It is new years eve and what better way to end the year than to reflect on some of the great boxing match ups of the past twelve months. HBO have hosted some action packed and fierce fights this year and chose to feature seven of them for free online. Although this is not visible from our UK region, there are other ways to acquire the couple of fights on their list that I haven’t seen (F#*k you HBO).
For now, this simple taster video will have to serve as a reminder of these incredible fights.

Bloodyelbow just posted a great article to promote UFC on FOX5. It looks at Nate Diaz’s unorthodox boxing technique and compares it to the striking used by 18th and 19th century pugilists. There is a link within the article to an older one that looks at Nick Diaz which is also worth checking out.
This weekend WILL be awesome, Pacquiao vs Marquez IV AND UFC on Fox 5… if your fists don’t have boners then there is something wrong with you.
If you didn’t know, Pacquiao and Marquez share a storied history. Each of their previous three fights have been razor close and seem to always be surrounded in some kind of controversy. Marquez fights with a style that draws the worst out of Manny and has the very real potential to pull off a win against his long-time rival tomorrow night. As an apology for not posting in a while how about you check out ALL THREE of their fights below:

We may have already done a few posts about The Ultimate Fighter Season 15 already – which is nuts as the show hasn’t even started, but it is because we are just so damn excited about it. I dare you to watch this trailer and not feel the same excitement we do. Touch it, feel it, let it grow deep inside you. The excitement I mean.
This video demonstrates how we have evolved from violent primitive primates into the slightly less primitive but slightly more violent primates we are today.
If you believe in God then look away now, this trailer is only for VIOLENT MEN OF MODERN SCIENCE!
