Forget Saul Alvarez. Forget Amir Khan. Usman “Uzzy” Ahmed is in Vegas baby! You might remember Uzzy from such viral videos as BIGGEST BOXING TRAGEDY EVER! He’s there cheering for fellow Brit Khan, who’ll probably feature in a similar video by Sunday morning. I’m not going to bother previewing that fight (Matthew Swain will have it all taken care […]

Yes, yes, #cancelcolbert and everything, but it just makes sense: This is Round And Round, and it’s a short version of Round And Round, thus, Short Round from Indiana Jones. Besides the men in the headline in this regular column featuring fights in the works, we have rounded-up news on Gennady Golovkin, Deontay Wilder, Mauricio […]

Got my copy of Springs Toledo’s “Gods of War” off Amazon; still got a ways to go but it’s more than paying off in phrases like “[Ray] Leonard was confident enough to ask permission from an aging Ray Robinson to borrow ‘Sugar,’ but he couldn’t have anticipated how many lumps he’d get from [Roberto] Duran…” […]
