Angelo Dundee's estate is auctioning the gloves Muhammad Ali wore in his 1971 fight with Joe Frazier (Dundee Estate)If you're a boxing fan and would like a fairly significant piece of the sport's history for your memorabilia collection, be aware that you can now bid on the gloves that Muhammad Ali wore in his epic March 8, 1971, bout with Joe Frazier in New York's Madison Square Garden.

Of course, the gloves are going to wind up costing just a bit more than most folks can afford.

The gloves Muhammad Ali wore to stop Sonny Liston are up for auction (Corbis)The gloves are owned by the estate of Ali's late trainer, Angelo Dundee, who died on Feb. 1 at 90. His estate put them on auction with SCP Auctions. David Kohler, the president and CEO of SCP Auctions, refers to the gloves as "perhaps the most significant piece of boxing memorabilia" to come on the market.

It wasn't uncommon during Ali's time for the trainers to keep things such as the boxer's gloves, trunks and robes. Dundee did that, though not for all of Ali's fights, and amassed quite a large memorabilia collection.

Boxer Hector Camacho Sr. died Nov. 23 after being shot in Bayamon, Puerto Rico (AP)A lot of zaniness surrounded former world champion Hector Camacho during his boxing career. Even in death, "The Macho Man" couldn't get away from it.

Two former girlfriends and the sisters of the boxer, who died on Nov. 23 after having been shot in the face while sitting in a car outside a night club in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, on Nov. 20, got into a brawl at his wake in San Juan.

A 28-year-old woman, Cynthia Castillo, kissed the boxer on the mouth as he was in his casket. Castillo, who said she was Camacho's current girlfriend, walked away from the casket and to the area reserved for the boxer's family.

In an interview with ESPN Deportes, Castillo said she was attacked.

Bryant Jennings (R) celebrates a first-round KO of Chris Koval (AP)Seth Mitchell's demolition at the hands of Johnathon Banks on Nov. 17 in Atlantic City, N.J., should serve as a warning for those ready to anoint a young fighter the next anything.

Mitchell, the erstwhile Michigan State linebacker, had been getting a lot of attention for reeling off 23 consecutive wins and becoming, in theory at least, the top American heavyweight prospect.

But Mitchell had fought a bunch of lesser known and hardly known opponents and didn't have the kind of experience to justify much of the praise he was receiving. Banks, in one of the year's more startling upsets, stopped Mitchell in just the second round.

That's pushed Bryant Jennings, once a high school athlete of some note at Ben Franklin High School in Philadelphia, to the forefront as perhaps the best American-born heavyweight in a very weak field. Jennings, 28, faces unheralded Bowie Tupou on Dec. 8 in Philadelphia in a bout that will be broadcast live on the NBC Sports Network.

Jennings was a defensive end who attracted notice from a number of Division I schools, he said. No matter the sport, he was able to star. Basketball, football, track, it didn't matter.

"I'm had the ability to do a lot of things," Jennings said.

His best ability of all may be his ability to fight. He's 15-0 with seven knockouts and has gone 4-0 in 2012, looking impressive in wins over Mo Byarm, Sergei Liakhovich, Steve Collins and Chris Koval.

But just like Mitchell's resume, Jennings' is filled with guys like Liakhovich, who were at the end of the line, or like Koval, who have essentially been career opponents.
