Mario Barrios was tired of being called a steppingstone. The unwanted nickname wasn’t some arbitrary alias that fans wanted to give him, but instead, they looked at his body of work.
On paper, David Morrell would appear to be at the point where he’s considered a prospect, a highly touted one but a prospect nonetheless.
Jarrell Miller is as confident as they come. You really can’t blame him. Before he took on Daniel Dubois, he was an undefeated fighter with a checkered past but a ton of ability.
Beating his competition with ease and holding onto a world title did nothing to land Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade the big fight he wanted. So, with the sand in his hourglass slowly whittling away, the 35-year-old decided to drop his middleweight title in the nearest trash bin he could find and move up in weight.
From the outside looking in, it seemed as though Otto Wallin was going to give Anthony Joshua hell in the ring. The two officially met up in the main event slot last weekend in the Kingdom Arena, in Saudi Arabia.
It’s been a beautiful, yet frustrating two years for Dmitry Bivol. In 2022, the Russian star essentially gave oddsmakers the middle finger as he was viewed as a gigantic underdog against Canelo Alvarez. After 12 rounds, he found himself on the winning side of things, eking out a unanimous decision victory.
Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela was apoplectic when he was given the first results. After going 10 hard-fought rounds with Chris Colbert a few months prior, the 24-year-old believed he did more than enough to earn the victory. He was wrong.
Dmitry Bivol desperately needed a fight. The 2023 calendar was just about over with and the WBA titleholder didn’t have anything planned.
It’s been a while since fans have seen Gary Russell Jr. in the ring. The former featherweight champ has been both out of sight and out of mind since losing his title to Mark Magsayo in January of 2022.
Sometimes, when things are going your way, you can get ahead of yourself. Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela can admit that hubris began seeping into his bloodstream with each highlight-reel-worthy knockout.
