Michael WoodsBoxing is back, in case you didn't notice onTuesday.
Fights are unfolding tonight (Thursday) in Las Vegas, at the MGM “Bubble,” as Bob Arum and Top Rank seek to keep the momentum going, with a four fight slate.
The face-offs kick off at 8 PM ET, and the weigh-in was held, with extra pre cautions, on Wednesday at MGM.
That is Jessie Magdaleno, a Las Vegas resident, below; he is the favorite in the main event, against Yenifel Vicent, from the Dominican Republic.
Editor/publisher Michael Woods got addicted to boxing in 1990, when Buster Douglas shocked the world with his demolition of the thought to be impregnable Mike Tyson. The Brooklyn-based journalist Woods has covered the sport since then, for ESPN The Magazine, ESPN.com, ESPN New York, RING, and he was editor of TheSweetScience.com from 2007-2015. Woods is also an accomplished blow by blow and color man, having done work for Top Rank, DiBella Entertainment, EPIX, and for Facebook Fightnight Live since 2017. He now does work for PROBOX TV, the first truly global boxing network.
