CALZAGHE - KESSLER CLASH

It was announced that the top two Super Middleweights in the world will face off on Novermber 3rd in Cardiff Wales. This is the fight fans have been waiting for and I thought it would never get done. I figured it would be too easy and too enticing for Calzaghe to meet up with bigger name opponents for bigger money(Bernard Hopkins, Jermain Taylor). I love this fight! These are two undefeated, PROVEN fighters, laying it all on the line for the fans(I'm sure they're making a pretty penny too, but I like to think they're doing this for me). There's no doubt in my mind that Millennium Stadium will be sold out, the fight will not disappoint, and I will be ordering wings. (The wings will be washed down with Moosehead of course). I will not give a prediction till we get closer to the fight, instead I have decided to list five other fights I feel have to get made.

5. RICKY HATTON vs. PAULIE MALIGNAGGI
Everyone is talking about Hatton taking on Mayweather, I would prefer to see him take on Malignaggi first. Ricky is a straight ahead in your face brawler, while Paulie is a slick boxer. I would like to see which would prevail between these two. If "The Hitman" gets past "The Magic Man" then I'd would say he is ready for Mayweather. I enjoyed the Cotto-Malignaggi fight and I think this one could be similar. Not only that, both Hatton and Malignaggi are funny guys, I bet the press conference would be as entertaining as the fight!



4. SHANE MOSLEY vs. MIGUEL COTTO
This fight is very possible now that Paul Williams beat Antonio Margarito over the weekend. I was actually rooting for Williams so that this fight could happen. I would love to see these two superstars square off, power vs. speed. Would Cotto be able to break down "Sugar Shane" the same way he has everyone else in his path? Would Shane's speed and experience overwhelm the young star? The hype for this fight would amazing, and unlike Mayweather-Delahoya I think this one would deliver in the end.



3. MANNY PACQUIAO vs. JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ II
In their first fight it looked like it would be an early night for the "Pacman" as he knocked down Marquez three times in the first round. As the fight went on Marquez starting putting rounds in the bank, and would eventually come back to get the draw. Both fighters have improved, and moved up a weight class since then. I think the fight would be all fireworks and would probably set up a third fight no matter who comes out with the win.



2. CHAD DAWSON vs. GLEN JOHNSON
"Bad" Chad Dawson is one fast rising young star in a division full of old men. I would love to see how Dawson handles the constant pressure from the "Road Warrior". I think eventually Chad could move up to Cruiserweight or even heavyweight and make some noise, but I would like to see him clean up the Light Heavies first. I think he should start with Johnson and move on to Clinton Woods and perhaps even send Roy Jones into retirement.



1. THE BRYGUY vs. MARK PHILIPPOUSSIS
This one would be a fight for the ages, and done out of shear jealousy. I hated Mark "The Playa" Philippoussis when I heard about his dating show Age of Love(a.k.a Cougers vs. Kittens). This guy doesn't need any help getting women, why hand him thirteen to pick from? Not only that, in episode three "The Playa" sent home my favorite Coug Lynn and my second favorite kitten, Adalaide. As if I wasn't angry enough after that, it seems my all around favorite Megan is destined to be voted off soon as well. Philippoussis needs to stopped and I'm just the guy to stop him. Also once he is out of the way I would like to start my own dating show called "Age of The Bryguy". What you think? That would work right?

Exclusive Interview with Zab Judah

The Bryguy and his accomplices caught up with former undisputed Welterweight champion Zab Judah recently. He was preparing at Gleasons Gym for an upcoming fight against Ruben Galven on April 13th. We asked him about his layoff, his next opponent, and the potential mega-fight with Miguel Cotto. Of course The Bryguy also got a pic(coming soon).

you've had a long layoff tell us how that's been and talk about you're upcoming fight.

ZJ: The layoff, one year out, of all it was a negative thing to happen. I turned a negative in to a positive you know what I mean? I let my body heal.... after you heal the wound becomes what? Good again, I'm back and the wound is good again.

Obviously every fight is big for you, but how do you not look past this fight to Miguel Cotto?

ZJ:I have a fight scheduled before Miguel Cotto which is April 13th. You can't look past that fight because if you look past that fight there is no Miguel Cotto fight. You know what I'm saying? So you gotta take it one fight at a time. Right now... yeah Miguel Cotto is in the back of my head, but right now I'm focused on April13th, which is Ruben Calvan and right now I'm looking forward to him, I can't wait, I think it's gonna be great.

Judah vs. Cotto how big is this gonna be for your career and for your legacy?

ZJ:I think it's great because it's gonna show my versatility. You know what I'm saying? It's gonna show that I had bad things and negative things done to me,but I came right back to be the champion that I am. A lot of people can't do that. You got guys that win a title one time by mistake and they never get back again, ever again because they don't belong with it. I've lost titles, won titles, lost titles, won titles...so I mean I think I'm at a different era in my life.... I really know what I want to do now. I'm focused and this time around...I just think they made a big mistake putting a young Miguel Cotto, unseasoned against "super" Zab Judah.

Could you talk about the atmosphere here at Gleason's Gym and why it is such a shrine in the sport of boxing.

ZJ:I've been here since I was six years old. I've accomplished all my great things in boxing, I accomplished it right here. Golden Gloves championships, to the olympics, to turning professional, to winning state titles, world titles, undisputed titles, I did it all right here at Gleason's Gym. I think it's such a great place to be at as far as boxing because of the atmosphere. It's a brutal place, I must say that it's a brutal place. We have some brutal days in here where people get beat up bad here, but one thing about Gleasons Gym, You're gonna learn. Everybody here is a family. I've known guys here for over twenty something years...and we see each other everyday. So it's almost like a marriage, it's a beautiful thing though. I'm happy, I wouldn't go no wear else.
