Martinez beats Pavlik to claim middleweight title; Bute Knocks Miranda Out in 3

Two Years of Injury, Defeat and Mismanagement: Can Kelly Pavlik Get Back on Track?
by Paul Magno Two years ago, every informed finger was pointing directly at Kelly Pavlik as a “for sure” superstar of the future and, possibly, as the face of the sport as guys like Oscar De la Hoya faded from the scene. You couldn’t ask for a better back story or more impressive rise to [...]

The Ring have told us “to expect major shake-ups” in their pound-4-pound ratings in the coming months, so I thought I’d weigh-in with my personal mythical rankings.

HBO’s Cheap Shot Makes Super 6 Pointless
by Dafs117 When the Super 6 Boxing Classic tournament was launched, it received the same amount of good karma as Manny Pacquiao gets for feeding the homeless in General Santos City.

by Paul Magno Miguel Espino (2o-3-1, 9 KOs) showed up at the Beeghly Center in Youngstown, Ohio ready to go to war. Unfortunately, he was severely outgunned by reigning WBO and WBC middleweight champ, Kelly Pavlik (36-1, 32 KOs). The fight itself was of the phone booth variety as both Pavlik and Espino traded shots [...]

by Dafs117 On Saturday, power-punching monster Edwin Valero will make his maiden defence of his WBC Lightweight belt against Hector Velazquez in front of a sell-out bumper crowd in his home nation of Venezuela, La Guaira. As ‘Dinamita’ has a ridiculous knockout ratio, we list the top 10 belt-holders in order of knockout percentage. #10 [...]
Does Pavlik Deserve Bute 2010 Shot On HBO?
by dafs117 According to industry sources, HBO is pushing for a fight between super middleweight titlist Lucian Bute and middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik in 2010. Bute knocked out Librado Andrade in the fourth round last night in Quebec City, while Pavlik is set to fight lightly-regarded Miguel Espino on December 19 on Top Rank pay-per-view. [...]
Has Kelly Pavlik Become a Laughingstock?
by Paul Magno Back when Kelly Pavlik first won the Middleweight title against Jermain Taylor, any sane fan would pretty much have to force himself not to like “The Ghost.” How could you dislike a power-punching, blue-collar champion whose very presence on the world stage seemed to fly in the face of every modern boxing [...]
