Mayorga at the many pre-fight events this last week, it was the one given Antonio Margarito by Miguel Cotto at last night’s post-fight press conference. After making Mayorga eat his words in a near-distance fight, last night at the MGM Grand, forcing the [...]

It’s a rarity, finding yourself at a roundtable discussion with opposing trainers who not only agree on most points, essentially, but are not unrealistic about their fighter’s chance of victory.

mayorga, cotto presser in vegas
Wednesday, March 9th, 2011
Notes from today’s final presser and preceding media Q&A forum with Ricardo Mayorga and Miguel Cotto: – Yesterday, Mayorga told the media that Cotto was “half-gay.” Today, he called him a full-fledged “maricon.” What will Cotto be tomorrow? – It’s been a while since the media’s been subjected to one of Don King’s podium-a-thons. He [...]
cotto, mayorga arrive (re-arrive) in vegas
Wednesday, March 9th, 2011
Tell me that I have to shoot Miguel Cotto out of the ring and I might wince. Shoot a guy who hardly ever smiles or drops his deadpan expression? Who wears his sunglasses indoors, keeps his headphones on and spends half the time texting someone on his Blackberry? No thanks. Today, at least, I was [...]

After trading theatrics following a lengthy staredown (below), challenger Brandon “Whack Whack” Rios proceeded to show WBA Lightweight Champ Miguel Costa how he pleasures himself – not once, but twice – bringing a sudden stillness to the cheering crowd at yesterday’s weigh-in held at the Palms in Las Vegas.
