By Wilmar Patino (Boxings Finest): First off I want to Congratulate Sergey Kovalev for a brilliant fight vs the ageless wonder Bernard Hopkins. As someone who has been following Sergey Kovalev since his days on NBC Sports back when he dismantled and KO’d Gabriel Campillo ( A former light heavyweight champion). I would like to give him credit for taking this fight and proving to the naysayers that he is more than just a puncher. I would also like to thank Hopkins for taking this fight and for giving us an exciting 12th round by giving his best in the closing round of a much anticipated fight.
By Wilmar Patino: Darnell Boone is not a fighter anyone talks about. With good reason because he’s viewed as nothing but a tough journeyman. So I’ll grab your attention with this. Andre Ward, Adonis Stevenson, and Sergey Kovalev. If you do not know by now Darnell Boone gave these 3 champions a stiff test and did something to each and everyone of them that hasn’t been repeated since. What may that be? Well let’s have a quick look in this short article I’ve written about Darnell Boone
By Wilmar Patino (Boxing’s Finest): So this is an article that analyzes Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao from the perspective of 2 different boxing fans. This in no way is a prediction, but more of an analysis and theory of what could happen. Not focusing on the hypothetical too much , but rather focus on the strengths and perceived weaknesses of the two. 
By Wilmar Patino (Boxing’s Finest): From upsets to comebacks we will explore some of the greatest moments in Boxing that had us in disbelief. Some of the greatest moments in any sport occur when the unexpected happens, and boxing is no different. What makes boxing so amazing and different from other sports is that it is the only sport in which a participant can lose 99% of the match and in the blink of an eye end up in the winner’s bracket. 
By Wilmar Patino: This November Chris Algieri and Manny Pacquiao square off in a PPV showdown on HBO from Macao, China. They have contrasting styles. So much to take in account when making an in depth decision on what would happen when the 5’11 Algieri faces the small 5’6 Pacquiao. One thing I can assure you is that this will not be a Margarito/De La Hoya esque fight. No, There are a lot of variables in which one should review in a scrupulous manner to make a prediction.
By Wilmar Patino: After Gennady Golovkin’s showcase of power and skill many here are quick to praise the middle weight champion, justifiably so. He is the real deal and a true prize fighter.

By Wil Patino: I usually write articles with some creativity and originality. This is the first time I’m trying to report “news” on a boxing news site. Lucas “The Machine” Matthysse has always been an exciting fighter who packs a punch and has some boxing skill. 
By Wil Patino: It seems that in today’s world of boxing losing a fight gets you more opportunities than winning it. Of coarse thats not always the case but I am sensing a shift in the way fans have accepted losers being given undeserving shots at titles and bigger money than the actual winners of the fights. At first I just thought some were in the right situation at the right time, but when I scrutinize it all its a concerning pattern worth mentioning.
