Calzaghe won a split decision last night, desperately rallying in the final rounds against his cagey 43-year-old opponent to remain unbeaten. Hopkins (48-5-1)  knocked down Calzaghe (45-0) with a sneaky right hand just 70 seconds in.http://www.newser.com/story/25079/calzaghe-edges-hopkins-in-split-decision.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSun, 20 Apr 2008 1:02:54 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/23934/mosley-knew-he-was-doping-balco-chief.html?refid=rss_all_defaultShane Mosley was perfectly aware he had taken steroids before defeating Oscar de la Hoya in 2003, claims convicted steroid dealer Victor Conte.

The much taller and stronger Klitschko barely took a punch in beating Russian Sultan Ibragimov for the minor WBO belt in a unanimous decision, reports the Associated Press.http://www.newser.com/story/19897/klitschko-toys-with-ibragimov-for-wbo-title.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSat, 23 Feb 2008 23:50:27 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/13659/champ-delivers-on-ko-promise.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFloyd Mayweather Jr. defended his welterweight crown against British challenger Ricky Hatton last night in 10 rounds. The 147-pound champion showed more punching than dancing, as Hatton kept on the offensive—contrary to the predictions that the bout would be a boring one. Before an overwhelmingly British crowd, Mayweather came through on his guarantee of a knockout.http://www.newser.com/story/13659/champ-delivers-on-ko-promise.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSun, 09 Dec 2007 3:38:42 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/11447/cotto-outlasts-mosley-keeps-title.html?refid=rss_all_defaultMiguel Cotto came out triumphant over Shane Mosley in a well-matched fight last night at Madison Square Garden, ESPN reports.
