Floyd Mayweather is going to jail. According to TMZ and the live stream they provided, Mayweather pleaded no contest and was sentenced today to six months in prison for assaulting his ex-girlfriend by Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa. Three months of the prison term will be suspended, which leaves three to serve, […]

There was an element of the cartoonish about what Nonito Donaire did to Fernando Montiel’s face in the 2nd round of their Feb. 19, 2011 rendezvous. You can imagine the artists and writers at a Warner Bros. storyboard session, coming up with a scenario where, during a zany bit of fisticuffs, one ‘toon caves in […]

Insofar as pound-for-pound lists are debate fodder — and it’s one of the main ideas — there’s a lot to debate to be had with at the end of 2011 with this accounting of the top fighters in the world regardless of weight class. More than any time in a couple years, there’s a real […]

(Tom Casino, Showtime) ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — It was, by turns, boring, exciting, sublime and ugly. Fitting finish for Showtime’s Super Six tournament, yeah?

It’s been forever and a day since we’ve gone all Quick Jabs or Round And Round, a product of me slowly waking up from my hibernation of a few weeks back. That, and not having all that much compelling material. But the incoming mail tray is stacking up, so we need to get back to […]

The California State Athletic Commission voted 5-1 Tuesday to change Bernard Hopkins’ October light heavyweight loss to Chad Dawson from a 2nd round TKO to a no contest. Which is fair enough since, you know, Chad didn’t actually knockout Bernard. He picked him up and dropped him on the canvas, causing B-Hop to injure his […]

Ouchie, Giovani Segura. The junior flyweight champ’s first real capable opponent at flyweight, Brian Viloria, did a number on that noggin of his Saturday, for sure.
