In May of last year the Boxing world focused it’s attention on the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV to see Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, two of the sport’s biggest attractions over the last decade finally face off in what was a legitimate “Super Fight” scenario. A scenario that was not all that unlike the epic encounters of the 1980s featuring Boxing’s “Fabulous Four” Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Thomas Hearns, and Roberto Duran. All of those fighters fought during a time where there was not much posturing and simply put the best fighters fought the best. Although Mayweather-Pacquiao failed to live up to the anticipation that preceded it in terms of what happened once the two future Hall of Famers got in the ring, there is no disputing that it was a “Super Fight” in the sense of not only the anticipation of the showdown, but also in terms of how successful it was from a business standpoint breaking all existing pay-per-view and live gate attendance records. ...

For undefeated unified WBA/IBO/IBF/WBC Middleweight world champion Gennady Golovkin and top WBA Middleweight contender Daniel Jacobs, a potential fight between the two is one that should be considered a fight fan’ s fight. Not only would an encounter between two pit two exciting fighters against one another, but it would also be a battle between two of the division’s knockout artists. Before an encounter between Golovkin and Jacobs could be discussed however, both fighters stepped into the ring on September 9th and 10th respectfully to do battle against other opposition. For Jacobs, his fight would come in the form of a rematch against former WBC Jr. Middleweight world champion Sergio Mora on September 9th at the Santander Arena in Redding, PA. The first encounter between the two was best described as this observer stated before the rematch as “Inconclusive.” This was due to Mora suffering a fractured right ankle which caused the fight to be stopped in the second round. In ...

Two significant fights in Boxing’s Middleweight division take center stage this weekend as both bouts could have an impact on the overall landscape of the division. The first of the two bouts will take place on Friday night at the Santander Arena in Redding, PA as current World Boxing Association (WBA) number one Middleweight contender Daniel Jacobs faces former WBC Jr. Middleweight world champion Sergio Mora in a bout scheduled for twelve rounds that will headline the latest addition of the Premier Boxing Champions series broadcast by Spike TV in the United States. This is a rematch of a fight that took place in August of last year that had a somewhat “Inconclusive” outcome. In what was an exciting fight where both men suffered knockdowns, the combat was halted in the second round when Mora, who was in the process of attempting to evade Jacobs’ offense went down to the canvas with his right leg bent awkwardly and suffered an injury to his right ankle which forced the fight to be...

Sometimes in the sport of Boxing one may wonder what some experts and fans alike look for in the endless search for rising prospects. For this observer, I tend to look for things that stand out whether it be a fighter’s skills or whether a fighter has charisma that seems to generate interest. In the case of rising Jr. Welterweight prospect Darwin Price both of those things stand out. Price, a native of Houston, TX began his professional career in 2013 and compiled an undefeated record of 10-0, with 5 Knockouts prior to his encounter with fellow rising prospect Javontee Starks on September 3rd at Cowboys Dance Hall in San Antonio, TX in a fight that headlined a Premier Boxing Champions card and a bout that was fought one pound above the 140lb Jr. Welterweight limit. This appeared to be the definition of a development fight for both fighters as each looked to take the next step in progressing toward contender status. In Starks, Price faced a slightly more experienced fighter in...
