Teon Kennedy—
A Name That You Might Want To Remember
By Tim Donaldson
The saying goes that the eyes are the windows to the soul. They
can tell a lot about a person. This past Friday was the third
time that I have seen Teon Kennedy box, and the one thing that I
have noticed every time is the look in his eyes. They are always
focused on his opponent with a look of determination. I have
seen a similar look in the eyes of fighters like Miguel Cotto
and Antonio Margarito. Now Teon has a ways to go before he can
be truly compared to championship fighters, but let me explain.

Arce Targets Darchinyan,
Fight With Vazquez Looks Remote
Jorge Arce, one of boxing’s most brash talkers,
is no longer clamoring for a fight against WBC super
bantamweight champion Israel Vazquez. Arce has now set his
sights on WBC/WBA/IBF super flyweight champion Vic “The Raging
Bull” Darchinyan.
“Vazquez had his shot, but he waited too long to make a decision
and quite frankly, I think he was scared of the match up,” Arce
said. “I can only hope that Darchinyan won’t run for the hills
like Vazquez did.” Click Here
