Occasionally at my gym, you’ll see people hitting the bag who have no idea what they’re doing…..bad form, terrible footwork. I legit saw a guy lose to the water bag one day. It was amazing actually….like he kept falling head first into the bag. Incredible stuff,

I see it myself. To each their own. I just say to myself, "it's dope that that person is n the gym."

But yeah, balance is key... The first thing you learn is a proper stance. Literally the first thing you learn.

There is a saying that boxers are built from the floor up. It's absolutely true.

2X Undisputed

Naoya Inoue,staked his claim as the 2023 fighter of the year by halting the rugged Marlon Tapales in 10 rounds. In the process he added the IBF and WBA junior featherweight belts to his collection to become the undisputed champion at 122. Which means that he is now a two-time undisputed...

It's a new year. But before we start looking at 2024, we look back at 2023. The annual activity report for the games elite the past 12 months. If you know anything about myself and this column, that boxers activity(or lack thereof) is something that I dwell on often. Some would say I belabor the...

New Beginning's for Ortiz

It's been awhile seen we've seen Vergil Ortiz, who faces Fredrick Lawson this Saturday night. The last time the highly touted boxer-puncher from Grand Prairie, Texas, was in action came in August of 2022 when he halted Micheal McKinson in nine rounds. Last year he was dormant as his body once...

For 2024, I’d love to see Shakur vs Tank, Canelo vs DB at 168. Whats your early forecast on these fights happening? Give me a percentage.

Crawford vs Tszyu at 154 is another one. We already have two super fights lined up for 2024. Saudi Arabia is getting down and dirty.

Some thoughts on Vergil Ortiz's return which was marred by referee, Tony Weeks..

A Weeks Stoppage and Other Stuff

There isn't much you can take from Vergil Ortiz's return this Saturday night. His bout versus Fredrick Lawson went less than a round, and was prematurely halted by referee, Tony Weeks. Fair or not, he has become the modern day Richard Steele, a referee who is defined by questionable stoppages...

Inoue doesn't duck smoke from anybody.

He's the most technically savvy fighter in all of boxing. I don't think I've seen a more adept counterpuncher in any weight class over the last few decades.

The problem he's going to run into is just the simple fact that there just isn't a lot of great comp at Super Bantam. Other than a rematch for Stephen Fulton, there's not really any major fights for him after Nery. And there's no reason to give Fulton a rematch because he completely outclassed him.

He's gonna have to move up to Feather & Super Feather if he wants more big money fights. I think ultimately his destiny is at Lightweight.

It’s him and bud this era to me

Idk how far he should go up but i did see him say they might fight a couple more at this weight

Probably doesn’t want to just jump up so fast but once he does id like to see him vs figueroa

Honestly don’t know if he can get to lightweight but i think by that time it should be catch weights for big fights if he doesn’t just retire
