If there’s one advantage of living on the other side of the world, it’s that we have summer when you have winter. Here in Sydney Australia, not much happens in January. People escape town and the heat and go to the beach; there’s no traffic and no hassles. The boxing schedule has been reflecting that. […]

It’s another quiet one on the old boxing front. Thank the boxing gods for ESPN2, because without that channel there’d be virtually nothing on. Well, not nothing. There’s a German show featuring Arthur Abraham’s return to middleweight. So pretty much nothing. To the fights! Teon Kennedy vs. Chris Martin, Friday, ESPN2, Las Vegas. Philadelphian junior […]

We’re back to normal operations and action stations. This week’s boxing schedule isn’t crowded, but it’s not bad for the first week of the year. What could be a better way to welcome in the new year than watching people punch each other? I can’t think of anything, but that might have something to do […]

The schedule this week is pretty sparse, apart from the one bigsexyhugemouthwatering fight: Andre Ward vs. Carl Froch. Since it’s one of the very best fights that can be made right now and we have no idea who is going to win, we’ll just have to deal with an otherwise quiet week. There are a […]

The headlining video is probably a bit rude, but we politely suggest that you sit down and read the week’s boxing schedule. It doesn’t shine resplendent like last week’s, but it’s not too shabby. By my count, there are five Ring-rated contenders in action, four of them fighting between themselves. Big time boxing is heading […]

A nice, solid week of head punching this week. It’s no quite a smorgasbord, but there’s a nice HBO split-site doubleheader and a few other interesting tidbits. Saturday’s big show is coming from both Mexico City and Cincinnati and features Saul “El Canelo” Alvarez and Adrien Broner against solid but less than stellar opposition. Apart […]

Of all the weeks leading up to New Year, this week has the weakest boxing schedule. So if you’re planning that winter vacation or have something you’ve been meaning to do on a Friday or Saturday night, do it now, for God’s sake! Because after this, there’s really no break. If you go out, you […]

(language NSFW) You can thank me later for introducing you to the beauty of Aussie hip hop. There’s no time now, though. We have to get to this week’s fight schedule, which, with the scratching of Marcos Maidana-Robert Guerrero, is a lot less exciting than it could have been. We’ve got a “big” heavyweight card […]

Besides the bantamweight tournament finale freshly previewed below, there are indeed a couple other worthy bouts happening this week, one of them worthy enough for our Alex McClintock to go cover it live and in person. This is how it do: Kermit Cintron vs. Antwone Smith, Friday, ESPN2 et al, St. Charles Mo. Someday, somebody […]

Brace yourself over the next month for a pretty slow period in boxing, in terms of big fights. We’ve got the bantamweight tournament finale between Joseph Agbeko and Abner Mares Aug. 13 and the Aug. 27 junior welterweight showdown between Robert Guerrero and Marcos Maidana, then, besides that, just some interesting smaller fights here and […]
