Fourth Round KO for Broner
Adrien Broner (23-0,19KO's)took care of business against Eloy Perez (23-1-2,7KO's). Broner totally dominated Perez although Perez was game, he just didn't have enough of anything to compete with the well rounded Broner. Too much everything. The speed advantage was evident from the start after Broner rapped his way to the ring and looked like it warmed him up to put on a spectacular performance. In 4 rounds of fighting, Broner put on a perfect performance of pugilistic spectacle for
Adrien Broner Chokes Eloy Perez at Weigh-In
Adrien Broner, 22-0,18KO's) has made this fight a must see after choking Eloy Perez(23-0-2-1,7KO's) at their stare down during the weigh-in. Broner has the ability to out talk Perez and has done a good job of upstaging the main event of Maidana vs. Alexander. Most of the talk from Perez came from his trainer and Broner made sure he "clowned" Perez and his camp. The scene looked similar to the Mayweather, Ortiz incident. In a few hours I predict we will be searching for another
Adrien Broner vs. Eloy Perez
Adrien Broner(22-0, 18 KO's) at 22 years old has taken the super featherweight division and the boxing world by
storm. Ever since turning pro in 2008, he has proven to be a great boxer and obviously destined for bigger and better days. A heVy punching, fast fighter with as much promise as any young fighter today. After defeating Jason Litzau and
Vicente Martin Rodriguez,(both KO's) he's ready for his
next challenge.(I guess you can tell I'm a fan.)

Marcos Maidana vs. Devon Alexander
This fight should very interesting. It will turn out the
way most fights do. Which ever fighter imposes his will on the othe will win the fight. Marcos Maidana (31-2,28 KO's)
will be facing Devon Alexander (22-1, 13KO's) February 25th Will Devon Alexander be able to stay disciplined
throughout the fight and box or will Maidana make him brawl
with his pressure and power?
Alexander a good boxer with good speed and a very good
jab. I think the biggest attribute he has against

Vitaly Klitschko vs Dereck Chisora
While most boxing fans think this fight will be another notch on Vitali Klitsckos belt, there is a possibility for an upset. Let's look at the stats: Vitaly Klitschko is six inches taller with a six inch reach advantage. Vitaly also has what I call "The Patience Factor." He patiently sits on the outside of his opponents reach and waits for them to impatiently make a mistake. It works for him except for the times when he's lured into "fighting." That's when

Chavez Jr. Defeats Rubio in Texas
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (44-0-1, 31 KO's) put his undefeated record on the line against Marco Antonio Rubio (53-5-1, 46 KO's) in San Antonio at the Alamodome last night for the WBC Middleweight Championship. After barely making weight Chavez fought a very physical fight against a physical opponent. This fight was pretty uneventful until the final few rounds. For most of the fight, Chavez put his head in Rubio's chest and pounded his body. Rubio stood in the pocket and fired back but

Berto vs. Ortiz II cancelled due to injury
On Monday Andre Berto (28-, 22KO's) was dealt a bad hand.
Berto tore his left bicep at the Ten Goose Gym in Van Nuys
CA. He was to face " Vicious" Victor Ortiz on Feb. 11,2012
at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV. After an MRI was taken the injury was confirmed. This is the same bicep he tore
When he stopped Carlos Quintana on April 10, 2010.
Let's hope for a speedy recovery for Berto. Not because we
want to see him back in the ring as soon as humanly
possible, but let's be real

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Marco Antonio Rubio
On February 4,2012 these two will meet in a Middleweight
Match for the WBC belt.
This fight should be very interesting. Rubio is a veteran
fighter who seems to have plenty in his tank and is a
proven, battle tested warrior. In his last 16 fights, he's
15-1. 13 by KO, TKO and his only loss was to Kelly Pavlik
who was the Middleweight Champion at the time. Rubio is not a walk in the park, a tune up fight or a stepping stone.
He's a very dangerous puncher with very good technical
Match for the WBC belt.

Berto vs. Ortiz II
Will this be a Repeat of the first fight or will it be
Revenge for Berto?
After their first fight the two fighters travelled in two
different directions. Five months after Berto lost to Ortiz in a candidate for fight of the year type of fight, he
foughtJan Zaveck for Zavecks IBF belt at the time. It was a close fight until Zavecks corner stopped the fight due to a cut.
Berto was a gracious winner and new IBF Champion. He wanted redemption. He wanted to prove he was back. In my eyes he
