Man Up Monday Part II: Money Mayweather
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, July 19th, 2010

The Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather mega fight should have happened last year, it should have happened earlier this year, and it should happen later this year, but instead…it isn’t happening yet.

Mayweather called out Pacquiao for not agreeing to his random drug testing.  Pacquiao agreed to most of the terms, but put a deadline of [...]

Damn Homey: Prince Naseem Hamed
Posted by Brock Hardon | Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Just two days after I had a Prince Naseem Hamed flashback, all my positive memories came tumbling down when Bomber dropped this on me in the comments.

Awwwwwww! Come on Prince!  You know he’s no featherweight anymore.  He was never a tall dude, but he’s looking turrible in these pictures.  He’s even got the fat guy [...]

Us Versus Them Classic Material: Prince Naseem Hamed
Posted by Brock Hardon | Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

Watching Sugar Shane vs. Mayweather this weekend reminded me of watching boxing back when it was really entertaining.  The best fights to watch were from a flyweight named Prince Naseem Hamed.  For the record, flyweight is 112 pounds.  I’m thinking it is kind of hard to be a badass at 112, but somehow Prince Naseem [...]

Man Up Monday: Sugar Shane Mosley
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, May 3rd, 2010

I didn’t really know if that fight was going to be worth it last weekend, but Sugar Shane and Money May did not disappoint. First of all 24/7 on HBO is one of the best pre-fight hype machines out there. The camps are talking junk, you get to see both fighters train and [...]

Man Up Monday: Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, April 5th, 2010

Roy Jones Jr. fought Bernard Hopkins on Saturday night and it was epic.  But I’m pretty sure it was an epic fail.  I’m pretty sure this fight would have been awesome in 2001, but in 2010 it is actually just sad.  Roy Jones, Jr. is 41 and Bernard Hopkins is 45 and it looked like [...]

Old School UFC
Posted by Brock Hardon | Thursday, March 25th, 2010

The UFC has the first really good card in a while coming up this weekend.  There are finally some belts on the line, and the match-ups are actually really interesting.

They actually have done a good job making it seem like Dan Hardy is going to match up well with Georges St. Pierre, but he’s really [...]

Manny Pacquaio Makes Jim Lampley Lose His Mind
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, March 15th, 2010

For those of you who don’t watch a lot of boxing, Jim Lampley on HBO is great.  I’ve met him a few times and he is a really nice guy, and for me a fight isn’t really a fight unless he is on the call.

He is also one of the smartest guys out there.  His [...]

Lost Lake Files: WTF: Manny Pacquiao tries to sing on Kimmel?
Posted by Lake Arlington | Friday, February 12th, 2010

Lake Arlington was the 2Pac, Prince, Biggie and Lil Wayne of blogging.  I just unearthed his lost posts from our archives.  Fully finished, never released old joints in the archives.  Here’s one on Manny Pacquiao.  Enjoy.
Look, I know dude is the biggest boxer, politician, star and yes, recording artist in all of the Philippines, but [...]

Someone Needs to Monitor Mike Tyson
Posted by Brock Hardon | Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Mike Tyson has been having a resurgence lately.  He was good in the Hangover, the Tyson biopic was good and he’s even starting to slim down on Dancing with the Stars in Italy.

Now see, 5 years ago we would have thought Tyson had just knocked this woman out.  He looks like he is losing weight [...]

Pac Man Up Monday: Manny Pacquiao
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, January 11th, 2010

Now see, this is why I’ve almost completely abandoned boxing.  I understand that it might be a good thing for every fighter to be able to call their own shots.  I understand that the fighters need to negotiate terms to protect themselves,  I understand there are about 30 different weight classes in boxing, but I [...]

Damn Homey: Jermain Taylor got KTFO!
Posted by Brock Hardon | Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

There is one universal truth about boxing.  There aren’t too many fighters who get the opportunity to retire gracefully.  Those who retire undefeated are said to retire too early, retire at the top of their game.  Everyone else, they get retired.  Boxers don’t get old gradually, they get old during a fight. Before you get [...]

Mike Tyson: His Tears Are Impeccable, His Whimpers Are Ferocious
Posted by Brock Hardon | Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Oprah is really trying to get it in this year.  She gets Whitney to talk about smoking Crack Rock Cocaine.  She gets Jay-Z to teach her how to rap, and now she’s got Mike Tyson crying about his life.

I’ve always loved Mike Tyson.  You think he’s dumb because he is a big guy with a [...]

Kimbo Slice Got KTFO! (Uhhhhhh…Spoiler?)
Posted by Brock Hardon | Friday, October 2nd, 2009

I remember the first time I saw Kimbo Slice.  My boy Van Bader hit me with a you tube link, and I saw an absolute monster.

The early videos were crazy.  Dude would jump into his boys truck.  Come to YOUR house, or a parking lot, or a train yard, wherever you had the money, and [...]

Man Up Monday: Juan Manuel Marquez
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, September 21st, 2009

If you were on the Twitter feed, (and if not, why not?) you know your boy Brock was in Vegas this weekend and yes I was at the fight.

This was billed as Number 1 vs. Numero Uno, but uhhhhh, I didn’t see it.  Floyd dominated Marquez from beginning to the end.  As long as Floyd [...]

(Wo)Man Up Monday: Gina Carano
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, August 17th, 2009

I think this is the first Woman Up Monday.  I’m going to have to go for the formerly undefeated, caught an ass whoopin’, but is still the baddest chick in MMA, Gina Carano.

I know it, she doesn’t even look like a fighter, but on Saturday she took on Cris Cyborg in the first ever female [...]

Man Up Monday: Forrest Griffin
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, August 10th, 2009

Whenever I talk about a UFC fight, all Lake ever asks is “Anderson Silva”?  If the answer is no, Lake is about 50/50.  If the answer is yes, Lake is generally in.  So we were both watching the fight Saturday, and the real main event was Silva vs. Forrest Griffin.  It was a great fight [...]

Come On Bruh: Art Jimmerson aka One Boxing Glove guy
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, July 20th, 2009

People take mixed martial arts for granted now.  We think of the martial arts all mixed together now.  But back in the day they were mixing fighters together that had different styles.  It was actually a pretty interesting concept.  Could karate beat judo?  Could Mui Thai beat kick boxing?  Could Boxing beat Mui Thai?  Could [...]

Rampage Jackson is Hilarious
Posted by Brock Hardon | Friday, July 10th, 2009

UFC 100 is this weekend, and although Rampage Jackson isn’t fighting, he’s actually more entertaining outside of the ring.  It takes a funny dude to start dry humping the woman interviewing him halfway through an interview.  But it takes a hilarious dude to do it for a full minute while looking her dead in the [...]

Tim Sylvia Got KTFO
Posted by Brock Hardon | Thursday, June 18th, 2009

I never understood how Tim Sylvia got the belt.  Sure, the guy is 6′8″ and I assume that he has some athletic skills beyond that, but he looks like a complete goofball in the ring.

I mean look at that dude.  Double knee braces, knock kneed, he’s a clown.  Every time I start to question why [...]

Kimbo Slice To the UFC!
Posted by Brock Hardon | Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

When I heard this news today I couldn’t believe it.  Then, the more I thought about it, I could absolutely believe it.  Kimbo Slice, of YouTube fame, of personally destroyed Elite XC fame, of got his ass knocked out by a glorified fluffer fame, has a shot to get into the UFC.  This dude is [...]

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is BACK!
Posted by Lake Arlington | Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

This is just a great video of Floyd Mayweather v. Brian Kenny.  Hey, I didn’t even know this dude’s name until Floyd started blowing him up.  That mean mug Floyd laid on Kenny was crazy.  I love it.  Enjoy.

Maaaayne, this Floyd v. Manny Pac-Man is going to be a monster.  UvT loves Floyd.

Mike Tyson: Still The Best
Posted by Brock Hardon | Thursday, May 14th, 2009

With the new Tyson movie out and Iron Mike making a cameo in The Hangover we gotta give the man some love.

They are making a remake of Punch Out! for the Wii, without Mike Tyson.  Can’t he come back?  Unlockable character?  Punch Out isn’t Punch Out without Iron Mike.  One of the greatest moments of [...]

UvT Weekend Sports Recap
Posted by Lake Arlington | Monday, May 4th, 2009

It was a long weekend full of plenty of sports for the man’s man.  First off, the Celtics finally took the baby bulls out behind the woodshed and handled bidness.

lol.  great pic.  Look, one thing I know, it’s the Ben Gordon is a monster.  To me, the series shouldn’t have been this close.  Incidentally, peep [...]


Non-Breaking News: Oscar De La Hoya Retires
Posted by Brock Hardon | Thursday, April 16th, 2009

Oscar De La Hoya announced his retirement from boxing on Monday.

That’s funny, I thought he retired four months ago…

Yeah, that was the moment right there.  It is so funny how boxers don’t know they are done until they catch that last ass whoopin.  Even then, they might not know it until they catch a few [...]

Man Up Monday: BJ Penn and Wake Forest
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, February 2nd, 2009

Damn BJ.  I guess all that junk you were talking was just that.  Georges St. Pierre really just broke you down and made it look like you were never in the fight.  Embarassing really.  After all of that “GSP is a quitter” and “I have more heart” rhetoric, you didn’t answer the bell in the [...]
