There has been a lack of marquee fights, bouts called off, a growing problem with PED’s, and just a general dull vibe that has blanketed the sport. But just like a horse at the back at the pack coming around the quarter-pole, fans are still looking for signs of life--a possible spurt that can put our horse in the money. In the last 4 months of 2012, the sport has a chance to make some people forget about the last 8 humdrum months, or at least build some positive momentum to begin 2013 with a bang. There are enough fights involving some of the bigger stars in the sport, and  if these fights deliver, things could be looking up. While it won’t do much for the sport in the USA, the last third of the year begins in Germany on September 1, with middleweight titlists Felix Sturm and Daniel Geale fighting in a unification match. With the middleweight titl...

Before Khan vs. Garcia, the two men held a pre-fight conference call to discuss the bout, their training, their futures and the long, winding road they took to get this fight put together. Take a look at what each man and their teams had to say right here. Danny Garcia You know, first thing I want to say, I'm having a great training camp. I feel good. I feel strong and I'm just ready July 14 to give the fans a great fight.

In the co-main event, two of the United States’ top hopes for heavyweight world championship glory will face one another when undefeated Seth “Mayhem” Mitchell and once-beaten Johnathon Banks fight in a 12-round contest. Amir “King” Khan (26-2, 18 KOs), who at only 25 years old is already a star in the United Kingdom, selling out huge arenas and racking up impressive pay-per-view numbers.  Considered one of the sport’s future stars, Khan has sailed to the heights of the worlds of amateur and professional boxing, however, he is far from finished on his quest to becoming the best of his era.  An accompl...

With nearly 15,000 screaming fans in attendance (breaking the live gate record in Nevada), over 1.5 million PPV buys and countless souls watching on, the two gladiators, Miguel Cotto and Floyd Mayweather, engaged in what was to become 12 truly intense rounds of hostilities in Las Vegas. By the end of the night, though, Mayweather had dismissed yet another credible adversary via lopsided decision. Now that this chapter in Mayweather's book has been written, it's time to explore what lies next for the undefeated superstar. Starting on June 1, Mayweather will report to the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas for what will likely be a shorter term than his originally assigned 87-day sentence for domestic abuse. This time will allow the 35-year-old some space from his normal life and perhaps will assi Sun, 13 May 2012 07:30:00 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/future_options_for_floyd_mayweather/10791224 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/future_options_for_floyd_mayweather/10791224 Future options for Floyd Mayweather http://www.yardbarker.com/boxing/articles/future_options_for_floyd_mayweather/10791224 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png American Paul Malignaggi stopped previously undefeated Ukrainian Vyacheslav Senchenko in the ninth round Sunday to take the WBA welterweight title Sunday. The referee stepped in to halt the fight at 1:10 in the ninth after Malignaggi pounded the left side of Senchenko's face until his eye closed. The 31-year-old Malignaggi, the former IBF junior welterweight champion, improved to 31-4 with his seventh career knockout. The 35-year-old Senchenko dropped to 32-1 in front of a sparse home crowd at Donbass Arena. Senchenko, who hasn't fought outside Ukraine for more than five years, struggled from the start with Malignaggi's speed. The New Yorker was able to move in and out, firing off rapid punches while avoiding the slower, taller Ukrainian's strikes. Malignaggi started fast from the first bell, firing jabs and dodging quickly to stay away from the Ukrainian, who was making his fourth defense. Senchenko snapped back Malignaggi's head with two stiff jabs in the third, but the challenger c Sun, 29 Apr 2012 19:09:21 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/malignaggi_claims_wba_welterweight_title/10679861 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/malignaggi_claims_wba_welterweight_title/10679861 Malignaggi claims WBA welterweight title http://www.yardbarker.com/boxing/articles/malignaggi_claims_wba_welterweight_title/10679861 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png American Paul Malignaggi stopped previously undefeated Ukrainian Vyacheslav Senchenko in the ninth round Sunday to take the WBA welterweight title Sunday.
