Boxing Bets

Don King, on Mike Tyson


"Why would anyone expect him to come out smarter?
He went to prison, not to Princeton."



"To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music
and the dancers hit each other."

Gennady Golovkin Knockouts - Gennady Golovkin vs Sergey Khomitsky


  

This is one of the better examples of GGG boxing really well.  Less of the Mexican style, all pressure fighting... seek and destroy...

GGG shows a methodical, boxer-puncher style that demonstrates his varied skills.

The sound is great because you can hear the punches!!!!  It is like being ringside.

Hugman's History of World Championship Boxing


 Hugman's History of World Championship Boxing

Boxing’s greatest historian Barry Hugman


SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL took 19 years from 1937 to 1956 to complete his four-volume masterpiece A History of the English-Speaking Peoples.

He had a good reason for taking so long because he was rudely interrupted by World War II.


But compared to Barry Hugman, the eminent boxing historian, our greatest Prime Minister wrote at breakneck speed.

Barry has just published four volumes of the definitive History of World Championship Boxing and it has taken him no less than 30 YEARS.

His monumental project begins in 1870, when boxers first wore gloves and ends in October 2016.
He was determined to produce a work that would be acclaimed worldwide.

Barry reckons that before he reached the final full-stop, he had spent nearly £500,000.

To get all the relevant information he needed, he visited every one of America’s 50 State libraries.



And Barry went so often to the biggest of them all — the Library of Congress in Washington DC — he ended up being on first-name terms with the staff. He spent days poring over newspaper cuttings and microfilm that spanned centuries and thousands of fights. The result is the most comprehensive study of every world championship battle held over 146 years.

So it isn’t surprising that the four volumes — each costing £24.99 — runs to two million words and a total of 1900 pages.

Barry, 74, is a lifelong boxing addict.

A more-than-useful amateur, he boxed for London’s Finchley ABC, the club that discovered Anthony Joshua.


Barry told me: “Though I regarded it as a labour of love, my infatuation has cost me a fortune.
“But I enjoyed every minute and to think boxing people will be using my work as a reference long after I’ve gone gives me enormous satisfaction.”
  
 
Barry Hugman’s four-volume History of World Championship Boxing is available on Amazon.

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy

From a medical standpoint, each time a fighter is hit in the head, he or she risks a brain bleed that can kill within minutes. And repeated trauma can result years later in chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or C.T.E., which can cause aggressive behavior, depression and eventually dementia.

Boxing has been my favorite sporting event for most of my life.

In view of all the discussion about sport safety, making boxing more like fencing is a way to protect amateur boxers from serious head injuries.

It is easier to promote safety than call for an outright ban of boxing as a sport like many Medical Associations suggest.
