HOW THE EXPERTS SEE IT
Andre Ward and Sergey Kovalev accomplished very little on November 19 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Ward emerging with a highly controversial unanimous decision that raised more questions than it answered.
They meet again on Saturday at Mandalay Bay Events Center in the same town, where each will try to separate himself from the other.
Who wins this time? The experts lean toward Ward. Twenty-one RING experts and other boxing insiders made predictions here, 14 opting for

It’s happening. It’s really happening.
What was originally deemed as inconceivable has become believable. Only in the age of social media could something so unusual be spoken into existence. But we are here and now Floyd Mayweather Jr. will put his 49-0 record on the line against Conor McGregor on Aug. 26 in Las Vegas.
Oh, in case you haven’t heard, Conor McGregor has never had a professional boxing match. Yes, he’s the current UFC lightweight champion and the former UFC

Maybe the most interesting portion of Jim Lampley’s sit down with 175-pound ace Sergey Kovalev on Wednesday night’s new episode The Fight Game was the portion which touches on the fighter-trainer dynamic.
Kovalev has for most of his career been tutored by ex-154-pound standout John David Jackson. Of late, chatter hangs over the head of that relationship. In fact, getting wind of supposed ill will between coach and student, Team Ward not long ago asked if JDJ might like to jump ship a

Friday, June 9: Another sun-soaked day was granted to Syracuse and I spent much of the morning hours grinding away on the laptop. Over the years, I’ve discovered I do my best writing in the first part of the day because that’s when I’m the most alert. I also don’t begrudge the hours I spend at the keyboard because (1) it’s my job; (2) I love my job and (3) it’s a good way to stay engaged during the long hours before a

The “fight” between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and UFC star Conor McGregor is set for August 26 in Las Vegas, it was announced today.
