Well many people (including most of the team here!) thought that the fight between old timers Roy Jones and Felix Trinidad would be a lame fight with both boxers simply getting into the ring for a bit more cash.

However it was a fairly good fight, much better than we had expected, with Roy Jones Jr. (52-4, 38 KOs) winning a unanimous 12-round decision over Felix “Tito” Trinidad (42-3, 35 KOs) at New York’s Madison Square Gardens.

As as British boxing fans, The Boxing Daily Team was bitterly disappointed that Hatton did not manage to beat Mayweather but at the same time we are all extremely please that a Hatton got himself in a position to challenge the best pound for pound fighter in the world. Seeing Ricky Hatton rise up through the professional boxing ranks has been great, especially as he has really taken the big fights and won them (with the exception of Mayweather). It makes a change from Joe Calzaghe slapping bums around (read more…)

Enzo Maccarinelli is still the WBO Cruiserweight champion after he retained his title with ease by a stoppage in round one against American Bobby Gunn.

This was another case of a quality British boxer beating an overrated American fighter!

Maccarinelli looked absolutely awesome in the ring and in my opinion he was the best boxer of the night, he performed better than Khan and Calzaghe on Saturday night.

This was Maccarinelli’s second defence of the title that he won by beating Marcelo Dominguez in July (read more…)

Watch interviews with Joe Calzaghe and Peter Manfredo before they fight on Saturday night.
