The 28-1 Jose Carlos Ramirez was looking to impress his fellow Californians on Saturday night when he battled the 30-2-1 Rances Barthelemy at the Save Mart Arena in Fresno. It was the first fight in over a year for Ramirez, who was once junior welterweight world champion and was now aiming to return to the top of the heap. The veteran Barthelemy, on the other hand, was looking to shake things up by proving he was more than a fighter past his prime. The fight was scheduled for twelve rounds. Читать дальше...

The red hot 20-0 junior middleweight Virgil Ortiz Jr stepped into the ring on Saturday night to take on the 26-6-1 veteran Thomas Dulorme knowing a major fight against the popular Tim Tszyu was at stake. Should he defeat Dulorme, Ortiz would face Tszyu on the August 3'd Terence Crawford-Israil Madrimov pay per view card. Should he happen to lose to Dulorme Saturday at Fresno's Save Mart Arena, however, Ortiz would not only miss out on the opportunity to face Tszyu, his... Читать дальше...

Should Vergil Ortiz succeed in defeating Thomas Dulorme this Saturday night when they meet at Fresno's Save Mart Arena, he will find himself in line to face the popular and notable Tszyu. What's more, should Ortiz emerge victorious on Saturday, he and Tszyu will fight on the absolutely... Читать дальше...

Devin Haney took to Instagram Wednesday to declare he wants another fight with Ryan Garcia - just under different circumstances than the ones he found himself in last Saturday night at Brooklyn's Barclays Center. For, although he had been heavily favored walking in, Haney ended up being soundly beaten by the brash Garcia in their 12 round fight. "First off," Haney stated, "I wanna say.. Alhamdulillah Allah is the perfect planner and I trust his plan no matter what. I came up short but this boxing... Читать дальше...

It appears the question of when the great Terence Crawford will return to the ring has been answered. According to numerous reports, the undefeated pound for pound king will make the leap to junior middleweight to take on WBA titlist Israil Madrimov at Los Angeles' BMO Stadium on August 3'd. It will be the first time the fighter known as "Bud" has fought since completely dominating Errol Spence in a welterweight championship superfight last summer. For the Madrimov fight...

Devin Haney took a beating from Ryan Garcia Saturday night at Brooklyn's Barclays Center. That wasn't how things were supposed to have turned out. Garcia, who had been acting bizarrely in the leadup to the fight, missed weight by a whopping three plus pounds and came across as not taking the bout seriously. Suffice to say, Garcia surprised a whole lot of people when he knocked Haney down three times on his way to a majority decision win. With that being said, the strange... Читать дальше...

Saturday night, it all went down. After one of the strangest leadups to a fight in recent memory, the 31-0 Devin Haney and the 24-1 Ryan Garcia finally did battle at Brooklyn's Barclays Center. Although Garcia literally didn't stand a chance of winning Haney's WBC junior welterweight title (due to the fact he had weighed in more than three pounds overweight at Friday's official weigh in) he could silence all the doubters if he somehow delivered an upset win. Would he be able to do that, however? Читать дальше...

The 29-0 junior welterweight Arnold Barboza squared off against the 18-1 Sean McComb in the co-main event of Saturday's Devin Haney-Ryan Garcia card at Brooklyn's Barclays Center. The Barboza-McComb match was scheduled for 10 rounds. Southpaw McComb pushed the action in the first. Barboza, on the other hand, remained patient. It became apparent in the second that Barboza was dealing with an awkward, fairly high volume puncher. What's more, Barboza had clearly decided that... Читать дальше...

Supermiddleweights Bektemir Melikuziev and Pierre Dibombe engaged in a scheduled 12 rounder Saturday night at Brooklyn's Barclays Center. The 22-0-1 Dibombe fought the 13-1 Melikuziev patiently at first, choosing to remain on the outside for most of the opening round. Dibombe, however, had what appeared to be a serious cut at round's end. And indeed it was a serious cut, just over the left eye. With that being said, the fighters continued to throw and move with patience in the second. Читать дальше...
