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:

Watching two rounds of Paulie Malignaggi’s first junior welterweight (140 lbs.) title defense, I saw Malignaggi jabbing Herman Ngoudjo to pieces and thought, “Yup, this is going to be as easy as I expected.” To quote a certain owner of a miraculous hamster, “Not so.”

One busy Friday night, one recantation and one ending to an ongoing saga. Quick Jabs, comin’ up!:

Paulie Malignaggi has something of a persecution complex, but as Nirvana once said: “Just because you’re paranoid/don’t mean they’re not after you.” After winning a junior welterweight (140 lbs) belt in a June performance on HBO that won the admiration of its wizened ringside commentators, Malignaggi had every expectation that he’d be back on the […]

There have been few examples of a complete free-fall from prominence to obscurity quite like to Dominick Guinn has in his seven years as a practitioner of the sweet science. Exploding onto the scene with a three year undefeated streak highlighted by his seven round destruction of Michael Grant (Grant’s and Guinn’s career share some […]

Type a few simple words into YouTube while looking for something specific — like, say, “amazing knockout” and a fighter’s name — and you’ll end up with more than you bargained for. There are all manner of strange and entertaining boxing clips out there, it turns out. The aforementioned method is how I stumbled across […]

No time for blogging when you’re traveling through Ohio to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra (yes, really) and making snow angels out of your Christmas presents (boxing-related book received: “The 12 Greatest Rounds of Boxing”). But I’m back in business. Out of the “promotional tricks I expect would backfire” toolbox this week came a cameo by […]
