Mikey Garcia vs. Adrien Broner Done for July 29
Posted: June 1, 2017 by Ismael AbduSalaam in Fight News, UncategorizedTags: Adrien Broner, Boxing, Mikey Garcia, preview, Showtime
After several weeks of rumors, former champion Adrien Broner and current WBC lightweight titlist Mikey Garcia have agreed to a junior welterweight superfight at on July 29.
Broner last competed at welterweight in February, defeating Adrian Granados by split decision. His last fight at 140 pounds was a 12th round TKO win over Khabib Allakhverdiev in October 2015. Over the last five years, he’s won titles in four different weight classes.
Garcia is coming off his world title-winning effort over Dejan Zlaticanin, who was stopped in three rounds on January 28. Junior welterweight will be a new division for Garica as he’s never weighed in over 138 pounds.
Showtime will carry the fight and made the official announcement this afternoon. A venue has not been determined.
Now this is an intriguing fight. On paper, I favor the more disciplined fighter in Garcia. With the fight in less than two months out, making 140 will be a struggle for Broner. Nonetheless, The Problem will be the bigger man and has a chance if Garcia has trouble with the power differential.
If Barclays gets this fight, I might have to make the trip.

[Video] End of the Road: Ceja Stuns Moreno with 3rd Round Stoppage
Posted: May 29, 2017 by Ismael AbduSalaam in Fight Reports, UncategorizedTags: Anselmo Moreno, Boxing, Julio Ceja, super bantamweight
Looks like we’re at the end of the road for Anselmo Moreno. Last night, the former super bantamweight title-holder meekly submitted to Julio Ceja after being floored in the third round from a right uppercut.
In years past, Moreno was able to keep fighters honest with the accuracy and snap of his southpaw straight left. It failed him yesterday as Ceja was able to get inside by the second, where he looked stronger in exchanges. Moreno’s balance began to look shaky and he was retreating to the ropes by the third. It was there that Ceja clipped him with a right uppercut for the knockdown.
Moreno was still conscious but took the 10 count on bended knee before walking to his corner.
The loss drops Moreno to 36-6-1, having lost four of his last five fights. His previous fight, a rematch with WBC bantamweight champ Shinsuke Yamanaka, resulted in a seventh-round TKO defeat.

[Video] The Final War Begins in Game of Thrones Season 7 Trailer
Posted: May 24, 2017 by Ismael AbduSalaam in Concert/Film/TV Reviews, UncategorizedTags: Game of Thrones, HBO, season 7, trailer
All the buildup is done.
Now the real war begins. If you thought your anticipation for season seven of Game of Thrones couldn’t get any higher, this breathtaking first trailer should do the trick. In a sense, the trailer probably tells us how the entire season will unfold. First we have everyone beating their chests and proclaiming why they’re the rightful heir to the throne. Then something catastrophic happens (the Walkers coming south?) that finally brings everyone to their senses in that they need to unite to bring down this other-worldy force.
Will Cersei play along? Can Jon and Dany unravel their shared history? What part will our favorite young assassin Arya have?
Some many questions and the answers begin on July 16.
