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...
Saturday Results: Rojas and Ponce de Leon appear headed for showdown
Three cards from Mexico headlined Saturday night's action, so we'll start with those. From Merida: Elio Rojas (22-1, 13 KO) UD-12 Guty Espadas Jr. (45-8, 28 KO) to retain the WBC featherweight title. Rojas won on scores of 120-108, 119-109 and 119-109, a virtual shutout that should surprise no...
TV and Internet Fight Schedule - Weekend of February 19
This isn't the greatest weekend for boxing that there's ever been, but there are a couple of televised cards that should be widely available. This prolonged lack of major fights early this year seems to be evening itself out a bit, as it's starting to look like there could be a major fight every...
Mayweather overwhelmingly routs Marquez over 12 rounds in Vegas
Floyd Mayweather Jr. returned to the professional rings with a dominant, completely one-sided performance over a clearly smaller, slower, and overmatched Juan Manuel Marquez, winning an easy unanimous decision to improve to 40-0 (25) in his career.

Know Your PPV Undercard, Pt. 1: Cornelius Lock v. Orlando Cruz
Given that big fight weeks tend to bring out the casual, the curious, the new and sometimes the old and reinvigorated boxing fans, I thought it'd be a good idea to take a quick look at the three fights that will be seen on the televised undercard of the Mayweather-Marquez PPV this Saturday. We'll...

The talk is over, the fight is upon us. If Juan Manuel Marquez pulls this one off, it'll be a watershed moment for Mexican boxing and one of the great upsets of our time. If Mayweather wins with the ease that many expect he will, he's going to be hit with tough questions immediately....
Ranking the Featherweights: May 15, 2009
The 126-pound division may not be the glory weight it once was, but I think this is still a damn solid top ten. Biggest problem is that few of the top dogs in the division are exciting. 1. Chris John (42-0-2, 22 KO, WBA Titleholder) Indonesian John has been at or near the top of the division's...
