\nAs both winter and the March break wind down the sport of boxing appears to be winding up. Over the last two weeks we\u2019ve enjoyed a sudden spike in the color and quality of featured bouts, not the least of which saw today\u2019s pound per pound best fighter defend both his WBO welterweight title and current status as the best of the best. At the higher end of the weight scale we got to see IBF\/WBO heavyweight champion once again demonstrate his dominance inside the squared-circle in a bout that was framed by the recent ring appearances of two rising contenders in features that could best be considered a prelude to a dance one day with \u201cDr. Steelehammer\u201d. \u201cAlexander Povetkin \u2013 Dedicated, Willing and on a Mission\u201d and \u201cOdlanier Solis \u2013 A Cuban Not Easily Smoked\u201d are two very timely discussions by yours truly that focus on two undefeated and very talented heavyweight hopefuls from two very divergent worlds but of quality amateur pedigree that has translated into carefully mapped success in the professional ranks.<\/p>\n

Rounding out matters on big bouts down the road, \u201cVazquez-Marquez IV Formally Announced\u201d by OKMike is a \u201clighting of the candle\u201d, so to speak, regarding the next and quite likely last chapter of the opposing ring duo Israel Vazquez and Rafael Marquez. It\u2019s a dice role on the possible outcome as much as it is a discussion on what fate will have in store for either man, on a match the elements of which all but guarantee another classic in the making.<\/p>\n

The RSR April Prediction League is now posted. Historically we\u2019ve put out the best and deepest prediction league that can be found anywhere on the web. It\u2019s so much more than just getting the outcome right, it\u2019s about understanding the nuances of the fight game, how timing, politics, strengths and weaknesses mesh with Lady Luck \u2013 and how it can all come together in the face of mass decent \u2013 or come crashing down despite every conceivable shred of logic and evidence supporting it. For April, thirty top-flight contests round out what I believe to be a terrific inaugural roster to go with our updated look. I will be locking the thread on Friday April 2nd at 7pm EST. Take part if you dare. Act now using the link to submit your request.<\/p>\n
