A Donaire left hook from hell flattened pound-for-pound entrant Fernando Montiel last Feb. 19, elevating the profile of the "Filipino Flash" from talented world champion to emerging superstar. Boxing fans salivated over potential mouth-watering matchups against the likes of Abner Mares, Joseph Agbeko and Yuriorkis Gamboa. Donaire attempts to do that when he defends his WBC and WBO bantamweight titles against undefeated Argentine Omar Narvaez at Madison Square Garden in New York (8:30 p.m. today, HBO).

Watch Julio Cesar Miranda vs. Brian Viloria Full Replay Free
Manila, Philippines - For challenger Brian Viloria, losing to WBO flyweight champion Julio Cesar Miranda of Mexico will likely mean the end of his boxing career. “It’s a must-win fight for Brian,” said Gomez in a phone interview from Honolulu yesterday. The way I see it, if Miranda wins, it’s over for Brian.”
Gomez’ assessment has upped the stakes for Viloria. Gomez has been in Viloria’s corner since he turned pro in 2001. As a cutman, he worked five fights with Manny Pacquiao, including the knockout win over Lehlo Ledwaba for the IBF superbantamweight crown. For the Miranda bout, Gomez will be joined in Viloria’s corner by trainer Mario Morales and WBA female superfeatherweight titleholder Kina (Dinamita) Malpartida of Peru.
Fighting in Honolulu where Viloria was born has its good and bad points, said Gomez. Brian is very focused on winning. Gomez said Viloria is well-prepared for battle. “Brian’s a true trouper. Gomez said Viloria is on weight and right on target. As for his sparmates, Gomez said Viloria worked out with Alex (Hands of Steel) Solorio, Japanese switch-hitter Takashi Okada and superbantamweight Raymond Chacon. Viloria logged about 150 rounds of sparring.
“Okada fights just like Miranda who likes to switch-hit. Gomez said the atmosphere in Honolulu is festive. “Everywhere Brian goes, he’s mobbed by fans wishing him well,” he said. The fans are really supportive of Brian. It’s been a while since Honolulu hosted a world title fight so this is something special particularly as Brian is involved.”
Last February, Miranda disposed of Filipino challenger Arden Diale in four rounds. Brian "The Hawaiian Punch" Viloria moves up to conquer the Flyweight division against WBO Champion Julio Cesar Miranda July 16 at the Blaisdell Arena.
06.17.2011– ISLAND ASSAULT 2: BRIAN VILORIA V. JULIO CESAR MIRANDA - SATURDAY, JULY 16, 7PM BLAISDELL ARENA
Two-time World Champion Brian Viloria (28-3-0, 16 KOs) returns to his native Hawaii for the toughest fight of his illustrious career against World Boxing Organization (WBO) Flyweight Champion Julio Cesar Miranda (32-5-1, 28 KOs) of Mexico.
The July 16 duel will be Miranda's third defense of his title after a five-fight winning streak. Viloria is on an upswing as well after winning two straight fights, one by knockout. Now the Filipino-American is ready for a title shot amidst the support of his home state and Filipino community.
"We've supported Brian Viloria through thick and thin and we are excited that he will get his chance to win another world title for himself and for the country," said Peter Chanliong, CEO of Solar Entertainment Corporation. "We've always believed that Brian is capable of winning another world title."
Watch Marco Huck vs Hugo Garay Free Online Stream
It is now officially confirmed that current WBO cruiserweight champion Marco Huck (32-1, 23 KOs) of Bielefeld, Germany, will defend his title against former WBA light heavyweight champion Hugo Garay (34-5, 18 KOs) of Tigre, Argentina. The bout will take place on July 16th in Germany. Huck’s last bout took place on April 2 in Germany, where he scored a unanimous decision over Ran Nakash.
WBO Cruiserweight Champion Marco “Captain” Huck (32-1, 23 KOs) has promised his fans another exciting victory on July 16 when he faces Argentinian ex-champion Hugo Hernan Garay (34-5, 18 KOs) at Munich´s Olympic Park. I have been working out in Berlin with my coach Ulli Wegner. My fans love my explosive style and my punching power. Q: It will be a special weekend in Munich, with the DTM (German Touring Car Championship) racing in the Olympic Park. MH: “Absolutely. I love cars and I am a huge DTM fan. It will indeed be a great, great weekend for sports fans in Munich. Q: The fight against Garay will already be your seventh title defence in less than two years. MH: “I just love to be in the ring. Q: In the co-featured main event, Eduard Gutknecht will make a first defence of his European Light Heavyweight Title. MH: “Eddy is a great guy. Huck would not comment on Garay´s harsh words. With the support of my fans, I will make another exciting title defence. The belt remains in Germany! I will get married as world champion on July 30.”
Garay´s public work-out session was a short one which only featured some light shadow boxing. Marco needs to stick to our game plan.
Watch Ricky Burns vs Nicky Cook Free Online Stream
Scotland's Ricky Burns will make the third defence his WBO Super-Featherweight world title against former belt holder Nicky Cook at Liverpool's Echo Arena on July 16.
Burns 28, won the WBO belt in September 2010 beating Purto Rican Roman Martinez on points. Martinez had taken the title off Cook the previous year when he stopped the Essex man in the fourth round.
Cook 31, a former British, European and Commonwealth champion at featherweight, returned to the ring after a two year layoff on Saturday night, shaking off some ring rust with a six round points win over Youssef Al Hamidi at the O2 Arena. But questions will be raised as to whether Cook should have taken another couple of fights in preparation before taking on Burns?
"I'm still hurting from that night," Cook told SkySports.
"The only way to heal the pain is to beat Ricky Burns. Burns has done well as champion, but believe me, I'm going in their all guns blazing to win back my old belt.
"There's always something special in the air when England and Scotland clash, and this fight will be no different," said Burns.
"Nicky wants his title back, but even if he produces the performance of a lifetime, he won't beat me."
WBO SUPER-FEATHERWEIGHT TITLE: ECHO ARENA, LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY JULY 16, 2011, 2210 BST
Ricky Burns may seem to be Britain's forgotten world champion but the unassuming Scot has his chance to shine as he makes his first defence south of the border against former world champion Nicky Cook.
Cook held the WBO title before Roman Martinez, whom Burns defeated to become champion, relinquished him of the crown in 2009.
WBO super-featherweight champion Ricky Burns could be fighting for the last time at 130lbs tomorrow night, according to trainer and mentor Billy Nelson.
The 28 year-old makes the third defence of his title at the Echo Arena in Liverpool this Saturday against former champion Nicky Cook and Nelson says the Coatbridge fighter will seek a unification bout next if victorious.
The IBF has stripped Fana of his title because he refused to make a mandatory defence but that should just make that fight easier to make.
Burns took the title from the number one fighter in the division at the time, Roman ‘Rocky’ Martinez and is yet to be tested since claiming the title in September 2010.

Watch Wladimir Klitschko vs David Haye Full Replay Free
For quite some time, the heavyweight division has failed to give fight fans a reason to tune in. After years and years of limited action it appears the time has come, as this Saturday night two of the sports biggest stars collide when Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49KO's) takes on former cruiserweight David Haye (25-1, 23KO's). As we prepare for this epic showdown, we'll take a look at "Keys to Victory", four critical game-changing elements to explore, as well as an official prediction:
WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO - KEYS TO VICTORY
For Wladimir, the fight will basically come down to two things contained within one word: Nerves. Several marquee fighters throughout the history of the sport have suffered from (for lack of better words) performance anxiety; able to execute well under certain conditions, yet anxious and awkward as the stakes grow higher. In the case of Wladimir, this once highly pronounced flaw from the early days has seemed to be cured in recent times, yet none of us have seen him on a stage this grand at any point in his career.
How Wladimir handles the bright lights and the kind of pressure known to burst pipes in this career defining moment will be key and ultimately dictate his level of success. A relaxed Wladimir is as good as it gets, and considering the fact that his opponent is a bit out of his league in this colossal affair as well, the ability to calmly and patiently execute will come at a high premium. The other element to weigh heavy in the final outcome can also come down to that word "nerves". Only in this case, perhaps "nerves" of a different variety....closer to what the Latinos would call 'juevos', or more simply put, 'cajones'.
Not only will Wladimir need to calmly execute against the fast and powerful David Haye, but the operative question here is does he have "nerve" (or 'cajones') to stand in the pocket and risk the potential onslaught from a man who's ability may rival his? Will he be willing to stand in the pocket and face the fire, or will he melt out of sheer fear of being burned? This question could be more grand than the initial, because a scared Wladimir will no doubt result in a defeated Wladimir. Strategically, Haye has marginal footwork and questionable stamina. If Wladimir has the "nerves" to stand in the pocket, keep Haye on the end of a stiff jab, and execute calmly, it'll be an easy night for him. Maybe even easier than we've seen in recent times.
DAVID HAYE - KEYS TO VICTORY
For David Haye, the plan of attack is not so simple. Haye has faced a few giants in his brief and somewhat unfulfilled tenure at Heavyweight, but none with the total package, equipped with a level of athleticism this rare in a big man. For David Haye, it will be very important to start out fast and strong, using good head movement and solid footing, as one flush shot in the wrong position could land put him on his back quicker than he knows. Haye will have to prevent Wladimir from gaining confidence early. A confidence bearing Wladimir is the equivalent Jekyll and Hyde, as he literally becomes a beast.
One other major concern for Haye will be stamina. Past fights that involved heavy action has left him breathing quite hard on his stool. Limited stamina in front of Wladimir would make him a dead man walking. If Haye can start fast, land crisp to the body early and often and set the tone, his chances of winning this fight increase by the round, as questions also surround Wladimir's ability to fight at a face pace over the distance as well.
FOUR TO EXPLORE
3's THE CHARM: When you analyze video of these two men, one common thread is the often used one-two combination. For Haye it's more of a quick flurry, for Wladimir, it's often one and done, as the second shot to land flush typically seals the deal on the heals of the first. When it isn't enough, Wladimir is known to do a 'wrap up hug', preventing return fire from the opponent. Although both men have had great success with the one-two, conventional wisdom tells me that the one who's limited defense keeps him frozen long enough to allow a third shot to land will undoubtedly be the one looking at the ceiling for a full 10 count. Keep an eye out for the trio-combo, as neither man is expected to survive it.
Lights, Camera....Action?: David Haye has become more of a talker than any of us ever knew he was, and similar to Wladimir Klitschko, even the great Mike Tyson recently went on record to say that David Haye "talked himself into this fight". Just the other day, veteran Floyd Mayweather jr. told the young Victor Ortiz in so many words that "there's more people at the press conference than he's used to having at his actual fights. So all the talking is good, but question is will he be able to perform on a par to support those words with 17000+ screaming to the top of their lungs when the lights turn on"? Operative question: When the lights come on and the camera starts to roll, is David Haye truly capable of performing to the level of his mouth which has yet to stop? It'll be interesting to find out.
Start of the End?: There's much to be said about the state of the heavyweight division, but one thing few are talking about is "what happens if Haye loses"? A Haye victory sets up a sequel, as Vitali awaits. But if Haye loses, is the party over, because we know that Vitali won't be facing brother Wladimir. More and more in the sport we see dead-end issues like this tilt the scorecards. Could such a tilt be in the works here? NOT A CHANCE. As Lennox Lewis stated, "Haye's only chance to win is a KO". That being said, Where does the momentum of the division go if he loses? Stay tuned.
Thunder or Lightening?: Legend has it that "speed kills", while "power thrills". In the case of these two potential "legends-in-waiting", it'll be intriguing to see which of the two is more prominent in the outcome. Wladimir has decent speed and exceptional power. Haye has exceptional power and better than average speed (for a heavy). The lone X-factor here is the fact that Wladimir's speed and power are both proven on this level; while Haye has shown speed at the heavyweight level, yet his power has only been able to net him a few TKO's, all stemming more from accumulation than immediate disintegration. In the end, will Haye's "Lightening" be enough to withstand the wrath of Wladimir's ominous and deceptively fast "Thunder"?
OFFICIAL PREDICTION
For one of these men, tonight's fight will culminate into the proverbial watershed moment that every fighter in the sport hopes for. For Wladimir, it's a chance to help himself solidify a legacy that has a defined body of work, but no true exclamation mark to punctuate the journey. For Haye, it's a chance to prove that confidence breeds cockiness, and belief in self can propel even the most questionable to new heights.
I believe that both men will put forth a solid effort and the fans will get their monies worth. In the end, despite the speed and power of Haye, as well as the bravado, better judgement tells us that history is our best indicator of who exactly will have their hand held high in the end. This year has been the year of the upset and aside from the sports co-P4P king Manny Pacquiao, no man has been spared. Unfortunately for David Haye, he is no Pacquiao, and it's highly conceivable that he won't be spared like the incredible fighting Filipino. The stiff jab, reach, and athleticism of Wladimir will be too much over the distance.....unless Haye has it in his to conquer this mountain and shock the world. But don't bet your money on it. The jury is back, the votes are in.........the final verdict.........

NEW YORK (Sept. 24, 2010)–The Group Stage 3 matchups in the Super Six World Boxing Classic, the unprecedented boxing tournament from SHOWTIME Sports® featuring the world’s best super middleweights, have been rescheduled for Nov. 27, it was announced today by Ken Hershman, Executive Vice President and General Manager for sports programming on the network. The matchup between breakout American stars and friends, Andre Ward and Andre Dirrell, will headline the SHOWTIME® telecast on Saturday, Nov. 27, live at 9p.m. ET/PT. Ward vs. Dirrell, one of the most talked about matchups of the year, will be contested for Ward’s WBA championship and the newly vacated WBC belt, adding yet another dramatic layer to an already captivating fight..
Ward has already locked up his Semifinal berth, but will be protecting his title and undefeated professional record. Dirrell, conversely, needs a win to guarantee his place in the Semis. Dirrell conceivably could get in with two points but he would need help from fellow tournament competitors.
On the same night, Saturday, Nov. 27 from Hartwall Areena in Helsinki, Finland, Arthur Abraham will meet former WBC titlist Carl Froch for their pivotal Group Stage 3 fight. Promoters Kalle Sauerland and Mick Hennessy are working with the Hartwell Areena to finalize details for the event. This bout, matching arguably the two toughest and most aggressive punchers in the Super Six, has been rescheduled from Oct. 2 due to a back injury to Froch.
Allan Green, whose Group Stage 3 bout with Mikkel Kessler was waylaid when Kessler withdrew from competition with an eye injury, has left the perennial contender without an opponent. A decision on Green’s Group Stage 3 bout is expected in the coming days.
The third and final Group Stage will complete the round-robin portion of the tournament and determine the four fighters who will advance to the single-elimination Semifinals. Through the first two Stages, the WBA world champion Ward is the only fighter to have secured a berth in the Semis. No fighter has been eliminated from contention creating a virtual win-or-go-home scenario for each of the men.
Hershman said, “We have asked these fighters to challenge themselves against the best fighters in the world; not in one mega-fight, but in a consecutive series of career defining fights. Injuries and delays are inevitable. However, each one of them has accepted the challenge and brought a level of intensity to the ring that, in my estimation, is unmatched in all of sports.”
“We are still on pace to complete the tournament in 2011, at which time we will have delivered to boxing fans around the world a number of the most compelling and meaningful matches in the sport.
“So, the drama continues with all the fighters still alive heading to Group Stage 3. I couldn’t have scripted this any better.”

Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Michael Katsidis free online live
by Robert Brown
On the 27 of November 2010 Juan Manuel Marquez will defend his WBO 135 pound title against Michael ‘The Great’ Katsidis, at the M.G.M Grand in Las Vegas . This match stands to be a stern challenge for the aging legend Marquez, despite his many failed attempts to get a rubber match with pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao. This match defines boxing in its purist form with a master boxer versus a raging slugger. If all the ingredients together come this should provide a spectacle to satisfy the most battle hardened boxing fans.
This fight represents fighters at two different stages of their careers, one looking to cement what will be a Hall of Fame career, the other looking to put a multiple time champion in multiple divisions away and send him possibly into retirement. Either way this will be a career defining match for both fighters..
It is time to take a closer look at the challenger to the Marquez title, Michael Katsidis. His best weapon is without doubt the devastating right hand but does posses power in both.He is a pure pressure fighter who will cut off the ring and back his opponent against the ropes to launch devastating power, that disposed of up and coming undefeated prospect Kevin Mitchell in three rounds leaving British fans in a state of shock.
His defense is suspect however, evidence of this is when the previously undefeated and former WBO champion went after the then 36 year old Joel Cassamayor's WBC belt, ripe for the picking it would seem considering people at the time thought he was nowhere near the best lightweight in the division and possibly on a major decline. Katsidis rushed forward and got caught twice early, but then fought back during the middle rounds before he got caught again and lost the fight. Katsidis is vulnerable to uppercuts. This was also as was demonstrated in the Diaz fight where he got hit with several inside exchanges during the fight.
Marquez has got one of the best uppercuts in the sports and can deliver it on the inside and at a distance. This is the most dangerous punch to watch out for in regards to Katsidis. If he is able to cut the ring off and get Marquez in the corner, which he has to do to win the fight as he will not outbox him, and if he lands the right shots Katsidis can win. That is the question because Marquez has magnificent ring intelligence and boxing ability, so it will be a tough task.
Let’s take a look at Juan Manuel Marquez.
For so long this great Mexican warrior lived in the shadows of his more dynamic and exciting counterparts Eric ‘El Terrible’ Morales and Marco ‘The Baby Faced Assassin Barrera’, particularly because of the unbelievably exciting and memorable wars those to fighters had. With those two fading away into the mist, although Morales has recently made a successful comeback to the ring, Marquez after his to great showdowns with Pacman and gallant challenge against Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather is finally getting the respect he is due amongst general and casual boxing fans as a great champion.
Die hard boxing fans have always known about Marquez and respect his great talents in the ring but it has taken a lot of years of hard toil and frustration on his part to gain it. Marquez has brilliant counter punching abilities and great accuracy combined with exquisite boxing skills and timing and it has been shown that Katsidis is vulnerable to counter shots. He was hit with counter rights at certain stages that wobbled him in that fight and Diaz hit him with several counter uppercuts on the inside in his win over Katsidis. Marquez however has showed signs of slowing down and whether he will be able to keep up with the young hungry contenders pressure is a big question for Marquez at this stage of his career, the type of pressure that was applied against Mitchell Amrosi and Earl in particular.
KEYS TO VICTORY
Marquez would be well advised to use his skill to outbox Katsidis and keep the fight in the center of the ring as much as possible keep the fight out of the domain of his younger opponent because Katsidis does not have the tools to cope with the boxing skill of his seasoned opponent.
Katsidis key to victory is to fight in a phone booth apply constant pressure and try and land that powerful right concentrating on that 39 year old body, keeping his head tucked into the chest of Marques avoiding counter punches and uppercuts from Marquez.

Danny Green vs BJ Flores
by: Eugene Carnachan
Tonight BJ Flores 24 (KO 15) + lost 0 (KO 0) + drawn 1 and Danny Green 30 (KO 27) + lost 3 (KO 0) go head to head at Challenge Stadium, Mt Claremont, Western Australia. Greens home patch.
The fight is for Greens IBO Cruiserweight belt.
Greens last two outings have been the blowout of faded legend Roy Jones Junior and the farcical outing against and even more faded and cerebrally challenged Paul Briggs.
Flores as an opponent was enlisted to provide stern opposition to a fighter, Green, whose once impervious domestic reputation is somewhat dented and in need of panel beating given the nature of his last two fights..
Flores hasn’t fought since August of 2009; a win over Argentinean Epifanio Mendoza.
However Flores hasn’t been inactive in the last fourteen months and has spent time as a sparring partner with David Haye and one time light heavyweight king Chad Dawson.
Flores has also served time as the principle sparring partner with the likes of Hasim Rahman, Sergei Liakhovich and Ruslan Chagaev.
Comparatively, compared to Green, Flores has far more experience in dealing with big fighters. Flores 2003 professional debut was at heavyweight. Fighting sixteen times as a heavyweight before seeing riper career pickings in the cruiserweight division given the size of modern heavies; particularly those from Eastern Europe.
Green debuted as a middleweight. Flores will not be intimidated by Green.
Missing from Flores resume is a big name. Flores has fought a lot of mid-range to lower tier opposition; fighters primarily of this level. Green far outstrips Flores in the level of opposition faced.
In 2003 Green was the interim WBC super middleweight champion after stopping Canadian Eric Lucas. In 2007 Green beat Stipe Drews winning from Drews his WBA World light heavyweight title. Greens only losses have come against champions in Marcus Beyer (twice) and fellow Australian Anthony Mundine.
Flores understands Greens record reads far superior to his. He wants Green to be the fighter and name that takes his career into the upper echelons of the sport.
In Green, Flores will be fighting a renowned slugger. That said there is method to Greens aggression and while he looks to pressure fight he too has very good base skills. He will need them.
Flores is a big cruiserweight. He struggles to make the two hundred pound (200 lb) limit. Green on the other hand has fought his last two fights, Jones and Briggs, at one hundred and eighty five pounds (185 lb).
It is expected his weight will be the same for this fight. Flores post weigh in, hydrated and eating properly, could enter the ring at around 210-215 pounds. Giving him a weight advantage of around twenty pounds.
In Sundays bout between Pacman and Margarito the latter had a similar weight advantage. Pacman was able to negate the weight disparity with speed. Green will not be able to employ the same type of speed Pacman did (but who can) and he instead will look to smother and outwork Flores.
Flores will look to make use of his weight advantage. He will try to bully the smaller Green. The approach of both men will see a lot of leather traded.
Greens chin has stood the test of time. Flores hasn’t been in the dog fights Green has and so the question of how sturdy his whiskers are is yet to be determined.
Given Greens volume punching style that very question will be answered and the answer could be the significant determinant in the outcome of the fight. If Greens power cannot keep Flores at bay the weight advantage and power of the much bigger man may prove a difficult proposition for Green to handle.
Flores covets recognition as one of the premiere fighters in the sport.
Flores is known as a very astute self-promoter. Very media savvy and articulate Flores can be seen as a commentator on ESPNs Friday Night Fights. It’s now time for Flores to convert the self-promotion and ring side astuteness into in the results he covets.
Many think this fight will be a one sided cake walk for Green. Can Flores win this fight? If he can walk through Greens power I think so. I think the size advantage is to big a bridge for Green to cross.

Tonight BJ Flores 24 (KO 15) + lost 0 (KO 0) + drawn 1 and Danny Green 30 (KO 27) + lost 3 (KO 0) go head to head at Challenge Stadium, Mt Claremont, Western Australia. Greens home patch.
The fight is for Greens IBO Cruiserweight belt.
Greens last two outings have been the blowout of faded legend Roy Jones Junior and the farcical outing against and even more faded and cerebrally challenged Paul Briggs.
Flores as an opponent was enlisted to provide stern opposition to a fighter, Green, whose once impervious domestic reputation is somewhat dented and in need of panel beating given the nature of his last two fights..
Flores hasn’t fought since August of 2009; a win over Argentinean Epifanio Mendoza.
However Flores hasn’t been inactive in the last fourteen months and has spent time as a sparring partner with David Haye and one time light heavyweight king Chad Dawson.
Flores has also served time as the principle sparring partner with the likes of Hasim Rahman, Sergei Liakhovich and Ruslan Chagaev.
Comparatively, compared to Green, Flores has far more experience in dealing with big fighters. Flores 2003 professional debut was at heavyweight. Fighting sixteen times as a heavyweight before seeing riper career pickings in the cruiserweight division given the size of modern heavies; particularly those from Eastern Europe.
Green debuted as a middleweight. Flores will not be intimidated by Green.
Missing from Flores resume is a big name. Flores has fought a lot of mid-range to lower tier opposition; fighters primarily of this level. Green far outstrips Flores in the level of opposition faced.
In 2003 Green was the interim WBC super middleweight champion after stopping Canadian Eric Lucas. In 2007 Green beat Stipe Drews winning from Drews his WBA World light heavyweight title. Greens only losses have come against champions in Marcus Beyer (twice) and fellow Australian Anthony Mundine.
Flores understands Greens record reads far superior to his. He wants Green to be the fighter and name that takes his career into the upper echelons of the sport.
In Green, Flores will be fighting a renowned slugger. That said there is method to Greens aggression and while he looks to pressure fight he too has very good base skills. He will need them.
