Gamboa vs Garcia: Brother Robert Breaks it Down

Chris Robinson

•Jun 6, 2011

On April 16th the landscape of the featherweight division was changed dramatically when WBO champion Juan Manuel Lopez was shocked by unheralded Orlando Salido in eight rounds inside of the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. The upset ruined any immediate plans of a fight between Lopez and WBA champion Yuriorkis Gamboa, a fight that many had been hoping to happen for well over a year and one that seemed set to be heading to the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Earlier this week, news broke that eight-division champion Manny Pacquiao has settled his defamation lawsuit against Richard Schaefer and Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy Promotions on confidential terms. De La Hoya and Schaefer had said remarks in the past that hinted at Pacquiao's use of performance-enhancing drugs, an act that that enraged the Filipino star, and the tension underlined the Top Rank-Golden Boy feud at the time.

On Wednesday, former WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto caught many off guard by appearing to accuse his recent conqueror Victor Ortiz of using some type of Performance Enhancing Drugs prior to their raucous April bout. In a fight that saw each man hit the canvas twice, Ortiz would walk away with a close unanimous decision that obviously still has Berto reeling a bit.

On November 12th Manny Pacquiao will defend his WBO welterweight crown against former foe Juan Manuel Marquez inside of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is a bit of a weird time for Pacquiao, who has seen a huge fight with Floyd Mayweather elude him yet still shown the willingness to fight on as he reaches the twilight of his career.

Over the weekend I caught up with Showtime analyst Al Bernstein, a man you can always count on for an insightful interview. Bernstein and I talked in-depth about the November 12th Manny Pacquiao-Juan Manuel Marquez trilogy set to take place in Las Vegas and many of its surrounding subplots, such as Pacquiao's future heading into 2012 and what Floyd Mayweather must be thinking from the sidelines.

According to a report on BoxingScene.com, Juan Manuel Marquez and his team are looking for a new opponent after potential foe David Diaz priced himself out of their proposed July 16th date. Marquez was looking at Diaz as a tune-up heading into his November 12th date against WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao but it looks now like the Mexico City star is looking at other options.

Alex Ariza Welcomes The Reunion With Amir Khan

•May 29, 2011

By Chris Robinson - On Saturday, WBA super lightweight champion Amir Khan announced to his 181,000 Twitter followers that he has been working with his previous strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza, whom he had a slight falling out with after his December victory over Marcos Maidana at the Mandalay Bay. Khan noted that he and the Colombian will commence working this Monday at 6 in the morning in preparation for his upcoming fight in July against an yet-to-be-determined foe. In April Khan pulled out a six-round technical nod over Ireland's Paul McCloskey in his native England, a fight in which he looked far from stellar, and many of his supporters had been hoping for a reunion with Ariza. The two seemed to work well with one another but they parted ways shortly after the Maidana fight, with Ariza claiming he hadn't gotten paid for his services and even accusing members of the Bolton fighter's camp of breaking into his hotel room in order to steal his contract. A few weeks ago, the two sides met to begin discussions about possibly repairing their working relationship. During an interview with BoxingScene.com, Khan was very clear that he was interested in a positive solution to have Ariza return to the corner. "My conditioning was great for the Maidana fight. Everyone knows that Alex is a great conditioning coach. I mean, look at Manny Pacquiao and myself. But there are a few things that we have to get ironed out. I think that it would be good if we could get things ironed out," said Khan. While Ariza didn't want to open up too much about another working relationship with Khan due to legal purposes, he couldn't hide his excitement towards the proposition. "I like his intensity," Ariza told me when asked for his favorite traits of Khan. "His openness, his willingness to try new things. Everybody is now doing things a little bit differently. The things you do sometimes can be very taxing and a lot of the guys just don't make it. But he was one of the guys who was up every day and I could tell that some of the days he just wasn't digging it, he was still doing it and putting 100% into it." In the Maidana fight Khan started fast by scoring a first round knockdown off of a body shot yet had to hold of the surging Argentinean down the stretch of the fight. In the tenth round Khan could be seen absorbing some unearthly power shots from Maidana, yet he found a way to weather the storm and hold on for a tight unanimous decision verdict.

Maidana: Either Amir Khan Fights Me or He Can Vacate

•May 26, 2011

Just a month ago it seemed like a forgone conclusion that we were going to be seeing a summer showdown between junior welterweight champions Amir Khan and Timothy Bradley. Bradley had won an uninspiring ten-round technical nod over Devon Alexander in January while Khan easily controlled Ireland's Paul McCloskey for six rounds in his native England before the fight was stopped in the sixth after a clash of heads forced a nasty gash that saw McCloskey unfit to continue.
