(Fall 2019 Edition)

The Fall season is here and once again it’s that time to say thank you to all for making this website one of your choices in boxing. It is my pleasure and I treasure the opportunity to provide the best of boxing as I know it to everyone.

A small team of people that help enhance dmboxing.com and whom I would like to acknowledge are: Bob Quackenbush (Lead Assistant / Proof Reader); Kathy Kraft (Proof Reader); Jim Amato (Senior Boxing Writer / Boxing Historian); Tom Donelson / Author, Member Boxing Writers Association of America); Steve Corbo (Boxing Writer / Proof Reader); Harold Lederman (R.I.P. / Hey Harold / HBO World Championship Boxing); and Rusty Rubin (R.I.P. / In Rusty’s Corner / Glove2Glove). [Note: Rusty was the first to contribute to dmboxing in July 2007].

The young ladies that have modeled my products over the years have certainly added beauty and, although not professional models, they have contributed with class and charm.

The attractive website hat displayed in the photo above (thank you model Sandria) is a top selling product. It is embroidered with the official logo on the front and website address on the backside. It has an adjustable Velcro strap to fit all sizes. To order, send check or money order (NO cash please) in the amount of $18.50 to: David Martinez Boxing, 810 Coronel Street, Santa Barbara, California 93109 … and this includes FREE shipping to anywhere in the USA mail zones.

It has now been two months since we lost one the greatest boxers, Pernell Whitaker. He was a champion in four different weight divisions, and accumulated an outstanding professional record of 40 wins, 4 losses, one draw, and one no-contest, with 17 by knockout. Many have asked me where I rank him amongst the elite lightweights of all time. My ranking is at #6, with my top ten being (in order) Benny Leonard, Roberto Duran, Joe Gans, Tony Canzoneri, Jimmy McLarnin, Pernell Whitaker, Carlos Ortiz, Ike Williams, Freddie Welsh, and Battling Nelson.

(Summer 2019 Edition)

I am delighted to say “Happy 12th Anniversary” this month to my website. The founding date was July 15, 2007. That was the day when I brought dmboxing.com to the world.

In these past twelve years I have been very honored to bring everybody boxing as I live it directly thought this website. I have published 1,618 assorted articles and features (which is an average of eleven publications per month) for your enjoyment.

My involvement in boxing goes back to 1961 and in these past 58 years the one single thing that brightly stands out is all the wonderful people I have had the pleasure to meet. This includes boxers, writers, various website associates, and the many other new friends that I have made.

The key group of people that have made this website the success it has been, and will continue to be, are: Bob Quackenbush (Lead Assistant / Proof Reader); Tom Donelson (Author, Member Boxing Writers Association of America); Jim Amato (Senior Boxing Writer / Boxing Historian); Kathy Kraft (Proof Reader); Steve Corbo (Guest Posts / Proof Reader); Don Fraser (California Boxing Hall of Fame founder & past president / Ring Trivia questions contributor); Harold Lederman (R.I.P. / Hey Harold! / HBO World Championship Boxing); and Rusty Rubin (R.I.P. / In Rusty’s Corner / Glove2Glove / first to contribute to this website).

The ladies that have modeled my products  have certainly added beauty, and although not professional models they have contributed with class and charm.

The attractive website hat displayed in the photo above (thank you model Lydia) is a top selling product. It is embroidered with the official logo on the front and website address on the backside. It has an adjustable Velcro strap to fit all sizes. To order, send check or money order (NO cash please) in the amount of $18.50 to: David Martinez Boxing, 810 Coronel Street, Santa Barbara, California 93109 … and this includes  FREE shipping to anywhere in the USA mail zones. 

I also want to say thank you to all of you fans that have kindly supported this website with respect and loyalty. It’s your input that fuels me to be the best I can be in boxing.
