Line ’em up, knock ’em down. They had the right idea back in the day. The big fight this week features Bernard Hopkins, who’s about as old as the footage in that GIF, re-doing his abortive and “controversial” bout with Chad Dawson. Fox Deportes has the best potential action fights of the week with a […]

Beard slap, mofo! There are a lot of guys with great beards (in the figurative sense) fighting this weekend, but no-one with great facial hair. But chin hairs aren’t the main criterion upon which we judge our fights, so it’s all good. This week’s schedule is actually kind of packed. I’d make some kind of […]

If you think the lack of big fights in April is scary, put things in perspective. Look at Lindsay Lohan’s face. Truly terrifying. There’s no healthy way to ruin your face, but boxing has to be better than whatever she’s done. At least Daniel Zaragoza had great cardio fitness. But yeah, the schedule ain’t great. […]

Fightin’ animals have been a bit of a theme for the last few weeks on the schedule, so here’s man vs. goose for your amusement. Sadly, it’s about the best fightin’ you’ll find for a little while, with the schedule really thinning out for the end of March and through April. Now that Yuriorkis Gamboa […]

You can only celebrate the zeal with which Itchy and Scratchy try to kill each other. We might not want boxers to go to their lethal extreme, but some of them (Tim Coleman, anybody?) could learn something from the cat and mouse’s commitment. Though it’s a bit depressing that the Simpsons have been on TV […]

I can’t promise you that this week’s fights will be as adorable as the one in the video above. In fact, it seems downright unlikely. Still, there are a lot of them, so maybe it’s possible. Sergio Martinez seems pretty popular with the female fans and his opponent in this Saturday’s St. Patrick’s Day middleweight […]

I wasn’t so sure about the whole world ending in 2012 thing until Sonny Boy Jaro beat Pongsaklek Wonjongkam on the weekend. Now I’m starting to think it might happen. The only thing that stopped me from running into the street for a naked looting session was Wlad Klitschko KOing the hapless Jean Marc Mormeck. […]

Just like Blake Anderson, we’re nice guys at TQBR. So nice that we bring you the schedule even when there’s virtually nothing on. Not unless you’re a Klitschko beatdown enthusiast/German, which is pretty much the same thing anyway. The younger Klitschko is fighting former cruiserweight Jean-Marc Mormeck, who really has no business in the ring […]

Don’t ever say that TQBR is not interested in the future of sport. Last week’s schedule brought you the innovation that is Taser Ball, this week it’s blindfolded boxing. Sure, they thought of it in 1949, but it probably just needed better PR. Hell, it looks like Paul Williams learnt some of his technique by […]

I’m almost as excited by the future of sport (see the above video) as I am about the boxing that’s on this week. Luckily, if there’s one sport that will be spared in the Taser introduction revolution, it’s boxing. Boxing is already super exciting and features lots of people suddenly falling over. But imagine the […]

Another week, another stupid video. Thanks to the return of big time boxing to TV, we’re still in a celebratory mood here at TQBR. Even the scrapping of this week’s big fight, Victor Ortiz vs. Andre Berto II, can’t dampen our enthusiasm. We’re da bessssssssss. It is a little slow though, without Ortiz and Berto […]

Veteran horse trainer Peter Casey is pretty pumped after winning his first grade one race. You should be too! Not because you won a grade one race, but because this week is the start of an eight week stretch of great fights. Friend of the site David Greisman catalogued what’s going on much more eloquently […]

Like poor old Jilted John, boxing fans don’t have much to do this week. Come to think of it, being a committed follower of the sweet science is a bit like having a girlfriend. Both tend to take up your Friday and Saturday nights. When they’re there, you think about how much free time you’d […]
