This Is It.

It's a way of life. It's sweaty all nighters. It's brand new button downs. It's marvelling over the sheen of a 45. It's every day being an agonizing wait for Friday. It's all the little details coming together. It's something many claim a part of, with very little understanding of it. It's the never ending hunt for the perfect shirt, the perfect record, the perfect everything. Good enough is a phrase that doesn't exist. If you've ever spent a weeks wages on a tune. If you've ever shaken with excitement when digging through a vintage shop produced an original Ben Sherman. If you've ever spent all night on a dancefloor. If you've ever truly lived. That's what this is, that's what this means and has meant for years. Some get it, the majority doesn't. If you're part of it, take pride. If you take no pride in it, stop wasting your time.

FNF: Nino Benvenuti versus Carlos Monzon I

A different level is brought to any fight when the animosity is real. One becomes so use to manufactured animosity being simply another marketing tool in a promoters arsenal. To see two men with a genuine dislike for one another go at is a rare spectacle.

End of An Era

20131014-201412.jpg


This past Friday marked the end of an era, with Ace Face Clothing Company announcing they were closing up shop. Purveyors of the absolute finest tonic available on the market, the business was proving to be an all too time consuming hobby and thus time was called on the venture. But fear not, the company is still trying to get its one of a kind tonic out to the masses with a massive sell off. A range of top notch fabric is still available, so be sure to head over to their site and pick some up. We can say with certainty there isn't a better tonic you'll come across.

It was announced some time ago that Legendary Nights, HBO's show dedicated to remembering some of the biggest nights in the history of the fight game, was making a comeback. Cue excitement. It turned into borderline hysteria for many fight fans when it was announced the epic first showdown between Mickey Ward and Arturo Gatti was to be the bout featured. Next Saturday the show officially makes its comeback, and HBO has given us a sneak peak. We'll be watching.

Another "I Am The Gorgon" Teaser

What a nice little Sunday treat we have here, a new clip running just under 3 minutes from the Bunny Lee documentary. This one outlines a bit of the rivalry between Striker and Clement "Coxsone" Dodd. Early reviews thus far have been very positive, meaning we're hoping the film gets a more widespread release in the near future or a DVD release sooner rather than later. You can never get enough Bunny Lee.

Time For A Change

Now don't let the headline fool you. This isn't another article recommending we get rid of Big Sam, proclaiming the season to surely end in relegation if he stays. But there are enough worrying signs about that point to a change certainly being needed.
