Canelo vs. Plant: The Heat Is On
By William Trillo
If you have seen the movie Beverly Hills Cop you know
things aren’t always Bentley’s and Diamonds in the
90210. Such was the case Tuesday afternoon as the press
conference to announce the Canelo Alvarez vs. Caleb
Plant title unifier quickly erupted into donnybrook when
the fighters’ exchanged blows during the face off.
Really, the November 6th fight in Las Vegas didn’t need
much in the way of hype. Canelo, who is the biggest star
in boxing right now is a 168-pound division Champion.
Actually, he owns all the belts…except for one, and that
is the belt that Plant has around his waist. There has
never been a true undisputed champ at 168, but when the
night comes to an end on that November date in Sin City,
one man will reign supreme. Click Here For Full Blog

Franco vs. Moloney III
Press Conference
Last November, controversy
reigned supreme. Andrew Moloney thought he'd done enough
to snatch the WBA super flyweight world title from
Joshua Franco. Moloney contended that numerous jabs
caused swelling under Franco's right eye, which forced
the fight to be stopped after two rounds. Following a
nearly 30-minute video review, the referee's decision of
a headbutt was upheld. Franco retained his title, the
title he won from Moloney via decision nearly five

Having been ringside to watch Vergil Ortiz (17-0, 17

of Mauricio Herrera in Las Vegas, Nevada, I have
witnessed all the impressive tools Ortiz has in his
arsenal. I have become a firm believer that Ortiz is one
of the top young fighters in the world. I will take that
a step further when I say without hesitation that Vergil
Ortiz is the best fighter in The Golden Boy stable.

Professional Boxing
Returns To Acadiana
Boxing is truly one of the
world’s international sports. From the United States to
Russia to Australia and everywhere in between you will
hear of aspiring professional boxers climbing the ranks
to achieve super-stardom. Some income that can be earned
due to PPV can generate millions of dollars for the few
who excel. It’s a fierce and highly competitive sport
that cuts the ties of friendships in some cases.
Promoters and managers get together with matchmakers to
have the best boxers compete with the best. As the old
saying goes, “You can play basketball, baseball, and
football but you can’t play boxing.” It’s one on one and
goes on until one is deemed unconscious or beaten on
points in rounds from 4 to 12. The young upstarts cannot
become the superstars of tomorrow without the hard
working promoters who put on shows without television
money or large sponsorship funds.

Popoca Jr. Earning His Stripes
By William Trillo
Lost somewhere in the current hustle bustle and rhetoric
of fighters not being able to come to terms with some 50
million dollars on the table there are young fighters
who just want to climb into the ring and prove
themselves as true pugilistic warriors. There is nothing
these young men want more than to look across the ring
at their foe as they wait for the bell to ring so he can
earn his stripes by proving he is the better man.
Such is the case for young fighter Frank Popoca Jr. who
will be stepping into the ring this week for the second
time. The fight in South Carolina is far from the
national spotlight, but for Popoca it does not matter.
He just wants to step into the squared circle and prove
he has everything it takes to rightfully be called a
“Prizefighter”.
