On The Watch “It’s All About Manny Pacquiao vs Lucas Matthysse”

WBA Welterweight Fight of Champions

It’s official; Manny Pacquiao (59-7-2, 38 Kos) will be challenging WBA “regular” Welterweight Champion Lucas Matthysse (39-4, 34 Kos) on July 14, 2018 in Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur at the Axiata Arena.

Manny, in my eyes is out to prove to all the naysayer’s and the haters that he’s still got it despite his recent controversial loss to Jeff Horn. Hand picking Lucas Matthysse as his latest opponent proves just that. Matthysse is no slouch in that squared circle. This Dude can crack and box with the best of them while still fighting at a high level.

Real talk, this is a dangerous 50/50 fight for either combatant. At this point in their careers both are still very strong with knockout power. Their aggressive styles mesh really well and should make for a very thrilling bout.

This bout will undoubtedly be Matthysse’s most important of his career considering he will be facing an eight-time Division World Champion in Pacquiao. This also being his first defense of his recently acquired WBA “regular” Welterweight Belt.

A lot will be riding on the line here for both fighters on July 14, in Malaysia. Matthysse has earned himself a version of a title that he is not ready or willing to part ways with by any means necessary. As for Paquiao this is a must-win situation. He needs to show up and deliver a very convincing performance along with a win, if he plans on continuing to compete at this level and remain relevant in the Welterweight Division.

The momentum at this present time is on Matthysse’s side. He is the Champion. A win for him could propel his career in the Division for the future. Pacquiao requested this bout now it’s up to Matthysse to silence the “Legend” and Future Hall of Famer by successfully and convincingly retaining his title.

That being said I personally anticipate this bout to be very competitive, so tune in Saturday night July 14, 2018 from the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur, Malyasia, courtesy of ESPN.

On The Watch “It’s All About NBA PLAYOFFS 2018”

2018 NBA PLAYOFFS

Once again, this NBA Season was must watch TV from start to finish. REAL TALK!
Uncontrollable injuries and sudden surprising trades from East to West shifted the balance from good to bad depending on whom you’ve been rocking with from the jump. Whichever way you want to look at it two new faces from East to West claimed “Top Spot” at the end of this Season.

This year Eastern Conference No. 1 Seed is none other than our own Canadian Team The Toronto Raptors that finished the season with an impressive (59-23). This year The Raptors played with a different type of swag and competitive demeanor that wreaked havoc throughout the entire league. Them Boys are seriously aiming for that spot in the Finals to show the world what the North is all about. Real Talk.

The journey to the Finals won’t be a cakewalk judging by some of the new and old faces attempting to derail The Raptors on their quest. The bang-up Celtics, the young gunners of The 76ers, The Cavs and King James, The Pacers, The Heat, The Bucks and the 8th seeded Wizards all have a say in to how this Eastern Conference might play out.

Representing the Western Conference and the No. 1 Seed throughout the entire Playoffs is none other than The Houston Rockets with their imposing season of (65-17). Them Boys strait up snatched that No. 1 Spot from the Defending Champions Golden State Warriors (58-24). This year might just be theirs for the taking but judging how the West likes to roll I wouldn’t count the Defending Champs out just yet. The Warriors are walking into this year NBA Playoffs wounded but not ready to concede just yet. The Blazers, The Thunder, The Jazz, The Pelicans, The Spurs and the 8th seeded Timberwolves are all aiming to disrupt this year NBA Playoffs.

With this entire changeable outcome, I can’t wait to see that ball drop Saturday April 14, 2018 come Game Time!!

Tune In!!

On The Watch “It’s All About Erislandy Lara vs Jarrett Hurd”

Junior Middleweight Title Unification

Last night on Showtime at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vagas, I saw Erislandy Lara (25-3-2, 14 Kos) the longest reigning 154 pounder take an “L” to the heavy-handed “Swift” Jarrett Hurd (22-0, 15 Kos).

It was a very competitive bout from start to finish. Lara came out the gate with somewhat of a different approach from his usual self. You could see it in his eyes that he wanted to prove a point last night. My man stayed in the pocket “phone booth style” more than usual and bang it out with the heavy fisted Hurd.

Hurd was like a stocker in that squared circle last night. His game plan was straight and simple, seek and destroy by any means necessary. He took in some heavy shots from Lara but his pure size and brute strength was just too much for Lara to shake off. Hurd stayed on Lara’s neck throughout every round with none stop pressure until he finally achieved the “game changer” and managed to drop Lara in the 12th and final round. Real Talk until that knock down I had this fight as a draw but that left hook from Hurd sealed the deal.

Two Judges scored it 114-113 for Hurd and one Judge 114-113 for Lara. It was a hell of an impressive bout with non-stop action all the way through. Lara came to fight and showed up with the heart of a true Champion but this young Lion in Hurd just edged him out to steal that win under him.

There is a new “Top Dog” in the Junior Middleweight Division and he goes by the name of “Swiff “Jarrett Hurd. With this win he now becomes Unified Champion with the WBA, IBO and IBF under his possession. This Kid is a serious problem to all competitors in the Division.

His next quest is to be Undisputed Champion but to do that you gotta go through Jemell Charlo the WBC Junior Middleweight Champion and that ain’t no walk in the park. Real Talk!

Until then Champ enjoy your latest accomplishments cause you deserve every moment of it.

Congratulations Champ.

On The Watch “It’s All About Caleb Truax vs James DeGale”

IBF Super Middleweight Championship

Last night James DeGale (24-2-1, 14 Kos) redeemed himself at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. DeGale regained his IBF Super Middleweight Title that he lost last December to Caleb Truax (29-4-2, 18 Kos) by winning a 12 round unanimous decision.

Sh*t wasn’t pretty but his performance was much improved from his previous outing. Caleb pretty much stuck to the same game plan as the last time, aggressive pressure at all time but the difference this time is that DeGale defended in the pocket much better with better movement.

This was a do or die bout for DeGale. Win or retire. He had no other option but to come out on top on this night. He again took some heavy shots but this time he didn’t fold he kept his work rate up just enough to seal the deal.

With this win and IBF Title back in his possession, DeGale is back “On Top” but to hold on to his belt my Dude is gonna have to step his game up and sharpen up his skills on his next Title defense cause them Dudes next in line in the Division are real hungry to snatch that belt from his hands. Real Talk!

Until then congratulations on your win Champ, now stay working.
