-The Best Idea for the Super Six is to Skip the Third Stage and Start the Semifinals-
There can be little question that Mikkel Kessler has withdrawn from the Super Six Boxing Tournament due to legitimate health concerns. No one would ever accuse “The Viking Warrior” of ducking an opponent, and he was heavily favored to win his upcoming bout with Allan Green and secure a semi-finals slot in the tournament. With his departure, the question on the lips of boxing fans everywhere is “what now?”
Hot Golden Boy prospect Saul Alvarez is back in action on the undercard of the Shane Mosley vs. Sergio Mora bout. Alvarez takes on former welterweight champion Carlos Baldomir, a tough, pressuring opponent, who should provide some resistance for the young budding star and see what he’s made of. The two hosted a conference call to discuss the pending battle. Here’s the transcript…
CALIFORNIA’S KALIESHA WEST TO BATTLE ANGEL GLADNEY FOR BANTAMWEIGHT CROWN ON SEPTEMBER 18 AT STAPLES CENTER
Widely considered to be one of female boxing’s best pound for pound fighters, Moreno Valley, California’s Kaliesha West will return home to fight in Southern California on Saturday, September 18 to face South Carolina’s Angel Gladney for the vacant WBO Bantamweight World Title on the off-television portion of the “200: Celebrate and Dominate” Mosley vs. Mora undercard at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles.
It all started when David Haye walked away from putting a Klitschko fight together in favor of challenging WBA belt-holder Nikolai Valuev instead. When a second round of negotiations with the Klitschkos fell through, many commentators accused Haye of cowardice and claimed the Briton was running scared. Wladimir Klitschko himself is on the record as stating that he believes Haye won’t fight him because Haye is “afraid.” Now Haye has hit back at allegations that he is “yellow.”
-As Vitali Klitschko prepares for his WBC defense against challenger Shannon Briggs, are fans getting what they deserve and what do we have to look forward to in boxing’s flagship division?-
Things could have been so good for heavyweight boxing. In the form of the imposing, stern, chillingly impassive Klitschko brothers, the division was supplied with the perfect bad guys. ‘Dr Ironfist’ (Vitali) and ‘Dr Steelhammer’ (Wladimir) naturally fit the eastern European stereotype in terms of personality and physical specimens; they resemble Ivan Drago from Rocky. But where’s Rocky?

-Prince vs. Pacman in a Featherweight Fantasy Fight-
From the day he captured the WBO Featherweight Crown in 1996 until his early 2002 retirement, Naseem Hamed effectively was the featherweight division. His brash style and bone-crunching power made him the division’s star, and when Hamed crossed over the Atlantic from his British base to begin fighting on HBO, he became the big money fight for anyone toiling away at 122 or 126 lbs.
