Darchinyan dominates Guerrero; Angulo gets the shrift against Zappavigna
On tonight's Shobox, unified super flyweight titlist Vic Darchinyan scored a wide unanimous decision over unknown but very game contender Rodrigo Guerrero. The final scores were 118-110, 117-111 and 120-108. Bad Left Hook scored the fight 119-109. Not much was expected from this fight, which was...
Fight Preview: Vic Darchinyan-Rodrigo Guerrero
Without question, Saturday night's special edition of ShoBox: The Next Generation was not exactly what Showtime had in mind for March 6. Originally, Saturday night was going to kick off stage two of the Super Six World Boxing Classic. Arthur Abraham and Andre Dirrell were set to meet in Rancho...
Vic Darchinyan retains March 6 date on Showtime

Coming Attractions: Karoly Balzsay, Steve Cunningham, Jorge Solis, Breidis Prescott and more
A lot of this is from Dan Rafael's Notebook. Others are just fights coming up we have yet to discuss here. The Roy Jones Jr.-Jeff Lacy fiasco has moved. The Floridians will now take to the ring on August 15 rather than August 22, which makes sense given the free alternative that HBO is carrying on...
The most exciting fighters we don't get to see
A few days ago, Thomas Hauser put up an article on ESPN.com listing the guys who he thought were the 16 most exciting boxers today. While I can't quibble with his list (for the most part, other than maybe Arthur Abraham, I agree with his list), he does make a nod that he might not be including...
