Posted on 03/03/2021 By: Sean Crose “A dream turned reality,” Ryan Garcia tweeted in January. “It’s an honor to share the Ring with @mannypacquiao I will always respect what you did in and out the ring. Here’s to the best Man Winning.” Needless to say, Garcia’s post set the boxing world aflame. Here was Garcia, boxing’s hottest

Posted on 03/02/2021 By: Hans Themistode Mikey Garcia figured it would make more sense if he just kept his mouth shut. For years the former four-division world champion would openly express his desire to face Manny Pacquiao and claimed that their showdown was just about ready to get over the finish line. Time and time

Posted on 03/02/2021 By: Hans Themistode For unified super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez, he’s seemingly had two careers. There is the pre-Floyd Mayweather fight version of himself and the current pound-for-pound star who stands before everyone today. Although he was always considered a terrific fighter, Alvarez took his career to a whole other level after

Posted on 03/02/2021 By: Hans Themistode Chris Algieri has heard most of the names. From WBC belt holder Jermall Charlo to former super middleweight champion David Benavidez. All of those names, and several others, are given a very good chance at beating Canelo Alvarez should they ever meet in the ring. Not mentioned amongst those

Posted on 03/01/2021 By: Hans Themistode The moment Vasiliy Lomachenko fell from his pound-for-pound throne, the criticism has come in waves. In what many believed would be another routine win, Lomachenko found Teofimo Lopez a much more complex puzzle to solve when the two battled it out with all of the lightweight marbles on the

Posted on 03/01/2021 By: Sean Crose It’s true that novelty boxing may indeed be more popular than serious boxing these days. Just don’t tell Canelo Alvarez that. The sport’s premiere attraction (at least as far as fighters in their primes go) didn’t take kindly to Jake Paul fans trying to steal his spotlight after a

Posted on 03/01/2021 By: Hans Themistode We all knew it was going to happen, we just didn’t know when. That is, until now. Former unified heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr. will return to the ring on April 24th when he takes on fringe contender Chris Arreola. No specific site has been revealed just yet, but

Posted on 03/01/2021 By: Hans Themistode Fighting on the elite level has provided fighters with more time for leisurely fun. Normally, when a fighter first jumps onto the scene, they can find themselves fighting anywhere from five to ten times per year. Once they’ve established themselves on the very good to elite level, the ring

Posted on 02/27/2021 After getting dropped in the first round, Zhilei Zhang appeared to be on his way to an easy night at the office. Another series of knockdowns in the second and third seemingly confirmed it. However, Forrest would hear none of it. The heavy underdog rallied in a huge way, including a final

Posted on 02/28/2021 By: Hans Themistode At one point, the blueprint to defeating unified super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez was clear as day. Keep your distance, incorporate a lot of movement and pot shot him all night long. In short, the Mexican star could be thoroughly outboxed. Floyd Mayweather was the first to give users

Posted on 02/27/2021 By: Sean Crose The main event of Saturday’s PBC on Fox broadcast pitted 33-2 super middleweight Anthony Dirrell against the 15-2-0 Kyrone Davis in a scheduled 12 rounder at LA’s Shrine Exhibition Center. Dirrell played it cool in the first and landed well while Davis tried to maintain distance. Dirrell continued to

Posted on 02/27/2021 By: Hans Themistode No matter who you spoke to, they all said the same thing. That is, Avni Yildirim had no chance of defeating unified super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez. Not only was he given virtually no chance at winning but the mere thought of the pair sharing the ring with one

Posted on 02/27/2021 It may have been been the second fight of his pro career but super lightweight prospect Aaron Aponte looked like a veteran in the ring. His opponent in Harry Gigliotti, simply couldn’t figure out a way to land anything effective against his man. As a result, Aponte walked away with the unanimous

Posted on 02/27/2021 By: Hans Themistode The back-to-back losses Joseph Parker picked up in 2018 are now a thing of the past as he scored a fairly easy win over fringe contender Junior Fa. The all New Zealand showdown took place at the Spark Arena, in Auckland New Zealand. With a potential loss pushing him

Posted on 02/26/2021 By: Hans Themistode Anthony Dirrell isn’t exactly looking past fringe contender Kyrone Davis, but he does view a win over him as somewhat of a formality. The former two-time super middleweight champion is set to take on Davis this Saturday night at the Shrine Exposition Center in Los Angeles California. For Davis,

Posted on 02/26/2021 By: Hans Themistode Eddie Hearn thought it was going to be pretty easy. With someone as skilled as Demetrius Andrade, the long-time promoter figured all he needed to do was provide him with a platform to showcase his skills and the big fights would come rolling in. However, after spending so many

Posted on 02/26/2021 By: Oliver McManus Frank Warren’s first card of 2021 has hit some serious stumbling blocks. A planned headline fight between Carl Frampton and Jamel Herring for the WBO super featherweight world title had to be postponed when Frampton was forced to pull out. That fight has been pushed back to April 3rd

Posted on 02/25/2021 By: Hans Themistode Forget about Canelo Alvarez winning world titles in four different weight classes. It also doesn’t matter that he’s the consensus number one fighter in the world. According to a long list of fighters that include the likes of WBO middleweight titlist Demetrius Andrade and WBC belt holder Jermall Charlo,
