An aged fighter overcomes the odds and defeats a young, prime boxer. How many times have we seen this scenario with “The Executioner” Bernard Hopkins? From Felix Trinidad in 2001, through Kelly Pavlik in 2008, B-Hop has made many a boxing and armchair critic look foolish in the way he’s dismantled young fighters. There has been […]

(The Grio.com) These days when Michael Vick sits down to talk about his life over the past few years, he’s looking back at a series of extremes — from star quarterback, to reviled dogfighter, to comeback kid — and now, mentor. That last role is brand new for him. By his own admission, Vick had […]

Who doesn’t want to be a superstar? It’s a dream that’s in every boxer’s mind, a plateau that most will never get close to. 24 year old Amir Khan is one of the select few who may just get there. Trained by Freddie Roach, a champion in a loaded division, and a fighter who can call Manny […]

The clock is ticking on Andre Berto. It may seem strange to say that about an athlete just entering his physical and mental prime at 27 years old.

We also know that BlackBerry Torch is new on the market. But the only place you’ll see the two collide is with […]

Argentina-born Sergio Martinez has big shoes to fill. He’s a newly crowned middleweight champ from a country that’s produced one the division’s greatest in Carlos Monzon. In his first title defense, Martinez is looking to build a similarly strong legacy by facing the much-avoided Paul Williams. The bout is rematch of their 2009 Fight of the […]
