This matchup reads like a monster flic: "The Raging Bull Meets King Kong." It won’t be a monster flic, but it may be one helluva fight. "The Raging Bull" Vic Darchinyan (32-1-1, 26 KOs) may not have one of the most original nicknames in the business. Fans of Jake LaMotta would actually be pissed.
But no one [...]

Don’t let Marcos Rene Maidana’s (25-1, 24 KOs) sparkling record fool you. I have a sneaking suspicion that he’s going to turn out like fellow Argentinian Walter Dario Matthysse (26-5, 25 KOs).

For my Boriqua friends and many others, the day will be a festive moment, landing on the eve of the Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York City. For my fellow boxing fans, it represents an annual show at Madison Square Garden, [...]

On the surface, Juan "Iron Twin" Urango (21-1-1, 16 KOs) appears to be an excellent test for the fast-rising Andre Berto (24-0, 19 KOs) in their upcoming WBC welterweight title fight. Urango has faced good competition in Mike Arnaoutis (D 12), Ricky Hatton (L 12) and Herman Ngoudjo (W 12). He has a good knockout ratio (70%).
And he’ll be fighting Berto [...]
