Avila Perspective Chap. 56: Pacquiao – Thurman Notes and More
Avila Perspective Chap. 56: Pacquiao – Thurman Notes and More
Once upon a time the name Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao struck fear in the boxing world as he ransacked whole divisions like a modern-day Attila the Hun. That's no longer the case.
Today, an army of welterweights line up with hands stretched high hoping to be picked like so many suitors for a high school prom.
Keith "One Time" Thurman (29-0, 22 KOs) was the lucky guy personally hand-picked by Pacquiao (61-7-2, 39 KOs) to meet at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Saturday, July 20. FOX pay-per-view will televise the battle for the WBA welterweight world title.
Could this be the final date for Filipino Senator Pacquiao?
Hollywood loves a comeback story and seldom has anyone overcome as many obstacles as the diminutive southpaw speedster from General Santos City in the Philippines.
Pacquiao arrived on the professional boxing circuit in January 1995. No one could foresee that the 5-foot 5-inch flyweight would first conquer the 112-pound flyweight division in 1998, and then embark on a fistic journey that would result in capturing world titles in eight weight divisions.
You would need to be Nostradamus.
When you think of a flyweight eventually invading the heavier weight divisions and eventually conquering the super welterweights it makes analysts think that he just might be the greatest prizefighter of all time.
Time and age have worn down the speed that enabled Pacquiao to run circles around Antonio Margarito on his way to snatching the super welterweight title from the Mexican slugger in November 2010. Time also eroded the strength that allowed him to annihilate Ricky Hatton for the super lightweight world title in May 2009. It was also the last win by knockout for Pacman until he stopped Lucas Matthysse a year ago.
Now he tests what remains of those gifts that separated him from mortal men.
Thurman seems giddy about his opportunity to fight a living legend. The Florida prizefighter who resembles the late actor Ron O'Neal of the 1970s film "Superfly," seemed downright ecstatic. He also views his match against Pacquiao as somewhat of an afterthought; that a victory over Pacquiao is as predictable as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west.
"He's in trouble," said Thurman with a chuckle. "I'm not going to run away from this rabbit."
Thurman, like Pacquiao, no longer knocks out opponents let alone with one punch as his nickname "One Time" signifies. He's a boxer who can punch and no longer a puncher who can box. Still, he's only 30 years old facing a fighter who has a decade's more worth of wear and tear from punches absorbed from sparring and fighting.
It's been four years since Thurman ended a fight before the final bell. The last opponent he sent into the ozone was Luis Collazo on July 2015. But, of course, injuries and other matters kept Thurman from activity. During the last four years he's only had four fights but that includes wins over Shawn Porter and Danny "Swift" Garcia in world title fights.
This past January he was stunned by Josesito Lopez but rallied to win by decision. Lopez has always been a surprisingly good fighter despite a so-so record.
Is Thurman Pacquiao-ready?
When the two fighters met face to face in Beverly Hills both traded barbs with equal lust.
"Pacquiao is a little guy," Thurman said. "He's never fought somebody this young and this strong."
Pacquiao remained calm and composed. Over the decades he's heard all of the talk and derisive remarks tossed in his direction.
"Lot of my opponents say a lot of useless words before fights. When we get in the ring things will change," predicted Pacquiao. "Most of my opponents are bigger than me and I beat them all."
Thurman looked at Pacquiao sideways when hearing his last remark.
"You beat them all? Thurman asked, adding that he recalls Pacquiao losing to Juan Manuel Marquez, Tim Bradley and Jeff Horn.
The last comment just rolled over Pacquiao.
"I chose Keith Thurman because he will make an exciting fight," Pacquiao said. "I want him to experience losing in the ring."
Whose time is it to taste losing? It could be another Hollywood ending.
Fantasy Springs
Ireland's Jason Quigley (16-0, 12 KOs) returns to Southern California and meets Tureano Johnson (20-2-1, 14 KOs) in a middleweight clash set for 10 rounds on Thursday July 18, at Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, Calif. The card will be streamed at: www.Facebook.com/GoldenBoyBoxing.
It's been more than a year since Quigley departed from Southern California to train in England. The middleweight division has experienced drastic changes in that time including the takeover by fellow Golden Boy Promotions kingpin Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.
Quigley can get a crack at the top if he can solve Johnson.
Back in 2015, Johnson too was on the doorstep ready to fight then middleweight king Gennady "GGG" Golovkin, but he slipped and fell. Now he is in a position to slip up Quigley. It's an interesting and important middleweight fight.
Another Irishman, Aaron McKenna (8-0, 5 KOs), has a welterweight bout. At press time no opponent had been named. But McKenna and his brother Stevie are now training in the hills of Riverside, California with Robert Garcia. That's one burgeoning boxing camp.
Also on the boxing card is female Olympian Marlen Esparza looking to revamp her fighting style when she fights Mexico's Sonia Osorio in an eight round flyweight bout.
A special guest of honor will be Michael Carbajal, also known as "Little Hands of Stone," the former light flyweight world champion from Phoenix, Arizona. Who can forget his epic clashes with Humberto "Chiquita" Gonzalez in the early 90s?
Doors open at 4:30 p.m.
Friday in Las Vegas
The Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame is hosting a meet and greet on Friday July 19, at its new location 3542 S. Maryland Parkway in Las Vegas, Nevada.
A number of boxing luminaries are expected to attend the event that begins at 6 p.m. All those purchasing a ticket will also receive a raffle ticket that could result in winning a ticket to the Manny Pacquiao-Keith Thurman fight card on Saturday at the MGM Grand.
An interactive exhibit is one of the attractions at the Hall of Fame headquarters that is located at HeadzUP in the Boulevard Mall. Sponsors include Title Boxing, WBC Boxing, TGB Promotions and HeadzUP.
Price of admission: $25.
"Sweet Pea" Whitaker
One last note on the passing of the great Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker. Though I only spoke to him but one time, I was partially involved in his very last pro fight.
Back in 2001, Whitaker was set to face a top-notch super welterweight but within days of the match the opponent pulled out. I had just seen Riverside's Carlos "El Elegante" Bojorquez train and his team was begging for a fight. They didn't care who and were always ready.
Willy Silva was the trainer of Bojorquez and the brothers Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Eric Chavez would train at his gym during this time. He had asked if I could help get Bojorquez a fight, so when Whitaker's scheduled opponent pulled out, I called the vice president of Showtime Jay Larkin. I had developed a relationship with Larkin and when I told him Bojorquez would step in he didn't doubt me. Calls were made and within hours all parties agreed.
Bojorquez was a fearless, hard-hitting fighter originally from the Los Mochis area of Mexico. Whitaker had not fought since losing to Puerto Rico's great Felix Trinidad in 1999. When they met in Lake Tahoe on April 2001 it was expected that Bojorquez would be an easy target for "Sweepea." But after a few exchanges Whitaker was visibly hurt and could not continue past the fourth round. Bojorquez was deemed the winner by technical knockout in the fourth round. Whitaker would never fight again.
The Showtime executive Larkin passed away a few years later in 2010 at age 59. He was a very approachable guy and loved combat sports.
Now the boxing world has lost Whitaker whose incredible defensive prowess was something to watch. He truly was a marvel in the boxing ring.

The Bones Adams Story (Part Two)
When Bones Adams retired from boxing, he was still in his mid-twenties. The kid from Henderson, Kentucky, now lived in Henderson, Nevada, a suburb of Las Vegas, and before leaving the sport he had made enough money to go on a home-buying spree.
Real estate in the form of rental homes was a sound investment, or so everyone told him. But that was before the Great Recession, a scourge that clobbered real estate speculators and new homeowners, hitting Las Vegas especially hard.
"Suddenly," says Bones, looking back, "a house next door to one of my mine, a house that looked a lot like mine," was on the market for half the price that I paid for mine. I didn't have the equity to ride out the storm."
One of Bones' best friends worked as a limousine driver for Charles Horky. The friend suggested that Bones join the team. Horky, a big fight fan, hired him in a flash.
Horky was an American success story. Starting with one limousine, he built a mini-empire. His fleet serviced the MGM Grand properties, of which there were eight on the Las Vegas Strip. Many of his regular clients were celebrities.
A town like Las Vegas attracts a lot of predators. Charles Horky fit right in. The FBI would allege that he didn't merely turn a blind eye when his drivers supplied hookers and drugs – cocaine, meth, Ecstasy – to his customers, but that he encouraged it and demanded a cut of the action. Then there was the little matter of unauthorized charges on credit cards, a common scam in Vegas, particularly in "gentleman's" clubs. "What happens in Las Vegas, stays in Las Vegas," goes the slogan, and what often stays is a lot more money than a visitor remembers spending.
On Dec. 13, 2012, the FBI arrested Charles Horky and eight of his employees or associates, including four limousine drivers, on racketeering charges. Clarence "Bones" Adams, identified in the papers as one of the limousine drivers, was caught up in the sting.
"I did some stuff I shouldn't have," Bones acknowledged when this reporter broached the subject. But he says he wasn't a limousine driver except on his first day of work because Horky thought he was more valuable out in the field working as a starter, a person that works with the concierge at a hotel. (In Las Vegas, a taxi driver is prohibited from carrying more than five passengers. For larger parties, it's often cheaper to hire a limo than taking multiple cabs.)
At his initial hearing, Bones pleaded not guilty. The attorney he hired, confident that he would receive only a slap on the wrist, got him to change his plea. Indeed, probation was what the prosecutors recommended. But the judge thought otherwise and Bones would serve six months at the federal correctional institution in Taft, California.
– – –
When we caught up with Bones Adams last week, he had just returned from shepherding his three youngest children to school (Bones has a daughter, Alexa, from a previous marriage). It entailed three stops – a high school, a middle school, and an elementary school. The school buses don't service his neighborhood, an upper-middle-class neighborhood in the southwest part of Las Vegas.
The home that Adams shares with Millette, his wife of 14 years, and their children has a very deep back yard. Situated at the end of the long driveway is a 3,200-square foot building that houses a two-car garage and the boxing gym. The previous owner was a custom glass maker. This was his workshop.
Bones Adams doesn't speak well of his former manager Cameron Dunkin, but Bones concedes that Dunkin did him a big favor when he sold his contract to James Prince. The change-over was made shortly after Bones' first match with Paulie Ayala.
Prince, the Houston-based rap music mogul, was previously involved in the careers of Floyd Mayweather Jr, with whom he had a big falling out, and Andre Ward, among others. Today he is connected to a stable of boxers in Las Vegas who compete under the Prince Ranch insignia, the most notable of whom is former U.S. Olympian Michael Hunter who meets undefeated Sergey Kuzmin at Madison Square Garden on Sept. 13 in a match that will leave the winner well-positioned for a shot at a world heavyweight title. Undefeated super bantamweight Raeese Aleem (pictured with Bones) is one of several rising contenders.
The gym that sits in Bones' backyard was designed for Prince Ranch fighters but isn't exclusively for them. "Basically," says Bones, "whenever there is a really big fight in town, one of the fighters comes here." Amir Khan used the gym to put the final touches on his preparation for Canelo Alvarez. Daniel Jacobs did likewise. More recently, Manny Pacquiao and his trainer Freddie Roach were here during the final days preceding PacMan's fight with Keith Thurman. Tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood, the gym offers a marquee fighter a level of privacy he is unlikely to find elsewhere.
When Khan was here in May of 2016, Bones Adams wasn't yet immersed in the daily routine of a trainer. It would be more accurate to say that he was the facility's caretaker. But he and Khan forged a relationship and when Khan was in the market for a new trainer – having left Virgil Hunter, who trained him for his bout with Terence Crawford — he thought of his new buddy back in Las Vegas.
Amir Khan is no longer an "A side" fighter in the United States. Canelo Alvarez starched him with one punch and he was flayed on social media for his weak showing against Crawford. But Khan, an Olympic silver medalist for England at age 17, remains one of the most well-known sporting personalities in the U.K. His supposedly tempestuous relationship with his attractive American-born wife has been a steady source of fodder for the tabloids.
Bones spent two-and-a-half weeks with Khan in Khan's hometown of Bolton and another two-and-a-half weeks in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where Khan finished his training for his fight with Billy Dib, a late sub for India's Neeraj Gorat who had to pull out after being injured in a car crash. The fight was hyped as a landmark event that would pave the way to a succession of bigger fights in Saudi Arabia.
The Arab nation has been in the news lately and we asked Bones for a few tips on the unlikely chance that we would ever go there. "I was told that I shouldn't strike up a conversation with a woman I didn't know, but what I found was that things had loosened up," he said. "However, 'no touching' is still the rule (a no-no that covers everything from a handshake to a hug). The people over there were very warm. We were treated very well."
Late in his boxing career, Bones' hairline began to recede. The recession has now completed its journey, perhaps with a little assistance from a barber, and Bones is fashionably bald. But he looks younger than his age; the muscles in his arms are taut, fittingly so for a man who preaches that a boxing-themed workout is the best workout of all for a man that wants to stay physically fit.
When Bones looks back on his boxing career, he thinks about what might have been if those that had influence over his career had done a better job of looking out for his interests and if the deck hadn't been rigged against him in several of his most important fights. But the bitterness has long since dissipated, usurped by an understanding that there were times when his life could have spiraled completely out of control and an appreciation for those that reeled him back in. Foremost is his wife Millette, whose name Bones spells out to make certain the reporter gets it right.
It's been a bumpy ride for Clarence "Bones" Adams, but he is now in a good place. Back in the day, the WBA stripped him of his title for no good reason other than they could, but looking back Bones can see that owning all the title belts in the world wouldn't have amounted to a hill of beans if he hadn't met Millette who has stood by his side through thick and thin.

Mexican Stalwarts Navarrete and Magdaleno Break-in the Banc of California
Mexican Stalwarts Navarrete and Magdaleno Break-in the Banc of California
LOS ANGELES-A new stadium got its boxing baptismal with two brutal Mexican wars to re-introduce Los Angeles fans to international prizefighting on Saturday evening.
WBO titlist Emanuel "El Vaquero" Navarrete of Mexico City retained the world title by knockout and former champion Jessie Magdaleno proved pure violence still prevails in Mexican style boxing in front of 3,944 fans at Banc of California Stadium.
Soccer took a back seat on Saturday.
It was baptism under fire as Navarrete (28-1, 24 KOs) roasted fellow Mexican Francisco "Panchito" De Vaca (20-1, 6 KOs) who was willing to jump into the flames but found it too hot to withstand. However, he did try.
De Vaca arrived with only six knockout wins in 20 fights but that didn't stop him from exchanging with the slightly taller and aggressive Navarrete. From the opening sound of the bell each traded blows, with Navarrete landing two vicious left uppercuts to punctuate the first round.
Though Navarrete won the round, De Vaca proved to have a sturdy chin.
The challenger from Phoenix erupted in the second round with a more aggressive attitude, but quickly discovered he was on the floor looking up after absorbing a sidewinder right cross from Navarrete. He got up and renewed the attack.
De Vaca never wavered from exchanging blows with the champion but it proved to be futile as the harder hitting Navarrete seemed to move the challenger back with each connected blow. De Vaca was hurt but refused to submit as Navarrete pummeled him with blows from multiple angles. After what seemed like a minute filled with machine-like blows, referee Raul Caiz stopped the fight though De Vaca never went down at 1:54 of round three to give Navarrete the win by knockout.
"De Vaca showed his fighting heart. He gave 100 percent in the ring tonight," said Navarrete, who hopes to return to Los Angeles. "I want to continue the tradition of Mexican boxing in Los Angeles. I want to fill arenas and follow in the footsteps of Mexican legends."
Top Rank's Bob Arum said Navarrete will be returning to the boxing ring next month in Las Vegas on the same fight card as lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury on Sept. 14.
Former super bantamweight world champion Jessie Magdaleno (27-1, 18 KOs) won by technical decision over Tijuana's Rafael Rivera (27-4-2, 18 KOs) in a fight stopped due to an accidental elbow slicing a cut on the Las Vegas fighter.
"He's an aggressive fighter, he's a warrior as we say in boxing," said Magdaleno, who did not think it was an intentional elbow.
Magdaleno, a southpaw, breezed through three rounds with his slick boxing and power shots to the body. Rivera found it difficult to find openings until a clash of heads caused a cut on Magdaleno's nose. Rivera was able to capitalize on the former super bantamweight world champion's concern over the blood running down his nose.
In the next three rounds Magdaleno began targeting the body with strong lefts and rights. It seemed to visibly slow down Rivera. A left cross in the seventh round staggered Rivera who was barely able to stay on his feet.
Rivera gutted out the pain and battled back in the eighth round with renewed vigor. It looked like he was willing to go down swinging.
Magdaleno expected Rivera to come out smoking in the ninth round and he did not disappoint. Both slugged it out in the corner, with Magdaleno decking Rivera with a short left cross but the Tijuana fighter beat the count and returned to the battle. During another exchange, an inadvertent elbow by the Mexican fighter sliced the side of Magdaleno's right eye. Blood spewed out and referee Tom Taylor, on the advice of the ringside physician, stopped the fight at 2:55 of the ninth round.
The fight was decided by the score cards with two judges at 89-81 and a third at 88-82, all for Magdaleno.
"It felt great, I felt strong, better than ever," said Magdaleno about fighting in the 126-pound featherweight division. "I took off the ring rust. We fought smart. We put on our boxing shoes and out-boxed him."
The former WBO super bantamweight who lost the title to Isaac Dogboe last year, now feels his victory over Rivera should open the door to a world title fight in the featherweight division.
When asked who he would like?
"I want them all, it don't matter," Magdaleno said.
Other Bouts
Super lightweight prospect Arnold Barboza (22-0, 9 KOs) was too big and too strong for Filipino Ricky Sismundo (35-15-3, 17 KOs) and battered the willing fighter for all four rounds. A three-punch combination by South El Monte's Barboza dropped Sismundo in the third round who beat the count and tried battling back. In the fourth round, Barboza continued the attack and at the end of the fourth round referee Ray Corona stopped the fight as Sismundo dropped to a knee at the end of the stanza.
Barboza was coming off a knockout win over former world champion Mike Alvarado and may be ready for a world title shot.
Kazakhstan's Janibek Alimkhanuly floored Canada's Stuart McLellan twice before ending the fight with a flourish of blows that forced referee Rudy Barragan to end the fight at 2:51 of the fifth round.
Alimkhanuly retains the WBO Global and WBC Continental America's middleweight belts. He fights out of Los Angeles and is trained by Buddy McGirt.
A welterweight clash saw South Africa's Chris Van Heerden (28-2-1, 12 KOs) win by unanimous decision over Russia's Aslanbek Kozaev (33-3-1, 8 KOs) in a bloody eight round war. The fight started slowly with Van Heerden hitting and moving but after cuts suffered by both fighters, the two began exchanging heavy blows to the delight of the crowd. Both bled heavily for the last four rounds but let loose with everything just in case the fight was stopped. After eight rounds two judges saw it 79-73 and a third 78-74 for Van Heerden.
After a close two rounds, Javier Molina (20-2, 8 KOs) put some distance between himself and Manuel Mendez (16-6-3, 11 KOs) to win by unanimous decision in a super lightweight match. Molina was able to take control with some nifty counter punches that caught Mendez walking in. It was never an easy fight as Mendez battled through each round. But after eight rounds two judges scored it 79-73 and a third 78-74 all for Molina.
"I moved down to 140 pounds and it felt comfortable," said Molina, a former 2008 US Olympian who fights out of Norwalk, Calif. "It felt good to be back in the ring.
Dominican southpaw Elvis Rodriguez dropped lefty Jesus Gonzalez with a short right hook in the first round of their super lightweight bout. The Texan got up and was caught with a jab left cross and down he went again. Referee Rudy Barragan halted the fight at 1:40 of the first round. Rodriguez is trained by Freddy Roach.
Russian lightweight Dmitry Yun (2-0) survived two knockdowns to win by decision over Austin's Javier Martinez (4-7, 3 KOs). The Texan floored Yun with the first blow he landed –a right cross – in the opening round, then repeated it with a counter right cross in the third round. But problems with his mouthpiece and lack of footwork kept Martinez from gaining ground on the fleet but light punching Yun. Two judges scored it 57-54 and a third 56-54, all for Yun.
New Mexico's Brian Mendoza (18-0, 13 KOs) brutalized Miami's Rosemberg Gomez (20-8-1, 16 KOs) with body shots and eventually ended the fight at 2:12 of the first round in their welterweight clash.

WBO Title-holder Emanuel Navarrete Defends at Banc of California Stadium
WBO Title-holder Emanuel Navarrete Defends at Banc of California Stadium
LOS ANGELES-World champions are gathering at a busy street corner of Los Angeles that has been the site of numerous heroic, villainous and emotional moments in the history of the second largest city in the USA.
Two full scale riots erupted and flamed out on that corner of Martin Luther King Boulevard and Figueroa Avenue in the 60s and 90s.
A presidential debate took place between John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon on those same grounds when they were running in 1960.
NBA superstars Jerry West, Elgin Baylor and Michael Jordan performed their magic on that corner too.
On Saturday, WBO super bantamweight titlist Emanuel Navarrete (27-1, 23 KOs) defends against Arizona's Francisco De Vaca (20-0, 5 KOs) in the main event at the sparkling new Banc of California Stadium. ESPN will show the Top Rank fight card.
The stadium stands on the same location where the LA Memorial Sports Arena once stood proudly until it fell into disarray and was torn down several years back.
Sixty years ago, the first world championship boxing match was held on these same grounds and fans saw France's Alphonse Halimi lose to Mexico's Jose Becerra by fifth round knockout at the LA Memorial Sports Arena. Seven months later they fought again next door at the LA Coliseum and Becerra won by knockout again.
That was only the beginning, others like Muhammad Ali, Archie Moore, Sugar Ray Robinson, Bobby Chacon, Jerry Quarry, Danny "Lil Red" Lopez, Ruben Olivares, Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez and Amir Khan all fought on those same grounds.
Imagine, when Navarrete (pictured above) rises from his corner to fight Phoenix's De Vaca on Saturday, he will be continuing the ever-growing streak of civil and professional fights that took place on that same historic street corner.
WBO Super Bantamweight Title
Navarrete erupted on the fight scene like a ghost when he first defeated Isaac Dogboe last December at Madison Square Garden. It was supposed to be a Broadway opening for Dogboe, but instead turned into a horror story as those long arms of the Mexican fighter proved perplexing. The rematch was even more horrific for Dogboe.
Now the Mexico City fighter meets little known challenger De Vaca, who comes from an area that has recently been developing boxing talent in the desert city of Phoenix.
"The truth is that it doesn't matter who is my opponent. I always prepare 100 percent for each of my fights, and this was no exception," said Navarrete, 24, who is making his second defense of the WBO title. "We already did the hard work in the gym, and we are ready for a great fight. If De Vaca comes to fight hard, I am prepared to go even harder. I'm ready to give a great battle to all the fans."
Can De Vaca do what Navarrete did to Dogboe last year?
"I wanted to fight for a world title since I was 5 years old, and now that we have the opportunity, we are going to make our dream come true this Saturday," said De Vaca, 24, who fought once in Southern California back in 2016. "Come Saturday, there will be a new world champ for Phoenix and Michoacán. I'm coming for that world title."
Former super bantamweight titlist Jessie Magdaleno (26-1, 18 KOs) meets Rafael Rivera (27-3-2, 18 KOs) in a featherweight match set for 10 rounds. After struggling to make the 122-pound super bantamweight limit, the Las Vegas southpaw now fights at 126 pounds. It's made a difference.
"He's a totally different person at 126 pounds," said Frank Espinoza who manages Magdaleno. "Even the way he talks and thinks is different. Who would have thought four pounds would make such a difference."
Magdaleno, the former WBO super bantamweight titlist, now meets Tijuana's Rivera who never fails to provide high intensity fisticuffs.
"I don't take none of these guys lightly. Every opponent is difficult. He's fought great fighters. He's been in there with great fighters and done a hell of a job. I can't overlook him because he's here to put on a great show as well," said Magdaleno, 27. "He throws a lot of punches, and he's quick. That's what I am, and that's what is going to make a hell of a fight for this fight card."
Rivera fought featherweight champion Leo Santa Cruz earlier this year. Though he lost by decision, he gained fans for his ferocity.
"I've been fighting against top-level fighters for a long time, so I feel confident and secure that whether it's against a world champion or a former champion, I'll put up a good fight," said Rivera, 25. "Jessie is a good fighter. I've seen him fight before. He's an aggressive fighter, but I'm just here to do my work."
It's a rather strong and lengthy fight card to baptize the new stadium into the world of prizefighting. Expect a lengthy line of fans on the same corner where many historic events have taken place.
Boxing has returned to the same street corner where legends like Ali, Sugar Ray, Quarry and Schoolboy Chacon previously performed. It's a corner with many memories, both pleasant and notorious.

One of the most common picks for the Lions lands with their rivals in Green Bay in our latest mock draft pick."The Green Bay Packers have had themselves an interesting offseason. They've been uncharacteristically active during free agency
Cheap Will Harris Jersey
, leading many to believe they have a general manager with the right head on his shoulders. However, last week's bombshell report of dysfunction between Aaron Rodgers, Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson has put into question the foundation this team was built on.So it's SJLionsFan609's job to help fix this rival of the Detroit Lions. In our Pride of Detroit Community Mock, SJLionsFan609 is the acting general manager for the Packers. And with the 12th overall pick in the community mock, the Packers have selected Iowa tight end T.J. Hockenson. Here's the explanation, courtesy of SJLionsFan609.After spending big bucks on improving the defense in free agency, the Packers will be looking to the draft to shore up the holes in the offense."I'll be honest, I didn't have the slightest idea what the Packers biggest needs were, but after doing some research it seemed tight end was at the top of the list with edge rusher

, offensive line and safety also being big needs. I had Florida State EDGE Brian Burns written on the card and was halfway to the stage before changing my mind and going with Iowa tight end T.J. Hockenson.What led me to choosing Hockenson over fellow Iowa tight end Noah Fant was Hockenson's run blocking ability. Both Hawkeyes are superb in the passing game but as Joe Marino of thedraftnetwork.com stated, "One of the most tenacious blockers I've ever laid eyes on. The foot urgency and finishing skills are tremendous, will bury DE's and OLB's alike. Effective to collapse or wash down and ensure there's a soft edge for ball carriers."With new head coach Matt LaFleur bringing in his new offense, I fully expect the Packers to try to run the ball a lot more than previous years. That is, of course, if Aaron Rodgers allows that to happen. Having Hockenson working the middle of the field will also help open up things on the outside for Davante Adams as well. 2013 was the last year the Packers had a top-10 rushing offense, and with the addition of Hockenson to LaFleur's offense, and a full season of Aaron Jones, I expect that to change this year."Catch up on all of the picks with our Community Mock Draft Tracker. The reasons for the Detroit Lions' offensive collapse have already been thoroughly debated. Some blame the poor play-calling and uninspiring schemes—hence the firing of offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter. Others look at the skill position players and see a completely depleted unit by the season's end: No Golden Tate
Matthew Stafford Jersey
, no Marvin Jones Jr., no Kerryon Johnson, and no tight end worthy of attention in the receiving game.Another contributing factor that most agreed upon was Detroit's disappointing offensive line. With another addition to the front in first-round pick Frank Ragnow and the hiring of offensive line coach Jeff Davidson, many believed this was the year they would take a big step. And while the run blocking undoubtedly improved noticeably, pass blocking had its issues. Matthew Stafford was sacked 40 times, just seven fewer than last season and still 10th-most in the league. But according to Pro Football Focus' end-of-season unit grades, the Lions' play in the trenches may be better than perceived. Take a look:It's probably downright shocking for many of you to see that the Lions ranked eighth in pass blocking grade as a team. Trying to justify that grade with the Vikings' 10-sack game still fresh in the mind probably makes you want to simply discount PFF completely. But let's not completely throw out the results right away. Remember a month into the season? Remember when we ran with this headline: "Only 1 team has allowed fewer QB hits than the Lions"? While the Lions didn't finish the season anywhere near second in the league in that category, they did finish a respectable 13th in QB hits allowed. The Lions were obviously hurt by the mid-season loss of right guard T.J. Lang, but that still doesn't really justify the Lions ranking top 10 in pass blocking
Darius Slay Jersey
, especially when you look at the top graded players on the Lions offense in 2018:Only one offensive linemen and a bunch of skill position players. How does that make any sense when all the Lions were ranked poorly in all the skill position traits (receiving: 21st, rushing: 23rd)? Well, pass blocking and run blocking isn't just up to the offensive linemen. As we noted last week, the Lions also had the best pass blocking tight end in the NFL with Levine Toilolo. They also had one of the best pass blocking running backs in Theo Riddick. But even still, there's probably more credit that belongs to the offensive line than we've been giving. Taylor Decker had a bounceback season. Ragnow's inconsistent rookie year eventually had more ups than downs. Graham Glasgow has quietly been solid and, perhaps more importantly, extremely dependable. And even Kenny Wiggins showed signs of improvement by the season's end. Considering how bad things were last season—last in yards per carry, 25th in sacks allowed—it's undeniable the Lions improved in both areas in 2018. Perhaps that's why the Lions have showed faith in Jeff Davidson this offseason by reportedly allowing him to sit in on interviews for the offensive coordinator job.

Why does HIIT training work better than conventional cardio for fat loss? When you do cardio at the same pace, your body adjusts itself to the workload and tries to conserve calories. (After all, your body doesn't know how long or hard you plan to work out.) Interval training forces your body to burn more calories -- and tap into fat stores -- because it has no choice. Science says so: One study at Laval University found people who performed HIIT cardio lost nine times more fat than people who performed moderate cardio at a consistent speed.
Spending more time in the kitchen can help you shed belly fat, as long as you're cooking with the right foods, according to one 2017 study. After analyzing data from more than 11,000 men and women, UK researchers found that people who ate more than five homemade meals per week were 28 percent less likely to have a high body mass index, and 24 percent less likely to carry too much body fat than those whole only downed three meals at home.
Blood vessels (veh-suls): The system of flexible tubes—arteries, capillaries and veins—that carries blood through the body. Oxygen and nutrients are delivered by arteries to tiny, thin-walled capillaries that feed them to cells and pick up waste material, including carbon dioxide. Capillaries pass the waste to veins, which take the blood back to the heart and lungs, where carbon dioxide is let out through your breath as you exhale.
Even if you do meet your goal, it's nearly impossible to keep off the weight over the long term: "The amount of restriction required [to maintain that number] will make you so hungry that you'll eat everything in sight—it's survival instinct," Dr. Seltzer says. And since calorie restriction gradually slows your metabolism, your body will be less prepared to burn the foods you binge on, he adds. That could mean gaining more pounds than you lost in the first place.
If you drink regular, go to 2%. If you already drink 2%, go down another notch to 1% or skim milk. Each step downward cuts the calories by about 20 percent. Once you train your taste buds to enjoy skim milk, you'll have cut the calories in the whole milk by about half and trimmed the fat by more than 95 percent. One disclaimer: There are times when fat-free dairy isn't the best option.
Your body uses two primary nutrients for fuel: glucose and ketones. Most people use glucose for fuel; this is because the average person has a carbohydrate based diet. If you want to burn fat fast as hell, however, put your body into a state of ketosis. What this means is that your body's primary source of energy is no longer carbohydrates, but fat. In other words, you'll literally be burning your own fat supplies for energy.
Mobile Shredding — Mobile shredding services are perfect for any amount of paperwork up to 300 pounds (ideally 3 – 10 copy paper boxes). The truck comes to your home or office and shreds your paper while you watch in order to help prevent identity theft. The cost for mobile shredding is around $100. If you have more than three boxes but nowhere near ten, you can ask a friend, neighbor or other business to join you and share the cost.
It depends on your goals and preferences. Some weight training will be beneficial in any regimen as it'll help you build lean muscle mass, increase the amount of calories you burn daily, and aiding in body fat management. However, the total number of weight training days can be altered between 2-6 depending on what form of exercise you actually enjoy doing.

Fiber is found in beans, nuts, seeds, fruits, veggies, and whole grains and foods rich in fiber tend to lend themselves to weight loss. At the moment, just 10 percentof Americans are hitting fiber targets of around 25 grams per day. Studies that track what people eat over time suggest that there's a connection between weight and fiber intake, with higher fiber intakes linked to lower body weights (the reverse is true, too). One review of 12 studies found that supplementing the diet with more soluble fiber helped people slim down. Another year-long study found that people who followed the simple suggestion to eat 30 grams of fiber each day lost about 5 pounds.
So if you want to be able to eat more and still maintain your current body weight, get up earlier and exercise before breakfast. If you want to lose weight, get up earlier and exercise before breakfast. And if you want to be in a better mood all day, definitely exercise before breakfast. Researchers at the University of Vermont found that aerobic training of moderate intensity, with an average heart rate of around 112 beats a minute -- elevated, sure, but it's not like you're hammering away -- improved participants' mood for up to 12 hours after exercise.
"One of the hardest parts of losing weight is maintaining the lifestyle changes you've made. It's difficult to stay motivated all the time, especially if you've slipped up along the way. But don't let this affect your end goal. If you're feeling particularly unmotivated, ask a friend to join you for your workout and then afterwards cook something healthy for dinner together."

Key tips to help ensure your public displays are safe from mischief.
The static signs of the past have becoming passé…even boring. At a time when everyone's shopping for 4K television sets and grown accustomed to eye-popping digital images on movie screens, it's digital signage that grabs people's attention, conveys messages effectively and enhances consumers' experiences. Digital signage can be found in virtually every commercial venue that Sound & Communications covers, including houses of worship, education campuses, corporate facilities, retail stores, airports, casinos, hospitals, restaurants, hotels, theme parks and attractions, stadiums and arenas, museums and more. We cover every aspect of digital signage technology, including displays, software, video scalers, cabling and interactive touch overlays. Each month, Shonan Noronha, EdD, pens our "Sign Age" column, in which she explores the latest technologies, applications and implications of digital signage. Often, the column cites a specific venue's usage of the technology, discussing how it has enhanced that venue's success.

"Slit Skirts" is a song written and composed by Pete Townshend, the guitarist for English rock band The Who. The song is on Townshend's solo album All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes.
Like most of the material from the 1982 album, "Slit Skirts" is a contemplative piece, this time draped with the personal, self-analysis of an aging man, and an aging rock star.[1]
"Slit Skirts" stands out from most music of that year as a song wallowing in the realization of middle age while acknowledging the fact that youth will always be a thing of the past and that earned it quite a lot of radio play.[2]
The song implies that Pete Townshend has reached the point of day-to-day reflection; the adventures of the bar scene and the allure of romance are now out of reach.
The song is said to have the same feel as The Who's "You Better You Bet" or Townshend's "Pure and Easy" from his debut album. Pete Townshend has always been a master songwriter, and while "Slit Skirts" isn't a masterpiece by any means, it's a fine example of how he can articulate the hardships of age and the pain of looking back.
