"Right Cross" (1950): romantic rivalry in a boxing drama by John Sturges
2012-05-10 09:25:00 "Right Cross" (1950) directed by John Sturges stars Dick Powell as cynical sportswriter Rick Gavery and Powell's wife June Allyson as boxing manager Pat O'Malley. Subbing for her incapacitated father (Lionel Barrymore), Pat grooms prizefighter Johnny Monterez (Ricardo Montalban) for the championship. Johnny holds a grudge against the world because he feels that his Mexican heritage has made him an outcast, though curiously the audience never sees any prejudice levelled against him. Gradually, Pat falls in love with the tempestuous Monterez, while Gavery, who's always carried a torch for Pat, observes from the sidelines. The film wisely avoids the usual boxing-flick cliches, most commendably during the climactic Big Bout. With Lionel Barrymore (as Sean O'Malley): I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired and Teresa Celli as Marina Monterez.The romantic rivalry between a boxing champ and a sports writer for the love of daughter of the fighter's wheelchair bound manager.

Triple H accompanies Floyd Mayweather Jr. to the ring in Las Vegas
2012-05-07 00:03:00 Floyd Mayweather Jr. had a little extra muscle in his corner this past Saturday in Las Vegas when WWE COO Triple H ? sporting a brace and a small sling over his broken left arm ? accompanied the undefeated boxing champion to the ring for his highly anticipated bout against Miguel Cotto. The practice isn?t exactly new for the prizefighter known as ?Money,? who can often be seen with rapper 50 Cent at his side when the takes the long walk from the training room to the squared circle. But his entourage expanded considerably at the MGM Grand Garden Arena this past Saturday, when The King of Kings and singer Justin Bieber joined 50 Cent in backing WrestleMania XXIV veteran Mayweather as he took to the ring. "I've been friends with Floyd since [WrestleMania XXIV]," The Game told WWE.com reporters. "Quite frankly, I was just going to see fight, and then he sent word that he wanted to see me before the fight and asked if I wanted to walk down to the ring with him." The Game was part of a...

"Pulp Fiction" in chronological order & boxing dramas (The Set-Up, Body & S
2011-12-16 16:31:00 The legendary movie "Pulp Fiction" (1994), directed by Quentin Tarantino (starring John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman) placed into chronological order.?Tarantino works with trash, and by analyzing, criticizing, and formalizing it, he emerges with something new, just as Godard made a lyrical work of art in 'Breathless' out of his memories of casually crappy American B-movies. Of course Godard was, and is, a Swiss-Parisian intellectual?. 'Pulp Fiction', by contrast, displays an entertainer?s talent for luridness.? -David Denby, New YorkThe complex narrative organization of 'Pulp Fiction' plays with temporal sequence, so that it is difficult to understand the causal connection between events. Most jarringly, Vincent, a leading character, is killed halfway through, only to reappear and play a significant role later in the film?but earlier in the temporal sequence of events.Robert Ryan as Stoker Thompson in "The Set-Up" (1949) directed by Robert Wise.

MMA > Boxing
2011-05-18 22:54:00 Some time has passed since the latest installment of Pacquiao-mania. The "super-fight" was my first attempt at watching boxing since its last heyday, during the Tyson era. Personally, I have many fond memories of watching mega-hyped fights featuring Tyson, Holyfield, Trinidad, De LaHoya, Lewis, Roy Jones, and even Prince Naseem Hamed. During this same time I started watching MMA. At the time MMA, the UFC in particular, was a proving ground where different fighting styles would face off against one another to see which was superior. Most guys were really good at one aspect of MMA and attempted to win utilizing their strengths and avoiding their opponents strengths. MMA has evolved, boxing has not. Now boxing has had much more...

Song Of The Day - "TKO (Boxing Day)" by Elvis Costello and the At
2010-12-26 08:58:00 by Eric Berman Song Of The Day - "TKO (Boxing Day)" by Elvis Costello and the Attractions What seemed like sound production decisions made 27 years ago, do not always hold up today. Case in point is Elvis Costello's 1983 album "Punch The Clock." Featuring then-trendy production by Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley (known for their work with Madness and Dexy's Midnight Runners), the addition of a horn section in the form of the TKO Horns and female backing vocals by Afrodiziak, practically sank what was a pretty strong collection of Costello tunes. That leaves us with the tunes, including "Everyday I Write The Book," "Shipbuilding," "Mouth Almighty," "The Invisible Man," "Shipbuilding," and this song chosen more for its relationship to...

2010-07-28 05:01:00 Single Arm/Leg Balancing Presshttp://www.youtube.com/wat-ch?v=AiSIIsH-L2YThis is one example of a joint stability exercise that we have integrated into our routines at POW. July and August have had a goal of joint stability. We rotate our goals every 1-2 months. It is a challenging exercise, but I love it because it can be done in any exercise environment. It is an advanced application of the standard shoulder press. You can easily modify the angle of the pressing arm or even the type of shoulder work you do. Using a swiss ball is more difficult than a chair or stable surface. The leg on the ball should be in hip extension, not flexion. It is great for boxing, kickboxing, muay thai and MMA....

5 Overall Adjustments for MMA Fighters to their Boxing Training and Punchin
2009-09-13 01:16:00 George St. Pierre, like most Great MMA fighters has adjusted the traditional boxer's stance to a more open position, squared forward to address take down attempts, block muay thai style kicks and have the ability to shoot. 1. Your fighting stance needs to be more versitle to accommodate the threat of takedowns and kicks. Therefore your stance is more square for MMA. 2. You will rely on less head movement, which really deals with the threat of the lead jab. The lead jab isn't even in the top 5 threats to worry about in MMA. 3. Focus on drilling your power punches off takedown defenses, ground positions and with leg defenses. Your power punches serve as viable counters...
Interview with Chicago MMA Fighter Mark Miller - How to Adapt Boxing for MM
2009-08-18 19:48:00 When you ask most MMA fighters about the key components to MMA training, they testify that they are boxing, Thai kicks, wrestling defense and Brazilian jiu jitsu. Although this is rarely disputed, there are more layers to this answer than the mere practice of these 4 different sports. In fact, MMA has evolved into its own system - An American martial art system. In fact, MMA has evolved into its own system - An American martial art system.

Boxing is a Great Sport, Let's Not Forget it!
2009-08-11 20:22:00 "Boxing is a contest of will and skill, with the will generally overcoming the skill, unless the skill of one man is much greater than the skill of the other." - &-nbsp; Cus D' Amato The will of a fighter is a quality that most would agree to be inherent in a fighter's character. The skill however is a secret formula of god gifted talent and training. This skill usually begins as raw, blunt punches and clumsy footwork until it is polished by a coach who sculpts the fighter's talent and a trainer whose exercise regiment becomes a chisel that shapes the physique and presence that fighter will display the moment they step into the ring....

Floyd Mayweather Jr. Announces Retirement From Boxing
2008-06-07 03:24:00 The following news item is from ESPN.com as written by Dan Rafael. ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — After Floyd Mayweather Jr. easily outpointed Carlos Baldomir to win the welterweight championship in November 2006, he stood at the podium at the post-fight news conference and broke down in tears as he stunningly announced his retirement from boxing. Despite the emotional outpouring, few believed Mayweather was serious, rather that he had simply been overcome by the moment. As it turned out, he had been. Less than two months later, Mayweather agreed to face Oscar De La Hoya. In May 2007, Mayweather outpointed him in a fight that shattered all boxing revenue and pay-per-view records. After beating Ricky Hatton in December, plans were in motion for Mayweather-De La Hoya II to take place Sept. 20. But cross it off the schedule. Mayweather, 31, announced his retirement from boxing again on Friday in a move that appears much more serious than his impromptu declaration two years ago. The rematc... |
