When Muhammad Ali and Antonio Inoki met on June 25, 1976 in Tokyo, Japan, to finally settle the wrestler vs. boxer debate they, well, didn't settle anything. As everyone knows, that match turned out to be a total farce. Not surprisingly, it wasn't the first time a promoter booked a ...

Yesterday was certainly a great day for MMA and boxing fans. Some get all emotional about which sport is better but not me. I just like it when one event airs in the afternoon and the other in the evening. And based on my expectations prior to each event, I ...

The boxing world is buzzing over this showdown between two legends of the ring (not really).
Fans are willing to pay $5,000 to seat ringside for this bout (I would love to ...

Another week, another visit by our Sweet Scientist, Large of No Mas Online AND now The Sporting News Blog (congrats on the new gig my man). Some of the topics we discuss include:

* The untimely death of South Korean boxer ...

Prior to World War II, Jewish boxers were the norm. Believe it or not, some of the sport's brightest stars were Jews. Fighters like Abe Attell, Reuven Goldstein and Maxie Rosenbloom were as good as any and while they did share the same religion, back then, they were known as ...

I'm a sucker for trash-talking. I don't care who the fighters involved are if they are able to throw around some good insults I will probably watch the fight. So you can imagine my excitement for tomorrow night's IBF Light Welterweight title bout between champion Paulie Malignaggi and Herman Ngoudjo ...

I can't break down Mayweather-Hatton any better than Larz did on No Mas Online (found here and here) so I won't even try.
Let me just say these four things, though:
1) That was one of the greatest KOs of all-time.
2) Mark Cuban's face while carrying that belt was one of the ...

While we're on the subject of celebrities walking to the ring with boxers I thought I would mention my all-time favorite moment: Matisyahu rapping as he accompanies Dmitriy Salita to the ring on 08/25/05 before challenging Shawn Gallegos for the NABA Light Welterweight title. It gives me chills every time.

I just received this press release and while I usually don't post these this one was just too good to ignore. I didn't think Mayweather could top the Cinco De Mayo outfit he wore to the ring before the De La Hoya fight but come Saturday night he most certainly ...

Yeah, yeah I know what you're thinking. Ricky Hatton has no chance against Floyd Mayweather this Saturday night. Pretty Boy Floyd is faster, stronger and more experienced than his Mancurian counterpart. But you know what? Who cares.
The build for this fight has been fantastic (thanks in large part to HBO's ...

I touched on this last week but the reason I love the current edition of HBO's 24/7 so much is because the differences between Ricky Hatton and Floyd Mayweather are so vast its almost comical. Sure, Oscar De La Hoya is no Pretty Boy Floyd but there's no denying that ...

It's been a while since I called the great city of Montreal my home but that doesn't mean I still don't hold a soft spot in my heart for all things Quebec (just look at the name of this blog for further proof).
So, needless to say, when I was offered ...
