Fighting Results from 2012-2013

Every single notable fight from the 2012-2013 season!

27/7/13
Andre Berto Vs Jesus Soto Karass - A nip and tuck fight the whole way through with both men having success and hurting each other. However, you got the feeling that throughout the fight Karass was the one on the way to victory and that proved to be right after a solid left-hook in round 12. Karass TKO 12.

Omar Figueroa Vs Nihito Arakawa - A fantastic, action-packed fight between two little warriors. It looked like Arakawa was on his way out after being dominated in round 1 but he gritted his teeth, came back strong an took the fight to the youngster. Every round followed the same pattern - Both men just beating the hell out of each other! Figueroa UD.

Keith Thurman vs Diego Chaves - An explosive fighter between two power-punchers right from the off. Chaves started well and had plenty of success throughout the fight, but eventually Thurman proved to be the smarter and classier operator. Thurman KO 10.

Pound-For-Pound Preview for 2013!

Here we are in the first month of 2013, just waiting for the boxing world to kick off once again. With the first big night of boxing of the year coming up in a weeks time on January 19th (Salido-Garcia, Golovkin-Rosado, Martinez-Burgos), I think this is the perfect time to give a preview of the pound-for-pound rankings this year.

There are so many young talented superstars making their way through the ranks at this current time and 2013 could be the year when some of them launch themselves to the very top and start mixing with the elite fighters in the sport. The Pacquiao-Mayweather-Marquez-Cotto era is gradually coming to an end so expect to see the tide changing a lot in the coming months!

Pascal-Cloud officially cancelled! Cloud Vs Murat is next...

The anticipated light-heavyweight showdown between Tavoris Cloud and Jean Pascal will not take place in 2012. The fight has been on and off for a few weeks now but it has now been confirmed that it will not happen this year.

The fight was initially scheduled for August 11th but was postponed due to a hand injury suffered by Pascal. The teams and promoters were then desperately trying to make the fight happen in any of the later months of this year but too many problems arose meaning that it was almost impossible to make the fight happen in 2012. Pascal will now return in December against an opponent that is yet to be announced. Cloud will now defend his IBF world title against the mandatory challenger Karo Murat. A date for this fight hasn't been confirmed but it will most likely take place in November. The fight between Pascal and Cloud will no doubt happen, just not this year.

"We wanted to make the fight in 2012, but it was too early to do it in October and it was impossible to book the Bell Centre in November with Lucian Bute fighting and Georges St-Pierre. December was a possibility, but Murat felt the delay was too long and he knew that his outlandish requests were rejected. I do not blame him, he has been waiting for a while," said Pascal's promoter Yvon Michel.

"Cloud will simply meet his obligations as a champion. I believe that Cloud should not have any difficulties with Murat. If all goes well, we will keep the same agreement, with Cloud and Showtime, and make the fight in the spring [of 2013]."
