Fernando Montiel knew he needed to perform better than his previous fight if he wanted to remain the WBO bantamweight champion.

Deyon Christie doesn’t miss football. The Western High School sophomore hits plenty of people without needing any help. And he hates losing, especially when his teammates let him down.
Strange things seem to be happening to Nonito Donaire, through no fault of his own.
Fernando Montiel has been around boxing long enough to know not to look past his next fight, understanding it’s always possible that future bout might never come.
If he were to get a dollar for every question about steroids he’ll be asked between now and his May 1 fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr., Shane Mosley figures, he wouldn’t need to climb into the MGM Grand Garden ring to collect his reported $15 million purse.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. finalized a deal Wednesday to fight Sugar Shane Mosley on May 1 in a welterweight bout at the MGM Grand Garden.

Sequels usually turn out to be flops. But that wasn’t the case in the second meeting between Gabriel Campillo and Beibut Shumenov. Campillo, the WBA light heavyweight champion, had won a majority decision the first time the two fought in August. On Friday, it was every bit as close and every bit as controversial in the rematch at the Hard Rock Hotel. In just his 10th professional fight, Shumenov wrested the belt from Campillo, earning a 12-round split decision that left the former champion and his camp crying foul.
Beibut Shumenov realized he had to change his boxing style if he was ever going to win a world championship.
Gabriel Campillo has not had any problems venturing into enemy territory, which in boxing can prove hazardous to one’s record, not to mention one’s health.
LOS ANGELES — Oscar De La Hoya said he thinks his promotions company soon will wrap up a deal for Floyd Mayweather Jr. to fight Sugar Shane Mosley in May.
