Posted on 03/06/2021 By: Sean Crose Claressa Shields attempted to make history on Friday night in her home town of Flint, Michigan, as she battled to become the first fighter ever to become a two division undisputed champion. The card started off, however, with a scheduled 6 round bantamweight affair, where the 4-3-2 Shelly Barnett

Less than one week ago, the manager of super middleweight contender Avni Yildirim sat back with his jaw glued to the ground as he witnessed his man receive a one-sided beating at the hands of
Posted on 03/05/2021 By: Sean Crose Claressa Shields returns to action this evening on a pay per view broadcast fight against Marie-Eve Dicaire for the undisputed women’s super welterweight title. The entire card will be broadcast live from the Dort Federal Event Center in Shield’s hometown of Flint, Michigan starting at 9PM, eastern time. The
Posted on 03/04/2021 By: Hans Themistode Legally, Vergil Ortiz is barely allowed to drink liquor. However, that isn’t stopping his current trainer in Robert Garcia from believing his man is ready to face who many believe is the best fighter in the world. “We are going after Crawford,” said Garcia during an interview with Little
Posted on 03/04/2021 By: Hans Themistode The date is set and the time is also locked in. The only thing remaining is the venue. Yet, according to reports, that appears to be on the verge of being settled upon as well. As first reported by Mike Coppinger of The Athletic, Canelo Alvarez vs Billy Joe
Posted on 03/03/2021 By: Hans Themistode Oscar Valdez was good, maybe even great but few, if any, believed he would be able to get the job done against Miguel Berchelt. The two fought in the main event slot at “The Bubble” in the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada just a few weeks ago. On
Posted on 03/03/2021 By: Hans Themistode For his past two fights, Gervonta Davis has fought at 130 and 135 pounds. Historically though, the two-division knockout artist has had issues making weight in both divisions. With that said, he should have no problem with the scale for his next contest. As first reported by Mike Coppinger
Posted on 03/03/2021 By: Sean Crose “A dream turned reality,” Ryan Garcia tweeted in January. “It’s an honor to share the Ring with @mannypacquiao I will always respect what you did in and out the ring. Here’s to the best Man Winning.” Needless to say, Garcia’s post set the boxing world aflame. Here was Garcia, boxing’s hottest
Posted on 03/02/2021 By: Hans Themistode Mikey Garcia figured it would make more sense if he just kept his mouth shut. For years the former four-division world champion would openly express his desire to face Manny Pacquiao and claimed that their showdown was just about ready to get over the finish line. Time and time
Posted on 03/02/2021 By: Hans Themistode For unified super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez, he’s seemingly had two careers. There is the pre-Floyd Mayweather fight version of himself and the current pound-for-pound star who stands before everyone today. Although he was always considered a terrific fighter, Alvarez took his career to a whole other level after
Posted on 03/02/2021 By: Hans Themistode Chris Algieri has heard most of the names. From WBC belt holder Jermall Charlo to former super middleweight champion David Benavidez. All of those names, and several others, are given a very good chance at beating Canelo Alvarez should they ever meet in the ring. Not mentioned amongst those
Posted on 03/01/2021 By: Hans Themistode The moment Vasiliy Lomachenko fell from his pound-for-pound throne, the criticism has come in waves. In what many believed would be another routine win, Lomachenko found Teofimo Lopez a much more complex puzzle to solve when the two battled it out with all of the lightweight marbles on the
Posted on 03/01/2021 By: Sean Crose It’s true that novelty boxing may indeed be more popular than serious boxing these days. Just don’t tell Canelo Alvarez that. The sport’s premiere attraction (at least as far as fighters in their primes go) didn’t take kindly to Jake Paul fans trying to steal his spotlight after a
Posted on 03/01/2021 By: Hans Themistode We all knew it was going to happen, we just didn’t know when. That is, until now. Former unified heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr. will return to the ring on April 24th when he takes on fringe contender Chris Arreola. No specific site has been revealed just yet, but
Posted on 03/01/2021 By: Hans Themistode Fighting on the elite level has provided fighters with more time for leisurely fun. Normally, when a fighter first jumps onto the scene, they can find themselves fighting anywhere from five to ten times per year. Once they’ve established themselves on the very good to elite level, the ring
Posted on 02/27/2021 By: Sean Crose The 7-0 welterweight Vito Mielnicki Jr appeared on Saturday’s PBC card from LA’s Shrine Exhibition Center. His opponent in a scheduled eight round bout was the 10-3-1 Noe Lopez. Mielnicki kept cool in the first, then dropped Lopez in the second. Lopez got up before the ten count and appeared
Posted on 02/27/2021 By: Sean Crose The main event of Saturday’s PBC on Fox broadcast pitted 33-2 super middleweight Anthony Dirrell against the 15-2-0 Kyrone Davis in a scheduled 12 rounder at LA’s Shrine Exhibition Center. Dirrell played it cool in the first and landed well while Davis tried to maintain distance. Dirrell continued to
Posted on 02/28/2021 By: Hans Themistode At one point, the blueprint to defeating unified super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez was clear as day. Keep your distance, incorporate a lot of movement and pot shot him all night long. In short, the Mexican star could be thoroughly outboxed. Floyd Mayweather was the first to give users
