It's a busy weekend at the Jarry Park headquarters. Not only did we have the IFL season opener and Bute-Joppy last night, UFC 82 and Marquez-Vazquez III tonight, we're also putting the finishing touches on our brand-spankin' new website.
Remember those promises about a newer website? Dreams do come true my ...

***UPDATE: Looks like I need to update my top 5 MMA draws. Couture and Liddell can draw their 500,000+ buys but Kimbo, man, he draws CBS.
I would like to take this moment to retract any and all negative comments I have made over the last few weeks with regards to ...

Boy does time fly. The last time boxing fans saw Dmitriy Salita (27-0, 15 KO) compete in the ring was almost one full year ago. March 22, 2007, to be exact.
So, where has he been hiding? Well, we covered that drama when we chatted with him last month but now ...

Yesterday I touched on Joe Louis' infamous pro wrestling career. So infamous I never even heard about it. So, I did some research and found a spectacular video which appears to be one of Louis' first after deciding to try his hand at the world of wrasslin'.

No disrespect to Las Vegas but there really isn't anything like a big fight at Madison Square Garden. Throw two heavyweight title holders in the mix and things get really interesting. So, while I have no doubt that Wladimir Klitschko will defeat Sultan Ibragimov tomorrow night at the Mecca, I'm ...

The big winners this weekend (other than Pretty Boy Floyd of course) were Kimbo Slice and Kelly Pavlik. Both men cemented the fact that they are legitimate stars in their sports. So, the question remains, where do they go from here?
It seems as though there are three options being presented ...

If you're a frequent visitor to The Park you know that we like to do things a little differently around here. You know, ask interesting questions, invite unique guests...that kind of thing.
So, with that in my mind, I present a special, top secret discussion with an MGM Grand employee. Las ...

1. Kelly Pavlik is no flash in the pan
2. Miami sure does love them some Kimbo. What an amazing crowd
3. Even in defeat, that was Jermain Taylor's best fight as a pro
4. Tank Abbott must be a Ric Flair fan
5. Other than the fact that there were no knock downs, ...

How the heck am I supposed to watch all the great stuff on television tonight?!?! Obviously, there's Pavlik-Taylor II which Large did a tremendous job (as always) of previewing yesterday. Then, over on Showtime, there's EliteXC: Street Certified. We haven't talked about this one yet but it's actually a pretty ...

One of the most anticipated boxing rematches of the last few years is just over 24 hours away and I, for one, can't wait. Of course, it's Pavlik vs. Taylor II. The last time we saw these gents they were engaging in arguably the 2007 fight of the year which ...
