Alex Strutt Onward and Upward
by Chris Akers courtesy of BoxingCapital.com
When I first started to write about boxing on the internet, the first interview I conducted was with a promoter named Ken Purchase.

The Demise of Boxing, and the Rise of MMA. Why it’s happening…

Full Agbeko vs Darchinyan Fight Card Results and Quotes
POST FIGHT RING QUOTES
JOSEPH KING KONG AGBEKO: “He [Darchinyan] pushed me in the seventh round and throughout the fight. He is very dirty and rough in the ring. I was fighting two people in the ring: Darchinyan and the referee. But I didn’t care if there were five people in the ring tonight, I was going in to win and come back out with my championship belt.
“Darchinyan talked a lot before the fight and I turned him into ‘the raging bullshitter’ like I said I would. I’m still the champion, not the chimpanzee he said I was.”
“I have always said I would carry the greatness of Ghana with me to the top and that’s what I have done. I want to be considered among the top pound for pound fighters in the world. I think I have earned it.” Read more »
