Angulo Puts Yorgey to Sleep

Gorgeous KO by Angulo. Stick and movers will still give him trouble but I’d advise anyone to avoid the trenches with this guy. Props to HBO for saying “Fuck you” to the WBC and their president Jose Sulaiman. The WBC suspended a very emotional Chris Arreola for cursing during his post-fight interview after his recent fight with Vitali Klitschko. HBO replayed a segment of it during...

Abraham Re-ruins Taylor

Apparently Taylor was damaged goods coming into the fight and Abraham pounded the remaining scraps of his career further into the ground. As usual Arthur began slowly but came on as the fight progressed. He almost ended it in the ninth after landing a hard right to the jaw but Taylor survived. Then, in a near replay of his last fight versus Carl Froch, Taylor was knocked out in the final seconds of...

Linares Shockingly Gets Iced in 1

Damn, woke up today to find out that WBA Jr. Lightweight Champ Jorge Linares got stopped in 73 seconds last night by Juan Carlos Salgado in Tokyo. Salgado had an impressive record coming into the fight but there weren’t any names on there. Salgado dropped Linares with a left hook to the temple early in the first. Jorge never recovered from the punch, and seconds after he got up he was trapped...

2 For Tua!

The Tuaman was back in action after a two year layoff. He only needed two rounds to completely destroy Shane Carwin. Fast hands and massive power made Tua look like Tyson in the mid-80s when he was beating on bums. At 36 it’s unlikely Tua will threaten for the Championship but the devastating KOs he scores will still put asses in the seats. Video courtesy of RingTV. Get the latest Flash Player...

Klitschko Dominates Arreola

In a very one-sided fight, Vitali Klitschko stopped Cristobal Arreola in 10 rounds tonight at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA to retain his WBC Heavyweight Championship. Arreola was never in the fight. Few jabs, poor lateral footwork and a lack of head movement left him wide open for Klitschko. Vitali used his jab and right hand to keep Cris at bay. Whenever Cris managed to close the distance...

Marquez’ Beating

Juan Manuel Marquez took the worst beating of the weekend. In fact, Saturday night is a perfect illustration as to why Boxing is less safe than MMA. UFC 103 took place in Dallas and there were a lot of beatings on that card. But even if you add all of them together they still do not add up to the 36 minute beating Marquez took at the hands of Floyd Mayweather Jr. in Vegas.

Avalos Starches Caro

This KO is from Friday’s Shobox card. Nineteen year old Bantamweight (118 lbs) Chris Avalos (12-0, 10 KOs) knocked out Giovanni Caro (13-8-4, 11 KOs) in four, exciting rounds. Official time was 2:25.
