Posted on 05/18/2022 By: Sean Crose This past weekend, super middleweight David Benavidez tossed off the ceremonial first pitch at an Arizona Diamondbacks’ home game.

Posted on 05/17/2022 By: Sean Crose It looks like the exhibition bout between all time great Floyd Mayweather and former sparring partner Don Moore will indeed go down – just a week later than had originally been expected.

Posted on 05/14/2022 By: Hans Themistode Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez has begged, pleaded, and urged the top names at 175 pounds to step into the ring against him. Although he has yet to lure the current titleholders to ink their names on the dotted line, Ramirez may have forced their hand. The unbeaten 30-year-old from Mazatlan,

Posted on 05/14/2022 By: Sean Crose I’ve been waiting for this one for a while now. It looked like the rematch between Jermell Charlo and Brian Castano would go down earlier this year, but a Castano injury pushed the fight back until this weekend. Now, however, the second battle between the two junior middleweight world

Posted on 05/12/2022 By: Sean Crose “I will be the first man to defeat Mayweather.” Many have said it, or so it seems. No one, however, has been able to best now retired great Floyd “Money” Mayweather, be it in a professional or an exhibition bout. Still, the largely unknown Don Moore has uttered those

Posted on 05/11/2022 By: Hans Themistode Gennadiy Golovkin was always a patient hunter. But one who never wasted his time on prolonged prey. After victimizing his foes in the ring, Golovkin would normally remove his blood-soaked gloves, grab the nearest microphone and publicly call out his next target. Seldom, however, would Golovkin’s desired opponents issue

Posted on 05/10/2022 By: Sean Crose Famous boxers have certainly been leaving their mark on the international stage lately.
