A little over 2 weeks ago, the sport of professional boxing received quite a lot of attention in the sports world. The problem was that it was negative attention stemming from the bout between Timothy Bradley Jr. and Manny Pacquiao, in which Timothy Bradley Jr. was somehow chosen as the winner of the fight. Boxing has seen better days and this controversial decision, along with the fact that there hasn’t be ...

Growing up, boxing was absolutely awesome. I grew up watching Heavyweights like Roy Jones Jr., Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Chris Byrd, and James Toney; along with lower division beasts like Bernard Hopkins, Shane Mosely, Antonio Tarver, Floyd Mayweather Jr., and Manny Pacquiao. But as I grew older boxing changed. The Heavyweight division was controlled by two huge boring uneventful Ukrainian brothers, and eve ...

UFC on Fox 2 takes place this Saturday at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. Light Heavyweights Rashad Evans and Phil Davis headline this free card, with title implications at stake. Evans is a former champion in this division, and Phil Davis is an undefeated prospect that has a great shot at one-day wearing UFC gold. If the main event was not good enough, Middleweights Chael Sonnen and Michael Bisping ...

The main event ended with Rashad Evans landing a ridiculous knee to Tito Ortiz’s chest, and then following up that powerful knee with a flurry of pushes before the ref was forced to end the bout. Tito’s Cinderella-story comeback did not end how he had hoped, but it is hard to criticize a guy who took the fight on two and a half we ...

This Saturday, Light Heavyweights Rashad Evans and Tito Ortiz square off at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This main event will be a re-match for the two who went the distance in their 2007 bout that ended in a Draw due to Ortiz’s one point reduction for grabbing the fence.  Instead of their feud ending in that controversial draw, the two now have another opportunity to prove who is s ...

Tito Ortiz has long been known for his cocky attitude and disrespectful nature toward his opponents.  In the first decade of the UFC, few stars lived up to the caliber of Tito Ortiz, and no other star sold as many PPV draws.  Not only did Tito hype up every fight with trash talking, but also backed it up by demolishing his opponents.  Tito entered the sport of MMA before much technique and style had existed ...
