Boxer Taunts Opponent, Promptly Gets Knocked Out Cold (Video)
I’m not a boxing expert or anything, but I imagine one of the cardinal rules of the sport would have to be something like, “when you have your opponent on the ropes, don’t let up in order to taunt him.” Unfortunately, nobody ever told this to Miguel Zuniga, and he’s obviously not one of our regular [...]

Picking a winner of the boxing match in the video below, which comes to us from some high school change room, is simple: it’s the dude in the red shorts.

Rocky is one of the most famous sports movies of all time. However, it is the story of the protagonist, everyman Rocky Balboa, and not the boxing action that makes the film so great.

I don’t know about you, but when Ruben Guerrero, father of boxer Roberto Guerrero, called Floyd Mayweather a “woman beater” last week at a press conference, I didn’t really have a problem with it.

Good old Don King is much more than just a legendary boxing promoter with a funny haircut and colorful vocabulary.

Boxer Adrien Broner Pays Woman $200 for Her Spot in Line at the DMV (Video)
Everybody hates going to the DMV. In terms of things people dread doing, renewing drivers licenses is right up there behind having a root canal and getting audited.
