By Eric Thomas: WBC/WBO bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire (26-1, 18 KO’s) still hasn’t said when/if he’ll be fighting again with Top Rank. They are waiting for Donaire to report and start planning for his next. This comes after an arbitrator ruled in favor or Top Rank in their tug of war with Golden Boy Promotions for the services of Donaire. Bob Arum was hoping to get Donaire back in action on May 28th, but that’s obviously not going to happen now.

By Rafa Garcia: This article is based on the rapid decline of boxing over the last twenty years. I am 35 years old, boxed since i was eight and had my first amateur bout at twelve years old, my career was cut short due to a broken back (car accident). Myself and so many others have a deep and meaningful love for the sport of boxing. Unfortunately fans alike have had to watch as boxing has become a (money machine) driven by greedy promoters and fighters who care only of the finances without the risk.

By Gerardo Granados: A long time ago there was a fighter who was not considered to be the greatest of all time, but he had enough talent that lead him to be enshrined in to the international boxing hall of fame.

By William Mackay: With his win over a hand-picked Paul McCloskey last time out, WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan has run out of soft opponents to fight and is looking at the unpleasant option of having to face quality guys moving forward. WBC/WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley, who punches with no more power than McCloskey, chose not to fight Khan next. This was a fight that Khan really wanted, and it’s not hard to see why.

By Sean McDaniel: It was nice to see Cuban Mike Perez (16-0, 12 KO’s) capture the Prizefighter International heavyweight title last night with a stoppage win over Tye Fields in the 1st round. The southpaw Perez jumped on a tired looking Fields in the opening round and blasted him with shots until the fight was stopped with Fields still standing.

By Matt McGrain: In December of 1907 the great and recently retired Tommy Ryan sat down with newspaper men to discuss the best fighters of that moment. Tommy, a keen observer of fighters, furnishes us with a pound for pound list for the end of a year that boxing would rather forget.

By Mark Young: I’ll admit it, it’s getting to me, hype jobs, cherry pickers and tweeters. We’re inundated with boxers who aren’t fighting each other, it’s way beyond ridiculous, there’s a clear drop in professionalism in boxing with a leaning towards wrestling style showboating.
