Katie Taylor vs Chantelle Cameron – my prediction
Katie Taylor will be fighting undefeated super-lightweight champion Chantelle Cameron for her home-coming in Dublin; Cameron, who has had 17 fights and is the naturally larger of the two, should have physical advantages over Taylor, namely strength, reach and youth, as she is 4 years younger than Taylor. Taylor is the more skilled and experienced […]
Boxing weight-class considerations
I wonder if the weight-classes could eventually be re-categorised into an order that functions chronologically; for instance, cruiserweight arguably should replace light-heavyweight, in fact, I think the light-heavyweight division is redundant when we have super-middleweight and cruiserweight divisions.

Canelo Alvarez is set to face John Ryder
The Story so far Canelo’s latest opponent is the elusive southpaw: John Ryder. Ryder’s most notable victory is arguably his split decision win over Daniel Jacobs, which was a rather lack-lustre affair on Daniel Jacob’s part whose performance was more lethargic than what he usually delivers. Personally, I expected Jacobs’ power punching to be more […]
