Well, there goes my childhood. On the upside, middleweight Daniel Geale may finally shut Anthony Mundine up on Wednesday night, bringing to a close what has been a long, recurring nightmare for many Australians. In other news, junior middleweight spoiler Carlos Molina is fighting Cory Spinks on Friday Night Fights. There are a few other […]

There's a hell of a lot going on in that music video, just like there's a hell of a lot going on in this week's boxing sched… OK, I give up on grasping at ways to make the video at the top of the schedule somehow related to the schedule. It's just some cool stop […]

(Daniel Geale shadowboxing; photo credit: Laura McClintock) SYDNEY, Australia — If Anthony Mundine is counting on Daniel Geale taking him lightly in their middleweight rematch, he’s got another thing coming. Fifteen days out from their Jan. 20 fight, Geale looks to be in frightening form. TQBR went to scope a “light” workout at Geale’s Grange […]

Like a bowl of ramen, the boxing schedule is slowly heating up. Soon you will need a chopstick fan to cool it down. Yes, your correspondent is still in Japan and is still stretching his metaphors. There are three televised cards on this week, with the highlight being ShoBox’s year-opener headlined by featherweights Ronny Rios […]

Your correspondent is in Japan and, as such, chooses to feature weird Japanese stuff at the top of the schedule. People tell you how strange Japan is, but it’s all true. Say what you like about them, though, the Japanese do all their own stunts. Everything is made here, including the awesome fights that went […]

Every day is Boxing Day at TQBR, even the day after. Apparently the origins of the holiday don’t have anything to do with people punching each other in the head, but we can pretend. On a somewhat related note – have you seen our enormous selection of year end awards, the TQBRies? That’s not actually […]

Well OK, maybe you can a few a few little stocking fillers as well. Tomasz Adamek vs. Steve Cunningham, Saturday, NBC, […]

The above video of ducklings trying to cross a road, Frogger style, is nerve fraying. Watching, you don’t know the outcome, whether the ducklings and their mother will make it to the other side of the freeway. Looking at the week’s boxing schedule, you can’t say the same. The vast majority of the fights this […]

It seems appropriate to head the schedule with a “Gangnam Style” video, since the Korean pop sensation became YouTube’s most viewed video ever this week with 831 million views. We’re all terribly sick of it, but that Christmas lights display is pretty cool. Now let’s forget it ever happened, which we were probably going to […]

Red pandas are pretty cute. But they don’t handle fear very well, apparently. Kind of like the opposite of boxers. This week should give a few fighters a chance to show off their cojones – from Ricky Hatton trying his luck in a comeback to Roberto Guerrero continuing his campaign four divisions north of where […]

Trolls trolling trolls. That's the kind of poetic justice that more than a few boxing fans would like to see from this weekend's biggest bout, featuring lightweights Adrien Broner and Antonio DeMarco. Many would like to see Broner, who failed to make weight for his last bout after admitting to a diet of Twinkies, […]

The world is watching on helplessly and wishing the best for the people trapped on the East Coast of the USA in the path of Hurricane Sandy. Those people include TQBR founder Tim Starks and a handful of contributors, current and former. Our thoughts are with you guys. If the above picture tells us anything, […]
