Jason Pribila reflects back on the weekend that was, and who were the real winners and losers from the May 4th promotion

By John F. McKenna: Jack Dempsey roared onto the boxing scene just prior to the beginning of the 1920’s. The “Roaring Twenties” if you will. And no individual did more to put that roar into the age which brought theUnited States into its role as a world power

By: Marc Livitz: The fight of his life is just two weeks away and he wishes it could take place tomorrow. Palm Springs, California native Timothy “Desert Storm” Bradley strongly feels that the contest which is set to take place on June 9 at the MGM in Las Vegas is the opportunity of a lifetime

By Tom Gray: He speaks in a quiet and unassuming tone, frequently avoiding eye contact, as he reminisces on a spectacular twenty two year professional career which may still not have come to an end. His face belies the sacrifice of that journey and a stranger would never guess that this diminutive and innocent looking man was once a glorious gladiator, who waged war against some of the finest fighters in the world.

By Clive Bernath: It seems that I’m not the only one that believes Tim Bradley can shock the world and defeat Manny Pacquiao when the pair clash for ‘Pacman’s WBO welterweight title at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on June 9. As soon as it was announced that the undefeated Bradley was next up for arguably the world’s No.1 boxer I envisaged a possible upset.

By Mikko Salo: Pure stroke of business genius. That is what promoter Frank Warren pulled off last week. David Haye vs Dereck Chisora has everything. It gives us the biggest moneymaker of a fight that doesn`t have the names Mayweather, Pacquiao or Klitschko attached to it.

By Matthew Hurley: For a man who defeated the great Sugar Ray Robinson twice for the middleweight crown, Paul Pender is sometimes forgotten in the pantheon of exceptional 160-pound fighters. A solid, rugged boxer who rose to the top near the end of his career, Pender sadly remains in a sort of fistic limbo outside of his hometown of Brookline, Massachusetts.

By:Mike Sloan: Not many people are expecting “Sugar” Shane Mosley to walk out of the MGM Grand with his hand raised in victory on Saturday night. He’s 40 years old and has clearly seen better days.

By Derek Bonnett: It was bound to happen. I’ve been having a ball over the past year ripping the sanctioning bodies for handing seemingly unworthy boxers title fights. My Title Shots Here! Getcha’ Free Title Shot series has prompted numerous SecondsOut readers to reach out and voice their own disgust at some of the match-ups they feel are being peddled off as world championship caliber fights. But, alas, I got one wrong.

By: Alex Luces: In what may be his final performance before the curtains descend on a legendary career, Bernard Hopkins must once again motivate his mind and body for battle against a foe young enough to be his son. So is the burden carried by the oldest champion in the history of boxing.
