Posted on 07/11/2021 By: Hans Themistode Errol Spence Jr. never took the easy route to where he is today. The unified welterweight champion fought as an Olympian in 2012 then quickly took on a murderous row of fighters at the professional ranks. His time in the ring includes all out brawls against former champions such

Posted on 07/11/2021 By: Hans Themistode Floyd Mayweather figured them all out. No matter the name, the newly inducted Hall of Famer analyzed what was in front of him on fight night, and found a way to unlock the puzzle they presented to him. Amongst the long list of fighters that Mayweather ultimately defeated during

Posted on 07/10/2021 By: Hans Themistode Heading into his showdown against unified welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr., Manny Pacquiao hoped to be introduced as not only an eight-division world champion but the current WBA belt holder. However, after long discussions behind the scenes between WBA committee members, Pacquiao will now saunter into his matchup against

Posted on 07/11/2021 By: Hans Themistode The boxing future of Conor McGregor will have to wait, at least for now. Heading into his third and, presumed, final showdown against Dustin Poirier, Conor McGregor believed everything was going to go his way. After knocking out Poirier seven years earlier, McGregor saw the series tied at one

Posted on 07/10/2021 By: Hans Themistode His time in the boxing ring was a spectacle but it didn’t go the way he was hoping. It wasn’t the first time that someone was a dominant figure inside the UFC but it just felt different. Once Conor McGregor broke onto the mixed martial arts stage, he became

Posted on 07/10/2021 By: Sean Crose “I don’t know the ins and outs, the facts, what to believe,” Eddie Hearn says of the third Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder fight supposedly being pushed back. Still, he’s quick to tell iFL TV: “I’ve told you the fight wouldn’t happen.” Suffice to say Anthony Joshua’s promoter is a bit

Posted on 07/08/2021 By: Sean Crose For a sport that perpetually exists under a barrage of criticism, boxing certainly has its appeal. While it’s true UFC star Conor McGregor earned himself a fortune when he slipped on a pair of gloves to face Floyd Mayweather in 2017, a boxing match with Manny Pacquiao, while still

Posted on 07/09/2021 By: Sean Crose It’s getting more and more common – the belief that today’s big heavyweights would defeat even the best old time heavyweights due to their size advantage. I’ve thought this over a bit, and have concluded that…I’m not so sure at all. While it’s hard to imagine a 175 pound

Posted on 07/09/2021 By: Sean Crose “It’s all about boxing immortality for Manny Pacquiao,” says the Filipino legend’s longtime trainer, Freddie Roach. The man should know. Since coming to America and working under Roach’s tutelage, Pacquiao has become one of the biggest names in sports, never mind boxing. Now, at 42 years of age, the

Posted on 07/08/2021 By: Sean Crose Boxing Insider has confirmed that Tyson Fury has been infected by Covid-19. What this means, of course, is that his scheduled July 24th fight with Deontay Wilder is now being pushed back. The question now is how far back? Fury was originally supposed to meet Anthony Joshua in Saudi

Posted on 07/08/2021 By: Sean Crose ESPN is reporting that the upcoming Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua WBC heavyweight title match, which is set to go down just a few weeks from now, may well be postponed. It’s being cited that a Covid outbreak in the Fury camp is the reason for the possible scheduling change. The

Posted on 07/07/2021 By: Hans Themistode It didn’t quite make any sense. At the age of 42 and having accomplished more than just about everyone in the squared circle, Manny Pacquiao could have easily walked away from the sport of boxing and rode off into the sunset. Throughout the course of his career, the former

Posted on 07/07/2021 By: Hans Themistode Jermell Charlo is only a few days away from attempting a lifelong dream. The unified 154-pound titlist is set to take on WBO belt holder, Brian Castano on July 17th at the Alamodome in San Antonio Texas. If Charlo were to win, he would become the first undisputed world

Posted on 07/07/2021 By: Sean Crose He could be Jack Dempsey. Or Joe Louis. Or any number of other legends of the first half of the last century. For there you see him in the brief video clip, wearing a thin white tank top and white shorts, circling a heavy bag, hammering away at it,

Posted on 07/06/2021 By: Hans Themistode David Benavidez currently has tunnel vision. The former 168-pound titlist is in the midst of an arduous training camp as he prepares to take on former super middleweight belt holder, Jose Uzcategui on August 28th. Although Benavidez knows that the hard-hitting Venezuelan is no pushover, he can’t help but

Posted on 07/06/2021 By: Hans Themistode Like most, Jorge Linares was completely taken aback with what took place when Vasiliy Lomachenko and Teofimo Lopez squared off late last year. Having shared the ring with the Ukrainian, Linares expected the pound-for-pound star to take care of business against his explosive, yet inexperienced opponent. Those thoughts, however,
