By Dan Ambrose: After watching Argentinian light welterweight knockout artist Lucas Matthysse (28-1, 26 KO’s) easily dispatch the hard-hitting DeMarcus Corley (37-16-1, 22 KO’s) in an 8th round TKO in Argentina, I have no doubts in my mind that Matthysse is more than good enough to beat WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan. Matthysse looks [...]

By Dave Lahr: Unbeaten British heavyweight Dereck Chisora (14-0, 9 KO’s) is looking very impressive in a recent video while he gets ready for his April 30th bout against IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) in Mannheim, Germany. If there was any doubt in my mind that Chisora was going to beat Wladimir [...]

By William Mackay: WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (24-1, 17 KO’s) is reportedly close to signing to fight undefeated EBU lightweight champion John Murray (30-0, 18 KO’s) on April 16th at the M.E.N. Arena, in Manchester, England. This is the perfect opponent for Khan, at least in terms of Murray being slow, small, inexperienced [...]

What happened last night to my fighter, former world champion DeMarcus “Chop Cop” Corley (36-16-1, 22 KOs), in Argentina against Lucas Matthysee (28-1, 26 KOs) was a travesty. He recently fought Marcus Maidana in Argentina and lost without any complaints, but last night was an outright injustice and another black eye for boxing.

By Francisco Hernandez: Juan Manuel Marquez has begun training for his possible fight with Eric Morales on April 9, 2011. Marquez has always had a healthy dislike for Marco Antonio Barrera and Eric Morales because both fighters in their hey-day snubbed Marquez, refusing to give him a big fight.

By John F. McKenna (McJack): Boxing fans are tired of the on again off again saga of a potential fight between David Haye and either of the Klitschko Brothers. Boxing fans, depending on their preference, tend to blame it on Haye if they are a Klitschko fan, while Haye fans blame the stalemate on the [...]

By Francisco Hernandez: Last night January 21, 2011 at Vicente Polimeni stadium, Argentina, fight fans witnessed the brutal massacre of Demarcus Corley. Some boxing fans may have been tempted to call the police to stop the beating. Demarcus Corley had traveled to Argentina before to fight Marcos Maidana and lose a close fight. Corley expected [...]

By Allen Hmiel: Sugar Shane Mosley (46-6-1) a past boxing legend and once an undefeated and best P4P fighter in the world now seems to be floundering in the darkness of the edges of boxing’s deepest abyss. Shane has been burning bridges with Golden Boy where he was once a partner and alienating himself from [...]

By Mark Hepplestall: Over the past two months boxing in Argentina has really been on the up with Marcos Maidana getting and losing his second world title shot and Lucas Matthysse hovering around the title contention area. These two guys are from the same country, same city, and different districts and matched away from each [...]

By Dave Lahr: When you look at the fact that WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (41-2, 38 KO’s) has been pretty much been fighting sub par opponents for the past decade and then add in the fact that he’s starting to get old, it tells you that he’s in trouble in his next fight against [...]

By William Mackay: WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (25-1, 23 KO’s) could be fighting on the same card and date as WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch, according to the latest boxing news. Haye, who could be facing his mandatory challenger Ruslan Chagaev (27-1-1, 17 KO’s) on May 21st, if the British Board of Controls [...]

By Dan Ambrose: We’ve learned from watching the 39-year-old Shane Mosley (46-6-1, 39 KO’s) in action in his last two fights against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Sergio Mora that Mosley is dangerous early in his fights when he still has his explosive power, but he’s pretty average when the fight goes past the 6th round. [...]

By Jim Dower: The mega fight between IBF/WBo heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) and former two division world champion Tomasz Adamek (43-1, 28 KO’s) looks set for September, according to news from ring.tv.

Chamber, ranked #4 IBF, fought Klitschko [...]

By Sean McDaniel: If you look at the news lately, you’ll see a pattern of WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan complaining of his opponents wanting too much money to fight him and pricing themselves out of a fight with Khan for April 16th. The problem that Khan is now facing is that boxers and [...]

By Dave Lahr: So Manny Pacquiao’s next fight against Shane Mosley will be now televised by CBS/Showtime instead of HBO on May 7th, and future Pacquiao fights will also be shown on CBS/Showtime. This is supposed to be a good thing, right? Well, I hope it means that Pacquiao will start facing quality fighters like [...]

By Dave Lahr: IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) is one of those types of weak-chinned heavyweight that are fine as long as he’s not getting hit. When Wladimir is throwing shots on the outside and pacing himself so that he doesn’t run out of gas, he’s very good and hard to beat. [...]

By William Mackay: WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (24-1, 17 KO’s) is in need of fighter that is known not only in the UK but also in the United States for his next fight on April 16th. Dan Rafael said on his chat session today that he thinks HBO would agree to Breidis Prescott [...]
