Mikey Garcia Gets
DiSpenced By Errol |
|
By William Trillo
Errol Spence Jr. (25-0, 21 KO’s) had little or no
trouble at all with Mikey Garcia (39-1, 30 KO’s) as he
retained his IBF Welterweight title with a complete
shutout performance. The fight was not close, the fight
was not intriguing, the fight was not suspenseful.
When this fight was first announced almost everyone to a
man said that Mikey had bitten off way more than he
could chew with this challenge.

show at home, in which his cousin, Owen Minor, made his
pro debut, all topped by Ball capturing the vacant New
England middleweight title.

advantage, effectively jabbing and mixing in some
powerful body shots, to win a unanimous six-round

He Likes It! Hey Mikey! |
|
|
By William Trillo
Back in the day, circa 1972, a cereal commercial aired
on television that caught the attention of most of
America. In the commercial two older bigger kids had no
desire to test out the new cereal offering but instead
pawned it off on their much smaller companion, “Mikey”.
Thinking Mikey would want no part of it the bigger boys
were dismayed when Mikey takes that bowl and devours the
contents, all of it. It is then that the shocked
brothers excitedly exclaim, “He likes it! Hey Mikey!”
Almost 50 years later that same scenario is
playing out in the world of professional prize
fighting. In this one the offering few desire to
test is one Errol Spence Jr. (24-0, 21 KO’s).
Currently Spence holds the IBF Welterweight
title and in the eyes of many he is the best 147
pounder on the planet.

Bivol Brings It |
|
By William Trillo
With his victory on Saturday night Dmitry Bivol (16-0,
11 KO’s) retained his WBA Light Heavyweight Title and
now should finally get some well deserved respect and
recognition. The young Russian with a thoroughbred
pedigree proved his worth against the strong challenger
Joe Smith Jr.(24-3, 20 KO’s). Bivol was dominant and
almost dropped Smith in the final round. But let’s not
forget that earlier in the fight Bivol was put to the
test as a Smith Jr. bomb stunned and wobbled the young
Champion. Proving he has what it takes, Bivol weathered
the storm and went on to impress with his unanimous
decision victory.
