  • Andre Berto is the Next Floyd Mayweather Jr. Opponent

    The next fight for Floyd Mayweather Jr. in his ongoing quest to make insane amounts of money while staying undefeated will be Andre Berto, who is the current Interim WBA Welterweight champion.

  • Pacquiao vs Algieri – Something to be Concerned About?

    Pacquiao vs Algieri – Something to be Concerned About?

    There are many who feel that a fight between Pacquaio and Algieri shouldn’t take place. Those same people think that whoever Mayweather and Pacquiao get into the ring with, if it’s not against each other, it’s not really worth their time, or their money. But with the two (still) biggest names in boxing refusing to fight each other, the options of finding someone to fight are limited unless Pacquiao is looking to repeat himself. And he’s not getting in the ring with Juan Manuel Marquez again. Too much of a risk, not enough of a reward.

  • Kovalev Beats Hopkins, Suggesting It’s Time For Him to Retire

    Kovalev Beats Hopkins, Suggesting It’s Time For Him to Retire

    Bernard Hopkins doesn’t back down from fights, which is what cost him a brutal beating in the hands of Sergey Kovalev, becoming a Light Heavyweight champion for the WBO, IBF and WBA (super), beating the 49-year old journeyman who simply refuses to retire with a unanimous decision.

  • Mayweather Beats Maidana – A Lot Easier the Second Time Around

    Mayweather Beats Maidana – A Lot Easier the Second Time Around

    The first fight made it seem like Floyd Mayweather is slipping and letting age slow him down. His second bout with Marcos Maidana ended those speculations, as the undefeated Welterweight and Light Middleweight champion won through a unanimous decision, not leaving any room for doubt this time.

  • Mayweather vs Maidana – Vulnerable for the First Time

    Mayweather vs Maidana – Vulnerable for the First Time

    Regardless of how surprising it was to see Marcos Maidana do so well in the first fight and actually get a rematch, this fight will be determined by the ability of Floyd Mayweather to stay focused, dodge wild punches and simply carry out his usually very cautious and careful game plan, which has worked out wonderfully for him in his undefeated boxing career.

  • Gennady Golovkin Should Fight Sergio Martinez Next

    Gennady Golovkin Should Fight Sergio Martinez Next

    There aren’t that many big fights possible to make in the middleweight division, but there’s no doubt that best of them should be Gennady Golovkin, fresh of retaining his WBA and IBO titles against Matthew Macklin, fighting against the man regarded as the class of the division for the last few years, Sergio Martinez.

  • Aftermath of the Broner vs Malignaggi Title Fight

    Aftermath of the Broner vs Malignaggi Title Fight

    While Adrien Broner didn’t knock out Paulie Malignaggi like he promised before his debut Welterweight fight, he certainly proved to be worthy of being referred to as the next big thing in boxing, winning through a split decision to claim his third title on his third weight class in the span of only 19 months.

  • Floyd Mayweather – Still Perfect, Almost Boring

    Floyd Mayweather – Still Perfect, Almost Boring

    Like most Floyd Mayweather fights, this one was over before it began. Robert Guerrero talked well before the bout, but couldn’t even get close to the best boxer in the world, who won by a unanimous decision through all scorecards, retaining his WBC Welterweight belt, adding The Ring honor and most importantly, staying undefeated while keeping his place as the number one pound-4-pound fighter in the world.

  • Sergio Martinez – 20 Seconds Away from a Julio Cesar Chavez Knockout

    Twenty second away from knocking out Sergio Martinez. That was what Julio Cesar Chavez was missing to remain undefeated and overturn a fight in which the older Argentinian battered him for nearly 11 rounds. Eventually, the Ring champion managed to make it through, just barely, to claim the WBC middleweight title belt.

  • Amir Khan – Danny Garcia Becomes Light Welterweight Title Unification Fight

    It’s very rare to see a correct and fair decision being made by one of the boxing governing bodies, but giving Amir Khan his WBA title belt back is one of them, making his fight with Danny Garcia a unification bout for Light Welterweight belts.
