The Best of BoxingWriter.co.uk. The Best of BoxingWriter.co.uk. Behind the smile: Ali Nuumbembe. If it’s true that boxing sold its soul to television networks a generation ago, eagerly snatching pay-per-view’s 30 pieces of silver and prostituting itself on the behest of an array of clandestine figures and their grubby titles. The story of Ali Nuumbembe. Pugilistic Dementia: Something old, something new? Is Bill the sole voice of reason? Witter, Woodcock and the world title that never was. The WBC Light-W...

Wladimir Klitschko, dominance and the burden of proof
https://boxingwriter.co.uk/2014/01/27/wladimir-klitschko-dominance-and-the-burden-of-proof
The Best of BoxingWriter.co.uk. Wladimir Klitschko, dominance and the burden of proof. Posted by David Payne. January 27, 2014. January 28, 2014. Neither hit the Ukrainian. On the current trajectory and with a review of the emerging heavyweights complete, the clashes with the rolling Nigerian, Samuel Peter, may prove as close as Klitschko gets to finding his ‘Joe Frazier’. Some wise judges have grown to admire and respect this dominance. Weary of apportioning blame for lopsided points decision victor...

Tribute Wear

The Best of BoxingWriter.co.uk. BoxingWriter.co.uk Tribute Wear. As regular readers will doubtless have noticed, I’ve designed a range of tribute clothing capturing and celebrating the careers of former and current greats, and those a little further from the headlines. Items are made to order and manufactured to high standards, usually disapatched within 48 hours and thus far feedback has been very positive on the quality and service extended to customers. As new designs are added weekly. Gutsy Loved it&...

Boxing: “Just wave Joe, you’re beautiful baby. God bless ya champ.”

The Best of BoxingWriter.co.uk. Boxing: “Just wave Joe, you’re beautiful baby. God bless ya champ.”. Posted by David Payne. January 10, 2014. December 9, 2015. Too few have the wisdom and foresight to resist the public or personal clamour to continue or, worst still, return. Great, good and those no more than game very rarely depart from boxing on their own terms, and if they do, they are frequently drawn back. Invited or not. Of Lennox’s contemporaries, all of whom shared unimaginable wealth durin...

Boxing: March of Time for Light-Welter and Welterweight veterans

The Best of BoxingWriter.co.uk. Boxing: March of Time for Light-Welter and Welterweight veterans. Posted by David Payne. March 22, 2012. March 30, 2012. It strikes me as strangely poetic that three of the most significant fighters of their generation should all be pursuing relevance and redemption this weekend. Erik Morales. And lastly Castillo, who looked jaded 5 years ago against Ricky Hatton. How else would Jose Luis Castillo. Alongside standard deductions cut deep into his 250,000 purse. I digress, t...

The Best of BoxingWriter.co.uk. Boxing: Audley Harrison. The importance of the man who wouldn’t be king. Posted by David Payne. March 30, 2015. March 30, 2015. A lion, on a high, shaded rock. Marvellous Marvin, softened by time but recognisable still, smiled, shook an outstretched hand or two while keeping pace with the flanking television runners. The ring, barely registering interest but for the vested partisans or those with a pencil and notebook, stretched and whinnied to the ebb and flow of acti...

Boxing: DeMarcus gets the Corley never expected; disappointing for McCloskey

The Best of BoxingWriter.co.uk. Boxing: DeMarcus gets the Corley never expected; disappointing for McCloskey. Posted by David Payne. April 13, 2012. April 13, 2012. On May 5th, even as a late replacement, should provide dénouement to that honeymoon period. I don’t deny DeMarcus Corley has been a competent fighter at the weight in the past. He has shared a ring with some of the best prizefighters of his generation in Floyd Mayweather. He lost to all of them. His recent victory of the unbeaten Gabriel Brac...

Undercard: R.I.P. Genaro Hernandez
http://bwundercard.blogspot.com/2011/06/rip-genaro-hernandez.html
Friday, June 10, 2011. It is an unfortunate truth that, for as much as we appreciate our prizefighters while they are in the ring, such appreciation tends to fade in the years that follow, returning only once they are truly and permanently gone. Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Spoke to promoter Bob Arum, who said:. Dan Rafael of ESPN.com. Spoke with Hernandez's broadcast partner, Rich Marotta:. Steve Kim of MaxBoxing.com. CompuBox ended its tribute to Hernandez on BoxingScene.com with this fitting conclusion. Send ...
