1. Heavyweight Contender Calvin Brock is blind in his right eye. Awhile ago I stated Brock had surgery to repair a detached retina in his right eye. Well it appears he cannot see very well at all in that eye and is out of boxing indefinitely. Being out of boxing is unfortunate, but fortunately for Brock boxing was not his only means of livelihood. He stated he is working to become a real estate broker, a State Farm insurance agent, and also is aspiring to do boxing commentary. I believe he also has an online travel agency. So although I am sad that Brock's boxing career is paused at the very least, I am happy that he does have options.2. On the undercard of the David Diaz-Manny Pacquiao fight on June 28, Tye Fields will fight Monte Barrett. Fields is heavyweight promoted by Top Rank that has not fought any good competition and Barrett will be his toughest test. Barrett has always been just a little over average but never that impressive. Should be an interesting fight.
3. Immediately after HBO's boxing doubleheader on April 12 between Cintron-Margarito and Cotto-Gomez, HBO will present Countdown to Hopkins-Calzaghe. It will be a 30 minute preview to hype up the fight Hopkins-Calzaghe fight that will happen the very next week on April 19 live on HBO.
4. Seminole Warriors Boxing, promoters of Edison Miranda are considering suing Mikkel Kessler and his promoters claiming they negotiated a contract in bad faith. At the same time Kessler was negotiating and finally agreeing to fight Miranda, Kessler was petitioning the WBA for title fight. Seminole Warriors Boxing claims Miranda missed out on a nice payday as well as national tv exposure when Kessler pulled out. This may get ugly.
