The Mind Behind Manny Pacquiao: Freddie Roach

September 2nd, 2010 Bad Brad

By Gina L. Caliboso

In the coach-athlete relationship, it’s always touching to see the athlete undergo a transformation into an even better athlete under the coach’s guidance. As I have watched Pacquiao’s boxing career in the last 5 years skyrocket into boxing fame and prestige, there has been one notable man right in his corner – Freddie Roach. As the skilled and savvy boxing trainer that has gone up against such trainers as Nacho Beristain, Roger Mayweather, and Floyd Mayweather, SR, Roach stands above everyone else because his fighter Pacquiao wisely listens to the man in his corner with a clear objective – to box and win.

Manny Pacquiao: Stand Up and Do What Boxing Needs You to Do

September 1st, 2010 Geno

By “Bad” Brad Berkwitt

So the big fight is set for November 13th between a definite future Hall of Famer in Manny Pacquiao and a proven cheater who pretends he didn’t know that his hand wraps were tampered with in Antonio Margarito.  

So did Margarito’s promoter pay off the Texas Commission or they are just that corrupt without any help of lining their pockets?  That is the question of the year.  One that Fan Boy/Groupie Journalists out there cannot understand because their lips are so attached to Manny’s tush that they are blind to see.

Andrew’s TNA Impact Report: Dixie Carter Vs Ric Flair

September 1st, 2010 Bad Brad

By Andrew Ryan

This week, TNA does a nice job of furthering the angle that Ric Flair and Fortune have caused with multiple factions angling for control of the company. As of late, the shows have had great storytelling and the same goes for this episode. This Impact also features a great tag team match with the Motor City Machine Guns taking on Generation Me. The war between Fortune and EV2 escalates as outsiders begin to get involved in the business of both factions.

Donna Summer Gives the Audience at Wolf Trap for the Performing Arts Much More than “The Last Dance”

August 31st, 2010 Bad Brad

Concert Review by “Bad” Brad Berkwitt

On Sunday August 29th, Valarie and I added concert number two for the weekend events when we returned to Wolf Trap for the Performing Arts (Filene Center) to see Donna Summer perform.

If have you not been to Wolf Trap, you are in for a real treat because the seating is very comfortable and if you are under the Pavilion, there is not a bad seat in the house as we found out for Tony Bennett on Friday as well. Summer came out to a jamming band and three dancers that were dressed in marching band attire. When the curtain she was standing behind was raised, the crowd saw her in an elegant purple dress and the applause was deafening as she sang the lyrics for the opening song.

Antonio Margarito to Manny Pacquiao: “I Can’t Wait to Load My Gloves Again!”

August 31st, 2010 Bad Brad

By Geno McGahee

OK, the above quote is not an actual quote, but more of an implied one. If you believe that he knew nothing of the plaster in the hand wraps, then you will also buy that he would not cheat if there was an opportunity. As we get closer to this sham of a super fight, the question has to be asked: “Will Margarito be allowed to cheat again?” After all, he cannot beat Manny Pacquiao straight up. If he goes in there with his normal punches that had absolutely not effect on Shane Mosley, then they will not dent Pacquiao. I know this and Team Margarito knows this.

RSR Breaking News: Bernard Hopkins Agrees to Fight Jean Pascal

August 31st, 2010 Bad Brad

By Geno McGahee

RSR just received word from an insider at Team Hopkins that “The Executioner” will be fighting Jean Pascal in his next fight. Pascal is fresh off his upset win over previously undefeated Chad Dawson. At this point, the word is that the fight will take place in Quebec, Canada, in the hometown of the champion, Pascal, and that it will be sometime in December. It has also been stated that HBO will be broadcasting the fight free for its subscribers, rather than a PPV, but the network has still not shown the “typical interest” in a Hopkins fight.

RSR will bring you more details as they come. Or if you want some good ole fashioned Groupie/Fan Boy writing you know where to go.

RSR Looks Back at an Underrated All Time Great: Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker

August 31st, 2010 Bad Brad

By Mike “Rubber Warrior” Plunkett

Often RSR’s Managing Editor Geno McGahee and I will engage in a back and forth via email when the mood and moment demand entertaining distraction. The man knows his boxing and frankly I like his no-holds barred style of laying down a good point As is so often the case, our dialogue segued into another topic altogether, it turned into to talk of another smallish southpaw, this time about a fighter that had given a Zen Lesson to the very best of each division he conquered, that being four weight classes over a career that spanned some seventeen years. Our back and forth quickly became a rehash of our feelings and views towards Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker, his extraordinary career as the slickest of the slick, and of course his place in history , as we both saw it, as an all-time great.

Geno’s Boxing Corner: The Manny Pacquiao – Antonio Margarito Sham

August 30th, 2010 Bad Brad

By Geno McGahee

Fan-Boy Journalism & the Making of a Super Fraud

There have been many journalists coming forward in protest of this fraud that is coming our way in November. Manny Pacquiao is in preparation for his high profile showdown with the hands of plaster, Antonio Margarito. Although the journalists are mostly against this fight, and rightfully so, you do find those actually for it or going with the “we can’t stop it, so why fight it” mentality. We may not be able to stop this from happening but if nobody rents it, then we will prevent the next and send a big message to the crooks running this show.

Tony Bennett Wows the Crowd and Receives at Least Ten Standing Ovations at the Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts

August 30th, 2010 Bad Brad

Concert Review by “Bad” Brad Berkwitt
 
“For my money, Tony Bennett is the best singer in the business. He excites me when I watch him. He moves me. He’s the singer who gets across what the composer has in mind, and probably a little more.” – Frank Sinatra
 
This past Friday night for the second time in my 42 years on Planet Earth, I saw the Legend Tony Bennett perform live. The first time was some 17 years ago at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia Maryland.  Well, at the Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts in front of a sold out audience, Valarie and I sat amongst the old, young, black and white that were united by one thing which we all shared and that was our love for Tony Bennett’s music.

Brian’s Boxing Mailbag (James Toney and Ivan Calderon Lose, Comparing Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather, JR to Marvin Hagler vs. Sugar Ray Leonard)

August 30th, 2010 Bad Brad

By Brian Wilbur

You have to love James Toney. The guy is immune to logic and has unwavering confidence combined with world class trash talking skills. Not only did the career boxer believe that he was going to knock out MMA legend Randy Couture, he didn’t even feel the need to train, coming in 20 pounds overweight.

RSR UFC 118 Results: James Toney Taps Out & Marcos Maidana fight Result

August 29th, 2010 Geno

By Geno McGahee

Surprise! Well, not really. James “Lights Out” Toney, former middleweight, super middleweight and cruiserweight champion, was no match in the octagon against former MMA Champion, Randy Couture, tapping out in the very first round. Toney was down after 15 seconds and could do nothing and at 237 pounds, it wasn’t much of a surprise that he was unable to get back to his feet.

Was Tomasz Adamek Exposed: True Heavyweight or Blown Up Cruiserweight?

August 28th, 2010 Bad Brad

By Geno McGahee

Michael Grant, the 6 foot, 8 inch heavyweight, was the opponent to be used as a gage to see how well former Light Heavyweight and Cruiserweight Champion, Tomasz Adamek, 42-1, 27 KO’s, would do against the Klitschko brothers, the holders of the majority of the heavyweight titles. Although Adamek walked away with a victory, I think that the answer to that question is clear. He does not possess the right style or power to worry Wladimir or Vitali Klitschko…at least at this point in time.

Texas Hold’em: Bob Arum, Antonio Margarito & Manny Pacquiao Betting on the Fans’ Stupidity

August 27th, 2010 Bad Brad

By Geno McGahee

Surprise! Texas allowing Antonio “Hands of Plaster” Margarito to fight displays once again why boxing is a frowned upon sport. In November, Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao will now face Margarito in a highly publicized pay per view, and HBO will certainly be doing a 24/7 series on this.

The sale here isn’t the fight. The sale here is the controversy and Bob Arum is certain that the fans will be dumb enough to buy that rather then this mismatch. The promotion will focus on the use of Plaster of Paris rather than avoid it. The blame will certainly be shifted, but they want that element involved in the promotion.

Amir Khan and the Light Welterweight Division

August 27th, 2010 Bad Brad

By Geno McGahee

The Showtime Super Six tournament at 168 was great for boxing and it has gained the attention of the fans, and now that is just what we need for the 140 pound, light welterweight division. It is full of good fighters and much confusion as to which should be sitting atop. There is plenty of marketability and many good fights ready to be made, and the big winners will be the fans with this division as things begin to get sorted out.

MMA Round Up: James Toney to the UFC Saturday Night

August 27th, 2010 Bad Brad

By Scott Heritage

This week in MMA, Tank Abbott made plans for yet another return to the cage, the hype surrounding James Toney and Randy Couture reached fever pitch, Fedor Emelianenko mulled future opponents and the StrikeForce canned oxygen incident was resolved.

Firstly boxer turned MMA fighter James Toney has been stepping up his trash talking ahead of his bout against former two weight UFC champion Randy Couture, and has even piqued the interest of the boxing world once more as well. Whether or not the actual fight turns out to be worth watching is beside the point at this stage as the event is guaranteed to sell well on the novelty value of Toney taking on Couture alone.

The Current State of TNA

August 27th, 2010 Bad Brad

By Andrew Ryan

So, Hogan has been endorsing the ECW guys big time and also acted so distraught at the beat down they took at the hands of Fortune that he was contemplating quitting in a backstage vignette. Something inside me wants to see the epic swerve at Bound for Glory where the ECW guys are in trouble, Hogan comes to help but nWo-style drops the leg on Tommy Dreamer and joins Fortune to become a super faction. But I suppose in 2010 that angle would come off as a cheap attempt at recapturing the past even though I’d still like to see it.

Manny Pacquiao & Bernard Hopkins: Are We Asking the Right Questions?

August 26th, 2010 Bad Brad

By Jeff Stoyanoff

Sports fans love to ask questions and boxing fans are no different. However, often times the questions we are asking are misplaced. I have found myself asking a few questions as a boxing fan only to realize after some contemplation that the questions themselves just may be the problem.

Is Manny Pacquiao using some kind of banned substance?

This certainly seems to be the question of the year, but of course, it is a ridiculous and short sighted question. The problem is not so much with the question, but the subject; Manny Pacquiao is irrelevant and his presence implodes the discussion before it really gets started. I have found that it is impossible to write about this issue without at least taking a cursory pass at the initial question. The answer to the question is…we don’t know. With deepest apologies to the legions of Pacquiao fans out there, very few people know the true answer to the question; that is the problem. It’s not whether he does or not; rather it is why don’t we all know?

WWE Champion Sheamus makes his way to the ring as Monday Night Raw kicks off. Randy Orton went off on Sheamus last week when Sheamus interfered with Orton’s match, costing Orton a victory against Justin Gabriel. Sheamus says American children are spoiled brats, and proceeds to point out various children in the crowd and explain to them that they don’t deserve to watch him wrestle live in the WWE. Sheamus then says Orton is the most spoiled child of them all, and that he doesn’t deserve another title shot. Ever. Again!
