By Mark F. Villanueva It was Donnie Nietes’ first fight at the 108lb division after coming up from the Minimumweight class, but it seemed as though his diminutive opponent from Mexico was the one moving up. The WBO Minimumweight World Champion was beaming with confidence in his corner, waiting for the bell to signal the fight, staring at Armando Vasquez, who made a … [Read more...] about Donnie Nietes Lands At 108 (with Photo)

ERIK MORALES WON: In the Heart of Millions
By Reni M. Valenzuela Heart is what millions of people saw in the action-filled battle between Erik Morales and Marcos Maidana. The fight seemed unfair. Morales was virtually one-eyed from round two fighting a heavily favored opponent from Argentina with two sharp eyes all throughout the brawl. What an unbelievable odd for the Mexican legend. … [Read more...] about ERIK MORALES WON: In the Heart of Millions
SHANE MOSLEY WILL BE STOPPED BY PACQUIAO AFTER THE 9TH ROUND: PART II
By Don Donatello The fight between Shane Mosley and Antonio Margarito was very misleading. Mosley's win over Margarito made him look like he was a giant killer. When Margarito fought Shane, Margarito was mentally and psychologically shaken due to the discovery of his illegal hand wraps; his mind was a 1,000 away from the fight. Plus Margarito had trouble making the … [Read more...] about SHANE MOSLEY WILL BE STOPPED BY PACQUIAO AFTER THE 9TH ROUND: PART II

Nonito Donaire Jr: A Hybrid Filipino
By Mark F. Villanueva Change is good, but most certainly not without hurt. We detest it when something or someone new disrupts established patterns we have become deeply set in, ostracize it when something different presents itself. Who knows how much each of us may have missed over the years with that approach, individually or collectively, as a people? Admit it. … [Read more...] about Nonito Donaire Jr: A Hybrid Filipino
Manny Pacquiao Ran When He Fought Erik Morales
By Chuy Marco I find it funny how some biased Manny Pacquiao fans will say that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a runner. Show me a fight where Floyd ran -- you can't! Because Floyd doesn't run, he knows distance and space and how to get in range and get out. Floyd Mayweather fights in the pocket and slips and counters shots, making guys miss and pay, he never runs, he fights like a … [Read more...] about Manny Pacquiao Ran When He Fought Erik Morales

Rematch is a Repeat: Segura Again Overwhelms Calderon
By Gary Purfield The first fight between Giovanni Segura and Ivan Calderon was a thrilling eight round slugfest that resulted in the Ring Magazine’s fight of the year. The second time around will not be considered for the same distinction. The only similarity was the result as the bigger and stronger Segura was able to overwhelm the boxer Calderon to a stoppage. … [Read more...] about Rematch is a Repeat: Segura Again Overwhelms Calderon
Don’t Be Surprised If Mosley KO’s Manny Pacquiao
By Lou "Cinder" Block I watched the Fight Camp 360 Pacquiao vs. Mosley first episode on CBS this morning and I seen the hunger in Sugar Shane Mosley's eyes.
