I know this is an MMA website but I bet that there are some Boxing Fans out there.
I just love the sport of fighting in general and I have been raised by boxing.
So in this Thread we can discuss the "Sweet Science"
such as
Past Fights
Upcoming Events
Favorite Fighters
and Historical Figures in the Sport
Because like MMA in the US, Boxing started out illegal. But where it took MMA less than 25 years to gain the General populations approval, It took boxing over 100 years.
Discuss and have fun.

I like watching footage here and there to get a better understanding of the striking game and every now and then one catches my eye and I go digging up anything and everything I can on him.
Alexis Arguello is one of them so imagine my joy when one of my favourite sports writers put this up.
I'd also advise looking up a few of his fights if you're not familiar with him, one of the most fluid strikers combat sports has even known, imo. He's also got a VERY interesting life story (sad ending though).
Also, as I said, not a boxing scholar, don't really know who's uber-famous an who isn't, so if bringing him up here is like saying "check out this Chuck Liddell guy, you're gonna like him" to an MMA fan, I apologize upfront.

Andre Dirrell makes sense to me for the bout in June. Hopefully Froch, JCC Jr., or GGG fight Ward later in the year.

So far Peter Quillin aka "Kid Chocolate" is facing Andy Lee in a middleweight contest. Quillin did miss weight before the fight and so far it is a decent with Quillin landing a knockdown in the first and third round.
Later Danny Garcia defends his title against Lamont Peterson.

I personally had it 7-5 for Kid Chocolate, but it was a hard fight to score.
Kid Chocolate got the early rounds but after Lee dropped him he did turn it around.
A draw was a fair decision in my opinion.
Hope they do fight again, and FOR a title this time.

Should be a good show.
Damn Peterson packed on 22 pounds since the weigh ins compared to 15 from Garcia.

I think Danny Garcia pulled it off, but Lamont could get a decision here. But showboating don't count as points in my book.
8-4 for Garcia imo.

Should be a great night of fights, and it will be a night of entertainment. Hopefully this opens a few doors in the future.
This is the title logo for the event that my buddy made. The reason for the ACU pattern is because my VFW post is the group that is hosting the event. Let me know what you guys think.
