Castaneda (16-2, 12 KOs) comes off a late knockout victory against Nestor Medellin in August. Former world champion and WNF commentator Chris Algieri previewed the upcoming bout. "Castaneda is a tough guy, an upset minded guy." Algieri said. "He beat the very highly touted Otha Jones III. Gave him his first loss, he was a really good amateur, who I think was signed right away to Matchroom. There was a lot of hype behind him and Castaneda beat him. A couple of fights ago he had a shootout that did not go his way, with Eduardo Hernandez who just had an incredible figh...

In August 2017, the Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) worlds were consumed by a fight that was a legitimate mega event in terms of interest. This observer is referring to the encounter between Boxing Hall of Famer Floyd Mayweather and two-division UFC world champion Connor McGregor, which took place in Las Vegas, NV and was one of the last successful pay-per-view attractions to draw a significant buyrate of over four million buys. The action in the ring that August evening favored the experienced boxer Mayweather, who stopped a very "Game" McGregor in ten rounds. The Mayweather-McGregor fight followed a familiar pattern in the realm of combat sports. In that when a fighter from one combat sport ventures into another combat sport where they do not have experience in terms of that sport being their primary discipline, the results often are not favorable for that fighter and more often than not, such bouts tend to be regarded as mismatches when all is said and done. This has b...

The Long Island native said, "ProBox TV is exactly what boxing has been missing and desperately needs. Competitive fights between hungry and talented fighters. I grew up only seeing good competitive scraps on TV. Nowadays that is so rare the case that every decent fight is touted as “fight of the year candidate”. From what I’ve seen thus far ProBoxTV only has competitive fights. There ain't no easy touches here. "That being said, I am extremely happy to be the newest member of the squad. Calling good, competitive fights with legit talent makes my job a...

  Undefeated Welterweight contender Conor Benn scored a brutal fourth round knockout of former WBO Jr. Welterweight world champion Chris Algieri on Saturday night at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England. Benn began the fight by trying to establish an attack to Algieri’s body. Algieri, a fighter known for his lateral movement and ability to pick his spots was unable to find a rhythm due to both Benn’s body attack as well as his head movement, which limited Algieri’s ability to land his jab. In round two, a short left hook to the head sent Algieri down in a summersault like motion where his legs momentarily got caught in the ropes. Algieri contended that it was a slip and appeared to indicate that he felt he was hit behind the head. Nevertheless, the knockdown was counted. Benn brought a sudden and dramatic conclusion to the fight in the fourth round when a brutal one, two highlighted by a right hand to the chin sent the former world champion down and out on the canvas. Official time...

  WBC/WBA number six rated Heavyweight contender Michael Hunter scored a dominant fourth round knockout of veteran Mike Wilson on Tuesday night at The Theater at Madison Square Garden. From the opening bell, Hunter’s hand speed and combination punching was simply too much for the thirty-eight year old Wilson to combat. Hunter implemented a balanced attack to the body and head of Wilson and landed several hard shots with both hands in displaying a full range of offense. What quickly became target practice for Hunter through three rounds seemed to give an impression that Wilson’s corner may have been tasked with the decision to stop the fight.   Before Wilson’s corner could face that decision however, Hunter decked Wilson with a flush right hook to the jaw that sent him down to the canvas in late in round four. Wilson was very “Game” as he staggered to his feet at the count of nine, but was unable to respond to Referee Ricky Gonzalez’ questions as he evaluated whether Wilson was...
