The Boxing Truth®

  Most associate trilogies as the third  chapter serving as the finale . In Boxing however, most trilogies  arrive at chapter 3 with a simple process. This process usually consists of two fighters splitting two heated  fights, which leads to the culmination of the rivalry  between the two in what is thought to be the final battle, the third fight.     The rivalry between  undefeated two-time Heavyweight world champion Tyson  Fury and former WBC Heavyweight world champion  Deontay  Wilder  has not been one that  most would call a “Normal” trilogy. For it was in their first fight in December 2018 that Wilder ,  the then  unbeaten WBC world champion overcame a  deficit on the scorecards  by scoring two knockdowns of  Fury including  a near fight ending knockdown in the twelfth and final round to earn a draw to retain his crown. A decision that even with two knockdowns  in his favor, some fel...

The 135lb. Lightweight division is traditionally one of the most talent stacked divisions where usually any of the top fighters in the division can make a claim to being the number one Lightweight in the world at a given time. Such claims can even come during such a time as the present where there is one undisputed world champion Teofimo Lopez and several other top fighters that each hold some claim as Lightweight world champion due to the politics that be in the sport of Boxing.  As most of the attention focuses on the upper echelon on the division most of the time, what about the vast crop of fighters looking to get into that position of being in the mix. What about the numerous contenders and former world champions that may not be getting a lot of the attention, but are still trying to get themselves in position to face either a world champion or one of the top fighters in the division. One such fighter is Miguel Vazquez. Some may recall Vazquez as the former IBF Lightweight wor...

European Welterweight champion David Avanesyan successfully made the fourth defense of his crown by scoring an impressive second round stoppage of Liam Taylor on Saturday night at the Wembley Arena in London, England. Taylor had some success in the opening round by landing some body shots on the champion, but Avanesyan as is his custom, applied steady pressure on his challenger and dropped Taylor late in the first round with a short right hand to the head. At this point in the fight, Taylor made a decision that seemingly said that if he could not box against a steady pressure fighter like Avanesyan, his strategy would be to go toe to toe. This proved to be very costly for the challenger as trading punches with the champion played right into Avanesyan’s hands and following a right hand, left hook combination that appeared to momentarily make Taylor go limb, Referee Mark Lyson stepped in and stopped the fight before any further damage could be done. Official time of the stoppage was 2:...

  Undefeated WBO number twelve rated Super-Middleweight contender Daniele Scardina gradually broke down veteran Juergen Doberstein before stopping him in five rounds on Friday night at the Allianz Cloud in Milan, Italy. Before a crowd of 1,200 socially distanced spectators due to the ongoing circumstances of the global COVID-19 epidemic, Scardina, who was fighting for the first time in nearly two years due to both the aforementioned circumstances as well as his own bout with the COVID-19 virus, was frustrated in the early rounds due to the elusiveness of Doberstein, who opted to make lateral movement the focal point of his strategy as he attempted to make full use of the ring while attempting to attack Scardina and execute his offense in sporadic spurts. While this strategy did indeed prove effective for a period of time as the bigger Scardina, a fighter who has become known for his punching power, had significant difficulty early on in cutting the ring off to limit Doberstein’s mo...

  CREDIT: Dragon Fire Boxing  Unbeaten Heavyweight Dylan Winter scored a brutal fourth round knockout over Ryan Williams to win the Western Australian State Heavyweight championship on Friday night at Metro City Nightclub in Perth, Australia. In what was the main event of promoter Tony Tolj’s Dragon Fire Boxing’s Thunderdome 36 event saw the two fighters engage in what could be described as a brawl early. For a period of time, Williams was landing hard right hands over a jab on Winter. As Winter began to get his own jab going however, the momentum shifted and he was able to gradually accumulate punishment on Williams, the end came when in the midst of a barrage of punches, Winter decked Williams with a flush left hook to the head that sent him flat on his back on the canvas. Although Williams was very “Game” in trying to get up from a knockdown that frankly would have ended the night for most fighters on the receiving end of that kind of punch, he staggered badly once he got t...
