Same fighters. Different location. Same result: Paulie Malignaggi (26-3-1, 5 KOs) out-boxes Juan Diaz (35-2, 17 KOs) over 12 rounds. Who will the official decision actually go to? Your guess is as good as mine.
When I predicted Diaz-Malignaggi I, I went with my gut and was proven right by the judges. They say to always [...]

Vitali Klitschko (38-2, 37 KOs) vs Kevin Johnson (22-0-1, 9 KOs) is as legit a heavyweight title fight that you will get today.

Replacing Pavlik is the very capable Sergio Martinez (44-1-2, 24 KOs). However, I had my taste buds all set for a nice sirloin steak (Pavlik-Williams) but had to settle [...]

This is an easy one to predict. Lucian Bute (24-0, 19 KOs) is arguably the best super middleweight in the world. I say arguably because Arthur Abraham and suddenly Andre Ward, fresh off of his dismantling of Mikkel Kessler, can also make legitimate claims. Be that as it may, I do not expect Bute to [...]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Home advantage is an athletic competition phenomenon. The most-commonly cited factors of home advantage are usually ones whose advantageous effects are difficult to measure and thus even their existence is debated. Most of these are psychological in nature, such as familiarity with the playing grounds, the ability for participants to [...]
