The Square Ring: by Howie Reed
6/29/07 - Howie Reed
There once was a time, every four years in fact with
the arrival of the Olympics, when fight fans actually
used to pay some attention to the amateur boxers. Some
might now make the connection between the demise of
both amateur and professional boxing. |

BEN VILLAFLOR & Mike Nixon
6/26/07 - Jim Amato
He was a buzzsaw southpaw out of the Philippines who made his mark in the early seventies. He was a boy wonder who could punch like hell. That power would make him a two time world champion.
***
If a fighter had " future champ " stamped on his forehead, Mike Nixon did. He was a smooth boxer with a good punch. He had solid skills and a lot of heart. He was a real crowd pleaser. |

The Square Ring: by Howie Reed
6/15/07 - Howie Reed
'Your Lordship, you really should clarify your remarks
about your fellow Yank, Shannon Briggs. Last week you
wrote: "Briggs' after-fight comments are what one
would expect from a low life bum." Would you like to
explain Your Lordship?' |

WORLD BOXING COUNCIL NEWS
6/2/07 - Bangkok Post
When the International Boxing Hall of Fame decided to induct Dr. Jose Sulaiman this year, I said that they were 15 years behind time. I told my boxing friends and scribes that they should have done it when Dr. Sulaiman stood boldly and took many decisions which helped promote and foster the magnificent poor man’s sport of boxing. |

In Rusty's Corner
6/1/07 - Rusty Rubin
This weekend two solid fights on the same card in Little Rock, Ark. are featured. The first pits tough Kelly Pavlik against another tough foe, Edison Miranda. It’s one of those ‘two close to call’ fights, but I’ll take Pavlik because of his height advantage, but this is far from an easy bout to call. |
