The Boxing Truth®

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.

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 ...

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...
