    Paul Malignaggi

    Impressive stuff from Paulie! He outboxed, outsmarted, and thoroughly outclassed Judah. This fight was extremely one-sided and Zab looked amateurish and slow compared to Paulie. I remember a time a few years back (mid 2000's) when American fans considered Judah to be one of their best...

    12/07, Darren Barker VS Felix Sturm

    Excellent TKO win from Felix, has to be the sharpest I've seen Felix in years, probably since his TKO win over Ronald Hearns, or even back to his decision win over Sebastien Sylvester. Felix was finding the range with his left hook early on, nailed Barker with one only about 10 seconds into the...

    Andrzej Fonfara

    That was a highly impressive performance from Fonfara, and he's rapidly becoming one of the "big name" contenders at light heavyweight. Seems like he's drawing a bit of a crowd to his fights in Chicago and that's great. He totally outboxed and outpunched the Negro in round 1, then in round 2...

    Kubrat Pulev

    Great comment you make werewolf and I fully agree! Kubrat Pulev is the most deserving heavyweight contender at the moment. Tyson Fury is also quite deserving of a titleshot, though admittedly less so than Pulev. As I understand it, (and someone please feel free to correct me if my information...

    World Cup Draw

    I am Bosnian, so I am happy to see BiH in this World Cup, our first ever and I will be fully supporting the BiH team. Although I don't post in the soccer section, I am a football fan. Boxing is my #1 sport, but football is #2. I'm also supporting Spain, Iran, Argentina, Germany, and...

    12/07, Darren Barker VS Felix Sturm

    Here's some pics and video of the press conference and weigh-in which occurred a few hours ago; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiCJ4feyvk0 Darren Barker looks very intense and looks like he's trying to physically intimidate or use some kind of scare tactics on Felix, lol. It's almost like...

    12/07, Darren Barker VS Felix Sturm

    I'm really looking forward to the Middleweight IBF title-fight taking place tomorrow from Stuttgart, Germany, featuring Champion Darren Barker against challenger Felix Sturm. Darren Barker, 26-1 (16 KO) won the IBF title in his last fight, decisioning Daniel Geale on American TV (HBO). Barker...

    Wladimir Klitschko to defend his WBA, IBF, WBO, & IBO titles against Alex Leapai

    After pulling off an upset win over Denis Boytsov, the WBO has named Samoan/Australian Alex Leapai, 30-4-3 (24 KO) the mandatory challenger for champion Wladimir Klitschko, 61-3 (51 KO) and it seems very likely that Wladimir's next fight will be against Leapai, probably in February or March of...

    George Groves

    Heartbreaking loss for Groves, but you know he looked amazing for 8 rounds and was giving Froch a boxing lesson. Groves is very young for a boxer and will bounce back! I'm a supporter of both Froch and Groves, but here's a pic that gave me a good chuckle (particularly funny if you paid...

    Great comments you make and I fully agree. I also thank Carcharias for his valuable input to this site. Carcharias deserves a big thanks from us all for his contributions at this site, particularly in the boxing section. His posts are always concise, informative, and as objective as possible.

    Sergey Kovalev

    Kovalev's punching power is unreal, and his KO of Sillakh was frightening. The first right hand put Sillakh down hard and the second left and right hand put him unconscious and out of the ring. That was a frightening knockout. I actually felt sorry for Sillakh. I started watching boxing in...

    Conversations with "mainstream" white boxing fans

    Had a conversation recently with a 50-something white male boxing fan, that I just couldn't help but share here at this site (keep in mind I am a 25 year old white male, so he is more than twice as old as me). When I watch boxing, if possible, I like to go out to the bar and watch the fight...

    Freddie Roach get's assaulted by latinos.

    +1! It's gonna be awesome if Pacquiao wins, cause Freddy is the type of guy who will rub it in after the fight, lol.

    Freddie Roach get's assaulted by latinos.

    My thoughts on the video: 1) People need to understand before a fight, emotions are running high in both camps. There can be a lot of tension and the smallest thing will start a fight. It's not just the fighters who get emotional, but sometimes the teams as well. I remember in the recent...

    Vyacheslav Glazkov

    I thought Vyacheslav Glazkov looked impressive in his decision win tonight, beating tough journeyman Garrett Wilson by UD. Glazkov displayed a tremendous jab, accurate power punching, and strong defensive ability. A lot of the power punches Glazkov landed on Wilson would have KO'd many guys...

    2014 World Cup Qualification Tournaments

    Great win from Ukraine ;) I have to admit a guilty pleasure of mine is rooting against the African National Team (Oh sorry, I meant to say French National Team), lol. The French do have some decent players I can respect (Ribery, Giroud, Nasri, Benzema, Valbuena, Lloris, etc), but the French...

    Magomed Abdusalamov.

    This is truly horrible and I can't begin to express how sad I feel for Mago and his family. Magomed is such a hard-working guy and was obviously trying his best to provide for his family. This is depressing. Magomed's purse for the fight was $40,000 (in case you're wondering Mike Perez's was...

    Magomed Abdusalamov.

    Here's a picture of Magomed with his wife and 3 daughters. The latest news on Magomed, as stated above, is that after surgery to remove the blood clot in his brain, he has suffered a stroke, is in a coma, and is on life support. This is all very shocking and to be honest still feels...

    Magomed Abdusalamov.

    +1, There is a great deal of wisdom in trainers stopping fights early. I agree with you 100% in your comments. There's always a next time, and stopping a fight early is better than suffering a permanent injury or even dying. Too many boxers have been injured or even killed in fights that...

    Magomed Abdusalamov.

    Heart-breaking news concerning Magomed in the aftermath of his fight. Thankfully, according to the latest reports he is in stable condition and seems to be on track to make a full recovery. I will keep Mago in my thoughts over the next few days and pray he will make a full recovery. We're...

    11/02, Golovkin VS Stevens & Abdusalamov VS Perez

    Have to admit I'm sad to see Abdusalamov lose his fight, as I'm quite a big supporter of him and I was hoping he'd pull this one off. 97-92, as two judges scored it for Perez is an absolutely absurd scorecard. I honestly wonder what fight they were watching, because Perez was clocked in many...

    "First Congolese settle in Lancaster Co. PA" - This is the heart of the beautiful Pennsylvania Dutch

    Here's something I see in Toronto everyday: Successful Brown people. Unsuccessful, criminal Black people. In Toronto we have about an equal number of Browns (by "browns" I mean people from India and Pakistan) and Blacks (Negroes from Africa or the Caribbean). Brown people come here dirt...

    "First Congolese settle in Lancaster Co. PA" - This is the heart of the beautiful Pennsylvania Dutch

    As a White Male, I live in Toronto, ON, Canada (North America's 4th largest City). Whites are a racial minority in Toronto, so I am a minority here. What's special about living in Toronto is that Toronto is known as being arguably the most ethnically diverse city in the entire world. I once...

    11/02, Golovkin VS Stevens & Abdusalamov VS Perez

    For me, it's almost a sure thing that Golovkin will KO Stevens. Some people might say Stevens has a puncher's chance, and to an extent I suppose that is true. Anything can happen in boxing. That being said, Golovkin has reportedly never been knocked down as a pro or amateur, in over 350...
