  By Scoop Malinowski Ryan Garcia vs Gervonta Tank Davis press conference tension seems real this time, so I’m expecting a real fight for a change (not a co-joint business deal event). Davis has been carefully protected his whole career so he’s an illusion. Haymon PBC is on the ropes ...

  (Note: I did this Biofile with Broner in Newark, NJ when he was 15-0 in 2010.) By Scoop Malinowski Status: Former World Champion boxer. Won world titles in four weight classes. Pro record is 34-4-1 (24 KOs). Just signed a promotional contract with Don King. Ht: 5-7 Wt: 130 ...

 Ryan Garcia and Tank Davis will fight on April 22 in Las Vegas. Today they met face to face the first press conference announcement in Manhattan at the Palladium Times Square. I have to say, Davis is one of the most uninteresting professional athletes I’ve ever seen or heard. I ...

  By Scoop Malinowski When boxing was king the big fights captivated the world. You could not wait those eight weeks to finally see the best vs the best. Today, boxing is mostly all scripted hoax events which end up disappointing because they look like soft controlled sparring sessions and ...

  By Scoop Malinowski In the early days of promoter Al Haymon’s days involved in pro boxing, you could often see the low-key business suit and tie attired figure sitting at ringside, absorbed and in awe of the big fights. I remember seeing his image many times at ringside, he ...

Terence Crawford is 34 now, that’s old for a welter. His best days may be behind. Haymon finally took a chance to match one of his pawns with Crawford. Shawn Porter gave it his best but was outclassed. The stoppage was very suspect, he didn’t appear that hurt. Maybe the ...

Yordenis Ugas is good but he was a zero draw. Cubans never sell and can never be the A side draw in America or anywhere. Just the way it is. Ugas is so good Errol Spence had to duck him before he had the car crash. Ugas would have beaten ...

I just can’t buy the Spence eye injury cancellation of the August 21 Pacquiao vs Spence superfight. Because Al Haymon never puts two key assets in the ring together – Floyd vs Paul Williams, Thurman vs Spence, Floyd vs Thurman or Spence, Wilder vs A Ruiz – because it’s bad ...
