Ruben speaks English; he was born in Billings, Montana, and grew up in Bakersfield, California. They did the fights from the Forum in LA during...
I always liked Chick Hearn and Ruben Castillo. Chick knew zero about boxing and said stupid things and Ruben knows a ton about boxing and is funny...
With Jesus Rivero training him, I think that Oscar wins this fight, as much as I hate to say that.
Taylor would have an advantage in hand speed but he wouldn't get much chance to use it. Napoles is too good at attacking from angles that allow...
I'm pretty familiar with Yori Boy, from the time he was unbeaten and cocky as hell through his last fight in Butte, Montana. (I think that he has...
A good friend of mine, a long time boxing guy described Martinez as a "real good amateur in some circles."
At the start of a fight, I would rate Lopez 3rd. When he got knocked down and then got up, he seemed to punch harder.
Every time I watch Ortiz, I feel sort of stupid. For years I had intended to watch him but, in the old days of buying tapes from ads in the back...
Qawi isn't going to let Roy pick his spots and fight when he wants to; he brings an intelligent but forceful pressure. He has the chin to take any...
Gato was just a better fighter. Miguel Angel never impressed me much. Tough guy. I think that making 135 was really hard on him and that he did it...
The original Gato Gonzalez would beat him.
Man, I'd love to see this fight. Both guys move well, box well. I don't know if anyone else sees it this way but I think that Tapia might be the...
I hadn't watched Esparragoza in years until last week. In the fight I watched, he did well, looked good and won by ko, but I noticed something. He...
Lopez at 130, 135. At 140 Lopez had no legs and Gatti weighed 160. Gatti would do Lopez like he did Gamache.
For much of his career I thought pretty highly of Tito; he took his time, used his range, jabbed well, set up his punches. Apparently, however,...
This would be a fun fight, with Arroyo's dialed in right hand counters against the volume of Ruelas. Ruelas is another guy that I have seen a lot...
I like the way Mitchell fights and I bet that, if you talk to the guys he fought, you would hear a lot of "he looks easy to hit but it is harder...
I have seen a lot of Hernandez, at the Forum seeing him fight and at gyms and he was a class guy. Mitchell, I have only seen the two Lopez fights....
He had a lot of resentment towards Ramirez because of money. It bothered him that Ramirez was getting more money when they were both fighting the...
That was a sad thing. Alex is a good young man with a beautiful family.
Any more, a prospect that is 20-0 with 18 kos in the first 3 rounds doesn't impress me nearly as I am impressed by his manager's ability to put...
