12 Rounds With ... Paulie Malignaggi
Paulie Malignaggi is a former two-division world champion and one of the most respected ringside analysts in boxing today. Not bad for a onetime “knucklehead” who was kicked out of high school.
12 Rounds With ... Josesito Lopez
Josesito Lopez loves to box about as much as he loves to breathe, so the fact he’s been out of the ring for nearly 21 months has been maddening. Making the long layoff even more intolerable is the way Lopez’s last fight ended.
12 Rounds With ... Abner Mares
When fight fans hear the name Abner Mares, they probably (and understandably) think fearless brawler. But you don’t win three world titles—and put yourself in position to win a fourth—without knowing a thing or two about the finer points of boxing.
12 Rounds With ... Jermall Charlo
Some fighters are natural self-promoters who have never met a microphone they didn’t like, while others are more comfortable letting their fists do their talking. Muhammad Ali was a first-ballot Hall of Famer of the former group. Jermall Charlo falls into the latter.
12 Rounds with ... Julian Williams
Some professional boxers get by on their raw, God-given talent, while others must master the various technical aspects of the game to get to the top. Then there’s the rare fighter who has it all—the complete package, as it were. Julian Williams is such a fighter.
12 Rounds With … Adonis Stevenson
With 23 knockouts in 29 career fights, Adonis Stevenson is undoubtedly one of boxing’s most feared punchers. But the longtime 175-pound world champion is so much more than just a seek-and-destroy knockout artist.
12 Rounds With … Danny Garcia
Danny Garcia might not be the most polarizing boxer of the 21st century, but he certainly ranks near the top. For whatever reason, fans have very definitive opinions of the undefeated, two-division world champion: Simply put, they either love him or loathe him.
12 Rounds With … Erickson Lubin
Think back to what you were doing as a 21-year-old. Odds are, whatever it was, you weren’t demonstrating the same kind of maturity—let alone discipline—as rapidly rising 154-pound contender Erickson Lubin.
