  • Excellent Opening Ceremony, On With the Olympics

    This wasn’t the martial order of Beijing, but rather a fantastic blend of everything Danny Boyle thought was worthy from British culture and then some, making the London Olympic games a success, at least on the first day, going by the brilliant (yet a bit long) opening ceremony.

  • Aftermath of the Klitschko – Thompson Title Fight

    Another heavyweight title fight, another comfortable win for Wladimir Klitschko. This time? 40-Year old Tony Thompson, who hardly produced anything of note on his second tumble in the ring with the younger Klitschko brother, winning with a sixth round knockout, retaining the WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO & Ring Heavyweight title belts.

  • Aftermath of the Pacquiao – Bradley Fight

    Manny Pacquiao landed more punches and more power shots than Timothy Bradley. According to anyone who was watching and scoring the fight, Pacquiao had won something between 8 to 10 of the rounds. It was that one sided. But the judges saw a completely different fight, and somehow, someway, decided to give the sport another terrible decision – Bradley wins, Split Decision.

  • Aftermath of the Hopkins – Dawson Title Fight

    Chad Dawson knew the 12 rounds against Bernard Hopkins were going to be tough and dirty. That’s how Hopkins fights. That’s how Hopkins has remained a Light Heavyweight champion at the age of 47. Dawson did look the bloodier of the two due to a nasty cut above his eye, but there was no doubt about the winner, the better boxer and the new WBC Light Heavyweight champion.

  • Aftermath of the Real Madrid – Bayern Munich Semi Final

    Cristiano Ronaldo was the hero for 14 minutes. The best player in the world again. But Bayern Munich were the better team through the 90 minutes, deserving more than just one goal for how they cancelled Real Madrid at home in their second leg. Justice? A Penalty shootout isn’t exactly justice. Ronaldo, only human, failed like Messi.

  • Aftermath of the Barcelona – Chelsea Semi Final

    Lionel Messi was the tragic figure on the Camp Nou pitch, while Fernando Torres was the heroic figure, maybe even redeemed. A sense of an end engulfed the stadium once again, with Guardiola’s future filled with question marks, while Chelsea and Di Matteo have problems of their own to deal with once the celebrations are over.

  • Aftermath of the Garcia – Morales Title Fight

    Erik Morales wasn’t even fighting for a title. Weighing two pounds above the allowed 140, the WBC Light Welterweight title was only for Danny Garcia to win. The 24 year old, winning his 23 fight (0 losses) since beginning his boxing career in 2007, just had more in the tank to withstand the aging legend, who must be contemplatin retirmenetn once again.

  • Clasico Losses to Barcelona Won’t Matter if Real Madrid Win Title

    Barcelona beating Real Madrid? Boring. Well not exactly boring, but nothing new about it. Messi didn’t score, Ronaldo did but disappeared shortly after, We didn’t get anything interesting from Mourinho, yet, while the dirty tactics, with Pepe incharge, were what resonated in many minds after the match.

  • Aftermath of the Ward – Froch Title Fight

    Andre Ward may not have the power the masses and PPV crowds want from a pound-4-pound king, but he’s got everything else. The American became a unified Super Middleweight champion after a unanimous decision win over Carl Froch, remaining undefeated and winning Showtime’s Super Six Boxing Classic tournament. Lucian Bute is next?

  • Aftermath of the Khan – Peterson Title Fight

    Amir Khan was the better fighter in the ring against Lamont Peterson, but it wasn’t enough. Peterson won by a more than controversial split decision, becoming the WBA and IBF Light Welterweight champion and seemingly agreeing to a rematch between the two.
