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. 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.

Hate to rush progress, but if you have any stories of inspiration or miracles to help with my next book, speed on your half will be much appreciated. Most, if not all of us will see cancer ravage some of our loved ones in their lifetime. The time has come to add your name to the fight against cancer.

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 really closing in on finding a cure for this disease, and I 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 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.

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

No predictions of any kind yet for the upcoming Mayweather vs. Canelo fight, except it could be a real barn-burner.

First, a word about last weeks fight between Zab Judah and Daniel Garcia … I was going back and fourth before picking the hometown favorite, Judah to eke out a decision. I was wrong, and actually surprised. Finally we see a fair decision against the local favorite. Good job by the three judges, and my apologies to anyone who decided to wager on my pick.

This week, on May 4, we have what could be a very exciting bout at the MGM in Las Vegas, for the WBC welterweight title between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Roberto Guerrero.

I promised an old friend that I’d refrain from politics in this column, and I will. But it’s not political to call for the prayers of the victims and the families that suffered in the Boston Marathon bombing.

Because I’m picking three fights this week, I’ll keep things simple, if you want to help in my next endeavor to help find a cure for cancer, (no money involved), please read the bottom of this article.
