By Dave Lahr: Manny Pacquiao has been in some minor battles during his career, but nothing like what he’s going in store for him tonight against Joshua Clottey. It’s been ages since Pacquiao’s has been in with a fighter that could stand up to him. Juan Manuel Marquez comes to mind as the last fighter [...]

By Esteban Garduno: Freddie Roach seems to be conflicted about wanting Manny Pacquiao to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. On one hand, Roach can’t stop talking about how much he wants Pacquiao to fight Mayweather next, and yet in the next breath, Roach is saying that Mayweather doesn’t make the rules in boxing. Roach, of course, [...]

By Esteban Garduno: Tonight’s fight at the Dallas Cowboy Stadium is mostly filled with mismatches of the worst kind. On paper, the bout between Joshua Clottey and Manny Pacquiao figures to be an easy win for Pacquiao over a limited Clottey, but I see Clottey pulling off a huge upset over Pacquiao tonight to spoil [...]

Hatton, 31, had been planning on staging a comeback against Juan Manuel Marquez in the summer. However, Sky Sports reports that Hatton’s training [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: When you’re dealing with a fighter who has almost no hand speed or ability to move around the ring the last thing you want to do is make it easy on them by just standing in front of them to let them punch. This is why Andre Dirrell (18-1, 13 KO’s), an [...]

By Chris Williams: The more and more I think about the Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey fight the more I believe this fight should be on regular HBO and not on pay-per-view. The reason is simple. Clottey is about as basic a fighter that you’ll ever see. He throws few punches, covers up all the [...]

By Chris Williams: In case no one has noticed, Manny Pacquiao will have faced two Top Rank fighters in his last two fights when he takes on Joshua Clottey on Saturday night. And while Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach has been flapping his gums 24/7 about wanting Pacquiao to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr., a non-Top Rank [...]

MASHANTUCKET, Conn. (March 12, 2010) – Fan favorite Tony “TNT” Grano gained revenge for his only loss as a pro, winning a unanimous 10-round decision last night against Mark “Oak Tree” Brown in the main event on the “Brace For Impact” card, promoted by Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment and Sports, Inc., (CES), in a sold-out [...]

By Dan Ambrose: Although IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (53-3, 47 KO’s) is known for being a boring safety first type fighter, he does wind up getting a knock out win more often than not due to his powerful left hooks, right hands and jabs. Eddie Chambers (35-1, 18 KO’s), the latest challenger to Wladimir’s [...]

By Jim Dower: Former World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Samuel Peter (34-3, 27 KO’s) defeated contender Nagy Aguilera (15-3, 10 KO’s) in a 2nd round TKO tonight in a IBF heavyweight eliminator match at the Gaylord Hotel, in Grapevine, Texas.

By Chris Williams: Manny Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach is very interested in having Pacquiao fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. next, as long as Mayweather wins his next fight against Shane Mosley on May 1st. However, Roach’s attitude remains negative about the Olympic style random blood testing that Mayweather has been insisting on for Pacquiao to take [...]

By Jim Dower: As expected, Joshua Clottey (35-3, 20 KO’s) came in right at the welterweight limit of 147. It’s good that Clottey didn’t have to sweat off an excess pounds, because that would likely leave him feeling weakened for tomorrow. Now he can rehydrate and possibly come into tomorrow’s fight in the neighborhood of [...]

By Sean McDaniel: British super middleweight champion Paul Smith (29-1, 15 KO’s) had to fight hard to win an unimpressive 12 round unanimous decision on Friday night against Tony Dodson (24-6-1, 12 KO’s) at the Echo Arena, in Liverpool, England. The final judges’ scores were 117-112, 116-111 and 115-112, Smith, 27, was cut badly over [...]

By Christopher Lowe: The self proclaimed most avoided man in boxing Paul Williams has a May 8th date on HBO, but no opponent has been named yet. I was looking through the possible match ups and wanted to get the opinion of the boxingnews24 readers. What makes things even more interesting is Williams has the [...]
