The Burrell Brothers, Twin Boxers!!! Charlotte NC Fight




Scotty and Deano, The Burrell Brothers


Mirror Images of Each Other, Listening to the Pre-Fight Speech





CLICK THE VIDEO FOR THE, INTERVIEW OF BURRELL TWINS







"Middle Class" Matt discusses the Burrell Twins who are young upcoming boxers. One brother fights out of the southpaw stance and the other fights out of a traditional stance, which makes the Burrell twins, mirror images of each other. The Burrell Brothers fight out of New York, but grew up in England. These young twin brothers have loads of potential, and they have a great look, accents, and could be very marketable.

Preview Adrien "The Problem" Broner(23-0) vs. Vicente Escobedo(26-3) HBO Boxing Saturday Night Fight




"The Problem" is Broner shows no weaknesses as of yet.


Taking a page out of Roy Jones' book.



You may not like the flash, but Broner can back up the hype. The combing of the hair in the ring helps Broner stick out from other fighter. It's why I remembered him.








Adrien "The Problem" Broner is the most exciting young fighter in the game. "Middle Class" Matt previews the fight and gives his prediction for the fight. Also, in this video, you'll hear MC Matt's wish for who the "flashy and explosive" Broner should fight in the future. Broner has one of the best nicknames in the business, "The Problem." The fight is Saturday July 21, 2012 on HBO.

 
FOR THE WHOLE PREVIEW TO THE FIGHT, CLICK THE VIDEO ABOVE






I really like watching Jason Litzau fight, but he was no match for the power and speed of Broner. The KO comes in the round 1!






The dancing and the KO happens in round 4. This is the first time Perez was ever stopped!

Interview with Judge and Referee Bill Clancy who talks Pacquiao vs. Bradley and Boxing



 





In the video above, "Middle Class" Matt conducts an interview with a judge and referee, Bill Clancy at small time boxing event, in Charlotte, NC. Don't Buy The Hype has covered the controversial Manny Pacquiao vs. Tim Bradley decision, from day one. Clancy, who knows the judges from Pacquiao vs. Bradley fight and who seems to really love the sport of boxing, answers questions about the controversial fight and boxing in general. Clancy gave a rousing speech, before the fights began, to the boxers who would fight that night. Despite the bad rap boxing gets(like with the Manny fight) the people who work in and around boxing seem love and respect the game, and Clancy is one of those people. In the videos below you can see Bill Clancy in action in the ring as a referee.



CLICK THE VIDEO ABOVE FOR THE WHOLE INTERVIEW



Below is some action packed footage from the fights that took place in Charlotte, NC on June 15, 2012. Many of these small time fighters, were fighting to put food on the table, and are true warriors of the sports. I have been watching and covering boxing for years, and I recommend to any sports fan that they go and see a live fight. Like many other sports, boxing is better live than on TV. These fights were not televised. A few of the fighters may one day, with some luck and hard work, get TV fights, but most will never fight under the bright lights.
