Macho Camacho Shot

Hector "Macho" Camacho, the ornamented boxer who
awed fans with his quick hands and ring antics,
was shot and critically wounded in Puerto Rico Tuesday
authorities said. Camacho was shot Tuesday in front of
a bar in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, police said. Camacho, 50,
was in the passenger seat of a car and next to him was a
man who was shot twice and killed, police said.
Camacho was rushed to a nearby hospital, said Dr. Ernesto Torres,
of the Centro Medico of Rio Piedras.
Torres said the bullet appeared to have entered the
left side of the boxer's face and is now lodged in his right shoulder.
If Camacho survives his injuries he may have trouble walking
in future, Torres said, because the bullet fractured two
vertebrae in his neck.
Camacho was born in Bayamon and raised in New York. He fought
professionally for more than 25 years and last fought in 2010.
During his career he beat such legendary boxers as Roberto Duran
and Sugar Ray Leonard and he held several championships.
No one has yet been arrested over the shooting.
The previous star of the ring was sitting in the passenger
seat of a black Ford Mustang outside the "Azuquita" bar
when the shots were fired, WAPA TV reported. Capt. Rafael Rosa,
of Bayamon Police, identified the driver killed in the attack as
Adrian Mojica. He received one shot to the neck and another to the
lower back. The suspects are two men who are believed to have
been traveling in a gray vehicle, said Lt. Wilfredo Rivera,
of Cataño Police. They escaped after a shootout with police at
a residential complex, WAPA TV reported.

Adrien Broner Defeats Antonio Demarco with TKO

2012-11-19T02:58:00.001-05:00

Adrien Broner stopped Antonio DeMarco in the eighth round to take the WBC lightweight championship Saturday night at Boardwalk Hall. Broner (25-0, 21 KOs) dominated from the outset, punishing DeMarco (28-3-1, 21 KOs) until DeMarco's corner mercifully threw in the towel. Referee Benji Esteves stopped the fight at 1:49 of the round. Broner took control in the fifth, punishing DeMarco with uppercuts and straight rights that thudded against DeMarco's face and produced a bruise under his left eye to match the one under his right. Some fans cheered while others cringed at the onslaught. When the bell sounded, DeMarco walked wearily back to his corner. "I was shaking and baking him until I flipped him up," Broner said. "I knew coming into this fight it was going to be a world-class fight. But I knew he didn't have the skills to beat me. "I wanted to make a statement tonight and I did. He was definitely the toughest opponent I've faced. He was strong and could take a punch." There was a minor controversy before the main event when DeMarco's camp complained that Broner's gloves were smaller. There was no scale to weigh the gloves in the dressing rooms -- they are supposed to weigh eight ounces -- so DeMarco was offered the opportunity to wear the same gloves as Broner and he agreed.

In the co-feature Detroit heavyweight Johanthon Banks (29-1-1, 19 KOs) stopped Seth Mitchell (25-1-1, 19 KOs) in the second round. Banks dropped the former Michigan State linebacker three times in the second, prompting referee Eddie Cotton to stop the fight at 2:38.

AGAIN CHAVEZ??

2012-09-20T23:44:00.000-04:00

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. tested positive for marijuana in his post fight drug test. This is bad news for Chavez, especially considering the fact he was just arrested on DUI charges just two weeks before his fight against Marco Antonio Rubio in January.Previously, in 2009 Chavez also tested positive for a banned diuretic which can be used to mask steroids. This could cause his boxing license suspension in Nevada to not allow him the rematch against Sergio Martinez. He also could be fined more than %10 of his purse..Damn Julio, at least party when your'e not in training camp. http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/8400493/bob-arum-julio-cesar-chavez-jr-tested-positive-marijuana

Pac Man Lookin for the KO

2012-09-18T18:55:00.000-04:00

So not only is Manny Pacquaio looking for the win in his 4th fight against Juan Manuel Marquez, he also feels like he needs a knockout. He wrote it on a piece of paper during a press conference and slid it to his trainer Freddy Roach. After all three of their fights have been controversial. both fighters will be looking to finally put an end to the rivalry. Pacquiao and Marquez fought to a draw in 2004, then Pacquiao won by split decision in 2008 and again by majority decision last year, but Marquez and many fans still believe he won all three fights, while Pacquiao says he clearly won the last two. Dec. 8th in Las Vegas, we will finally see who is the greater of the two fighters.

Sergio Gets The Win and the Belt!

2012-09-16T11:48:00.000-04:00

Good fights last night!! Sergio Martinez now 50-2-2 pulled off the win against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, giving him his first lost 46-1-1, and regaining the middleweight title..Great boxing from Sergio Martinez throughout all twelve rounds, but in the final rounds Chavez Jr. began to hurt Martinez and dropped him in the 12th. Martinez stood up and survived the rest of the round. Had Chavez Jr. turned it up and got an earlier start, i believe he could have won that fight. He looked a lot bigger than Martinez. Already talks of a rematch..Hey, why not?? Also, Canelo Alavarez (41-0-1, 30)gets the win over Josesito Lopez (30-5), showing how powerful his shots are by firing away at Lopez's body and head, He was floored 3 times in the fight but finally finishes him with the TKO in the 5th with a wonderful combination.

2012-09-14T10:17:00.002-04:00

Sorry for the leave of absence..but back in the ring now!! So, this is not too surprising but one of boxing's favorites right now, Andre Ward (26-0, 14 KOs)takes on and defeats Chad Dawson (31-2, 17 KOs) to prove his hype is no fluke. Ward started to land shots in the third round and early in the fourth to take control of the fight but ultimately finished him off with a combination in the 10th.

Canelo Looking Strong

2012-08-11T09:53:00.001-04:00

With just over a month to go,the WBC 154 lb title holder Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (40-0-1,29) is looking prepared as he continues his training camp to take on Josesito Lopez on September 15th, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Mayweather Released Early?

2012-08-03T11:02:00.000-04:00

Floyd Mayweather was released from jail early this Friday morning after only serving 2 out of his 3 month sentence. Now, his lawyers and personal physician are saying his career could be in jeapardy due to the jail food and water not meeting Mayweather's dietary needs, and lack of exercise space in a cramped cell decreased his health and fitness.He didn't complete the sentence because the state of Nevada allows inmates to work off 10 days per month at the jail. A Las Vegas jail administrator and department spokesman said he wasn't required to work. My question is even if he did work, "Doesn't 10 days a month after 2 months equal 20 days?" I think that means he got an extra 10 days taken off for good conduct, while in protective custody. Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa rejected arguments that Mayweather's accommodations were cruel and unusual. The judge ruled June 13 that while Mayweather might not have liked the regimen, he had sufficient space and time for physical activity and the only reason he wasn't eating properly was because he was refusing to eat the meals he was given.

Zab Judah Talk with 50

2012-08-03T10:40:00.001-04:00

Apparentley, Zab Judah's promotional contract with Main Events has come to an end. The former champion has been talking with newly licensed promoter of TMT Promotions, 50 Cent. According to Zab Judah, there's some big plans in the works but everything in the contract should be finalized once Floyd Mayweather returns home from his jail sentence.

Guerrero comes away with the victory over Selcuk Aydin

2012-07-29T12:39:00.003-04:00

Robert Guerrero (30-1-1 18ko)defeated Selcuk Aydin (23-1 17ko) in a unanimous decision Saturday night. This win makes Robert Guerrero the mandatory challenger for Floyd Mayweather upon his release from jail. He even said he's ready to get it on but he may want to slow his roll and think about fighters more on his level such as Ward, Ortiz, or Khan before calling out Floyd. I respect his courage but you gotta crawl before you walk..especially into the ring for the fight of your life. Fight Game Lesson Learned: Don't bite off more than you can chew. Strive to get to the top but remember there are steps that need to be climbed first in order to get there.

50 To Join TMT

2012-07-29T08:25:00.001-04:00

Rapper 50 Cent recently reviewed a promoters license in New York and is also in the process of applying for a license in Nevada. Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson will join TMT " The Money Team" and be promoting Floyd Mayweather when Floyd is released from his jail sentence Aug 3. This could be good for boxing since Floyd looks up to 50. If only we can get 50 to get in Floyd's ear and encourage him to take a fight with a challenge instead of cherry picking he's been doing over the last few years. 50 also took to his twitter account to inform Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy Promotions, that although they have been promoting Floyd's last 6 fights, 50 bets they won't be promoting Floyd anymore.

Adrien " The Problem" Broner's weight was a problem Friday and Saturday

2012-07-23T02:04:00.000-04:00

Adrien Broner gets his win as expected, with a TKO in the 2:32 of the 5th round pushing his undefeated record to 24-0(20). The "problem" is he failed to make the 130lbs weigh in Friday night coming in at 133 1/2 lbs. Escobedo's camp agreed on a 140lbs limit on Saturday, and Broner showed up 3 1/2 lbs over. Now he has given up his WBO junior lightweight title but kept his record intact. Not that he's worried about the belt, while Escobedo moves to 26-4, Broner is moving up to the 135 lbs weight class to fight steeper competition and prove he is the next star.

The Importance of Defense

2012-07-19T19:49:00.005-04:00

Ok so check this out. Martin Tucker(below)light welterweight robbed The Monroe County Community Credit Union in Temperance in 2009, near the Michigan-Ohio border. Back on April 28, 2012 Tucker fought Devaris Crayton at the Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio. The FBI said they obtained a swab with blood from his April fight, and found that his DNA matched the DNA evidence from that 2009 robbery in Temperance.Tucker was arrested this week and ordered held without bond on Wednesday. His skill in the ring is equally talented.I forgot to mention he is 1-6. Maybe thats why he was robbing the bank! Hang up the gloves and put down the guns. Time for a vacation to the big house.
Fight Game Lesson Learned: You get punished for not having defense.

Can Vicente Escobedo handle the speed of the flashy Adrien Broner?

2012-07-16T17:44:00.000-04:00

You be the judge...Here's a look at the two.

King Khan Falls!

2012-07-16T17:10:00.002-04:00

I guess Amir let his own ego get the best him. His defense was absent that night at best, and his chin had made other reservations. Danny Garcia used Khan as a stepping stone and in doing so has opened the gates to new opportunities.

Can Danny Garcia prove himself against Amir Khan?

2012-07-11T16:19:00.002-04:00

One of the Greatest!! Ray Robinson

2012-07-09T18:51:00.001-04:00

2012-07-09T18:31:00.000-04:00

Tyson Fury has said he will be the one to end the Klitscho's reign at the top. Is he really ready for a fight at the next level??

Classic Fight!

One of the best battles to date!

Super! Judah

2012-06-30T20:28:00.000-04:00

Another fighter with great talent.. Zab Judah wasn't a fan favorite but I was always drawn to his style, speed, and defense.

Iron Mike

2012-06-30T15:02:00.001-04:00

Although "Iron" Mike Tyson can be a funny entertainer these days,in his younger days he was entertaining us in the ring. A young warrior with a god given talent.One of my favorite fighters....

Good Shot!

2012-06-30T04:34:00.002-04:00

12 pack of beer........$15 50 Wings with sides....$40 HBO PPV Fight..........$80 Seeing Mayweather take a shot like this in the face and later leak out.......... PRICELESS!!!!!

Really Vic?? Againnnn...Done

2012-06-29T17:07:00.003-04:00
