Those who know me, know that I don’t use the Internet. No email. Nothing. And I don’t plan on starting anytime soon. But now, thanks to my kids, I’m on Twitter. I'll use this platform to share my thoughts, when appropriate, on #boxing & beyond. No agenda. No oversight. Just me.

Split decision???? Please take away that judge’s license, and never allow him near a score card again!! #UsykJoshua2 #boxing

I say you’re not in a fight until there’s something to overcome. So Dustin Poirier overcomes a 2-0 lead by Hooker to win a brutally tough fight. No shock; a ‘Diamond’ is made withstanding pressure. Congrats 👊 @DustinPoirier 💎 #UFC #ufcfightnight

When you hear me scream about bad judging and need policing, and wonder why, look at this picture of judge during boxing tonight on ESPN. He’s texting. Sick. Incomprehensible.

If you wanted to know what a Champion looks and behaves like Miocic, showed you that for the past 5 years. Tonight he showed how a Champion goes out, Heart and Class. Champ Forever. #UFC260

Someone told me that Dave Moretti gave 10th round to Haney, if that’s true he should be brought in front of Commission to explain. #HaneyLoma

No, I don’t think it was all an act, but I do think in a way Ryan needed the craziness to get to the ring—and once there—he was bigger, faster, and stronger.
Crazy thing in crazy night is Garcia only fought in certain rds. and spots. And that actually served him. It made Haney get false sense security & caught by surprise at times. Haney’s approach not what it usually is. Walked in, no jab, looking for big shots. That’s not him, not his style. To steal term from Floyd, they thought it would be easy money.

I have always favored the 1930s- 1960s, 1970s-1980s, as Boxing’s best. But Inoue would have fit with greatest of any era. He’s the full package, which consists of: speed, power, smarts, technique, brains, instinct, timing, and controlled ferocity. Simply Special.

Fury was better in this 1, but so was Usyk. Fury threw jabs & 1 or 2 punches at time, Usyk threw 4& 5 punch combinations & pushed forward. Judges had right. #Usyk2Fury

What else could happen? You had an active top Boxing Heavy Wt. vs. an old retired former UFC Champion. Ridiculous. #TriadCombat #Triller

He has the physical ingredients to ‘cook’ up an upset, question now is can he actually ‘serve’ them. Bring to Table.

At the end of the day yes Wilder got beat, and maybe exposed, but most important is that he’s okay. And I believe one of his trainers, Mark Breland, is responsible for that. So haters aside for a minute, I just want to say thank you Mark. @MarkBreland #WilderFury2 #WilderFury

We knew Askren was not a striker but unfortunately didn’t have basics like don’t push jab and make sure to cover after punch. Credit to Paul for knowing basics; counter with a right over slow left. #TrillerFightClub #TrillerFight

That’s why whether boxing or MMA you don’t pull straight back from punches. Ngannou doesn’t have form of Joe Louis, but like Deontay Wilder in boxing, power can make up for many faults. #UFC249

Been saying forever difference with MMA is u don’t get navigated to a clean record, u fight to a dirty one, but one that can stand the heat, one that has been forged in the steel of battle. One that gave Eddie an asbestos suit. 👊🔥👑 @Ealvarezfight
This sport is not Boxing and I hope it never becomes boxing . An undefeated record is as good as the opposition faced . I’d rather have a true and honest .500 record than a Questionable Flawless one . Mma is the last honest sport We have left . Keep it that way

Why do we have a paid commission, if dangerous mismatches like the Estrada - Adkins fight on DAZN are sanctioned? Why not just do it in street or backyard? Concussions have no preference. Bad!

Another tremendous UFC fight last night, and with all the risk and challenges that make the sport great, one should be removed. Time to cover fingers. Don’t need blind warriors.👊 #UFC252
Daniel Cormier suffered a torn cornea last night, Cormier told me this morning. No timetable yet for recovery. Doctors said he won’t need surgery just yet but they have to monitor how it heals before knowing for sure. He was discharged from the hospital late Saturday night.
