“When the legend becomes fact, print the legend” - The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance For years, there were two things easily taken for granted about the short, tragic life of a junior lightweight champion who never was. The first was that Tyrone Everett was the victim of one of the worst decisions of the 1970s. The second was that ...
Eric Tudor boxed his way back into the win column. All three judges had the junior middleweight hopeful winning every round in an eight-round decision victory over Luis Ramos. Scores of 80-72 across the board landed in favor of Tudor in the co-feature of a Golden Boy Fight Night on DAZN show Thursday evening from Commerce Casino in Commerce, California. ...
Teofimo Lopez apparently isn’t backing down from his call out of Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford. In an interview on Punsh Drunk Boxing, the former unified lightweight champion and current 140-pound titlist ramped up his goading of Crawford for a fight down the line. Crawford fully unified the welterweight division last year with a career-best win over Errol Spence Jr, prompting many ...
Abraham Nova knows what he should say about Robeisy Ramirez and the former featherweight champion’s surprising defeat to Rafael Espinoza two months ago.

The WBC super featherweight champion is confident, though, that Abraham Nova will be the fighter pushed to his limit in their 12-round, 126-pound title fight Friday night. Foster (21-2, 12 KOs), of Orange, Texas, officially weighed in at 130 pounds for ...

If you took a look at the resume of Emiliano Vargas, you’d be hard-pressed to find any recognizable names. Chastisement isn’t called for, however. Simply put, he’s slowly making his way up the lightweight ladder. This Friday night, he’ll take another small step in the right direction.

Jamaine Ortiz knew what he was getting himself into. He also heard all of the dubious voices warning him of what was to come. Teofimo Lopez can sometimes come across as incoherent.
