‼️ ****James ‘Lights Out’ Toney**** ‼️ Changed his life with one punch 🪝🥊

@BoxingCertified @pomara_matt @G__Chain @dougiefischer When your right your right

@rkmatchmaker @pomara_matt @G__Chain @dougiefischer This Katz guy with this b.s.! He convinced Arum to give Toney a title shot. Yeah right! It just never ends with this guy.

@pomara_matt @G__Chain @dougiefischer When Mike Katz (no relation) asked Bob A. how I convinced everyone to give James a shot, Bob responded " that's why he makes more money than you"..lol. Sometimes the stars align for that one historic moment in a fighters career.

@G__Chain @dougiefischer @rkmatchmaker what was your take on this one?

@pomara_matt @G__Chain @dougiefischer What one

RIP Chuck Norris

@BoxingCertified @BoxingNewsED Jake used to come up to the TR offices on 3rd Avenue to visit Teddy Brenner, I heard the same jokes everytime he came in , he was a treasure, loved to sit back and listen to him and Teddy.

@BoxingNewsED Damn, boxing does age you fast! It's a good thing I stopped at the amateur level. He looks like he's in his 70s!!

@VinnysCorner1 Some say it tricks your brain into the sensation that your eating and taking in calories 🤷

Dana White watching Vitor Belfort chew on ice as he cuts weight. Do you know why fighters do this??

@CorpasWriter @kelley_AK @Woodsy1069 Lol probably

@rkmatchmaker @kelley_AK @Woodsy1069 Or so you’re the one he keeps complaining about lol

A history on fight poster design would be cool. As a kid I distributed fight posters to local bodegas for a club promoter way back and in his "design" he always made sure to have at least "one white fighter one black fighter and one bald fighter"

@TalkinBoxing @AVGirl4Life Lol

@rkmatchmaker @AVGirl4Life in that pic...yes, but if you look at her recently...not so much. She seems to not be able to pass a doughnut shop brother! Then again she is filled with hot air.

Be Honest Would you ever vote for AOC?

@CorpasWriter @kelley_AK @Woodsy1069 Lol..geeze..Pee Wee Suarez..I used him a couple of times..he was pretty good

@rkmatchmaker @kelley_AK @Woodsy1069 don’t think so. I was 7-8 when I met Cha Cha. My neighbors were Pedro Montanez & Frankie Narváez & my older brother boxed amateur I knew all his gym mates like Pee Wee Suarez Dom Monaco Jose Resto & I think Freddie Brown liked me because he always asked if i was hungry. Good days

@CorpasWriter @kelley_AK @Woodsy1069 I used a couple of those guys st the County Center in White Plains. Tony got stopped by Maurice Watkins on one of our shows. My very early days in the business. Did you know Skinny Vinny by chance?

@rkmatchmaker @kelley_AK @Woodsy1069 he's give me & my friends $5 to hang his posters along 86 St Stillwell & Ave U. Laundromats pizzerias and newsstands were his favorite spots and always by the subway or bus stop. Any place with windows he used to say

@CorpasWriter @kelley_AK @Woodsy1069 That's from the late 70's..I miss Cha Cha

@Woodsy1069 Here's a basic 1970s poster from a Cha Cha Ciarcia card in BK. Used to staple these 2 posts & give them 2"stores with windows" for him. Deep local card, Park Slope's Louie Hubela, Dennis Tag from Kings HWy, Tony Danza, and Casale who was trained by Red Hook/Bay Ridge's Nick Baffi

@CoachJamesGogue @BoxingCertified @MatthewAguilar5 Yes sir Brooklyn tough

@rkmatchmaker @BoxingCertified @MatthewAguilar5 Tough tough hombre.

28 yrs ago March 14: Vince Phillips stops Alfonso Sanchez in 1, retains IBF 140lb title, Trump Taj Mahal, AC. In 3rd defense of crown won by upsetting Kostya Tszyu 10 months earlier, “Cool” Vince makes short work of Sanchez, who is finished in 2:30. Also, Mullings TKO5 Ciarlante.

@CoachJamesGogue @BoxingCertified @MatthewAguilar5 I used Keith numerous times, 1st time he knocked off one of the Mitchell twins from Philly who we all thought was a top prospect at the time.

@BoxingCertified @MatthewAguilar5 So could Mullings.

@TalkinBoxing @AVGirl4Life If people walked through the district she represents the answer would be a resounding no. But she is a looker!!!!..lol

@AVGirl4Life NEVER in a MILLION YEARS

@HRamirezBoxing @kotickets Shut up Henry...I mean Glaser..lol

@kotickets It’s 90 in Southern California

Spring Break 2026 🏖️

@SantosCooks This unfortunately is a grim reality of the profession they chose Chris. I've seen it many times with guys I made matches for notably Doug DeWitt and James Toney. It doesn't get better, only progressively worse. She should definitely stop if in fact this is the case.

Is it just me, boxing friends, or is Katie Taylor slurring her words in a very worrying way. She doesn’t need a retirement fight she needs to retire. Hall of fame career. Amazing Champion. But she took far too many punches and you can hear them now I fear. Nothing left to prove.

@MatthewAguilar5 Certain images stay with you Matthew, Marc was pacing up and down backstage hyperventilating, I had to sit him down and babysit until he was OK...lol.

@rkmatchmaker Yes? I’m all ears!

30 yrs ago Mar 15: Darroll Wilson stops Shannon Briggs in 3, Convention Center AC. Briggs, 25-0, the showcase of the “Night of the Young Heavyweights,” punishes Wilson in 1st but exhausts himself & is flattened in upset. Also, David Tua blasts John Ruiz in 19 seconds.
