0 comments by Lou Catalano on 6/20/2015

Well, it wasn’t pretty, but “Showtime” Shawn Porter scored a unanimous decision victory over Adrien “The Problem” Broner on NBC’s “Premier Boxing Champions” main event. Broner’s “problem” was one that has plagued him throughout his career — he simply wasn’t busy enough. While Broner has been campaigning at junior welterweight, Porter has been fighting […]

What’s The Problem: Can Adrien Broner Find Some Consistency?

0 comments by Lou Catalano on 6/16/2015

Adrien Broner has never had a problem convincing us that he has the look of a superstar. His issues usually arise when he steps into the ring. It’s then that he has a hell of a time convincing us that he belongs among the best fighters in the world. For whatever reason, Broner’s performances in […]

I don’t want to be the guy to say it, but there’s almost too much boxing on this weekend. Most of it’s on Saturday night (damn it boxing, why can’t you just pace yourself), but there’s also a rare Sunday card. Let’s dive right in. (The picture, by the way, is a colorized shot of US […]

Man Vs Ghost: Robert Guerrero Gets A Tune-Up

0 comments by Lou Catalano on 6/2/2015

Robert Guerrero needs a win. Badly. He’s lost two of his last three, albeit against some pretty nasty welterweight competition named Keith Thurman, Yoshihiro Kamegai and Floyd Mayweather. He lost basically every second to Mayweather, but gutted out a win 13 months later against Kamegai, who is a badass. In his first fight for Al […]

Slow Burn: Manny Pacquiao Vs Floyd Mayweather Preview And Prediction

0 comments by Matthew Swain on 4/30/2015

When you work with explosives the worst moment is just after you pop smoke. Did I get the time fuse right? Did I use the right amount of C4? Did I crimp the blasting cap tightly enough? Will it go off too soon? Will it go off at all? Then you relax just a little. […]

When in doubt, we visit our friends over at Reddit’s boxing forum and always find some kind of gem. That’s a chart for Floyd Mayweather fights. Check out the Miguel Cotto result, by the way.

[UPDATED] Boxing returned to network television this past weekend, and everyone lived. There were no international incidents, no epiphanic guarantees of boxing’s survival, Casey Ryback didn’t need to be called… It was just boxing. Sure, there were things people didn’t seem to like (Hint:

Keith Thurman, Adrien Broner Triumph In Boxing’s Return To NBC

0 comments by Patrick Connor on 3/8/2015

It was boxing’s big moment, and the first fight card cementing the deal between Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions and major television network NBC. And while neither Keith Thurman’s decision win over Robert Guerrero nor Adrien Broner’s decision win over John Molina, Jr. Saturday will be mistaken for actual “Fight of the Year” contenders, and […]

TQBR Radio 3/3: Keith Thurman Vs. Robert Guerrero Preview With Aris Pina

0 comments by Patrick Connor on 3/2/2015

We knew a while ago that Al Haymon would be entering the boxing fray with a pocket full of cash and television dates. Ever since, the debate has been about whether or not that’s a good thing, and how good the product would even be once it got here. And now it’s here. Some may […]

The Week’s Boxing Schedule, Featuring Keith Thurman, Adrien Broner And Zou Shiming

For a while it looked like Manny Pacquiao was getting into the trash talk spirit with Floyd Mayweather by wearing the shirt above. Unfortunately, it was not to be. We should have all have realised that Pacquiao is too polite even to trash talk via dress. Some wiseguy had Photoshopped it on to him. Still, […]

On Prospects And Underdogs

0 comments by Andy Ryan on 1/24/2015

There’s a difference between an underdog and a human sacrifice. Underdogs go up against the odds but with enough of a shot to get the bookies nervous and the fans talking of “what ifs?” It’s not the same as when a fighter who everyone knows is hopelessly mismatched takes a hammering. Ask Rod Salka. Too […]

Boxing In 2014, Reviewed (And A Glimpse At 2015)

0 comments by Tim Starks on 1/11/2015

On the surface, boxing in 2014 sucked. Everyone knows this, and most everyone knows why. Scratch a little deeper, and it still sucked — worse than any year since the mid/late-2000s — just maybe not as atrociously as commonly understood on the surface. There’s little need to rehash, at length, the rather obvious diagnosis about what ailed […]
