The highly anticipated match between Floyd Mayweather and Sugar Shane Mosley is only hours away and it seems that the boxing public is split when it comes to predicting a likely winner of this intriguing match-up. So much has written about their boxing pedigrees, their styles, strengths and perceived weaknesses and yet it is hard…
Miguel Cotto defends his WBO welterweight title tonight against challenger Manny Pacquiao in a hotly anticipated clash at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV. Pacquiao, 49-3-2 (37), comes into the bout riding a four year, 10 bout win streak at super feather, lightweight and light welter with the most recent victory coming against Ricky…
© Hoganphotos / Golden Boy Promotions Last night’s fight between “Sugar” Shane Mosley and Antonio Margarito will not be easily forgotten. Mosley entered ring as the 4-1 underdog and almost no one believed he could pull off the upset. His only real chance of winning was to use his speed and boxing skills to outbox…
Although everyone knew that last weekend’s bout with Antonio Margarito would be very dangerous fight for Miguel Cotto, I was of opinion that Cotto’s boxing skills would prevail against the one-dimensional Margarito.

Come Saturday evening, we will know the answer to the question of whether or not Carlos Baldomir’s 15 minutes of fame is coming to an end or not . The match between the Argentine WBC Champion and four weight former world champion Floyd Mayweather has been highly anticipated by boxing public, and in my view,…
A lot has been written about this coming matchup between Floyd Mayweather and Zab Judah, and anticipation is certainly running high among the boxing public even though Judah’s loss against Carlos Baldomir has somewhat deflated interest for this bout. As result of that loss, by and large many boxing pundits think that Judah’s chances of…
Can “Z-Man” Defeat “Popo”? As announced, Acelino Freitas and Zahir Raheem will cross their gloves at Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut on April 29. It is certainly an interesting matchup and I am glad that it is taking place. For Zahir Raheem, this is a great opportunity to prove to the boxing public that his win…
