Currently doing the rounds to promote his September 14 fight with Edgar Berlanga, Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez was a guest on the Sways Universe podcast yesterday, and the reigning super middleweight champ fielded a number of questions.
Yesterday, Canelo Alvarez spoke once again with the gathered media, this after the New York presser to further hype the trilogy fight with bitter rival Gennady Golovkin (with most of the bitterness coming from Canelo).

Interim WBA Super Middleweight Champion David O. Morrell Jr. (4-0, 3 KOs) earned a dominant knockout victory over Mike Gavronski (26-4-1, 16 KOs) in three rounds Saturday night in the main event of FOX PBC Fight Night and on FOX Deportes from the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles.
If you haven’t seen Kosei Tanaka, 15-0(9) fight, you sure are missing something. The Japanese star has an all-action style, he has given us at least two absolute classics (his wars with Sho Kimura and Ryoichi Taguchi) and on New Year’s Eve we may get the best action fight of 2020.

It was a pretty busy weekend of boxing just past, and lost in the shuffle was the ongoing comeback of Texan terror James Kirkland.
Once a “sure thing” for winning a world title, lethal yet vulnerable (around the chin) 154 pounder James Kirkland fell short of ruling the world – in quite spectacular car crash type fashion.
