Manny Wins ‘Boxer of the Decade’ Award, Floyd Hates
Trash-talking Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is questioning the basis for the Boxer of the Decade award given to Manny Pacquiao by the Boxing Writers Association of America and recently said he should be recognized as the world’s greatest fighter ever, dismissing the exploits of Hall of Famers Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali. Mayweather may be creating hype for his expected showdown with Pacquiao in November although nothing is certain about the much-awaited fight. Representatives from both camps are reportedly conferring to agree on terms that will make the bout a reality. Revenue splits and drug-testing are the main issues which need to ...
Chavez Jr. wins phone booth war!
All Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. had to do was avoid stepping near a boxing ring. He would have had a relatively peaceful life and could have made his own path in his own chosen career path. Instead, he chose to enter the arena that his father dominated. Indomitably, the comparisons started. But just as quickly as they began, they ended. Chavez Jr. had nowhere near the talent his father possessed, as he struggled with journeymen, getting some dubious decisions against Carlos Molina and Matt Vanda. A miserable showing against Midwestern hack Troy Rowland seemingly shut the door on the money making ...

Burpee Challenges: Are you up for them?
This one is very simple. I first saw it on Ross' website (www.rosstraining.com). Set your Gymboss to 0:00 Press 'Start' and begin a race to 100 burpees. No rest. See how long it takes you to get to 100 burpees. 6-7 mins= pretty well conditioned athlete 5mins=advanced conditioned athlete 4(and below)=very good condition The first time took me 7 mins. Eventually I got it down to 4:36. I haven't passed that mark yet. Another option is the: 10 minute Burpee Challenge. Simply set your Gymboss to 10 minute rounds (so it will ring every 10 mins). Press "Start" and begin your burpees. See how many burpees you can ...
Mayweather-Pacquiao fight bound for MGM
Las Vegas has finally crossed the finish line to land the March 13 megafight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao, sources close to both fighters said Saturday. The MGM Grand Garden, despite a seating capacity of only 16,200, appears to have won out over the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which could seat 100,000 for the bout. Top Rank president Todd duBoef said late Saturday the deal with the MGM Grand is not complete. A source close to Mayweather said: “Nothing is signed. The talks are ongoing. It’s getting close, but there’s no deal in place yet.” DuBoef’s boss, Top Rank founder ...

Pavlik Defeats Espino in 5 Rounds
Saturday night at the Beeghly Center in Youngstown, Ohio, Kelly Pavlik defeated Miguel Espino. Pavlik won the fight when Espino's corner threw in the towel during the 5th round and referee in charge of the action, Steve Smoger stepped in at 1:44 to halt the fight. With the victory, Pavlik who owns the WBO and WBC middleweight titles, record improves to 36 wins, 1 loss with 32 KOs. Espino's record drops to 20 wins, 3 losses and a draw with 9 KOs. A spirited effort by both fighters, but Espino hit the deck 3 times during the fight. It was obvious that ...
Pavlik hopes to put lackluster 2009 behind him
He was America's next great hope, remember? Kelly Pavlik first burst onto the national boxing scene in 2007 with a best boxing knockout of Edison Miranda and captured the countries hearts with two decisive victories of unified middleweight champion Jermain Taylor. With an entertaining back story and a concussive right hand, this tire-whacking, dart-playing, sleeping-on-his-mother's-couch kid from Youngstown, Ohio was quickly tabbed as the next American to thrust his name into a globalized sport that was being dominated by champions with the last names of Klitschko, Pacquiao and Marquez. Tabbed, that is, until an almost jaw-droppingly swift fall from grace. It has ...

Best Boxing Knockouts: Top 5 Fights of 2009
From Gorilla P (editor of Video):
A quick revisit of what I think were the top 5 fights of the past year. I know the year isn't quite over yet, however I'm pretty confident the remaining fights won't be able to top the ones on this list (apart from Paulie vs Diaz this weekend).
Apologies if your favourite fights didn't make my list, there were some really ...
Klitschko vs Haye
It is too easy to dismiss Vitali Klitschko as a boring, predictable and towering freak of a fighter from the old Soviet system because, in addition to all of the above, he can really fight.
Tonight in Berne, Switzerland, 17,220 people have paid to make Klitschko's latest defence of his World Boxing Council heavyweight title against American unknown Kevin Johnson a genuine sell-out. The truth is ...

Top 5 Fights of The Decade (HD)
I absolutely love this highlight! Watch it in HD. This video explodes with the best boxing knockouts of the last decade. The editing flows really well too. Truly amazing! Watch it below:
Williams vs Martinez Battle Exceeds Expectations
By Chris Iorfida. What makes a great fight?
In my mind, a healthy dose of much of the following: Knockdowns, surprises, suspense, changes in momentum, fighters changing styles and a good mix of great technical skill and all-out sloppy action.
The middleweight clash on Saturday in Atlantic City between Paul Williams and Sergio Martinez had all of it.
Both were knocked down in the first round, and ...
Khan vs Salita
By Alan Hubbard. Bolton’s finest wastes no time in showing his world-class standing under Roach.
Amir Khan produced the most stunning performance of his young career to retain his World Boxing Association light-welterweight title in just 76 seconds here at the Metro Radio Arena last night.
His mandatory challenger, Dmitriy Salita, literally never knew what hit him, hammered to the floor three times in the opening round ...
Mosley vs Margarito HD H/L
Extended highlights of one of Sugar Shane Mosley's greatest performances against the Mexican Antonio Margarito.
Mosley executes a perfect game plan (directed by the brilliant Nazim Richards), and does the unthinkable by knocking out the iron chinned Margarito
Cotto vs Margarito HD H/L
I really enjoyed this Cotto vs Margarito fight video. The editing is perfect and the fight is violent as hell. In Margarito's next fight against Shane Mosley his trainer was caught putting a plaster-like substance into his wraps (making his fists hard as rocks). It's OK though because a few months later Karma bit Margarito in the butt in the Shane Mosley fight. Either way, ...
