Brawling - An Art Form
The definition of brawling according to the dictionary is "a noisy quarrel, squabble, or fight." While some of that meaning can be used as part of the fighting definition, when we talk about brawlers, we're usually referring to fighters who throw strikes with reckless abandon. In this article, I wanted to discuss whether or not there is an argument for the fighting style to be considered a "martial art."

The Brilliance of the Tyson Fury/Top Rank Deal, and the Blindness of the Showtime/Deontay Wilder Fandom
It seems like boxing is prospering during the post Mayweather era. Every major network has got themselves a few major stars and those networks and apps have the money to pay them what they're worth. Back in 2013 when Floyd Mayweather signed his nine-figure deal with Showtime, the offer was looked at as something foolish to refuse. Mayweather would not only be set for life, but his family generations after would be set as well. In a sport where so many of it's legends were robbed or went broke, this mega deal would be the blue print for how boxers should handle their business. Fast forward to 2019, Canelo Alvarez (former Mayweather foe and now the face of boxing) has signed what's being called the richest contract in sports history. Another nine-figure contract in the books for a boxer. A lot can be said about Alvarez when it comes to many things in this sport. One thing's for sure is he's a big draw. Probably the biggest in the sport. With this contract signing Tyson is obviously in the big draw category. For guys like them saying a fighter is scared just isn't enough chips to play at the table cashing them in and earning a fight with them. Which brings me to why you clicked on this article in the first place ... Tyson Fury and the brilliance of his contract signing.

Fighter of the Decade Debate 2010-2020
2020 is almost here and the once in a decade award is up for grabs. "Fighter of the Decade" is an award the BWAA (Boxing Writers Association of America) started giving out in the 1990s. So far the two winners of this once a decade award have gone to Roy Jones Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. My personal choice for this decade is close between the two fighters you see pictured in the thumbnail of this article. Floyd Money Mayweather and Andre S.O.G. Ward. It's called Fighter of the Decade, but I think between these two, their first five years swamp a lot of their fellow fighters accomplishments. Their next opponents after that five could be looked at as extra credit. First, let's take a walk down memory lane through Andre Ward's career of this decade.

Pacquiao vs Thurman 2019
2019 is still in its first month and a lot of the chess pieces in the 147 division have been moving. One of the pieces that moved and is on everyone’s radar is Manny Pacquiao who put on a solid performance against a fighter eleven years younger than him. Keith Thurman, the former unified champion, came off of a 2-year layoff. Against a game opponent. A lot of matchups can be made in the following months. I believe Thurman vs Pacquiao is the perfect one to be made for both fighters. One reason is because of Keith’s comeback against the brawler Lopez. The few scary moments of the fight could mean Keith might need to knock off a little more of that ring rust. A 40-year-old veteran like Manny Pacquiao could be the perfect (or dangerous) opponent for that. Second, for Pacquiao, a fighter who doesn’t like to clinch and is offensive minded would make the perfect opponent for his fighting style, especially if ring rust is still there for that opponent’s next fight. It also might be dangerous at this stage of his career. Pacquiao would also get a chance at the real WBA belt. As a fan of the sport, we know that belt he’s belt holding isn’t the top prize of that organization. Keith is the holder of the super title. On paper, the positives outweigh the negatives for both fighters.

An Important Life Lesson I Learned from a High School Wrestling Match. Top Story - January 2019.
I walked to the coach and he handed me a sheet of paper with my opponent’s name on it. It was my junior year of high school and I was wrestling in the quarterfinals at the San Diego regional tournament. I was a mediocre wrestler my sophomore year of high school, but after a summer of wrestling, a lot of my techniques finally meshed together, and I was fairly successful this season.
