    While watching an interview from Chris Algieri regarding Jaime Munguia’s drug test results I came across this gem from the past.

  • Boxing in Media: Michael Montero is Back

    One of my favorite boxing pundits and one that I have promoted on here to my fans has returned after a hiatus. I believe his last stream was in February and he has returned for a midpoint review of 2023. He also led off with some updates from his personal life and reasons behind the…

  • Bait and Switch: Charlo (Jermell) vs Canelo Alvarez RETRACTION POST

    This poster floated around on social media yesterday and led to a lot of confusion. This also will lead to my first retraction post.

  • Classic Fight: Hagler vs Duran

    Based on some back and forth debating on this fight among forum posters Boxing News 24’s classic section’s scorecard thread, I decided to revisit this classic bout from the 1980s. I had not watched this fight in at least five years. My memory was that Hagler won, and he won clearly, but that it was…
