By Steve Kim (Photo © Chris Farina / Top Rank): After the fourth round of what was becoming more and more of a one-sided drubbing of Glen Tapia at the hands of the hard-charging James Kirkland, HBO’s Jim Lampley stated to the audience at home, “Glen Tapia is only 23 years old and may have a very bright future. You don’t want him to get ruined in one night.” In the wake of what has taken place recently with the likes of Franky Leal, Magomed Abdusalamov and Jose Carmona, surely discretion

By Jason Gonzalez (Photo © Tom Casino / SHOWTIME): Brooklyn, NY--- When Oscar De La Hoya made the announcement that his company, Golden Boy Promotions, would be the sole boxing promotional entity to showcase fights at the Barclays Center in late 2011, a specific match up often talked about, soon became a realistic possibility. Before Jay-Z ever opened the doors to the newly built sports complex; a venue that has now been in existence for a 1 year and 3 months, residents of the borough of kings..

Anson Wainwright: Through out the annals of time many very good fighters have failed to win a world title. Notably Sam Langford, Charley Burley etc. While it’s easier to win a world title today than in bygone years, there are still some very talented fighters who have yet to win a professional title.

By Gabriel Montoya: The struggles and triumphs of James Kirkland have been many. Born in East Austin, Texas, he found his way to Donald “Pops” Billingsley’s gym somewhere around the age of eight. From there, a bond with boxing champion Ann Wolfe was first forged and continues to strengthen with each passing storm in a relationship as tumultuous as it is fruitful. Saturday night, Kirkland and Wolfe once again enter the proving grounds of both their relationship and Kirkland’s future

By Steve Kim (K9’s ’Cold War’ logo by Chee, MaxBoxing): As you’re probably fully aware of, this weekend, there are fight cards broadcast on both Showtime and HBO. But unlike past conflicts, the starting times of the two shows are separated to a point where you almost wouldn’t call them conflicting or counter-programmed versus each other. Showtime, which airs a quadruple-header, starts at 8 p.m., ET while HBO doesn’t begin its broadcast till 9:45 p.m., ET. It&

By Steve Kim: At the opening press conference to formally announce this weekend’s bout at the Barclays Center (Showtime, 8 p.m., ET) in Brooklyn between Paulie Malignaggi and Zab Judah, the always talkative Malignaggi let loose a verbal barrage, not at his neighborhood rival but the media. And for a fighter with just seven knockouts to his credit in 37 professional outings (where he has notched a record of 32-5), it’s about as hard as he’s ever hit. Yeah, he’s not necessarily

On Wednesday (December 4), at 7 pm, the final press conference will be held for "World Championship Boxing: Wlodarczyk vs. Fragomeni 3", the WBC World Cruiserweight Championship fight being held this Friday, December 6 at UIC Pavilion in Chicago.

By Gabriel Montoya: The hurt business is, at its core, the respect game. You demand it and then you try and take it. It’s what the hug at the end of a fight between warriors (who’d moments before had been trying to kill each other) is all about. Fighters fight for all manner of rewards but respect is the one gift they likely crave most and is certainly the one you can’t buy. In this world, there are likely few people more proud of where they come from than fighters from B

By Steve Kim: In front of a lively and sizable throng at the Colisee de Quebec in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, the duo of Sergey Kovalev and Adonis Stevenson put on a display of power-punching that was both impressive and awe-inspiring this past Thanksgiving weekend. Kovalev, the co-headliner on this HBO broadcast, took care of Ismayl Sillakh - considered a “live” dog by some (OK; OK, admittedly that was me) - in two rounds and Stevenson dispatched the ballsy Tony Bellew in six heats. Instead

By Coyote Duran (Image made by Chee, Webmaster/MaxBoxing): Last night’s HBO doubleheader (tripleheader, if you consider the inclusion of last week’s rebroadcast of Manny Pacquiao’s resurgent win over Brandon Rios) was the perfect primer for new boxing fans (trust me on this one, kids. I shared tonight’s broadcast with the King and Queen Coyotes, my parents) in a very interesting light heavyweight feature from Colisee de Quebec, Quebec City, Quebec, Canada.

By Gabriel Montoya: A Testy Issue...The random anti-doping testing issue makes some boxing people touchy but it seems like some fighters, following the example set by Floyd Mayweather Jr. over three years ago, definitely want it.

Ruslan Provodnikov has been doing it voluntarily two fights in a row

By Coyote Duran: Once upon a time (actually back in 2001), I had this Palm Pilot (“…the Hell is that?” you ask. Trust me; personal digital assistants were all the rage for about five minutes) that I really did nothing but play games on. Before I accidentally sat on and crushed it, I was hooked on a card trick game that challenged one to mentally pick one card out of four, then hit a button to reshuffle the cards. The computer then “guessed” which card you mentally catalogued by omitting it from

By Gabriel Montoya: Coming into 2013, current WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis “Superman” Stevenson, 22-1 (19), was thought of a prospect and possible suspect. Heading into his fourth fight of the year and second defense of his light heavyweight crown Saturday against Tony Bellew, 20-1-1 (12), at the Colisee de Quebec live on HBO, Stevenson is arguably on track to be 2013’s “Fighter of the Year.” To start the year, the Port-au-Prince, Haiti native with a criminal past, now making his

By Steve Kim: Coming into his bout on April 27th, 2012, Ismayl Sillakh was considered among the best light heayvweight prospects in the world. At 17-0, Sillakh seemed to be a boxer on his way to bigger and better things as he faced Denis Grachev from the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas as the headliner on ESPN2’s “Friday Night Fights.” For much of the night, he was in complete control before he was shockingly halted by Grachev in the eighth round. Just like that, Sillakh went from

Caballero is facing Jessy Cruz, 10-5-1 (4), as part of the support card for the return of Antonio Tarver (from a one year suspension in California for testing positive for Drostanolone after a televised fight last year).
