By Sean McDaniel: Last Saturday night EBU middleweight champion Grzegorz Proksa (26-1, 19 KO’s) was shockingly beat by a big Welsh fighter named Kerry Hope (17-3, 1 KO’s) by a 12 round majority decision at the Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield, Yorkshire, United Kingdom. The loss has a lot of Proksa fans crying foul, feeling that the 27-year-old Proksa did more than enough to handily win the fight or at worse get a draw. I don’t see it that way. Proksa deserved to lose that fight and my guess is he’d lose again to Hope in a rematch if one takes place.

The final judges’ scores were 115-112 and 114-113 for Hope, and 114-114 even.

Glazkov, 27, hurt the rounded Orlov with a right to the body in the 5th round that caused Orlov to wince and briefly turn his back in pain. Although he continued to fight for the remaining seconds of the round, you could see that he had possibly suffered a rib injury from the right hand shot.

By Gerardo Granados: It’s been a while now since the last time I saw boxing related comments full of joy on a boxing site. Yeah it is true, on this site boxing experts like McJack deserve all the respect; he writes balanced articles and for sure has vast boxing history knowledge. Manuel Perez was a site icon, he was biased but it was entertaining to read his articles.

By Jim Dower: 34-year-old super middleweight contender Adonis Stevenson (17-1, 14 KO’s) will be fighting contender Noe Gonzalez Alcoba (28-1, 20 KO’s) in a 12 round bout at the Bell Centre, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. This isn’t the fight that Stevenson wanted, as he was hoping to take on former two time title challenger Librado Andrade. However, Andrade reportedly past on the idea of fighting Stevenson for whatever reason.

By Gerardo Granados: If the reader care to take more than five minutes to read the ranking list of the numerous boxing organizations he might end up confused or more likely disagree on the rankings. You can find unknown names, old lions and others names that make you wonder how did them managed to climb so high on the ranking lists. Sure, you will get to see a great fighter ranked low away from the top five or seven on his weight class.

By Dominic Sauboorah: It’s quite disappointing to see how some fighters claim to be the best without actually fighting the best. The idea of logic just clearly doesn’t exist to these sorts of people. There are boxers for sure who are extremely talented and definitely could make it far on the world stage of boxing, but when they haven’t been there and yet claim to say that they could beat the best, well why don’t they?
