It’s a big night for two unbeaten boxers from Las Vegas.

LOS ANGELES — Timothy Bradley no longer cares whether anyone thinks he won his fight with Manny Pacquiao last year at the MGM Grand Garden. At least that’s what he’s telling everyone who asks about it.
Diego Magdaleno is busy preparing for his April 6 WBO super featherweight title fight against Rocky Martinez in Macau, China. But he’s not too busy to be a role model for Las Vegas’ youth.
Long before he was named executive vice president and general manager of Showtime Sports in November 2011, Stephen Espinoza had a plan.
Bob Arum was in Mexico with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on Thursday during Chavez’s disciplinary hearing with the Nevada Athletic Commission for a positive drug test.
The Tiger, not the Lion, was the king of the canvas Saturday at the Hard Rock Hotel.
Normally, Sharif Bogere’s ring entrance is the highlight of the evening. Tonight, his walk from the ring will be the defining point in the 24-year-old Ugandan’s career.
It would have made sense for Richard Abril to be concerned when his fight against Sharif Bogere was moved last month from New York to Las Vegas.
Now that’s one expensive doobie!
Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Robert Guerrero will have the stage to themselves May 4 at the MGM Grand Garden.
Ishe Smith immediately feared the worst when ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr. uttered the words “split decision” on Saturday night.
Dr. Jerry Buss made his name as the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, and those 10 NBA titles certainly helped establish his celebrity.
DETROIT — Ishe Smith beat Cornelius Bundrage by split decision Saturday night to claim the IBF junior middleweight (154-pound) title.
Ishe Smith had arrived at the Mayweather Boxing Club. As he made his way to a ring to begin his workout, he plopped his equipment bag on the floor.
Now that Robert Guerrero has the fight he has been pursuing for the past two years, he finally can talk about it.
