Lamont Peterson Remains Champ May 19

Lamont Peterson Remains Champ May 19

Lamont Peterson has spoken to Global sport in colour and says he will still be the champion on May 19th. From this interview it's clear that Peterson is going to be applying the pressure on Khan. Marching forward, closing the distance, and not giving Khan the time to get the jab or combinations going. Amir Khan doesn't have much of an inside game so if Peterson can close the distance when he wants he may well be predicting the right outcome in saying he remains the WBA and IBF Light Welterweight Champion.

Amir Khan Still Says He Was Cheated

Amir Khan Still Says He Was Cheated

Amir Khan still insists that he was cheated when he lost his WBA and IBF light welterweight titles when he fought Lamont Peterson last year. Everyone except Khan and his camp are now sick of hearing this. It was a close fight yes, but many people think Peterson done enough to get the win. Here is Amir Khan talking about his upcoming rematch with Lamont Peterson, still bitter about the first fight. The truth is, Peterson fought out of his skin, and in the process he exposed a few weaknesses in Khan's game. Instead of being bitter Khan needs to work on fixing those weaknesses because Peterson will be looking to expose them again in the rematch.

George Groves Vs Kenny Anderson Is Off

George Groves Vs Kenny Anderson Is Called Off

Quick Update: The scheduled fight between George Grove and Kenny Anderson has been called off due to "medical reasons". The "medical reasons" has come from the George Groves camp. Not sure what the problems is. It could possibly be an injury picked up during training. However, nothing has been confirmed.

It is rumoured though that George Groves has scrapped this fight with Anderson because his manager has won purse bids for a world title fight against WBO Super Middleweight Champion Robert Stieglitz. Again, nothing is confirmed. Groves Vs Anderson would have been a good fight, but if the choice is there to fight for a world title Groves would be crazy not to go for it. Saying that, Robert Stieglitz could be a risky fight for Groves. Robert Stieglitz is an experienced operator and has more knockouts on his boxing record then Groves has fights.

Scott Harrison Returns To Boxing

Scott Harrison Returns To Boxing

Former WBO Champion Scott Harrison makes a return to the ring after a long and troubled road away from the sport that he hopefully now leaves well and truly in the past. It's been six years since Scott Harrison's last fight. People are asking, can he come back to the sport after such a long absence and become world champion again. Scott's first fight back will be in Blackpool, UK, against an opponent yet to be named. Obviously this will just be a warm up fight. With 6 years away from the ring, and 2 ¼ of those years spent in a Spanish jail, I would hope this warm-up fight will be the first of a few before taking on the real top boxers of the weight class that Scott will be fighting at. However, there is talk that Scott will be targeting a world title shot as early as September 2012. If Frank Maloney (Harrison's promoter) is wise it will be for one of the less regarded titles against a decent but not elite level fighter. Unless he wants to run the risk because Harrison has been a world champion before.

Scott Harrison is still world class no doubt, he is a solid pro, but with 6 years out of the sport and now being 34 years old, it makes one wonder if his best years are now behind him. He can win a world title but September 2012 is a bit too soon to start targeting world titles. Realistically Scott needs to spend the whole of this year working his way back into the sport and working his way back up to the better opponents that he will need all his old "prime days" boxing skill level to beat. That will only come with time. But I guess time is what he doesn't have, which is why he wants to fight for a world title sooner rather then later. He needs to become a gym rat, but I'm pretty sure he was anyway.

It's a tough task but he can do it if he stays focused and away from alcohol.

Update: Scott Harrison's scheduled fight at the end of March has been cancelled due to him being arrested by Police for - Shoplifting. Frank Maloney no longer wants to promote Harrison because it's just too much hassle. Scott Harrison was promoted by Frank Warren in the past, and was said to still be under contract with him. So Frank Warren is going to pick up where the pair left off and represent Harrison again.

Scott Harrison Beats Mizsei Jr on his return to the ring, stopping him in round 4. Harrison looked impressive beings that he has been out of action for over 6 years. Watch what Scott Harrison had to say on his comeback win in this Interview filmed after the fight.

Klitschko Destroys Mormeck In 4 Rounds

Klitschko Destroys Mormeck In 4 Rounds

An easy nights work for Wladimir. The size, the skill, the power, all too much for Mormeck to deal with. Mormeck was completely nullified, everything he tried was no good. Mormeck tried to get inside to land punches but Wladimir just tied him up and leaned on Mormeck's neck with all his weight, tiring Mormeck out. The end came with a nice one-two combination, followed by a short hook that folded Mormeck to the canvas. He was also down in the second round from similar shots but managed to survive.

Wladimir was not messing about in this fight. He did not try and carry Mormeck for a few rounds, he just went for the kill as soon as the opportunity presented itself. The size difference, complete with the superb boxing skills of Wladimir were far too great for a 39 year old Mormeck to contend with. Mormeck now becomes the 50th knockout of Wladimir's boxing career.

Who's next? Who's left?

Wladimir Klitschko Vs Mormeck Weigh-In

Wladimir Klitschko Vs Mormeck Weigh-In

The Wladimir - Mormeck fight has been widely frowned upon. Everyone thinks it's a miss-match. Mormeck's reputation has been tarnished massively after losing to David Haye by knockout. People now just see him as the guy Haye knocked out. Truth is, Mormeck knocked Haye down and was in control early in the fight, it was no walk in the park for David Haye. So he should not be completely written off.

Since losing to Haye, Mormeck has won his last 3 fights. Fair enough, they were against mediocre opponents but this would have given him a much needed confidence boost now that he's facing Wladimir Klitschko. The word is, Mormeck has been mimicking the Mike Tyson style in training for this fight and will be coming forward with a bobbing and weaving style, the very style that both Klitschko's can have trouble with if the style is used correctly. Mormeck has been training like this for many months.

No matter what people think of Mormeck, he's going to give it a go. But at 39 years old he's well past his prime. He will be dangerous for a few rounds and maybe he might have a chance of catching Wladimir cold if he pushes the action from the first bell and rushes Wladimir, not giving him a chance to set his feet and control the distance and pace of the fight.

Should be interesting for the first five rounds but after that it's all Wladimir.
