Browne Vs Kalajdzic Results: Kalajdzic Gets Robbed

0 comments by on 4/16/2016

Radivoje Kalajdzic deserved to leave the ring Saturday after getting his hand held up by the referee. Instead, the institution-backed guy — U.S. Olympian light heavyweight Marcus Browne — walked away the victor in their NBC-televised bout. First, it took a bunk 1st round knockdown for Browne to even get the win, because otherwise he […]

The Meaning Of Old Gloves: The Muhammad Ali Exhibition At The O2 Arena

0 comments by Andrew Ryan on 4/15/2016

A plank of wood is an unexpected start to “I Am The Greatest,” the much-hyped Muhammad Ali exhibition at London’s O2 Arena. It’s the door header from 3302 Grand Avenue in Louisville, Ali’s childhood home and the label suggests that a teenage Ali would surely have reached up and touched it on coming home from […]

Manny Pacquiao Rebounds In Perhaps His Last Fight, Decisions Timothy Bradley

0 comments by on 4/10/2016

Manny Pacquiao, if he ended his career Saturday night, did it on a high note. Looking excellent physically and like he was truly enjoying himself after a couple years of declining exuberance, Pacquiao again defeated rival Timothy Bradley, decisioning him and dropping him twice despite Bradley coming in with a solid game plan. It was a history-making […]

Teddy And Freddie: A Story About Boxing

0 comments by Ryan Agius

Somewhere it is written that sons will suffer the sins of their fathers. And I don’t think anything reflects the wisdom of the ages better than the sport of boxing. In this, I’m not saying anything particularly new. Just read Mark Kriegel’s excellent sports bios and his most germane to the sport of boxing, “The […]

Anthony Joshua Wrecks Charles Martin With Pair Of Rights

0 comments by

Anthony Joshua really could be the future of boxing at heavyweight, and as of Saturday, he creeped into the present of the division. “Creeped” probably isn’t the right word considering the demolition job he did on Charles Martin, but there’s still cause for caution. Analysts and fans were rightly worried after Joshua’s showing against Dillian […]

Elemental: Pacquiao Vs Bradley 3

0 comments by on 4/8/2016

Make a checklist of the elements of a great fight, and out of context, Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley sounds terrific. Both have delivered their fair share of blistering action. They’re the two best welterweights in the world, which means when they meet they’ll crown a new, authentic champion — and give Pacquiao a chance to […]

Manny Pacquiao, Tim Bradley, Anthony Joshua And The Rest Of The Week’s Boxing Schedule

0 comments by on 4/5/2016

Four months into the year and we’re starting to get some decent fights. Sure, there’s only two cards of note this weekend, but they’re both intriguing in different ways. First up, chronologically speaking, is a clash of heavyweight up-and-comers Anthony Joshua (pictured, in cringeworthy tattoo form) and Charles Martin on Showtime. Then, later the same day, […]

Adrien Broner Eventually Gets Rid of Ashley Theophane

0 comments by on 4/1/2016

Adrien Broner has had some… let’s say “trouble” in the build-up to his mismatch against Ashley Theophane Friday on Spike. There was the court case he caught for an alleged bowling alley assault and robbery, and then he didn’t bother making the junior welterweight limit. On top of it all he scooped his usual unnecessary […]

Andre Ward Vs Sullivan Barrera Results: Ward Wins, Not Quite Up To His Usual Standard

0 comments by on 3/26/2016

As “performance by any boxer in the world” goes, Andre Ward was brilliant Saturday night on HBO in his official move up to light heavyweight against Sullivan Barrera. As a performance by Ward — and in particular, a performance by Ward that convinced anyone of his chances against Sergey Kovalev in a fight that sounded […]

Joseph Diaz Passes The Jayson Velez Test

0 comments by

Joseph Diaz, Jr. had his hands full with Jayson Velez Saturday night on HBO, but not so much that he couldn’t grab a clear decision victory. He’s a talented guy, Diaz, more talented than Velez, and this was his sternest test yet — and a test that revealed he isn’t quite a complete fighter. One […]

Quick Jabs: Olympic Boxing; Conor McGregor; Bernard Hopkins; More

0 comments by on 3/9/2016

There’s some hand-wringing over in the mixed martial arts world about last weekend’s losses, which spoiled some of the UFC’s plans for some of its biggest stars. MMA friends, some unsolicited counsel, from a long-suffering boxing fan: Don’t panic, and don’t criticize the UFC for being too aggressive in its matchmaking for its stars. For […]

Luis Ortiz Impresses (Some); Jessie Vargas Gets Rid Of That Black Cloud

0 comments by on 3/6/2016

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Let’s do something we don’t do often around these parts. Let’s ask you to set aside the truth of the matter about HBO’s main event Saturday night, which is that it was lackluster matchmaking that wasn’t really worthy of main event status on even a lesser network. Acknowledge the dark truth of it, […]
