Joe Calzaghe has done very well to remain undefeated all this time and indeed he did well to go over to Las Vegas and beat Bernard Hopkins.

However there is talk of Joe Calzaghe being the great boxer ever….

Um… No!

Sorry guys but you can’t even begin to make those comparisons (read more…)

Is it just me or is this fight happening years after it should have happened?

Both of these boxers are way past their prime but Roy Jones and Felix Trinidad are set to go head to head in Las Vegas in just a couple of days.

To be honest, either Roy Jones and Felix Trinidad are half decent liars or neither of them actually know how far past their prime they are (read more…)

The legendary Corrales will be remembered for his truly epic win against super-featherweight and lightweight champion Jose Luis Castillo, who incidentally is next man to face Hatton, when the pair meet on July 23rd (read more…)

Here is a complete review of the fight, written live during the fight by the Boxing Daily Team…

Well its coming up to the fight, we are literally minutes away (read more…)

In a controversial decision, Juan Manuel Marquez claimed the WBC super featherweight title as he beat fellow Mexican Marco Antonio Barrera in Las Vegas.

I want to see a rematch…

Even though Barrera clearly knocked Marquez down in the seventh round with an awesome stinging right hand, the referee Jay Nady somehow ruled in a slip!?

No way was that a slip, it was a clear knock down and an excellent punch by Barrera.

And then the ref made me scream even louder in frustration as he took a point from Barrera for apparently hitting Marquez when he was down on the canvas. Although Barrera did throw a punch when Marquez was down, he did not connect and so he should not have be docked a point.

Also the referee did not pick up on any of the punch that Marquez threw well below Barrera’s belt! Where was the ref then?

Barrera said: “We fought like true Mexicans but I did the necessary things to win. They were bad judges. I won the fight and I don’t know what happened.”
He added, referring to his point deduction, “I never connected with the punch because I knew he was down. He hit me four times below the belt and I never said anything.”

By the end of the fight they both were bleeding quite badly, Marquez from the right eye and Barrera from the left. It was a great fight as both boxers gave it their full effort, but I would have thought that Barrera should have won.

Marquez is an ex-WBA and IBF featherweight champion and at least he admitted that they should meet again to settle the rivalry more conclusively.

“Barrera is a great champion,” he said. “He deserves a rematch.”

I really think that their should definitely be a rematch, as I think Barrera won that fight.
I would love to see these two fight again, but hopefully we can have a fairer decision at the end of the next fight.

What did you think of the fight?

Are you looking forward to a rematch?

It was a really great fight overall, and that should not be over shadowed by a few bad decisions by the ref. Both boxers gave it their all and both deserve a great deal of credit and respect for that.
