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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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.

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
