Tank Davis and Ryan Garcia Collab On Boxing’s First Superfight Of 2023

Corey Erdman

•Nov 21, 2022

By Corey Erdman - Apart from being terrific fighters, Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia are likely the two most social media and marketing savvy boxers in the world today. One could even make the argument that as sole practitioners without a league or team construct to aid them in their marketing efforts, their breaking into the mainstream consciousness is even more impressive than when athletes in one of the four major sports in the United States manage to do it.

•Nov 14, 2022

By Corey Erdman - Sixteen months ago, Steve Spark was at his day job as a bartender slinging drinks at the local pub when he received a call that would alter the trajectory of his life and career. He was being offered a fight against Tim Tszyu, now regarded as one of the best light middleweights in the world, ten days later. Although Spark was a natural 140-pounder, he said yes without hesitation. He finished pouring his drink, finished his shift, and began getting ready for a gargantuan challenge.

Dmitry Bivol's Mastery Continues With Dominant Win Over Zurdo Ramirez

•Nov 7, 2022

By Corey Erdman - There is a quote often attributed to Leonardo Davinci that reads “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” This feels like apt wisdom when it comes to analyzing Dmitry Bivol, whose approach in the ring is unpretentious and fundamentally adherent, but at the same time one of the sport’s most puzzling riddles for his opponents.

•Oct 31, 2022

By Corey Erdman - If you were a boxing fan who had no idea who Jake Paul or Anderson Silva were and walked into a bar showing their fight on Saturday night, you might have wondered how a fight of this caliber was a pay-per-view main event, but you wouldn’t have questioned that the men in the ring were legitimate professional fighters.

Mauricio Lara’s Violent Transformation Into A Featherweight Threat

•Oct 24, 2022

by Corey Erdman - Ninety minutes before his bout against Jose Sanmartin would begin, Mauricio Lara sat in a curtained off dressing room area inside the converted bull ring he would be fighting in that night enjoying an airplane-sized bag of salty snacks. Lara was laughing and joking with team members, and his good friend and featherweight titleholder Emanuel Navarrette, looking wholly unconcerned with his scheduled task in the ring.

The Shadow Of The Fate Of Olympic Boxing Looms Over Women In The Sport

•Oct 17, 2022

By Corey Erdman - When Claressa Shields, Savannah Marshall, Alycia Baumgardner and Mikaela Mayer all turned pro, their goal, and the hope of women’s boxing fans was that they would wind up in “superfights,” ones just like their male counterparts were a part of.

Fundora ‘Wanted To Excite The Fans’ With Performance Against Ocampo

•Oct 10, 2022

By Corey Erdman - Sebastian Fundora learned to fight in a boxing ring set up in the family backyard. To this day, it’s where he prepares for his fights with his father Freddy and sister Gabriela. At 6’6” and 154 pounds, he looks even taller in this environment, his head towering over top of the cactuses that surround the yard in Coachella and looming amongst the palm trees, a monster preparing for battle in the desert.

"Born Rivals" Eubank Jr. and Benn Travelled Parallel Path To Saturday’s Showdown

•Oct 3, 2022

By Corey Erdman - Given that Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn engaged in one of boxing’s most infamous rivalries, one would think that a fight between their sons who became pro boxers themselves was an inevitability. Though that turned out to be the case—the familial disdain and millions of dollars were ultimately too alluring despite a gap in size and experience—this wasn’t the path the fathers laid out for Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn.

Joe Joyce Gets His Message Across With KO Win Over Joseph Parker

•Sep 26, 2022

By Corey Erdman - If you were to show footage of Joe Joyce to a casual boxing fan unfamiliar with him, they might think he’s nothing special. Of course, that’s supposing you showed them clips of him before he folds his opponents up for the count of ten. Prior to that, Joyce can seem rather unassuming in the ring, as he is behaviorally outside of it. Compared to flashier, more

Canelo-Golovkin Trilogy Clash Closes Chapter With No Debate on Rightful Victor

•Sep 19, 2022

By Corey Erdman - For the better part of five years, the boxing world has been debating Canelo Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin. That won’t stop, even after Saturday night, nor will it any time soon. Alvarez and Golovkin provided the sport with its finest three-fight display of high-level boxing this era has seen, and as with all closely contested rivalries over the years, banter pertaining to them won’t stop now. Making the discussion all the more heated is the fact that they also gave us two of the most discussed set of scorecards in boxing history as well.
