Attempting to explain the merit of boxing to the unenlightened, regardless of how well conveyed, rarely bears fruit. The occasional success depends heavily on…
Whether you love or hate Floyd Mayweather there is only one truth in our relationship with the world's best pound for pound boxer. We…
You’re missing the point. Bradley did get his faced smashed in and yes, the fight probably should have been stopped in the second round – but these just further demonstrate my argument. This isn’t about Bradley being the best fighter in the world, it’s about whether or not Bradley is the scared fighter he was in the Pacquiao fight.
Bradley was crucified for not having the balls to fight Pacquiao toe-to-toe. To make up for it he needed to do more than just win, he needed show that he wasn’t scared.
He took some massive blows in the Provodnikov fight and did not back down one bit.

I too prefer watching boxers who stick to business and don’t spend half of their time talking rubbish but this is more about Robert Guerrero taking away Mayweather’s mental edge going in to their next fight. Guerrero can’t afford to let Mayweather’s talk get to him and I fear that if he doesn’t think about how he’s going to achieve that it, it will end badly.
Guerrero's missed opportunity
What a great read!
I’ve been to a few fight nights at the Pavilions and I think you’ve really captured the vibe.
Beyond the fighting there are still so many interesting elements to boxing. Attending an event can be fascinating.
There’s some great people watching to be done on these nights.
I think the next one is in may. I’ll make sure not to miss it.
