TQBR Radio 3/24: Jhonny Gonzalez Vs. Gary Russell Preview With Brent Brookhouse

0 comments by on 3/24/2015

Nearly two years after Jhonny Gonzalez shocked Abner Mares with a huge left hook, it’s clear their careers have certainly gone in different directions. For instance, 28 million people in Mexico watched Gonzalez toy with a faded Jorge Arce, while Mares has struggled to impress against nondescript opposition on undercards. The question is whether or […]

Stiverne Vs Wilder Results: Leo Santa Cruz Overloads Jesus Ruiz

0 comments by on 1/17/2015

An ugly mismatch on paper delivered a smidge more competition than expected but with the exact result everyone predicted on Showtime Saturday night, as Leo Santa Cruz halted Jesus Ruiz. Santa Cruz, a 122-pound volume puncher, had more trouble than he should’ve with Ruiz, who never had done anything of note. Ruiz was just an […]

Sick of the drip-drip-drip of year end boxing awards yet? Hard to blame you, hard to blame you. So we’ll bring out two enormous platters to conclude our 2014 awards. In the first installment, that flavor was heavy and serious. In the second one, that flavor is light and fluffy. Just add “award” at the […]

TQBR Radio 12/16: Amir Khan Vs. Devon Alexander Recap, More

0 comments by on 12/15/2014

Boxing doesn’t know exactly where “across the street” is, apparently (photo via). But oddly enough, its two major network players, HBO and Showtime, seem to excel in scheduling shows across the street from one another. It was the last fight weekend of a particularly weak 2014 in boxing, so it was fitting that well over […]

(Esther Lin, Showtime) In a match-up of welterweight contenders from the charming hamlet of Las Vegas, Nevada, Amir Khan put on his best performance in years.

If the pissing contest between HBO and Showtime’s boxing departments could accurately be depicted through the magic of cartoon satire, it would look just like the old Spy vs. Spy series from Mad Magazine (via).

Quick Jabs: Al Haymon’s Takeover Bid; Victor Conte’s Selectivity; More

0 comments by on 10/13/2014

Kangaroo boxing videos have lost some of their appeal, ever since the kangaroo boxing video where one kangaroo sociopathically strangled another kangaroo well beyond the bounds of good taste. The one above isn’t so creepy. It has become a minor smash, with cause. In this edition of Quick Jabs, we’ll talk about human-punching, mainly, and […]

Jhonny Gonzalez Dominates, Retires Jorge Arce

0 comments by on 10/5/2014

Jhonny Gonzalez stretched his win streak to five in a row Saturday evening in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, casually defeating Jorge “El Travieso” Arce in the process. The stoic nature of Gonzalez’s pasting of the veteran made it seem as if Arce was merely an afterthought in the bout. Gonzalez, now 57-8 (48 KO), fought […]
