I was confusing Barrios and Joshua Franco for a minute. If they fight, I will be wanting the San Antonio fighter to win. That town is a boxing...
Yes, that's him. I didn't know that he hasn't fought since 2018, but I don't actually know anything about him other than his name and that my...
Have any of you seen him fight, or heard anything about him? I know that he fights on Saturday because a friend of mine is training him- actually,...
The biggest thing that almost every single person makes when they start boxing is trying too hard. They tense up and that makes everything much...
I imagine that Frazier would come out fast and take the fight to Louis. Louis, in my opinion, is not a slow starter so much as a guy that likes to...
What is emphasized has changed over the years. It used to be that, once you learned the basics in the gym and acquired the foundation of your...
The first first time I walked into a gym my goal was to be a fighter but, when I saw the guys teaching boxing, it was the most fascinating thing I...
If my memory is correct, Ward fought Antonio Diaz, but it was a good fight.
Up to that point, I was not at all impressed with Gonzalez. I always take an interest in the latest Mexican KO artist and Gonzalez didn't show me...
My good friend trained him for at least a couple fights while he was champion.
This was a pretty good fight at the Forum and, I think the first time that I saw Medina. He was one of those Mexican fighters that turned pro...
Mickey Ward vs Alfonso Sanchez
He was an exciting fighter, always came to fight.
I loved Andy Ganigan.
I wonder how many of you remember him? His career didn't get off to a great start- he was 5-7-3 at one point- but he turned it around. This fight...
Oscar, while being trained by Jesus Rivero, was a work of art in progress. His potential was subsequently wasted by well known trainers that...
A good friend of mine, may he rest in peace, was in charge of bringing in sparring partners for Taylor for this fight. He said that, every day,...
I think that is the most likely result, but it wouldn't surprise me if Roldan won. If he did, it would take me about half a minute to convince...
Izzy Janazzo
The first 4 rounds were nothing special. I haven't seen the rest yet.
He looked good against Carbajal. I started watching his fight vs McAuley the other day but haven't had a chance to finish it.
If they fought later today, it wouldn't surprise me if Chavez won.
One of the things that has always stuck in my mind about the Trinidad v Oscar fight is the first thing that Oscar said in the post fight...
Dempsey1234, he used to post on ESB, managed Pavlik early in his career.
I'm watching Gavilan v Graham... Napoles gets that ass. Gavilan digs two punches and they are both uppercuts. It would be a hard way to make a...
Yes, back last April.
Where would you rate Paul Berlenbach?
It's crazy that there were so many good fighters in that division during that time. I was only 11 in 1975, but I was a rabid boxing enthusiast and...
Cecilio had limitations at the top level. My belief is that he waited a long time and started to split his focus between his education and boxing....
He was a regular at the Forum and you always went to the fights when he was on the bill. Always fun to watch. [MEDIA] The combination that ends...
