As fights occur, updates will post, starting with David Haye-Audley Harrison and moving on to the Manny Pacquiao-Antonio Margarito fight and undercard. Mike Jones-Jesus Soto Karass: Jones shot his wad in the 2nd round then struggled thereafter, but the welterweight prospect escaped with a majority decision over the tough, volume-punching Karass. I had Jones winning […]

(Pacquiao left, Margarito right; credit: Chris Farina, Top Rank) There’s a not-as-cut-as-usual-looking Manny Pacquiao, weighing in yesterday at a slight 144.6 to Antonio Margarito’s 150. It’s not surprising that Pacquiao would come in under 150; it’s surprising how far. He’s emphasizing his speed, but I wonder if that’s too bad a starting point for him. […]

When the brash, trash-talking London native, David Haye, first moved up from cruiserweight dominance to invade the heavyweight landscape, he carried the hopes of an entire boxing public with him. The Klitschko brothers, while unfairly ridiculed and marginalized at times, definitely aren’t the most exciting or most marketable of heavyweight champs. The division has stagnated […]
