A former world heavyweight title holder and alleged drugs cheat, Lucas Browne, 29-2, 25 KO’s, is a curious mixture of an enigma wrapped in a puzzle. I cannot get past the fact that I like the man. Occasionally I watch his online videos as he shows off his training regime, he talks of the politics of boxing and he tries to get himself some fights and really enjoy his personality.
He is, his own man and often his own PR. And yet there are obvious flaws.

82 years ago on June 22nd, newspapers across the United States were undoubtedly heavy with several layers of ink with the news that a small victory over fascism took place in the Bronx. Long before the American Civil Rights movement or at least the idea of equal rights for everyone took shape to become the cornerstone which always seems under construction to this very day, there was one night in the Summer of 1938 when many indeed came together. Joseph Louis Barrow, more commonly known as Joe Louis, avenged his lone professional defeat at the time by way of a crushing first round knockout triumph over Max Schmeling. Two years earlier, Schmeling pulled off a shock stoppage win over the highly favored heavyweight champion in the twelfth round, which would have been seen as well as accepted a bit differently had he not taken the championship belt back to Germany so that he could receive approval from Adolf Hitler.

Joe Frazier, born Joseph William Frazier on January 12th, 1944, was the undisputed Heavyweight Champion from February 1970 until January 1973, when he met a strong, young slugger named George Foreman. Joe was the youngest of twelve children, he grew up in Beaufort, South Carolina. His parents, Rubin and Dolly Frazier, were sharecroppers and Joe was no stranger to hard work. From a young age he had aspirations of becoming a professional boxer. He would hang makeshift heavy bags made from stuffing burlap bags with leaves and moss. He would imagine that he was going to be the next Joe Louis. Frazier left school at an early age and moved to New York City with an older brother at age fifteen. He had hoped to find work, but jobs were scarce.

During Father’s Day weekend, the iTunes Store had highlighted movies either at a very low cost on sale or free. These movies were significant to point out the Black Lives Matter movement. Without hesitation, I added Selma, Glory, Ali and Malcolm X to my watch list. With recent happenings in America, I was inspired to regain some context of events and people throughout American History as it pertained to the African American journey here in America.
I started with Glory on Saturday morning. I was honestly quite shocked I had never seen the film before considering my taste in movies, love for history and the amazing cast. This is not a movie review, so just to briefly summarize the film, it is about a the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment for the Union Army during the Civil War. The unique part of this story is that the soldiers that volunteered to make up this group were African American.

Many people who watch boxing events like to place a bet on the action. How we bet on boxing has considerably changed over the past few years, and it has changed for the better.
Gone are the days when you had to travel to find a local betting office to place bets, now we have the convenience of mobile betting apps to get a bet on.
The overall service has also changed, we now have more ways than ever before to place bets, plus the ability to bet during a fight, based on what we are seeing happen to the two boxers.
This has all improved the service, and with boxing continuing to grow as both a sport in general and as a betting sport, we could see a lot more improvement in the future.

What is Liberalism you ask, and why do I think it is bullshit?
Liberalism and progressivism are not the same thing. Liberalism believes we are all the same and given the same goals and education, can fundamentally achieve the same ends. i.e.: good jobs, success in education, the same familial affiliations and goals in life. It discounts cultural norms, differences in class issues and religious values. It also doesn’t understand diminishment by racial class, or disability. It is also a capitalist focused political philosophy.
Liberalism is basically inept at actual social change. It can provide money over money over money –directed at what the controlling power thinks is “reasonable.” It believes in people wanting the common good of one another. It does not take into account the mere vicious greed that capitalism imbues in its many billionaires and corporations.

During the Covid-19 shutdown, boxing fans still watched boxing. Thanks to YouTube, there is a treasure trove of fights to enjoy. Personally, I have a nice size boxing collection that I always go to, as I have explained in previous writings. Top Rank Boxing and the PBC aired many of their old fights on the networks they work with as well. Top Rank Boxing and ESPN is where I would like to focus because I feel they squandered an excellent opportunity to engage insatiable boxing fans in a unique way during these hard times.

The only thing that you can do without fear of facing any casualties’ is playing online casinos usa games. We all know hockey as the most dangerous sport in the world. But have you ever come to think that boxing can also fall in that category? Well, we reckon it is amongst those dangerous games.
As much as gamblers can win real money through betting on boxing. The facts will always remain that it is one of those chancy games. And because of that most boxers have suffered massive injuries.

There is only one way to coast in life. Downhill. Over the past few months alone, we have seen a tremendous rise in momentum from citizens in this country sick of the way things are going and voicing their opinions. Metaphorically speaking, we can address this as the “Blue Wave,” and it is looking to come crashing down on November 3rd. Staying along that metaphor, in order for the results to come to fruition for the Blue Wave, several things need to happen including the size of that wave gaining so much momentum that it becomes as destructive as a wrecking ball the size of a tsunami.
June 23rd, 2020 Bad Brad After their arm is raised aloft in victory, it’s natural for a boxer to experience a range of emotions. One might be relief that the months and months of preparation and sacrifice have been worth it, while for others it might be hunger, as attention often quickly turns to the next challenge.
For many, however, the overriding emotion is ecstasy and a desire to celebrate their achievements – especially if they’ve earned a belt or secured a career-defining victory over a close rival.
In this article, we will look at some of the ways that boxers in recent times have celebrated their biggest career wins.

Welterweight Harold Weston, JR., 26-9-5, 7 KO’s, was once quoted when only a 16 year old kid as saying, “I want to be champion of the world.” Who doesn’t when they don a pair of gloves? But who when they are only 9 years old ends up in the same gym as Emile Griffith? At the New York City Parks Department Gym, there was the welterweight champion of the world and whilst he was watching the rest of the gym fawn over him, Weston, JR. had an epiphany, as he later described, “That’s when I knew that I wanted to be a world champion.”
But this young man, at that time already having had 7 years experience of the sweet science was not only very serious about it – he had the opportunity of making his own dream come true. Trained from that fledgling age of only 9 when he started to box by his father, he ended his career having managed to fight for not one but two world titles and took on a Hitman and come very close to greatness.

At Purdue University, Professor Robert Young had once made the enlightening suggestion that history doesn’t repeat itself. The suggestion was meant to illustrate that there are similarities in events, but at the end of the day, everything is something new. I have never wanted to challenge that theory I heard in Matthews 105 more than I want to over these last few weeks.
These past few weeks in our country have been some of the most disturbing I can remember in my 35 years. The country was already in a shaky condition considering the citizens fighting a pandemic, seemingly alone with no real support or plan from our nation’s leadership. The COVID-19 virus spread so drastically that it caused our country to practically shut down in many aspects. The effect was felt in businesses, forcing people to be furloughed or laid off, or worse, close altogether. Some 20 million people unemployed as a result. The economy struggled as we try and figure out how to stabilize to a new normal, knowing normal we knew was no longer going to exist.

Since I have a life-long disability that has significantly impacted my experiences my writing usually involves something about that perspective, disability culture, and disability rights. Today, however, I’m not writing about the disability perspective. On the weekend of Juneteenth, 2020, I’m going to focus solely on the Black perspective of what’s happening in America. It’s not that I don’t believe that there is a major intersection of experience between all marginalized populations because there definitely is. I stand by Martin Luther King, JR.’s famous quote that “A threat to justice anywhere, is a threat to justice everywhere” and that’s why, ordinarily, I use that intersection with my experience to highlight the reasons why we should all be supporting one another in the fights that, inevitably, impact all of us.

If you spend any time on online boxing forums you’ve undoubtedly read comments by boxing “fans” disparaging professional boxers. You will hear the word bum thrown around quite a bit and if a fighter gets knocked out, it’s as if his accomplishments up until that point mean nothing. I often wonder if the people making these comments have any idea what it takes to be a professional fighter. Do they know what the guy, who they’ve never heard of before, has gone through to get on the undercard of a televised fight? Boxers are a special breed of athlete.
They must have the endurance of a marathon runner, the balance of a tight rope walker, the will and determination to win, and on top of that, be willing to get punched in the face for a living! Muhammad Ali, for example, on a typical day in training camp, would begin his mornings with a six-mile run while wearing heavy boots. He would do physical training for three and a half hours in the afternoon, and take an hour walk in the evening. He was once quoted on the subject of his workouts, “I hated every minute of training, but I said, don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion”.
