By John J. Raspanti: Brian “The Warrior” Vera barely kept his title hopes alive by stopping Donatas Bondorovas at the Turning Stone Casino in Verona, N.Y. The bout was the main event on ESPN’S Friday Night Fights Series. The end came between rounds seven and eight after referee Charlie Fitch asked Bondorovas (who was cut above his left eye and nose) if he could see. Bondorovas, a Lithuanian who speaks English marginally well replied, “not so good” prompting Fitch to wave off the contest...

The site originally posted a story titled, “Peterson Tests Positive for HCG.” Hours later, the story title changed to “Peterson Allegedly Tests Positive for HCG.” Soon after, this writer tweeted

For Crawford, this was another developmental fight on his way up the lightweight ladder.

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.

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”

Robert, I wanted to send you my sincere congratulations for your very impressive TKO victory over Arthur Abrah

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”

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...

His large bulky frame, Cheshire Cat grin, booming voice, and high-pitched laugh suggest a force of nature. Wherever King goes, he’s encapsulated in a bubble of public attention. Everyone, from high-ranking corporate...

By Steve Kim: When Brandon Rios and Mike Alvarado first climbed into the ring together on the night of October 13th, 2012, they did something thought to be highly improbable. Over the course of seven heated rounds, the back-and-forth battle exceeded ridiculously high expectations. In an era when fans are conditioned to be guarded and prepared to be let down, this fight delivered - and then some. It’s one of those clashes that will be discussed for years to come. There were no titles...

But after the donnybrook staged by Tim Bradley and Ruslan Provodnikov, there will probably be about 250,000 claiming they were there. In another classic at this small, intimate venue...
