Bobby Benton is a trainer of world champions (O'Shaquie Foster, Regis Prograis). Yet despite success, he toils in relative anonymity in the sport. Although quiet and unassuming, he's not one to be underestimated. My column: www.saturdaynightboxing.com/2026/09/bobb...

Itauma-Hrgovic will become one of the foundational fights in how to teach boxing. It will be a warning to young prospects and a wake-up call for hotshot trainers. There is always someone who can take a punch. What do you do next? My column: www.saturdaynightboxing.com/2026/08/opin...

Xander Zayas and Boots Ennis waged a brutal war of attrition, where machismo took precedence over everything else. It was a thrilling bout and the crowd loved it. But with more maturity, will both realize that there could have been another way? My column: www.saturdaynightboxing.com/2026/06/opin...

By picking Verhoeven, Usyk signaled that he's no longer taking his career as seriously as he once did. Prior to Saturday he had talked about retirement. Now after a nightmare showing, heavyweights will be licking their chops to put him there. My column: www.saturdaynightboxing.com/2026/05/opin...

(click on link) Wardley-Dubois will be remembered for generations. It was one of those epic heavyweight clashes that was a testament to the sport at its finest. Despite years on the world stage, Dubois remains an enigma. But doubt him at your own peril. www.saturdaynightboxing.com/2026/05/opin...

Two Monsters fought on Saturday. At 33, Naoya Inoue found a way to beat both Nakatani and Father Time. And in an electric display, Benavidez showed why he's now a shot caller, one of the sport's best. And he should never fight below 200 again. My column: www.saturdaynightboxing.com/2026/05/opin...

Watched the new Sly Stone documentary last night. 6/10. The music is great of course but the lack of insight about his last 35 years was an omission. Yes, he was an addict. That's about all that was said. Also, "There's a Riot Goin on" wasn't given its due as a masterpiece.

Usyk's run at heavyweight has been unusual. Relying on one punch that's not a knockout weapon, he beats bigger and stronger men every fight. And he beats them the hard way. Older heavyweights aren't supposed to win like this. Except for Usyk. My column: www.saturdaynightboxing.com/2024/12/opin...

Great fight. Usyk had much more in the tank in the second half of the fight. A deserved winner in a really good fight.
