0 comments by Lou Catalano on 6/26/2015

He shot up the junior welterweight rankings by making fun fights and beating guys like Amir Khan, Erik Morales, and Zab Judah. But then his advisor, Al Haymon, creator of the “Premier Boxing Champions” series, started […]

It’s not entirely clear why the two Andres look so much like they’re giving a reaction shot in a low-budget comedy, but there it is. Maybe they’re surprised that Quick Jabs is back after such a long layoff. Actually that’s not possible, since Mr. Berto (right) put that picture up on

What’s The Problem: Can Adrien Broner Find Some Consistency?

0 comments by Lou Catalano on 6/16/2015

Adrien Broner has never had a problem convincing us that he has the look of a superstar. His issues usually arise when he steps into the ring. It’s then that he has a hell of a time convincing us that he belongs among the best fighters in the world. For whatever reason, Broner’s performances in […]

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.

Supposedly all things in the universe are a blend of light and dark, evil and good, Boston and The Eagles — yin and yang, if you will (via). And right now, when it comes to being appeased and getting serious value for their money, boxing fans sure are taking it up the yang. For however […]

(Kell Brook celebrates the verdict; photo by Esther Lin, Showtime) It was anybody’s guess how the judges would score Kell Brook vs. Shawn Porter after 12 rounds, based on how wildly divergent fans and writers were calling it on social media. But most people had it for Brook in a rough-and-tumble, even unattractive fight, and […]

0 comments by Tim Starks

The first fight was competitive, and not as messy; the second fight was downright ugly, but Anthony Dirrell turned a draw into a clear win Saturday night on Showtime against Sakio Bika.

0 comments by Tim Starks

Omar Figueroa had the kind of ghastly cut from a head butt where he could’ve begged out and let the bout go to the scorecards and win that way. His corner wanted that Saturday night on Showtime. Figueroa wanted the opposite. He stormed out of the corner and stopped Daniel Estrada in the very next […]
