@SIChrisMannix The home of Boxing = Ohio. 🇺🇸

[Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix]

More than 3,500 tickets already sold for Abdullah Mason’s July 4th title defense in Cleveland against Joe Cordina, I’m told. Ringside already sold out. Mason, Tiger Johnson, proving to be a draw in northeast Ohio.

@Boxing_Tribune This hurts because is the truth.
Haney and Stevenson are not helping grow an audience.
And Zuffa is not the answer.

I remember those days fondly and never thought that they would ever go away. But they have, and the shrinking visibility has taken a terrible toll on the sport in the U.S. where I live. Walls -- pay walls to be exact -- have blocked general sports fans from accessing the sport's best and the youth from experiencing the thrill of a "first-view Thunderbolt Moment" like I did with Duran-DeJesus II on ABC back in 1974.

Seeing those shows on such a regular basis -- ABC's "Wide World of Sports," CBS' "Sports Spectacular" and NBC's "SportsWorld" -- created such a strong imprint that my fandom has survived the transition to the virtually "all-pay" universe that reigns today. I was lucky to experience the exposure structure of the 1970s, which inspired me to turn my passion into my profession.

Make no mistake: For all my negative talk in recent years about the state of boxing, I still love the sport. I love talking and writing about its history because it is so rich with stories and memories. Thankfully, I will get a chance to do much more of it next week as the @BoxingHall will hold its annual Induction Weekend. God willing, I will see you there!

Jhon Orobio with nice hooks around the guard & vicious body shots. He’s one to watch at 140 pounds.

[Deluxe Bettor @DeluxeBettor]

At some point, the boxing world is going to realize Jhon Orobio is the real deal. 🇨🇴

He is literally running out of development fights.

[Thomas Walker @FStylesMMA]

Orobio is a dangerous, dangerous man.

@fightingwords2 Keyshawn vs Haney is a great match up. Bad blood and all.
Hope that’s next.

[David Greisman @fightingwords2]

NEW FROM ME:

Keyshawn Davis entered the WBO's welterweight ratings at No. 1, circumventing a clash at 140 with close friend Shakur Stevenson that both men insisted never would happen.

I examine that and other ratings changes on Fighting Words Boxing: https://t.co/YnAAlHy8Xd
