The last time I checked Horodecki was scheduled to face Ryan Schultz for the IFL's Lightweight title at the 12/29 World Grand Prix Finals. That said, I haven't checked my e-mail in the ...

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 ...
