PBC’s PPV on Fox
The Final Nail In The Coffin |
|
By William Trillo
As defined by Cambridge Dictionary
Final Nail in the Coffin: An event that causes the
failure of something that had already started to fail.
If there was anyone questioning whether or not PPV
boxing shows have gone the way of the Dodo Bird,
Saturday nights PBC promoted catastrophe on FOX is a
loud and clear answer. From top to bottom and from the
inside out the broadcast was an atrocity.
The very first phone call I received on Sunday went as

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.

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.

Espinoza Stops Nunez In
"Rumble At The Rock IV" |
|
WBO No.1-ranked Ricardo
“Hindu” Espinoza (23-2, 20 KOs) probably had to work
harder than he wanted to, but still managed to
successfully defend his WBO-NABO Latino Bantamweight
Championship for the second time with a tenth-round
stoppage of a game Ricardo "El Matematico" Nuñez (29-9,
23 KOs).
Fighting in the main event of the “Rumble at the Rock
IV” event, presented by Kris Lawrence and The
Heavyweight Factory and All Star Boxing at the Hard Rock
Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in
Hollywood, Fla., Espinoza finally broke open a grueling
affair with a barrage of shots that left Nunez helpless
along the ropes.

Leo Santa Cruz (36-1-1, 19 KOs) headlined the PBC show
at the Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live to defend his WBA
World featherweight title, and did what was expected of
him. It took all 12 rounds, but he defeated Rafael
Rivera (26-3-2, 17 KOs) in a unanimous decision. The
scores were the same on all of the cards; 119-109. But
don’t let those numbers fool you. Rivera came to fight
and there was no backup in him whatsoever. The two went
toe-to-toe for the majority of the fight, and many in
attendance gave Rafael a round or two more than that.

Cusumano Says
"Hard-Headed" Barrett
Is In For Long Night Feb. 23 |
|
As a young up-and-comer,
the heavy-handed Sicilian who breezed through his
amateur career undefeated, Juiseppe Cusumano promised
his coach and mentor, Robert Matney, he'd one day win a
world title.
When Matney, a former Chief Petty Officer in the U.S.
Navy, died unexpectedly in 2014, Cusumano's career took
a turn for the worse. The promising heavyweight
struggled with alcohol abuse and sat on the shelf for
more than two years, the victim of a shady manager who
robbed him of most of his earnings without booking him
any fights.
