Mayweather vs Alexander.. brilliant.

Really low key fight for Mayweather, tad disappointing if this is true.
I hate the fact they are keeping Mayweather away from Bradley, I believe it's figured out now anyway, Mayweather has a couple of more fights in him at best and is by far the biggest draw in boxing. Timothy Bradley is also undefeated and having Mayweather crush that would ruin the potential cash machine Bradley is set to become. The worst part of all this... Bradley is nothing special, he won a blatant fixed decision against a hall of famer in Pacman, by blatant I mean it wasn't even reasonably close to swing it.

I'd back Kell Brook to beat Alexander so I don't see what Mayweather would see in this fight. As for Bradley, Ruslan Provodnikov is in line for him, as you can guess a complete nobody from Russia who's been knocking out bums for a while. Boxing eh.

Floyd Mayweather will fight Robert Guerrero in Las Vegas on May 4, it has been confirmed.

The clash between the WBC welterweight champion and their 'interim' belt holder has been mooted since the start of the year.

Mayweather's tweet earlier this month that Devon Alexander was the front-runner for the 'Cinco de Mayweather' date proved to be a red-herring with the IBF belt holder still on course to take on Kell Brook.

The fight will take place on CBS and Showtime PPV, something of a surprise after HBO had televised the majority of his fights. The new deal is for up to six fights over 30 months.

Re: Boxing 2013
 
So Price gets wiped out, good riddance, he deserves it. You simply cannot expect to be a world beater when you're constantly fighting bums, fair enough I've made no secret in slating Price at every opportunity but now you see why, he's utter crap as is Tyson Fury. The pair of them consistently claim they will be World Champions and neither of them are even close to good. Price and Fury talked a lot of crap about Haye too and how they'd beat him, Sorry Price but you wouldn't want to be in the same city as Haye after that.

Price is done. 15-1 against unknown fighters and knocked out by a bum. British Heavyweight boxing is done with for a while unless Haye and Vitali can do something.

Amir Khan's next fight will be against former world champion Julio Diaz in Sheffield on 27 April, his first contest in Britain for two years.

Khan's last bout in Britain was a six-round win over Paul McCloskey in 2011.

Khan's last fight was a stoppage of Carlos Molina in Los Angeles in December, his first outing since losses to Lamont Peterson and Danny Garcia.

Re: Boxing 2013
 
Tim Bradley fought at the weekend and took it by the skin of his teeth, He showed massive cockyness similar to that of Amir Khan and quickly found himself being battered by a Russian. Bradley is overrated beyond belief and the amount of fighters he's ducked is hilarious but he got his on Saturday despite winning. Questions will be raised now about how Bradley was rocked multiple times throughout different rounds but survived a one sided fight with the Pacman.

Simple Answer: Mayweather will be off soon, retirement looms for a boxing legend and the licence to print money goes with him, unless they mold Bradley into another Mayweather. Bradley is undefeated and got a terrible decision against a legend in what's quickly looking to be a complete fix. They cannot turn this guy into anything. If boxers come at Bradley like Ruslan did then Bradley's gonna be dropped, Ruslan barely caught him half the time either so a match with Garcia landing one lucky shot would see Bradley on his back.

Thursday looks interesting.

BOXING
Former world heavyweight and cruiserweight champion David 'The Hayemaker' Haye will officially announce his highly-anticipated return to the ring at a press conference this Thursday in London.

The division just got interesting again, there were already rumours Haye would go knocking people out until he was the mandatory challenger for a title in an attempt to force either Klitschko into a fight with him.

Or could this be another run at Cruiser? god help anyone in that division if it is.
