Quick Jabs: Cotto Vs. Martinez Pay-Per-View Numbers; The Golden Boy Legal Action; More

0 comments by on 6/29/2014

If you’re looking for a classy place to sign a contract with Al Haymon, one resplendent with gravitas, why not McDonalds? Lightweight Miguel Vazquez making the Haymon move means we can almost surely forget about starting a new championship lineage by fighting Terence Crawford, since Crawford is represented by Top Rank, which despises Haymon. It’s […]

Elite Boxing’s Best Nicknames: An Analysis

0 comments by on 5/26/2014

At some point in the history of boxing, someone decided that it was compulsory for every fighter to have a nickname. And since that point, the sport has been plagued by awful nicknames. Rather than being something you have to earn, nicknames are something your manager thinks of before your first fight. For every Juan […]

Quick Jabs: Andre Ward, Adonis Stevenson In Court; Floyd Mayweather In Jail; More

0 comments by on 5/3/2014

There is your lunch of champions, namely that of Saturday night’s champ, Floyd Mayweather, while in jail. The most entertaining read of the week was Sports on Earth’s account of his time in prison, with gems like how the stay might “infect” his career, about him getting mysterious rib injuries while reaching over to grab […]

At their worst, heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko’s fights can seem less like contest and more like a macabre, repetitive mechanical process. Jab, jab, right hand, step off, stiff-arm, jab, jab, right hand, rinse and repeat. It still might not have been sporting, but freed from the need to worry about being punched back by the hopelessly […]

The Week’s Boxing Schedule, Featuring Wladimir Klitschko, Josesito Lopez And Lucas Matthysse

0 comments by on 4/23/2014

The Queensberry Rules does not endorse street violence… unless of course it involves lightsabers, in which case, go for it. In this edition of the schedule, there’s lots to cover. A predictable heavyweight title fight, predictable fights on Showtime and some more rewarding fare. Let’s just get straight into the schedule-ising. Keith Thurman vs. Julio […]

TQBR Radio 4/22: Bernard Hopkins Vs. Beibut Shumenov Recap, Much More

0 comments by on 4/22/2014

If Bernard Hopkins were to go parasailing, we imagine him floating about to the tune of Kansas’ “Dust in the Wind.” Because he’s old. …because that’s what everyone wants to talk about when he fights. But thankfully us boxing fans seem to be barreling into a period of unrest for the sport, in a good […]
