Photo Credit: Will Hart By Kieran Mulvaney By boxing standards – by the standards of most athletes - Juan Manuel Marquez is old. Not yet 41, it is entirely possible that he has lived less than half his life, but it is safe to say that he has far, far fewer days remaining as a professional boxer than he has experienced so far. (By the time he clambers into the ring to face off against Mike Alvarado...

Photo Credit: Will Hart By Kieran Mulvaney You're Mike Alvarado, and you're a professional prizefighter. You are nearly unreachably far back on the scorecards against Breidis Prescott, surrendering the first five rounds, your right eye swelling shut, your left eye cut, your lip split. Only you mount a furious rally and, when all hope seems lost, drop your opponent twice and stop him in the final round...

By CompuBox The "Fabulous Forum" in Inglewood, California reopens its doors to boxing following a long hiatus Saturday when a card headlined by Juan Manuel Marquez and Mike Alvarado is staged there. For the 40-year-old Marquez it is a homecoming because he fought there 12 times between January 1995 and May 1999, going 12-0 with nine knockouts. For Alvarado, it is his maiden voyage and he will perform...

On the surface, there are justifiable reasons for the lack of buzz surrounding this Saturday’s WBO welterweight eliminator between Juan Manuel “Dinamita” Marquez and Mike “Mile High” Alvarado. For one thing, Marquez is three months shy of his 41st birthday, and his most recent outing against Timothy Bradley was lacklustre, to say the least. On […] The post Cross...

Photo Credit: Will Hart By Eric Raskin There's precious little that Juan Manuel Marquez hasn't seen or experienced over the course of his remarkable 21 years and 63 fights as a professional boxer. But even by his high standards of having been there and done that, Marquez's showdown on May 17 against Mike Alvarado is loaded with an inordinate amount of déjà vu. From the location, to the style of the...

Ware” Stiverne stopped Chris “The Nightmare” Arreola in the sixth round to capture the WBC heavyweight championship, which had been vacated by Vitali Klitschko. Stiverne now shares the division’s peak with the other Klitschko, Wladimir, despite occupying less real estate, as “B.Ware” possesses one title […] The post Bermane Stiverne...

**** A few years ago, Arreola, a colorful pug with a solid left hook, had some serious buzz surrounding him. A Mexican-American heavyweight champion: Was it possible?

With the rancidness of Klitschko-Leapai still lingering, cable-watching sportsfans will get another whiff of heavyweight fisticuffs — hopefully far less foul — when ESPN broadcasts the battle for the WBO championship this Saturday.
