By Scott Gilfoid: Arthur Abraham was beaten for the third and final time in the Super Six tournament in a one-sided 12 round decision loss to WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward last Saturday night in Carson, California. It was one of those beatings where the fight should have arguably stopped around the 8th round [...]

By Joss Gooseman: The Pacific Typhoon Like a storm from the orient which wrecks havoc on everything that stand in its way, Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao just blasts away at every opponent they put in front of him. He sends his opponents into retirement and to those who have not done so, left them with self-examination [...]

By Richard Myers: Victor Ortiz (29-2-2, 22KOs) was once hailed as the new ‘Golden Boy’ and one of brightest prospects on the planet. With a story of rags to riches and youth he was a promoters dream. Along comes the Argentine slugger Marcos Maidana (30-2, 27 KO’s) and his world came crashing down. A great [...]

By Sean McDaniel: Unbeaten British super middleweight champion James DeGale (10-0, 8 KO’s) and challenger George Groves (12-0, 10 KO’s) will meet in London next Saturday night in a grudge match at the O2 Arena (Millenium Dome), Greenwich, London, England.

By Scott Gilfoid: On June 4th, the next victim for WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (24-0, 13 KO’s) will finally be known when WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (27-1, 20 KO’s) faces 42-year-old Glen Johnson (51-14-2, 35 KO’s) in their Super Six tournament semifinals bout at the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New [...]

By Richard Hall: It has been reported that Top Rank could match up unbeaten Julio Cesar Chavez (42-0-1 30 KOs) with Puerto Rico’s Miguel Angel Cotto (36-2, 29KOs).

By Eric Thomas: 42-year-old Roy Jones Jr. (54-7, 40 KO’s) is taking an incredibly dangerous fight for him against southpaw cruiserweight contender Denis Lebedev (21-1, 16 KO’s) this Saturday night on May 21st at the Sport Complex Krylatskoe, in Moscow, Russia. When you see Jones taking fights like this you got to feel sorry for [...]

By Dan Ambrose: Former WBO featherweight champion Juan Manuel Lopez (30-1, 27 KO’s) will be trying his luck again in a fight with Mexican Orlando Salido (35-11-2, 23 KO’s) in a fight that will be taking place in the summer in August, slated for Puerto Rico, even though Salido is now the champion and not [...]

By Dan Ambrose: Dan Rafael is reporting that former IBF welterweight champion Paul Williams (39-2, 27 KO’s) will be facing junior middleweight contender Nobuhiro Ishida (23-6-2, 8 KO’s) on July 9th on HBO.

By Scott Gilfoid: We just saw a perfect example last Saturday night of what happens when you take a wild fighter that throws desperate haymakers all night long and put them in with a skilled fighter like WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (24-0, 13 KO’s). What we saw was Ward easily getting out of [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (25-1, 23 Ko’s) has been thrown off kilter by IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko’s lack of response to Haye’s attempts to intimidate and put him off his game with his trash talking in the past couple of weeks. Haye usually is able to unnerve his opponents by [...]

By Eric Thomas: Antonio Margarito’s loss to Manny Pacquiao last November might prove a costly one for the 33-year-old Margarito (38-7, 27 KO’s), as not only did Margarito suffer a broken right orbital bone from that fight, which was bad enough to require surgery, but Margarito also suffered a detached retina in his right eye. [...]

By Jason Kim: WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (24-0, 13 KO’s) did a number on German based challenger Arthur Abraham (32-3, 26 KO’s) on Saturday night in a fairly one-sided 12 round decision win at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California. Abraham, 31, looked like he had training for a three round fight [...]

By Dan Ambrose: Heavyweight Chris Arreola (31-2, 27 KO’s) scored a quick 3rd round knockout last Saturday night in stopping a game but clearly over-matched Nagy Aguilera (16-6, 11 KO’s) on the undercard of the Super Six match-up between Andre Ward and Arthur Abraham at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California. Arreola, 234 lbs, [...]

By Rafa Garcia: Yuriorkis Gamboa vs. Juan Manuel Lopez was one of the most anticipated match-ups in the last ten years, but yet again Bob Arum of Top Rank Promotions has poured water over the fire by waiting too long and failing to make the fight. There was no reason why Gamboa-JuanMa couldn’t have gone [...]

By William Mackay: IBF light welterweight champion Zab Judah doesn’t want to waste his time fighting WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan next. Instead, Judah is gunning for big game in World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, whom he’s hoping will give him a shot next if the fight with Juan Manuel Marquez [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: Photo credit: Tom Casino/Showtime – Former IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham (32-3, 26 KO’s) has stubbornly decided to stay at super middleweight, even though he’s clearly mediocre at this weight and doesn’t belong. Earlier tonight, Abraham suffered his third defeat in his last four fights when he was badly spanked by the [...]

By Dan Ambrose: Freddie Roach feels that World Boxing Council (WBC) middleweight champion Sebastian Zbik (30-0, 10 KO’s) will be a very tough fight for his unbeaten fighter Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (42-0-1, 30 KO’s), who faces the 29-year-old Zbik on June 4th at the Staples Center, in Los Angeles, California.
