“Irish” Micky Ward has just received the biggest break in his second career as a trainer, a chance to prepare the man he shared 30 brutal rounds with four years ago, Arturo Gatti (40-8, 31 KOs). It has been no secret that the two grew close after staging on of the most storied and fan-approved […]

Day 4 Is now a casualty and we find ourselves actually under 96 hours and counting from the fight that “THE WORLD AWAITS”. Typically not one to entertain negativity, I decided somewhere in the 20 day countdown that we’ve covered going back to April 15th, we needed to spark a little controversy for the ‘haters’, […]

Day 11: Today we take a look at boxings “Golden Boy”, Oscar Dela Hoya. Over the last few years he’s been highly acclaimed for his talents away from the ring, (singing, promoting, etc.), but today we take a look at what gave him his credibility in the ring, and why he will undoubtedly go down […]

Oscar De La Hoya has lost four of his last eleven bouts. The first three losses (against Felix Trinidad and twice against Shane Mosley) were forgivable. De La Hoya controlled the pacing.
