Shanghaied in Macau; Magno’s Monday Rant

While my "colleagues" were wetting their Jack Dempsey Underoos last year at the idea of boxing's expansion into China, I was concerned about the possible shenanigans of a poorly-regulated sport diving into a completely unregulated gaming black hole like Macau.

How impressed am I supposed to be that Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire knocked out old spindly-legged Jorge Arce in three lop-sided rounds? In the year-end awards should I create new categories to somehow express the absolute awe I have for the WBO super bantamweight … [Read more...]

Horgan "Tonight is not another black eye for boxing" ~Larry Merchant, following Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.'s TKO of Andy Lee June 16, 2012. El Paso, Texas. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. … [Read more...]
