In Rusty's Corner | 8/26/05 - Rusty Rubin

I often get asked who my top 10 pound-for-pound fighters are. In truth it's something that I don't think about, as styles make fights, and someone I rate on top can be beaten by number 7 or even someone that isn't in my top 10.

It seemed fairly obvious from the start that Javier Castillejo wanted to hang em up. He didn't seem sharp and gave away too many of the early rounds to Fernando Vargas, who also scored a knockdown. By the time round six began there was seemingly no way for the Spaniard to catch-up.

"The Return of "El Ferroz!" | 8/20/05 - Johnny Ortiz

"Whenever you’re down and out, the only way is up, and he’ll be up like a rosebud, high on a vine, Fernando’s a little bit short of the elbow room, but let him get him some, then look out world, here he comes." Lyrical words from a Broadway play that could very well apply to the return of the "Ferocious One," Fernando Vargas.

As expected and predicted here, Hasim Rahman had little trouble in beating Monte Barrett UD12) in Chicago, and now is scheduled to get another title shot by facing the fighter most people feel is the best heavyweight out there, Vitali Klitschko.

Something far more important than the fights has come up that I want to make our readers aware of. Veteran ring announcer, good guy and good friend, Mark Beiro suffered a severe setback due to his diabetes, and we almost lost him.

The most important fight this weekend comes from St. Petersburg, Fla. Where Jeff "Left Hook" Lacy takes on Robin Reed in an important IBF super middleweight title bout. Lacy can fight, and his nickname is well earned, but in the far more experienced Reid, 38-4-1, he's facing the toughest test of his young career. Robin, from the UK has fought some of the best in his division, and his record shows that he has beaten most of them

Recently I came out of the closet and announced in this space that I was a hockey fan. One reader inquired if I'd rather watch hockey than boxing.

Same with hockey, the dullest hockey game is more exciting than most heavyweight fights. Sanction me if you will, but the truth must be told.***
