Manny And Floyd Episode Two: It’s Still Good

0 comments by on 3/10/2015

If my teenage years taught me anything, it’s that waiting for something to happen for five years doesn’t mean it’s going to be good. In fact, it’s probably going to be disappointing, a bit shameful and over very quickly. This week’s episode of Manny and Floyd, the podcast all about the big fight, takes a […]

0 comments by on 3/8/2015

It was boxing’s big moment, and the first fight card cementing the deal between Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions and major television network NBC.

If the main event this weekend, Keith Thurman vs Robert Guerrero, isn’t quite boxing “putting its best foot forward,” it’s at […]

Manny And Floyd: A Podcast

0 comments by

When Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. (no surnames required, really) happens on May 2, it may be the biggest sporting event of the year. It’ll certainly be the biggest fight in decades. To me, that seemed like a good enough reason to make Manny and Floyd, a podcast series which will keep you up to date with everything about, well, Manny […]

0 comments by on 2/28/2015

Carl Frampton made light work of Californian Chris Avalos before an adoring Belfast crowd, Saturday. Hometown hero Frampton (20-0, 14 KO), dominated Avalos (25-3, 19 KO) throughout their junior featherweight showdown, before referee Howard Foster rescued the woozy visitor at 1:33 of round 5, when Avalos listed after absorbing a succession of flush right hands. […]

Carl Frampton Can Make A Great Fight Next

0 comments by

Carl Frampton dispensed with Chris Avalos Saturday with relative ease, as we knew he probably would, even if we also knew Avalos was going to bring the reckless attacking, which he tried to do. The fight itself matters less than this: Frampton is right in the thick of a glut of fighters who can make […]
