Rusty Rubin is an award winning world renowned boxing writer, covering the sport for more than 35 years and has been part of the dmboxing.com team since 2007. My only comment on the Bradley – Marquez fight last week is a shout out to Bradley who fought the type of fight that few if any of us would have expected. Congratulations to “Desert Storm”.

The big fight this week is on Oct. 19, and on HBO television. It’s from Denver, Colorado, the first fight from there ever on HBO and the first championship fight since September 2000 다운로드. The bout, for the WBO light heavyweight title is between Denver native Mike Alvarado, 34-1-1 (23), who, at 33 years of age, takes on 29-year-old Ruslan Provodnikov or Russia.

Provodnikov comes in with a record of 22-2 with 15 knockouts, but one of those two loses was a unanimous decision to Tim Bradley.

Alvarado’s only loss came at the hands of Brandon Rios via the TKO route.

The match-up shows Alvarado with a three inch height advantage as well as a three and a half inch reach advantage 다운로드. The fact that he is also fighting in his home town seems to be too much of an edge for Provodnikov to overcome. Plus the mile high altitude is not going to be in the Russian’s favor either.

Okay, let’s put it on the line and say that Alvarado will wear down Provodnikov and stop him in the later rounds of the fight.***

Still asking for help for my final book, so if you have any stories of inspiration or miracles to help with my next tome, speed on your half will be much appreciated. Most, if not all of us will or have seen cancer ravage some of our loved ones in our/their lifetime. The time has come to add your name to the fight against cancer 다운로드. Don’t let it pass you by!

As for the book, 100% of the proceeds will be used in the ongoing fight against cancer, please get the stories to me as soon as you can. It seems we’re quickly closing in on finding a cure for this dread disease, and I, like most of you, would love to see it in my lifetime.

I’m always on the lookout for new stories of miracles, faith, and inspiration, not necessarily boxing or religion related. One of my goals is to help inspire those who are in need and ready to give up, and to lend emotional support to this long fought effort, that God willing, will once and for all wipe out this dread disease 다운로드.

For more information on how you can help, please read the bottom of this article.***

There is some good news out there, and that is Norway will be allowing professional boxing for the first time (at least in my limited memory). It may not sound like much for the fans, but trust me when I write that every little bit well help while our beloved fight game is in its doldrums.***

A tip for our readers, please check out REAL COMBAT MEDIA BOXING RADIO. It’s a show that I predict you will enjoy. And my predictions are the only reason you read my columns, right? Hold off on answering that.
