some thoughts on the Friday card (my Inoue column will come later this week)..

Feeble Fury

'Fatal Fury' at Times Square on Friday night came with much fanfare and hoopla. But it has to be said, this event was a critical and commercial failure. Instead of being a fight card that would elevate the sport, and bring more eyeballs to the game, it was one that was catered to the VIP's and...

Some thoughts on Naoya Inoue and the card on Sunday night..

Saving the Best for Last

Remember the 'Tartan Tornado'?

Do you guys remember Josh Taylor? Y'know, the guy who just a couple of years ago was the undisputed junior welterweight champion and considered one of the best boxers in the world pound-for-pound. Yeah, that guy. Well, he is facing Ekow Essuman this Saturday from the SSE Hydro in Glasgow...

The Past and Future

The past and the future were showcased this past weekend at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland. Josh Taylor continued his descent as he suffered his third consecutive defeat at the hands of Ekow Essuman. While Moses Itauma continued his ascension up the heavyweight rankings by blowing out Mike...
