Bahrain was sched­uled to host the season-opening grand prix in March, how­ever, polit­i­cal unrest within the coun­try meant it was cancelled.

Rankings: Heavyweight Isn’t Deadweight

If there was one magic for­mula that would cure what­ever ails box­ing, it would be for the best fight­ers in the world to com­pete reg­u­larly in mean­ing­ful bouts on net­work tele­vi­sion.

And while it’s prob­a­bly not fair to refer to the cur­rent state of the heavy­weights as thriv­ing, it’s also prob­a­bly not as bad as you might think. For the first time since the Yahoo!

Travis Browne — Respect Your Elders

“As soon as they told me who I was fight­ing I got excited because I knew that it would be a great fight and a war.  It’s some­thing that the fans will get a kick out of.” — Travis Browne In the crowded world of heavy­weights that we have all seen mounds of tape on, fight­ers like Travis Browne are refresh­ing.  Sport­ing an unde­feated record of 10–0–1, with just two of those bouts com­ing in the Octa­gon, he is both mys­te­ri­ous and a fighter we can be expected to crave more from in the cage.  It’s just part of the pro­gres­sion for the Hawai­ian, who grew up...
