Boxing’s Dirty Little Secret

January 18, 2017 by Paul Magno Leave a Comment

Boxing’s Dirty Little Secret

The one thing you have to understand in boxing—whether you’re a fighter, a fan, or someone in fighter management—is that you always have to hustle.

Opinion: Doing Away With The Draw

by "Hit Man" Morris The only thing worse than a draw in boxing is a bad decision and sometimes you can get both in the same match.

The Electoral College, America’s 10-Point Must System: The Southpaw

by Fox Doucette Barack Obama (2-0, 1 KO) claimed a tough split decision victory over Mitt Romney (0-1) in America's recently concluded presidential election. Most estimates of the popular vote had it in the 50.5-49.5% range when votes for third-party candidates are discounted, and until the count came in from California, Romney was ahead in that particular metric. By boxing … [Read more...]
