Taishan isn't gonna go very far in my opinion.

He's just a big dude but once he steps up to someone with technical skill and isn't afraid of the size he will come crashing down.

There's gonna be a lot of boxing in Houston on Saturday.

There's about 15 undercard fights listed on Boxrec.

Frankie Gomez's coming out party.

Hopefully there's some video of Jesse James Leija Jr.'s pro debut.

What's the prediction on Taishan? Is he going to be a good contender or will he be the next Valuvev attraction, just asian?

Also if you spell Taishan, Taishon, it looks like a ghetto hoe name.
