Bad Brad Ringside Report Reviews The Man In High Castle TV Show (The Scary Common Denominator of a Donald J. Trump World)!
September 14th, 2018 Bad Brad
By Danielle Sobelman
If you are reading this I bet you may or may not know what the television show, The Man in the High Castle is. Well, it is a show about what it would have been like if the allies lost World War II. The show which airs on Amazon Prime streaming service is entering its third season on October 5, 2018.
The show, is loosely based on Philip K. Dick’s novel of the same name. It is a haunting look at the United States now conquered by the Nazis and the Japanese. When I heard the theme song Edelweiss that is sung so hauntingly it enticed me to watch this dystopian nightmare. The Nazis, who control most of the East Coast and the Midwest and the Japanese who control the West Coast shows what our society would be like if we lost the war. Guess what?
Franchon Crews-Dezurn Wins a Title with a Majority Decision Over Maricela Cornejo
September 14th, 2018 Bad Brad
By Joshua “City” Brewer
Another edition of Golden Boy on ESPN took place on September, 13, 2018. The fights were live from the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Maricela Cornejo, 12-3, 5 KO’s, faced off against Franchon Crews-Dezurn, 4-1, 1 KO, for an interim WBC world super middleweight championship.
Both Cornejo and Crews-Dezurn started the first round in an active and aggressive fashion. Crews-Dezurn landed with a hard right hook, the best punch of the fight at that point midway through. As the round wore on, Crews-Dezurn was able to continue to land the right hand in what was a busy round on her part. In the second round Crews-Dezurn tossed Cornejo down during a tie-up and was warned by referee Jay Nady. When the action resumed Crews-Dezurn continued to be the aggressor. Cornejo found some success on the back foot landing punches though at a more pedestrian pace.

Madiyev looked a bit more comfortable early in the second as he used his jab and landed a number of overhand rights along with lead left hooks. For the most part both fighters had their moments for the remainder of the round. In the third the fight played out to a similar script as both had their moments. Madiyev landed a nice uppercut about a minute into the round. Cano continued to press forward though Madiyev continued to fire back. Cano was able to land a solid combination to the body and head midway through, the best combo of the fight.
I Chased Her For 3 Years Until She Caught Me (Henny Youngman & Alan King Story) —Part II
September 14th, 2018 Bad Brad
By Seth H. Bramson
We closed the last column with a note regarding fidelity and honorable behavior in a marriage and that has been the hallmark of mine and Myrna’s, our love being shared with Myrna’s children, Ben and Sara, my beloved brother and his daughter, my niece, Dara, and, of course, my two grandsons, Joshua and Harrison. (Ben and Sara each had a son and each of them has given me my magnificent grandsons, of whom I am so proud).
We decided on November 27th, 1976, as the date and were married by the rabbi from the temple on Park Avenue in the New York Gaslight Club, which I was managing at the time. Until I came back to Miami Beach in February of ’78, Myrna and I saw each other about once a month except during Christmas vacation and in the summer but we knew that, eventually, I would be coming back to Miami Beach, which I did after the late, great Lloyd Apple insisted that I come back to join him in partnership with Eddie, Leonard, Sidney and Mervyn Thal—the famous Thal Brothers of Epicure Market, all now of blessed memory—to operate Lloyd’s of Epicure as the catering division of that famous gourmet market.
Vinny’s Views: Ringside Report Remembers Former WBA Heavyweight Champion Michael “Dynamite” Dokes
September 13th, 2018 Bad Brad
By Vinny “Glory Days” Lucci
…”in the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade and he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame, I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains…” (Lyrics from the Boxer, by Paul Simon)
Some people wear their occupations on their sleeve as badges of honor or hearts of gold indelibly tattooed on their souls proudly exposed for the world to see. Policemen, fireman and teachers are prime examples of professions where the person lives it as a lifestyle 24 hours a day. Boxers are from a curious ilk, some follow this right wing dichotomy while other gents like Daniel Jacobs for instance blend into their surroundings with grace and ease never allowing the scars to show unless interviewed, electing to enjoy the passions of family life and its virtues instead.

Ringside Report Looks Back at Fermin Chirino
September 12th, 2018 Bad Brad
By Daniel Sisneros
Venezuela’s Fermin Chirino made his professional debut on June 4, 1981 with a 4 round draw against Pedro Zapata. He then ran off 4 straight wins against lower level local opposition, but he was building his record and was unbeaten at 4-0-1 after 5 bouts.
He faced fellow unbeaten Venezuelan Armando Rodriguez (4-0, 4 ko) and lost a decision in his first real “test”. But he “passed” that test with a solid performance and began to earn respect from locals.
He scored a 3rd round stoppage over Edgar Rodriguez, and then got a shot at the Venezuelan Middleweight Title against Basante Blanco (7-1, 5 ko). Chirino was stopped in round 8.

I Chased Her for Three Years Until She Caught Me – And Speedway to Sunshine Was Published in 1984
September 12th, 2018 Bad Brad
By Seth H. Bramson
As we noted in my last column, I met the truly great love of my life in 1973, while I was managing Lloyd’s of the Maison Grande, unquestionably and absolutely the most magnificent restaurant this town, even with all the nouveau dreck and Americanized continental phony Italian places opening, has ever seen. From there the late, great Lloyd Apple and I took over Bernard’s in the Carriage House and then I went to Decorator’s Row to become manager of the so-beloved Piccadilly Hearth. From there I went to New York to become GM of the famous New York Gaslight Club. All of that time, of course, the collecting continued unabated as did the chasing of a stunningly beautiful woman.
Ringside Report Remembers Legendary Movie Actor & Our “Brother In Boxing” Burt Reynolds
September 12th, 2018 Bad Brad
By Donald “Braveheart” Stewart
Anyone who would pass up a role opposite his girlfriend in a movie because his wife would probably poison him, whose father waited until his 95th year to tell him he was proud of him, his son and who once turned down the advances of Greta Garbo has a tale to tell… and boy what a tale that was…
We are talking about a man who was out of sorts with his time – the whole time.
The Author Of The New York Times Op-ed Is Not a Hero!
September 11th, 2018 Bad Brad

By Danielle Sobelman
When I heard about the New York Times op-ed piece by the Trump Administration, I was shocked that a high-level administration official believes as most Americans believe, that President Donald J. Trump is unfit to lead this nation. After all, I thought that most of his administration was drinking the Trump Kool-Aid and would follow him to the ends of the earth. However, last week when excerpts of Bob Woodard’s new book, “FEAR” were released, it painted a picture of a White House in chaos and a Senior White House staff going to all lengths of an in-house coup to prevent irreconcilable damage to the country. To many, these Senior White House staff members seem like great American heroes, but they are not.
A Ringside Experience at the Birmingham Arena – Shock, Surprise & War…
September 11th, 2018 Bad Brad
By Tyler “The Miracle Man” White
After the recent news that I was all-clear of “The Big C”, I was invited back by Sky Sports to sit at ringside for the Amir Khan Vs Samuel Vargas show.
As a big fan of Sky Sports and Matchroom Promotions, I was excited to be back ringside once again with an excellent view of the fights and the goings on of the event!
Despite the initially sparse number of fans in the crowd, as the evening went on and the online coverage started to air, the stadium began to fill up and the bouts began to intensify.
Ghana’s New Star Isaac Dogboe on the Rise
September 11th, 2018 Bad Brad
By Rich “Lite It Up” Lopez
On the recent ESPN Top Rank card, the focus was on the headliner between Raymundo Beltran Vs Jose Pedraza. Both fighters produced a good action fight. My focus was also on the co-feature bout. It featured Ghana’s new boxing star Isaac Dogboe. So far, there is nothing about Dogboe to dislike. He is a short compact fighter with a lot of heart and possesses good punching power.

By Joshua “City” Brewer
As it has been widely reported, Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire, 38-5, 24 KO’s, will face off against Northern Ireland’s Ryan Burnett, 19-0, 9 KO’s as a part of the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS) 118 pound tournament. Burnett’s WBA (super) world bantamweight title will be up for grabs. I’ll spare you the same details on how Donaire is returning to 118 pounds for the first time in years and how he’s in the tail end of his career taking on a young—hungry fighter.
The question I ask is whether or not Donaire is a first ballot hall of famer? Let’s dig a bit deeper….

Born in New York, on the 23rd December 1909 – to Jewish parents – Barney Ross was born under the name of “Dov-Ber Rasofsky”.

DeCarlo Perez and Antowyan Aikens lived up to the pre-fight hype of a knockdown- dragout war that eventually saw Perez eek out an eight-round unanimous decision on Saturday night at The Bourbon Room inside the Showboat Hotel in Atlantic City.
The bout between Atlantic City rivals, which gave Perez the New Jersey State Super Middleweight title, headlined an terrific 10-bout card promoted by Rising Star Promotions.
The fight saw Perez push the action early as he buckled Aikens into the ropes in the 2nd round. Not only did Aikens stem the tide, but came back emphatically, as he landed a perfect right that sent Perez to the canvas.
Josh Taylor Vs Ryan Martin Set for November 3rd in Scotland – Boxing News

By Joshua “City” Brewer
By virtue of the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS) quarter final seeding, the seeds have been planted for what may be the most intriguing matchup of the 140 pound tournament.

Ringside Report Puts the Spotlight On Nicole Kidman
September 10th, 2018 Bad Brad
By Geoffrey Huchel
As a kid in the 1980s, I remember watching an Australian movie called BMX BANDITS (1983). It was released during the huge BMX bike racing craze. It’s a lesser known film, but I’ve watched it more times than I can count, and ultimately it has become one of my favorites. I didn’t know it at first, but this movie starred a very curly haired Nicole Kidman; who would go on to become one of Hollywood’s biggest and most respected stars. Although she was a relative unknown when she played Judy in BANDITS, you knew there was something special about her. Kidman’s range is supreme and the characters she portrays are very diverse. No two are the same. She is regarded as one of the most acclaimed and versatile actresses working today.
Ringside Report Looks Back at Former WBC Junior Middleweight Champion Maurice Hope
September 10th, 2018 Bad Brad
By Donald “Braveheart” Stewart
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has a rich history of immigration. For us Scots we delight at the ice cream, the haggis pakora and the sweet and sour sounds of our cities when we go wandering round markets and shops with the air of the East, the sweeping aura of the Chinese medicine shop or the voices of Eastern Europe filling our ears.
As an island and country, the UK, has benefited enormously from foreign fields with the greatest asset of our times, the National Health Service, built on the sweat and the backs of those whose culture is described as foreign but whose contribution consistently gets recognized.
Of course, there are many who do not see their contribution in the same way but they are a minority of ignorant chanters at the sides of a society who needed the people who came to our shores. They came on the Windrush, when thrown out of Uganda by Idi Amin and after our Empire began to become quite rightly a more Commonwealth of nations.
How the United States Is On The Fast Track To Another Civil War
September 10th, 2018 Bad Brad
By Danielle Sobelman
With the election of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States, politics in this country has gone from one extreme to another. One end of the spectrum is the Republican party becoming more of a Nationalistic party, whereas the Democratic party is becoming more progressive and more socialistic. As we know, sociologists believe that both political ideologies have ended up utter failures. Has democracy in this country been transformed as we know it?
