Keep Punching



La UFC hizo su regreso a CDMX éste pasado fin de semana por primera vez desde el 2019. Desafortunadamente no fue la noche para 2 peleadores nacidos en México durante las peleas estelar y co-estelar. El ex Campeón de peso mosca Brandon Moreno, intentó su pelea hacía fuera contra el más largo Brandon Royval (quién fue el pasado contrincante al título).Y aunque los golpes de Moreno parecían hacer más daño durante la pelea, no fue suficiente en cuestión de puntos. 




Mientras que Yair 'La Pantera' Rodriguez, quién peleó en la Capital Mexicana la última vez que pasó la UFC por México, no se pudo haber lucido más durante el Primer Round en su pelea de revancha contra Brian 'T-City' Ortega el Sábado pasado. Ortega, quién es de sangre Mexicana, no se encontraba arriba del Octágono desde su derrota contra Rodríguez en Julio de 2022 debido a múltiples lesiones, y aún así se levantó de 2 caidas en ése Primer Round para después ganar la Pelea por sumisión en el Round número 3.

Speaking of Mexico, the Marlins signed Emmanuel Ramirez this past month to a Minor League Deal and he got into yesterday's Spring Training Game coming over from Minor League Camp. The Dominican native Ramirez pitched last season in the Mexican League, and he wasn't the only guy from Minors Camp to appear in the Grapefruit League Game against Houston. Former BCU Alum Cody Morrissette picked up a Double late in the Contest vs the Astros as well.





The Marlins are on a west coast Florida road trip as we speak, playing the New York Yankees tonight in Tampa, then heading to beautiful Clearwater to face the Phillies tomorrow.

Staying in the State of Florida, both the Magic & Heat are in action this evening. Orlando welcomes the Utah Jazz and their own Rookie of the Year/All-Star Paolo Banchero back, after missing Tuesday's Game, though that didn't even stop the Magic during their butt whooping over the Brooklyn Nets.






The Heat meanwhile visit Denver for the first time since last year's NBA Finals. Miami will bring momentum into the Rocky Mountains, riding a 7 Game Winning Streak following their Win in Portland Tuesday. The Visitors however, will be without Tyler Herro.

Regresando al mundo de combate, nos esperan 2 peleas de box con mucho significado en 2 diferentes categorías de peso. En Marzo, chocan 2 gigantes que pudieran ser los próximos contrincantes al Título de Peso Completo que incluye ex-Campeón Anthony Joshua contra el Campeón de la UFC Francis Ngannou.





La pelea Joshua/Ngannou es un Choque muy intrigante y por más de una razón. En papel, Joshua debería de entrar al Combate como favorito, pero no se puede sobreestimar el poder que poseía Ngannou, quién tumbo al Campeón de Peso Completo Tyson Fury en su Debut de Box. Joshua también a visitado la lona contra Wladimir Klitschco y Andy Ruiz.





Un mes después de la Pelea entre los Pesos Completos, se encontrará en el Ring Devin Haney y Ryan Garcia, 2 Peleadores de Peso Ligero quién no le han temido a la pelea grande en sus carreras, lo que no se a podido decir de otros Boxeadores dentro de la División (😤 tos 😤 tos Tank Davis/Mayweather/todos los que están en las oficinas de Al Haymon).





 Haney, al igual que Joshua, debería entrar como favorito contra Garcia, quién decepcionó al no levantarse contra Tank Davis el año pasado. Garcia de su parte, merece credito por haber aceptado la Pelea con Davis, donde ni era su peso/con cláusula de rehidratación, porque sin todo éso ni hay Pelea. Mientras que Haney peleó contra Vasyl Lomachenko en 2023, donde le dieron la decisión al Estadounidense, aunque ni yo ni muchos lo vimos así. 





El Combate ocurrirá el 20 de Abril, desafortunadamente un día que reconocerá bien Ryan Garcia (smh). Despierta muchacho!







One last one, on the Marlins Pitching front to be exact. The Fish seem to be willing to give A.J Puk a true Rotation opportunity here at the start of Spring. It certainly was interesting hearing Puk would build up as a Starter, seeing as the tall Lefty was one of the Marlins better Relievers in 2023. 






On the flip side, imagine if Puk can nab a Rotation spot and how that could lengthen the Staff. The only concern I would imagine being Injury, something the former University of Florida Gator has struggled with a little bit over the last couple Seasons in the Bullpen's of both the Marlins & A's.





Btw, those Gators were upset by Stetson University on Tuesday 🐊🐊🐊.

Distrust, can you blame us

  From the Luis Arraez Trade on May 03rd, having Tim Anderson become the only Free Agent signing during an entire Off-Season, igniting the Franchise into yet another Fire Sale. There's a reason, or 2, or 3 Marlins President Peter Bendix has earned much distrust within the Fish fanbase. Not even mentioning the man/circumstances whom brought the P.O.B.O to Miami was Owner Bruce Sherman and his handling of former Marlins G.M Kim Ng. So when Bendix strikes a move during the Winter Meetings, dealing Marlins Home Run Leader Jake Burger to Texas for 3 Prospects, it's no surprise fans show so much displeasure. Especially when you come to find out the move wasn't even money related for the low revenue Marlins, as Burger will not be Arbitration Eligible until 2026, meaning his '25 Salary will be closer to the Major League minimum. So why deal Burger if you're Bendix & the Fish? You've heard a lot about the move potentially clearing up space at positions like 1B/DH for...

Fight Week

  The Rematch for the Heavyweight Title in the sport of Boxing is set for Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Oleksandr Usyk defends his crown against the best big-man in Boxing of this generation, Tyson Fury. After such a closely contested Fight this past May, which saw Usyk narrow out a Split-Decision, there's high anticipation for Saturday in the desert. Less than 7 months ago we witnessed the first 'Undisputed' Heavyweight Championship Boxing Match since 1999, which saw Usyk nearly stop Fury in Rd. 9, after a flurry of combinations to the kisser had the 6'9 Englishman on queer street. The change in tide during the Bout however, came when it seemed Fury was in complete control during the middle Rounds, following massive uppercuts (including to the body) which seemed to really hurt the former Light Heavyweight Champ. Fury also recovered brilliantly in similar fashion which has made him a legend in the Sport during many a Contest, howbeit ...

  As the Marlins completed their penultimate Road Trip of 2024, going 1-6 against two mediocre Teams of the National League in Pittsburgh & Washington, they'll now return Home to face the Club with the 2nd best record in all of Baseball in the L.A Dodgers starting tomorrow night. The Fish now stand at 55-95, a whopping 40 Games Under .500 with 12 Games remaining. The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp still have a week to go on their 2024 Calendar, the last Marlins Minor League Affiliate with Game action remaining. Lefthander Dale Stanavich will get a Promotion for this final week from Double-A Pensacola, who played their final Contest of 2024 yesterday. Stanavich put up some solid numbers out of the Blue Wahoos Bullpen and was a part of the 2023 Jupiter Hammerheads Title run last year. Speaking of the '23 Hammerheads, fellow Lefty in that Jupiter Bullpen Evan Taylor himself had a solid campaign. Racking up 52 Strikeouts in 44.1 Innings for High-A Beloit, to the tune of 2.84 ERA.
