The Boxing Verdict

In another move that seems to signal that Turki Alalshikh is determined to fix boxing, and hopefully kill off the governing bodies for good, Golden Boy and Top Rank have revealed they have signed deals to work with Riyadh Season, and I couldn't be happier.

With another brilliant weekend of boxing in the books, I look back at what I consider to be a fight-of-the-year contender from Saturday as Owen Cooper took on Ekow Essuman in an instant classic.

Oscar De La Hoya, the promoter, is far removed from Oscar De La Hoya, the fighter, and I can't quite figure out if he is a genius or a con man.

With rumors gathering pace about Manny Pacquiao vs Mario Barrios, I explain just why I think it's a joke and nothing more than another example of The WBC putting money before fans.

Ryan Garcia's fall from grace seems to be complete, which makes me sad on many levels. But I don't think that Ryan Garcia is the only person responsible for this sudden demise and today I explain why.

On the 22nd of January, 1973, in the National Stadium in Kingston, Jamacia, George Foreman, and Joe Frazier, two fighters with undefeated records, stood across the ring from each other with all the marbles on the line. This was to decide who was the best, the true champion, and the winner would walk away as Heavyweight Champion of the World, and the World waited with bated breath. Then George Foreman proceeded to murder Joe Frazier in under two rounds and the history of boxing had one of, if not the. most shocking moments of all time.

In 2015, Floyd Mayweather finally faced off against Manny Pacquiao in a fight that disappointed nearly everyone who watched it. It was a bout 5 years in the making, and neither boxer was at their peak, which leads to the question of what would've happened if the two had met earlier and has had fight fans asking ever since, Did Floyd Mayweather Duck Manny Pacquiao?

When 'Marvelous' Marvin Hagler and Thomas 'The Hitman' Hearns faced off against each other at Caesars Palace, on April 15th, 1985, most people expected a very close affair between the two men. What they DIDN'T expect was what happened over the next 9 minutes or so. Join me today as I look back at Hagler vs. Hearns: 3 Rounds of Utter Insanity.
