After being turned back in his first title challenge against Gennady Golovkin, North Philly's Gabriel Rosado, 21-6, 13 KOs, planned to return to 154 pounds and resume his assault on the junior middleweight division, where all of his previous fights had taken place. But in boxing, things don't always play out the way you plan. With all of the major 154-pound stars tied up with other bouts, Rosado accepted a fight with middleweight J'Leon Love, 15-0, 8 KOs, for his next assignment. Rosado and Love face off Saturday night in Las Vegas as part of the big Floyd... (MORE) |

GARCIA DEFENDS TITLE AGAINST JUDAH Danny Garcia defeated Zab Judah by close unanimous decision to defend his junior welterweight titles Saturday night in Judah's hometown of Brooklyn, NY. The fight was a terrific battle with both fighters landing freely throughout the contest. Garcia dominated early, and floored Judah in round eight, but the native New Yorker staged a brilliant comeback down the stretch. Judah's late heroics gave the fight a great final act, sternly tested Garcia's mettle, and brought the scores rather close on the official cards. In the end, Garcia kept his collection of title belts (WBC, WBA, Ring Magazine) and remained undefeated at 26-0, 16 KOs. Judah, 42-8, 29 KOs, a former... (MORE) |

Going into the bout, few gave Anthony, a KO victim in his last start, much of a chance against the seasoned Dhafir, but the Kennett Square scrapper came to fight and brought a ballroom full of fans along with him. After the 10 rounds were over, some ringsiders wondered if he had also brought the judges with him as well. Caputo Smith won the verdict on two of the three official cards, while one judge scored the fight a draw. Therefore Caputo came away with the win and... (MORE) |
