Edison Miranda made boxing news last night after knocking out David Banks in the beginning of the third round.

I attached the video that features... Read More with Video

There was a major motion picture that capitalized on that sensation, and a recent top women's figure in boxing even starred in a very popular television dance show. Boxing is trying to recreate itself, but I don't think that... Read More
I think that maybe their are other people out there that are getting tired of the boxing news, tired of waiting for the make-over that needs to happen, the make-over that will bring the boxing news back into the limelight. Boxing is a very competitive and energetic sport, but somewhere in its roots, their exists a negative aura that just won't let go, and it's an aura that... Read More

By chance, a few days ago I happen to tune into a televised match between two women boxers. I must admit I have rarely caught the boxing action between female contenders and so it was very interesting to watch.

I think he beat most of his opponents psychologically before he even met them face to... Read More
