So the acrimony between Danny and Robert continues.

To hear the Vicious Victor Ortiz camp tell it, there's only one cinch with a fight involving undefeated WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto.

Hard-hitting welterweight Thomas Dulorme (10-0 and 9 knockouts) will look to impress on Saturday, when he faces Dominican boxer Harrison Cuello on the Andre Berto-Victor Ortiz undercard at the Foxwoods Resort and Casino in Connecticut. Dulorme is considered to be one of the top prospects in the world. Last year Cuello upset former champion Stevie Forbes.

Recently I had a very deep conversation with Paulie Malignaggi about his career, specifically his return to Las Vegas on the April 9th HBO pay per view show at the MGM Grand. The great thing about Malignaggi, besides being a colorful personality, is that he is a pure fan of the sport of boxing and can talk endlessly about his fellow brethren and other key aspects of the game.

Junior welterweight Marcos Maidana quickly returned fire after reading a recent statement that was made by Victor Ortiz. In the June of 2009, Maidana stopped Ortiz in a six round war. Maidana is getting ready for a fight with Erik Morales on April 9 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Ortiz is moving up to welterweight to challenge WBC champion Andre Berto.
