By Anthony Starkson: Fellow boxing fans, writers, and enthusiasts, we have just witnessed greatness on the night of July 23rd. This was the fight that many predicted would be Khan’s downfall, with one (unnamed) writer claiming that Judah would “brutally” knock Khan out in the 8th round. What he was on, we can only guess.

By John F. McKenna (McJack): Undefeated Tyson Fury (15-0, 10 KO’s) won a lopsided unanimous decision tonight over Dereck Chisora (14-1, 9 KO’s) to win the British and Commonwealth Heavyweight Titles. The fight had been dubbed “The Big Brawl” and was an entertaining fight.

By Dan W: Tonight, Amir Khan battered Zab Judah for 5 rounds eventually knocking him out with a body punch which could have been seen as a low blow. But regardless of this Judah was never competitive and the speed and power of Khan was evident when looking at Judah’s face at the end of [...]

By Sean McDaniel: Amir Khan and Zab Judah will both be roughly around the same size in tonight’s light welterweight unification fight at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

By Dan Ambrose: Not satisfied to facing No.3 ranked WBC middleweight contender, World Boxing Council Diamond middleweight champion Sergio Martinez (47-2-2, 26 KO’s) would like to face boxing’s biggest star Floyd Mayweather Jr next year if possible.

By William Mackay: WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan needs to win tonight against IBF light welterweight champion Zab Judah to keep alive Khan’s hopes of fighting unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr in 2012. But more than that, Khan has to not only win but also impress.

By Dan Ambrose: It’s sad when you get a horrible mismatch like Tomasz Adamek (44-1, 28 KO’s) vs. WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (42-2, 39 KO’s) where one fighter, Adamek, basically no chance at all to win the fight and merely coming into the bout to get destroyed or totally dominated in defeat. That’s how [...]

By Sean McDaniel: Undefeated British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Dereck Chisora (14-0, 9 KO’s) sees his fight with Tyson Fury (14-0, 10 KO’s) tonight coming down to is better boxing skills helping him get past the big 6’9″ Fury in their battle at the Wembley Arena, Wembley, London, England.

By Scott Gilfoid: Well, I’m going to go out on the limb with my prediction on the tonight’s big Las Vegas fight and choose IBF light welterweight champion Zab Judah (41-6, 28 KO’s) over WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (25-1, 17 KO’s) by a brutal 8th round knockout that leaves Khan flat on his [...]

World Boxing Council (WBC) junior middleweight champion Saul Alvarez (37-0-1, 27 KO’s) will be making his second defense of his title against the No.6 ranked WBC contender Alfonso Gomez (23-4-2, 12 KO’s) in what should be a huge mismatch on September 17th at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. [...]

By Peter Wells: Tonight at Wembley Arena one of the most hyped British fights of the year will take place and expectations don’t get much higher. In the UK Channel 5 will air the fight meaning it is free for all UK residents to watch. The amount of people tuning in for fights on terrestrial [...]

By Jordan Stoddart: Still fresh from the disappointment of David Haye’s lackluster display in Hamburg, and last weeks poor, but stacked, card in Liverpool featuring the most bizarre ending to a world title fight you will ever see, British heavyweight prospects Dereck Chisora and Tyson Fury bid to build on what can be viewed as [...]
