Albuquerque’s Steve Hindi was one of the top amateur boxers to ever come out of New Mexico. He’s reputed to have won 9 different amateur championships in the amateur ranks.
April 5, 1991 saw Hindi turn professional with a 4 round decision victory over fellow New Mexican Chris Crespin. He then traveled to Las Vegas, NV to score a big win over unbeaten prospect Sammy Miller (4-0, 2 ko) via split decision at the Aladdin Hotel & Casino.
Next for Steve, he appeared on the undercard of an ESPN televised event featuring Michael Carbajal & Louie Espinoza in the main events. Hindi scored a 2nd round tko over Mexico’s Alfredo Torres.

1972 Olympic bronze medalist Jesse Valdez, who was an outstanding amateur boxer, never turned pro because he chose security for his family rather than take a risk and parlay his amateur pedigree into a prize fighting career.
Valdez first went to the local Boys’ Club when he was 11. The youngest of seven children in a low-income family, headed by his single mother, in which the kids all slept in one bedroom, girls in a bed, boys on the floor, sharing space with cockroaches.

A casual 10-minute walk along Mulberry Street in New York City’s Little Italy takes visitors past some of the most historic sites in U.S. Mob history.
I recently was in Manhattan and went down to Mulberry Street in the heart of Little Italy to shoot video of the places I’ve mentioned either directly or indirectly in stories for The Mob Museum in Las Vegas.
Below is a brief description of each of the Mafia locations in Little Italy, with a link to a more complete story on The Mob Museum site and a link to video of each place on my YouTube channel.

Doctor Curmudgeon® is not in a good mood today.
There was no low fat organic milk hidden in the depths of her home refrigerator for her cereal (It probably smelled, looked curdled and tried to crawl out of its container, so somebody must have tossed it.)
Since her hair was beginning to resemble a long, neglected yard, filled with scraggly weeds, she had recently braved the odors of a salon and went for a haircut. She came out with hair shorter than her husband’s, not a great look for her.

There is enough negative boxing news coming across my desk to warrant a gossip column rather than a calendar schedule of dates in which to circle. The entertaining traveling circus of cross fire agendas and misdirected publicity has pulled up stakes and headed for a town near you. If you’re a hard core fan, fear not; some intriguing matches are already signed and sealed to placate the remainder of year and jettison the bad press going into 2019.

After winning the WBA “regular” super-middleweight title from Tyron Zeuge, in an impressive fashion earlier this year, the 31 year old Fielding plans to make his first defense before Christmas.
The opponent lined up for this defense however, has not yet been named, despite a number of British fighters being mentioned.

Over the past several columns we have noted that, following the collaboration with our good friend, Professor Gregg Turner, in writing and captioning “The Plant System of Railroads, Steamships and Hotels,” I had what I smilingly refer to as “a late in life burst of creativity.” By now I’m certain (well, at least thinking) that you are all breathlessly waiting to find out what that means. And because I want to allay your anxiety, I’m going to tell you!

Bellew is making his first return to cruiserweight after a two fight stint at heavyweight where he defeated, and ultimately retired (for a second time), David Haye. Bellew will have his hands full as Usyk is seemingly poised to become the best cruiserweight the division has ever seen. The fight will go down at Manchester Arena on November 10, 2018.

The 1985 movie CLUE, based on the popular board game, is in my personal opinion, an underrated gem. In a decade full of popular movies, this one seemed to slip through the cracks. It definitely didn’t get the recognition it deserves. Unfortunately, at the time of its release, the reviews were not well-received; but aside from all that, this movie has achieved cult classic status. I love this movie, so much. Even 33 years after its release I feel it deserves another look.
CLUE is set in 1950’s New England. The plot revolves around six strangers who are invited to a dinner party at the secluded mansion, known as Hill House. Upon their arrival, each is greeted by the butler, Wadsworth, and the maid, Yvette. Once all the guests arrived Wadsworth gives them each a pseudonym, with none knowing or being addressed by their real names.

The World Boxing Super Series (WBSS) reaches its conclusion on Friday with the super-middleweight final between George Groves and Callum Smith taking place in Saudi Arabia.
In addition to the Muhammad Ali Trophy, Groves’ WBA title is also on the line in a fight that promises to be a classic. Many betting sites predict that there is little to choose between the two fighters, with Groves priced at 4/5 and Smith on offer at 5/4 to win the contest.
Groves humbled Chris Eubank, JR. in his semi-final victory last February, comprehensively beating his rival despite suffering a dislocated shoulder in the closing rounds.
