Excellent coverage and thanks for sharing about USA Today. However, your piece on Greg Haugen really meant a lot. He essentially got me into the sport. I came into it when he defeated Vinny Pazienza in the rematch. From there, I saw him defend his belt and ultimately lose it in a route to Pernell Whitaker. I want to say that it was either KO Magazine or Boxing Scene that picked Haugen to win! However, he would rebound and eventually defeat Hector Camacho, handing him his first loss. Sadly, as you wrote about, his rude comment to Julio Cesar Chavez ended his bout with that great warrior before he started.
1. The IBF is the new WBA. Loathe is the right word.
2. Boxing is weird. Why are they promoting a fight that isn’t happening until April? Make the announcement now and set up the egg throwing for early April.
Best preliminary Boxing Press Conference since Bernard Hopkins threw down the Puerto Rican Flag, in Puerto Rico! I could not have cared less about this domestic level fight before. But now I can't wait.
Cool story about your USA TODAY stint, I know how much I looked forward to your columns and your divisional rankings. Big respect for your efforts to bring boxing back to the sports page and your informative articles kept us updated before the inner web was created. 🥊🥊🥊
