Barrera Talks!

Marco Antonio Barrera: I think so, there were just so many problems. I think Oscar De La Hoya and Richard Schaefer and every one that was backing me knew about all those things but we did not want to make excuses for the loss but take it as it comes, as a bad night and not demerit or take anything away from the victory of Manny Pacquiao... read more ...

‘Big Truck’ to Mormeck: ‘Stop being a wuss!’

- Now that we're on the subject, how did you get the nickname “Big Truck”? Was this something you earned or is it something that has stuck with you since you were a kid? Wayne Braithwaite: "No, it was something that I earned. In my career nothing was given to me. I had to work for everything I have. I got the nickname in my first pro fight. I fought an opponent by the name of John Douglas back home in Guyana. I knocked Douglas out in four rounds. After the fight, they asked him to describe my punching power. His exact words were, “It felt like I got hit with a big truck...” read more ...

Fenech to train troubled Tyson

Jeff Fenech: "Mike wants me to help him get ready for a comeback fight in Washington DC in June.

Jermain Taylor: "Could be. I felt a little bit of pressure. All the fans looking like, ‘Is he the future? Is he not the future?’ But I don’t worry about all that though, I just go in there and take care of business..." read more ...
