The Manny Pacquiao Vs. Chris Algieri Undercard, Previewed (And The Rest Of The Week’s Boxing Schedule)

0 comments by Alex McClintock on 11/18/2014

What’s worse than the tepid undercard to Manny Pacquiao vs. Chris Algieri? Top Rank Promotions’ attempt to get down with the youth with their trash talk gifs creator (example pictured above). Not only is it so very “How do you do, fellow kids,” it also stole the name of friend of the site David Greisman’s column, Fighting […]

Anthony Mundine Pips Sergey Rabchenko Via Surprisingly Entertaining Decision

0 comments by Alex McClintock on 11/12/2014

Anthony Mundine proved he has at least something left in the tank in Melbourne tonight, much to the disappointment of many boxing fans. The junior middleweight fringe contender managed to steal enough rounds in an entertaining, see-saw fight with Belarus’s Sergey Rabchenko to earn a split decision victory. Mundine was hurt at various stages throughout […]

The Week’s Boxing Schedule, Featuring Wladimir Klitschko, Yuriorkis Gamboa And Anthony Mundine

0 comments by Alex McClintock on 11/11/2014

Whoa, there’s lots of boxing on this week. It was a bit sad writing the schedule, though, because so few of the fights are likely to be competitive. At least the top dog of the heavyweight division (get it? Because the picture… it’s of dogs… never mind), Wladimir Klitschko will be on HBO again. Not […]

The Week’s Boxing Schedule, Featuring Bernard Hopkins, Felix Sturm And Tomasz Adamek

Last week marked the 40th anniversary of the Rumble in the Jungle, which mean this week marks the 20th anniversary of George Foreman’s victory over Michael Moorer to regain a version of the heavyweight title at 45. It’s kind of fitting, then, that Bernard Hopkins, who’s even more ancient at 49, is fighting this week. […]

Theattle hath a Mike Thython Thtatue? That’s crazy (and via our friends at r/boxing). Sadly, that’s about the craziest thing going on in boxing this week. Still, the previews for all of the week’s fights are below. Andrzej Fonfara Vs. Doudou Ngumbu, Saturday, Showtime, Chicago. Officially, this card is billed as The Homecoming, but is should probably […]

The Week’s Boxing Schedule, Featuring Martin Murray, Shinsuke Yamanaka And Alexander Povetkin

The stylish chap above is Chilean boxer Hector Villarroel (or possibly Victor Reyes). They don’t make ’em like that anymore. The image is from Flickr Commons, which is a great place to browse for historical images of boxers, often with intriguing back stories. That has nothing to do with the schedule, though — this week I’ve […]

Round And Round, Featuring What’s Next For Canelo Alvarez, Carl Froch, Danny Garcia And Others

0 comments by Alex McClintock on 10/14/2014

I can’t promise you any fights with novelty value like Muhammad Ali vs. Richard Pryor (pictured), but I can offer you a big fresh helping of boxing news. Round and Round is all about fights in the works, fights being cancelled and fights that have been made. Some of the biggest names of the sport are involved, as you […]

The Week’s Boxing Schedule, Featuring Gennady Golovkin, Nonito Donaire And Steve Cunningham

It’s Mario — Mexican-style! You know what else is Mexican style? Mexican Style, which is the name of this weekend’s Gennady Golovkin vs. Marco Antonio Rubio middleweight card. I like the idea of promoting the Kazakh KO-artist to Mexican fans, and Golovkin’s growing cult status is a testament to his appeal. Apart from that card, there’s a […]

The Week’s Boxing Schedule, Featuring Sam Soliman, Jermain Taylor, Andre Dirrell And Carlos Molina

The above video of Jermain Taylor looks like it was made by someone who is definitely not crazy and wouldn’t shoot their cousin… right? Apart from the former middleweight champ/brain-injury-sufferer, there are a few fights on TV, though they’re nothing to write home about (unless you’re one of the boxers fighting, in which case I think at least […]

When Hunter Met Muhammad

0 comments by Andy Ryan on 10/2/2014

“That crazy bastard didn’t even know who I was when I met him in Chicago. I made a GODDAMN FOOL OF MYSELF, Harold!” It is disappointing to travel 2,000 miles to meet an interviewee who has no idea who you are. Hunter S. Thompson had dashed from Colorado to Chicago on the promise of interviewing […]

The Week’s Boxing Schedule, Featuring Curtis Stevens, Jhonny Gonzalez And Chad Dawson

0 comments by Alex McClintock on 9/30/2014

Boxing is a great sport, but it can also be incredibly frustrating. Fights that should get made don’t, promoters squabble and fans get screwed. But jhust when you think you might pack it all in, something — or someone — like Knockout CP Freshmart draws you right back in. In what other sport could a man like Mr Freshmart (who fights for […]

The Week’s Boxing Schedule, Featuring Roy Jones, Ricardo Mayorga And Yory Boy Campas

0 comments by Alex McClintock on 9/24/2014

You read the names in the title correctly. No, you haven’t traveled 10 years into the past — we’re still in 2014. The stars of the past are all fighting this week (perhaps to make up for so few of the stars of the present being in action). I’m going to keep it short and sweet […]

Canelo Alvarez Back To HBO + Round And Round Featuring Carl Froch, Amir Khan, Abner Mares And More

0 comments by Alex McClintock on 9/23/2014

It’s been a while, but we’re back with a bumper edition of Round And Round, with all the business of fights being signed, fights being negotiated and fights being flirted with. Apart from the men in the headline, the fighters from the Mayweather vs. Maidana undercard are busy booking their next fights, Marcos Maidana himself is […]

The Week’s Boxing Schedule, Featuring Omar Narvaez, Kazuto Ioka, Orlando Salido And Richar Abril

0 comments by Alex McClintock on 9/15/2014

After one of the biggest boxing weeks of the year, the next seven days are time for a break for all but the most hardcore fans. It’s not that there’s nothing on (there is, and quite a lot of it is on TV), it’s just that it’s a mile wide and an inch deep (like the […]
