It was a fun Induction Weekend at the Florida Boxing Hall of Fame. I feel bad for Lou DiBella, who had a plane to catch (which he made by only minutes), so he couldn't stay to get his FBHOF ring or to accept for Bob Arum, who is recuperating from knee surgery.

Just got word that Richardson Hitchins got sick & his v Oscar Duarte is off. More focus now on Gary Antunar & Andy Hiraoka.

WOOPS! One of the greatest actresses ever--Jodie Foster--hit the blooper world with a big one Tuesday a.m. on NBC's Today Show. She asked to cut it out, but they were Live! Nothing like live TV! They all laughed & handled it well. CBS thanks her.

In 1979, I gave Ring Magazine's "Fighter of the Year" Award to Sugar Ray Leonard, who was 9-0 that year. I don't understand why so many feel this year it's Bud Crawford, who was 1-0. He gets "Performance of the Year." Fighter Award goes to 4-0 Naoya Inoue. @dougiefischer
Question of the day: When the @NYMBaseball play the World Champion @Dodgers in 2026 at Citi Field, will the Mets play the "Trumpet Song" when Edwin Diaz walks out of the Dodgers' bullpen?
The Mets NEVER should have let Diaz walk!

Congratulations to all the inductees to the IBHOF's Class of 2026, especially to my pal, @KevinI . Can't wait to.psrty with you all in June. Get your autograph hand ready to sign, sign & sign some more!
π Pryor TKO 14 Arguello is the most controversial finish ever seen in a superfight:
π₯ Pryor hurt in Round 13
π SMELLING SALTS administered between rounds
π§΄ "THE ONE I MIXED!"
π₯ Trainer PANAMA LEWIS banned from boxing and jailed the following year for glove tampering π‘
Condolences to talk show host (and huge boxing fan!) @jimmykimmel on the loss of his best friend & bandleader, Cleto Escobedo. @gerrycooney & I would love to have Jimmy as a guest on our SiriusXM show.
I have been gutted today by the news that my longtime friend, combat sports journalist @tgerbasi (Thomas Gerbasi) passed away suddenly. He was on my SiriusXM show a few days ago, sounding thrilled as he talked about his new book "Boxing: The 100 Greatest Fighters."
RIP Thomas
I just visited the champ in his place. He will soon start his vacation with his family. He has 2 fights left with @RiyadhSeason in β26. We offered him to work with us until he quits and retires. I want go give a special thank you to @Canelo for the special gift. He gave me the gloves of the fight, and I appreciate it very much. π²π½πΈπ¦
The @IBHOF should change the category "Non-Participant" to a name such as "Contributor." I also believe two non-champions, @gerrycooney & George Chuvalo, should be inducted. No non-champ has ever carried as much popularity decades after retirement as Cooney.

Will you crazy fans stop with the rhetoric that Hamzah Sheeraz' handwraps were loaded & his gloves tampered with. You sound like Deontay Wilder after he was smoked the first time by Tyson Fury.
Fury beat Wilder that night, fair & square. Sheeraz did the same to Edgar.
I was just informed that "Elegant" Eddie Post, a popular figure on the NY Boxing scene, has passed away after a shot, furious battle v cancer.
We in NY boxing all loved the guy.
R.I.P. Eddie

This was ruled a KO.
Hmm. Was this a Punch or an Elbow to the forehead?
We await the verdict of the Oneida Tribal Nation Boxing Commission.

Main event winner Richardson Hitchins, & co-feature attraction Andy Cruz put on Master Classes in the Theater at MSG.
Hitch may be the best 140lb'er out there; Cruz may be the best--yes, the BEST--at 135lbs.
