The Jr. Middleweight bout between former five-time world champion Shane Mosley and former two-division world champion Anthony Mundine seemed to be the definition of a crossroads fight. Mosley, who returned to the ring earlier this year following a brief retirement to defeat top Welterweight contender Pablo Cesar Cano was one might argue attempting to reenter the mix in either the 147lb. Welterweight or 154lb. Jr. Middleweight divisions where he has previously held world titles throughout his career. The choice to face Mundine however, one might say was a curious choice. After all Mosley although previously a world champion at 154lbs. has had sporadic success in that weight class having a record of 4-3-1, with one no contest as a Jr. Middleweight. On this basis one could have made a justifiable argument that Mosley would be an underdog against Mundine, a man who has previously held titles in both the Middleweight and Super-Middleweight divisions and who is naturally bigger t...

The 168lb. Super-Middleweight division one might argue has seen a global surge in popularity since the groundbreaking Super-Six World Boxing Classic tournament that ran its course from 2009 through 2011. Along with showcasing much of the division’s top fighters, the tournament also ultimately established eventual tournament winner Andre Ward as the top fighter in the division. An argument can be made however, that if Ward is considered the number one fighter in the division, then Carl Froch the tournament runner-up and three-time world champion of the Super-Middleweight division is certainly 1-A. Since losing a close and competitive fight in the tournament finals to Ward in December of 2011 Froch has gone on to make a very good argument for himself as being the number two or 1-A fighter in the division behind Ward. Froch regained a portion of the Super- Middleweight title in his first fight following the completion of the Super-Six by destroying previously undefeated longti...

The natural question that a fighter who is attempting to come back from a devastating knockout loss will have to answer is how did the knockout that they suffered affect them? It goes without saying that a knockout can have several different affects on a fighter. A fighter who was normally aggressive could turn into a defense a fighter and be hesitant to let their hands go. For fighters who suffer a particularly devastating knockout questions could also be asked about their ability to take a punch in fights following that knockout. In the case of Boxing superstar and former multi-division world champion Manny Pacquiao those questions were all present when he entered the ring against Brandon Rios on November 23rd in Macau, China. Pacquiao, who was fighting for the first time since suffering a brutal knockout loss at the hands of his arch rival Juan Manuel Marquez last December, one might argue had more to prove in this fight than Rios who was fighting for the first time in t...
