    WBA has come under fire for the controversy surrounding the scoring of the Gabriel Maestre vs. Mykal Fox fight. WBA was also criticized for having two bantamweight champions: Guillermo Rigondeaux and Naoya Inoue...

    Isaac Cruz outpointed Francisco Vargas in a lightweight bout on the undercard of Charlo vs. Montiel. Judge Eva Zaragoza scored it 100-89 for Cruz while Showtime's unofficial judge Steve Farhood scored it 99-90 for Cruz. Cruz won, but it was a more competitive fight than that. I had Cruz winning...

    ESPN digitally remastered Ali vs. Frazier rounds 1-8 but rounds 9 and 10 were aired in its original grainy footage and only snippets of the tenth round was shown before it abruptly cut to the brawl between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier in Howard Cosell's studio. It's baffling as to why ESPN would...

    March 8th marks the 50th Anniversary of Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier I. ESPN digitally remastered "The Fight of the Century" so it had much better picture quality. Commentator Don Dunphy was on-point calling the action. ESPN should've aired this historic fight at a better time rather than 1:00...

    I dislike Boxing on ESPN. If a fight starts at 5:00 pm, ESPN will show it at 6:00 pm because they're airing some stupid college football game. It happened with Shakur Stevenson vs. Toka Khan Clary where there was a one-hour delay because ESPN was airing college football. Similar problem happened...

    Elin Cederroos beating Alicia Napoleon-Espinosa to unify the WBA and IBF Super middleweight titles is another reason why the women's rounds should be a minute longer. Women's boxing is two minutes a round. Cederroos knocked Napoleon-Espinosa in the second round. Napoleon-Espinosa fought well...

    Jean Pascal defended his WBA light Heavyweight title against Badou Jack on the undercard and this fight stole the show! Pascal got off to an early lead, winning the first four rounds and knocking Badou down in the fourth round. Badou came on strong in the later rounds and scored a knockdown in...

    Gervonta Davis won the WBA lightweight title, knocking Yuriorkis Gamboa down in the 2nd, 8th, and 12th rounds. Unofficial judge Steve Farhood had it lopsidedly for Davis but I beg to differ as I saw Gamboa winning the 7th, 10th, and 11th rounds as Davis was slowing down in those rounds.

    Just finished watching Jhack Tepora vs. Oscar Escandon. Tepora is an undefeated featherweight with a won-loss record of 23 wins, 0 losses while Oscar Escandon is in his mid-30's. The veteran Escandon pulled off the upset, knocking Tepora out in the first round with a bodyshot. I was in a state...

    I'm watching the George Foreman vs. Alex Stewart fight. Brutal, as Foreman's eyes are swelling up badly in the sixth round. Referee Richard Steele has a reputation for stopping fights early but he didn't bother to stop this fight when Big George was in trouble.

    I'm watching last month's Tyson Fury vs. Tom Schwarz fight on ESPN. ESPN advertised as featuring the fight but it's not on Direct, it's on ESPN+ subscription service. ESPN only featured the prelims and not the fight itself. I recorded it thinking I was going to see Fury vs. Schwarz but I have to...

    Adonis Stevenson remains in critical condition after his eleventh round TKO loss to Oleksandr Gvozdyk in yesterday's fight. Stevenson was such a monster in the light heavyweight division for nearly six years that I'm at a loss for words when I found out this tragic news. Teddy Atlas made a...

    You got your info wrong. Tyson isn't fighting anymore. Mike Tyson retired in 2005 after losing to Kevin McBride.

    I just finished watching the Adonis Stevenson vs. Badou Jack fight for Stevenson's WBC Light Heavyweight title. Stevenson got off to a fast start, winning the first six rounds but Badou won rounds 7, 8, and 9. Badou Jack fought well, but he started winning rounds way too late in the fight. The...

    Luis Ortiz fought well against Deontay Wilder. Ortiz suffered a flash knockdown in the fifth round. He got up and hurt Wilder very badly in the seventh. I had Ortiz up ahead until he was TKO'd in the tenth round. I hope he challenges for the title again in the future.

    I was watching Antoine Douglas vs. Gary O'Sullivan middleweight bout on HBO. Sullivan pulled off an upset, winning by seventh round KO. Gary O'Sullivan bears a resemblance to WWE Superstar Cesaro and I want to be the first to say it.

    James DeGale vs. Badou Jack is a must see fight. It was a unification bout for the WBC and IBF Super middleweight titles. It was see-saw battle with DeGale scoring a flash knockdown in the first round and Badou fighting his way back into the fight in the later rounds, even knocking DeGale down...

    Kell Brook vs. Errol Spence Jr. for Brook's IBF Welterweight title was a great fight. Spence knocks Brook down in the tenth round but Brook comes fighting back later in the round to make it a competitive fight. That tenth round is candidate for Ring Magazine's Round of the Year!
