Your daily news updates.

By Gabriel Montoya: In the world of boxing, there are few surer ways to attract a top-level name fighter looking to extend his career (and wallet) with a win over a vulnerable, younger fighter than looking bad in a fight. IBF light heavyweight titleholder Tavoris Cloud did exactly that in his last outing, a February 2012 outing against Spain’s Gabriel Campillo. Cloud, a crowd-pleasing Tallahassee, Florida native, had the worst of nights, winning a decision many felt he didn’t deserve. His

By Steve Kim: The big news last week was that WBC junior middleweight titlist Saul “Canelo” Alvarez would be facing WBA beltholder Austin Trout in one of the more intriguing and anticipated bouts of 2013. But in a new change of plans, it would not be taking place May 4th on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather’s bout against Robert Guerrero at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

WBA lightweight champion Richar Abril (18-3-1, 8 KOs) made a successful title defense against previously unbeaten Sharif Bogere (23-1, 15 KOs) via 12 round unanimous decision at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday. Abril, who was cut over the right eye from a clash of heads, was deducted a point from referee Russell Mora in round eight. Abril then began to land the cleaner shots. Bogere was deducted a point in the 12th and final round for head butting. The scores

By Gabriel Montoya: For the past three fights, lightweight contender Sharif Bogere has been on a serious roll. Three fights. Three stoppages. Success is a delicately mixed brew in any sport.

But before the toughest of storms can be weathered together by fighter and trainer, another crew member’s work must be done. When Sharif Bogere contends with Richard Abril tonight on Showtime for the...

By Steve Kim: There are plenty of reasons why boxers do what they do. When Rocky Balboa’s would-be wife, Adrian, asked this question of him on their first date (in a memorable scene at a closed ice skating rink they had all to themselves in the original “Rocky”), the hard-luck pugilist replied, “Because I can’t sing or dance.” This punchline is another way of saying they do it because they may not have a lot of other options. Ironically, it’s the only thing many of them were meant
