1. As was first reported here on 22 September 2012, Leija-Battah Promotions are doing big things for Boxing in San Antonio. They just landed one of the biggest fights for 2013 with Canelo vs Trout on April 20th . You can best believe there is something even bigger in the works. Best of luck to the Leija-Battah team! #CaneloTrout
2. “…if he dies, he dies” –Robert Garcia talking to newly minted IBF Champion,The Mexican Russian, Evgeny Gradovich. I don’t see a rematch going any better for Billy Dib. http://www.boxingscene.com/-mexican-russian-shines-through-foxwoods--62931
3. I was sitting ringside when Omar Figueroroa knocked the soul out of Henry Aurad. This was another event from Leija-Battah Promotions that exceeded expectations. Keep a look out for the kid, Omar Figueroroa is the real deal at 140. Watch his KO of Aurad here -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sApttK3huOs
4. Mayweather vs Guerrero is heating up. The first promotional faceoff with Showtime was just an appetizer for things to come. Watch the video here -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fih0CAIKBXo
5. Speaking of Mayweather, the perception is that he disrespected K9 Bundrage’s wife at K9's Championship fight vs Ishe Smith. He was supposedly dancing on her and saying disrespectful things towards this woman. A picture speaks a thousand words ->

6. Bernard Hopkins is looking to defeat not only Tavoris Cloud this weekend, but also establish a new record by winning another Championship Belt at Light Heavyweight at the age of 48. It is a record he previously established a couple of years ago by defeating Jean Pascal. Bernard Hopkins is doing the unprecedented and defying age. I find that inspirational.

7. I would definitely watch the fifth fight of Pacquiao vs Marquez, if it gets made. As a matter of fact, if I were match maker, the Pac Mans next three fights should be Marquez, Tim Bradley, and finally Floyd Mayweather. Wishful Thinking.
8. Adrien Broner may get his wish in his next fight, he has been clamoring for a fight vs Ricky Burns of the UK for a few years now. Following Burns recent split with Frank Warren and his title unification cancellation with Miguel Vasquez, Burns was confronted by Golden Boy Promotions to do “business” as reported by BadLeftHook.com Read more about that, here -> http://www.badlefthook.com/2013/3/8/4078352/ricky-burns-approached-by-golden-boy-following-split-warren-boxing-news
P.S. Even if the Burns/Broner fight falls through, there is also talk about pitting Broner against 147lb Champion, Paulie Malignaggi. This would require Broner to move up 2 weigh classes. Pauilie seemed interested in the fight…..
