Manny Pacquiao seeks a Hollywood ending to his rags-to-riches story. At 46, can he flip a sad script that's been set by so many aging legends before him? My Ring Magazine feature story following a camp visit and interview ahead of #PacquiaoBarrios. ringmagazine.com/en/news/manny-…

Manny Pacquiao seeks a Hollywood ending to his rags-to-riches story.

At 46, can he flip a sad script that's been set by so many aging legends before him?

I talked to Bernard Hopkins. He holds the record at 49 as the oldest champion in boxing history. Manny Pacquiao, 46, wants to break the mark. The Executioner is rooting for Pac-Man, but he shared the harsh reality of what's in store. ringmagazine.com/en/news/bernar… #PacquiaoBarrios

Bernard Hopkins was brutally knocked out of the ring in his last fight at 51. “When Father Time shows up, it normally doesn't tell you or give you a warning—it's unannounced and there aren’t any negotiations. He just needs to stay away from the top guys, or else it’s execution.”

Isaac Cruz's fight against late-replacement opponent Omar Salcido will be for the WBC interim 140-pound title, the sanctioning body has revealed. Subriel Matias won the title last week with a close win against Alberto Puello. Matias is supposed to face Dalton Smith in November.

An emotionally and physically scarred Gary Russell Jr. returns from a 42-month layoff during #PacquiaoBarrios. After fighting just 7 times in 10 years, and dealing with and healing from the death of his dad and brother, Russell is ready for one last run. ringmagazine.com/en/news/gary-r…

"I would have loved to compete more frequently," Russell said. "But if you want to be blunt about it, when I was at the top of my game, a lot of these guys were not in a rush to step in the ring and compete against me.” Russell wants fights with Tank and Roach before retiring.

Jesse Rodriguez is counting his chickens before they hatch, booking an undisputed fight before the one he has tonight is a success. The little known Phumelela Cafu is promising to crash to party with the upset of the year by KO’ing Bam. #RodriguezCafu ringmagazine.com/en/news/massiv…

Manny Pacquiao has only one knockout win since 2009. Pacquiao KO'd David Diaz, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, and Miguel Cotto in a row from 2008 to 2009 and has only stopped Lucas Matthysse in 2018 since then. How does #PacquiaoBarrios unfold tonight?

Austin “Ammo” Williams withstood heavy artillery and survived some adversity against late-replacement opponent Ivan Vazquez to score a ninth-round stoppage. My Ring Magazine recaps for #RodriguezCafu. ringmagazine.com/en/news/ammo-w…

A patient Diego Pacheco muted Trevor McCumby’s posturing with a polished jab to pepper his way to a near-shutout decision win. The workmanlike win was comfortable, clear, and decisive, but left many desiring for more risks from Pacheco. #RodriguezCafu ringmagazine.com/en/news/diego-…

Baby-faced assassin Jesse Rodriguez is one step closer to becoming an undisputed 115-pound champion. After a competitive nine rounds, Bam clocked and rocked Phumelela Cafu to close the show in 10. Fernando Martinez now looms on Nov. 22. #RodriguezCafu ringmagazine.com/en/news/jesse-…
