The two heavyweights will essentially play out the 1999 movie “Play It to the Bone” in real life as the out-of-the-ring friends meet on August 3 at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles in what is essentially a win-or-go-home situation for both fighters. Miller (26-1-1, 22 knockouts) recalled the conversation he had with Ruiz (35-2, 22 KOs) when he realized that they’d be sharing the ring together. “I picked the phone up and I called Andy.

Ryan Garcia scored the upset of the year, so far, with his dramatic 12-round majority decision over Devin Haney on April 20 in Brooklyn, New York. The Gen-Z star secured the points victory by repeatedly stunning the game-but-outgunned odds favorite and scoring three official knockdowns, however, the performance of his career was marred by his missing weight for what was supposed to be Haney’s first defense of the WBC 140-pound belt.  Haney (31-1, 15 KOs), who entered the anticipated pay-per-view main event as The Ring’s No. 1-rated junior welterweight and No. 6 in the pound-for-pound rank ..read more

Ramon Cardenas was not known for his devastating power up until recent fights. That power saved him from defeat against Jesus Eduardo Ramirez. Cardenas rallied to defeat Ramirez via one-punch knockout Wednesday evening before a sold-out crowd at ProBox TV Events Center in Plant City, Florida.

The idea behind this weekend’s showcase card was to position Vergil Ortiz Jr. for a title shot. That plan is still in play, even if for a manufactured title and the latest broken promise from the WBA. Approval was granted for an interim WBA 154-pound title to be at stake Ortiz’s announced clash versus Sydney’s Tim Tszyu. The unbeaten knockout artist still has to beat Thomas Dulorme this weekend and escape unscathed to preserve the mouthwatering matchup. Assuming the bout goes chalk, Ortiz (20-0, 20 knockouts) and Tszyu (24-1, 17 KOs) will then meet as part of a stacked August 3 show. In no sma ..read more
