  • Response to “Haney beat Garcia in a Rematch”

    This is a bit of a response that I wrote elsewhere to the question of whether Devin Haney could beat Ryan Garcia in a rematch of their recent main event clash at 140 lbs. That said, while I think Haney could win a rematch, I would not bet on it with any degree of confidence.…

  • Boxing Rumors: Major Heavyweight Card in December

    Social media boxing circles and tabloid press have been discussing a rumored mega fight card from Saudi Arabia in December of this year. I cannot find a reputable source reporting this as signed and finalized and it feels too good to be true. However, as a fight fan this would be the best news of…

    After weeks of posturing and negotiating, Canelo Alvarez has signed a three fight deal with Premier Boxing Champions to fight on Showtime PPV. Negotiations with Dmitry Bivol and Badou Jack have fallen apart and Alvarez has since moved on. Bivol would not budge on the weight class as he wanted to come down and attempt…
