Finally cranked out a new podcast. My guest is the great writer
Jose Corpas. We talk about his new book - The 4-Belt Error. Great discussion about the structure of boxing throughout its history and how older fighters are given short shrift for not being "champions".

Went to see Dean Wareham (former Luna and Galaxie 500 frontman) play at Bowery Ballroom this Saturday. Great show. I sang along with every song. Good times.

So boxing beat the NFL on Netflix. Such a shame the powers that be in boxing don’t work together to package a product to the networks where the best fight the best on a regular basis. They could command huge money on multiple networks & push the sport forward.

Netflix created a mostly solid NFL experience, but viewership is still TBD
On Wednesday, Netflix streamed a pair of NFL games, for the first time ever.

My favorite smoothie place with authentic Mexican dishes - Don Pepe Tortas & Jugos in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Not sure if the smoothies will actually cure your hangover, headache or diabetes - but they’ll most definitely taste good and make you feel better.

Seeing a ton of great fights going to Riyadh again. Definitely mixed feelings about it. Glad to see great matchups happening in the sport. But having the fights so far away from where any of the fighters are based - just doesn’t seem right. You lose something without a home crowd.

Great choices Melissa Jo. I love the Trainspotting soundtrack.
I'd say my top five are:
1. Taxi Driver
2. Trainspotting
3. Rushmore
4. Elevator to the Gallows
5. Pina
Honorable Mention: Pulp Fiction, Repo Man, Blowup, Superfly, Easy Rider, The Harder They Come, Liquid Sky, A Clockwork Orange

And another thing . . . I wouldn't be surprised to see Top Rank bring Inoue over here sometime in April. Probably be in Vegas and most likely on a weekend when the Dodgers are at home. Just sayin'.

Be on the lookout for some big announcements tomorrow for the February 22 show in Riyadh. Definitely, some good heavyweight fights coming up.

Also wanted to mention Duarte-Akhmedov from the Latino Night card, a real grinder. That's a solid main event or co-main on another card. At Ring City, we were always trying to cook up Central Asian/Eastern Euro vs. Mexican fights because the styles mesh so well for TV. Deep card today.

Latino Night delivered! Zurdo just a step ahead of CBS all night - landing the more eye-catching shots. Barboza's length and quickness too much for Ramirez. Farmer giving Zepeda all he could handle, incl. a KD. Collazo unifying in impressive fashion. Big night for GB! Kudos!
