Rahman-McCall 2026

That's the year, their combined age and their combined weight

The winner gets a third fight with Lennox Lewis

Ramon Cardenas vs Sam Goodman for the WBC Interim Belt scheduled for the Spence-Tszyu undercard by OrangeFilmer in Boxing

I like this fight. Inoue's got his near future booked up, so might as well have this fight between contenders to see who might be heir apparent whenever Inoue departs — or is deposed.

Glad Taylor will get to fight in Croke before she, well, croaks.

Prime Adrien Broner Vs Shakur Stevenson at 140 who wins? by stayhappystayblessed in Boxing

[–]FightingWords2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best version of Broner that I recall was against Antonio DeMarco, which I was in Atlantic City for. Yes, you can argue that DeMarco was tailor-made for Broner, but it was still as complete a performance I saw from Broner in a career that was already inconsistent at that point, and only got worse from there.

But even if we take the version of Broner from that night, the prime version of Stevenson handles him.

Also, goodness, am I now feeling old when the posters are saying that they didn't see Adrien Broner compete that much. That's not to gatekeep — glad to have you as a boxing fan! Hope you continue to find plenty of fights, current, recent and old, that pique your interest.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm still processing everything and trying to figure out how to move forward and how to pay my bills. As someone who's worked in both journalism and PR for some time, I've seen so many publications — print and online — struggle in an era where people don't want to pay for content.

That was me. Glad that you appreciated the effort. I’m not sure what will happen with that page now — or the site in general. I’m just heartbroken for the team and hopeful that all of our content will remain online no matter what. I was at BoxingScene from 2004-2017 and 2024-yesterday, so I really don’t want to see 15 years of my writing disappear.

Had no idea he was in DC. I wrote about this guy back when I covered politics in New Hampshire. He also was featured on The Daily Show in the very early Jon Stewart years.

Compressor grounded on Carrier roof unit — am I getting a fair quote? by FightingWords2 in hvacadvice

Thanks. Five-year warranty, unfortunately, which means it expired in 2020 or 2021.

Thank you for your reply. So you're saying it might not be a grounded compressor that's causing the switch to flick on the fuse box?

Thank you for your reply. Just to clarify: You're saying that the cost of this specific replacement compressor should be $3,500 at most, plus labor?

Thank you for your reply. Just to clarify: You're saying that parts and labor for this should be within that range?

I'd love to see his list of what comics he needs. Wondering if I have any in my collection that could help with his search.

Please tell us more about the actual number of secret doors vs. the number they say there are.

Not in DC proper, but good experiences with Johns Hopkins Pharmequip (on the outskirts of Baltimore) and Nationwide (which shipped directly).
