Bad Brad Doctor Curmudgeon®: Things I Wish I Hadn’t Heard!
August 20th, 2019 Bad Brad
By Diane Batshaw Eisman, M.D. FAAP
Doctor Eisman, is in Family Practice in Aventura, Florida with her partner, Dr. Eugene Eisman, an Internist/cardiologist
I am not supposed to do it. But I did anyway. I just gritted my teeth. It makes my dentist unhappy, but there are times when an old curmudgeon just must grit her teeth…because the alternative can be some very nasty and undignified expletives!
The patient sat before me: “But, doc, I still have this knee pain. And it may even be worse!”
Unsuspecting me: “What did the orthopedist say?”
Answer from patient: “He took lots of X rays over my whole body. He was just so good. And I saw him three times a week. I think I was better for a while. But now it’s worse.”
“Zute” For Thought: Boxing Edition
August 20th, 2019 Bad Brad
By Anthony “Zute” George
In my recent article that focused on the coveted knockout winning streaks, I left out Top Rank prospect Edgar Berlanga, 12-0, 12 KO’s. Edgar not only has a perfect knockout record; all his knockouts have been in the first round. Indeed, he is one to keep an eye on. Edgar was not included in the original piece because at the time I wrote the article, I did not know the result of his last fight. With that said, while Edgar is an impressive prospect, a thudding puncher, he does not seem to be close to headlining fights the way Vergil Ortiz, JR. is. Top Rank Boxing typically brings along fighters a bit slower; they have a gem in Teofimo Lopez, and he just headlined his first card in his last fight. So Berlanga will probably continue to fight on the undercard for a while. But what an incredible talent.
Vinny’s Views: Sergey Kovalev Vs Anthony Yarde: The Stats, The Facts & The RSR Fight Prediction Is In!
August 20th, 2019 Bad Brad
By Vinny “Glory Days” Lucci
Once in a great while promoters somehow get it right and flip the script on the standardized event where one or both combatants are so vocal they reach apoplectic rages of fury in dismissing their opponents yet rarely produce the promised knockout. In such cases oddsmakers when put to the fire to determine a handicapping line have a fail- safe known as “pick-‘em.” This figment of speech allows Vegas to cover their back in swing action bouts as the combatant’s skillsets are so evenly matched in all areas of expertise as well as intangibles that the betting line becomes neutral. This safe pick leaves fans to ponder which for them is the smart pick and safer bet if so inclined.
Emanuel Navarrete Stays Busy By Stopping Francisco De Vaca In Three Rounds — Will He Take Over The Super Bantamweight Division?
August 19th, 2019 Bad Brad
By Rich “Lite It Up” Lopez
One of the most dynamic and exciting fighters took center stage last night at the Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles, California. The fighter I’m referring to is Emanuel Navarrete and he is looking to leave his mark in the super bantamweight division.
Emanuel “El Vaquero” Navarrete, 28-1, 24 KO’s of Mexico City, Mexico, made a name for himself last year when he defeated the unbeaten Isaac Dogboe by unanimous decision for the WBO title. Dogboe, if you recall, was having a great 2018 and was a candidate for fighter of the year. However, Navarrete defeated him at the end of 2018 to derail Dogboe’s run. Nobody knew much of Navarrete at that time, but if you followed his career in Mexico, you knew he was a threat to Dogboe. To prove his victory over Dogboe was no fluke, Navarrete defeated Dogboe in a rematch with an 11th round stoppage.
As Andy Ruiz, JR Vs Anthony Joshua II is Scheduled, Does the Former Champ have the Tools for Success?
August 19th, 2019 Bad Brad 
When Anthony Joshua lost his heavyweight belts to Andy Ruiz Jr. last year it was a result that divided the boxing world. On the one side of the debate, this was an elite level fighter who should never have been losing to the likes of Ruiz, JR. On the other side, many thought Joshua was never at elite level and a committed Ruiz, JR. exposed his weaknesses as a boxer that has the look, but not the heart or skills.
We’ll tackle both of those sides of the debate here, but first it’s worth noting Joshua has broken down the first fight and discussed his impending rematch with Ruiz, JR. (33-1, 22KOs). Interestingly, Joshua (22-1, 21 KOs) puts the loss down to underestimating his opponent. It is a similar situation for fans, who thought Ruiz would be an easy ride.
IBF Orders Richard Commey Vs Teofimo Lopez
August 19th, 2019 Bad Brad 
The International Boxing Federation (IBF) has announced it has ordered a mandatory Lightweight title fight between defending champion Richard Commey against number one contender Teofimo Lopez. A fight is in place after Lopez defeated Japan’s Masayoshi Nakatani last month. The IBF has given Lopez 30 days to make the fight, but there could be some stumbling blocks in the way.
Many want to see a clash between champ Commey and rising star Lopez, with a bout likely to bring big box office. Betting is expected to be big on the fight should it be made, and a good place to start is the bet-tn.com for the latest hot tips. With just 30 days to maintain his place, why is Lopez dragging his feet? Well, he says he has personal and emotional issues to work through before he can move ahead and make a fight with Commey.

Doctor Curmudgeon: ® We Can Only Imagine
August 17th, 2019 Bad Brad
By Diane Batshaw Eisman, M.D. FAAP
Doctor Curmudgeon® whirls back to one hundred years ago. It was in 1919 at the Algonquin Hotel in New York City…that it began.
The famous Algonquin Round Table!
For real historians out there, Doctor Curmudgeon® does not know the exact date on which it began. But it lasted for a decade until 1929.
It has been written that this extraordinary group of writers, wits, curmudgeons, critics and actors first met because of the drama critic, Alexander Wollcott. Writing for the New York Times, he was often vitriolic, but always witty. Considered to be eccentric, his writing could be quite savage.
Ringside Report Takes A Closer Look at Nathan DeCastro
August 17th, 2019 Bad Brad
By Donald “Braveheart” Stewart
If you look up his BoxRec record, it’s 7-0. His last fight was in 2016 and he has not boxed since. His actual professional record is 15-0 and his last fight was in 2019 in a unified world title fight at super middleweight.
Nathan DeCastro, 7-0, 5 KO’s, is a world champion. It’s a lesser belt but his record displays an issue in British boxing that has gone under the radar and does need a little bit of explanation.
Behind the Lens on The “Bad” Brad Berkwitt Show with Retired Boxer Ruben Galvan
August 16th, 2019 Bad Brad
By Debbie “D2” Edwards
What is strength? Is strength the ability to lift a certain amount of weight? Is strength the ability to pull a certain load? Is it some special prowess reserved for just a few?
Boxers desire to possess strength. This strength can be a useful tool for gaining victory over opponents. But there is a type of strength that is more enduring than that of physical strength, and if one possesses this type of strength, it can help to overcome the most formidable of opponents, and even multiple opponents of differing natures.
Ruben Galvan possesses such a strength, and I could not help to realize this by some of the things that were discussed when Brad interviewed him recently. Honestly, I was very eager to put my thoughts on paper, because he is such a strong person, and in hearing of his experiences, I had a burning desire to share them, as I know how beneficial it would be to many people who I know and love dearly.

What’s Happening in Entertainment: 42 Years Later After His Death The King of Rock And Roll Elvis Presley is Still Missed!
August 16th, 2019 Bad Brad
By Geoffrey Huchel
The “King of Rock and Roll” Elvis Aron Presley Died on This Day in 1977.
Do you remember where you were the day Elvis died? I was only 5 months old, but I certainly understand how adored he was by his fans, the lasting impression he made and the influence he had in the music industry.
It’s been 42 years since the world lost the legendary performer, who got his fans “all shook up” with his charisma, good-looks and smooth vocal stylings. Presley was regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century. He recorded 24 studio albums, released 117 singles, 33 of which went to No. 1. His most popular singles include “Can’t Help Falling in Love”, “(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear”, “A Little Less Conversation”, “Are You Lonesome Tonight?”, “It’s Now or Never”, “Hound Dog”, “Jailhouse Rock”, “Heartbreak Hotel”, “Love Me Tender”, ”Blue Suede Shoes”, “All Shook Up”, “Don’t Be Cruel” and “Suspicious Minds”.

The Coveted Perfect Knocking Percentage In Boxing: What Is It Worth?
August 15th, 2019 Bad Brad
By Anthony “Zute” George
When a fighter carries a perfect knockout winning percentage into the championship level, it is an anomaly. More often than not, fighters find themselves going the distance early in their career. Two significant reasons for this are it is much more changeling to consistently stop opponents in 4 and 6 round fights, which is typically what a fighter fights early on, and, there are a lot of good boxers out there who specialize in going the distance. While knockouts sell, rounds mature, as well provide essential learning on the job that not even sparring can provide. As a result of this dynamic, most fighters hear the voices of the judges at least once before their first championship fight.
Doctor Curmudgeon®: These Are the Times When I…
August 15th, 2019 Bad Brad
By Diane Batshaw Eisman, M.D. FAAP
There are times when Doctor Curmudgeon® must take a few long and deep breaths, focus on the patient in front of her, and watch carefully body language and facial expression.
These are the times when she realizes she must educate compassionately and gently… to ease her patient from all the garbage presented by the Internet, TV, radio, Facebook friends, other friends and maybe even, enemies of the patient.
She will sometimes hear:
“My old doctor did nothing for me. She wouldn’t prescribe what I needed. But I hear how wonderful you are!”
