by David P. Greisman - The most skilled boxers know exactly what’s coming at them and how to deal with it.

Worry not, then. The events of these next 12 months of 2013 cannot catch us blindly, laying us out like Manny Pacquiao at the end of a Juan Manuel Marquez right hand.

Ronny Rios faces Rico Ramos in the main event of “ShoBox: The New Generation.” Commentators Barry Tompkins and Steve Farhood will be tongue-tied while trying to call the fight.
In his continuing quest to compare contemporary boxing figures to historical ones, Max Kellerman refers to himself on-air as a modern-day Larry Merchant. HBO viewers do a collective spit take.
Yet another long past-his prime, far out-of-shape heavyweight announces his comeback. The WBC announces a new line of “Senior” championship belts, which look suspiciously like tacky green suspenders.
