Everyone has heard of the legendary second fight between “Sugar” Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran which ended with Duran saying “No Mas!” Well fight fans, on March 29, 2005, rising prospect Vicente “Chente” Escobedo made Heronimo “El Torito” Hernandez pull a “No Mas” after the third round in Laredo, Texas and, tonight, live from the…
Tonight, live on ESPN 2’s Tuesday Night Fights boxing series, “Smooth” Rodney Jones continued his quest for a world title shot as he defeated Teddy “Two Guns” Reid via split-decision. Let me tell you fight fans, it was not even that close. How one of the judges scored the fight for Reid is unbelievable. Still,…
Who would have “thunk it?” What an awesome fight, fans. No slow motion camera tricks. No music during fights. No nonsense! All that the fans were treated to was a great seven round war between two young guns. Sergio “The Latin Snake” Mora clearly out-thought, out-fought, out brawled, and out-classed the tough and determined Peter…
WBO heavyweight champion of the world “Relentless” Lamon Brewster lived up to his nickname tonight in Chicago, Illinois as he wiped away the challenge of Polish contender Andrew Golota in less than a minute. Brewster managed to get inside of Golota’s defense almost immediately to land his vaunted left hook, and Golota found himself on…
Ronald “Winky†Wright put on a near flawless performance to dispatch Felix “Tito†Trinidad in fine style in front of an awestruck crowd at the MGM Grand. Round after round followed the same pattern as Winky slammed the jab and left cross into Tito’s face with monotonous ease, Winky was having fun in there and…

I must apologize fight fans. I was so excited about the Corrales vs Castillo fight, that I forgot to include a piece on the co-featured main event of the televised portion of Showtime’s fight card. Juan Manuel Marquez put his IBF and WBA trinkets on the line against the tough and tricky Colombian southpaw Victor…
WHAT A FIGHT! I was going to provide a round by round account but, there is really no point. Here is the way every round went. Castillo and Corrales stood in the center of the ring, traded heavy leather, and both hurt each other throughout the fight. There are about five different rounds that could…
It took a little longer than their first meeting, but the result remained exactly the same. Welsh WBO super middleweight champion of the world Joe Calzaghe took his power to Veit’s Germany, and the result out of the judges’ hands with a dominating display in which Veit finally succumbed to a sixth round technical knockout….
What should have been an easy night for Manuel “Shotgun” Gomez, ended up being a majority draw against late replacement Jose Soto-Karrass. Gomez, looking out of shape, came into the bout extremely overconfident. After a brisk opening three rounds, Gomez looked like he was running out of gas. Soto-Karrass was very consistent with combinations and…

Foreman, who had been absent from the world scene for over a year, looked very impressive, and showed great potential, as he out-boxed the game, but outclassed Kevin Cagle. Yuri opened the contest with a very brisk pace,…
