By Steve Kim: This weekend, much of the boxing spotlight will focus in on the rematch between Brandon Rios and Mike Alvarado at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, which will be featured on HBO (10:15 p.m. ET/PT). Meanwhile, in a small independent pay-per-view show from the exotic locale of Monte Carlo, WBA middleweight titlist Gennady Golovkin faces Nobuhiro Ishida in a stay-busy affair. This fight comes off the heels of his January 19th seventh round TKO win over Gabriel Rosado and could be a

By Gabriel Montoya (Photo © K9 Photos): The last time we saw junior welterweight contender “Mile High” Mike Alvarado, 33-1, 23 KOs, he was unloading everything and the kitchen sink on Brandon “Bam Bam” Rios, 31-0, 23 knockouts, at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA to no avail. Time and again, Rios would pressure to get inside and Alvarado would drill him with a long jab followed a right hand that would crush the skull of most normal people. But Rios is not normal. No one nicknamed “Bam Bam”

By John J. Raspanti: Robert Stieglitz regained the WBO super middleweight title by stopping defending champion Arthur Abraham after three rounds at a sold-out GTEC Arena in Magdeburg, Germany. The fight was telecast live on EPIX Sports. Stieglitz had said for months that Abraham, who defeated him by unanimous decision last August, was only borrowing the WBO belt. Most pundits favored Abraham. Stieglitz (45-3, 24 KOs) was in control from the opening bell. He backed the defending...

By Steve Kim (Pic by Chee, MaxBoxing): OK, if you’re a rabid boxing fan (and if you’re visiting this website, I’d say this qualifies you as such), unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, then you’re well aware HBO made it quite clear at the beginning of this week that they would not be dealing with Golden Boy for the foreseeable future. This also means a vast stable of boxers who fight under the Golden Boy banner will not be appearing on the “Network of Champions”

By Steve Kim (Photo © K9): It was the usual busy scene this past Monday morning at the Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood. Even in the early hours, this gym was bustling with activity by professional prizefighters and white collar clients alike. But as Ruslan Provodnikov stepped through those doors, slowly, the cacophony inside this building died down, replaced by an ovation for the Russian, who seemed a bit overwhelmed by the reception given him. No, he didn’t get the decision...
