Bute vs Froch Won't Happen in April, Froch Looking For Homecoming Bout Instead
Despite the claims by both sides that they wanted to make an April 14 fight, and that they'd do it with or without backing in the U.S. from Showtime, a Lucian Bute vs Carl Froch fight appears to be off the table for now. Froch will instead focus on returning home, as he told Sky Sports (via Phil D....
Baby, Even the Losers: Saluting Some of Boxing's Best Who Fell Short in 2011
James Foley is back at Bad Left Hook this morning to take another look back at 2011, this time discussing some of the "losers" whose reputations went up after courageous performances, robberies on the scorecards, or just a great fight. There's one thing that disqualifies anyone from the...
Andre Ward and the Rest of the Super Six: Who Are We? Where Are We Going?
Now that the Super Six World Boxing Classic is in the past, let's take a look at the eight competitors, what we've learned about them in the last two years, and where they go from here. Andre Ward What We Learned: We learned that Ward (25-0, 13 KO) is the best super middleweight in the world, a...
Bolton v. Liverpool
This has been an odd season so far. The best teams have been not quite as good, while the worse teams have gotten better. There are only 5 points that separate 5th and 15th place in the table.

There were only about 2000 of us Bolton fans against a fairly full Anfield, but we sang the whole time (despite losing) and left in high spirits....
Ward vs Froch: Lucian Bute, Andre Dirrell, Mikkel Kessler and More Pick the Fight
ANDRE DIRRELL "My sense is going toward Ward. I believe Ward will win it - not just because he is a smart fighter but because when it's time to battle, he knows how to battle. But ultimately, his smarts come into play. He knows how to handle these fighters. It's almost like he dissects them. He's...

Bute vs Johnson: Glen Johnson's Habit of Complaining Becoming Ridiculous
Last night in Quebec City, Lucian Bute cruised past Glen Johnson with a near-shutout victory on the scorecards. There isn't a lot more to say about the boring, one-sided decision than we said last night, but there is more to say about something that happened after. After the fight, Glen Johnson...
