Finally Anthony Joshua and Deontay have finally agreed to terms to fight for the undisputed heavyweight championship in Joshua’s home country of the United Kingdom. The target date for the fight is September 15 according to most reputable boxing sources. However, it could happen as late as October or November. Who’s Going to Win? Assuming […]

One thing that I am pretty confident about, is that Deontay Wilder vs Luis Ortiz will NOT go the distance. Both boxers are powerful enough yet flawed enough defensively, that I expect both of them to get hurt or knocked down at some point before the final bell rings. Wilder and Ortiz are both undefeated […]

It looks like 2018 will be the year that boxing’s heavyweight division returns to a semblance of prominence, hearkening back to the days of Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe and Lennox Lewis perhaps. As of right now, Anthony Joshua is the leader of the pack. The imposing Joshua is 20-0 (20 KO), boasting a […]

While Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor dominates the headlines, true boxing fans know that Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin is the far better fight!  Alvarez (49–1–1 (34 KO) is moving up in weight (from 154 pounds to 160 pounds) to challenge Golovkin (37–0–0 (33 KO) for the lineal middleweight championship of the world. Conventional wisdom says […]

It’s been a while since I lasted posted but after a nearly year-long hiatus, I am back! And what better fight to predict than the Andre Ward vs Sergey Kovalev rematch for the light heavyweight championship of the world!! Their first fight was a great one. Ward emerged victorious via a hotly-contested, somewhat controversial unanimous […]

Keith Thurman vs. Shawn Porter is the proverbial pick ’em boxing match. And the stakes are high: as they are fighting for the right to wear the WBA welterweight championship belt recently relinquished by Floyd “Money” Mayweather. How do I think this fight will shake out? In a fight that is extremely tough to call, […]

On May 21st, Deontay Wilder will defend his WBC heavyweight title against Alexander Povetkin in Moscow, Russia. And while it will be a hostile environment for the defending champion, Wilder has all of the ability in the world (i.e. his formidable jab and overhand right) to render the crowd noise null and void. Originally, the […]

This fight appears to be a mismatch in favor of Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. But as you know, looks can be deceiving. Canelo Alvarez V Amir Khan is not a mismatch. But it isn’t exactly even-money either. And here’s why I heavily favor Alvarez in this bout, based on some key numbers. 155. That is the amount […]

Been there, done that. But hopefully, the third time is a charm in terms of my Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley fight prediction. For Pacquiao-Bradley I, I incorrectly predicted that Pacquiao would not only defeat Bradley, but that he would score a late technical knockout. I couldn’t have been more wrong, as not only did Bradley go […]
