Fury vs Chisora & Saunders vs Eubank Jr. Bad Blood Preview & Predictions

by

fury4by Ciaran McKInney: This coming Saturday, after what seems like an endless stream of press conferences, retirement threats and pre-fight antics, the boxing world will watch ‘Bad Blood’. The card will be headlined by the rematch of Tyson Fury vs Dereck Chisora. This domestic level bout will see the british and European straps up for grabs, however, the real prize of this bout, is the mandatory position for a fight with Wladimir Klitschko some time in 2015. This fight could potentially be a fight of the year candidate in the heavyweight division. It has all the ingredients, two hungry combatants, big punchers and a grudge that has played out over the course of the past 4 years.

The Summary: Kell Brook and Shawn Porter

by

porter#1By Ciaran McKInney: It has been quite an interesting week in the world of boxing. On Saturday night, Kell Brook (33-0) took the IBF Welterweight strap with a majority decision over the heavily favored and much hyped Shawn Porter.

This was a mandatory defence for the Ohio native, however not too many people would have given ‘Special K’ more than a punchers chance. The phrase that had been bandied about in reference to Porter, was that he was a ‘smaller Mike Tyson’, this being due to his unorthodox style, small stature and brute force.

Lennox Lewis and Promoters in talks for £100 Million Klitschko Comeback Fight!

by

lewis57By Ciaran McKinney: Former Undisputed Heavyweight Champion, Lennox Lewis has stated that he is in preliminary training whilst promoters consider his offer of a £100 million purse for a comeback fight against one of the Klitschko brothers. Lewis has stated that he would prefer to face the younger Wladimir. However, the promoters would like to see a rematch of the Las Vegas bout against Vitali that ended on cuts in favor of Lewis.

He says that promoters are considering his offer and will be back to him after a period of consideration and if this fight does come to fruition, then it would mirror the situation of George Foreman, who came out of retirement to win the Heavyweight Championship belt at the grand old age of 48, the same as Lewis now. As provisional training is already underway in Lewis’ camp, it is said that he could be ready to fight in as little as 6 months.

Stevenson Destroys Cloud, Easy Tune Up For Pascal

by

stevenson44By Ciaran McKinney: Tonight from the Bell Center in Quebec, boxing fans were witness to two complete mismatches and some of the most one-sided boxing you could not wish to see. First up, we got a look at Jean Pascal, who was placed in a ‘get the rounds in’ bout against a poor but strong willed fighter by the name of George Blades, the fight was most memorable for the haircut of Pascal.

The fight was simply there to give the home fighter a morale boost and get some minutes under his belt. This bout ended by way of TKO with Blades falling to the 3 knockdown rule. This fight should have been stopped as soon as the the journeyman touched the ground for the second time, with him still reeling and visibly out on his feet after a brutal upper-cut from the massively pumped up Pascal. With little under 5 rounds done and dusted, Pascal will soon begin his camp for his dust up with Lucian Bute.
