As ESPN readies to turn thirty-one later this week, the boxing industry should feel free to join in any celebrations the world wide leader plans on having. Since Chris Berman, Bob Ley, & co. emerged on television screens across the nation in September ’79, ESPN has televised boxing on a regular basis — both professional and amateur bouts. The relationship between ESPN and boxing is a crucial one that must be maintained and through the use of the internet, hopefully expanded.

Q & A with Michael Domingo
August 30, 2010 By 1 Comment
It’s one of the great wonders of Boxing how a guy can go from Journeyman to contender and in some cases even winning a World title. It happened with Glen Johnson he had multiple loses on his ledger, albeit several of them dubious before rose to become champion. It happened to Orlando Salido & Cristobal Cruz to battle tested Mexican warriors with double digit loses. They say you can learn more from a loss than you can a win that’s most definitely the case with Filipino fighter Michael Domingo he’s had plenty of practice going 40-14-2(18). He’s on a nice 9 fight winning streak which includes snapping Miguel Roman’s 21 fight unbeaten run, a stoppage over one time American Olympian Jose Navarro & last time he demolished former title challenger Luis Melendez in two. Domingo turns 31 in late August but believes he’s in his prime and above all wants to land the so far elusive World title fight. The message is clear don’t sleep on Michael Domingo if you do it might just be you who’s left sleeping.

Calderón and Segura make weight for “Unification” in Puerto Rico
August 27, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Iván “Iron Boy” Calderón faces tomorrow one of the toughest challenges of his career when he faces hard punching Mexican, Giovanni “The Aztec Warrior” Segura. Calderón (34-0-1, 6KO’s) has faced the likes of Hugo Cázares, Roberto Leyva, Nelson Dieppa and Rodel Mayol, all fighters with heavy hands, but Segura (24-1, 20KO’s) may turn out to be a little more complicated than the above mentioned fighters. Not only is Segura a “thinking man’s” brawler but Calderón has showed signs of slipping more frequently as the years have gone by.

Q & A with Giovanni Segura
August 27, 2010 By Leave a Comment
A couple of weeks back I was made a promise by Giovani Segura’s manager Ricky Mota he agreed to my request to an interview with Segura ahead of his WBA & WBO Unification fight with Ivan Calderon. Now it’s not unheard for your requests not to come to fruition in this game. However a man of his word Ricky Mota contacted me from Puerto Rico to fulfill his part of the bargain. Now Segura 28, aims to complete his part of the deal he wanted the biggest and best fight out there and his team dually delivered Calderon. The fight takes place in Calderon’s homeland of Puerto Rico this Saturday where he is a National Treasure and very difficult to beat. A fact not lost on Segura or his team who know that they are public enemy number one at the moment and will most likely have to KO there Hall of fame bound opponent. Going into the fight Segura sports an impressive 24-1-1(20) ledger with 77% KO ratio
