Lamont Peterson Skips Past Edgar Santana With Ease

0 comments by Patrick Connor on 8/9/2014

Junior welterweight Lamont Peterson improved his record to 33-2-1 (17 KO) by outclassing and eventually overwhelming Edgar Santana on Showtime. Santana, 29-5 (20 KO), came forward from the opening bell but couldn’t muster much consistent offense, and was overwhelmed by Peterson’s better technique and accuracy. In the end, Peterson’s measured, careful approach rendered Santana an […]

The Week’s Boxing Schedule, Featuring Danny Garcia, Lamont Peterson And Vyacheslav Glazkov

0 comments by Alex McClintock on 8/6/2014

That cat is disappointed, and why wouldn’t he be? This could have been such a good weekend of boxing, but instead of the first two men in the headline fighting each other, they’re fighting two completely unqualified no-hopers on Showtime. There’s a little bit of boxing around apart from that, including junior middleweight Willie Nelson […]

50 Ways To Kill A Boxing Match

0 comments by Tim Starks on 8/5/2014

To fans of other sports, it’s just so obvious: The Spurs face the Heat in the NBA Finals because of course they do; the Spurs won the Western Conference and the Heat won the Eastern Conference and the two winners decide the champion. In boxing, it is never so simple, and it is especially complicated […]

TQBR Radio 8/5: Brandon Rios Vs. Diego Chaves Recap With Corey Erdman

0 comments by Patrick Connor

The location pictured is potentially where boxing officials obtain their licenses, attend upper level certification meetings, shower, shave, and gather to plot the eventual demise of the sport (via). Coincidentally, that “Shady Characters” picture just barely beat out a photo of referee Vic Drakulich being creepy as the featured image for this article. Who would’ve […]

Quick Jabs: Hopkins Vs. Kovalev Ramifications, Arum’s Orgy, Conte’s Trustworthiness

0 comments by Tim Starks on 8/4/2014

That Vice Sports interview between Carmelo Anthony and Daniel Jacobs doesn’t really get going until about five minutes in, but it’s good after that. We won’t take five minutes getting into a juicy Quick Jabs, which delves into the topics in the headline, the popularity (or lack thereof) of Gennady Golovkin, some wacky business involving […]

The Unbearable Lightness Of Being — Ricardo Lopez And The Kazakh KO King

0 comments by Sam Sheppard on 7/27/2014

Returning home at around midnight last night, I switched on the earlier BoxNation card and gamely attempted to stave off sleep. It didn’t work. No sooner had I watched Chris Eubank, Jr. destroy another journeyman when I promptly dozed off. I awoke some two hours later, in the midst of Mike Perez’s entrance for his […]

Easiest Hardest: Golovkin Vs. Geale Preview And Prediction

0 comments by Tim Starks on 7/24/2014

Middleweight’s version of Perun, Gennady Golovkin, faces his best opponent this Saturday on HBO in Daniel Geale, an opponent who has beaten better foes than he has. Such is the mythological might of the man they call GGG that Geale is viewed as a sizable underdog. The longer we go, the more the mythology matches […]

Round And Round, Featuring What’s Next For Manny Pacquiao, Canelo Alvarez And Others

0 comments by Tim Starks on 7/17/2014

Old timey people were very much into animals boxing. There’s some appeal there, to be sure. (via) We’re heading toward the summer doldrums, which means not a lot of fights are being signed. A decent number are being discussed, though, and that’s good enough for Round And Round. Among the men discussed in this edition […]

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 […]

Danny Garcia And Lamont Peterson Won’t Fight Each Other On The Worst Card Of The Year

0 comments by Alex McClintock on 6/24/2014

“Showtime continues to deliver the deepest fight cards in boxing.” Showtime’s Stephen Espinoza is a funny man on Twitter, but he really outdid himself in Tuesday’s press release announcing the worst premium cable card in recent memory. The Aug. 9 Showtime/Golden Boy Barclay’s Center tripleheader will feature top junior welterweights Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson, […]

World Cup = Boxing

The World Cup is upon us and 32 nations are preparing to go toe-to-toe to become the undisputed pound-for-pound king of the football world. Yes, FIFA, the governing body, is corrupt; yes, Brazil, the host nation has swallowed most of the money and is ill-prepared; and yes, the world will forget all this to gorge […]

The Outsider: Amir Khan’s Battle For Acceptance

0 comments by Andrew Harrison on 5/1/2014

Like all teen stars, Amir Khan seems to have been around forever. It is nigh on a decade since an unknown 17-year-old lightweight boxer from Lancashire captured the hearts of a nation. His gallantry at the Olympic Games in Athens returned an unexpected silver medal. And while the Val Barker trophy for the tournament’s most […]
