I remember when I was a relatively small child, back when Tyson ruled the roost, and a new Rocky movie was never far away. Even back then, as I watched Rocky and Ivan Drago pummel each other, I was fully aware that what I witnessed on screen was a virtual caricature of the real thing….
Veteran campaigner Jesse James Leija has become something of a party crasher of late. In his undisputed light welterweight title challenge to Kostya Tszyu, he almost ruined Tszyu’s homecoming to Australia with a neat early rounds display of educated boxing and moving. Victory against Tszyu was not to be, making the coup de grace of…

It was a draw on my card, but it could and should have been a much more satisfying result. The fifth round was Harrison’s best of the fight and, rather ironically,…
Teddy “Two Gun” Reid won himself the NABF light middleweight title on Friday night in Spokane, Washington, USA. Reid toppled the challenge of Eddie Sanchez in seven rounds, decking the previously unknown Sanchez four times en route to the stoppage win. Reid’s last high-profile outing was a welterweight contest in which he suffered a one-sided…
It was another Jekyll and Hyde performance from WBO featherweight champion Scott Harrison on Friday night in Scotland as he struggled to draw with challenger Victor Polo.
