This Just In...
According to my sources, Felix "Tito" Trinidad is officially coming out of retirement to face Nicaraguan hard punching fighter Ricardo Mayorga this coming October 2nd 2004.  The two distinguished boxers will be fighting as middleweights at 160lbs.  This fight, if it actually happens will be a great one!  Stay tuned to find out more details.













Barrera whippin' some Naz ass!
Their 1st fight was a real battle!
The Man! Julio Cesar Chavez (Too bad he didn't retire before Tszyu messed him up!)
These guys are a couple of warriors. When you look up heart in the dictionary, this is the picture that you see!
"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee"  -Ali
Hey Lennox! Watch out for that right!
Vargas wasn't so tough after this fight!
Don't be so cocky Jones, Tarver may just have your number!
Mayorga! How can you beat Forrest twice then suddenly lose to Spinks?
What will happen to Mosley now that he has lost so many times recently?
In this fight, I thought that if Tua could connect one of those bombs, down would go Lennox, instead, Tua didn't get in once on him!!
This fight right here was a nice surprise.These guys battled it out! Rematch, maybe? Hopefully!
Next Fights to watch out for:

- Juan Marquez vs. Manny Pacquiao -
May 8, 2004 will be shown on HBO @ 9:45 PM/ET

I've been anxious to see Manny fight again. He tore up my boy Barrera and now he is talking about doing the same to Eric Morales. In any case, this fight should be pretty entertaining.


-  Roy Jones Jr. vs. Antonio Tarver -
May 15, 2004 Pay-Per-View HBO @ 9:00 PM/ET

This fight promises to be interesting. In their first fight, Antonio surprised Roy with his aggressiveness, power, and speed. Hopefully Antonio will be even better prepared for this fight and we can see something interesting happen in the light heavyweight division.

This is the fight that people will start talking about soon.  DeLaHoya and Hopkins are scheduled to fight on the same card on HBO on June 5, 2004.  DeLaHoya is officially moving up in weight to 160lbs making him a Middleweight.  He will be fighting Felix Sturm of Germany who is the undefeated WBO Middleweight Champion. Sturm who apparently has had all his fights in Germany except for two which took place in Hungary, promises to "Show no respect in the ring"  He wants to see if he is good enough to beat the "best."

Hopkins will be fighting his 18th title defense and happens to hold the world record for most succesful title defenses in the Middleweight Division with 17 straight wins.  His opponent is Robert Allen from Stone Mountain, GA.  He is the IBF's #1 rated contender. 

HBO is calling these fights "On a Collission Course to Make History"  DeLaHoya plans to fight two more fights and then officially retire.  He says win or lose against Hopkins, he will hang up his gloves.  Can the Golden Boy beat the Executioner?  or is this fight going to be similiar to Hopkin's beatdown of Trinidad?  I guess we may find out by the end of this year!  Personally, I know that I am very much looking forward to this great fight!
