Long Live King Khan!!


What an exceptional performance by Khan. He knocked Salita down 10 seconds in with his first and second punch ( a left straight and a right hook) of the fight, knocked him down again 36 seconds later and ended the fight with a KO victory within 72 seconds of the first round. That is as good as it gets. Salita had no chance to do anything at all. He was destroyed, annihilated, obliterated with such speed and precision from Khan. Khan just couldn't miss him, connecting with powerful shots at ease.

This kid has a very bright future, and I tip him to shine in Las Vegas, which shouldn't be too far away.

To Salita, you seriously need to figure yourself out. You boasted a record of no defeat and yet you were out in the first round. The world of boxing is very tough and unless you make a convincing comeback, your future in the ring looks bleak

Rematch? More Like Retirement


It was billed as the ultimate rematch between two boxing greats. 40yr old Roy Jones Jr. & 44yr old Bernard Hopkins thought they had it all planned. Have a "prep" fight and then square off against each other to finally determine who the better fighter is. Hopkins, who had a 1 year layoff executed his plan perfectly, winning the match via a dominating unanimous decision against Enrique Ornelas (I was expecting him to get a KO). Jones Jr. on the other hand, an active boxer thus far got executed in the first round against IBO cruiserweight Aussie champion, Danny Green via TKO. So how did the "Fighter Of The Decade " get humiliated so badly?

Lets face it. RJJ is not improving with age. Unlike Hopkins who is, RJJ has lost some of his speed and instead of boxing with his experience (adopt a more technical, strategic & defensive approach) he tried to use the same techniques that made him a legend. Just not gonna work buddy. Physically he just doesn't have it anymore. The agility that made him great has gone, his amazing footwork that made him unpredictable has slowed down and his body has ran its course. He no longer strikes fear into opponents nor will he win any mind games.

Roy Jones Jr., you a truly a boxing superstar but I believe that it is best if you retire from boxing. You have already cemented your name in history and there is nothing more for you to prove or achieve. Before you get hospitalized, take the wise road and leave while your head is still held high.
