Its now been realised that boxers' activity, and specifically the total amount of sparring done during a career - which increases with the number of fights, is connected to the brain maladies experienced by boxers during their retirement years.

It's a complex topic that's probably not as simple as it appears to us fans.

So after his management's cut Diaz got about $275K BEFORE tax etc., no wonder he was pissed in the post-fight interviews.

Although I'm glad that Rakhimov is getting another crack at the title I'm not so glad that it's against Kenichi Ogawa who tested positive for two forms of androstanediol after the Farmer fight - also how Ogawa got to be ranked #3 with the IBF is anybody's guess.

So true about fighter activity. Canelo is setting up his year to possibly fight four times.

Is there truth to the rumor, that Jo Jo might’ve purposely came in overweight as an out for his GBP contract?
