Photo by Francois Nel/Getty Images Carl Frampton said if he lost to Jamel Herring, he would retire from boxing, and that’s what he’s doing. Herring fairly well dominated their fight in Dubai, retaining the WBO junior lightweight title via sixth round stoppage following two knockdowns in what became a one-sided affair despite the best, grittiest efforts of Frampton. “I said before I would retire if I lost this fight, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do,” thje Belfast native said. “I’ve been away so long, I’ve missed (my kids) growing up. I just want to dedicate my life to...

Photo by Francois Nel/Getty Images Former four-division titleholder Donnie Nietes got back in action today in Dubai, scoring a decision win over Pablo Carrillo and putting himself back into the mix at 115 lbs. Nietes (43-1-5, 23 KO) certainly had to shake some rust and didn’t look completely at his best here, and one judge did have it very close, scoring the bout 96-95 for Nietes. But the other two were wider, scoring it 98-92 and 99-91, and Bad Left Hook also had it 98-92. The 38-yearold Nietes seemed to warm to the fight in the latter stages, looking sharp and sound still in the final fou...

Claressa Shields becomes undisputed 154 lbs champion with shutout win vs. Marie-Eve Dicaire Share this story Fite TV Claressa Shields’ (11-0, 2 KOs) pay-per-view main event debut went as expected, with the two-time Olympic gold medalist picking apart Marie-Eve Dicaire (17-1, 0 KOs) in a shutout unanimous decision (100-90 x3) to become the undisputed junior middleweight champion — meaning she possesses the WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO belts.

Amanda Westcott/SHOWTIME Adrien Broner got back in action tonight on Showtime, out-pointing Jovanie Santiago over 12 rounds, but it wasn’t an easy night by any estimation. Related Judges had it 115-112, 116-111, and 117-110 for Broner, so, well, maybe relatively easy on a couple of their cards, while Bad Left Hook had it 114-113 Broner, with a questionable point deduction saving him from a draw on our unofficial card. Showtime’s Steve Farhood scored it 114-113 for the heavy underdog Santiago, which earned Broner’s score after the fight during his interview with Brian Custer. Broner ...

Tom Hogan-HoganPhotos/Golden Boy Promotions Joseph Diaz Jr missed weight on Friday and couldn’t retain his IBF junior lightweight title, but Shavkat Rakhimov didn’t get the judges going his way to take it for himself either, leaving the 130-pound belt vacant after a majority draw on DAZN. Judges had the fight 114-114, 114-114, and 115-113, the last card for Diaz. Bad Left Hook scored the bout 116-112 and 116-112 on separate cards, both giving the fight to Diaz, for what that’s worth. DAZN’s Chris Mannix had it 114-114. Diaz (31-1-1, 15 KO) was nearly four pounds overweight on Friday, ...
