Fighting for More than Glory: The Stories of Joe Louis and Jack Johnson
Joe Louis and Jack Johnson are two of the best boxers of all-time. World champions of a sport during a time when boxing was second only to baseball in terms of national popularity in the US. The path towards being a champion was not as easy one for either of them, and the realities of racism in the US made this path all the more difficult.

Mayweather's successor relinquishes title, officially kills bantamweight
Shakur Stevenson, who is seen as Mayweather's successor, has officially announced to the public that he will relinquish his WBO 126-pound featherweight world title and move up to the 130-pound bantamweight division. He will certainly win his second world title earlier than Mayweather, who won his second title WBC 135-pound lightweight gold belt by beating Castillo when he was 25 years and 2 months old, while Stevenson just turned 23 at the end of June.

Reviewing Saraya's AEW Debut
All Elite Wrestling had their highly promoted Grand Slam edition of Dynamite; seriously, I love these special Dynamite episodes. It's basically a pay-per-view for free, similar to WWE's special episodes of NXT. These episodes often have loaded cards, a big fight feel, and most of all, huge surprises. Grand Slam was no different, and the surprise came after the end of one of its premiere matches: the four-way match for the Interim AEW Women's World Championship.

Wladimir Klitschko Leaves Nothing to Chance by Preparing 100%
Photo by Web Summit Heavyweight Champion Wladimir Klitschko was born in the Ukraine to a military father and spent much of his childhood moving around. The life on the run included the Czech Republic, Lithuania and Kazakhstan, but things settled down when California became his home front in 1991. Still, the slow down didn’t obstruct his 59-3 career record, and the four heavyweight championship belts that he owns. On the way, the deadly blows he inflicts have him nicknamed the steel hammer. But being the toughest guy on Earth doesn’t prevent him from admitting to a frailty that the rest of us could certainly identify with.

A Look Back: The World Heavyweight Championship
Among the long list of things I love about professional wrestling: the belts. Different promotions have had some cool-looking belts over the years, but IMO, the best looking belt in all of wrestling was the one used as WWE's World Heavyweight Championship during the beginning of the Ruthless Aggression Era. The belt actually had a long history dating back to the 1980s, as it actually served as the National Wrestling Alliance's top prize before gaining more steam as the main belt for World Championship Wrestling.

Reviewing WWE's Brand New Women's Tag Team Champions
The main event of this week's Monday Night Raw featured the finals of the anticipated WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Tournament, which consisted of eight teams competing for the vacant titles. The tournament started on the August 8 episode of Raw, and originally consisted of the following teams: Iyo Sky & Dakota Kai, Tamina & Dana Brooke, Nikkita Lyons & Zoey Stark, Sonya Deville & Natalya, Raquel Rodriguez & Aliyah, Shotzi & Xia Li, Alexa Bliss & Asuka, and Nikki A.S.H. & Doudrop. The tournament lasted three weeks and came to an end this week, and in what is considered a stunning surprise, Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah defeated Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai to capture the vacant titles.

Earlier on this year I published an article discussing the Women's Featherweight Division in the UFC. Unfortunately this division, without question is the weakest division in the whole UFC. They don't even have an official top 10 ranking. Amanda Nunes is the Women's 145lb champ and that's it. As it stands even with the prospect of Kayla Harrison making her way to the UFC for a "super-fight" with Amanda Nunes. That's really all we have to look forward to regarding that division. Unless of course out of nowhere Dana fines an absolute monster of a woman with a following that rivals Conor McGregor. Which let's be real, what are the odds of that happening? I still have faith the division can grow given enough time and love, but while we wait on that. If we can't go heavier, let's see what would happen if we went lighter for the 5th UFC women's weight class.

Double champ is back
I'm a little late but sue me. I still have to work my day job so I'm not writing as much as I would like but I'm working on that I promise. Anyways, Amanda Nunes is back, that fight was a freaking war! Wow, that fight definitely lived up to the hype and certainly earned the UFC way more fans. I have to give it up to both Pena and Nunes. I didn't really mind who won the rematch, the narratives both ways were great. But it is amazing to literally watch history be made, as Amanda said in her post fight interview she's the only double champ to regain her double champ status after losing one of her belts.

We Are Finally Getting Jordynne vs Masha
Impact Wrestling held their latest pay-per-view event, Emergence, though because I had my hands full watching so many other things, I only watched some of this event. I didn't mind that; only two matches had my focus, and one of them was the Knockouts World Championship contest between two-time champion Jordynne Grace and challenger Mia Yim. The match was back and forth as expected, but in the end, Jordynne emerged victorious and will continue her reign as champion. Just as the two combatants were set to shake hands, they were interrupted by the appearance of Masha Slamovich, and when she appeared, I simply went, "Here it is."

Should Nikkita Lyons Turn Heel?
As a fan and avid watcher of WOW - Women of Wrestling, I'm still elated to see Nikkita Lyons in World Wrestling Entertainment. She's one of a few names from WOW who have hit the mainstream market; Impact Wrestling currently has Gisele Shaw, who competed in WOW as Azteca, and in the case of Nikkita Lyons, she competed as Faith the Lioness in the promotion. I remember that gimmick, it mainly centered on her music background, and I also remember being afraid that they would make her a heel. Wrestling promotions always seem to make villains out of multi-talented characters, it's an easy thing to do, but that was not the case with Faith the Lioness. Nikkita Lyons (real name Faith Jefferies) was signed by WWE in 2021, and made her televised WWE debut on New Year's Eve on an episode of what was then known as 205 Live (it's now NXT Level Up). In WOW, I didn't want Faith to be a heel, but after eight months of seeing Nikkita, I now want Nikkita to be a villainess, because she has the look.
