I've come to every available weekend since 1993 and I ask, "where has the time gone?" After all, I was 28 then and I'm 60 now. So many memories. So many stories. I live for the chats with my fellow fans, reuniting with old friends and immersing myself in history. See you soon!
THE BODYSNATCHER (1956-2025)-
In memoriam; Jamaica’s greatest ever pugilist, perhaps the greatest jr-middleweight to have ever laced up a pair of gloves. A legacy set in stone! R.I.P to the legend Mike McCallum (49-5-1) who passed on today at the age of 68.

BREAKING: California State Athletic Commission has overturned WBO 130 titleholder Emanuel Navarrete's controversial technical decision win over Charly Suarez to a no contest & the WBO has ordered an immediate rematch. #boxing
In a 11-month stretch in 1989-90, Mike McCallum fought Herol Graham, Steve Collins and Michael Watson -- all in their backyards basically. They don't make fighters or careers like this any more.
Meanwhile, today's boxers have excuses for why they don't fight that much any more…
Summer fights I'm looking forward to...
8 June: Nakatani vs Nishida
12 July: Stevenson vs Zepeda
19 July: Usyk vs Dubois
How about you?
How did Boxing Judge David Sutherland have that fight for Caleb Plant by any score!!! I had it 117-111 for Resendiz!!! Sutherland seriously needs to be sat down immediately for one year by the NSAC!!!
R.I.P. Mike McCallum one of Boxing's ATG, great person, & Legendary. Mike was 68 years old & a Vegas resident for many years. Was in the gym everyday teaching his craft to many young fighter's. Always a Gentleman, he will be missed by those that had the luxury of knowing Mike.
Going offline for the rest of the day. Last thought on Mike McCallum. I will always believe that had he been inserted into a round robin with the Mt. Rushmore of Hagler, Hearns, Leonard, and Duran, there would now be Five Kings in #boxing lore. He was that fucking good. #legend…
Fast forward two years, and Yoenlis Hernández is a serious problem for the middleweight division.
I hear people saying that they hate tune-up bouts because certain guys are losing in them before the supposed big fights
Well, yeah OK. But then again, if these guys aren't good enough to win THOSE fights, did those guys merit really being in a BIG one?

The Imane Khelif story has popped back up in recent days and there are a lot of emotions on both sides of the argument. My take on this is simple - you HAVE TO have a uniform standard in sports. That is the most effective way to promote fair competition. Unfortunately, when you…
🔥 Unarguably the best one-punch knockout of Mike McCallum's career was this come-from-behind left hook from hell against Donald Curry (July 1987). What a shot by "The Body Snatcher". Rest in Peace, champ! #boxing #MikeMcCallum 🇯🇲🥊🇯🇲
