  • Manny Pacquiao: Remembering the Legend

    I like to reflect on the great fighters who get to the end of their careers on here and have done it for several other fighters. I waited to post this after the dust settled from the T-Mobile Arena a Saturday ago when Manny Pacquiao lost to Yordenis Ugas for the WBA Welterweight Title. Much…

  • Has the Welterweight Division Been Blown Up?

    Yordenis Ugas scored the biggest victory of his career this past Saturday night in defeating the legend Manny Pacquiao.  This victory came at a price for boxing fans who lost out on the chance to see Errol Spence Jr ascend in his climb to the top of the division and get a major torch passing…

  • Boxing Scorecard Autopsy: Reviewing the Charlo Rounds vs Castano…Robbery or Not?

    Boxing is an odd sport in comparison to others given its subjective nature of scoring. In the NFL you score a touchdown it is always six points, in basketball a three pointer is a three pointer, etc you get the point. In boxing the rounds are scored by who wins the round and that is…

Montero does a great job picking apart the critiques…

  • Opinion: Wilder vs Fury III

    I have been slow to comment on this scenario given the fast pace of news on the subject. As quickly as it appeared that heavyweights Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua were all set to have their blockbuster unification fight, the fight was killed. Deontay Wilder saw his arbitration case succeed in gaining him the ability…

  • Tekxyz Review

    I got the Tekxyz Reflex Ball as a Christmas gift and have been fooling around with it between training sessions. Vasily Lomachenko brought attention to this method of hand eye coordination training along with a host of other interesting methods. I posted 2 videos using the ball and wanted to post my thoughts. Pros: It…

  • Bridgerweight! More Boxing Bullshit!

    Although this story is not new, I have been hesitant to shed any light on boxing’s newest division, Bridgerweight. I did not want to give the move any legitimacy but four days ago ESPN put up an article announcing the inaugural title fight to start this division. Former title challenger Bryant Jennings and heavyweight contender…

  • Opinion: Lomachenko Frozen out at 135?

    The lightweight division continues to gain high praise amongst boxing analysts due to its young talent but one veteran star stubbornly clings to the limelight. I and other boxing writers have discussed the lightweight division as the next “Fab Four” type of scenario that we saw in eighties with Marvin Hagler, Tommy Hearns, Roberto Duran…
