• What's Next for Nonito Donaire? – October 31st, 2011

  Robert Ecksel, Editor-in-Chief of Boxing.com, spoke with Rick Strom of TYT Sports about the recent fight at Madison Square Garden between bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire and Omar Narvaez. The bout and Donaire fell short of expectations, in part because Narvaez came to survive, not to win. But what makes a pound-for-pound fighter a pound-for-pound fighter? Is frustration and boredom part of the equation? And how does Donaire's performance affect his P4P ranking?

• Staredown: Andre Ward vs. Carl Froch – December 8th, 2011

  As things begin heating up for next week's Final of Showtime's Super Six Boxing Classic between WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (24-0) and WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (28-1), Showtime is pulling out all the stops before the big bout at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. This fight looks to be a classic match-up between a subtle boxer and extreme puncher, but before the two men get it on, we need to content ourselves with a classic match-up between a man of few words and a compulsive talker...

• Andre Ward vs. Carl Froch – December 18th, 2011

  Showtime's Super Six Boxing Classic is finally at an end. WBA and new WBC super middleweight champion Andre Ward, aka S.O.G., came to Atlantic City with his master boxer's arsenal intact and locked and loaded and showed Carl Froch why the game is called boxing and not knockout. Ward's speed, ring intelligence, and will to win were too much for the slugger from Nottingham, England. Froch is a good fighter, make no mistake about it. But Ward, while he may lack the ability to "shock and awe," has everything else in abundance...
