There was nothing easy about this update of our pound-for-pound list, p4p lists being a concept aimed at determining the world’s best fighters regardless of weight class — and a harmless exercise that isn’t responsible, no matter what HBO’s Jim Lampley said in the debut episode of “The Fight Game,” for making boxers avoid the […]

In the latest policy change at the “Bible of Boxing” to send shockwaves through the boxing community, Ring Magazine announced today on its website that every headline on the site going forward will feature the names of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Manny Pacquiao, regardless of the actual content of the story.

Sticking with the theme from last week’s schedule, here’s a two minute video of movie characters saying “son of a bitch.” As usual, the heading video has nothing to do with the schedule, despite my occasional attempt to make a tenuous connection.

Sheffield’s Kid Galahad dealt artfully with Barnsley’s Josh Wale on Saturday, peppering him silly for nine rounds until the Brampton man was pulled out in his corner due to worsening facial damage.

Channel Five continue their most welcome foray into the sport, confident no doubt that Galahad’s back story, a sort of Luke Skywalker […]

What has this got to do with the video above? Or the boxing schedule for that matter? Very little, though that violent video is rather […]

OKAY, Okla. – Heavyweight Billy Roy Keith, 37, scored a brutal knockout of his wife, Dolores, 25, mere seconds into their brawl Saturday night. Dolores (2-9, 2 KO), a junior middleweight, was intense from the onset, aggressively pushing Billy Roy backward with a flurry of wild, inaccurate blows. Billy Roy (54-37-4, 41 KO), a veteran […]

Living homeless in the Washington, D.C. streets as a child, with just his little brother as family, stealing food to eat… then rising to contender status as a junior welterweight boxer who fights on Showtime and HBO only to find he can’t win “the big one” — maybe that breeds the kind of desperation that […]
