By Jackie Kallen It’s been said that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. But can the old dog teach the puppy a few new tricks? The answer will be out front and center in Foxwoods this Saturday night when 40 year-old Cornelius “K9” Bundrage faces 25 year-old undefeated…

By Jackie Kallen Floyd Mayweather is not just the richest fighter in history, he’s also one of the smartest. His career has gone exactly as planned from Day One and as he is winding down he is taking no chances. He intends to retire undefeated and remain one of the…

By Jackie Kallen Between the dynasty of Floyd Mayweather and the reign of Klitschko, there is little marquee value for the casual boxing fan. Some are getting excited about middleweight GGG, but light heavyweight has always been one of the least popular divisions. Perhaps because there haven’t been many superstars…

By Jackie Kallen Emanuel Steward’s birthday was July 7 and if he were still alive, the gift he’d most likely be hoping for would be a Tony Harrison win on Saturday night in Tampa. Harrison, 21-0, was Steward’s last protégé before he passed away nearly three years ago. He had…

By Jackie Kallen Here it is. Tomorrow night at the StubHub Center in Carson, CA. A night that all undefeated boxers dream of, wait for, and count on: a title shot in a new, higher weight class. Jesse Vargas is hungry and he can almost taste the sweetness of victory….

By Jackie Kallen I love a fight that is a total 50/50 in my mind before the fighters even touch gloves. I go back and forth about which guy will win and why. The Broner/Porter fight is a hard one to pick. If you pick a fight based on which…

SHOWDOWN AT SHENANDOAH By Jackie Kallen It was a great night at the Shenandoah Country Club in West Bloomfield, MI on May 29 as seven top, local prospects stepped into the ring to keep their streaks going. All but one kept their records intact. The crowd enjoyed each fight, however,…

By Jackie Kallen It will be a historic night in Detroit boxing history on Friday when two females join forces to promote a boxing show. The two blonds, who are from the burbs, are rolling the dice by putting on a show in the affluent West Bloomfield area. Mansions and…

By Jackie Kallen Should Manny Pacquaio be sued for not disclosing his shoulder injury before the fight? Obviously there are people who believe so. The gamblers who bet (and lost) on him are not exactly thrilled with the disclosure and would love to get some of their money back. Many…

By Jackie Kallen Now that the arena has been cleaned up, most of the fans have gone home, and the fighters have carted off their mega checks—it’s quiet here in Las Vegas. But there’s still a lot of talk about Saturday night’s fight. Was it truly the “Fight of the…

By Jackie Kallen An interesting phenomenon is occurring in the boxing world. The sentiment surrounding the May 2 fight between “Money” Mayweather and “Pacman” Pacquiao is changing. With the fight less than two weeks away, more and more fans are picking Manny to win. And the public, some of whom…

By Jackie Kallen The leap from boxing in a ring to grappling in a cage is a huge one. Different rules, different dynamics, different fan-base. But BKB (Big Knockout Boxing) is a lot closer to traditional boxing than MMA is. There are, admittedly, a lot of differences, but it is…

By Jackie Kallen If you don’t already have tickets to the fight (or the MGM close-circuit showing of the fight), you may as well stay home. It was just announced that the city will be on shut-down as far as the fight is concerned. Unless you’re staying at an MGM…

by Jackie Kallen The heavyweight division has been a troubled sea for many years. At least for Americans, who have been searching high and low for a successor to the Klitschko monopoly. After all, the heavyweight division was pretty much our domain from the Joe Louis days to the Ali…

by Jackie Kallen I have recently heard some whispering among boxing fans that Gennady “GGG” Golovkin is not as good as some fans think he is. I listen to their reasoning and then I walk away shaking my head. What are these people thinking? This guy is undefeated, has a…
