Hello David, I see that Wladimir Klitschko put out a video on You Tube claiming that now he wants to fight you. Apparently, he sees an opportunity to fight another “smaller” guy because you came from the cruiserweights. David, I’ve been in this game a long time. Before you waste a lot of your precious [...]

Edwin Valero has been found dead in his jail cell in Caracas, Venezuela early this morning, apparently committing suicide with his own clothes. Valero was arrested for killing his wife Jennifer Vierayesterday. It’s unclear why the 28-year-old Valero wasn’t on suicide watch, as this is something that is often done when a person has killed [...]

By Jim Dower: The winner of this Saturday night’s fight between top heavyweight contenders Chris Arreola (28-1, 25 KO’s) and Tomasz Adamek (40-1, 27 KO’s) could be facing International Boxing Federation/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko next, according to news from the Los Angeles Times. Arreola and Adamek will be facing off at the Citizens Business [...]

By PHILIP H. ANSELMO: The biggest question going into the Miguel Cotto-Yuri Foreman fight is not whether Cotto can win, it’s how much left is there of the former WBA/WBO welterweight champ? Is his chin permanently dented? Is there any way he can reclaim, or refine his boxing style under the tutelage of Emanuel Steward [...]

By Jason Kim: After last night’s impressive 3rd round TKO win for International Boxing Federation super middleweight champion Lucian Bute (26-0, 21 KO’s) over Edison Miranda (33-5, 29 KO’s), Bute mentioned 45-year-old Bernard Hopkins (51-5-1, 32 KO’s) as one of his potential next opponents to face. Hopkins has made it known that he’d be interested [...]

By William Mackay: Former World Boxing Council/World Boxing Organization middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (36-2, 32 KO’s) wants a rematch with Sergio Martinez (45-2-2, 24 KO’s) to try and avenge his 12 round unanimous decision defeat Pavlik suffered last Saturday night and to try and recapture his lost titles. I think is a bad idea for [...]

By Dave Lahr: It’s been 10 years since Sergio Martinez (45-2-2, 24 KO’s) last fought Antonio Margarito (37-6, 27 KO’s), In that fight, Martinez, then a young 25-years-old, was battered by the relentless Margarito and taken out with a flurry of clubbing shots in the 7th round on February 19th, 2000. Martinez never avenged that [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: World Boxing Council super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-0, 20 KO’s) thinks he’s going to take out Mikkel Kessler (42-2, 32 KO’s) this Saturday night in their Super Six tournament stage 2 fight in Herning, Denmark. Froch, 32, is facing a faster fighter than himself and one with probably a lot better [...]

By Dave Lahr: As trainer/HBO analyst Emanuel Steward pointed out last night after watching WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (36-2, 32 KO’s) lose a 12 round unanimous decision to Sergio Martinez (45-2-2, 24 KO’s), Pavlik convince himself that he lost because of the cuts he sustained over both eyes in the fight and will want [...]

By Armando Paz: The sport of boxing unfortunately mirrors society in many ways. We recently found out that Joe Calzaghe had admitted to cocaine use a problem that plagued former great champions as Aaron Pryor and Sugar Ray Leonard when they retired. There have been boxers with alcohol and gambling addictions as well. But the [...]

By Dan Ambrose: It was sad to see former middleweight contender Edison Miranda (33-5, 29 KO’s) being taken out in the 3rd round by International Boxing Federation super middleweight champion Lucian Bute (26-0, 21 KO’s) at the Bell Centre, in Montreal, Canada. Miranda, 5’10”, looked small compared to the 6’2” Bute, and although both of [...]

By Eric Thomas: According to Fight News, World Boxing Council lightweight champion Edwin Valero (27-0, 27 KO’s) has been arrested earlier on Sunday for the suspicion of murdering his 24-year-old wife Jennifer Viera de Valero. Her body was discovered in a hotel room in Valencia with multiple stab wounds. Valero was shortly thereafter arrested by [...]

By Chris Williams: Just as I expected, Sergio Martinez (45-2-2, 24 KO’s) was far too talented for the slow moving, slow punching, slow reacting WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (36-2, 32 KO’s) last night in beating Pavlik by a 12 round unanimous decision at the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey. I knew Pavlik [...]

By Sam Gregory: On the April 17th edition of World Championship Boxing on HBO from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City Kelly Pavlik 36-1 with 32 KO’s defends his WBO, WBC and Ring magazine middleweight titles against Argentinean southpaw Sergio Martinez 44-2-2 with 24 KO’s in a scheduled 12 round bout in the middleweight division.

By Eric Thomas: International Boxing Federation super middleweight champion Lucian Bute (26-0, 21 KOs) successfully defending his IBF title tonight with an impressive 3rd round stoppage win over knockout artist Edison Miranda (33-5, 29 KO’s) at the Bell Centre, in Montreal, Canada. Bute, who dominated both the 1st and 2nd rounds, planted Miranda on the [...]

By Chris Williams: It’s really sad that after three years as the WBC/WBO middleweight champion, Kelly Pavlik (36-1, 32 KO’s) will be facing his hardest challenge when he fights junior middleweight Sergio Martinez (44-2-2, 24 KO’s) at the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Pavlik hasn’t done much at all since winning the titles [...]

By Sean McDaniel: World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Amir Khan (22-1, 16 KO’s) wants to be a big star in the United States and is hoping to pave his way into accomplishing that goal with his fight against former IBF light welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi on May 15th at Madison Square Garden in New [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: In comparing International Boxing Federation super middleweight champion Lucian Bute (25-0, 20 KO’s) with the younger and faster super middleweights in the division like Andre Ward and Andre Dirrell, I don’t see how or why Bute is still ranked number #1 in The Ring pound for pound rankings. I don’t see Bute [...]

By Francisco Hernandez: The Super Six World Boxing Classic continues to create excitement. The fighters involved are third rate boxers at best, but are superb athletes; they can deliver twelve rounds of action, are fun to watch. One thing that we can learn from one of these fighters –Arthur Abraham- is how to stop a [...]

By Ted Ringer: It’s no secret that World Boxing Council super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-0, 20 KO’s) plans on taking the fight to former WBA/WBC super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler (42-2, 32 KO’s) next Saturday in their stage 2 Super Six tournament fight, in Herning, Denmark. Froch, who is riding high of his important [...]

By William Mackay: Speaking from experience, European Boxing Union (EBU) heavyweight champion Audley Harrison (27-4, 20 KO’s) doesn’t give fellow Brit WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (24-1, 22 KO’s) much of a chance at beating either of the Klitschko brothers if and when Haye decides to fight either of them. Harrison has sparred with Haye [...]

By Dave Lahr: Tonight at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, Sergio Martinez (44-2-2, 24 KO’s) will challenge for the titles of WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (36-1, 32 KO’s) in what is a big test to see if the Ohio native Pavlik is truly the best middleweight anymore. Pavlik, 28, has done next to [...]

SALISBURY, MD (April 16, 2010) – Undefeated middleweight prospect and hometown favorite Fernando Guerrero earned an impressive second round TKO victory over Chicago’s Michael Walker in the main event of ShoBox: The New Generation Friday night on SHOWTIME from the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center in Salisbury, Md.

By Dave Lahr: If this fight was to have taken place 10 years ago with Shane Mlosley (46-5, 39 KO’s) a young 28-year-old and Floyd Mayweather Jr. (40-0, 25 KO’s) the older 33-year-old opponent, I could see Mosley emerging as the winner of the fight. The problem is Shane is now 38, and hasn’t fought [...]

By Jim Dower: Heavyweight contender Tony Thompson (34-2, 22 KO’s) continued with rebuilding his career by chalking up his 3rd consecutive win with a 4th round stoppage victory over Owen Beck (29-5, 20 KOs) on Friday night at the Omni New Daisy Theater in Memphis, Tennessee. Using his jab, right hooks and straight left hands, [...]

By Jim Dower: Undefeated light middleweight prospect Shawn Porter (14-0, 11 KOs) showed some power in taking out a badly over-matched Raul Pinzon (17-5, 16 KOs) on Friday night at the Wicomico Civic Center, in Salisbury, Maryland. Porter, 22, opened up with some speedy shots and put Pinzon down with a hard right hand to [...]
