Is it Danny Jacobs? Is it Shawn Porter? No, when their powers combine, they form Danny Porter! Anyway, enough jokes at some poor digital producer’s expense, let’s get to the Round and Round — fights in the works, fights that might be in the works and fights that are definitely (maybe) going to happen. Some […]

I’ve been telling you, get on to Flickr commons, because it’s full of amazing photos like the one above of Muhammad Ali meeting and greeting in the Netherlands. It has nothing to do with the week’s boxing schedule, but god damn, it’s cool. The schedule is also quite cool, with a few different things happening […]

Previously: a primer on the rematch; a Bradley-Pacquiao edition of TQBR Radio; keys to the fight. Next: a staff roundtable. Usually pay-per-view weeks are busy in boxing, as promoters look to cash in […]

Mike Tyson and Street Fighter: it’s the best of the ’90s all in one place! The week ahead in boxing might not provide as much entertainment as Tyson with sound effects, but there’s a lot on. I guess you could describe the schedule this week as wide, not deep. As always, it’s a testament to […]

Keeping up with our recent theme of historical headpunching, here’s a picture of “two women boxing” from an unknown year. It’s from Flickr Commons, which, like I’ve previously said, is bloody addictive. This week there’s plenty of the regularkind of non-historical boxing on, with fights in Japan, North Dakota, New Jersey and Mexico. Globalisation is […]

It was a simpler time when a couple of 12-year-olds could not only be full-time employees of the British Navy, but have a fistfight on the deck under adult supervision. The photo is from Flickr Commons, an incredible repository of digitised versions of the world's public photo archives. I highly recommend you check it out […]

As you may already know, adorable animals fighting is totally our bag here at TQBR (though obviously we're not in favour of animal cruelty). These taxidermised squirrels going at it totally fit the bill, then, since they were already dead when they were taxidermised (we hope). Anyway, enough about squirrels, let's talk about humans fighting. There […]

It's sinister-looking redhead week in boxing (which explains the creepy picture), with Saul "Canelo" Alvarez fighting on pay-per-view against Alfredo Angulo Saturday. As usual during a PPV week, we're going to give the undercard a slightly more detailed preview treatment, as well as look at the rest of the week's fights, such as they are. […]

At TQBR we like to expand your sporting frontiers, which is why we’re leading this edition of the weekly schedule with this gif of excited South African cricketer Dale Steyn. Like Steyn, we’re excited. Excited about big fights being back on the menu. Those large events come courtesy of HBO, AWE (formerly Wealth TV) […]

There’s never been a better time to be someone who used to get hit in the head for a living. Two senior senators from both U.S. political parties are former boxers, along with the prime minister of Australia, Ukraine’s opposition leader and this little congressman from the Philippines you might have heard of. With the […]

Well cut of my legs and call me shorty, is it time for the schedule again? This week’s video comes courtesy of Western Force rugby player Nick “Honey Badger” Cummins, who has some interesting things to say, doesn’t he? His fellow Aussies Daniel Geale and Garth Wood are fighting this week, and there are a […]

This picture is in no way connected to the boxing schedule, but it is awesome. Unfortunately the boxing schedule is not, and cannot even make a claim to be a diamond in the rough like last week’s. There are a few shows, though, so TQBR will talk you through them as always. Fidel Maldonado, Jr. […]

I know everybody told you the schedule is sparse this week, but there are actually some really good fights. I know, I was as shocked as these lions. Still, there's not much point in going through our normal format, since there's not a huge number of fights. On Wednesday there's a streaming card from Montreal on something called PunchingGrace.com. Do […]

Watching ESPN’s Friday Night Fights, we all had a realisation: Dusty Hernandez-Harrison doesn’t have a bad tattoo. Dusty Hernandez-Harrison has the worst tattoo. And it’s not like other boxers aren’t vying for the dubious honour. As TQBR has previously highlighted, Marcos Maidana has a devil child on his chest and Odlanier Solis let a devil […]
