Rising junior middleweight star Tim Tszyu would love to secure a fight with current IBF, IBO middleweight champion Gennadiy Golovkin. Tszyu admits to idolizing Golovkin for several years.
This past Saturday night, Brian Castano (17-0-1, 12 KOs) captured the WBO junior middleweight championship with a dominant twelve round unanimous decision over Patrick Teixeira (31-2, 22 KOs) at Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California. The scores were 120-108, 119-109 and 117-111.
Demetrius Andrade is dead tired of fielding inquiries about the time he supposedly “ducked” Jermell Charlo. Whatever it was, the incident stretches back to 2014–Barack Obama was president, HBO was still pumping money into boxing telecasts, and the coronavirus was a nonentity–when Andrade was scheduled to defend his junior middleweight title against Charlo on a Showtime broadcast in what would have the first of a three-fight deal.
By Jake Donovan - With the growing likelihood of only getting one fight in for the year, Teofimo Lopez Jr. was going to make it count. The unbeaten 23-year old Brooklyn native did just that, not only pushing for a fight with three-division titlist Vasiliy Lomachenko but also forcing the action once they met in the ring on October 17. The end result was a clear unanimous...
Covid-19 dropped boxing to its knees with a sucker punch in 2020 forcing the sport to take a prolonged respite in a neutral corner for much of the year. Down but not out, the sweet science came storming with a vengeance by mid-year. What the pandemic depleted in quantity of bouts was adequately compensated for by the quality of fights that did take place. All prominent Houston area boxers fought at least once in 2020 and, as the following awards will reveal, most acquitted themselves well on the world stage.
By Dan Rafael - Middleweight world titlist Demetrius Andrade, who turned pro in 2008 after representing the United States at the Olympics that year, has had a fine career in which he has won two junior middleweight world titles and a middleweight belt. He remains undefeated and at the top of his game at age 32, having taken very little punishment thanks to...
Last month Erickson “The Hammer” Lubin (23-1) secured a second shot at a world title in the super welterweight division when he won an unanimous decision over Terrell Gausha in a Showtime main event broadcast. The final scores were 118-100, 116-112 and 115-113. The victory made him Jermell Charlo’s mandatory challenger.
By Keith Idec - Saturday night went remarkably better for the Charlo twins than the previous evening they fought on the same card. In their pay-per-view debuts, the polarizing champions were equally excellent while producing perhaps the most impressive victories of their respective careers. A few hours after Jermall Charlo convincingly conquered relentless...
Patrick Teixeira couldn’t help but feel slighted over the accusation made by his divisional peer. Jermell Charlo (34-1, 18KOs) came up big in perhaps the biggest fight of his career to date, scoring three knockdowns en route to an 8th round knockout Jeison Rosario (20-2-1, 14KOs) in their Showtime Pay-Per-View headlining junior middleweight title unification clash.
UNCASVILLE, Connecticut – Jermell Charlo wants to add the WBO junior middleweight title to his IBF, WBA and WBC 154-pound championships. Charlo just isn’t sure Patrick Teixeira will want to fight him, especially after what he did to Jeison Rosario on Saturday night. Houston’s Charlo (34-1, 18 KOs) dropped the Dominican Republic’s Rosario (20-2-1, 14 KOs) three times on his way to an eighth-round, technical-knockout win in Showtime Pay-Per-View’s main event at Mohegan Sun Arena.
