BRANDON RIOS VERSUS RICHARD ABRIL: WHAT MAKES A WINNER

Posted by Rope A Dope Radio on April 18, 2012 at 12:00am 0 Comments

He kept turning him by a corner, sometimes with a sweeping shift on his back foot, leaning on the side, pivoting, simultaneous to a Check Hook that displaced an undefeated brawler's energy elsewhere into space. The substitute fighter to fellow Cuban, Yuriorkis Gamboa, smartly used his long left arm like a tailor to a yardstick to keep his distance and consistently frustrate his opponent.

 

The Mexican-American boxer, Brandon Rios has gained considerable popularity in his career for his fighting style. There is just so much fieriness in him whenever he boxes and that kind of passion has helped him grow a good following in the sport, so that in a previous article I referred to him as Mr.Excitement, which I'm sure many would agree. He throws punches enthused and…

ONCE AND FOR ALL: BERNARD HOPKINS VS. CHAD DAWSON CONFERENCE CALL QUOTES

Posted by Rope A Dope Radio on April 17, 2012 at 11:00pm 0 Comments

During the final press conference for the previous fight between Bernard Hopkins vs. Chad Dawson a statue of Hopkins was revealed by Ripley Entertainment, where Oscar De La Hoya posed with the bronze man. On this occasion a lot of strong words were revealed by Hopkins and Dawson and Richard Schaefer revealed some facts. Bernard Hopkins is a young 46 years old not an aged one.  Prior to this fight with Dawsonhe challenged Pascal for the WBC Light Heavyweight Title and won. He was the oldest man ever to win a boxing title and does want people to remember him in 100 years time and wanted that fight to go down in history of which it did.

 

Not quite where we left off however, here's how the conference call progressed earlier this afternoon and was taken care of by Kelly Swanson PR. It started off…

CAN MOSLEY TURN BACK THE CLOCK ONE LAST TIME AGAINST CANELO?

Posted by Rope A Dope Radio on April 17, 2012 at 10:30pm 0 Comments

On the undercard of the big Cinco de Mayo pay per view fight between Floyd Mayweather and Miguel Cotto, a legend in the deep twilight of his career will look to defy father time and defeat a young, rising star. At 40, “Sugar” Shane Mosley (46-7-1 with 39 KOs) will take on 21 year old Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (39-0-1 with 29 KOs) for Alvarez’s WBC Junior Middleweight title. What Mosley has done recently to deserve this title shot is beyond this author’s comprehension. Shane is coming off one of his worst career performances against all-time great Manny Pacquiao, a fight which Mosley lost via wide unanimous decision and would have almost certainly lost by knockout if he had elected to win as opposed to merely survive. After being knocked down in the third round, Mosley mounted little to no offense and…

RECAP OF MAYWEATHER-COTTO 24/7: EPISODE ONE

Posted by Rope A Dope Radio on April 16, 2012 at 8:30pm 0 Comments

Over the weekend HBO aired the first episode of 24/7 for the upcoming May 5th PPV fight between all-time great Floyd “Money” Mayweather (42-0 with 26 KOs) and future Hall of Famer/WBA Junior Welterweight Champion Miguel Cotto (37-2 with 30 KOs). From the get go it is abundantly clear that just in the case of the 24/7 series for the Mayweather/Mosley fight, the onus will be on Floyd and his team to deliver the vast majority of the entertainment value. Cotto, like Mosley is an introverted individual who is equally dull as he is classy. There is nothing wrong with being quiet and classy, but unfortunately when it comes to providing the fans with excitement, anticipation and subsequent water cooler talk, it pales in comparison to being boisterous and ignorant accomplishes.

ABRIL WAS ROBBED AGAINST RIOS BUT WILL ANYONE CARE?

Posted by Rope A Dope Radio on April 15, 2012 at 9:00pm 0 Comments

Last night at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada a robbery occurred of the pugilistic sort. Cuban boxer Richard Abril (17-3-1 with 8 KOs) was the victim of yet another shoddy decision that the sport of boxing has unfortunately become famous for. His opponent, former WBA Lightweight Champion Brandon Rios (30-0-1 with 22 KOs) escaped the scene with his undefeated record still intact but only from a technical standpoint and certainly not in the eyes of the ultimate arbiters and in the court of public opinion: boxing fans across the world.

 

There is no bigger fan of Brandon Rios than this author, but last night was not his night. Beginning on Friday with the second consecutive time in which he failed to make weight and was forced to pay a hefty fine, up until the first round of the…

KELLY PAVLIK: "I WOULD LOVE TO FIGHT ANDRE WARD BECAUSE HE IS THE TOP DOG"

Posted by Rope A Dope Radio on April 15, 2012 at 9:30am 0 Comments

"Andre Ward is a great fighter and he proved it with what he did in the tournament. I’m not calling him out I’m just saying I would love to fight him because he is the top dog. I would love to also fight Froch, Bute and Kessler. Also, Chavez Jr. is having a hard time making 160, how about having us fight at a catch weight of 165? I’ll fight him there. He has nothing to lose. If I beat him he can move back to 160. I moved up to fight Taylor at 166 for the rematch and all the way up to 170 to fight Hopkins. After the Hopkins fight I moved back down. He could do the same thing if he lost," said former Undisputed Middleweight Champion of the world and current super middleweight contender Kelly Pavlik when asked who he would like to face in the future. Check out what else he had to say about the future of…

WHAT COTTO NEEDS TO DO TO BEAT MAYWEATHER

Posted by Rope A Dope Radio on April 13, 2012 at 11:00pm 3 Comments

There is no doubt that as good as Miguel Cotto is (and he is an excellent fighter who will almost certainly go to the Hall of Fame once he is eligible), on May 5th he will be in for a tremendously tough assignment. Being asked to defeat an all- time great boxer with the kind of talent and skills that Floyd Mayweather Jr. possesses in addition to the level of confidence that Floyd has due to being an undefeated fighter is a daunting task that requires special attributes to complete. To Cotto’s credit, he appears to be up for the task and is not simply fighting for the money. That’s good because a strong will to win is one of the many necessary qualities that a boxer needs in order to defeat someone of Mayweather’s caliber. Along with that, it is compulsory that he possess a very good and sharp…

ORANGE COUNTY FIGHT NIGHT

Posted by Rope A Dope Radio on April 13, 2012 at 10:30pm 0 Comments

At The OC Fair Hangar, Roy Englebrecht Promotions enjoyed a sellout crowd at 1,372. This was a great achievement in light of the two biggest fights of the night being scratched due to failed neurologicals. Andrae Carthron, despite enjoying a mild win-streak, did not pass the stat's requirements, and we may have finally seen the end of Emmanuel Augustus. If the doctor's results are correct, Augustus did not pass the neurological exam, and his bout with Steve Forbes had to be cancelled the day before the fight card. Carthron's results left heavyweight Skylar Anderson without an opponent, in what would have been his first fight outside of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. However, as is usually the case, the undercard more than made up for it.

 

In the new main event, Kevin Hoskins, of Los Angeles,  was handed his first defeat, at the hands of Ramon Valardez, also Los Angeles. The two men went…

TIM BRADLEY: "AS SOON AS PACQUIAO GETS IN THERE AND TASTES MY POWER HE IS GOING TO RESPECT IT"

Posted by Rope A Dope Radio on April 13, 2012 at 10:00pm 0 Comments

"He has never been in the ring with someone like me and what I bring. I’ve only been down officially down, but really once and I finished the fight and came out on top. A lot of people are going to be really shocked once they see what I will do. I’m quick, I can fight on the inside, and I’m a very smart fighter. I don’t care what other people are saying or what the odds are. I don’t care what Freddie Roach or Ariza are saying. They are counting on an early knockout victory for Pacquiao. They are banking on an early knockout with Pacquiao coming out fast and putting me to sleep early and that’s not going to happen! I’ve never been destroyed in the ring and I’ve faces thousands of fighters from when I was a kid and that has never happened," said WBO Junior Welterweight Champion when asked about if he…
