Does Arum Have A Stacked Deck In Texas? |
|
By William Trillo
As defined by thefreedictionary.com
stack the deck:
to arrange something in a way that is not fair in order to
achieve what you want
This Saturday night in the San Antonio Texas Alamodome, Julio
Cesar Chavez Jr. will put his WBC middleweight belt on the line
when he faces Marco Antonio Rubio in a bout that puts not two
but three Mexicans in the ring. The third Mexican is referee
Lupe Garcia and Rubio is not very happy about the appointment.
In fact when Rubio first heard who would be the third man in the
ring he immediately filed a protest demanding Garcia be removed.
Rubio's fear was that Garcia would still have the great and
revered father of Chavez Jr. on his mind and would favor the son
of the legend Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.
Protest denied!

Mayweather vs. Cotto Not Only Makes Sense
But It Will Make Many Dollars As Well |
|
By William Trillo
The boxing fans with broken hearts who saw their Las Vegas St.
Valentines Day weekend hopes dashed when Andre Berto pulled out
of the Victor Ortiz rermatch,(and I was one of them), can feel a
sense of relief now as they mark the next big boxing holiday
weekend in Sin City down on their calendars. I could be getting
way ahead of myself here but if Miguel Cotto does in fact defend
his 154 pound title against Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 5th at
The MGM Grand in Las Vegas we could easily see one of the
biggest live gate and PPV bonanza's in boxing history.
That's right!
I, William Trillo am 100% for this fight and I am of the belief
the final figure$ could be in the upper stratosphere. Of course
there is another fight everyone would rather see, but we don't
talk about that fantasy here.

If The Women Don’t Want To Wear Skirts, Let The Men |
|
By Tim Donaldson
It was a little over a week ago that I got an email from
Marianne Marston stating that the Amateur International Boxing
Association wants female boxers to wear skirts in the ring. The
reason for this is that female athletes should be feminine,
elegant and distinguished, and apparently, shorts are not
feminine, elegant, or distinguished. Now, this is the debut of
women’s boxing in the Olympics, and things like this are of the
utmost importance. Female athletes must project femininity as
much as male athletes need to project masculinity. God only
knows how many hours the figure skating association must have
spent trying to figure out the perfect masculine outfit for male
figure skaters. So it is no surprise that they have turned their
attention to the clothing of female boxers.

Andre Ward Named BWAA Sugar Ray Robinson Fighter Of The Year |
|
At the end of the year, when several highly
respected publications, including ESPN, Sports Illustrated, and
Yahoo! Sports named Andre Ward their Fighter of the Year, it
seemed that the people around the 2004 Olympic gold medalist
were even more thrilled than he was. Though grateful for the
awards he had earned, the WBA and WBC super middleweight World
Champion was waiting for "the big one."
That wait came to an end yesterday, when the Boxing Writers
Association of America announced that the 27-year-old Ward was
to receive the 2011 BWAA Fighter of the Year award named after
one of the greatest of all-time, Sugar Ray Robinson. The BWAA
stated "Ward was chosen by an overwhelming margin over nominees
Nonito Donaire, Wladimir Klitschko, Floyd Mayweather, and Manny
Pacquiao."

Margules Congratulates Prescott For Knockout Victory |
|
Leon Margules of Warriors Boxing wishes to
congratulate his fighter, super lightweight contender Breidis
"The Khanqueror" Prescott (25-4, 20 KOs), for his KO 3 over Joel
Cassiani at Coliseo Cubierto in Puerto Colombia, Colombia, on
Friday night.
With the victory, Prescott, from Barranquilla, Colombia, and now
living in Miami, Florida, climbed back in the victory column
after two tough losses to top world-title contenders.
Prescott dropped a very debatable decision to highly-rated
Irishman Paul McCloskey in Ireland last September and then, in
November, was putting a beating on feared contender Mike
Alvarado before running out of gas and getting caught in the
last round on the Pacquio/Marquez undercard.
