Well David Haye did what he said he was going to do in his fight against Enzo Maccarinelli. He exited the cruserweight division unifying the titles with a spectacular A+ KO of Enzo. David has a lot of people excited. He will bring much needed excitement to the dreadful heavyweight division whether he wins a title or not.

The Sam Peter and Oleg Maskaev fight was a joke! Yeah there was one good round and that was it. Both get an F ( Peter’s power/strength is a B+ though when he doesn’t hit in the back of the head and yes he did hit Oleg clean so he earns two good grades) and it’s scary to think that people are calling Sam Peter the future of the heavyweight division. I think not. When the hell is Tony Thompson going to get his chance! If Tony fights Peter, Tony beats his ass! The dude has skill and heart. Peter has no skill and it’s sad to see a fighter who relentlessly clubs fighter in the back of the head to earn the majority of his KO’s champion.

The best fight on HBO was Diaz-Campbell. Campbell did what he said he was going to do against Diaz and that was to bring it all night long. He did and Nate won his first tile at ht e young age of 36! Juan Diaz is the fighter who usually overwhelms his opponents with his non stop punching. He finally faced a fighter who would not wilt but return the favor forcing his will and earning the big win. Nate Campbell showed great conditioning A+, Strength A, Power A, opening a cut with his power and stopping Diaz from marching in, Speed A, He was catching Diaz with good hooks and uppercuts early in the fight when Diaz was still in it. His corner earns an A+ too in having Nate ready and keeping him focused to the final bell. Great job by former 2X Champ John David Jackson’s team. y!

Coming this weekend is an awesome mega fight with a score to settle. I’m talking about Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manual Marquez . The true big men once again take center stage. This fight is guaranteed to satisfy!

I often hear people talking about how great it is in going to failure in their supplementary strength training for boxing? Why I say? Why instill faulty movement patterns and create shit motor engrams? How can going to failure at the end of your push up set while it looks like you’re fucking the floor benefit you? It can’t and it’s a bad idea.

Maybe it’s the go hard or go home mindset that makes coaches and fighters think and act this way. Strength training will only enhance your sporting skill if it’s applied correctly. Many seem to over look this.

Instead of going to failure keep a good rep or two in the tank at the end of the set. This eliminates faulty movement patterns ensuring proper motor engraming ( stored movement patterns in the brain ) , improves recovery, while also reducing the chance of injury.

The motto is…train don’t drain. Don’t fuck up your boxing skill with a garbage approach to your strength training.

So far it’s the fight of the year. Both get an A+ in their performances. Both fighters came in superb condition and as hungry as their first encounter. Both showed tremendous conditioning, speed, strength, power, and the special ingredient…. will

I thought Pat Russell did a great job by taking a deducting a point for low blows and by calling the knockdown in the last round. Terrific calls. He maintained control of the fight by deducting a point for the belt line low blow. Low blows take the fight out of the fighter and can ruin such a great fight. Russel didn’t allow one of those to sneak in. Marquez was obviously held up by the ropes preventing the knock down. I can’t believe that Gary Shaw is protesting it! His fat ass knows damn well it was a great call!

Watching that fight you were just in awe of the physical and mental conditioning of both fighters. Performances like this make you proud to be a boxing fan. That’s why both fighters deserve A+ grades and beyond for their effort. Sigh…If only the heavyweights could put forth such an effort… Sigh.

Maybe the score will be evened in four. Meaning Vazquev-Marquez IV… But both need a LONG rest for that fight even being mentioned!
