And that’s unfair. Canelo, yes even in the days after his sound defeat to Dmitry Bivol, is an amazing fighter.

Posted on 05/23/2022 By: Hans Themistode Canelo Alvarez’s plans were crystal clear. After pilfering every world title at 168 pounds, the Mexican star would then audaciously go up in weight to take on WBA 175-pound titlist, Dmitry Bivol. Once Alvarez cleared that hurdle, he would then move on to a third, and presumably final, showdown

Posted on 05/21/2022 By: Sean Crose Let’s face it, no one really expected Don Moore to do all that well against Floyd Mayweather when the two men stepped into the ring to square off Saturday in Abu Dhabi.

Posted on 05/22/2022 By: Hans Themistode Although a fairly jam-packed crowd in Resorts World Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, was left shellshocked following Janibek Alimkhanuly’s second-round stoppage win over Danny Dignum, Alimkhanuly predicted an explosive win from the moment both signed their names on the dotted line. Initially apoplectic over the sudden withdrawal of Demetrius

However, while Pascal has wrapped his waist with gold several times over, numerous disparaging words were hurled in his direction. Following Pascal’s close but

Posted on 05/20/2022 Clarence Booth had grown sick and tired of the up and down performances followed by lackluster results.
