Can Mosley derail the Pacquiao express? By Evan Young

Every time Pacquiao fights it is an event as he is not only boxing’s best fighter, he is also the sports most popular boxer. You couldn’t write Pacquiao’s script any better than the way it has played out. A poor, skinny Filipino kid with nothing, leaving home as a preteen for the big city of Manila to navigate his life through the brutal prize rings in hopes...

(March 26, 2011) Dmitry Pirog retained his WBO world middleweight title in Ekaterinburg, Russia, today with a dominant but unimpressive decision over Javier Francisco Maciel.

Bernard Hopkins vs. Jean Pascal fight preview

Bernard Hopkins challenges Jean Pascal for his WBC light heavyweight title in Montreal on Saturday night. Hopkins is a marvel at nearly 46, fighting at a high level. He’s had a tremendous career recording a record 20 title defenses as middleweight champ. While he will be remembered as a great fighter, I think he deserves credit as one of the greatest self managed fighters...

Harris, many will recall, was a hot and cold contender in the late 90's and early in this decade. He had ability and talent, fought many top guys, but never had the best chin and perhaps was mismanaged during portions of his career which resulted in some...

Alfredo Angulo vs. Joel Julio breakdown

Excellent match-up between punchers as Alfredo Angulo defends his interim WBO light middleweight title against Joel Julio on Saturday night from Ontario, California. The bout will be televised on HBO along with Tomasz Adamek vs. Chris Arreola. Both these men can seriously punch and could hurt the other. But I think Angulo is the better technical fighter as he has good balance...
