Virgil Hunter's latest protege, Anthony Garnica, has the credentials and team behind him to take some significant steps in his career. Now it’s time for Garnica to sink or swim. My @ringmagazine story on the bantamweight prospect, who returns tonight. ringmagazine.com/news/garnica-h…

The pure definition of a one-hitter quitter.

I caught up with @nakisa_bidarian ahead of @MostVpromotions debut event in MMA. Bidarian explained how their strategy to go all-in on women's boxing is rooted in Saturday's headliner, Ronda Rousey. MVP now has 50 female boxers, 17 of whom are champions. ringmagazine.com/news/mvps-visi…

@kotickets $4.50 for a Diet Dr. Pepper — in this economy?!?!

Lost a great main event…, but making the best of it. #boxing ATL

I caught up with Jaime Munguia. He told me he hopes to face Hamzah Sheeraz in a potential super middleweight title unification fight on the Canelo-Mbilli "Mexico vs. The World" card on September 12. Details here 👇 Story: ringmagazine.com/news/munguia-e… Video: youtube.com/watch?v=CY1KOr…

Floyd Mayweather addressed two pressing topics during a Thursday press conference — the on-again, off-again fight against Manny Pacquiao and a recent run of unfavorable headlines suggesting he’s in financial trouble. My story covers all of the details. ringmagazine.com/news/2BTL7IJXU…

I caught up with UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev, and he said he wants to fight Conor McGregor in Zuffa Boxing. ringmagazine.com/news/khamzat-c…

I talked to Junto Nakatani's coach, Rudy Hernandez, who told me he failed Junto in the corner by not instructing him to dial up the pressure much sooner in the loss against Naoya Inoue. “Inoue rematch would be Round 13 and bigger than the Bam fight." ringmagazine.com/news/nakatanis…

I talked to Robert Garcia, who told me they're all in on the Inoue fight and that Jesse Rodriguez will prove once again he's the "Legend Slayer." @GarciaBoxing also laid out what the road will look like for Bam with fights in the foreseeable future. ringmagazine.com/news/legend-sl…

#MayweatherPacquiao2 is no longer taking place at Sphere in Las Vegas on September 19.

I talked to Top Rank bosses Bob Arum and Todd duBoef about #InoueNakatani. Both agreed that Naoya Inoue should stay put at 122 pounds for the foreseeable future. ringmagazine.com/news/top-rank-…

Seeing quite a few "reports" out there that Gilberto Ramirez suffered a serious eye injury during last night's knockout loss against David Benavidez. I checked in with Zurdo's manager David Suh, who told me Ramirez didn't break anything and was discharged from the hospital.

I scored #InoueNakatani the same way, 116-112. Inoue came through clutch in the championship rounds in 11 and 12, leaving no doubt about the win.

Too many #InoueNakatani stories to share. If you're interested in 1-on-1s with: Junto Nakatani Rudy Hernandez Nonito Donaire Ramon Cardenas Sebastian Hernandez Moloney Twins Bob Arum Robert Garcia ...breaking down the superfight, go to my author page. ringmagazine.com/news/authors/m…

Sebastian Hernandez gave Junto Nakatani hell for 12 rounds last time out and has sparred Naoya Inoue, so it was a must to check in with the rugged Mexican contender before #InoueNakatani. "I think it will go to a decision – either guy can win." ringmagazine.com/news/recent-na…

.@SampsonBoxing tells me junior middleweight contender Isaac Lucero is a star in the making for Mexico, and his breakthrough is imminent. Lucero's next opportunity to prove his potential arrives Saturday on the #BenavidezZurdo show in Las Vegas. ringmagazine.com/news/isaac-luc…

American boxing’s pipeline gets replenished tonight when Team USA standout prospect and five-time national champion “Razor” Ramon Ordonez turns pro. My profile on the 5-foot-11 featherweight and potential future face for Puerto Rican boxing. ringmagazine.com/news/ramon-ord…

Jaime Munguia told me he's open to a rematch against former rival-turned-teammate Canelo Alvarez. ringmagazine.com/news/jaime-mun… While Armando Resendiz, the WBA champ he's challenging, told me a win Saturday would position him vs. Canelo for Cinco De Mayo 2027. ringmagazine.com/news/resendiz-…

Is David Benavidez biting off more than he can chew by stepping up 25 pounds to challenge Zurdo Ramirez with intent to go back down? Is the fight targeting the wrong opponent at the wrong time, a la Canelo-Bivol? These are the questions I asked Zurdo. ringmagazine.com/news/a-natural…
