The biggest fight of the weekend is of course Vitali Klitschko-Chris Arreola at heavyweight, already covered. But you’ve got to hand it to GoFightLlive for picking up what could be the most fun fight of the weekend, David Diaz-Jesus Chavez at lightweight, AND another noteworthy bout to boot, Jean Pascal’s first defense of his light […]

Deja vu, son. This weekend, a fighter of Mexican descent will attempt to pull what would be a monumental upset against a style nightmare of a boxer who has a legitimate claim to calling himself “the best,” but who divides public opinion between love and loathe.

I got the main gist of what I wanted to say into yesterday’s post, but there are, as the headline suggests, a few other topics to discuss in greater depth about the Floyd Mayweather-Juan Manuel Marquez pay-per-view.

Floyd Mayweather is, and always has been, a magnificently gifted fighter, but what we saw tonight with him shutting out Juan Manuel Marquez was akin to a prime Shaq visiting his local high school and scoring 100 points.

Suddenly there’s a hell of a lot of action at featherweight, as the headline suggests. But in this unusually brief edition of Round and Round, the feature where we surf around the news of fights in the works, we also touch on Joshua Clottey-Kermit Cintron at welterweight and a few other noteworthy bouts outside the […]

We pause from the all-consuming Floyd Mayweather-Juan Manuel Marquez blogging (especially because of how disgusting that fight now is to me, per the blog entry just below) to catch up with what’s happening in the rest of the boxing world. There are some other fights this weekend, including tonight; Acelino Freitas and Micky Ward are […]

Whatever interest Floyd Mayweather-Juan Manuel Marquez had, it has to have a lot less now after the weigh-in today, where Marquez weighed 142 pounds and Mayweather weighed 146, scratching the consensus view that the bout was to be held at 144. Marquez was already making a big leap up from lightweight, and those extra pounds […]

At this moment, bantamweight Alejandro Valdez ought to be the owner of the 2009 Upset of the Year so far. Instead, somebody in Mexico spun some kind of wheel of crazy to produce three separate rulings about the conclusion of the fight, and curiously enough, the end result saved Fernando Montiel — the bigger star […]
