WBC PRESIDENT SAYS WORLD "WITNESSED BEAUTY OF BOXING"
San Francisco, CA- If you watched the WBC battle for the 130 lb. crown Saturday night from Las Vegas, it surely was an outstanding clash of two elite boxers with Oscar Valdez and the eventually dethroned champ Miguel Berchelt. The photograph posted here almost made me cry when I first saw it.
SULAIMAN TALKS "IMPORTANCE OF CANELO" TO BOTH MEXICO & BOXING
Pressed on "what makes Canelo Alvarez different?" Mauricio lays it out, in addition to the upcoming WBC flyweight bout. You can always find out more on the World Boxing Council at www.WBCBoxing.com

San Francisco, CA- Boxing's PhD Socrates Palmer stunned the boxing world last week by forecasting the demise of British star Josh Warrington, at the hands of Mexico's unheralded Mauricio Lara, a 25-1 underdog. This week, the PhD turned "pugilistic prophet" is boldly picking 3-1 underdog Oscar Valdez to topple once-beaten WBC 130 lb. strongman Miguel Berchelt.

PHD "HINTS AT" WARRINGTON UPSET & NO CHARLOMANIA
San Francisco, CA- The return of UK star Josh Warrington, "return" should be underlined as he's been off close to two years. But he's in with a 20-1 underdog from Mexico in Mauricio Lara. The PhD says that Lara is 22 years old and is giving him credence as Pedro goes the other way. And the fact that unbeaten Jermell Charlo thinks he can "shot call" with Canelo is preposterous.

LARRY REFLECTS ON LIFE AT 90
San Francisco, CA- Having been doing radio since the mid-1980's, I still get more of a kick with retired HBO Godfather Larry Merchant, than I have with any guest.
