(I know I’m late on this, but it’s been a while since I posted, I hope it’s still somewhat relevant.) Floyd Mayweather has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. Commenting on his arrest is probably unfair at this point, but it all started with a racist UStream rant over a week ago. [...]

After a fairly long layoff, Fanatic is back. Shit’s been crazy in my world lately and it’s not getting any better. Hopefully I’m back for good but we’ll see. Over the weekend Glen Johnson and Tavoris Cloud contested a hard-fought battle that could have gone either way. This coming weekend, king of the light heavyweight [...]

Young boxers come a dime a dozen. I feel like I hear about a new prospect every week. Some of them develop into champions while most fade away. Only a few actually become special fighters. After winning a gold medal in the 2004 Olympic Games, Andre Ward was developed slowly. Due to injury and carefully matched [...]

Considering the timing, I couldn’t have gone with a better choice this week. Allan Green debuts in the Super Six Tournament this Saturday against Andre Ward. Ward is the superior boxer, but as seen in the video Green has the ultimate equalizer. He’s got the power to take out anybody in this tournament. No more [...]

Today, 64 years ago, the world lost the first African American heavyweight champion. On June 10, 1946, Jack Johnson died in a car accident at 68 years of age. I don’t want to go in to too much detail here as the video does a pretty good job (plus you can find everything on Wikipedia). [...]

Cotto-Foreman at Yankee Stadium is an event I’m pretty excited for in itself, but it also has a very good undercard fight. Top Rank prospect Vanes Martirosyan puts his undefeated record on the line against the tough but unknown Mean Joe Greene. Back in 2007 a 21 year old Greene faced Daryl Salmon on ESPN2. [...]

Miguel Cotto has always represented what every fan dreams of in a star fighter. Cotto has made a career out of breaking down the top fighters in his weight class. He’s determined and undistracted. He’s methodical and relentless. Unfortunately, these are the qualities that led to his downfall. Cotto has never ducked a fighter. During his [...]

This week’s KTFO is from Abner Mares, who fights on the Showtime undercard Saturday night. The KO comes a little after the 1:40 mark and it’s the first body shot knockout featured at S&M. After getting beaten severely, Carlos Fulgencio takes a beautiful left hook body shot that lays him out. Doug Fischer immediately reacts by saying [...]

Today marks the birthday of maybe the greatest heavyweight of all time, Joe Louis. In honor of the Brown Bomber, here is his signature victory. A first round knockout in his second fight with Max Schmeling. There is a lot of history to this fight. It is easily one of the most important boxing matches [...]

This week’s KTFO is showcasing Walter Dario Matthysse. At one point, Matthysse was an undefeated exciting fighter from Argentina. Before his first loss, he was 25-0 with 24 knockouts. I’m not here to talk about his career though. He’s only showcased here because he was knocked out silly by both Kermit Cintron and Paul Williams, [...]
