   <description>
   Guillermo Jones upset Denis Lebedev via 11th-round knockout to regain the WBA cruiserweight title Friday night. Jones (39-3-2, 31 KOs) dominated the fight and Lebedev's (25-2, 19 KOs) right eye became swollen before he was sent to the canvas in the final minute of the 11th round. Also on the card, Alexander Povetkin kept his WBA heavyweight title with a third-round TKO of Andrzej Wawrzyk. Povetkin (26-0, 18 KOs) sent Wawrzyk (27-1,

   I've been a boxing fan for more than 30 years. That means I've seen most of my generation's nominees for the greatest fight of all time, most notably the first Pryor-Arguello duel in 1982, the Hagler- Hearns mini-masterpiece in 1985 and the epic to-and-fro between Diego Corrales and Jose Luis Castillo exactly two decades later. Gun to my head the last of those three matches is the best I've ever seen. Of course, over that same time frame, ther

   <title>Even at 36, Mayweather is still 'Money'</title>

   <description>
   Some follow-up thoughts after the best sports Saturday of the year - Derby Day followed by Mayweather night. Magnificent Mayweather: One day, perhaps he'll convince people that he is what he says he is - one of the greatest fighters of all time. In the mean time, it seems "Money" will simply have to go about his business winning fights, and leave those chats for others. To these eyes, the one-sided clinic against Guerrero simply added to a pile of evi

   <description>
   Floyd Mayweather remained unbeaten with a unanimous decision over Robert Guerrero to retain his WBC Welterweight Belt on Saturday night. The 36-year-old Mayweather (44-0) took a 117-111 score from all three judges over the 30-year-old contender Guerrero (31-2-1) Using footwork and counters to keep Guerrero at bay and off-balance, Mayweather got the first solid punch of the fight when he caught Guerrero in the face with a straight r

   Sergio Martinez defended his WBC middleweight championship belt by beating previously undefeated Martin Murray in a unanimous 12-round decision at the Club Atletico Velez Sarsfield in Buenos Aires. Despite suffering a cut to his left eye in round six and being sent to the ground in round eight, the 38-year-old Martinez (51-2-2) persevered by outboxing the British fighter in the final two rounds. Murray (25-1-1) delive

   <title>Gordon still living the fight fan's dream</title>

   <description>
   If you watched ESPN on Thursday nights in the early 1980s, you knew Randy Gordon. The Brooklyn native was a signature voice of analysis on the fledgling network's "Top Rank Boxing" shows, working alongside blow-by-blow man Sal Marchiano on shows that featured future champions, top contenders and cult heroes like Kenny "Bang Bang" Bogner and Terrence Alli. He was also a stalwart in print magazines -- including a stint at The Ring as a colleague of B

Trout, who was making the fifth defense of his WBA title, was sent to the canvas for the fir

   <title>'Truth' is, Carl Williams was a really good fighter</title>

   <description>
   When Carl Williams climbed the ring steps to face a prime, unbeaten Mike Tyson in July of 1989, I don't recall a lot of people yelling that "The Truth" would put an end to what had been nearly a three-year heavyweight reign of menace. In fact, I probably was the only one. I'd just as soon chalk it up to the ignorance of youth, but back then, as best pal Rob Moody and I settled into his living room to catch the match on HBO, I wasn't at a
