Art of Boxing and Bash Boxing put on another great show in their 8th installment of the 'War at Woodland Hills' series at the Warner Center Marriott in Woodland Hills, CA last night. The evening started out with two crowd-pleasing first round TKOs, with Carlos Rodriguez improving his record to 3-0 against Ricardo Malfavon and Aslanbek Kozaev besting James Ventry to stay undefeated at 21-0.

The third fight and the night's best was a 4-round battle of two southpaws between Denver native, Shawn Nichol and Carson, CA fighter, Raymond Chacon.

Manny Pacquiao is making headlines once again, but this time it is not for an incredible knockout or defeat in the ring, or even for a piece of legislature passed on behalf of the Sarangani Province in the Philippines where Pacquiao is a Congressman. The headlines this time are of a different sort for the storied champion of boxing, as they are heatedly in aversion to the Pacman's recent statements against gay marriage.

They say that boxing is dying. They’ve been saying that for a long time now, but with the emergence of even grittier sports such as MMA, packaged and marketed perhaps better than the sweet science, some boxing fans are starting to agree. Not me.

Sugar Shane Mosley talks candidly about his release from Golden Boy and his upcoming fight with Canelo Alvarez...monkey video to follow!!!

I got a chance to catch up with boxing judge, Robert Hoyle after Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez III. Hoyle was the only judge to score it a draw and I wanted to hear his take on the fight as well as what it's like to be a boxing judge...

I got to talk to Freddie Roach after his return to the Wild Card gym from the Olympic trials in Alabama. Amongst other things, I got his predictions on Agbeko vs Mares, Hopkins vs Dawson, Mayweather vs Ortiz and even asked him about the possibility of Khan vs Pacquiao.

Freddie also tells me what he's the most proud of as a trainer. I was a little disappointed with the answer (just kidding.)

Poor Roger - I constantly ask him stupid questions. You might not be able to see it because of the lighting, but he was laughing at this one - just didn't want to say anything I guess...a rare, speechless moment.

Ann is surprisingly soft-spoken, so it's a little hard to hear, but she is 100% BAD-ASS and was kind enough to answer a couple of questions for me after James Kirkland defeated Alexis Hloros by a monstrous TKO2 victory.

Erislandy Lara has just defeated Paul Williams in what was to be Williams' comeback fight after a devastating knockout loss at the hands of Sergio Martinez. Lara masterfully timed his left hand against the taller south-paw and landed them seemingly at will throughout the 12-round bout.

The HBO commentators were pontificating on whether Paul Williams should retire after this embarrassing loss throughout the later rounds and the unofficial scorekeeper... Читать дальше...
