Ryan Garcia scores 3 knockdowns in wild upset of Devin Haney

Ryan Garcia’s fitness to fight was questioned in the lead-up to his fight with Devin Haney, a turbulent promotion that was highlighted by Garcia’s erratic comments. Garcia (25-1, 20 KOs) was a major underdog and virtually counted out entering Saturday evening. His blinding, powerful left hook turned the tide as Garcia scored three knockdowns to pull the upset via majority decision at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. One judge scored the fight 112-112 but was overruled by scores of 114-110 and 115-109 for Garcia. However, Garcia wasn’t eligible to win Haney’s WBC junior welterweight title after he weighed 143.2 pounds Friday for the […]

Jorge Masvidal: ‘I’m definitely coming back to the UFC”

Jorge Masvidal may be getting ready to lace up the boxing gloves for his upcoming fight with Nate Diaz on June 1, but he has made it clear that his career as a mixed martial artist is far from done. The former BMF champion and welterweight title contender says he will “definitely” be returning to the promotion that made him a superstar. “I’m definitely coming back to the UFC and get a W for my city, for my family, my kids and everybody that believes in me,” Masvidal said during a recent stop in Miami following “The Baddest Tour” for his fight against […]

Fury warns he could beat Usyk after ’15 pints’ as fight looms

Tyson Fury stated he could defeat Oleksandr Usyk with no training and after “sinking 15 pints of Peroni” the night before in a news conference on Wednesday ahead of their title fight next month. WBC champion Fury and Usyk, who holds the IBF, WBA and WBO straps, will fight for the undisputed heavyweight championship on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. While Fury praised Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) as a great champion at cruiserweight level, he said the step up will prove too much when they clash in just over a month’s time. “I think if I didn’t train at […]

‘Pitbull’ Cruz stops ‘Rolly’ Romero; Lara and Martinez shine in wins

Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz set the tone early Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena, with wild overhand rights that whistled by the head of Rolando “Rolly” Romero. Then Cruz put on a masterclass in stalking and cutting off the ring versus Romero. Finally, Cruz completed his beatdown of Romero with at least six straight shots to the head, forcing referee Tom Taylor to stop the fight at 56 seconds of the eighth round. With the victory, Cruz took Romero’s WBA junior welterweight world title on the co-main event of a card headlined by a junior middleweight title fight between Tim Tszyu and […]

Canelo fighting Munguia

The latest winner of the Canelo Alvarez sweepstakes is Jaime Munguia, who beat out Jermall Charlo and Edgar Berlanga to land a May 4 fight in Las Vegas versus boxing’s top star. With that fight comes a chance at boxing championship glory, and of course, the biggest payday of Munguia’s career. Munguia (43-0, 34 KOs) enters the undisputed super middleweight championship fight on the heels of a career-best performance, a ninth-round TKO victory over John Ryder in January. Munguia has improved greatly under the guidance of Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach. And now he’ll meet his countryman on Cinco de Mayo weekend. Canelo-Munguia […]

Joshua takes out Ngannou with crushing KO finish in Round 2

Anthony Joshua scored a spectacular knockout of Francis Ngannou in Round 2 of their heavyweight fight Friday night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, a right hand that landed clean on the former UFC heavyweight champion’s chin and rendered him unconscious. After Ngannou regained his senses, ringside officials administered oxygen to the 37-year-old, who was boxing for just the second time. England’s Joshua, 34, scored a knockdown in the opening round with a right hand, and Ngannou appeared to be unsteady after he beat the count. Joshua produced another knockdown in Round 2, an equilibrium shot that connected on Ngannou’s left ear. […]

Ray Ford stops Otabek Kholmatov in 12th to win vacant title

In a thrilling finish, Ray Ford stopped Otabek Kholmatov with seven seconds left to capture the vacant WBA featherweight title Saturday evening in Verona, New York. Ford trailed 106-103 on two scorecards and was up 105-104 on the other heading into the final round when he landed the punch that ultimately got him the fight. A right hook with 30 seconds left in the ESPN main event stunned Kholmatov before a series of shots sent him reeling. Another right hand rocked Kholmatov along the ropes, and as he turned his back on unsteady legs, referee Charlie Fitch halted the contest […]

David Benavidez: ‘I’m not going to be waiting on Canelo’

David Benavidez sat on the ring apron at the downtown BOXR Gym and wrapped his hands — just because the Canelo Alvarez fight he has pushed so hard to land seems farther away than ever, it doesn’t mean the work stops. Alvarez has long stated Benavidez (and other fighters) must earn a shot at boxing’s top star, and there’s no doubt following his breakthrough campaign last year that Benavidez did exactly that. He brutalized Caleb Plant in a March decision victory and followed with a sixth-round TKO triumph over Demetrius Andrade in November. The calls for an Alvarez-Benavidez matchup for […]
