The Super Middleweight division is currently one of the weaker divisions in boxing due to a mix of people moving up and also a lot of the top fighters getting old. All of the champions are good but it seems like we won’t be getting them fighting each other anytime soon. Outside of the topContinue reading “Super Middleweight needs new names”

Artem Dalakian the forgotten champ.
Artem Dalakian is a fly weight from Ukraine who currently holds a 20-0 record. He’s also the WBA world champion for that weight class yet no one talks about him. Often when someone isn’t talked about its because they are being avoided but I’d argue this isn’t the case here. While Dalakian is a goodContinue reading “Artem Dalakian the forgotten champ.”
Ryan Garcia vs Francisco Fonseca and the weeks boxing.
I’m a day late but luckily no big shows happened on Thursday apart from one in Japan where Ryoji Fukunaga upset Froilan Saludar to get the biggest win of his career. Theres not a huge amount of cards on this week but theres still some boxing to get excited about. The first card i’m curiousContinue reading “Ryan Garcia vs Francisco Fonseca and the weeks boxing.”
Callum Smith turns down Canelo but its all a bit confusing.
News broke today that Callum Smith turned down an offer from Golden Boy to fight the biggest star in boxing Canelo Alvarez. Oscar De La Hoya told ESPN that Smith had turned down three times his previous biggest pay day and had a little rant about how fighters don’t care about legacy anymore. Hes notContinue reading “Callum Smith turns down Canelo but its all a bit confusing.”
When was the last Super Featherweight unification?
Super Featherweight is actually one of my favourite divisions right now because of all the good match ups that can be made. The division currently holds four champions who can all be in fantastic match ups with challengers or each other. Now I’d argue that the super feather weight division deserves a unification considering theContinue reading “When was the last Super Featherweight unification?”
Sebastian Formella and why you might know him soon.
Formella is a 32 year old welterweight from Germany thats currently 22-0. Hes also the current IBO world champion though as most know its not recognised as a real championship. He did however win it by beating a good fighter in Thulani Mbenge who many thought would fight for a real world title in theContinue reading “Sebastian Formella and why you might know him soon.”
Jarrell Miller is back… for better or worse
We all know Miller because of the drugs tests he failed before the biggest fight of his career that was given to him when he hadn’t really beat anyone. After failing for so many substances you would have thought that promoters wouldn’t touch him with a barge pole but under a year later hes signedContinue reading “Jarrell Miller is back… for better or worse”
Who would fight for the WBC featherweight title if Russell vacates
Russell has said in recent interviews that he wants the big fights and will move up to find them at this point in his career. This means the WBC title will likely be vacant soon and I wanted to talk about who will likely fight for it. Jessie Magdaleno is number 2 in the WBCContinue reading “Who would fight for the WBC featherweight title if Russell vacates”
Donte Dixon, one to watch for the future
Donte Dixon took on Eduardo Valverde today and while the fight was competitive he was able to force the stoppage in the 4th and final round. This was a bit of a statement as Valverde is a good fighter and hadn’t been stopped before. Dixon looks like he has good power, hand speed and shotContinue reading “Donte Dixon, one to watch for the future”
Defend or vacate
It’s normal to see boxers defend their world titles twice a year now which in my opinion is still not often enough but what shouldn’t be allowed is defending once a year. To start off with the two fights a year nonsense is annoying. It means we don’t get to see the top fighters veryContinue reading “Defend or vacate”
