Duddy’s appearance on the Cotto-Foreman undercard, only three months after his lackluster performance on the Pacquiao-Clottey undercard, has angered many fight fans. Indeed, the Derry man was lucky to walk [...]

By Eric Thomas: IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko is making no bones about his wish to fight WBA heavyweight champion David Haye. In an article at the Daily Mail, Wladimir had this to say about Haye: I will do the same to Haye as I did to Chambers if I get him. When I get [...]

By Esteban Garduno: Unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. (40-0, 25 KO’s) had some stern words for Shane Mosley (46-5, 39 KO’s) in their sit down interview with HBO analyst Max Kellerman recently, saying “Come May 1st, he’s [Mosley] going to have to make me respect his skills.” Mosley and Mayweather will be fighting on May 1st [...]

By Jason Kim: IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (54-3, 48 KO’s) wants to fight WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (23-1, 21 KO’s) in the worst way. The problem is that Wladimir’s older brother World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko also wants to fight Haye. The two brothers are going back and forth with each [...]

By Chris Williams: It’s hard not to look at the performance that American heavyweight challenger Eddie Chambers (35-2, 18 KO’s) put in against IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (54-3, 48 KO’s) on Saturday night without seeing things that Chambers could have done to make himself more competitive against Wladimir. I’m not sure if Chambers could [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: In watching last night’s fight between IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (54-3, 38 KO’s) and Eddie Chambers (35-2, 18 KO’s), I can easily see how WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (23-1, 21 KO’s) would look as equally bad as Chambers did in losing to Wladimir. You can’t even call the Chambers-Klitschko fight [...]

By Francisco Hernandez: In the Mexican countryside “Canelo” is a name commonly given to race horses which have a dark reddish hue.

By Jim Dower: In an article at Vindy.com, WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (36-1, 32 KO’s) says he thinks that he changed the career of former WBC/WBO middleweight champion Jermain Taylor (28-4-1, 17 KO’s) after stopping him in a brutal 7th round stoppage three years ago in September 2007. Since that loss, Taylor has been [...]

By Ryan Dunn: With 27 knockouts in 27 wins and 0 defeats, Edwin Valero is nothing if not one of the most exciting young prospects in boxing today.

Fighting in front of 51,000 fans, Wladimir put an end to a one-sided fight with a big sweeping left hook to the head of the 27-year-old Chambers in the 12th [...]

By Michael Feliciano: In the wake of Edwin Valero’s knockout win over Antonio Demarco (23-2, 17 KOs) last month on February 6 which brought him to an incredible record of (28-0, 28 KOs), it is easy to assume that only blockbuster fights against caliber fighters lie ahead for him. However, the Venezuelan native may soon [...]

By Dave Lahr: IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (54-3, 48 KO’s) one of the most timid looking fights I can remember seeing for 11 boring round until finally getting his act together and scoring a 12th round knockout win over American Eddie Chambers (35-2, 18 KO’s) with only five seconds to go until the end [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: World Boxing Association heavyweight champion David Haye (23-1, 21 KO’s) wisely admits that he doesn’t think he can match the great legacy of former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis (41-2-1, 32 KOs), even if Haye beats Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko in the future. In an article at the Daily mail, Haye says “He [...]

By Dennis Broadhurst: Eddie Chambers (35-1 18kos) is 6ft 1 inch and only 209lbs in weight. In the old days you had fighters who were well under 200lbs fighting at heavyweight and becoming champions because there was no cruiserweight division but looking at Eddie Chambers, and his soft waistline, I ask myself “Why not put [...]

By Chris Williams: I see this fight as a one-sided bout with IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (53-3, 47 KO’s) dominating with his jab. American Eddie Chambers (35-1, 18 KO’s) is coming into this fight the much smaller fighter compared to the 6’6” Klitschko, and doesn’t have the power to make Wladimir respect him. Without [...]
