Spectacular Here, Spectacular There: Golovkin Vs. Rubio, Donaire Vs. Walters Preview And Prediction

0 comments by Tim Starks on 10/17/2014

On Saturday, HBO offers one spectacular fighter and one spectacular match-up. In a boxing year like 2014, that’s a mix you’ll take gladly — perhaps, too, though, one you’ll take masochistically, in a desert environment where any oasis will do, and where one with pear trees is like heaven. The spectacular fighter is, of course, Gennady […]

0 comments by Tim Starks on 9/30/2014

(Roman Gonzalez, left; Akira Yaegashi, right) At last, some movement. Since our last update of the best boxers in the world, regardless of weight, some of them have, actually, you know, fought. And in some meaningful fights, too. There are two new entrants to the top 10 (hint: one of them is in the picture), […]

It’s been a while, but we’re back with a bumper edition of Round And Round, with all the business of fights being signed, fights being negotiated and fights being flirted with. Apart from the men in the headline, the fighters from the Mayweather vs. Maidana undercard are busy booking their next fights, Marcos Maidana himself is […]

http://youtu.be/PFwA4jaSNZM Everybody’s trolling these days. The only appropriate response is to put up a couple knockout videos from recent weekends before discussing it all, so as to give you happy thoughts before delving into the sad business stuff (if you can be happy about knockouts, anyway). The one above is from this past weekend, via […]

TQBR Radio 6/3: Sergio Martinez Vs. Miguel Cotto Preview

0 comments by Patrick Connor on 6/2/2014

Well, well, well. It seems Oscar de la Hoya (above, left; via) and Richard Schaefer have gone from business partners, to tanning teammates, to cash swimming-pool-diving buddy system enthusiasts, to frenemies, and are now splitsville. If we were Oscar, we’d be upset about losing a nice banking and chocolate connection, but that’s just us. This […]

Billy Goat Gruff: Donaire Vs. Vetyeka Preview And Prediction

0 comments by Tim Starks on 5/30/2014

This is how chock full of boxing this weekend is: One of the best 10 or 15 fighters alive — from one of the most boxing-mad countries on the planet — is fighting Saturday on HBO against perhaps the #1 fighter in his division, and it’s been overshadowed by Carl Froch vs. George Groves II […]

(photo via r/boxing) Like this picture of David Haye, Darren Barker and Matthew Macklin as horny adolescents standing next to (presumably) the first girl they’d ever seen, there’s so much boxing on this weekend, I don’t know where to look. The biggest fight of the week is the rematch between super middleweights Carl Froch and […]
