By Reni M. Valenzuela What one thinks and believes is what one sees and concludes. ''I THOUGHT Bradley gave Pacquiao a boxing lesson,'' a judge in the Pacquiao-Bradley said.

By Reni M. Valenzuela Boxing will not run out of controversies because boxing is no longer a sport, but pure business. And that mainly caused its demise as the Sweet Science it used to be. Yet crocodiles are well and alive in the squared ring events these days, alas, ever feasting on the game. … [Read more...] about PURE BUSINESS, SO BRADLEY “WON” (Steps to Take)

By Reni M. Valenzuela The Sweet Science is a sport. Everything else that goes with it comes secondary.

By Reni M. Valenzuela The skillful boxer named Brian Viloria should run hard through something tougher than techniques which would make him more of a fighter than a boxer. … [Read more...] about VILORIA THE BOXER VS. VILORIA THE “RELUCTANT” FIGHTER

By Reni M. Valenzuela Where Pacquiao is Haggler is where lies the key to decisive wins for the former. And where Mayweather and Marquez are not Cotto and Margarito is where the reasons are why strategies must vary. … [Read more...] about HOW COULD PACQUIAO KO MARQUEZ OR A MAYWEATHER AS COTTO EXPOSED FLOYD

By Reni M. Valenzuela Pacman is most dangerous at this time as a boxer. He can float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. Imagine a Muhammad Ali with hands that have been turned into gloves of stone, all set and ready to break the hardest rock in a single stroke. Imagine a Henry Armstrong in a flurry of merciless blows to grind a giant idolatrous bust to powder. Imagine … [Read more...] about IMAGINE! PACQUIAO BEATS BRADLEY

By Reni M. Valenzuela When do you see a fight that has reached a conclusion but has never happened at all? Whether Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. would still fight in the future or not, who cares now? The bout is well over.

By Reni M. Valenzuela The complexity of a negotiation or “negotiation” is in getting one’s self too much into the details, while overlooking how simple it is from the outermost stretch by the simplicity of common sense to reject self-indulgence.

By Reni M. Valenzuela Bob Arum is atop his throne. He has been playing god as though he has the world at his command.

Leaving a great legacy like the great Muhammad Ali is normally what old people are most concerned about, but not Arum. … [Read more...] about BOB ARUM IS ATOP HIS THRONE!
