Chris Algieri had a really, really bad night against Manny Pacquiao the last time he was in the ring. There’s no shame in that; Pacquiao has given plenty of great fighters plenty of bad nights. But Algieri has bounced back to a headlining spot on TV, and Friday night on Spike’s “Premier Boxing Champions” broadcast, […]

It’s hard not to filter everything leading up to Saturday into a proxy for the forthcoming Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao battle, which means that, if on the Thursday before the fight, there’s a Filipino boxer on TV, you wonder whether his outcome says anything for his countryman Pacquiao’s chances. So when we got a […]

Apparently the image above (via) is of a book that is a study and critique of pop culture in the 70s and 80s. The title is also, in order, a less-clever nickname for Gennady Golovkin, and what Marco Antonio Rubio is trying to avoid becoming. That’s the best we can do. We’re bloggers. This week […]

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 […]

The above video of Jermain Taylor looks like it was made by someone who is definitely not crazy and wouldn’t shoot their cousin… right? Apart from the former middleweight champ/brain-injury-sufferer, there are a few fights on TV, though they’re nothing to write home about (unless you’re one of the boxers fighting, in which case I think at least […]

Real life Mike Tyson quotes for Nintendo’s Punch-Out make the whole game a lot weirder. (But if you want more of them, have at it.) The game of matchmaking never ends; in this edition of Round And Round, we contemplate what’s next for Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, Ruslan Provodnikov, Andrzej Fonfara, the men in the […]

“Okay. Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne and Floyd Mayweather walk into a dressing room doing a three-way hug…” Though that might seem like that’s the set up to one of the most mind- and/or gender-bending joke in the universe, it actually happened the other night. Let the reality of that sink in for a moment. Past […]

(via @shosports) How in the world did a judge see Adrien Broner winning all 10 rounds vs. Carlos Molina Saturday night on the Showtime Pay-Per-View undercard of Floyd Mayweather-Marcos Maidana? Broner clearly deserved the win, by seven rounds to three or eight to two, but 10 rounds? And there’s the rub. Broner, moving down to […]

Which staged-seeming heavyweight video to start this dual “fights in the works”/”news roundup and analysis” post with? Throwing a shoe or overturning a table? We’ll go with Shannon Briggs throwing a shoe at the champion, Wladimir Klitschko, and then with Tyson Fury throwing a table in advance of his rematch with Dereck Chisora. QUICK JABS […]
