Boxeo!

This blog usually sticks to football, baseball and basketball. I'm going to throw boxing out there just because I know that not too many of our readers are big fight fans.

This week, Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins signed on to fight Jermain Taylor on July 16th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. For those of you that don't know (and I assume that's most of you), we may be witnessing the end of an era here. Hopkins may retire after this fight with a 47-2-1 record and an unheard-of 21 successful title defenses. That's just plain amazing! Hopkins hasn't always received the press and was never as glamorous as Sugar Shane Moseley, Felix Trinidad or Oscar De La Hoya but he's the best fighter on the planet and has been for quite some time. For those of you in the NY area, I'll be ordering this fight on PPV because a Hopkins fight is always fun to watch. He's not afraid to mix it up and he loves kicking ass. This should be a great one.

Have a good weekend.
