By Hugh Janus: Congratulations to Ricky Burns for an outstanding performance in defence of his World Title. A true Celtic warrior, he came through fire for the most decisive win of his career against an evidently more talented boxer. His World Champion credentials are beyond question.
Gonzalez showed pure class from the first bell, dominating the first half of the fight with ease. Early signs suggested the fight would end in a very lop sided decision if Burns could even make it that far. I had certainly written him off going into the 7th.
However, as Burns beautifully illustrated on Saturday night, winning and successfully defending a title strap does not always mean being the most talented boxer in the fight. There are many other qualities that make a champion.
by Bob Smith: In scanning the boxing matches coming up next month, I will venture to make predictions of three KO victories. Will I be right? Only time will tell. For the (very recent) record, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez did better than I anticipated he would, though I had him losing a narrow decision; I also thought that Guerrero would have some more success in pressuring Floyd, though I did anticipate Floyd Mayweather Jr would win by unanimous decision.
By Dan Ambrose: Golden Boy Promotions wants to match their prize WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) against 32-year-old Miguel Cotto (37-4, 30 KO’s) on September 14th on the Mexican Independence holiday for Canelo’s first pay per view bout of his career, if Floyd Mayweather Jr. doesn’t want to fight the light heavyweight-sized Canelo in September. 
By Dan Ambrose: Top Rank promoter Bob Arum says former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. will either fight at 160 or 165 lbs. for his next fight on August 3rd against either Martin Murray or Brian Vera. The choice of opponent will depend on whether Chavez Jr. can get down to 160 lbs. or not. 
By Tony Crooks: Something very strange just occurred to me; Golden Boy Promotions (GBP) are touting unbeaten heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) as the next heavyweight champion. They say his punching power is phenomenal. They say that as soon as he hits anyone with his right hand that they will be knocked out.
By Scott Gilfoid: This Saturday night, IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander (24-1, 13 KO’s) will be defending his title against replacement opponent #4 IBF Lee Purdy (20-3-1, 13 KO’s) at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Last March we saw #3 WBC 175 contender Isaac Chilemba (20-1-2, 9 KO’s) put on a defensive clinic in dominating #1 WBC Tony Bellew (19-1-1, 12 KO’s) for 12 rounds and then ending up with 12 round draw for his efforts in their fight at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, UK.
By Scott Gilfoid: The proposed June 15th fight between American heavyweight Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 Ko’s) and British heavyweight Dereck Chisora (16-4, 10 KO’s) may not happen for a number of reasons, one of which is Deontay’s legal issues stemming from his May 4th arrest in Las Vegas, Nevada for domestic battery.
