Since I haven't posted in a bit...life is great! No matter what ups and downs I stay positive!
R.I.P. @YoPanama a fixture on the Reno airwaves. Loved hearing you and @boxingrich talking Boxing and the few times I got to chat with you at fight cards.
I'm going with Seattle tonight 20-10 but if the Patriots win it'll be proof for Vabrel's lawyers that he's not fucking around this season.

Joel Iriarte, and all modern day prospects, don't fight nearly as often as the likes of De La Hoya and Mayweather did as prospects. My latest column. You can subscribe at stevekimboxing.substack.com #boxing

This is part of what made Marvin Hagler special -- his loyalty and sense of honor. It was displayed in making the fight with Ray Leonard. Unfortunately, too many of todays fighters believe being disloyal is a necessary virtue. There will never be another Hagler #boxing
Athough I don't like a rail horse in a crowded field. I am going with #1 Renegade as my top pick. I also like the chances of #6 commandment and #18 Further Ado. Three longshots I may put something on is #8 So Happy, #15 Emerging Market and a mystery longshot #7 Danon Bourbon. #KD

old school discipline....Approved
A 56-year-old teacher in Arkansas, Tracy Matthews, has been arrested and charged with aggravated assault after a classroom incident was caught on camera.
It all started when a student said, "Bruh, I don’t have a computer."
Matthews replied, "I’m not your bruh, I’m your sir."
The student then sealed his fate by saying, "My bad, lil bruh."
According to the police report, that's when Matthews snapped. He allegedly grabbed the student, pushed him against a desk, followed him out of the room, and then choked him against a wall until it was hard for him to breathe.

When you sacrifice and focus on your career, a day like today makes it all worth it! Congrats @CoachCoriClose The passion that you show is inspiring!

This amendment to the Ali Act doesn’t go well for the fighter. If you’re not going to listen to @oscardelahoya or others, hear it from the guy that spoke up about it the first time around. #onemoreround #stitchduranisalwaysyourfriend

In a 11-month stretch in 1989-90, Mike McCallum fought Herol Graham, Steve Collins and Michael Watson -- all in their backyards basically. They don't make fighters or careers like this any more.
Meanwhile, today's boxers have excuses for why they don't fight that much any more by the fans and those in charge. For the most part, fighters are not forged any more, and the game suffers for it

Buyer beware about @VividSeats they are a secondary market, got tickets months ago for a show I was taking my Son to on Friday. They Inform me today, two days before the event that my tickets are no longer valid. First and last experience. Look on my Son's face is upsetting.

“This one is a special one for me. James Prince has been my manager for my entire professional career. Me and Prince connected when I was heavy in the streets and done with boxing. Prince always talked to me more about life than he did boxing and that was the difference for me.”

MGM laying off all concierge staff at all Vegas resorts except Aria and Bellagio; closing buffet at Excalibur, parking staff reductions due to lower visitor counts and demand.

I think marijuana is the most insidious of drugs. It is legal in many states, is socially acceptable to many and is relatively easy for kids to hide, access and consume (vape, gummies etc).
But the science is beginning to tell a very ugly story.
We should have never legalized it. But now that it is, I hope we do something to mandate standard toxicity and concentration labeling at a minimum. This stuff is turning a plurality of our kids into zombies.

The Washoe County School District (WCSD) has opened the application period for its "School of Choice" program, allowing families to apply for their children to attend a school outside their designated zone for the 2025-26 academic year. mynews4.com/news/local/washo…

So you want to tell me all those who’ve been hating on @Gervontaa for the last 9 years. Each time for something else. All the sudden are yelling as loud as they can, that he did not beat Roach. Kobe told me once “they don’t hate the good ones they hate the great ones.”
Boxing fans are short term memory... A week ago @ShakurStevenson would get ran over by Tank. Now Tank can't mess with Shakur... You're only as good as your last performance. I've consistently said Shakur over Tank.
