HATR – Monday, June 17th
LOS ANGELES, CA – It was a good weekend for us citizens of Boxingland. Coming off a full weekend of action filled fights, our hunger for the sweet science was satiated quite nicely with cards on HBO, Showtime and NBC Sports. Today is the start of a new week so let’s see what’s been Heard Around The Ring (HATR) this Monday. Andre Ward Looking For A New Home BoxingScene.com is reporting that super middleweight Champion Andre Ward is taking legal action to dissolve his relationship with current promoter Dan Goossen, his promoter since turning pro. Rumor has it that the two are currently on the outs and Ward wants to make the move to Top…

Mikey Garcia Punishes JuanMa For 4th Round TKO
DALLAS, TX – Although the purse was six figures smaller and the title belt no longer in his stead, Mikey Garcia remained focused and defeated Juan Manuel Lopez in the fourth round Saturday in Dallas on HBO. Entering the match with a proverbial dark cloud over his head, Garcia failed to make the division weight limit Friday when he weighed in at 128 pounds, two pounds over the featherweight limit. Appearing drawn and weakened, watchers questioned his ability to defeat the power punching Lopez. That all changed once he entered the arena Saturday night. Garcia, the clear fan favorite, wasted no time getting to work from the opening bell. Landing the jab effectively, he staggered…

Jennings Wins By TKO, Still Undefeated
BETHLEHEM, PA – On Friday night, courtesy of NBC Sports, heavyweight Bryant Jennings (now 17-0) kept his undefeated record in tact by defeating Andrey Fedosov by TKO in the 6th round. In his toughest match up to date, Fedosov walked Jennings down and banged away at the mid section. Taking Jennings out of his usual stalk and strike strategy, Fedosov was able to walk Jennings down and batter him again the ropes. Thanks in no small part to his superior conditioning, Jennings withstood multiple monster blows downstairs and delivered his own punishment upstairs. With his almost 10 inch reach advantage, Jennings utilized the jab and superior hand speed to deliver combos and battered Fedovsov’s face….

Bernard Hopkins vs Karo Murat Fight Off
BROOKLYN, NY- Looks like Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins won’t have to do battle this time around with father time. As reported by BoxingScene.com, the upcoming match between Bernard Hopkins and Karo Murat has been cancelled due to Murat running into issues obtaining a Visa to enter the United States. This fight was scheduled to take place on July 13th at the Barclays Center. Murat reportedly is appealing the decision but as those of us who’ve ever had to deal with any type of governmental issue, the process is way too long and has zero chance of being resolved before fight time. Instead of finding a replacement opponent, the entire card has been cancelled. Before signing…

RIP: Roger Ebert 1942-2013
CHICAGO, IL – Long time movie reviewer Roger Ebert succumbed to cancer today at the age of 70. Best known for his show “At the Movies with Siskel and Ebert” he became a household name and the go to guy when choosing your weekend box office selection. Ebert was also the first journalist to win a Pulitzer Prize for movie criticism. Ebert, who had been a film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times since 1967, died early Thursday afternoon at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, his office said. He had announced on his blog Wednesday that he was undergoing radiation treatment after a recurrence of cancer. To read a detailed account of his life and accomplishments by…
When Keep It Real Goes Wrong – UK Edition
SHEFFIELD, UK – I love twitter. It gives a voice to the voiceless, a platform to the those without one and the ability for the small business man to promote himself on larger scale for nothing. By the same token, not every person needs a platform to voice their innermost thoughts on. It’s created a culture of passive aggressive group thinkers who’d rather take the “throw a rock, hide you hand” approach instead of being adult and addressing someone directly. UK fighter Curtis Woodhouse lost the title to Shane Singleton on Friday night so the last thing he wanted he to read was the hapless comments of the non-fighting social media world. One poster, ’Jimmyob88′, harassed…
The Elisa Lam/Hotel Cecil Mystery **Updated** (Video)
LOS ANGELES , CA – updated 2/20/2013 Added to this post is the video of Elisa Lam acting suspiciously in an elevator within the hotel. LAPD reported she was suffering from depression. 2/19/2013 Where are Benson and Stabler when you need them? Residents at the Cecil Hotel, a hotel known for having a dark, sordid past, located in downtown Los Angeles, were going about their day to day lives when they noticed a change in the water pressure. Since the Cecil (built in 1920) is an older building, there was no real cause for alarm. We all know older homes are known to have aches and pains from time to time and typical with older…

[Video] Riddick Bowe Beat Down Muy Thai Style
THAILAND – 45 year old former heavyweight champion Riddick Bowe made his return to the ring in Thailand this past weekend to compete in a Muy Thai event style against Levgen Golovin and it was ugly from the beginning to the end. Bowe, who was last in the ring nearly 5 years ago against Gene Pukall and 3 years before that against Billy Zumbrun, showed up sloppy, overweight, and ill prepared. Although both of his previous recent bouts resulted in a win, that’s two fights in 8 years in a sport he once reigned supreme in. Muy Thai isn’t that sport. A clearly out of shape Bowe found himself getting brutalized over and over by leg…
[Video] Oakland Leaves 2 Chainz w/ No Chainz
OAKLAND, CA – With all due respect to my Oakland contingency, your town just isn’t very safe. It’s rather ironic I fell this way since I live in Inglewood. As you know, we are always up to no good. The latest victim of Bay Area mishaps is rapper 2 Chainz. TMZ, in it’s infinite dominion, obtained the tape of the gunpoint robbery. Pull your pants up 2 Chainz. smh
[Video] Shaq Outdone By Trick Shot Baby
LOS ANGELES, CA- If you are a fan of basketball and have regularly watched the NBA over the last 20 years, you have witness the epic failure of Shaquille O’Neal’s free throw shooting first hand. Whether it was Orlando, Los Angeles or Miami, the big Shaq-Fu was incapable of delivering in the free throw department. By doing so, teams would regularly foul him down the stretch in close games with the almost certainty he would miss the free throws thus coining the term ‘Hack-a-Shaq’. But hey, he says he would “make em when it counts.” Well last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Shaq’s non-free throw shooting legacy was diminished even further when he was matched…
Video: Will Smith & Guests Musical Medley
LONDON, ENGLAND – Forgive me if I’m late, but hey, I live stateside and I’m generally not tuned into the BBC programming. This came across my desk and I had to share. Enjoy Will and Jaden Smith’s plus special guests and their recent visit to the Graham Norton Show.
Funnier? Miguel: The Clothesline Or The Commentary
LAS VEGAS, NV – While the visual of R&B Singer Miguel clotheslining a rabid fan at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards is hilarious since he thought he was a rockstar for a moment in time, the commentary is even funnier. Of all the clips of Miguel acting like Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka, this one is by far the funniest just because of the man’s commentary.
Beyonce Presents: La Fway (by Bad Lip Reading)
WHO KNOWS, USA – At the risk of incurring the ire of Beyonce Stans world wide, I had to share.This was passed along to me recently and I laughed so hard, I wept.

Turn your speakers up, keep your eyes on her lips and enjoy, “La Fway.”
Top Chef Killed Over Meal in Germany
SYLT, GERMANY – Sunday night on the German island of Sylt, Japanese chef Miki Nozawa was killed when a fight broke out when he was approached by two disgruntled customers he served earlier that day. The meal that caused the ruckus was a dish of fried noodles with beef and vegetables. You Nozawa, Chef Nozawa’s ex wife claimed her ex-husband recently faced racist taunts, including being called a “gook.” She also told German newspaper Sylter Rundschau that her husband died of “severe brain injuries and internal bleeding” he sustained during a Sunday night altercation To read the full story, click here. I have no comment, this is just sad and ridiculous. What has humanity come to?

SANTA ANA, CA – Happy wife, happy life. Unhappy wife and your penis goes out with last week’s uneaten left-overs.

According to reports, Kieu drugged her husband and while under, severed his penis and threw it in the garbage disposal. She’s scheduled to be sentenced on June 28th. Lorena Bobbitt is so old fashioned. To read the full story courtesy of USA Today, click here.
VIDEO: Obama Slays AGAIN At White House Correspondent’s Dinner
WASHINGTON DC – Love him or hate him, The POTUS, Barack Obama, is a funny man with pretty decent comedic timing. This year’s White House Correspondents dinner was no exception. In case you missed it, here’s the video with his keynote speech. Did he really cut off the Presidential music and throw on “All I do is Win” ?
10 Foods To Survive the Zombie Apocalypse
Since The Walking Dead finale is tonight, I thought i’d bring this one back. Remember, you can’t go to In-N-Out if the Zombies are outside. As I’ve seen my twitter TL, and Facebook feed inundated with talk of the hit series, The Walking Dead, I started thinking about my own zombie apocalypse preparation. Since I am in fact greedy, the first thing I thought of was food. What good is food without water but like I said, I’m greedy. I started to look around to see which canned food would be best to have on hand other than peanut butter and here’s some pictures of what I discovered. Would you come over and have zombie…

Kobe Rather Be Remembered as a Winner
LOS ANGELES, CA – Wouldn’t we all. I wish I could say all I do is win…and mean it. The always polarizing Kobe Bean Bryant once again manages to make people mad and influence them at the same time. This time he’s catching heat for recent comments made during an interview with ESPNLA this week. During the interview Bryant said he’d, “…rather be remembered for being a winner than a good team mate.” That’s not really ground breaking news. We’ve seen him play and are aware of his struggles when it comes to sharing the ball. But in his defense, he goes on to explain his statement. “When you win, you share it. Everybody is…
Phil Jackson’s Advice to Mike D’Antoni
LOS ANGELES, CA – The Zen Master has some advice for Mike D’Antoni. During an interview Wednesday on ESPN’s radio program “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” Jackson said, “I would find one of my assistant coaches to work with me to help them just as quickly as possible because I know what they need. I think they need to get back inside, where the strength of their team is and use that presence in there to dominate games. I think there is a way to do that.” Jackson was on the show to promote his new book, “Eleven Rings: The Soul of Success,” but of course he’s never going to sit down to an interview and…
Worst Mother’s Day Ever: Bryant Feud Heats Up
CAMDEN, NJ – And you thought your Mom was demanding when she used to tell you to pick your stuff up off the floor. I bet you’re glad Pamela Bryant isn’t your mother. Mama Mamba needs a little more cash to spend. As I’m sure you’ve heard in recent reports, Bryant’s mother Pamela attempted to auction off some of the future Hall of Famer’s childhood sports memorabilia. Bryant took exception to the transaction and got a court injunction to block the activity. Mama Mamba is claiming Bryant lied to the judge and the items in question are her property. She insists her son gave her the items, which includes jerseys, trophies and rings from his high…
Lakers Swept Bringing Sad Season to End
LOS ANGELES, CA – I’m a Laker fan. I don’t care if you aren’t. I don’t care who your team is. I don’t and won’t waste my time hating on them. They aren’t worth my emotion, because I am a Laker fan. I am a born and raised citizen of Los Angeles, California right on the boarder of Inglewood. Running distance from the Forum (I’ve run there and back on a Saturday morning, it’s about 3.5 miles). I live a short car drive from the Staples Center, when the traffic acts right which is never. I am a LAKER fan. Not a band wagon fan, not a Kobe fan but a Laker fan. But make no…
Lakers Clinch The 8th Seed, Creep Into Playoffs
LOS ANGELES, CA – Well, Kobe DID promise a playoff birth. He didn’t say it would be pretty. The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Houston Rockets in Overtime 99-95 to clinch the Western Conference 8th seed and make it to post season play. After an inspired win in San Antonio on Sunday, and a loss by the Utah Jazz (care of the Memphis GrizzliesWednesday night) on Wednesday, the Los Angeles Lakers clinch the 8th seed and creep into the post season. An amazing feet after a tumultuous regular season wrought with coaching changes, injuries, and capped with the season ending torn achilles of Kobe Bryant. No one wants to see the Mamba injured but the heroics…
