Posted on 03/06/2021 By: Hans Themistode At one point, a Jr middleweight showdown between former unified champion Jarrett Hurd and current three belt holder Jermell Charlo was the fight every fan was craving. Roughly two years ago, both fighters were undefeated champions and regarded as the best in the division. Since then however, they have

Posted on 03/06/2021 By: Hans Themistode Rolando “Rolly” Romero was taken aback when he first heard the news. The WBA “Regular” 135-pound belt holder had no idea that Gervonta “Tank” Davis was considering a move up, let alone on his way to finalizing a deal to face WBA “Regular” Jr welterweight champion, Mario Barrios. There
Posted on 03/06/2021 By: Sean Crose Edwin Rosario was riding high. Not only had the Puerto Rican fighter nearly humbled Hector Camacho, he had upset Livingstone Bramble for the WBA lightweight title just a year earlier. Now the twenty four year old Rosario was getting an extensive write up in the New York Times on
Posted on 03/06/2021 By: Hans Themistode Nothing is official just yet, but according to former four-division world champion Mikey Garcia, his contest against Manny Pacquiao is reaching the home stretch. Earlier this week, Garcia announced that after spending years chasing the future Hall of Famer, their showdown is just about complete. In the eyes of
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
Posted on 03/05/2021 By: Hans Themistode At this point, Ahmet Oner believes it doesn’t make any sense to even try. 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
