Philadelphia (April 20, 2015)— Denne sidste Lørdag nat, boxing fans witnessed a classic bout that saw Lucas Matthysse eek out a close majority decision over Ruslan Provodnikov i en 12 round -junior welterweight clash in front of a sold out crowd at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.
Kampen, which was televised by HBO Boxing After Dark, has already jumped to the head of the list for 2015 Fight of the Year.
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.
“Lørdag night showed that he is the toughest and most compelling fighter in boxing. Lørdagens 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.”

147-PUNDVÆGTKLASSEN TAGER CENTRALET igen LØRDAG, MAJ 2 PÅ MGM GRAND GARDEN ARENA

Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao Square Off
I endnu et klassisk showdown

I Welterweight Division

LAS VEGAS (April 20, 2015) — Det er ofte blevet sagt “som divisionen med tungvægt går, så går boksning,” men det har ikke altid været tilfældet og, faktisk, er måske ikke engang gyldig, når den ses fra et omfattende perspektiv, der går helt tilbage til det sene 19th århundrede. I Boksning, Den tyske forfatter Bertram Jobs episke, 420-side sofabord afhandling om alle aspekter af den søde videnskab, han skriver det, “Elegance er varemærket for de slanke og smidige stjerner i en vægtklasse under 147 pund, der har tiltrukket sig insidere og beundrere af skønhed som ingen anden.”

 

Og så er det med, hvad der vil være en anden benchmarkpost i divisionens rige historie, hvornår, påMaj 2 at MGM Grand i Las Vegas, lever på pay-per-view, weltervægt mester Floyd “Penge” Mayweather (47-0, 26 KOS) tager på kollega titliste Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao(57-5-2, 38 KOS) i et længe forventet foreningsmøde, der bliver den rigeste priskamp i sportens historie, og som har trukket sammenligninger med nogle af de førende matchups i en vægtklasse præget med det elegante varemærke, som Job henviste til.

 

Selvom Pacquiao, den eneste fighter nogensinde, der har vundet verdensmesterskaber i otte vægtklasser, og Mayweather, der har regeret i fem vægtklasser, har ikke udelukkende eller endda mest været kampagne som weltervægte, det er næppe en overraskelse, at det vigtigste kryds i deres bemærkelsesværdige karriere kommer i samme division, som så mange af boksens største legender primært er kendt for.

 

Den “guldstandarden” som alle weltervægte stræber efter er den sene, store Sugar Ray Robinson. Født Walker Smith Jr., det tynde barn, der aldrig havde kæmpet i en sanktioneret kamp på noget niveau, var en tag-sammen med træner George Gainford til en amatorturnering i Kingston, N.Y.. Han blev spurgt, om han havde en flyvevægt, han ønskede at komme ind, Gainford var ved at sige nej, da Smith tog i ærmet og sagde, “Jeg kæmper.” Som det viste sig, Gainford havde et AAU-kort – du havde brug for en for at blive certificeret som ikke-professionel – i navnet Ray Robinson, en af ​​hans boksere, der havde opgivet sporten. Smith / Robinson vandt en fire-runde beslutning, og, skønt ingen vidste det dengang, således blev en legende født.

 

Robinson var 85-0 som amatør, inden han bliver professionel 19 i 1940. Ved 1951, han var 128-1-2 med 84 knockout sejre. Selvom han også huskes for at vinde mellemvægtstitlen fem gange, Robinson tabte aldrig som en weltervægt, vinder så ofte og så eftertrykkeligt, at den legendariske træner, Eddie Futch, blev bevæget for at observere det, “Han havde alt. Boksning færdigheder, stansning magt, en stor hage, mental styrke. Der var intet, han ikke kunne gøre.”

 

Robinson havde også et overdimensioneret ego, som måske er en nødvendig komponent til enhver storkæmpers mentale makeup. Selv et spor af tvivl om ens egen evne er ikke befordrende for succes i ringen. Enkelt gang, når du bliver spurgt om hans “golfspil,” Muhammad Ali, der ikke spillede golf, svarede, “Jeg er den bedste, største af dem alle. Jeg har bare ikke spillet endnu.”

 

Mayweather bringer bestemt den aura af uovervindelighed til sit arbejde, og måske ikke bare fordi han endnu ikke har tabt som professionel. I 2013, sagde han, “Selvfølgelig føler jeg mig uovervindelig. Jeg er den bedste. Jeg går ikke ud i nogen kamp for at finde ud af, at jeg er beatable. Jeg vil skabe en arv for mig selv som den største fighter, der nogensinde er kommet ind i ringen.”

 

Pacquiao, mens det måske ikke er så detaljeret, er ikke mindre sikker i sit eget trossystem. Det er de dybe talenter og talent, der får Mayweather vs.. Pacquiao en must-see begivenhed. Hvilke af disse fremragende krigere kan få den anden til at bøje sig efter hans vilje? Hvem får hans navn skrevet med større tryk i den store bog med weltervægte?

 

International Boxing Hall of Fame er optaget 23 krigere, der var, på et eller andet tidspunkt, weltervægtsmestre. Ud over Robinson, dem, hvis plaques pryder den hellige hall, inkluderer 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 og “Mystisk” Billy Smith. Mayweather og Pacquiao er selvfølgelig sikre på at slutte sig til deres rækker, så snart de bliver kvalificerede til at gå på afstemningen.

 

Indledningen til Mayweather vs.. Pacquiao har ikke genereret nogen mangel på sammenligninger med tidligere veltervægtskonflikter, der er bemærkelsesværdige for de klassiske karakterer af disse anfald, den udbredte offentlige interesse, der følger dem, eller begge.

 

Er Mayweather vs.. Pacquiao mere sandsynligt at være en gentagelse af, sige, Leonard-Duran I, som Duran vandt på en ophidsende enstemmig beslutning i juni 25, 1980, i Montreal? Den episke Leonard-Hearns I, på Sept. 16, 1981, som så Leonard, efterfølgende på scorecards, rally for en dramatisk, 14th-runde TKO ved Caesars Palace? Trinidads kontroversielle flertalsafgørelse over De La Hoya i deres sept. 18, 1999, foreningsmøde ved Mandalay Bay? Eller vil det sætte sit eget præg på en så markant måde, at der ikke kan eller skal foretages nogen sammenligning?

 

Når det kommer til uforglemmelige anfald af weltervægt, nu skal det være indlysende, at alt og alt er muligt. Mayweather og Pacquiao vil lave historie, og tilføj det, ved at forsøge at bøje skæbnen hver til deres eget formål.

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

Efterlad en kommentar

NEW YORK (April. 20, 2015) – Author Rich Blake vil blive i morgen nats (Tirsdag, April 21) special Ring 8 guest speaker at O’Neill’s Restaurant, placeret på 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 og 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 i morgen aften, 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, desværre, 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.

Australien via Kildare, Irlands WBA #12- og IBF # 11-rated “Orkan” Dennis Hogan (21-0-1, 7 KOS) cruisede til en underholdende og håndværksmæssig 10-round beslutning i Philadelphias Tyrone “Young Gun” Brunson (22-5-1, 21 KOS) i aften, i de vigtigste tilfælde af “Championship Boxing på CBS Sports Network” på Grand Casino Hinckley i Hinckley, Minnesota.

Bekæmpelse foran en anerkendende udsolgte crowd, Hogan outworked den omhyggelige Brunson i de fleste runder vinder med snesevis af 96-94, 98-92 og 97-93 og i den proces, afhentet World Boxing Associations NABA USA Super Welterweight Championship.

Hogan lukkede showet godt og syntes at såre Brunson med en serie af clubbing skud. Men Brunson var i stand til at overleve stormløb.

Brunson, der synes at have forvandlet til en tæller puncher siden sine dage som kongen af ​​KO 1 tidligere i sin karriere, havde en god runde otte og syntes at såre Hogan med ret. Han holdt det interessant hele ved at fange Hogan kommer med rigtige hænder.

Præsenteret af Greg Cohen Promotions i samarbejde med Adam Wilcock s Fight Card Kampagner og produceret af David Schuster vinder Tag Alle Productions “Championship Boxing på CBS Sports Network” blev debut CBS-tv-indsats fra den salgsfremmende hold.

Adskillige thudding udslagsblanketter præget resten af ​​natten handling.

I nattens co-main event, letvægts Slugger Ismael Barroso gjort hurtig arbejde Memphis, Tennessee veteran Ira Terry, banke ham ud inde i en runde.

Den southpaw Barroso, El Tigre, Venezuela, flyttede hans post til 18-0-2, 17 KOs ved udfladning Terry (nu 26-14, 16 KOS) med en ødelæggende venstre. Barroso omdømme synes at vokse med hver skræmmende præstation. Terry forsøgte at flytte til venstre og bliver undvigende, men det tog kun ét skud fra Barrosos cement næver. Dommer Mark Nelson begyndte en optælling, da Terry gik ned, men hurtigt viftede det ud på 2:49.

I tv-åbneren, Saint Paul, Minnesota, mellemvægt udsigten Rob “Godt klaret” Brant (15-0, 9 KOS)gjort overraskende let arbejde Miami via Colombias Dionisio Miranda (22-11-2, 19 KOS), slippe ham for fuld tælling på 2:40 af runde to.

Brant viste overlegen hurtighed, mens landing hans rangy skud danner udenfor. En højre hånd begyndte den ulejlighed for normalt holdbare Miranda. Opfølgning volley tvang Miranda ned og han valgt, formentlig klogt, ikke at stige. Publikum-favorit Brant forbliver ubesejret og nu har en KO sejr over et kvalitets mellemniveau modstander på hans CV.

I hvad viste sig at være en tv-transmitteret swing Bout, Amerikanske sværvægter udsigten Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller, af Brooklyn, New York, flyttede sin imponerende rekord til 12-0-1, 10 KOs ved at slå ud Nairobi, Kenyas Raymond “King Kong” Ochieng (26-19-3, 21 KOS) på 1:40af de allerførste runde.

Miller lagde sin tunge, præcise skud inde i vilde udsving i spillet Ochieng og fangede ham med en stærk kombination mod tovene. Ochieng gik ned og dommer Gary Miezwa viftede det ud uden at tælle, formentlig for tidligt.

Alligevel, den karismatiske Miller lignede en solid udsigten tage ud en nyttig veteran i Ochieng, der var gået 10 runder med Alexander Petkovic i hans sidste kamp og afleveres 36-1 David Rodriguez en TKO 1 tab sidste juli.

San Antonio, Texas, super bantamvægt Adam “Smør” Lopez (11-0, 6 KOS) fremmet hans ry som en up-and-coming udsigten ved nivellering Saint Paul, Minnesota Philip Adyaka (4-5, 2 KOS) med en uhyrlig venstre hook på 58 sekunder af runde to. 24-årige Lopez var for stor og for magtfuld for den mindre Adyaka. Lopez imponerede, vise sin verdensklasse våben, mens hamrer til hoved og krop, især med den venstre hook. Adyaka modigt forsøgte at stige, men snublede tilbage i tovene og kampen blev viftede.

I en seks-round sværvægter match-up, fan favorit Joey “Minnesota Ice” Abell (30-8, 29 KOS) af nærliggende Coon Rapids, Minnesota, startede sin comeback ved at stoppe svend Travis “Iron Man” Fulton (22-39-1, 21 KOS) af Cedar Falls, Iowa i tre runder. Ud af ringen i mere end et år, den southpaw Abell endelig rystede rust og kom igennem med en byge af slag mod tovene, som dårligt bedøvet Fulton.

VERONA, NEW YORK (April 18) -Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York was treated to a historic sold out match-up between two of the most exciting gladiators in boxing as Lucas “La Maqina”” Matthysse (37-3, 34 KO s) took a majority decision victory over “Den sibiriske Rocky” Ruslan Provodnikov (24-4, 17 KO s) in a 12-round junior welterweight bout on the split-site doubleheader on HBO Boxing After Dark ®.

Præsenteret af Banner Kampagner og Golden Boy Promotions, & Arano Box Promotions the action packed night showcased two athletes fighting in the prime of their careers, with a title shot in the 140-pound division likely hanging in the horizon.

Provodnikov was cut badly in round two from an accidental headbutt. Matthysse targeted the eye but Provodnikov walked through every shot. 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 to gange og 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. Jeg har stor respekt for ham. 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,” Said Provodnikov. “I never want the fight stopped. The only time would be when I am on my back.”

Going on before the live split-site HBO Boxing After Dark doubleheader, Patrick Teixeira(25-0, 21 KOS) of Santa Catarina, Brazil faced off against Accra, Georgia’s Patrick Allotey (30-2, 24 KOS) in a scheduled 10-round middleweight bout. Both fighters came at each other aggressively in the first round in an exciting exchange of hard punches. Teixeria put an end to the fight in the second round as he delivered a devastating blow to Allotey’s body knocking him down to win the fight via knockout.

“I am very happy and feel emotional about my first fight with Golden Boy Promotions,” said Patrick Teixeira. “I wanted to make sure I impressed them in my first fight, so I trained very hard to make sure I went the full 10 omgang. But I am very excited I got the knockout.”

Vitaly Kopylenko (25-1, 14 KO s) won an eight round unanimous decision over Lekan Byfield (6-8-2, 1 KO) i en mellemvægt Bout. Kopylenko knocked down Byfield twice on punches that staggered the Atlanta native into the ropes. Kopylenko cruise down the stretch of the fight to win via unanimous decision with a score of 79-72.

“I hurt my shoulder in the first round but I was able to gut it out and land some good shots,” said Kopylenko.

Washington, D.C standout, Lamont Roach Jr. (7-0, 3KOS) faced Carolina, Puerto Rico Jose Miguel Castro (4-3, 2 KOS) in a scheduled six-round lightweight bout. Roach dominated the fight early on, winning the bout by unanimous decision.

“It was my first six-rounder,” said Lamont Roach Jr. “I think that I could have knocked him down or made him quit if I would have hit him harder in the beginning but I trained for six round and wanted to make sure I could go the distance. I did want the knockout towards the end, but I didn’t get it.”

Vitor Jones De Oliveira (9-0, 5 KO s) won a six round unanimous decision over Guillermo Sanchez (15-14-1, 6 KOS) i en let kamp. De Oiveira boxed well from the outside and countered the southpaw Sanchez nice and came home with the victory by scores of 59-55 og 58-56 to gange.

“Det var en god kamp. It took me a few rounds to get going but I am very happy with my performance and looking forward to my next fight,” said De Oliveira.

Eddie “E-Boy” Gomez (18-1, 11 KOS) af The Bronx, New York started the night with a technical knockout victory over Jonathan Batista (14-6, 7 KOS) of San Pedro de Marcos, Den Dominikanske Republik, when Batista could not answer the bell to start round six in their scheduled 10-round super welterweight bout.

“Jeg har det godt, I’m satisfied with the win, but I wanted to show more,” said Eddie Gomez. “I was just getting warmed up, showing my boxing and foot work skills to prove I was ready for the 12-round championship fights.”

Sidney McCow scored a first round technical knockout over Paulo Souza in a scheduled four round welterweight. McCow (3-2, 2 KO s) af New York, NY pummeled Souza until the bout was stopped at 2:55 af runde én. Souza of Somerville, Massachusetts is now 0-8.

Vil Mayweather vs.. Pacquiao Live up to the Hype?

Efterlad en kommentar

Ved: Rich Bergeron

Floyd “Penge” Mayweather Jr.. (47-0, 26 KOS) og Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 KOS) er indstillet til sammenstød den 2. maj, 2015 i en af ​​de mest hypede kampe i boksehistorien. Denne kamp er så enorm, at de er lige planlægger at sælge billetter til vejningen på grund af problemer med crowd control. Provenuet går ikke til arrangørerne eller bokserne, selv. Det hele går til velgørenhed. Stadig, dette er en første for staten Nevada, hvilket traditionelt kræver, at alle vejninger er gratis for fans at deltage i.

Niveauet af forventning omkring denne kamp havde lang tid at opbygge. For den bedre del af det sidste årti, disse to pund-for-pund juggernauts kunne ikke få denne kamp til at ske af den ene latterlige grund efter den anden. Som en der deltog personligt i nogle af Mayweathers offentlige træning i Vegas, Jeg kan bevidne det faktum, at den ubesejrede weltervægtsmester gentagne gange og ubarmhjertigt citerede Pacquiaos nægtelse af at gennemgå blodprøve i olympisk stil, da han blev spurgt om de forsøg, der blev gjort for at få denne kamp underskrevet for over fem år siden.

Mayweather kom endda med en lille rap-tekst til at udtrykke problemet i enkle vendinger:

“Hvis du vil kæmpe bedst, du skal tage testen,” han bælte ud under en sit-up-session på en af ​​de åbne træningsprogrammer.

Pacquiao ændrede sin melodi på testningen og overvandt den største forhindring af alle, da han mødtes personligt med Mayweather og aftalte, at han ville være den “B” side og bør derfor få en mindre split af pungen. Som videoen ovenfor skitserer, Mayweather var derefter i stand til at dominere forhandlingsprocessen.

Selvom eksperter stadig siger, at denne kamp vil være den største i sportens historie, spørgsmålet skal stilles, hvis denne parring sker for sent i begge krigers karriere, for at det bliver så spændende som nogle eksperter forudsiger, at det vil være.

Det var altid klart for mig, at denne kamp ville ske, men det blev tydeligt, at jo længere tid det tog at underskrive kontrakterne, jo bedre ville Floyds chancer for at vinde være. Stadig, Floyd indrømmede i 2012 at den virkelige grund til, at han ikke ønskede at bekæmpe Pacquiao skyldtes sundhedsmæssige bekymringer. Han benægtede at være bange, kalder sig selv “smart” for først at tænke på sin familie og hans helbred. Stadig, han insisterede på, at hovedårsagen til, at hans helbred ville være i fare i denne kamp, ​​var hvis Pacquiao virkelig lavede steroider, som Mayweather hævdede og endte med at blive sagsøgt. De to slog sig ud af retten, og kampen er nu forestående, så nogle fans tror, ​​det hele er vand under broen. Andre er bare forværrede, at vi var nødt til at vente så længe på, at denne kamp kom i opfyldelse.

Boxing Legend Marvin Hagler kommenterede endda for nylig, at Mayweather ventede, indtil Pacquiao blev ældre lidt mere, før han underskrev for at bekæmpe ham. Hagler sammenlignede Mayweather's taktik med Sugar Ray Leonard og ventede på, indtil Hagler blev lidt “blød” sig selv, før de underskrev deres kampkontrakt. Denne kamp viste sig at være meget kontroversiel og efterlod Hagler meget bitter over den sport, der gjorde ham berømt.

Så, May-Pac-kampen vil ske, og Mayweather er den åbenlyse favorit. For at lære mere om spil siden i denne historie, tjek Boksning på William Hill-webstedet. Den største udbetaling for enhver heldig spiller bliver et vellykket væddemål på Pacquiao, men det er let at spekulere på, om Pacquiao virkelig er for gammel til at vinde denne gang. Trods alt, der er masser af bekymringer med Mannys kalvemuskler, der griber op, og angiveligt bruger han en helende creme, der koster tusindvis af dollars pr. flaske til at løse problemet.

Mayweather (38) er faktisk den ældre fighter, men den 36-årige Mannys kæmpede 17 flere anfald i pro-rækkerne og vil sandsynligvis være den mest aktive puncher “Penge” nogensinde står over for. Mayweather's normalt spektakulære og overvældende defensive dygtighed kan bare blive testet.

Denne kamp er muligvis ikke værd at hver øre, du bruger på billetter eller Pay-Per-View-feedet, men det faktum, at det endelig sker, er stadig specielt. Det vil stadig være en kamp, ​​som boksefans overalt i verden kan nyde og sætte pris på. Det er i sidste ende op til krigerne at bevise, at de begge er op til opgaven med at sikre, at denne kamp lever op til forventningerne. Chancerne er, Floyd vil gøre sit bedste for at forlade MGM Grand med en begivenhedsfri sejr. Lad os bare håbe Pacquiao har nok tilbage i tanken til at sikre, at dette er den mest konkurrencedygtige kamp, ​​Mayweather nogensinde har været i. Det er måske ikke det mest passende tidspunkt for denne kamp at ske, men det er meget bedre at få det sent end aldrig.

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, for. 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.”

TV wants guys who can punch and box, the total package, and I showed that i aften. I feel that I’m ready for a top 10 contender and showed i aften that I belong among the best.”

Allen connected with a straight left hand punch that landed flush on the Cape Cod light heavyweight’s chin.
