0 comments by Alex McClintock on 6/22/2016

Toot toot, it’s fight week! And not only is the flute-wielding, luscious-haired Keith Thurman taking on Shawn Porter, but Anthony Joshua is fighting Dominic Breazeale (in a match-up that figures to be significantly less competitive). That’s not even all. Read on to find out more. Keith Thurman vs Shawn Porter, Saturday, CBS, New York. Just a […]

TQBR Radio 12/16: Amir Khan Vs. Devon Alexander Recap, More

0 comments by Patrick Connor on 12/15/2014

Boxing doesn’t know exactly where “across the street” is, apparently (photo via). But oddly enough, its two major network players, HBO and Showtime, seem to excel in scheduling shows across the street from one another. It was the last fight weekend of a particularly weak 2014 in boxing, so it was fitting that well over […]

(Timothy Bradley, left, Diego Chaves, right; via @HBOBoxing) Timothy Bradley (31-1) vs. Diego Chaves (23-2) Timothy Bradley entered the ring on a mission to reestablish himself amongst the sport’s elite, and largely cruised against the tough Diego Chaves in a fight that at times threatened to turn into something special, before ultimately throwing up another […]

The Week’s Boxing Schedule Featuring Tim Bradley, Austin Trout, Devon Alexander And Amir Khan

0 comments by Alex McClintock on 12/9/2014

That is me IRL above, because I am writing the boxing schedule from a beach in Mexico (OK, so it’s really Shannon Briggs being a goose, but you get the idea). Also worth celebrating is the fact that it’s a huge week of boxing, the last of the year. There are some seriously big names […]

TQBR Radio 12/9: Amir Khan Vs. Devon Alexander Preview, Much More

0 comments by Patrick Connor on 12/8/2014

If the pissing contest between HBO and Showtime’s boxing departments could accurately be depicted through the magic of cartoon satire, it would look just like the old Spy vs. Spy series from Mad Magazine (via). While more boxing is usually a good thing, and while healthy competition tends to squeeze blood from the figurative stone, […]

I can’t promise you any fights with novelty value like Muhammad Ali vs. Richard Pryor (pictured), but I can offer you a big fresh helping of boxing news. Round and Round is all about fights in the works, fights being cancelled and fights that have been made. Some of the biggest names of the sport are involved, as you […]

Quick Jabs: Floyd Mayweather And Yoga; Manny Pacquiao And Taxes; Funky Showtime Ratings; More

0 comments by Tim Starks on 9/4/2014

As funnier wags have said about this photo of Peter Dinklage and Gennady Golovkin, “GGG would have decimated the Mountain.” Golovkin certainly would have confirmed the kill. In this mammoth-sized edition of Quick Jabs, we will have more substantial matters to discuss about GGG. We will also have the subject in the headlines, and more […]

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 […]

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 […]

TQBR Radio 7/1: Terence Crawford Vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa Recap With Tim Starks

0 comments by Patrick Connor on 6/30/2014

A pattern is emerging: 2014 is quickly becoming “the year where unlikely bouts become memorable struggles.” In two months, we had three fights with unlikely Fight of the Year smoke trails following them in Matthysse-Molina and Guerrero-Kamegai. And then Terence Crawford (above, right; via) toppling unbeaten Cuban almost-star Yuriorkis Gamboa had our blood flowing. As […]

Matt Korobov Defeats Jose Uzcategui By Mind-Numbing Decision

0 comments by Sam Sheppard on 6/28/2014

Despite being on the fans’ radar for a while, we still didn’t know a whole lot about middleweight Matt Korobov coming into this fight on the undercard of Yuriorkis Gambo-Terence Crawford on HBO from Omaha, Neb. He’s been a pro for six years, but didn’t step up competition in a while, which is usually a […]
