Vitali Klitschko - Can Anyone Beat Him?
By James Slater, EastSideBoxing.com
Even though he is 38, it seems, amazingly, as though WBC heavyweight king Vitali Klitschko is getting even better. "Dr. Iron Fist's" defensive skills, his clever and astonishingly agile use of his legs, combined with his overall reflexes were quite stunning to see last night as he dominated a brave Chris Arreola on the way to a 10th-round retirement win.

Poonsawat's win not shocking at all
Boxing News World
Several boxing writers are calling the victory of Thai Poonsawat over Bernard Dunne a shocking upset. To me, no disrespect to Dunne who is an excellent boxer in his own right, Poonsawat’s win wasn’t surprising at all. Those who have watched Poonsawat previous fights can attest that this kid is good. In fact, The Ring ranked Poonsawat 3rd, two places higher than Dunne. EastSideBoxing.com and BoxRec.com also placed the Thai slugger ahead of the Irishman. The thing is Asian boxers do not have lots of opportunity to fight in a big stage compared to fighters from the Americas, Mexico or Europe. So people outside their countries don’t get the chance to watch them fight. They remain relatively unknown and as a result they are usually tagged as underdogs in big or title fights. But in reality, these fighters are good if not better than most of the fighters in their class.
The Poonsawat-Dunne fight is now available on YouTube.

How Manny Pacquiao beats Miguel Cotto…strict gameplan
By Gareth Davies, Telegraph, co.uk
Freddie Roach is concocting a strict gameplan for Manny Pacquiao to follow against Miguel Cotto, the Puerto Rican whom the Filipino faces in an American ring in Las Vegas in 6 and a half weeks’ time.
Ten days into training camp in the Shape Up Gym in Baguio City, in The Philippines, a departure from his previous dozen camps, there are positive noises emerging. That said, Roach is concerned by local distractions, while in the same breath remains amazed once again by Pacquiao’s conditioning and appetite for training. READ MORE

Floyd Mayweather Jr: Superstar!
By Julius Stecker, boxing24.com
I have been accused of many things. Floyd Mayweather fans have called me a ‘Hater’ and they have called me a biased Pacquiao fan. But one thing is for sure now, after Mayweather-Marquez did 1 million PPV buys. Floyd Mayweather is a superstar. Love him or hate him. He is a money maker. Now the question you have to ask is. Where can Floyd make the most money in the future? He really only has 2 options. Is it with Manny Pacquiao, or Sugar Shane Mosley? Or maybe both? Let’s take a look. READ MORE
