By: Marc Livitz: London, England undoubtedly has more than its fair share of recognizable landmarks known the world over. Among the newer locales is the O2 arena (formerly known as the Millennium Dome) made popular in some ways before its grand opening in 2000 by Irish actor Pierce Brosnan (aka James Bond) in the opening sequences of the 1999 “007” film, “The World Is Not Enough”.

The Lowdown On… Mayweather vs. Guerrero

Fri, 03 May 2013 06:23:00 +0000

By: Mike Sloan: Cinco de Mayo weekend is always the best weekend of the year because of two things: The Kentucky Derby and the biggest boxing event of the year (depending on what the September card will be).

By Marc Livitz: Cinco de Mayo weekend is fast approaching and that usually means what it has meant in years past.

Donaire – Back To The Drawing Board

Tue, 16 Apr 2013 06:56:00 +0000

By Matthew Hurley: There was a moment early on in the super bantamweight tussle between Nonito Donaire and Guillermo Rigondeaux where Nonito’s face betrayed the worry that was beginning to plague his mind. Any excuses for his inability to catch and kill his elusive prey would have to wait until the final bell – unless he could catch lightening in a bottle.

Canelo vs. Trout – History Repeated or Rewritten?

By Marc Livitz: Can it really be nearly twenty years since Julio Cesar Chavez was awarded a gift draw in front of nearly 60,000 crazed spectators at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas?
