With the recent string of engrossing and entertaining action that has taken place inside the squared circle as of late it is hard to imagine why we collectively keep referring to the heavyweight division as boxing’s “glamour” division.  Still this weekend we are treated to a most interesting heavyweight match-up as Eddie Chambers will travel […]

Perhaps Amy Winehouse is bringing crack back into vogue. Because somebody’s smoking something to think that Floyd Mayweather’s the greatest fighter ever. Too often lately, people have been spouting that nonsense.

At long last, Saturday evening, shortly after midnight the wait was over and the first official mega-fight of 2008 was underway. In the midst of a wild and rather rambunctious Puerto Rican crowd, Felix Trinidad gave an effort to his highest honor but in the end, it wouldn’t be nearly enough as the sports former […]

This past Friday night I covered a local professional show put on by Galvans Promotions in Ft. Worth, TX.  The card featured two young prospects you happen to be brothers as well as very accomplished amateurs. Club shows such as these are the lifeblood of the sport as it offers fans to witness prize fighting […]

When it don’t fit nowhere else, I shoehorn it into this here “Quick Jabs”:

It’s been one unbelievably busy week for the fax machines of boxing promoters and managers. More fights — many of them big-time — were signed, almost signed, agreed to, or scrapped in the last seven days than I’ve seen in a long while. So here’s a run-down of all the battles involving at least one […]

“75” rows=”20″ style=”width:100%; height:550px;” class=”mceEditor”> In case you missed the recent development surrounding Jeff Wald, Executive Producer for The Contender reality series and head honcho of Tournament of Contenders promotional group, and Boxingtalk editor Greg Leon you can click here to read Wald’s side of the story or click here to read Leon’s side. Apparently the argument erupted […]

This Saturday, two living legends who have been — at their best — two of the most exciting performers in the boxing ring of the past decade-plus will have a long-lusted after throwdown. The only hitch, and it’s a big one, is that Roy Jones and Felix Trinidad simply cannot, and will not, be at […]

It’s not as if I spend much time grading myself on how my opinions match up with those of other thoughtful types — if I may be so bold as to give myself that designation — but I can’t help but notice how at odds my views have been with respectable boxing writers and commentators […]

BBC Sport is reporting that a deal has been struck that will pit light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins against super middleweight champion of the world Joe Calzaghe. Well it appears that 2008 is shaping up to be a hell of a year for the sweet science. Frank Warren, Calzaghe’s promoter, is reported to have announced the […]

Nothing too major took place within the world of fistic prizefighting but below are a few thoughts on the ESPN/Telefutura televised cards.  ESPN Friday Night Fights: Quite possibly one of FNF better broadcasts.  Not only did the showcase two rising stars in the super middleweight division but I must say that I was thoroughly impresses […]

Holy cow. If there were any questions before about whether Edison Miranda would carry his power up to super middleweight (168 lbs.), they are now answered (go to about :53 of the clip): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBX4tcLuhqk&rel=1

Since I’m about the only person any of my friends know who follows boxing religiously, they come to me frequently when the sport trickles into mainstream consciousness. The most recent opportunity for my consultation has been the Jan. 19 fight between Roy Jones, Jr. and Felix Trinidad. “Roy Jones is still fighting?” one asked me. […]

Your faithful bogger Sean (yes, I just dropped the third person) has been busy tending to the ever increasing demands of life.  With that said, let’s all get Punch Drunk!

No time for fancy column titles like “Quick Jabs.” Just straight to all-out action, baby:
