Floyd Mayweather Vs. Marcos Maidana Undercard Results: Mickey Bey Upset Miguel Vazquez In A Snoozer

0 comments by Alex McClintock on 9/13/2014

Mickey Bey bumped off long-time lightweight titlist Miguel Vazquez via split decision in an awkward, tactical fight on the undercard of the Marcos Maidana Vs. Floyd Mayweather Showtime pay-per-view. There really isn’t much to report about the fight; it was a typical Vazquez (34-4, 13 KO) jab-n-grab affair. Bey (21-1-1, 10 KO) seemed to have […]

Floyd Mayweather Vs. Marcos Maidana Undercard Results: James De La Rosa Beats Up Alfredo Angulo

0 comments by Alex McClintock

In the opening bout of the Floyd Mayweather vs. Marcos Maidana undercard on Showtime pay-per-view, middleweight (very) fringe contender James De la Rosa beat up former 154-pound contender Alfredo Angulo, perhaps ending his career. Angulo, who’d blown up to 180 pounds since the weigh-in, looked ponderously slow. El Perro has never been a speedster, but the […]

TQBR Roundtable On Mayweather Vs. Maidana: Bow Tie Edition

0 comments by Alex McClintock on 9/11/2014

So I asked the TQBR team — Patrick Connor, Matthew Swain, Tim Starks, Andrew Harrison, Jeff Pryor and Sam Sheppard — whether they thought Saturday’s fight is going to be competitive, and that’s the look they gave me. The Roundtable is virtual (we all live in different parts of the world), but I assume they […]

The History Of Chino, Or How Marcos Maidana Got His Kinda Racist Nickname

0 comments by Alex McClintock on 9/10/2014

Marcos Maidana is the the kind of fighter fans love: a man of few words and many punches. He’s simple, not in the sense that he’s dull or stupid, but in the sense that he knows what he likes: to fight. Asked at press conference whether Floyd Mayweather is attempting to change the way their rematch will be refereed […]

Ray Rice, Floyd Mayweather And Domestic Violence Hypocrisy

0 comments by Alex McClintock on 9/9/2014

NFL player Ray Rice’s savage February assault on his then fiancee Janay Palmer is national news. Rightly, there is outrage at Rice, who has been let go by his team, the Baltimore Ravens, and suspended indefinitely by the league. A “national conversation” about domestic violence has been opened, according to some. But really, the conversation is about the surveillance […]

Floyd Mayweather Vs. Marcos Maidana Undercard, Previewed (And The Rest Of The Week’s Boxing Schedule)

0 comments by Alex McClintock on 9/8/2014

Wow, is it a pay-per-view week again? Time flies when you’re paying huge amounts to view sporting events of dubious quality. Not that there’s anything wrong with the main event rematch between Floyd Mayweather and Marcos Maidana on Saturday, it’s just that the undercard is a load of bollocks. Though there are big names, they’re in fights […]

Hope you’ve enjoyed the last couple of more or less boxing-less weeks, because the sport is back with a vengeance this weekend. Indeed, it might be the single best weekend of the year so far, and it’s all down to the little guys, with a pair of flyweight bouts set to shake up that division […]

The Week’s Boxing Schedule, Featuring Marco Huck And J’Leon Love

The Queensberry Rules will always have a soft spot for boxing kangaroos — not only are they an emblem of my country, they’re undeniably cool. In this case Fred Morley (the one without the tail) looks like he’s about to get his tail-less arse kicked. Anyway, inter-species fights of questionable ethical status are not really […]

Andre Ward [Insert Boxing Metaphor Here] In Courtroom By Goossen-Tutor

0 comments by Alex McClintock on 8/21/2014

Do you get boxing businessman/Twitter superstar Rick Glaser’s joke? Super middleweight champion Andre Ward today lost another court battle with his promoter, Dan Goossen of Goossen-Tutor, so his record in the courts is 0-4. Like a boxing record, but in the courts, because they’re fighting… nevermind. You could also say Ward is on the ropes, that this is a […]

The Week’s Boxing Schedule, Featuring Austin Trout And Don George

As is often the case when the week’s boxing schedule is thin, we’ve got a cool historical image in the header. This week’s it’s a shot from a boxing gym in Porthaethwy, Wales, via the National Library of Wales. Apart from badass kids in towns with lots of consonants in their name, there’s not much going […]

The Week’s Boxing Schedule, Featuring Shawn Porter, Kell Brook And Felix Verdejo

In the week that a futuristic (and potentially worrisome) new version of boxing debuts in Nevada, I figured I’d give you a flashback to how things used to be with this excellent snap of sailors watching a boxing match aboard the USS Oregon in 1897. Apart from the aforementioned Big Knockout Boxing card on pay-per-view, […]

The Week’s Boxing Schedule, Featuring Danny Garcia, Lamont Peterson And Vyacheslav Glazkov

That cat is disappointed, and why wouldn’t he be? This could have been such a good weekend of boxing, but instead of the first two men in the headline fighting each other, they’re fighting two completely unqualified no-hopers on Showtime. There’s a little bit of boxing around apart from that, including junior middleweight Willie Nelson […]

The Week’s Boxing Schedule, Featuring Sergey Kovalev, Brandon Rios And Jessie Vargas

I can’t tell you why I find that photo so amusing, I just do. It has absolutely nothing to do with the week’s boxing schedule (though there are fights in Wolverhampton, where that kid’s team is from, this week). There’s a split-site triple header on HBO, featuring Brandon Rios and Sergey Kovalev. At the time […]

The Week’s Boxing Schedule, Featuring Gennady Golovkin, Daniel Geale, Bryant Jennings And Roberto Garcia

Forget Al Haymon, South Coast Mitsubishi is taking over boxing South Coast Mitsubishi. That’s what we call the sport nowadays, guys. Anyway, I hope you’re ready for the week’s South Coast Mitsubishi schedule. There’s a lot on, which is good after a few quiet weeks. It would have been even busier, but the the British heavyweight […]
