Bad Left Hook, Global Boxing News and Commentary

It's not worth doing a full round by round, since these are showcase fights and I'm the only person who will be able to watch, but assuming there's a wireless network at the venue, I'll be providing some live coverage of tonight's Broadway Boxing at the BB King Blues Club in New York. On the card, former two-time gold medalist Guillermo Rigondeaux will be facing off against 6-4-1 Lante Addy, while American heavyweight hope Tor Hamer will be facing 6-4 Naser Ali. Also on the card, prospects Luis Del Valle, Gabriel Bracero and Christian Martinez will be fighting. Del Valle is former bantamweight champ Rafael Del Valle's nephew and was a Puerto Rican amateur star. Martinez is a former national golden gloves champ who's pro career got off to a rocky start when he was busted for possession with intent to distribute about a year ago. He claimed he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, and while there was no follow-up news on it, it seems that the charges have been dropped, since he's fighting and not serving 25-to-life. Feel free to discuss any other goings on in the world here as well.
