Johnson vs Jeffries. Boxing's First "Fight Of The Century"

Johnson vs Jeffries. Boxing's First "Fight Of The Century"

In 1910, Jack Johnson and James J. Jeffries clashed in Reno, Nevada to contest the world heavyweight crown in what was then billed as “The Fight of the Century.” At stake was far more than a mere boxing championship, as the black Johnson, having taken the belt from Canadian Tommy Burns in 1908, was thought by the white public in America to be wholly unfit to hold the title. Jeffries, an undefeated former champion and the most legitimate “Great W…Read Article

30 Years Of Talent: The Top 12 Most Gifted Boxers Of The Last 30 Years

Talent is an almost indefinable quality. You can spot it in a prodigious young athlete, but at the same time it’s difficult to define precisely what it is. It can manifest itself as an aura, a reality-defying sense of self-containment, a blur of speed, or as a heightened ability to make split-second calculations. But often it’s tricky to state with certainty what separates a talented boxer from a merely effective contemporary. I’ve been meditati…Read Article

A moment in history: June 27, 1987

On this day in 1987, Edmonton's future mayor called for more women to enter provincial and federal politics. Jan Reimer's family was no stranger to politics — her father, Neil Reimer, was a labour activist and the leader of Alberta's New Democratic Party for the first six years of its existence. She studied sociology and political science at the University of Alberta. After that, she spent a few years of working in Australia, Southeast Asia, and…See the Story

Billy Conn: Risk vs Reward - Reconsidering A Most Famous Knockout

“To dare is to lose one’s footing momentarily. To not dare is to lose oneself.” — Soren Kierkegaard Earlier this month the boxing world marked the 84th anniversary of one of the greatest fights of all-time, and in the decades since, we have been told time and time again how Billy Conn was foolish to go for the KO against Joe Louis in round thirteen of their first battle for the heavyweight championship of the world. It is one of boxing’s mo…Boxing · New York Read Article

Mexico vs Puerto Rico: The All-Time Best Fights In An Historic Rivalry

Only the most hardcore of fight fans will have noted it, but a few days ago was the anniversary of the ferocious 1934 war between bantamweights Sixto Escobar and Rodolfo Casanova at The Forum in Montreal, a truly historic battle for more than one reason. This was not only one of the best fights of the year and a breakthrough win for Escobar, aka “El Gallito,” the pride of Puerto Rico, but it was also the monumental clash that sparked the greates…San Juan, Puerto Rico · San Juan Read Article

Holyfield vs Tyson II: The Legendary Bite Fight Remembered

Twenty three years ago today, one of the most savage moments in boxing history took place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. In perhaps the biggest sporting event of the 1990’s, Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson met a second time to settle the score after “The Real Deal” had pulled off the unthinkable the previous year, stopping “Iron Mike” in an all-time great upset. Like their first encounter, the rematch surpassed all expectations, albeit in a mar…Las Vegas, Nevada · Las Vegas Read Article

Maxim vs Robinson. The Heat Scores A Rare KO Over Sugar Ray

In boxing, as in other avenues of life, it is possible to be too good for your own good. Sugar Ray Robinson is regarded by many as the greatest boxer of all time, but on at least one occasion, his immense talent proved a liability. By 1952, Robinson’s place in boxing history was more than secure. He had dominated both the welterweight and middleweight divisions like few before and on the way established himself as the finest all-round boxer sinc…Boxing · New York Read Article

Fight City Legends 14: The Manassa Mauler

If boxing’s greatest era is that in which it was most popular, then Jack Dempsey is the fighter most identified with the sport’s zenith. The ‘Manassa Mauler,’ whose appearance and temperament seemed to reflect the rugged Western terrain he came from, won the heavyweight title in 1919 and held it for seven years. His greatest fights are some of boxing’s most famous, and his championship reign during the first half of the 1920’s defined him as a f…Boxing · Manassa Read Article

Smash Hit: A 'Killer' Collection - The Fight City

Curcio and I spoke of his project in its embryonic stage and I read many of the essays in draft form. An erudite and wide-ranging volume, of equal interest to both film buffs and fight fans, Smash Hit offers informed discussions on twenty movies, ranging through all the 20th ce…Crime · Toronto Read Article

June 22, 1979: Duran vs Palomino. Was Hands Of Stone Ever Better?

If one decides to rank the finest performances in the amazing career of the great Roberto Duran, his ten round tour de force against Carlos Palomino clearly merits high standing and has to find itself near the very top. Duran vs Palomino is a key contest in Duran’s career as it exhibits the skill and ring intelligence of a true pound-for-pound great, while also putting him in perfect position for his greatest triumph, a huge, multi-million dolla…New York State · New York Read Article

June 22, 1938: Louis vs Schmeling II: The Brown Bomber's Revenge

Former world champion Max Schmeling was a solid 10-to-1 underdog when he faced rising contender and awesome knockout artist Joe Louis in a major heavyweight showdown in June of 1936. A huge crowd in Yankee Stadium expected to see the veteran humbly fall to the undefeated contender who was viewed as unstoppable, but instead Schmeling shocked the sporting world when he dominated “Joltin’ Joe,” landing a long series of hard right hand counters befo…New York State · New York Read Article
