Miguel Cotto Schedules September Fight at Barclays Not MSG
Golden Boy promotions and Miguel Cotto have booked the venue for his next NYC fight and for the first time it wont be at MSG. Prior to his last loss, against Austin Trout, Cotto had been undefeated at Madison Square Garden. His 8 fights in MSG since 2005 is the most by any boxer. That makes the announcement of a fight in the Barclays even more ground breaking.
It’s not ground breaking...

The Week’s Boxing Schedule, Featuring Carl Froch, Delvin Rodriguez And Roman Gonzalez
Gotta love Giovani Segura – not only is he an action hero, but he’s pushing the already stretched frontiers of sponsorship in boxing by emblazoning the name of a registration services company on his Julio Cesar Chavez style headband. Who knows what this week will bring in terms of advertising, but it’ll have some good boxing. Carl Froch and Mikkel Kessler fight on HBO in a...
The great Andre Ward decides to sever ties with the WBC
Rather than becoming the organization’s “Emeritus Champion” and battling the winner of the June bout between Sakio Bika and Marco Periban, The Ring and WBA super middleweight titlist Andre Ward decided to sever ties with the WBC. Ward (26-0, 14 KOs) most recently exited the squared circle in September with a 10th round TKO victory over “Bad” Chad Dawson. A gold medal winner...

On May 17, Guillermo Jones scored a major upset with an 11th-round knockout of WBA Cruiserweight Champion Denis Lebedev. Jones, 41, has enjoyed a bizarre, but successful career and he is now back in the mix along with promoter Don King--despite the fact that both fighter and promoter had been written off recently.

Amir Khan is ready to get battered by Floyd Mayweather on September 14 in ‘the biggest fight ever in the UK’
Mediocre pugilist Amir Khan claims negotiations are underway to cement a bout versus the great Floyd Mayweather in the United Kingdom on September 14. In an utterly brilliant showing, the 36-year-old Mayweather (44-0, 26 KOs) unanimously outclassed an inferior Robert Guerrero on May 4 and pocketed $32 million for the mismatch. Comparatively, flattened by a left hook in the fourth...

Lucas Matthysse literally beat Lamont Peterson to the punch on knockdown
Lucas Matthysse cemented himself as one of the most dangerous fighters in boxing with his 3rd-round TKO of Lamont Peterson on Saturday night in Atlantic City.
Matthysse (34-2, 32 KOs) knocked down Peterson once in the second and two more times in the third before the referee called it off to save a woozy Peterson. The Argentine’s first knock down of Peterson (32-1-1, 16 KOs) in...
Sugar Shane Mosley Tops Pablo Cesar Cano In Mexico
Shane Mosley, who will be 42 in September, had not won a fight in over three years coming into Saturday night’s bout with Pablo Cesar Cano. That combined with the 18 year gap in age between the fighters made it hard to think that Mosley was there for anything more than a payday. In the [...]

Denis Lebedev (25-2, 19 KOs) was defeated by Guillermo Jones (39-3-2, 31 KOs) by 11th-round KO in their WBA cruiserweight title fight in Crocus City Hall in Moscow on Friday, and it was apparently a pretty ugly show. ESPN’s Dan Rafael was covering the fight and called it a fight of the year candidate. He says Lebedev suffered a cut above his right eye in the first round and that...
