Pacquiao-Clottey undercard actually not as bad as being made out
There has been a lot of really harsh criticism toward tonight's undercard for the Pacquiao-Clottey event in Arlington, and while I'm certainly in the same boat with these folks when it comes to wishing the fights were more significant, it kind of seems like a bunch of people shouting down a...
Bad Left Hook Boxing Awards: 2009 Knockout of the Year
A great knockout can be thrilling and chilling at the same time. Some of them come after wars, some of them come at the end of domination, and sometimes, they just suddenly happen. There were a lot of fantastic knockouts in 2009, but one stands above the rest for me. It was a fight and a moment...

Jason Litzau wins at Camp Lejuene, Figueroa and Holloway draw
On tonight's special ESPN2 card at the Camp Lejuene Marine base in North Carolina, Jason Litzau won a wide decision over ex-Marine Johnnie Edwards in the main event, and Frankie Figueroa and Rashad Holloway fought to a six-round draw in the co-feature.

Miguel Cotto turns down Margarito, goes back-and-forth with Figueroa
Despite Antonio Margarito's delusional claims that he'd "allow for" a rematch with Miguel Cotto next year if he's re-licensed in the States, don't expect that fight to ever happen. Miguel Cotto shot it down and left no second-guessing about the matter. "I don't care about anything Margarito has to...
Roach now says Cotto could be stopped in the first round
Leave it to Freddie Roach to go from "This is the toughest fight of Manny Pacquiao's career, and anyone who underestimates Miguel Cotto is an idiot" to "Manny might knock him out in one round" in the course of about a month. Ronnie Nathanielsz reports that the famed trainer is getting more...
Bailey destroys Figueroa with KO of the Year candidate right hand
Watch it, thrill to it, be in awe of it. One perfectly executed right hand following -- as Teddy Atlas calls it -- a blinding left-hand purpose jab and Frankie Figueora is OUT at the hands of Randall Bailey. B-r-oodle. I know it's been a little slow here, but I wanted to formally welcome...
The 2008 Bad Left Hook Awards
Since the year is all but over and there are but a few even semi-major fights left, and no big American TV cards (I'm not counting the Valuev-Holyfield PPV circus as a big card), it's about time to get into some awards here at BLH. We'll do a top 20 for fights sort of like we did last year, but...
