IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin’s trainer Abel Sanchez recently called out Andre Ward, accusing him of being a liar and using GGG’s name to stay relevant in the sport. Ward has stated that GGG’s promoter turned down a fight offer for Ward to go up against Golovkin. However, Golovkin’s trainer says that’s absolutely false and that Ward never even mentioned Golovkin or fighting him until after GGG had signed a contract to fight IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux on Oct. 17.

With Floyd Mayweather gone there certainly is a void left in his place. Mayweather, for better or worst, was basically the face of boxing. Yes, there are fighters like Manny Pacquiao, but you can’t argue with the numbers Mayweather brought in throughout his career and the the fact that he was someone who people just simply talked about. He was polarizing, in his bad and good moments. So, who can take up that spot now that he’s retired? According to Bernard Hopkins, the man for the job is former WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez.

This just might be one of the loudest and most brutal head kicks we’ve ever seen. It’d be hard to name it the most brutal, but man, it’s up there for sure.

There are occurrences that take place in the world of mixed martial arts that fans are thankful have never taken place inside the world-famous octagon. Nothing would be more mortifying for the glory of the sport than watching a grown man or woman poop their pants and have it fall over the mat in the cage on FS1.

Floyd Mayweather is less than one full month retired and he is already living the life! “Money” appeared in the boxing ring for the final time against Andre Berto in September on Showtime pay-per-view and while the buy-rate numbers were underwhelming, Mayweather’s performance was not. He masterfully danced around Berto and kept him guessing which angles he would be attacking from before ultimately picking up another unanimous decision victory. How else would the undisputed king of boxing celebrate his retirement than to hit up Justin Bieber and go to Bora Bora! Check out Mayweather doggy paddling in the STRONG ocean current with Bieber:

Humberto Soto stepped into the ring on October 3rd ready to extend his impressive seven fight win streak at the expense of Antonio Orozco. Instead of picking up his eighth win in a row, however, the judges in the StubHub Center in Carson, California rewarded Orozco the win in what many within the boxing world are calling a “highway robbery”. At the end of ten rounds of grueling action, everybody in attendance was expecting Soto’s hands to be raised in victory. Soto not only dictated the pace of the fight, but dictated where the action went as well. He was truly a ring general and while Orozco definitely landed his fair share of shots, there is a good reason fans in attendance weren’t satisfied with the judges’ decision.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it’s official, the world is over. Well not exactly, but it is a dark day for MMA because we have learned that the sport has been used in a series of romance novels. Yes, romance novels, the worst of all genres of literature. You know the ones I’m talking about. The ones with hunky, probably photoshopped, guys on the front with their shirts off and long flowing hair blowing in the wind. Then there might even be a girl, falling by his side or holding him closely. Get the picture?

Sometimes the ropes can help you out and sometimes they can assist you in getting knocked out, this clip shows the latter. Another, perhaps even more interesting thing about this KO, is the fact that it’s a freaking flying elbow KO.
