Chambers of Philadelphia has a record 24-2-1 with six knockouts is looking to rebound from a disappointing eight round unanimous decision defeat to former world champion Luis Collazo on October 20th in Brooklyn, New York. “Since the loss to Collazo I have been trying to get right back in the ring and for some reason it has been difficult to get a fight”, said the twenty-seven year old native of Philadelphia. “I fought a good fight off of a layoff without much southpaw sparring and I feel fought a close fight. Luis won the fight but I feel the scores should have been closer. I know I can put on a better performance and there are some guys out there that I know I can beat. I will fight anyone between 143 and 149 pounds and since I can’t get a fight I am forced to name guys specifically.” “Andre Berto is in need of a comeback fight but we were turned down and the k...

Ranked #3 by the IBF, #3 by the WBO and #7 by the WBC, the 24-year-old southpaw Andrade is an amateur sensation with extensive international experience. He was considered the cream of the 2008 United States Olympic Team advancing to the quarterfinal round. He also won the Gold Medal in the 2007 World Championships, the first American do so since 1999. Andrade's 2012 campaign demonstrated his brutal knock out power with devastating early knockout wins over Angel Hernandez (KO in Round 2),Rudy Cisneros (KO in Round 1), , and Alexis Hloros (TKO in Round 2)..

Though the carefully maneuvered prizefighter has been a mainstay on the airwaves of the premium pay network for around six years, there is a truth about him that has taken that length of that time to emerge. His gaudy speed and seemingly heavy hands were promising to everyone at first glance, but petty annoyances built up among the fighting fan base... Little things, like his penchant for barking with every thrown punch; he thuggish sneer he liked to put on his face; and certainly at times the sycophantic fandom that HBO announcers seemed to shower on him. None of these things in and of themselves would have been too grating were it not for the fact that nearly all of his showcase spots on the HBO Boxing After Dark series came against undersized has-beens beyond their best years and weight classes. What Berto’s loss to Robert Guerrero this past Saturday underlined again, in the third great ...

It's the locus for international dance and performance art, has six times as many yoga studios as Subway franchises, and more tattoo parlors than plumbers. And now it has big-time professional boxing. Can boxing make it in Brooklyn? Can it do it half a block from the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the antithesis of boxing if ever there was? It had better. To mangle an old saw, if you can't make it here, you can't make it anywhere. The brand new Barclays Center is counting on making it, as the $1 billion venue will be the venue for both for NBA hoops (The Brooklyn Nets) and top-tier boxing, under the aegis of Golden Boy Promotions and Barclays developer/Nets co-owner Bruce Ratner. Sure, the massive venue, which looks a bit that hovering spaceship from Sector 9 crash-landed on Flatbush, will open its pod-bay doors next month to...

Up first is Cuban southpaw Erislandy Lara, who will attempt to follow up his first-round KO of Ronald Hearns as he takes on Freddy Hernandez.Barry Tompkins and Steve Farhood are the announce team for this evening. They kick things off by discussing all the talent that has accumulated in the 154-pound division.Hernandez enters the ring first, sporting a 30-2 pro record with 20 KOs. He beat Luis Collazo in his most recent appearance but was blasted out in two minutes by Andre Berto the time before that.Lara is 16-1-1 with his lone defeat coming via majority decision to Paul Williams. Farhood mentions that because his fight against Hearns was so short, he has fought only one round in the past year.Steve Gutierrez formally introduces both fighters, getting us set for a scheduled 10 rounds of junior middleweight (or super welterweight, if you prefer) action.Round 1Lara takes the center of the ring and forces Hernandez to circle aro Sat, 30 Jun 2012 21:03:30 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/erislandy_lara_vs_freddy_hernandez_round_by_round/11126372 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/erislandy_lara_vs_freddy_hernandez_round_by_round/11126372 Erislandy Lara vs. Freddy Hernandez: Round By Round http://www.yardbarker.com/boxing/articles/erislandy_lara_vs_freddy_hernandez_round_by_round/11126372 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png This Saturday, June 30, at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, Calif., Gary Shaw Productions' hard hitting Junior Middleweight contender, Freddy Hernandez (30-2, 20 KOs) and Golden Boy Promotions' Erislandy Lara (16-1-1, 11 KOs) will go toe-to-toe in a 10-round bout. Hernandez, who hails from Mexico City, is coming off an impressive win against former world champion Luis Collazo (31-5, 16 KOs), is determined to show the world that he has a lot of fight left in him.  Many thought Collazo would come out victorious, but  Hernandez proved them wrong with his spectacular performance.  Hernandez promises to go to war with Lara, and push him to limits he's never experienced. "I'm going to make this a rough fight for Lara," Hernandez said. "I was scheduled to fight Yudel Jhonson (12-1, 8 KOs) recently but had to pull out because of a minor injury.  I'm in great shape and will be 100 percent ready to go this Saturday." "...

By necessity, the boxing match that becomes Fight of the Year must stand as an event that was much talked of both before and after the fight. The fight must take place in an atmosphere of drama, produce plenty of action and suspense in the ring, and end with a clear result that has significant repercussions for the sport. With those criteria in mind, one 2011 fight stands a full notch above all comers: Victor Ortiz vs. Andre Berto. Fight of the Year: Victor Ortiz UD12 Andre Berto Credit: Neil Abramson Observant fight fans had plenty of questions going into this WBC Welterweight title contest. Berto was favored by a 3-1 margin (albeit not picked by me), but many thought he was at least semi-protected. He beat the likes of Carlos Quintana and Luis Collazo easily enough, but had yet to take on a Top 5 welterweight. For his part, Victor Ortiz was thought of as yesterday's news after his 2009 collapse to Marcos Maidana, and had ...
