Better Be Careful
Better Be Objective
Beterbiev Is The Man |
|
By William Trillo
I am curious how many gambling degenerates lost their
butts Saturday night while making last minute bets on
Joe Smith Jr. after watching ESPN’s extremely slanted
pre-fight hype before the Artur Beterbiev vs. Smith Jr.
Light Heavyweight title unifier. Seriously, it seemed as
if the entire cast and crew of the broadcast team were
ordered to shill for Smith Jr. and say little or nothing
about the undefeated Beterbiev. It was blatant and
annoying.

Star Boxing’s "Rockin’
Fights 42" Results |
|
You never know what will
happen in the fight game. After two featured bouts fell
out only days before the weigh-in and the other at the
weigh-in, Star Boxing resiliently fought on, showing the
tenacity with which has made the company the longest
running, and most consistent promotional company in New
York. Star Boxing still brought the fans an entertaining
and exciting 42nd edition of the critically claimed
“Rockin’ Fights” series at The Paramount in Huntington,
New York on Saturday night (6/11). As they say, the show
goes on, and Star did so admirably without its main
event or co-feature, reshuffling the four bout card and
providing fights that did not disappoint.
