Chris Eubank Sr Talks Persistence And Skill!
On Persistence Being Key; I won five or six world title fights against opponents who had more talent and ability than I had, and I won because I was persistent.

The two world title fights I lost to Steve … [Read more...] about Chris Eubank Sr Talks Persistence And Skill!

FIGHTS TO WATCH AND DUMP: WHAT DEFINES BOXING TODAY
By Reni M. Valenzuela Top Rank and HBO are closely knitted now than ever. And they are “potent” allies determined to take boxing for a ride. By aggravating the situation and deepening the rift between two warring factions in the sport, how superficial of anybody to think that the fans and boxing community would be held back from rejecting Top Rank “in-house fights.” … [Read more...] about FIGHTS TO WATCH AND DUMP: WHAT DEFINES BOXING TODAY
HBO’S CHILDISH MOVE “VERSUS” GOLDEN BOY TO “KO” BOXING
By Reni M. Valenzuela Lest they forget, boxing is first a sport (not business) before all else. However I look at it, HBO’s sudden dumping of Golden Boy Promotions is a big, reckless disservice to the sport, with HBO’s management allowing personal and/or professional rift among “cats and dogs” in the business side of boxing to get in the way of sanity. HBO acted naively, … [Read more...] about HBO’S CHILDISH MOVE “VERSUS” GOLDEN BOY TO “KO” BOXING

Chris Eubank on Don King, PPV, HBO, Herol Graham, James Toney, Roy Jones, Steve Collins, and more!
On boxing being a dying sport: If boxing is in a demise, it started with Don King and pay-per-view, 10 years, 15 years ago. Young boxers to me would be scared to hook up with such a man as it seems most of the men he and his like had dealings with end up broke. He's no longer a major player in the business, but maybe many young men put themselves into other physical sports … [Read more...] about Chris Eubank on Don King, PPV, HBO, Herol Graham, James Toney, Roy Jones, Steve Collins, and more!
