From “The World’s Most Powerful Hate Group: Why You Will End Up Watching Mayweather-Guerrero Tonight” … “… There’s no question that Floyd Mayweather has never been as vulnerable as he is tonight. He has been in a period of sustained decline for years punctuated by last year’s trip to the pokey, a stopover that has…
Smokin’ Joe Frazier’s youngest son Derek gave me a call yesterday to let me know that, having spent some time working himself into fightin’ shape (with the help of trainers including former Philadelphia Eagle Tre Thomas), he’ll enter the ring for his first amateur bout in Delran, NJ this weekend. The fight will take place…
After a day on the WIP bus trip to the Phillies game in Washington, I passed out before spending $64.95 to get the Floyd Mayweather/Miguel Cotto fight last week. Good thing it was on HBO last night, though. Otherwise, I never would’ve known that the PPV cameras focused so extensively on Miss Jackson’s breastuses. “That…

It’s at an advanced stage. It doesn’t look good for the former heavyweight champion of the world. Les said he’s getting…
B Hop held a little chat-and-showoff session with/for members of the Philly press at Joe Hand’s Gym, right off 3rd and Spring Garden streets. He’ll be heading north to Montreal soon for his May 21 rematch with Jean Pascal. First fight was a draw. Most — myself included — thought Hopkins won after a dicey…
Full disclosure: I’ve been a Mayweather guy since I met him prior to his dismantling of the late Arturo Gatti in A.C. a few years back. Fuller disclosure: I think Shane Mosley’s going to give him a tougher fight than he seems to think (from the HBO 24/7 series and pub-tour comments, including those I…
Wasn’t able to stay up to watch the Bernard Hopkins/Roy Jones Jr. fight post-Duke-disappointment last night, but if the text updates from my friend Tiddie indicate anything, it’s this: Fight was boring, and Jones fouled a lot, which left the Executioner to grandstand/embellish things a tad.
