Learning from Manny Pacquiao
Despite all of my frustrations with the state of boxing, I set all of the stigmas of the sweet science and it’s many arrogant personalities aside to enjoy the game and personality of Pambansang Kamao, the great Manny Pacquiao. There are boxers who display the traits that we want in any athlete, in any fighter, and Manny is one of those athletes. A professional record of 49-3-2 is amazing, but after posting his victory last night against Ricky Hatton, I realized that there is something… (Full Story)

A Feigned Outcry Across the Pacific
In Rupert Murdoch’s home nation of Australia, the media seems to be lost to the very concept, that central axiom on which FOX News was founded. “Fair and balanced,” it seems, the Australian media is not, at least with respect to MMA. Whether you are Australian or not, there is something to be said for misrepresentation. When an article claims to present an accurate representation of MMA (or at least implies the idea by virtue of claiming journalistic credibility) and inserts a clip of… (Full Story)
Calzaghe vs. Jones: A Study in Why I’m an MMA Fan
I have a lot of friends who love boxing. I have a lot of fans that think pugilism is the absolute pinnacle of athletics. I sat down with a handful of them to watch the fight last night and I have to say, it made a point that I had been trying to make for a long time. Boxing fans call this fight a domination, and it was. After the second round, it was impossible to deny that Calzagne was putting on a clinic, but when I watch these boxers, I cannot help but get a little bored. It has… (Full Story)
Jim Rome Blasts EliteXC
ESPN has been accused of avoiding the MMA rage, but they are slowly coming around. They now have an MMA show on ESPN.com and after the announcement of Brock vs. Randy the two were everywhere. One of the things that makes ESPN the world wide leader is the great mix of personalities around the network. Colin Cowherd to Scott Van Pelt, they all have different but interesting views. Another one of these charismatic hosts is Jim Rome. Rome is known for his ability to get under the athletes skin… (Full Story)
How to Catch a Giant
It is no question that the UFC is a giant in terms of the size and strength of their company, especially compared to the other MMA organizations around the world. Many have tried to reap in the benefits of the fastest growing sport in the world but have failed. The IFL at one time promised to provide a new and exciting team style of the sport, they failed! Those that didn’t fail seem to fall under the pressure of money, and sell out such as the old school Pride organization. At this point in… (Full Story)
