Saturday Global Boxing Results: Alexander, Sturm Wins Stir Debate
Cologne, Germany Felix Sturm SD-12 Matthew Macklin: A surprisingly great fight, a toe-to-toe phone booth war, and Macklin came up short on scores of 115-113, 112-116, and 112-116. I didn't think this one was a robbery, as I scored it 115-114 for Sturm, but felt it could have gone either way, and...

Ranking the Lightweights: September 2008
The last time we did the lightweight division, it was March 23, on the heels of Campbell beating Diaz and Casamayor downing Katsidis. It was a different world then. It was a simpler time. A time before Pacquiao and Marquez moved up to take the top two spots. A time before Joan Guzman and Edwin...
