Hey there fight fans and underdogs everywhere, my name is Geovanny and I am a major boxing fan, lover of life, observer of the human condition, both spectator and participant of the human race. I will be using this blog to focus on this little sport that I love called BOXING. I have a fantasy that I want to make reality and that is to bring boxing back to its former prominence by putting it back into the mainstream consciousness of sports where it belongs. For far too long it has taken a back seat to other games that have been labeled sports by major sports media.I'm talking about golf, poker, pool/billiards, etc., these activities are covered far more extensively than boxing and this just shouldnt be. It drives me nuts to no end when a so called sports expert refers to Tiger Woods as a 'warrior' for having braved the hot sun to 'battle' out a win while ignoring Arturo Gatti and Mickey Ward fighting for their life under the hot lights, or Larry Holmes going 15 rounds to win his first championship with a torn bicep, or Muhammad Ali swallowing a pint of his own blood due to a broken jaw and still finishing his 15 round fight with Ken Norton, Israel Vasquez and Rafael Marquez spilling their blood in their trilogy, and Manny Pacquiao rampaging through men far bigger than he. Golfers get driven by golf cart and their gear is carried by a caddy. Golfers...warriors? Please. On occasion I will also use this blog to expound on my views in general but for the most part it will be used to promote the sport of boxing. I will post articles reviewing fights, promoting upcoming fights and hopefully interviews with boxing people. So I think the best way to begin is with my review of boxing in 2009.
