Glen Johnson scored an upset in the Super Six super middleweight boxing tournament simply by being part of it.
Johnson, who hasn’t fought at 168 pounds in nearly nine years, will face Allan Green on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden.
An injured thumb delayed Rafael Marquez’s bout against WBO featherweight champion Juan Manuel Lopez, originally scheduled for Sept. 18. The pair will meet Saturday in the main event at the MGM Grand Garden.
Manny Pacquiao insists he’ll be ready when he faces Antonio Margarito on Nov. 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The seven-time world champion has been devoting a lot of time to his new job as a congressman in his native Philippines.
In late August, the son of the Hall of Fame boxing promoter was reported missing in a remote area of North Cascades National Park in Washington state. John Arum’s body was found days later, apparently after the 49-year-old fell some 300 feet while hiking Storm King Mountain.
The Nov. 27 fight between WBA and WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez and Michael Katsidis has finally found a home at the MGM Grand Garden.
