More MAYDAY!

By Marc Livitz: Cinco de Mayo weekend is fast approaching and that usually means what it has meant in years past. Floyd “Money” Mayweather, Jr., who can now truly be the one who sits alone well atop the mythical yet at times nonsensical “Pound for Pound” rankings will be the center stage in Las Vegas. The undisputed king of the boxing box office holds an undefeated record of 43 wins (26 KO’s) and no losses. Forty two have tried and failed. One has tried twice and failed twice...

By Steve Kim (Photo © Tom Casino / SHOWTIME): This past weekend, we saw competing cards once again between HBO and Showtime. The networks were scheduled to feature six fights between them (before inclement weather in Argentina forced the welterweight contest between Luis Abregu and Antonin Decarie to start early, thus not making the HBO broadcast). For years, head-to-head shows were problematic and spoke volumes on just how fractured this business could be at times. And folks...

By Jason Petock (Photo © Tom Casino /SHOWTIME): Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, New York was the dramatic theater that was set on Saturday for an electrifying evening of boxing between reigning and undefeated WBA Super World Light Welterweight and WBC Light Welterweight titleholder Danny “Swift” Garcia (26-0/16 KOs) and Zab “Super” Judah (42-8/29 KOs) in a 12 round grudge match for 140 pound supremacy in the division. The walk-up to the fight itself was anything but tame or less action-packed. F

By Steve Kim (Photo © Tom Casino / SHOWTIME): Like everyone else originally scheduled to go on February 9th at the Barclays Center, WBO middleweight titlist Peter Quillin saw his 2013 debut versus Fernando Guerrero delayed when headliner Danny Garcia suffered a rib injury and was forced to postpone his defense of his junior welterweight belts versus Zab Judah. Quickly, this Showtime card was rescheduled to this weekend. With that, Quillin, who had already spent nearly two months in Los Angeles..

By Gabriel Montoya: The goal in life should be to figure out what you are meant to do and then set about doing it. The lucky and hardworking persevere in this endeavor; the tests they face season rather than deter because those hopeful for greatness, like middleweight champion Sergio “Maravilla” Martinez, understand that attaining a life’s goal is about fighting through each challenge the journey there presents. In order to attain greatness in your calling, new challenges must constantly be met

By Steve Kim (Photo © Tom Casino / SHOWTIME): In talking to Zab Judah last week before he departed for his familiar haunts of Brooklyn, New York - where he faces WBC/WBA junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia on Saturday night at the Barclays Center (Showtime 9 p.m., ET) - he swore up and down that as fight week approached, he wouldn’t engage in any of the hysteria or the lunacy that broke out at the opening press conference to announce this event (originally scheduled for February 9th)

By Gabriel Montoya (Photo © Ray Rodriguez): “My mom is left-handed so maybe that’s the reason for the left hook. Genetics. Because my mom, all her side of the family, her brothers and my mom: they’re all left-handed,” smiled WBA/WBC junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia last December 15. Garcia sat comfortably at a large circular table backstage at the Amir Khan-Carlos Molina fight at the L.A. Sports Arena. He was fresh off his first defense of his partially unified crown: a

By Steve Kim (Photo © Tom Casino / SHOWTIME): I’ll say this right now, if I lived in San Antonio I’d be 30 pounds heavier. Because while Tex-Mex cuisine is to be found everywhere, locating an LA Fitness or 24 Hour Fitness is harder to find than someone wearing a Derek Fisher jersey in this city. Seriously, I was there from late Wednesday afternoon to Sunday and I literally didn’t see one workout facility during my stay there. I spent plenty of time at the famed Riverwalk and

By Gabriel Montoya: Heading into his 2011 fight with Grady Brewer, middleweight contender Fernando Guerrero had it all going his way. He was 21-0 with a growing following in Salisbury, Maryland. He was fighting often both in Mississippi and Maryland and drawing well. He had TV fights and industry notice. What he didn’t have was what he got that night: a reality check surprise loss. Brewer, considered a heavy underdog, shocked Guerrero and pretty much everyone else when he stopped Guerrero...

By Gabriel Montoya: Before an announced crowd of 39, 427 at San Antonio, Texas’ Alamodome, junior middleweight champions Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, 42-0-1, (30) and Austin “No Doubt” Trout, 26-1 (15), put on an exciting, tense, and much closer than the scorecards showed fight Saturday night. When it was over, Trout saw his first defeat and Alvarez got his past his first true test as a professional, adding Trout’s WBA title to his own WBC version. Judge Rey Danseco had it 115-112 Alvarez. Judge Oren.
