I called it wrong last weekend, thinking that George Groves would evade the right hand that Carl Froch detonated on his chin, but there was really only ever going to be two trains of thought with that fight. The first being that Groves would box smart and pot-shot his way to victory and the second…
It is hard to analyse a fight of this magnitude; to try and find an angle or argument that hasn’t already been explored. I am not complaining, this is a fantastic occasion for British boxing and boxing in general. There have only been a few times in history where the general British public have had…
Let’s just get this straight, WBA welterweight titlist Marcos Maidana is a rather one dimensional pressure fighter. Yes, what he does, he does very well, but everyone is well aware of his game plan going into tonight’s unification title fight with WBC welter champion Floyd Mayweather Jr at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Maidana…
When Pacquiao and Bradley step through the ropes again tonight for the thirteenth round and a follow up to their controversial first fight, some things have changed in the months that have passed. One thing has not; Bradley goes in as the underdog, even though he came out of the last fight as the victor….
Since Rendall Munroe’s very brief retirement after losing to Scott Quigg for the WBA Interim super bantam title, the comeback trail has been as expected. He’s recorded two points decisions and a TKO over opponents who were there to lose. I’m not knocking the way such comebacks are done in the sport; a fighter needs…
WBA welter champion Adrien Broner is clearly a very talented fighter; we all know what he is about and what he does, and he does it very well. The question here is whether he can do what he has always done against a big punching welterweight. Had Paulie Malignaggi or Gavin Rees possessed some venom…
Credit to George Groves for managing to get himself into mandatory position for the IBF super middle title that Carl Froch has or we would not be seeing this fight between the two boxers, which takes place this Saturday night in Manchester, England. Froch would have done exactly what Joe Calzaghe did to him years…
So, Curtis Stevens is the next victim for Gennady Golovkin then…sorry, I meant opponent. The pair clash tonight at New York’s famed Madison Square Garden Theater. In a conversation about this upcoming fight on Sky Sports, Darren Barker, the IBF middleweight champion, recently said ‘Let’s not get carried away here, as good as Golovkin is,…
Is ‘Special K’ as special as we were once to believe? Welterweight Kell Brook got off to such a great start, and looked like such a prospect. After all , the young lad came from the same gym in Sheffield that made household names of Prince Naseem Hamed, Ryan Rhodes, Johnny Nelson, Clinton Woods, Junior…
Matchroom Boxing are putting on a good show on Saturday night at London’s O2 Arena, in what is effectively a rescued card from the Haye vs.Fury debacle. Which although I was gutted about not seeing, it is boxing, cuts in sparring happens, I think it adds a little bit of extra flavour for when Haye…
Is “The One†referring to Saul Alvarez being “The One†to take Floyd Mayweather’s crown? Or is it “The One†to watch? “The One†not to miss? I am sure Mayweather is seeing it as “The One†to surpass any amount of money he has ever earned in one night. Saul Alvarez, or “Canelo†as…
Tonight, we get to see another test for WBO Lightweight Champion Ricky Burns. Ricky is a good fighter and a very proud, professional world champion, and it isn’t a test really, it’s a defence of his world championship belt, but it feels like another test. Whether that is because I feel like there is more…
