Philadelphia (Abril 20, 2015)— Kini nga milabay nga Sabado sa gabii, boxing fans witnessed a classic bout that saw Lucas Matthysse eek out a close majority decision over Ruslan Provodnikov diha sa usa ka 12 round -junior welterweight clash in front of a sold out crowd at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.
Ang bout, which was televised by HBO Boxing After Dark, has already jumped to the head of the list for 2015 Fight sa Tuig.
Much of the post fight talk has centered around the courage of Provodnikov, as he fought eleven of the twelve rounds with a severely cut left eye that was due to an accidental headbutt. With blood streaming down the left side of his face, and his eye closing, Provodnikov fought heroically to come back and hurt Matthysse several times during the bout, and in round eleven he landed a left hook that nearly sent Matthysse to the canvas.
Many at ringside, including The Bleacher Report, HBO’s Harold Lederman, Steve Kim of UCNlive.com, & Dan Rafael of ESPN.com, scored the bout even at 114-114.
“I could not be any more proud of Ruslan, said Banner Promotions Promotions Artie Pelullo.
“Sabado night showed that he is the toughest and most compelling fighter in boxing. Sabado sa fight also solidified that Ruslan is the most television friendly fighter in the sport hands down, and there will be many more big fights for Ruslan in the near future.”

Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao Square Off
Sa Laing Classic Showdown

Sa Ang welterweight Division

LAS VEGAS (Abril 20, 2015) — Kini sa kanunay nga miingon nga “ingon nga ang mga heavyweight division moadto, mao nga moadto boxing,” apan nga dili kanunay sa kaso ug, sa pagkatinuod, mahimo nga bisan wala balido sa dihang gitan-aw gikan sa usa ka komprehensibo nga panglantaw sa pagpakig-date balik sa ulahing bahin sa 19th nga siglo. Sa Boxing, German nga awtor nga Bertram ni Job epiko, 420-panid kape-lamesa dissertation sa tanan nga mga bahin sa matam-is nga siyensiya, nga siya misulat nga, “Katahom mao ang ilhanan sa mga slim ug nimble mga bitoon sa ubos sa 147-pound weight class nga nakadani insiders ug mga admirers sa katahum walay sama.”

 

Ug mao nga kini mao ang uban sa kon unsa ang mahimong laing batakan entry sa dato kasaysayan sa division sa diha nga, saMayo 2 sa MGM Grand sa Las Vegas, mabuhi sa pay-per-view, welterweight champion Floyd “Salapi” Mayweather (47-0, 26 KOs) makakuha sa mga kauban sa titlist Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao(57-5-2, 38 KOs) sa usa ka taas nga-gipaabut nga unification showdown nga mahimong ang labing adunahan nga prizefight sa sport sa kasaysayan, ug nga inibut nga mga pagtandi sa pipila sa una nga diha sa usa ka gibug-aton sa matchups klase nga napatik sa nga elegante, maambong marka sa pamatigayon nga Job gihisgotan.

 

Bisan tuod Pacquiao, ang bugtong fighter nga walay katapusan aron sa pagdaug sa kalibutan championships sa walo ka gibug-aton sa mga klase, ug Mayweather, nga naghari sa lima ka gibug-aton sa mga klase, wala kampanya lamang o bisan sa kasagaran welterweights, kini mao ang halos dili usa ka kalit nga nga ang labing importante nga intersection sa ilang talagsaong karera moabut sa mao nga division nga sa ingon sa daghan sa boxing sa labing dako nga mga leyenda sa panguna mga nailhan.

 

Ang “bulawan nga sumbanan” nga ang tanan nga welterweights naninguha nagpabilin sa ulahing bahin sa, dakung Sugar Ray Robinson. Natawo Walker Smith Jr., ang niwang nga nating kanding nga wala nakig-away diha sa usa ka pagtugot sa bisan unsa nga ang-ang bout mao ang usa ka tag-uban sa coach George Gainford sa usa ka amateur tournament sa Kingston, N.Y.. Gipangutana kon siya may usa ka flyweight siya buot sa pagsulod, Gainford mao ang mahitungod sa pag-ingon og dili kon Smith mibira sa iyang bukton, ug miingon, “Ko sa pagpakig-away.” Ingon sa nahitabo, Gainford may usa ka AAU card – imong gikinahanglan sa usa nga certified nga ingon sa usa ka non-propesyonal nga – sa ngalan sa Ray Robinson, usa sa iyang mga boksidor nga gihatag sa sport. Smith / Robinson midaog sa usa ka upat ka-round decision, ug, bisan tuod walay usa nga nasayud niini unya, sa ingon nga sa usa ka sugilanon nga natawo.

 

Robinson si 85-0 ingon sa usa ka amateur sa atubangan milingi pro sa 19 sa 1940. Pinaagi sa 1951, siya 128-1-2 uban sa 84 knockout mga kadaugan. Bisan tuod siya usab nahinumdum sa pagdaog sa middleweight title sa lima ka mga panahon, Robinson wala gayud nawad-an sa ingon nga sa usa ka welterweight, winning sa kanunay ug sa ingon gayod nga ang mga legendary trainer, Eddie Futch, natukmod sa makita nga, “Siya adunay tanan nga mga butang. Boxing mga kahanas, punching nga gahum, sa usa ka dakung suwang, mental nga kalig-on. Walay bisan unsa nga siya dili buhaton.”

 

Robinson usab adunay usa ka outsized ego, nga tingali mao ang usa ka gikinahanglan nga component sa bisan unsa nga dako nga fighter sa mental ap. Bisan ang usa ka pagsubay sa pagduha-duha sa usa ka sa kaugalingong katakos dili angay sa kalampusan sa mga singsing. Sa higayon nga, sa dihang gipangutana bahin sa iyang “golf game,” Muhammad Ali, nga wala play golf, mitubag, “Ako ang labing maayo nga, labing dako sa 'em sa tanan nga mga. Ako lang nga wala nanaghoni pa.”

 

Mayweather makahatag gayod nga aura sa pagkadili-mapildi sa iyang buhat, ug tingali dili lang tungod kay siya pa mawad-an sa ingon nga sa usa ka propesyonal nga. Sa 2013, siya miingon, “Siyempre mibati ko nga walay makapildi. Ako ang labing maayo nga. Ako dili sa bisan unsa nga away nga gihisgotan nga ako beatable. I want to make a legacy for myself as the greatest fighter who ever entered the ring.”

 

Pacquiao, while perhaps not as verbose, is no less secure in his own belief system. It is those heaping measures of talent and swagger that make Mayweather vs. Pacquiao a must-see event. Which of these outstanding fighters can make the other bend to his will? Who will have his name written in larger print in the big book of welterweights?

 

The International Boxing Hall of Fame has inducted 23 fighters who were, at one time or another, welterweight champions. In addition to Robinson, those whose plaques grace the hallowed hall include Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, Oscar De La Hoya, Felix Trinidad, Julio Cesar Chavez, Pernell Whitaker, Carmen Basilio, Henry Armstrong, Emile Griffith, Pipino Cuevas, Jose Napoles, Curtis Cokes, Barney Ross, Kid Gavilan, Wilfred Benitez, Luis Rodriguez, Mickey Walker, Fritzie Zivic, Jack Britton, Jackie Fields, Ted “Kid” Lewis and “Mysterious” Billy Smith. Mayweather and Pacquiao are of course assured of joining their ranks as soon as they become eligible to go onto the ballot.

 

The lead-up to Mayweather vs. Pacquiao has generated no shortage of comparisons to past welterweight clashes that are notable for the classic nature of those bouts, the widespread public interest attendant to them, or both.

 

Is Mayweather vs. Pacquiao more likely to be a repeat of, ingon, Leonard-Duran I, which Duran won on a rousing unanimous decision on June 25, 1980, sa Montreal? The epic Leonard-Hearns I, sa Sept. 16, 1981, which saw Leonard, trailing on the scorecards, rally for a dramatic, 14th-round TKO at Caesars Palace? Trinidad’s controversial majority decision over De La Hoya in their Sept. 18, 1999, unification showdown at the Mandalay Bay? Or will it make its own mark in such a distinctive way that no comparisons can or should be drawn?

 

When it comes to unforgettable welterweight bouts, by now it should be obvious that anything and everything is possible. Mayweather and Pacquiao will make history, and add to it, by attempting to bend destiny each to their own purpose.

Jimmy Slattery book author Rick Blake to be Ring 8 Guest Speaker Tuesday night in New York

Leave sa usa ka comment

NEW YORK (Apr. 20, 2015) – Author Rich Blake mahimong ugma sa gabii sa (Martes, Abril 21) special Ring 8 guest speaker at O’Neill’s Restaurant, nga nahimutang sa 64-21 53rd Drive in Maspeth, New York.

Blake is a veteran New York City-based author who has written, Slats: The Legend & Life of Jimmy Slattery, to be released next month by publisher No Frills Buffalo. Blake is best known for covering the financial world for numerous publications, including Institutional Investor, ABCNews.com and Reuters HedgeWorld. He was a co-founder and executive editor of Trader Monthly magazine. The 46-year-old Buffalo native is the author of two non-fiction books, The Day Donny Herbert Woke Up ug Talking Proud: Rediscovering the Magical Season of the 1980 buffalo Bills. He also is co-author of a third work of non-fiction, Diary of a Hedge Fund Manager.

Slattery personified the Golden Era of sports during the boom/bust 1920s and ’30s.

The sleek, handsome, lightning-fast Slattery was a phantom in the ring, soaring across the national stage like a comet before crashing into oblivion. Discarded by the ages, Blake’s book is the incredible true story of the Irish boy-wonder who captivated the boxing world at its peak.

 

At Ring 8’s monthly meeting ugma gabii, Blake will recount his research into Slattery’s early burst to fame in the metropolitan area during the spring of 1924, sharing some highlights of what he uncovered like tying in Queens fight promoter Simon “Si” Flaherty, the Queensboro A.C. in Long Island City and the Queensboro Bowl, which was expanded in the spring of 1924 as part of efforts by Flaherty and Paddy Mullins to land a Jack Dempsey-Harry Wills fight that, Subo, never came materialized. Blake will also speak about how the New York City fire department condemned the club’s stadium built at the base of the Queensboro Bridge and how Flaherty managed to get around that.

He also served in the United States Army during the Korean War, earning the rank of Sergeant, and later was elected to serve on the Seneca Nation of Indians Tribal Council.

In the night’s televised 10-round main event, Canada’s popular, world-rated and fast-rising lightweight star Tony “Kilat” Luis (19-3, 7 KOs) will fight for a regional championship against an opponent TBA. This past weekend, Luis dropped a controversial decision to Derry Mathews in Liverpool, England (38-9-2, 20KOs), where the two battled for the interim WBA Lightweight title.

Sa televised co-bahin, brand-new NABA-US Super Welterweight Champion and WBA #12- ug IBF # 11-rated “Hurricane” Dennis Hogan (21-0-1, 7 KOs), of Australia, pinaagi sa Kildare, Ireland, will take on comebacking Kenny Abril (14-7-1, 7 KOs) sa Rochester, New York.

Before the highly debatable decision loss for the world championship in mid-April, the 27-year-old Tony Luis, gikan sa Cornwall, Ontario, pulled off a dominant 10-round unanimous-decision upset victory over then IBF #15 rated Karl “Dinamita” Dargan in January.

Hogan is the current NABA-US Super Welterweight Champion. Sa iyang upat-ka-tuig nga pro career, Hogan has also won the WBA Oceania Light Middleweight, Queensland State Super Middleweight, Queensland State middleweight ug Australian middleweight Championships.

Kenny Abril, a 30-year-old southpaw, started boxing at age seven and had 120 amateur bouts before turning professional in 2003. He has faced several undefeated and top contenders, scoring a late-2012 victory over heavily decorated veteran Dennis Laurente, which is still Laurente’s only loss in the last nine years.

Prior to boxing professionally, 26-year-old Jarrell Miller had a three-year, undefeated (18-0) kickboxing and MMA career. As a boxer, he was a New York Golden Gloves finalist and has worked as chief sparring partner for both Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko.

“I’m excited to be helping bring nationally televised championship boxing to a world-class venue such as the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino,” miingon promoter Greg Cohen. “Tony Luis has a huge fan following in his nearby native Canada. His supporters will be out in force to watch. Kenny Abril is from nearby Rochester, New York and he’ll have a giant following in attendance as well. On the undercard will be several local favorites in exciting match-ups. I’m proud to be part of this great event and the resurgence of televised professional boxing.”

Several other exciting match-ups will be announced soon.

The event is being conducted under the rules and regulations of the Seneca Nation of Indians Athletic Commission, whose members are Scott Snyder, Sean Crane, and Justin Schapp.

“We look forward to welcoming the boxers and their teams to Seneca territory,” Commissioner Snyder said. “As a Commission, our primary focus is to ensure the safety and well-being of the fighters who will be competing at Seneca Niagara. We will be working with the fighters, promoters and everyone involved to ensure that we have a safe and enjoyable evening of sports entertainment.”

Hogan Outworks Brunson on CBS Sports Network Night of Boxing

Leave sa usa ka comment


Photos by Jesse Kelley

Australia via Kildare, Ireland sa WBA #12- ug IBF # 11-rated “Hurricane” Dennis Hogan (21-0-1, 7 KOs) cruised to an entertaining and workmanlike 10-round decision over Philadelphia’s Tyrone “Young Gun” Brunson (22-5-1, 21 KOs) karong gabii, sa main event sa “Championship Boxing sa CBS Sports Network” at the Grand Casino Hinckley in Hinckley, Minnesota.

Fighting in front of an appreciative sold-out crowd, Hogan outworked the careful Brunson in the majority of rounds to win by scores of 96-94, 98-92 ug 97-93 and in the process, picked up the World Boxing Association’s NABA-US Super Welterweight Championship.

Hogan closed the show well and seemed to hurt Brunson with a series of clubbing shots. But Brunson was able to survive the onslaught.

Brunson, who seems to have morphed into a counter puncher since his days as the King of the KO 1 earlier in his career, had a good round eight and seemed to hurt Hogan with a right. He kept it interesting throughout by catching Hogan coming in with right hands.

Gipresentar ni Greg Cohen Promotions sa pagpakig-uban sa Adan Wilcock ni Fight Card Promotions ug gipatungha ni David Schuster ni Winner Kuhaa ang tanan nga Productions “Championship Boxing sa CBS Sports Network” was the debut CBS-televised effort from the promotional team.

Several thudding knockouts punctuated the rest of the night’s action.

In the night’s co-main event, lightweight slugger Ismael Barroso made quick work of Memphis, Tennessee veteran Ira Terry, knocking him out inside of a round.

The southpaw Barroso, sa El Tigre, Venezuela, moved his record to 18-0-2, 17 KOs by flattening Terry (karon 26-14, 16 KOs) with a devastating left hand. Barroso’s reputation seems to grow with every frightening performance. Terry tried moving to his left and being elusive, but it only took one shot from Barroso’s cement fists. Referee Mark Nelson began a count when Terry went down, but quickly waved it off at 2:49.

Sa pasiunang duwa televised, Saint Paul, Minnesota, middleweight prospect Rob “Maayo Done” Brant (15-0, 9 KOs)made surprisingly easy work of Miami via Colombia’s Dionisio Miranda (22-11-2, 19 KOs), dropping him for the full count at 2:40 sa round sa duha ka.

Brant showed superior quickness while landing his rangy shots form outside. A right hand started the trouble for the normally durable Miranda. The follow-up volley forced Miranda down and he elected, probably wisely, not to rise. The crowd-favorite Brant remains undefeated and now has a KO win over a quality mid-level opponent on his resume.

In what turned out to be a televised swing bout, American heavyweight prospect Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller, sa Brooklyn, New York, moved his impressive record to 12-0-1, 10 KOs by knocking out Nairobi, Kenya’s Raymond “Hari Kong” Ochieng (26-19-3, 21 KOs) sa 1:40of the very first round.

Miller placed his heavy, accurate shots inside the wild swings of the game Ochieng and caught him with a strong combination against the ropes. Ochieng went down and referee Gary Miezwa waved it off without counting, probably prematurely.

Bisan pa niana, the charismatic Miller looked like a solid prospect taking out a useful veteran in Ochieng, who had gone 10 rounds with Alexander Petkovic in his last fight and handed 36-1 David Rodriguez a TKO 1 loss last July.

San Antonio, Texas, super bantamweight Adam “Mantequilla” Lopez (11-0, 6 KOs) furthered his reputation as an up-and-coming prospect by levelling Saint Paul, Minnesota’s Philip Adyaka (4-5, 2 KOs) with a monstrous left hook at 58 seconds of round two. 24-year-old Lopez was too big and too powerful for the smaller Adyaka. Lopez impressed, showing off his world-class weaponry while banging to the head and body, especially with the left hook. Adyaka bravely tried to rise, but stumbled back into the ropes and the fight was waved off.

In a six-round heavyweight match-up, fan favorite Joey “Minnesota Ice” Abell (30-8, 29 KOs) of nearby Coon Rapids, Minnesota, started his comeback by stopping journeyman Travis “Iron Man” Fulton (22-39-1, 21 KOs) of Cedar Falls, Iowa in three rounds. Out of the ring for more than a year, the southpaw Abell finally shook off the rust and got through with a volley of punches against the ropes, which badly stunned Fulton. The came at 34 seconds with Fulton dazed but still standing. I’m starting over. I want to get a couple wins and hopefully get a big fight here,” said Abell, post-away. Subo nga, Abell slipped awkwardly in the first round and reportedly suffered a serious ankle injury.

In a four-round, all-Minneapolis super heavyweight showdown to open the night, 316-lb Van “Ang Tawo” Goodman, karon 4-5-2, 4 KOs, picked up a good win over299-lb Brett Murphy, karon 1-1, 1 KO via TKO 2. Murphy was down in round one and twice more in round two. A tidy left uppercut was the finishing shot. Ang panahon sa stoppage mao 1:38.

Provodnikov came back later in the round with some solid combinations and landed some furious shots to Matthysse’s head. Matthysse had a nice bounce back round five as he landed some hard jabs to the face of an oncoming Provodnikov.

The war continued through the middle rounds as both fighters went toe to toe while Matthysse landed combinations from distance and Provodnikov went on the offensive and continued to brawl. Provodikov had a strong round eleven as he landed a hard left to the top of the head that buckled Matthysse and the Argentinian was forced to hold on. The two waged a final flurry in round twelve and it was Matthysse the former WBC champion won via majority decision with scores of 115-113 makaduha ug 114-114.

“I think I dominated the fight, I knew I had the best hits,” Sa'id Lucas Matthysse. “Ruslan is a tough fighter, he took everything I threw at him. Ako adunay usa ka daghan sa pagtahod alang kaniya. There was a point when I thought that they would stop the fight because of Ruslan’s cut, but his team was able to control it. I hurt my hand in the sixth round, but I kept going because I wanted to prove that I am the best in the division and that I am ready for the toughest fighters. I want to move forward and fight the winner of Mayweather-Pacquiao.”

“He is the hardest puncher I have ever fought but I fight as hard as I can to the very end,” Miingon Provodnikov. “I never want the fight stopped. The only time would be when I am on my back.”

I did want the knockout towards the end, but I didn’t get it.”

Will Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Live up to the Hype?

Leave sa usa ka comment

Pinaagi sa: Rich Bergeron

Floyd “Salapi” Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26 KOs) and Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 KOs) are set to clash on May 2nd, 2015 in one of the most hyped fights in boxing history. This fight is so huge they are even planning to sell tickets to the weigh-in due to crowd control issues. The proceeds will not be going to the promoters or the boxers, bisan. It all goes to charity. Bisan pa, this is a first for the state of Nevada, which traditionally requires that all weigh-ins be free of charge for fans to attend.

The level of anticipation surrounding this fight had a long time to build up. For the better part of the last decade, these two pound-for-pound juggernauts could not make this fight happen for one ridiculous reason after another. As someone who personally attended some of Mayweather’s public workouts in Vegas, I can attest to the fact that the undefeated welterweight champion repeatedly and relentlessly cited Pacquiao’s refusal to undergo Olympic style blood testing when asked about the attempts being made to get this fight signed over five years ago.

Mayweather even came up with a little rap lyric to express the issue in simple terms:

“If you wanna fight the best, you gotta take the test,” he belted out during a sit-up session at one of those open workouts.

Pacquiao changed his tune on the testing and overcame the biggest hurdle of all when he met personally with Mayweather and agreed that he would be the “B” side and should therefore get a smaller split of the purse. As the video above outlines, Mayweather was then able to dominate the negotiation process.

Although pundits still say this fight will be the biggest in the history of the sport, the question must be asked if this pairing is happening too late in the careers of both fighters for it to be as exciting as some experts predict it will be.

It was always clear to me this fight would happen, but it became obvious that the longer it took to sign the contracts, the better Floyd’s chances of winning would be. Bisan pa, Floyd did admit in 2012 nga the real reason he didn’t want to fight Pacquiao was due to health concerns. He denied being scared, calling himself “smart” for thinking about his family and his health first. Bisan pa, he insisted that the main reason his health would be at risk in that fight was if Pacquiao was really doing steroids, as Mayweather alleged and ended up being sued over. The two settled out of court and the fight is now imminent, so some fans think it’s all water under the bridge. Others are just plain aggravated that we had to wait this long for this bout to come to fruition.

Boxing Legend Marvin Hagler even commented recently that Mayweather waited until Pacquiao aged a little more before signing to fight him. Hagler compared Mayweather’s tactics to Sugar Ray Leonard waiting until Hagler became a little “soft” himself before they signed their fight contract. That bout turned out to be hugely controversial and left Hagler extremely bitter about the sport that made him famous.

Busa, the May-Pac fight will happen, and Mayweather is the obvious favorite. To learn more about the gambling side of this story, check sa Boxing betting at William Hill site. The biggest payoff for any lucky bettor will be a successful bet on Pacquiao, but it’s easy to wonder if Pacquiao really is too old to win this time out. After all, there are tons of concerns with Manny’s calf muscles seizing up, and he reportedly uses a healing cream that costs thousands of dollars per bottle to address the problem.

Mayweather (38) is actually the older fighter, but the 36-year-old Manny’s fought 17 more bouts in the pro ranks and will likely be the most active puncher “Salapi” ever faced. Mayweather’s normally spectacular and overwhelming defensive prowess just might be tested.

This fight may not be worth every penny you spend on tickets or the Pay-Per-View feed, but the fact that it is finally happening is still special. It will still be a fight boxing fans everywhere around the world can enjoy and appreciate. It’s ultimately up to the fighters to prove they are both up to the task of making sure this fight lives up to expectations. Chances are, Floyd will do his best to leave the MGM Grand with an uneventful decision win. Let’s just hope Pacquiao has enough left in the tank to make sure this is the most competitive fight Mayweather’s ever been in. It may not be the most opportune time for this fight to happen, but it’s a lot better to get it late than never.

Undefeated junior middleweight
Tony Harrison rolls to 21st kadaugan

Aquino shocks Kielczweski,

Farmer wins 11th straight fight

Tony Harrison (L) was too much for Pablo Munguia

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (Abril 17, 2015) – Undefeated junior middleweight Tony Harrison rolled to his 21st straight victory in karong gabii sa ESPN Biyernes Night away main event, presented by DiBella Entertainment in association with New Legend Boxing, sa Mohegan Sun Arena.

 

Harrison (21-0, 18 KOs), fighting out of Detroit, nagpatulo Pablo Munguia (20-7, 11 KOs) at the end of the second round with a powerful punch. Munguia was examined between rounds by the ring doctor. Referee Arthur Mercante needed only 11 seconds into the next round to determine that the Mexican was unable to be competitive, awarding Harrison a victory by technical knockout.

 

“I’m looking for whoever Al HAYMON puts me in with,” 24-year-old Harrison remarked. “I’m from Detroit. I’ve never said ‘no’ to an opponent I was offered, which says a lot about me. We have a lot of heart in Detroit. I’m ready for a big fight. I got him with a step-back overhand right. I wish they had let it go a little longer. I wanted to finish him, but the bell went off.”

 
Danny Aquino (L) and Ryan Kielczweski put on a real show

 

Connecticut fan favorite, Mexican-born Danny Aquino (17-2, 10 KOs), upset previously undefeated Massachusetts featherweight Ryan “Ang Polish nga Prince” Kielczweski (22-1, 6 KOs) by way of an eight-round split decision in an entertaining co-feature event for New England bragging rights. The aggressive-fighting Aquino kept coming forward throughout the fight, as Kielczweski effectively counter-punched. Neither fighter was remotely hurt in the action-packed clash of gifted boxers.

 

Aquino defeated Kielczweski the one time they fought in the amateurs. “Because of his record,” Aquino commented, “this was the biggest win of my career. It was extra special winning my first ESPN fight, usab. I think my aggressiveness was the difference. He was moving around and I had to keep putting pressure on him to make it my fight, not his fight. I hope this fight will give me opportunities and I’ll take the best.”

 

“It was definitely a tough fight,” Kielczweski noted. “Making weight definitely took a lot out of me. I think I boxed well, landed the harder shots and blocked most of his. I guess the judges likes his aggression, but I thought I won the fight.”

 
Tevin Mag-uuma (R) won his 11th fight in a row

Sa pag-abli sa telebisyon away, Philadelphia junior lightweight Tevin “American Idol” Farmer (19-4-1, 4 KOs) won his 11th straight fight, winning a unanimous eight-round decision over previously unbeaten Angel “Ang Cat” Luna (10-1-1, 6 KOs), sa Brooklyn, in a very competitive fight.

 

“Mibati ko og dakong,” Farmer said after the fight. “That’s exactly what I wanted to show. I wanted to show a lot of different dimensions. TV wants guys who can punch and box, the total package, and I showed that karong gabii. I feel that I’m ready for a top 10 contender and showed karong gabii that I belong among the best.”

 

Ghanaian southpaw Lennox “2 Sharpe” Allen (19-0-1, 12 KOs), fighting out of New York City, overcame a flash knockdown at the end of round six to knock out a gamePaul Gonsalves (7-7-1, 3 KOs) in the following round. Allen connected with a straight left hand punch that landed flush on the Cape Cod light heavyweight’s chin.

 

Unbeaten middleweight Alantez “SlyAza” Fox (15-0-1, 5 KOs), fighting out of Maryland, outclassed Dominican invader Franklin Gonzalez (16-14, 10 KOs) on his way to a second-round technical knockout, trapping his opponent against the ropes and unloaded a barrage of unanswered punches until referee Harvey Dock halted the action.

 

Exciting Houston welterweight Regis “Rougarou” PROGRAMA ran his record to 14-0 (12 KOs), pagpahunong Abraham “Swift” Alvarez (19-8-1, 9 KOs) sa 1:28 mark of the opening round. The promising southpaw prospect put his Mexican opponent down with a viscous, straight left to the body.
