By Chris Williams: According to Boxing Fanhouse, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum is near to reaching a deal between World Boxing Association light middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 6 KO’s) and former WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) for a fight that will be taking place on June 12th, at the Madison Square Garden, New York, New York. Apparently, this is a fight that both Cotto and Foreman want. It’s hard to imagine what Cotto, 29, sees in this fight. Read the rest of this entry »

By Sean McDaniel: Tonight’s lightweight title bout between World Boxing Council lightweight champion Edwin Valero (26-0, 26 KO’s) and WBC lightweight interim champion Antonio DeMarco (23-1-1, 17 KO’s) is sure to have fireworks for as long as it lasts at the Arena Monterrey, Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. For Valero, 28, this is going to be his first exposure to many boxing fans. Before tonight, most fans only chances to get a glimpse of the knockout artist Valero was on Youtube where there are a number of Valero’s many 1st round knockout fights.

By William Mackay: Recently, I read an article by a writer that seemed to be gloating about the fact that former World Boxing Organization super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe had beaten both Roy Jones Jr. and Bernard Hopkins during his career. The writer of the article fails to mention that Hopkins was 43 at the time he fought Calzaghe while Jones was a ripe 39-years-old. Calzaghe ended up winning a controversial 12 round split decision over Hopkins in their April 2008 fight, a bout that could very well have gone the other way. Read the rest of this entry »

By Dave Lahr: Trainer and former fighter John David Jackson points out that World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao has some flaws in his game in an article at Fight Hype, saying “Pacquiao is not a good inside fighter… and he also can’t fight off the ropes. Clottey has to capitalize on that. If he can do that, he can beat him.”

Jackson has a good point. Pacquiao isn’t a really great inside fighter. Pacquiao does most of his work at medium range. He likes to get in quick, landing a few punches and then get back on the outside to safety. Read the rest of this entry »

By William Mackay: Amir Khan is being groomed by Freddie Roach as the next big thing in boxing, and possibly the next Manny Pacquiao-type fighter. Khan has the hand speed, movement and youth going for him. He also has Golden Boy Promotions backing him, which is a good thing because it means that Khan will likely be able to fight on HBO every time out. Pacquiao is getting old and probably won’t be fighting more than a year or two more if that. Read the rest of this entry »

By Chris Williams: Former World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) has been linked with WBA light welterweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-0, 6 KO’s) for a bout that could be taking place in June of this year. However, that seems like a big mistake for Cotto to take this fight, and I think it could backfire on Cotto if he ends up getting beaten again. Foreman, 29, is a lot bigger than Cotto at 5’11” compared to only 5’7”, is hard to hit because of his constant movement, and his sneaky power. Read the rest of this entry »
