Boxing Nicknames

By Steve Corbo

(Part #1 of 2)

Three groups of people, seem to come by nicknames naturally. First, the kids from my old neighborhood. Second, gangsters. And third, the group with the most colorful nicknames of all, professional boxers! 

I started to list my ten favorite boxer nicknames. That list quickly grew to 15, then 20, and then I couldn’t stop. I finally called a halt at 150. As with the kids in my neighborhood, some fighters become so identified by their nicknames… we forget their real names. Case in point, Canelo! I’ve run into many a fight fan who when asked what they think of Saul Alvarez, say “Who’s he?”

Test your knowledge and see how many nicknames you can match with the boxer’s real name. This list is certainly not complete, I actually came up with more than 150 but had to draw the line somewhere! There is no preference in ranking or order. They are simply at random as they came to me when putting this together. The numbers are there only as a point of reference. Comment about fighters, and their nicknames, not on this list. Or ask questions about those who are! I welcome your feedback.

Fight Club OC Launches 15th Season with Big Surprises

The 15th season of Fight Club OC shows in The Hangar at the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, CA will be like no other year as it launches two great promotions to not only make the shows more profitable for fans, but also provide for the hungry of Orange County.

Starting with Opening Night on Thursday, February 13th all fans will get to participate in the brand new Hustler Casino $1,000 Knockout Promotion. Before the first bout a lucky fan will be chosen and seated at ringside. If a knockout happens that fan wins $100. If no knockout or stopped by strikes, another fan will be chosen and if a KO happens they win $200. This goes on until the last bout and if still no knockouts or stopped by strikes, this lucky fan wins $1,000 CASH! 

SOCA Fights and Fight Club OC are aware of the many Orange County families that still struggle to put a decent meal on their table each day. So Fight Club OC has partnered with the OC Food Bank and the David Wilson Family Foundation to launch Knockout OC Hunger at each Fight Club OC show, to not only collect food but also bring awareness to hunger in Orange County. At all shows the OC Food Bank will staff food collection barrels and all fans that bring a food item to a show, that is non-perishable, including canned tuna, chicken and chili, canned fruits and vegetables, breakfast cereal, peanut butter, rice, beans, and pasta will receive a numbered ticket and between each bout one of these numbers will be called and that fan will win $200 cash. Five lucky participating fans will win a total of $1,000 each show, so it makes sense to put a food item in your car and bring it to the show…and win!
