The Boxing Truth®

The Premier Boxing Champions series has steadily increased in popularity among both Boxing fans and experts alike since its debut in January of last year. Beyond the much-needed exposure that the series has brought the sport, one of the primary reasons for the series popularity is it has put on several competitive fights and entertaining cards since its inception.

Guerrero’s opponent for the would be “Comeback” fight was David Peralta. Peralta, a veteran of twenty-eight professi...

The 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil saw what should be considered an overall improvement for Olympic Boxing. A return to basics in regard to not only the scoring format in returning to the traditional 10-point must system where a winner of a round earns 10 points while the loser of a round earns 9 or less, as well as a return of no headgear for men competing in the Boxing tournament seemed to have a positive impact on the 2016 Olympics. Bouts in the tournament were generally quick paced and did have more entertainment value than had been the case in previous Olympic tournaments that were fought under the previous computerized scoring format that was in place from 1992-2012. The 2016 tournament also saw the inclusion of three professional fighters who competed against amateurs in the tournament. As controversial as the decision to allow professional fighters to compete against amateurs seemed however, it did not have as much an impact as some thought it would as all...

The Heavyweight bout between undefeated rising contender Jarrell Miller and battle tested veteran Fred Kassi was an interesting fight on paper. Miller, a fighter who has risen to top ten contender status in the World Boxing Association (WBA), the International Boxing Federation (IBF) and the World Boxing Organization (WBO) respective Heavyweight ratings has quickly established himself as a fighter to watch having knocked out fifteen of eighteen professional opponents prior to the fight with Kassi and had also won the North American Boxing Organization (NABO) championship in the Heavyweight division. In previewing this fight, this observer stated that two questions are usually asked when a fighter establishes himself as a top contender. A question of whether or not that fighter will face a significant test as a top contender followed by a question of how long it might be before that fighter gets an opportunity at a world championship. Some believed that Fred Kassi may have b...

In the sport of Boxing, a common topic that you will hear discussed and asked among Boxing fans of any description as well as experts will be in regard to who is the next “Great” and/or rising Heavyweight? Obviously, such a topic will invoke varying opinions as well as stir more than a few debates. The recent history of the division has seen a bit of an upward trend of such discussion due in large part to the rise of undefeated WBC Heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder as well as the emergence of undefeated unified WBA/WBO/IBO world champion Tyson Fury, who ended longtime champion Wladimir Klitschko’s over decade-long reign over the division last November. Although much of the focus of the division has naturally centered on both Wilder and Fury as two of the division’s central figures, undefeated knockout artist Anthony Joshua, who won the IBF Heavyweight world championship earlier this year has also established himself as a player. As Wilder, Fury, and Joshua sit atop a divi...
