  • Boxing: Billy Joe Saunders cruises to a unanimous decision over David Lemieux by displaying impeccable boxing skills

    Billy joe Saunders defends his WBO World middleweight title in fashion by dominating David Lemieux over the course of 12 rounds. The fight started off as competitive as fighters took some time to ‘feel’ each other out. However, as early as the second round it started to appear that the jab of Saunders was giving Lemieux trouble.

    As the fight wore on, Lemieux was finding it increasingly difficult to catch the ever illusive head of Saunders. Lemieux marching forward hitting thin air was generally the theme throughout the fight and the bout concluded with a decisive victory in favor of Saunders.

    Lemieux goes on to reconsider his future in the sport of boxing whilst Saunders looks to unify the division with some possible matchups for the future. Who’s next for Saunders? GGG? Canelo or Jacobs?

  • Boxing: Vasyl Lomachenko retains his world super-featherweight title

    Vasyl Lomachenko retains his WBO Super-featherweight world title after battling for six hard rounds. His adversary, Guillermo Rigondeaux refused to get up from his stool after the sixth round prompting the referee, Steve Willis to stop the fight.

    The highly anticipated bout, which took place at the Madison Square Gardens in Las Vegas, marked a key milestone in featherweight boxing. Arguably the two best fighters of the lower divisions went to head to head to the better fighter was. Rigondeaux, who went up in weight to take on Lomachenko claimed he had injured his left hand and could not continue on the fight. Much speculation has been given to the authenticity of the claim and many fans argue that Rigondeaux could not cope with the frantic movement and agility of his rival and decided to quit. The true reason for a fight is to stay at the end of the fight, but there is no doubt that it will remain the center of discussion for many years to come.

    Lomachenko goes on to be recognized as the best p4p fighter in the world and one of the best fighters of our generation. Rigondeaux on the other hand may need to consider hanging up the gloves. At 37 years of age, it really begs the question, how much more does it have to offer in this brutal sport?
