Claressa Shields Dominates Christina Hammer In ‘Most Significant Women’s Boxing Match Of All-Time’

0 comments by on 4/13/2019

Showtime commentators dubbed it the “most significant women’s boxing match of all time,” although there are other contenders. What was totally clear was who won Saturday: American middleweight Claressa Shields beat up German Christina Hammer, nearly stopping her late before taking a wide decision. Shields came in with the reputation of the roughhouser, deservedly. When […]

Alphabets Deliver Foretold Vasyiliy Lomachenko Vs Anthony Crolla Mismatch

0 comments by on 4/12/2019

These are the times where you don’t hear from the defenders of the WBA, WBO, WBF and IBF belts who somehow think they’re good for boxing: when we get a mismatch nobody else but one of the alphabets wanted, asked for, or expected to be remotely competitive. Vasiliy Lomachenko crumpled his lightweight mandatory challenger Anthony […]

The Six Weirdest Things Jim Lampley Has Cried About

0 comments by on 4/6/2019

Let’s just get this out of the way right off the bat: It’s OK to cry. It’s good to cry. I’m crying right now, mostly about Verne Troyer’s death and how I never got to prove my theory that with enough duct tape and personal lubricant you could fit him inside a Pringles can. But […]

Heavyweight Madness: A Division On The Verge Of A Cold War

0 comments by Marc DiPaolo on 3/28/2019

With news breaking last week that Deontay Wilder and Dominic Breazeale will headline a Showtime Championship Boxing card on May 18 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, the heavyweight division seems to have gotten even more strained, just for the moment. Before I ruin your day and ask you how you even still put […]

The Wrong Call: Errol Spence Jr. Dominates Smaller Mikey Garcia

0 comments by on 3/16/2019

Bravery and stupidity often go hand in hand. When the bravery pays off in victory, you look the hero. When the bravery punishes you with pain, you look like you made a foolish choice. Mikey Garcia isn’t stupid in the ring, but Saturday night on Fox Pay-Per-View, his decision to move up to welterweight against […]

0 comments by

We’ll keep updating this Saturday night Fox Pay-Per-View undercard here in the fashion of the times, chronologically but in reverse. ****** The quick knockout trend lasted right until the penultimate bout of the evening, with super middleweight David Benavidez stopping journeyman J’Leon Love in two rounds. It continued the trend as well of guys who […]

Errol Spence Jr. Vs Mikey Garcia: TQBR Roundtable Preview And Prediction

0 comments by on 3/15/2019

Like Arthur’s knights, even the one who fucked his wife, had douchey hair, and eventually the ignominy of being portrayed by Richard Gere, the TQBR Crew must come together to discuss the important topics of the day. Smartphones our swords, and emotional disturbance our armor, we sally forth once more unto the breach, dear friends, once […]

Skill Vs. Will: Dmitry Bivol Easily Outpoints Joe Smith Jr.

0 comments by on 3/10/2019

Since his ascension to the pro ranks after a superlative amateur career, in which he reportedly went 268-15, Dmitry Bivol (16-0, 11 KO) has had a slight “shit or get off the pot” aura surrounding him. Sublimely talented but perfectly content to underwhelm, watching Bivol fight is like watching the world’s greatest lumberjack ply his […]

The Liver Punch: Q=MV

0 comments by on 2/13/2019

Many people think Sir Isaac Newton wrote the equation force equals mass times acceleration: F=m*a. He didn’t. His formula was Q=m*v. Momentum equals mass times velocity. Momentum is a curious thing. We spend much of our lives trying to find it. It seems to be this formless thing that you really want but can never […]

Gervonta Davis Stops Replacement Hugo Ruiz

0 comments by on 2/10/2019

Third-generation Floyd Mayweather clone (by way of Adrien Broner) Gervonta Davis made quick work of late replacement opponent Hugo Ruiz Saturday night on Showtime, stopping him him in one round after apparently breaking his nose. It’s exactly how he should’ve done it, given that Ruiz was a late replacement who’d fought less than a month […]

Get Back To Where You Once Belonged: Sergey Kovalev UD12 Eleider Alvarez

0 comments by on 2/3/2019

Sergey Kovalev got his redemption, whether he wanted it or not. Kovalev (32-3-1, 28 KO) has carried himself of late like a man losing his battle with gravity. His entire aura has just seemed, well, heavier. It’s as if he’s been forced by an unforgiving god to walk through life with one of Chris Arreola’s […]

Same As It Ever Was: Manny Pacquiao Easily Defeats Adrien Broner

0 comments by on 1/22/2019

One of the only assurances in this life is that there are no assurances. Plan all you want but, the universe gets its kicks reminding you who’s actually in charge. If the weatherman says 80 and sunny, prepare to be scraping ice off the windshield of your Ford Fiesta. If your friend says to meet […]

Oscar Rivas Eats Bryant Jennings

0 comments by on 1/19/2019

The American poet Edwin Markham once said, “Defeat may serve as well as victory to shake the soul and let the glory out.” Markham, one can only assume, died penniless and jaundiced to the teeth – just as all 19th-century poets were contractually obliged to. But that kind of street cred merely adds heft to […]

Every Circus Needs A Clown: Manny Pacquiao Vs. Broner Preview

0 comments by on 1/16/2019

Well, here we are. The year is 2019 and we’re somehow discussing Adrien Broner as a principle participant in a somewhat meaningful PPV fight. I shouldn’t have to do this. We shouldn’t have to do this. Coming up with a fresh narrative every time Broner decides to put down the nachos, slap on some gloves, […]
