The Boxing Truth®

Three-time Super-Middleweight world champion Carl Froch has fought many of the best fighters of his era.  After emerging on the world stage by scoring a thrilling come from behind victory in his fight with Jermain Taylor in 2009, it is hard to argue that Carl Froch has not become not only one of the stars of the sport of Boxing but also, one of the most exciting fighters to watch.  Froch’s willingness to stand and engage with his opponents has resulted in some of the Super-Middleweight division’s more memorable recent battles.  Following his win over Jermain Taylor, Froch continued to impress, taking part in the Super-Six World Boxing Classic Super-Middleweight Tournament which saw the best of the Super-Middleweight division square off to determine supremacy at 168lbs.  After defeating previously unbeaten Super-Middleweight contender Andre Dirrell in his first fight in the competition, Froch faced former Super-Middleweight world champion Mikkel Kessler in 20...

The Jr. Welterweight division has long been one of Boxing’s most talent rich divisions.   Such great fighters as Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. Pernell Whitaker, Oscar De La Hoya, Arturo Gatti, Micky Ward, Floyd Mayweather and many others at one time or another plied their craft in 140lb. weight class.   Presently the division is dominated by two world champions the undefeated unified WBC/WBA World Jr. Welterweight champion Danny Garcia and the IBF world champion Lamont Peterson.   Although it is tempting to assume that it is only a matter of time before Garcia and Peterson square off to determine Jr. Welterweight supremacy, it is important to remember that the division is deep when it comes to top contenders each looking for their chance to knock either champion off his pedestal. One such contender is the undefeated Dierry Jean.   Jean may be one of the division’s dark horses.   Despite compiling a record of 24-0, with 16 Knockouts, an argument of some coul...

Over the course of the last two or three years several exciting Heavyweight prospects have emerged on the scene and have become fighters to watch as potential opponents for either Wladimir or Vitali Klitschko.  Although the Klitschko Brothers remain in firm control of the World Heavyweight championship and continue to dominate all would be challengers, the question most Boxing fans seem to have is who might be able to adequately challenge the brothers that this observer refers to as the two-headed Heavyweight championship monster? In recent times the Heavyweight division has seen a group of fighters emerge as hot rising prospects on the verge of becoming legitimate contenders.  Most notably among the group are fighters such as Bryant Jennings, Artur Szpilka, Dereck Chisora, David Price, and Tyson Fury. Both Price and Fury one might argue have received the majority of the attention of these prospects despite Dereck Chisora being a former world title challenger...

Undefeated Unified WBA/IBO World Middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin has become one of the hottest fighters not just in the Middleweight division but of the entire sport of Boxing.  Golovkin a fighter with a near 90% career knockout ratio has the kind of crowd pleasing style and punching power that can turn heads.  Golovkin first burst on the scene here in the United States by scoring a devastating knockout win over a game but overmatched Grzegorz Proksa  in a fight where Golovkin knocked Proksa down  in rounds one, four, and then knocking him down face first in round five forcing the bout to be stopped.  Golovkin clearly established in one fight that he was a fighter to watch.  Golovkin followed that win by punishing Jr. Middleweight contender Gabriel Rosado who was moving up in weight to the Middleweight division.  Golovkin dominated from start to finish cutting Rosado in the second round and continuing to punish the game challenger be...

Many were filled with anger following the decision of the WBO World Welterweight championship fight between then champion Manny Pacquiao and undefeated Jr. Welterweight champion Timothy Bradley in June of last year. Many fans and experts, this one included believed that Manny Pacquiao won the fight decisively and that an injustice took place.   Anger however was not exclusively pointed at the three judges who scored the fight but also the promoters and most unjustifiably Timothy Bradley.   What seemed to be overshadowed in the aftermath of the fight was the bravery that Timothy Bradley showed in a fight where he suffered ligament damage to both feet.   Bradley’s courage certainly cannot be questioned. Bradley feeling he had something to prove returned to the ring to defend his Welterweight world title for the first time on March 16 th against Jr. Welterweight contender Ruslan Provodnikov who was moving up in weight to the Welterweight division.   The bout ...

Regardless of how you spell it, pronounce it, or what you think of history when it comes to Boxing you must think of Bernard Hopkins.  Hopkins not only defines it, he continues to rewrite Boxing history. Hopkins continues to prove to young fighters the need to study the Science of Boxing.  Hopkins is the master of the class and continues to teach the Sweet Science of Boxing.  On March 9 th we were treated to Hopkins’ style of education first hand.  A lesson for all young fighters to heed.   When I previewed the IBF World Light-Heavyweight championship fight between undefeated champion Tavoris Cloud and the seemingly ageless two-division world champion and future Hall of Famer Bernard Hopkins, I stated the keys to success for each fighter.  For Cloud it was critical in my view that he get Hopkins’ respect and establish himself from the outset.  Cloud needed to establish a consistent punch output and put smart pressure on the forty-ei...

Former Middleweight and Light-Heavyweight world champion Bernard Hopkins has had a career that most young fighters would probably dream of.   In a career that has spanned nearly twenty-five years, Hopkins has certainly earned the moniker of future Hall of Famer. Hopkins will of course go down in history as a legitimate top five all-time Middleweight. Twenty successful title defenses, the most in the division’s illustrious history in a ten year title reign from 1995 to 2005. During this period Hopkins went on to totally unify the World Middleweight championship becoming the only fighter in history to hold all four major world titles in a division at once.   As if Hopkins’ accomplishments as a Middleweight were not enough to solidify his legendary stature in the sport of Boxing, upon leaving the Middleweight division Hopkins showed that he is one of the sport’s top Light-Heavyweights. Since scoring a dominating victory over former Light-Heavyweight champion Antonio Ta...
