THE KINGS IS A CHAMPION
Sugar Ray, Roberto Duran, Marvin Hagler +
Boxing fans, don’t get up! Stay down for the count (for the week, we mean). Be a bum, a couch potato, because this week there is so much TV to watch.
PROVOKRs, here is the fight card:
On Sunday, June 6th, The Kings will premiere on Showtime. The 4-part docu-series features true ring royalty: Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Tommy Hearns, and Roberto Duran, aka The Fabulous Four. As stated by The Ring the rivalry between these four fighters, “produced a Golden Age defined by the nine world championship fights between them and solidified their place among the greatest to ever live.”
This doc is already being hailed as a classic.
Also, on Sunday on Showtime PPV, Floyd Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) and Logan Paul (0-1) will throw down for an 8-round exhibition. Mayweather is the hands-down favorite, but the challenger is 18 years younger and has the reach advantage.
The second installment of the two-part doc Mike Tyson: The Knockout aired on ABC. Iron Mike gets The Last Dance treatment. Unlike MJ, he might come out of this looking better. Also, The Knockout is a more compelling story as Tyson rose from brutally humbles beginnings to the highest heights of fame, fortune, and success only to hit rock bottom more than once. He seems to be in a better place now finding peace in family any success in business.
BTW Iron Mike is fighting again. His exhibition vs. Roy Jones Jr. ended in a draw last November. His next bout will be against former rival Lennox Lewis in September. Both events were produced by Tyson’s Legends Only League.
