Judah Vs Mosely undercards....

ESPN reports the undercard for Judah/Mosley could be

Jorge Barrios/Rocky Juarez
Bika/Codrington 2
Caballero/De Leon 2

Wouldnt be a bad card, Rocky Juarez should get his career up after a loss from Juan Manuel Marquez and the De Leon vs Caballero fight would be interesting, lets see if De Leon will revenge his first and only lost to Caballero.. and of course the two skilled fighters Judah and Mosely fight will be more interesting but i hope Mosely wins...

Wladimir Klitschko will be fighting Tony Thompsom after beating Ibragimov

Well, sources say it is confirmed that Wlad will be fighting Tony Thompson, his WBO mandatory next. Looks like another tomato can to me. I guess Povetkin is 2-3 fights away before he gets Wlad. Any chance of Klitschko fighting Peter is pushed out till 2010 the earliest.

Tyson Vs Holyfield Rematch is coming soon...

Holyfield in talks with Tyson for boxing re-match

4 hours ago

LONDON (AFP) — American boxer Evander Holyfield said in an interview published Thursday that he was in talks with Mike Tyson for a re-match of their infamous 1997 fight.

Speaking to The Guardian, Holyfield, who failed in his quest to regain a version of the world heavyweight title in October, said: "There has been some talk between us.

"Mike had Jeff Fenech, who's been training him, call me a few months ago. Jeff says Mike wants to fight me again -- but he needs to know if I would agree to it. I said, 'It all depends on what they gonna give us -- because I'm gonna catch a lot of flak if I say I'm fighting Mike Tyson again. I've already said I don't want to fight Mike no more'.

"Jeff says, 'What if Mike gets in proper shape?' I told him that's ok but I can't be part of it if Mike's going to pull out. Jeff said, 'The main thing Mike wants to know is if you would be willing to fight him again?' I said, 'Yeah, if the price is right, I probably would'."

In their 1997 fight, the second between the two boxers, Tyson, now 41, bit Holyfield, now 45, twice and ripped off a chunk of his ear, which he spat onto the canvas.

The Mayweathers want none of Cotto

As crazy as Roger is when asked about Cotto he was like "I Don't
Know If He Beat Shane Mosely. What Do You Think?" He asked the
interviewer from doghouseboxing. I know what it is. Straight up.

Miguel isn't great but he's very very good but shows little emotion like a
modern-day Joe Louis. This would make a horrible 24/7 but the fight
would sell out.

eff that! Miguel is full of skill & COURAGE & would make the
necessary adjustments to beat Floyd in a dec. Miguel is the true
pro because he respects his opponents & doesn't degrade or
bad mouth anyone. He lets his fists do the talking. I've been
watching boxing in die-hard fashion for almost 20yrs. In today's
boxing Cotto & Pavlik are complete throwbacks. They could've
made it in the 20's.

Joe Mesi the best heavyweight ever?

If Joe Mesi retires undefeated will he be considered one of the best heavyweights ever? He's never been defeated and whenever he's been tested (Jirov, Barrett) he has found a way to win. I still think he needs a big name win on his resume, Holyfield, Rachman or Byrd, to be considered one of the best. But he could possibly beat all three of them now because neither are in their prime.

Oscar De La Hoya vs Floyd Mayweather on September 20

After their last fight on may 5, 2005. Here comes the rematch which was dated this September 20, 2007 in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. On their first fight Floyd Mayweathr(W39(ko 25),L0,D0) won by a Split Decision to become a world champion in five different weight classes. On Dec 8, 2007 Mayweather defeated Ricky Hatton to retain his WBC welterweight world title by a 10th round tko, while Oscar De La Hoya(W38(30ko),L5,D0) will be fighting the former IBF Superfeather weight champion Steve Forbes(W39(9ko),L5,D0) this may 3, 2007 in Home Depot Center, Carson, California, United States. Well i hope Oscar De La Hoya will get his revenge but we all know how skilled the current pound 4 pound champion Floyd "Money" Mayweather is.

Vitali Klitschko's Comeback Fight

At a meeting, it has been confirmed that Emeritus Champion Vitali Klitschko will first get a shot at the Maskaev-Peter winner. Therefore, and because of the summer olympics in Beijing, the eliminator between Gomez and Virchis has been postponed to September 28th... Source: Fight-News.

Injin Chi making his K-1 debut today

Injin Chi, the WBC world champ that walked away from the sport last year to pursue a K-1 career, will be making his debut today.

The fight is in Japan, and will apparently be shown live here in South Korea, at 4:00pm. I'll post an update for anyone interested.

I can't think of any other world-title-holding fighter that has left boxing for another sport. There were millons to be made! Apparently, the problem was with his management contract. I heard a promoter here say that Chi signed a contract that had no dates, making it a "lifetime" contract, by default. His only escape was to leave the sport.

Michael Katsidis vs Joel Casamayor on March 22

LOS ANGELES, CA (February 22, 2008) – In an intriguing clash of styles that will have boxing pundits declaring this bout an early candidate for 2008 Fight of The Year, master boxer Joel Casamayor will put his Ring Magazine Lightweight World Championship on the line against a fighter many are calling the next Arturo Gatti, unbeaten Australian and WBO Interim Lightweight World Champion Michael Katsidis. The 12 round championship contest, for the WBO Interim and Ring Magazine Lightweight World championships, will take place on Saturday, March 22 at the Morongo Casino Resort & Spa and will be televised live on HBO’s Boxing After Dark, beginning at 10:05 p.m. ET / PT.

Whats Next for Christian Mijares?

So, another top level win for the Mexican southpaw last night, over Navarro. What next for Mijares, who made the 4th successful defense of his WBC super flyweight crown?

He was on schedule to fight Dimitri Kirilov, which would have been another quality name (to add to Navarro, Kawashima twice, Arce). But there is a more important fight out there for him, a unification with Fernando Montiel.

As we know, Montiel devastated a somewhat faded Martin Castillo. Montiel is so well coordinated and looked so purposeful vs Castillo. I always felt that Castilo wasn't half the boxer or athlete that Montiel is.

Anyway, Mijares-Montiel is a must (but I'd gladly see Mijares-Kirilov as well). Mijares is an excellent champion. Montiel has finally laid rest his "timid" losses (Gonzalez & M Johnson). This would be a vital unification and an excellent all-Mexico fight that would feature a lot of skill.

De La Hoya vs Forbes bout set for May 3

Oscar De La Hoya laughs before a news conference by boxers Bernard Hopkins and Joe Calzaghe at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on Feb. 21.
Fight at the Home Depot Center will serve as prelude to De La Hoya's September rematch with Mayweather.

By Lance Pugmire, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer

Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions officially announced Friday that De La Hoya will fight Steve Forbes on May 3 at the Home Depot Center in Carson.

Calling the event "homecoming weekend," De La Hoya, the East Los Angeles star who won a 1992 Olympic gold medal for the U.S. and has won six world championships, will fight Forbes (33-5, nine knockouts) in advance of his September rematch against unbeaten welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr.

The Forbes bout will mark a preview of an anticipated war of words between cornermen, as trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. has returned to train De La Hoya (38-5, 30 KOs). In Forbes' corner will be the elder Mayweather's brother, Roger, who also serves as Floyd Jr.'s trainer.

Mayweather Sr. was set aside in favor of Freddie Roach by De La Hoya before his May 2007 bout -- a split-decision loss to Mayweather Jr. -- but the sides have reunited.

The bout will be televised on HBO. A network spokesman said this week there were no plans to offer the channel free that weekend.
