 Cocoa Kid's comeback begins...“JUST WATCH MAH SMOKE,”The Secret Journeys Of Cocoa KidINTRODUCTIONCocoa Kid was only eighteen years old when he signed to meet Connecticut’s Louis Kaplan, a former world featherweight champion with 160 professional fights. Most believed that the teenager was in too deep, too soon. Kaplan was not only a veteran -he was as relentless as nature in a news clip. He’d rush in hurling both fists at an opponent like “breakers against storm swept rocks” until a bloody towel was thrown in from the opposite corner. That’s what happened on the night he took the title and the gym rats believed it was going to happen again. Kaplan, they said, had “too... Read more...

And then after Mikey went for his second spoonful, his brothers would yell, "he likes it, he likes it." So basically Mikey was the test dummy for anything his brothers didn't want to sample. Well, that's who former welterweight title holder Ricardo Mayorga has become. Mayorga is Mikey, and you only fight him when you need a win with a little window dressing. Because you know he'll go for it.... Read more...

 Everything in life eventually gets watered down, overdone, and cheapened. Examples from this past week: If Saul Alvarez and Matthew Hatton can fight for a title, then titles mean nothing; putting “#winning” or “#tigerblood” at the end of every tweet was funny for the first day or two but painfully lame when people were still doing it a few days later; Hatton ruined the perfect ring-entrance song, “You’re The Best Around,” by deciding actually being the best around wasn’t a requirement for using it....
