Ricky Hatton was not the only twenty-something lad to have woken up on that hazy Sunday morning nursing a collection of stitches around an eye. Granted, most others did so in a cell or a corner in a casualty ward, certain to be back out on the razz and none the wiser once the wounds…

For a fight that only happened because Roy Jones Jr. is irrelevant in the light heavyweight division, it did at least give us a legitimate light heavyweight champion. Many see Antonio Tarver’s impeccable record in rematches as a redeeming feature. I cannot help but wonder why he does not get the job done in the…

Last night in New York’s Madison Square Gardens, Puerto Rico’s beloved WBO light welterweight champion Miguel Angel Cotto came to the arena to defend that title against his challenger and former amateur nemesis Mohamad Abdulaev of Uzbekistan.

The destruction of the myth is complete. Or at least, it should be in the eyes of even those who dared to dream that there was anything resembling the greatness of old left in an aged Mike Tyson.

June is the showcase month for the light welterweight division and current IBF champion Ricky Hatton began it by setting the standard bar almost insurmountably high by overwhelming ring legend Kostya Tszyu. On June 25, we have the showdown between Arturo Gatti and Floyd Mayweather for the WBC title, as well as a chance to…
The lightweight division has one classic encounter to call upon this year, the Diego Corrales-Jose Luis Castillo fight.

This fight pits Raiymkulov’s youth and brute strength…
Those of you that log on every week to see the SaddoBoxing debate articles know that I am not displaying stellar form of late.
