Didn't Steve Kim coin the nickname for a few boxers that sticked? Like "Pacman" for Pacquiao and "The Machine" for Matthyse. There's a couple more he coined but I can't remember.

"Canelo's" trainer gave him his nickname.

Orlando "Siri" Salido was given his nickname by his friends as kids, who said he looked like Cirilo from the Mexican telenovela "Carrusel"

Jackal v Jackal

Framptom vs Rigondeaux

Love to see this fight happen.

It's different for all of them but I think "El Terrible" Erik Morales has to be one of my favorites along with "Manos De Piedras(Hands of Stone)" for Roberto Duran.

None more ominous than James "the hammer" butler. Beat his friend to death with a hammer then torched his place.

So Salido is Cirilo? And who is Metodije?
