  • RIP Marvin Hagler 1954-2021 A Tribute to a Legend

    I am still reeling from the loss of Marvelous Marvin Hagler this past weekend. It is only fitting that I am watching the final victory of his career against John Mugabi as I type this blog post. As a child of the 1990’s Marvin Hagler was before my time but as a boxing aficionado he…

  • Opinion: Lomachenko Frozen out at 135?

    The lightweight division continues to gain high praise amongst boxing analysts due to its young talent but one veteran star stubbornly clings to the limelight. I and other boxing writers have discussed the lightweight division as the next “Fab Four” type of scenario that we saw in eighties with Marvin Hagler, Tommy Hearns, Roberto Duran…

  • Fight REview: Jessica McCaskill Defeats Cecilia Braekhus by Majority Decision

    Ahead of their undisputed female welterweight championship this weekend on DAZN I have decided to re-watch their initial 2020 fight from Tulsa, Oklahoma USA. Braekhus entered as the undisputed female welterweight champion holding all four titles and gunning to pass Joe Louis and his twenty-five title defenses. McCaskill entered as the underdog though she held…

    Canelo Alvarez and Avni Yildirim are set to square off tonight at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida on DAZN. This will be Alvarez’s first defense of his WBC Super Middleweight Title and is largely viewed as a tune up following his December win over Callum Smith to take the title and a warm…

    I received this email from the Barclay Center in Brooklyn. Crowds are returning, hopefully this means boxing will return to one of the leading boxing venues in the northeast! Stay tuned for updates, NJ should not be too far behind!

  • Dominic Breazeale returns Against Otto Wallin on Showtime

    Dominic Breazeale is at an interesting crossroads entering year nine of his professional boxing career. The thirty-five year-old two time heavyweight title contender is making his first ring walk since May 2019 tonight at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. The converted collegiate quarterback and 2012 boxing Olympian has carved out a successful career that saw…

  • Usman vs Masvidal 2: Pointless Rematch

    I realize that this is two negative posts in a row but I do not understand this fight at all! Usman won all five rounds of their first fight without much difficulty. It was also not a particularly exciting fight. I know Masvidal is a popular fighter and it is nice to see him get…

  • Adrien Broner: Not Interested Yet

    There was a time when Adrien Broner was a very exciting figure in the sport but he has become that bad ex you keep letting back into your life. Broner arrived on my radar in 2011 when he was getting featured on HBO and rising up the ranks of the 130 lb. division. His one…

  • Big Upsets, Big KO’s, and Underdogs Earn Their Keep a February 13th Recap

    Sorry for the half assed post I am putting out but Valentine’s Day weekend cut into my boxing watching and DAZN has been giving me some technical issues. I have not watched all of the fights from this past weekend but I caught the two most talked about fights and Anderson vs Ibeh of course.…
