Adrien Broner: Not Interested Yet
There was a time when Adrien Broner was a very exciting figure in the sport but he has become that bad ex you keep letting back into your life. Broner arrived on my radar in 2011 when he was getting featured on HBO and rising up the ranks of the 130 lb. division. His one…

Premier Boxing Champions recently uploaded the September 28, 2019 bout between Errol Spence and Shawn Porter onto their Youtube channel.

One Sided Drubbings Open November 2020
I chronicled 2 events in my previous post outlining November’s schedule. The first event was the FOX PBC card headlined by Luis Ortiz which got some ad time during college football. The other was DAZN’s Florida card headlined by Devin Haney. In the 6 or so fights that got air time I don’t think a…
