http://youtube.com/watch?v=OfWcrjFg3cY?list=UUSAKHhhVMjKZxApVg5nfuYw Happy New Year, everybody — boxing is back. But before we get ahead of ourselves, why not check out Gorilla Productions’ retrospective of 2013. It really was an amazing year. Some of the fights that hold the most promise this week are actually still in 2013. I think the Japanese have mixed up New […]

2013 Boxing Awards Pu Pu Platter, Part II

Sick of the drip-drip-drip of year end boxing awards yet? Hard to blame you, hard to blame you. So we'll bring out two enormous platters to conclude our 2013 awards. In the first installment, that flavor was heavy and serious. In the second one, that flavor is light and fluffy. Just add "of the year" […]

(Miguel Cotto revels in his hard fought win over Ricardo Torres; photo credit: AP) When Bernard Hopkins effectively ended Felix Trinidad’s run as a world class fighter with an emphatic stoppage in 2001, a sort of vacuum of power was created in Puerto Rican boxing. Era after era, Puerto Rico essentially overachieved in the sport […]

2013 Boxing Fighter Of The Year: Timothy Bradley

Tim Bradley started 2013 as a pariah. He emerges from it triumphant. The Queensberry Rules’ Fighter of the Year beat out Floyd Mayweather for the honour, the biggest attraction and best boxer in the sport, and a tier of men who made their names in 2013: Danny Garcia, Guillermo Rigondeaux and Adonis Stevenson. And he did […]

2013 Boxing Fight Of The Year: Timothy Bradley Vs. Ruslan Provodnikov

(Timothy Bradley, left, Ruslan Provodnikov, right) The defining trait of Timothy Bradley vs. Ruslan Provodnikov, both before and during, was how little sense it made.  Choosing an opponent from the ranks of ESPN's Friday Night Fights for Bradley's comeback on HBO after a long layoff? Nonsense. Expecting a competitive fight out of it that fans […]

2013 Fighter Of The Year Nominees

Taking the inimitable pay-per-view record-breaker Floyd Mayweather out of the equation, 2013 was arguably nothing to write home about when measured in terms of outright star power.

2013 Boxing Knockout Of The Year: Adonis Stevenson – Chad Dawson

(Chad Dawson attempts to rise from being flattened by Adonis Stevenson; photo credit: Graham Hughes/AP) Chad Dawson’s technical decision loss to Jean Pascal in 2010 signaled the end of his tenure as an undefeated fighter. It wasn’t a big deal, though; losses do and should happen in boxing, even if the sport has evolved to […]

TQBR Radio 12/17: Marcos Maidana Vs. Adrien Broner Recap

(Via Facebook user Dobie Gillis) It was not a dream. Marcos Maidana really did slap the waves off of Adrien Broner’s head. And those were indeed the droids you were looking for. On Sunday morning, the world woke up to a reality in which Marcos Maidana, just the night before, had probably done enough to […]
