I think his fight on Saturday night proved that it’s time for Miguel Cotto to step away. You had a hell of a career, Champ, but I think you are right in saying that was your last fight.
Thanks for the years, the fights and the memories!
Let me just start by saying, I saw this fight a bit different than my colleague. I was also pretty incensed about the outcome even if I didn’t really show it Saturday night.
My apologies also for taking a week to get anything posted. Obviously, I need to work quicker and be more on the ball!
First off, in regards to the fight I want to say, that I’m totally fine with the decision, and furthermore, all the judges scoring. Here’s what I scored the fight: 116-112. 8 rounds to 4, in favor of GGG. I could say i feel wholeheartedly that Canelo won the 2nd round and that’s it, everything else could have gone either way even the 12th. Canelo had a cute flurry in the beginning of the 11th and 12th but that was nullified both times by a (according to RJJ) “NINE” punch combo by GGG later in the 11th, and again in the 12th later in the round.
Who you got on September 16th?
Canelo? GGG? Let us know in the comments!
Even if the first fight was a robbery in the majority’s eyes, it was a helluva matchup and I can’t wait to see the sequel tonight! Chocolatito will get his belt back tonight on HBO!!
…Sorry, I should be more objective. It should be a great match up tonight. May the best man win!

I made the suggestion of Johnathan and I making these lists, yet I am the last to do so. As with his list, this isn’t who I think is the greatest fighter of all-time, just the ones I most enjoying watching and re-watching. There are some still-current fighters that could be on here, but these are my all-time guys. Continue reading
So Don had the great idea of sharing who our favorite boxers are of all-time. So here it is, Johnathan’s Fav 5! Before we get started, let me just say these are my 5 favorite boxers! Not who i think the best boxers are, so before you start screaming “Ali is the greatest”, don’t. But then again, Ali wouldn’t even be on my top 5 greatest boxers list either. There are so many boxers that i really admire, but let’s try this anyways.
Here we go! Continue reading
Well, we’re a little more than 2 weeks from the biggest fight of the year. I’d be lying if I said I was anything short of giddy about this fight. Boxing fans have waited forever for Canelo to agree to this matchup, through a ridiculous bout with Amir Khan and an even more ridiculous glorified sparring session with JCC Jr. Continue reading
I’m going to start off by saying this fight is going the distance, both these fighters are too good to let the other knock them out. Continue reading
This will be my first blog, so please bear with me. I’m just a boxing fan; I have been since about 93 when De La Hoya TKO’d Mayweather (obviously not that Mayweather) when I was about 8 years old. I love boxing, I cant say it was bonding time for my dad and I because we enjoyed a lot of things together, boxing was definitely one of them, a big one of them. My first blog maybe my last because I’m about to offend a lot of people but I don’t care. I want to; I want to offend the degenerate boxing fans the trolls of the sport before I even get started because tbh that’s part of the reason why I’m doing this blog in the first place! I call this the tale of the tape… Continue reading
