A Rougarou (pronounced Roo gah Roo) is a legendary half-man half-beast werewolf-like creature from Louisiana folklore known for its ferociousness. Undefeated welterweight and decorated amateur Prospect Regis 'Rougarou' Prograis is scheduled to bring his fight on the Ivan Redcak ShoBox undercard this January 2015. Prograis giving the moniker due to his power punching style looks to bring excitement to boxing fans in Cabazon, CA. Prograis who will be making his California debut is excited for the opportunity. "I knew that it would probably be the last time for me to fight so close to home, so I wanted to give my family, friends, and fans something to remember me by.", replied Regis when questioned about his previous fight in Opelousas, LA which only a couple of hours from his hometown in New O...

WBC Light-Heavyweight world champion Adonis Stevenson successfully made the fourth defense of his world title by scoring a brutal fifth round knockout over WBC fifth rated contender Dmitry Sukhotskiy on Friday night at the Pepsi Coliseum in Quebec City, Canada. Stevenson, a heavy favorite going into the fight did not face much resistance in this fight as the challenger was very defensive and did not let his hands go consistently. This allowed Stevenson to get his punches off first and to seemingly pick his shots. Stevenson scored a knockdown of Sukhotskiy with a left hand in round two and closed the show in round five scoring three knockdowns all as a result of left hands forcing a stoppage of the fight at 2:42 of round five. Although Sukhotskiy’s tentativeness was perhaps a tactical approach in looking to nullify Stevenson’s hand speed, Sukhotskiy simply did not have an answer to avoid Stevenson’s offense. With the win Stevenson advances to 25-1, with 21 Knockouts. ...

There is no doubt that one of the most interesting storylines in the current landscape of the Heavyweight division is unified IBF/WBO/WBA/IBO Heavyweight world champion Wladimir Klitschko’s march towards Boxing history. A consistent topic of discussion following a Klitschko title defense over the years has been who may come along that can provide a legitimate challenge to the champion. This topic did include Wladimir’s brother Vitali for several years as the two brothers ruled over the Heavyweight division with two iron fists. With Vitali now retired, the discussion has centered on who can provide a legitimate challenge to Wladimir. This observer has consistently analyzed who may be considered a future opponent for Wladimir as he has continued to compile successful title defenses. Some readers may recall following Wladimir’s fifth round knockout win over top contender Kubrat Pulev last month that I stated that I only saw two realistic options for Klitschko as 2015 approache...

One of the most interesting storylines that has emerged in the sport of Boxing in the last couple years has been the emergence of unified WBA/IBO Middleweight world champion Gennady Golovkin, who has earned a reputation as one of the sport’s premier knockout artists. As Golovkin has carved out what this observer has called a path of destruction through the Middleweight division scoring eighteen consecutive knockouts and successfully defending his world title twelve times, a question that has emerged is who may be able to give Golovkin a significant test. This observer has stated that I believe the time has come for Golovkin to face fighters that most would consider stars in and around the Middleweight division. Although most would say that the biggest star in the Middleweight division currently would be Miguel Cotto, the current WBC world champion. A fight between Golovkin and Cotto does not appear as a fight that will take place in the near future.  Cotto appears to be...
