Friday Boxing Results: Exciting ShoBox, Not-So-Exciting Friday Night Fights
Santa Ynez, California Lateef Kayode UD-10 Matt Godfrey: This was about the fight I expected. Kayode (17-0, 14 KO) definitely looked better here than against Nicholas Iannuzzi, but now I wonder, very reasonably I think, if Iannuzzi isn't pretty significantly better than Godfrey, too, because this...
Saturday Global Boxing Results: Saul Alvarez Cruises Past Lovemore N'dou
It wasn't the biggest Saturday of the season -- in fact, it's the lightest Saturday since October -- but it was busy and eventful, too. We saw a Fight of the Year candidate on the Top Rank PPV, and plenty of notable fighters including Saul Alvarez, Daniel Ponce de Leon, and Ricky Burns were in...
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...
Boxing's 15 Biggest Losers of 2008

Sergio Medina admits he lied about threats from Lopez camp
Sergio Medina (pictured, right) nearly started the biggest scandal to hit boxing in many years. Stating just yesterday that he took a dive in his Saturday night loss to Juan Manuel Lopez after being threatened with death if he didn't go down in the first round, the Argentinian fighter has now...
Medina's agent believes the fighter is mentally ill
As we talked about earlier, Sergio Medina claimed he took a dive after receiving death threats last Saturday, and of course the story is developing since it's no laughing matter. Now Medina's U.S. agent, Sampson Lewkowicz, is saying he believes Medina may have "a mental sickness": "I don't...
Sergio Medina claims he took a dive after death threats
Source: El Nuevo Dia (BoxingScene.com has the topic in English here) Argentinian fighter Sergio Medina has made the claim that he received a death threat if he didn't go down in the first round against WBO junior featherweight titlist Juan Manuel Lopez in one of the featured undercard bouts last...
Tonight's undercard was a travesty
The main event is still to come, but we're going to have more time to kill, and that's after a thirty-minute break between the second and third fights. In the first televised bout, Daniel Jacobs stopped Victor Lares in the second round. Totally expected. The second fight was a joke, as Sergio...
