Packy’s World: Canelo Alvarez Stops Miguel Cotto in 7, Ezzard Charles, Edward G. Robinson, My Pal Al & The Chutzpah Award Goes to Ringside Report

By Packy “Boom Boom” Goldstein

Oy Vay are you going to hear it today… Sadie, Sadie, Sadie. Yes, she’s my lady and the greatest “Bagel Breaker” of all-time, but I still love her to death. The other day, I am office watching an old fight and she says, “Packy, how can you watch that fight again?” Watch that fight again? It was a fight between Rocky Graziano my buddy and Tony Zale that is how! Need I say more?

Alvarez Vs Cotto…. Very simple, Alvarez is way too strong for the once great Cotto. Freddie Roach can’t save Cotto when Alvarez stops him in the 7th round! Bring on “GGG” against Alvarez in what, will be a “Super Fight”.

Ezzard Charles. One word, underrated! He was a fabulous boxer and a nice gentleman to boot I had the honor of meeting him many years ago. RIP

Edward G. Robinson… One of our greatest acting legends of all time. He chewed up the scenery in any film he was in. Here are my top five favorite movies with Robinson.

5. Key Largo
4. Hole In The Head
3. Brother Orchid
2. Little Caesar
1. The Hatchet Man

My Pal Al (“Bad” Brad’s Father)… With Christmas coming next month, a holiday Al always loved and made it very special for Bradley. As I write this, I get emotional because though it has been 17 years since my dear friend passed, there’s not a day that goes by, that I don’t think of him in some capacity and miss him. If you only had one true loyal friend in life like Alvin Berkwitt, than let me tell you, you were ahead of the game!

The Chutzpah Award… The Chutzpah Award goes to the entire team at Ringside Report. My fellow writers and at the helm, Bradley truly bring the best content to the boxing public and they never pull punches. I am proud to be on this team and Sadie told me to say she loves you guys too! And Ian  you now have it twice boychick.
