\"\"<\/a>By \u201cKap\u201d Kaplowitz<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m feeling better, thanks for asking. Each and every prayer was received, felt, and appreciated and my head-cold with slight cough accompaniment — hath been bravely and mainly vanquished. And all with minimal crying and\/or pleading theatrics on my part. Lemme step outside to my porch\/office, light this stogie and make with the ring writing. But first, like a breech birth, thanks again to Ringside Report for having me. As always, it remains good to be had, gentlepersons.<\/p>\n

The WBC has ordered an immediate rematch of the Canelo-\u201cGGG\u201d now infamous in certain circles, draw. President Mauricio Sulaiman announced this Board of Governors\u2019 decision at the World Boxing Council\u2019s 55th Convention at the fab-u-lous Fairmont Flame Towers Hotel, in wherest-ever the heck \u2018Baku\u2019 may be. Yet, one must have before them a working definition of \u201cimmediate.\u201d Eight months, lettuce say, is a good whiles. <\/p>\n

Particularly for \u201cGGG\u201d who ain\u2019t getting younger. Particularly too for Canelo, whom learns from every match. Particularly \u2019losses\u2019 or \u2018hard-fought battles.\u2019 The more the sand pours into the hour-glass\u2019s bottom chamber, the more things look like they\u2019ll be coming up Alvarez. Speaking of rematches, who\u2019s excited for Bellew-Haye II? Hello? Anyone? Bueller\u2026 Bueller\u2026 Bueller??? <\/p>\n

Checking in with further alphabet soup messings, the World Boxing Association hath tallied former world champ of four divisions, one Roman \u201cChocolatito\u201d Gonzalez as their No.2 at 115. This coming freshly on the heels of his sobering loss to Rungvisai or Wangek or Smith\u2026 oy gevalt, can I just call him Smith? Nevertheless, Chocolatito has been beating the drums in tandem of this interest towards squaring off \u2018gainst current title-holder Kal Yafai. But too, he\u2019s beating another drum-set in another direction of WBO champion Naoya Inoue. Meanwhiles, Inoue is looking for a New Year’s Eve dance partner in Tokyo — but is on the record as having a hard time finding a date. Nobody will fight him. Looks like \u201cChocolatito\u201d passed that particular torch, hopefully he won\u2019t feel froggy \u2018nuff to leap on a Japan-bound flight. Kal Yafai seems to be the Gonzalez preferred next bit of ill-advised by moi fisticuffs — or at least that\u2019s \u2018closer\u2019 to happening.<\/p>\n

Plus-sized prospect Jarrell Miller is set to make his HBO debut. Mariusz Wach shall (minimally) oppose \u201cBig Baby.\u201d It\u2019s a showcase for Miller, sure. Larger than that, or at least with the larger picture in mind, it\u2019s perchance a last grasp for HBO to find its way back into the opulently and lavishly decor\u2019d heavyweight house. This on the back of Dr. Steelhammer\u2019s retirement and Anthony Joshua\u2019s Showtime contract. Expect HBO mouth-pieces to extol Miller ahead of sliced bread, the wheel, and the ability to control fire as a tool. Speaking of which, I cannot wait to see Lomachenko beat a two-division lighter than he Rigondeaux, as proof of being the greatest of all time, inter-galactically speaking. Did I already write about that in a previous Kap\u2019s Smoke Ring? Maybe.<\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s now time for me to quit pounding my Chromebook QWERTY, and to fully enjoy this cigar buzz in solitude. Lookit me, smoking cigars and writing a column. And my fifth grade teacher Mrs. Price said I wouldn\u2019t amount to anything. And lookit her now: dead. Till next week, always keep yer chin tucked and never take the dead at their word.<\/p>\n
