February 23rd see’s an exciting British Super Middleweight fight – DeGale Vs Eubank, JR. – at the O2 Arena in London.

This fight is headlining ITV’s first Pay-Per-View event of the year, however, the undercard looking to be supporting the show is underwhelming to say the least…

The main event however, could be an entertaining clash of styles and one that has come at two vastly different points in each respective fighters’ careers.

DeGale has been very vocal in calling this contest his “retirement fight”, whilst Eubank has expressed that this is just another fight on his conquest to the top.

Bramson’s Beach & Ballsy Banter: A Marriage Primer

February 14th, 2019

Bad Brad

By Bennett A. Bramson

Given that this column will appear on Valentine’s Day, let me start by sharing that I am an expert on marriage.

Over the course of my more than six and a half decades of life, I have spent almost half of those years married. I think that qualifies me for some level of expertise.

Now, before you applaud my marital acumen, let me also share that I have been married to three different women (not at the same time). This, then either qualifies me as a bona fide marriage expert, a failure, or an idiot. (Don’t answer that!)

Claressa Shields Vs Christina Hammer for the UNDISPUTED WOMEN’S MIDDLEWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

February 13th, 2019

Bad Brad

Undefeated middleweight world champions Claressa Shields and Christina Hammer will meet on Saturday, April 13 live on SHOWTIME to crown the women’s undisputed 160-pound world champion. The blockbuster unification from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. will be the main event of SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION live at 9 p.m. ET/PT and is arguably the most significant women’s boxing event in history.

Shields vs. Hammer features two of the consensus top-10 pound-for-pound fighters in the world squaring off to crown only the second undisputed champion in female boxing history. The fight, originally scheduled for November 2018, was postponed due to a now-resolved medical issue suffered by Hammer.

A Closer Look at Canelo Alvarez Vs Daniel Jacobs Maybe a Little Tainted

By Tyler “The Miracle Man” White

Back in 2017, the day before the Canelo Vs Chavez, JR. fight, I met Daniel Jacobs who said that he was hoping to fight the winner of that fight – unfortunately for him, what became evident after Canelo’s decision win was that Golden Boy Promotions had already struck a deal with “GGG” behind the scenes and not long after Canelo’s hand was raised, the first fight with Golovkin was announced.

Daniel Jacobs was left without the fight that he’d hoped for that night, whilst also being denied the opportunity of a rematch with Golovkin after a close fight with him a couple of months beforehand.

Ringside Report Remembers England’s Golden Goalkeeper Gordon Banks (1937-2019)

February 12th, 2019

Bad Brad

By Tyler “The Miracle Man” White

Growing up as a young boy, I was a goalkeeper back in my footballing days, it was usually the way of the fat kid… Stuck in between the sticks and being used as a means to try and fill up the goal!

Well, all jokes aside, I actually turned out to be quite a good goalkeeper and it wasn’t long before I began exploring the history of goalkeepers and I will always remember stumbling across 1966 World Cup winner and the nations hero – Gordon Banks.

Banks had a career spanning almost 630 games in the football league and he also won 73 caps for his country, as well as being named the FIFA Goalkeeper of the year on six occasions too…

Anthony Joshua Vs Jarrell Miller – Will the Fans be Satisfied?

February 12th, 2019

Bad Brad

By Tyler “The Miracle Man” White

I won’t hide the fact that I really don’t think much of Jarrell Miller, I just don’t see why he’s such a big talking point in the heavyweight division when he’s not really done anything yet…

I mean maybe it’s because he talks a good game and because he weighs so much that Eddie Hearn thinks you could sell a fight between him and “AJ”, but the idea of Joshua Vs Miller being announced soon just totally underwhelms me.

That’s coming from a boxing fan who generally doesn’t complain too much about fights, I’m generally happy with whatever gets offered to us but there’s just something about this fight that I cannot get excited for.

Ringside Report Looks Back at Batman Returns

February 12th, 2019

Bad Brad

By Geoffrey Huchel

This second installment of the initial Warner Bros. Batman film series reunites Burton and star Michael Keaton, who were fresh off the heels of the success of the blockbuster BATMAN (1989). Keaton’s portrayal of the Caped Crusader is the best, in my opinion; despite all the chatter from fans who may disagree and feel a more recent Batman actor was better “suited” for the role.

In BATMAN RETURNS, the Caped Crusader faces the Penguin aka Oswald Cobblepot (Danny DeVito)- a monstrous and deformed individual who is intent on being accepted into society, while in the meantime wants to find his birth parents. Crooked businessman Max Shreck (Christopher Walken) is coerced into helping him become mayor of Gotham. Batman also faces another adversary- Catwoman, aka Selina Kyle (Michelle Pfeiffer).

To paraphrase a wonderful New York Globe editorial from the very early years of the 20th century, “Yes, totteleh, there were trolley cars in Miami! And Coral Gables! And Miami Beach!” Indeed, for some 35 glorious years, streetcars or trolley cars, today returning to cities throughout America under the updated moniker “light rail vehicles” operated in, to and through the then three largest cities in Dade County.

Looking Back at the Tragic Death of Boxer Shaun Cummins

February 12th, 2019

Bad Brad

By Donald “Braveheart” Stewart

The bald facts are that Shaun Cummins, 22-6-1, 14 KO’s was born in Leicester in 1968. He boxed as an amateur at the Belgrave Amateur Boxing Club in his home before turning professional in 1986. In 1992 he fought and won the WBA inter continental super welterweight title, defended it and in 1995, in his last professional fight, he lost a British title fight, having lost a European title fight prior to this.

He was forced to retire, apparently, as he failed a routine brain scan after his last fight.

Not a stunning record, not a massive presence on the boxing scene at the time … but…

Ringside Report Looks Back at Francisco Arreola

February 10th, 2019

Bad Brad

By Daniel Sisneros

Born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, and later moving to Bloomington, Illinois, after a successful amateur boxing career, Francisco Arreola turned pro on 2/13/86 with a decision win over Gabriel Garcia (5-1). After just 6 pro fights, he was called to face world rated Loris Stecca (44-2-1, 31 ko’s) in Italy and answered the call holding this former WBA World Champion to a home town draw. Only 3 months later, Francisco was called back to Italy, this time facing Maurizio Stecca (24-0, 9 ko’s). Arreola dropped a 10 round decision to the man who would go on to become WBO World Featherweight Champion.

It’s been said all through the glorious decades of pugilism that a fighter can smell fear in the ring the same way a shark can smell blood in the water. There is a distinct point here I am trying to elucidate as we all know it takes a tremendous amount of courage to simply ascend the four wooden planks and enter the ring with visions of grandeur.

Onoriode Ehwarieme Calls Out Deontay Wilder & Anthony Joshua – Breaking Boxing News

By Alex “O” Chamberlain

Undefeated Nigerian heavyweight boxer, Onoriode Ehwarieme, 17-0, 16 KO’s has maintained his belief that he is ready to take on the top dogs of the heavyweight division and has always called out unbeaten world champion, Anthony Joshua.

The 6’9 tall heavyweight has declared his availability to take on all comers as well as WBC Heavyweight Champion, Deontay Wilder. He had earlier stated he was the man who sent Joshua packing back to England when the British born fighter with Nigerian roots came down to the West African country in an attempt to represent them at the 2008 Olympic Games.

Gervonta Davis DESTROYS Hugo Ruiz in One Round – Breaking Boxing News

February 10th, 2019

Bad Brad

Baltimore’s Gervonta Davis (21-0, 20 KOs) recorded his eighth career first-round knockout as referee Jack Reiss called off the fight with one second remaining in the first round following a devastating sweeping right hook by Davis connected cleanly and sent Ruiz (39-5, 32 KOs) down to his knees.

Davis, who entered the ring to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”, wasted little time showing why he is one of boxing rising super stars with his impressive fourth win in a world title fight. The 24-year-old Davis is the youngest U.S.-born world titlist in boxing and was headlining for the first time.
