Boxing Debates
This weekend, Miguel Cotto faces amateur nemesis Mohamad Abdulaev in a rematch of their Olympic bout in Sydney 2000. Here is why I think that the Uzbekistani can repeat that result. Since very early in his pro career Cotto has been touted as the next big thing by his promoter, Top Rank. Bob Arum has…
We British know our boxing, we love our boxing and so it is no surprise that IBF light welterweight champion Kostya Tszyu received an enthusiastic welcome from the British fight community. After all, Tszyu’s reputation stretches far beyond that of a world champion, the man is a boxing legend and his gracing of a British…
Yes, believe it or not, there is in fact another fight taking place this weekend. Of course, you would be forgiven for being none the wiser. Tszyu-Hatton has cast an almighty shadow over what would ordinarily be boxing’s headline-grabber of the week; however, it is a credit to Harrison and Brodie that they do not…
Well fight fans, welcome to another addition of the “Big Debate.†I must say my fellow fanatics; boxing is really picking up a head of steam as we make our way into the summer months. This weekend brings some excellent match-ups with the most interesting one being Jesus Chavez vs. Carlos Hernandez. This clash brings…
Ahh fight fans! There is nothing like a heavyweight title fight to get the boxing masses out in full force. For some strange reason, call it the sadistic side of the human condition, but when the giants meet, people tend to watch with a hope that one swift powerful blow will produce an exciting, jaw…
Hey there fight fans. After knocking out our very own editor, Jimmy the Gent (I’m sure he will love me saying this), I have now been given some fresh meat. Yours truly shall now take on our very own James MacDonald. After reading some of his work, this should be a worthy challenge. James, as…
This match-up oozes with “Fight of the Year†potential. Barely two months since his emphatic victory over Julio Diaz, Castillo braces for the defining fight of his career, personifying the fierce pride and work ethic that sets both he and Corrales apart from the pack. Further to the accolades separating these two fighters from their…
Ahh….You just never know what’s going to happen with those crazy heavyweights. Well fight fans, welcome to the second installment of “The Big Debate.†This one is not exactly a fight that fans are raving about, but it is an important one since Toney is trying to become only the fourth former middleweight champion, in…
On April 23, 2005, live on ESPN from the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Antonio Margarito and Kermit Cintron will lock horns with each other for the right to be called the WBO welterweight champion of the world. This is one of those fights that creates such excitement, that debates as to who, how, and…
In my opinion, there are two types of individual that maintain this industry in their respective way: the fighters, without whom the sport cannot exist, and the fans, without whom, the sport’s lifeline would be even more threadbare than it already is. That said, at SaddoBoxing.com, we aim to give these two factions the chance…
Snakey: I think Vitali will be too much for the Brit, Vitali is really strong and has a reach advantage. Danny is not gonna get lucky by Vitali hurting his knee so I hope he doesnt hold that Tyson win too far up since Tyson is garbage nowadays and Tyson was injured. JM: Vitali has…
Compiled by Jim Cawkwell. The anticipation is intensifying as the days bring us ever closer to the Tszyu-Mitchell match; a fight that essentially clears up a good deal of unfinished business between the two fighters and gives us a new degree of clarity regarding the state of the light welterweight division. Opinions are still starkly…
