Matchroom and Top Rank held a joint press conference at the Barclays Center today to announce a June 27 matchup between unified junior middleweight champions Xander Zayas and Jaron “boots“ Ennis. Zayas (23-0, 13 ko), just 23 years old is coming off arguably a career best win against Abass Baraou

In his first time fighting past six rounds, young Abdullah Mason showed an entertaining mix of skill and dig-down to grind out a unanimous decision against England’s Sam Noakes over twelve brutal rounds by scores of 115-113 (twice) and 117-111 to become the youngest active champion in boxing.

I certainly picked Vergil Ortiz to beat Erickson Lubin on Saturday night, but I didn’t see THAT coming. I thought that Lubin would use his hand speed and footwork to keep Ortiz turning, and that eventually somewhere in the middle rounds, Ortiz would start landing to the body, slow Lubin

From the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn NY – He may be 37 years old and 42 fights into his career, but in his tenth and final performance at the Barclay’s center in Brooklyn NY, Danny Garcia (38-4, 22 ko) looked like himself; not a faded former champion trying to reclaim
