Have you ever had one of those days?

Have you ever had one of those days?

You know…when you literally want to punch the living sh*t out of somebody? Yeah…having one of those weeks. But anyway….let the boys from the Dorchester Boxing Club show you how it’s done. I spoke with Anthony Hines a while back and the DBC welcomes everyone 

Boxing for nerds…

So this video is everywhere today and I love boxing too much not to have it posted here. Eric Kelly is just flat out hilarious….. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syhb3z4pTFQ]

The Southie 3 Piece…

The Southie 3 Piece…

Typically if I saw someone in the stance and approaching me I would get in the stance as well. You have to defend yourself….and nobody wants to get hit with a 3 piece…nevermind getting hit once. But those Southie boys can be crafty…and have devised a combo that just can’t be defended…the Southie 3 Piece.

Dude…if some starts waiving their junk at you…you have a couple of options.

1# Drop your hands and laugh and run the risk of getting hit with a straight right.

2# RUN – I like this option…you don’t get hit with flying junk and you can get help.

Southie just keeps bringing the fight game to new levels….

 

Give me my ear back…

Give me my ear back…

Apparently Tyson and Holyfield were hanging out this past weekend. They have obviously buried the hatchet but talk about awkward moments. Hey whats up brotha!!… (a stalled awkward hug, while looking over the shoulder ensues)

Cops and Firefighters…

Cops and Firefighters…

Yes…public safety….and the competition between both branches of public safety…thats what we will be discussing here on dotrat.com today. (cheesy 80’s talk show music) How many cops do you know? How many firefighters do you know? Growing up in Dot it was a career path

Goodbye Goody…

Goodbye Goody…

There’s 3 things that all Massachusetts boxing fans will always let you know. Rocky Marciano was undefeated, Mickey Ward is made of steel, and Hagler beat Leonard. Brockton has been home to some of the best fighters this world has ever seen, and this weekend 

Dana White is p*ssed…

Dana White is p*ssed…

So I have been watching MMA for about 16 years now, and I’m still a huge fan. Boxing was always the sport for my family growing up and I still love it, but I got tired of the corruption element. Watching the UFC grow over 

Why fighters rule…

Why fighters rule…

Because at their core they tend to be incredible human beings…most tend to be void of insecurity or vanity. You do have the Mayweather’s of the world but is he really a fighter? Manny Pacquiao would probably disagree. But it’s remarkable that given the line of work, most of these guys possess the best virtues. Take Urijah Faber….this kid is a mixed martial artist who held a belt for a while in the WEC before they got purchased by the UFC. He became somewhat famous for his trademark long hair. Recently his sister got into a bad car accident and needed brain surgery. So what does Urijah do? He shaves off his trademark locks to show solidarity with his sister who had her head shaved for surgery. Just a solid move on his part so his sister wouldn’t feel so alone through the rehab process.

Smokin Joe…

Smokin Joe…

Just wanted to take a second to send my prayers out to one of the greatest warriors in the history of boxing…. Joe Frazier. Joe is currently battling liver cancer and is in hospice care.  What would boxing lore be without the Ali Frazier trilogy? [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wKYbU4wvrQ]
