Naoya Inoue And The Rest Of The Year’s Boxing Schedule

We’ve only got one week boxing left in 2016, and only one fight of note this weekend. So let’s gather up one large stone, and pelt a couple birds with it, crushing them brutally beneath it with one monumental feather-and-blood-spurting boulder. Naoya Inoue vs Kohei Kono, next Friday, Tokyo. The Japanese really do love packing […]

Anthony Joshua, Joseph Parker And The Rest Of The Week’s Boxing Schedule

It’s a packed fight weekend, but one tables-ladders-chairs match already got started in advance, as heavyweight Dereck Chisora threw a whole damn table at Dillian Whyte. And that’s one of the least interesting bouts on the ledger. Terence Crawford vs John Molina, Saturday, HBO, Omaha Neb. Junior welterweight champion Terence Crawford returns to his hometown for […]

It wouldn’t be nearly as frustrating except an appetizing match-up with Roman Gonzalez continued to evade us. […]

That’s been more productive for the best fighters in the world regardless of weight. Manny Pacquiao’s departure shakes thing up a little, and Takashi Uchiyama’s loss leaves another […]

The Week’s Boxing Schedule, Such As It Is

The boxing schedule is late, which is partly a function of the fact that there’s not much on it, and partly a function of the fact that I’m on holiday (it’s been great, thanks for asking). There’s nothing on premium cable this week and few fights of note. Let’s just jump right into it, quick […]
