Everything BUT Canelo Alvarez Versus Avni Yildirim

Everything you need to know about Canelo Alvarez’s fight this past weekend rests in the fact that the fight itself was basically last on the list of things people were talking about afterward. Those conditions have not changed, either. And we are no better than the masses, apparently. Let’s take them one at the time, […]

Errol Spence Jr Vs Mikey Garcia Results: Undercard

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.

Anthony Dirrell Vs Marco Antonio Rubio Results: Dirrell Wins, Obviously

“Premier Boxing Champions” has been on a heater, and that means some of the dreck that comes with it is forgivable right now.

The Week’s Boxing Schedule, Featuring Anthony Dirrell And Tomoki Kameda

Foxy boxing! Get it? They’re foxes and they’re bo- Anyway, the boxing schedule: it’s pretty chill ahead of next’s week’s big fight (or should that be “big fight” — I don’t think I’ve ever experienced so little buzz for a Floyd Mayweather show).

TQBR Radio 8/12: Shawn Porter Vs. Kell Brook Preview With Brian Campbell

The above representation (via) of how an average 13-year-old girl feels about school every day is exactly how we all feel about cards featuring mismatches, actually. As admirable as matching Danny Garcia against Rod Salka would have been — had it actually been made for admirable, “let’s give this guy a chance” reasons — it […]
