According to a boxing news article on the CNN website, Hatton only won only two of ten rounds. I really wanted Hatton to win the fight both because he is a fellow Brit and because he... Read More
With the recent resurgence in boxing, why aren't there a lot more articles on women's boxing? In proportion, men's boxing still rates far more press. Why is that? Is it because, at some level, men's boxing is more ferocious, more gut-wrenching and primal? I've watched women's boxing, and some of the girls in the sport can really move, great technical boxers, and they can... Read More
Not to many years ago, the sport of boxing was in dismal shape. Boxing no longer had the type of boxers with personality you enjoyed rooting for. Gone was Cassius Clay, Joe Frazier and others.

Boxing news and some memories: most of my memories (of my boxing experiences/training) are a bit dated. To begin, I know an elderly gentleman that used to be quite a boxer. In fact, he gave me my first boxing lessons when he was considerably younger. He used to stand in front of me and do the old hand-slap thing. You know, he'd hold out the palms of his hands (palms up)... Read More
