Twenty-five years after Mike Tyson’s infamous bite of Evander Holyfield’s ear, boxing saw history repeat itself during a super middleweight bout on ESPN on Saturday night.
During the seventh round of a 10-round match at Madison Square Garden, boxer Edgar Berlanga bit into the shoulder and ear of his opponent, Alexis Angulo, while the two were clinched together. The bite was immediately noticed by the ESPN commentators, and Angulo protested to the referee; but Berlanga was not disciplined. Berlanga would go on to win the fight by unanimous decision, keeping him undefeated at 20-0.
After the fight, Berlanga said he bit into Angulo as payback for getting hit with illegal elbows. “He was throwing elbows. I was about to do a Mike Tyson on him,” Berlanga told ESPN. “He kept throwing his elbows, and I didn’t want to get cut.”

"Champs," which had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 19th, is much more than a a documentary about boxing. As Zeba Blay writes in her review over at Shadow and Act, "'Champs' is as much about boxing as it is about the triumph, and failure, of the so-called American Dream." Following the screening of Bert Marcus' feature debut, the director participated in a conversation with former boxers Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield and boxing promoter Lou Dibella moderated by Emmy-award winning sports journalist Jeremy Schaap. One of the film's storylines was about how boxing plucks usually minority fighters out of poverty, catapults them into astronomical wealth and provides no education on how to navigate the pitfalls of accelerated upward class mobility.

The New York Knicks are one of basketball’s most storied franchises but they haven’t won an NBA title since 1973. Celebrity fans like Spike Lee, Woody Allen, and screenwriter William Goldman worshipped the star-studded — but team-first — Knicks teams of that championship era, and a generation of aging sportswriters refuse to let those hardwood legends die. Actor Michael Rapaport was only three years old when the Knicks won their last title, but he’s turned his yearning for those glory years into a documentary, When the Garden was Eden.
