Oliveira Over Tolliver in Eight!

By: Edwin Gonzalez
November 11th, Cohen Stadium, El Paso, Texas: In the main event of a Gary Shaw, Greg Cohen, Z Entertainment co-promotion "Boxing at the Ballpark" light middleweight Austin ‘No Doubt’ Trout successfully defended his WBA World Light Middleweight Title dropping then stopping Aussie Frank LoPorto in six.

Trout left "no doubt" in what could easily be classified as a mismatch considering the ass kicking LoPorto received. LoPorto was game early coming forward even after getting battered, rocked and dropped.

Trout looked sharp displaying a variety of offensive weapons battering the durable Aussie for six rounds until referee Rafael Ramos had seen enough stopping it at 2:32 0f round six.

Trout advances to an impressive 24-0, 14Ko's while LoPorto's three bout win streak comes to an end leaving him at 15-5-2, 7Ko's for that long flight back to "Down Under."

In the co-feature Michael "The Brazilian Rocky" Oliveira had a "rocky" start with Atlanta, Georgia's "X-Man" Xavier Tolliver.

Tolliver punched himself out early and his best shot became headbutts. Oliveira with cut over his left eye and a swollen nose both from the numerous headbutts picked Tolliver apart sharp combinations.

Tolliver was deducted a point in the fifth for head butting and with Oliveira in control referee Robert Chapa called the bout at 1:31 of the 8th round disqualifying Tolliver who was posing for "Rocky's" cannon fodder hit the talented Brazilian with an illegal punch on the beak.

Oliveira climbs to 16-0, 13Ko's while Tolliver drops to 23-8, 15Ko's.

Kirkland Stops Angulo in Six After Opening Round of the Year!

By: Ian Webb
November 5th, Centro de Cancun, Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico: Living up to the hype in a what was promoted as who lands first James "The Mandingo Warrior" Kirkland was forced to pick himself up off the canvas before stopping Mexico's Alfredo "Perro" Angulo in round six.

Angulo entering the WBC Light Middleweight Semi-Final Eliminator had won his last five by Ko and appeared on he way to making it six when he floored Kirkland early but for some strange reason turned southpaw matching his opponent only to punch himself out and get dropped himself by a big "Mandigo" left ending round one.

Kirkland re-united with his long time trainer Anne Wolfe was the better conditioned banger not only surviving his round one knockdown but turning the tables flooring Angulo ending round one in what is a clear contender for round of the year.

Angulo dropped Kirkland with a heavy right hand about thirty seconds into the round. "Perro" switching between orthodox and southpaw then threw over one hundred punches but the well conditioned Kirkland held on to land a thudding left rocking Angulo with about fifteen seconds to go in the round.

The possible round of the year was followed by a change of fortune with Kirkland remaining patient stalking the hurt Angulo going on the break down the rugged Mexican down over the next five rounds finally taking all the fight out of the dog backing "Perro" to the ropes in round six for a two handed battering forcing referee Johnny Callas to step in and stop it at 2:01 of round six.

Claiming the WBC Continental Americas Light Middleweight Title Kirkland, now 30-1, 27Ko's is a true banger, he is no sharp shooter and has many defensive flaws but reconciliation with Anne Wolfe should have "The Mandingo Warrior" testing the rest of the top of the division while Angulo, 20-2, 17Ko's regroups and restarts his climb back to the top.

Should WBC Light Middleweight Champion Saul Alvarez the get past Kermit Cintron who beat Angulo May 2009 the 26th of this month a Kirkland / alvarez fight would be very attractive.

In notable bouts on the undercard Peter Quillin stopped Craig McEwan in six and 2008 Olympian heavyweight Deontay Wilder finished Daniel Cota in three.

Flores a southpaw had Mora fighting mostly in reverse for the first three rounds stalking the former TV star catching him with solid lefts with “The Snake” slipping through the ropes in round one.

Mora slowed his retreat in the fourth beginning a solid body attack mixing in quick crisp combinations. He would continue the flow countering the advancing Flores the next few rounds until sitting down on his punches scoring with clean right hands to the head and body.

Now fighting behind his jab Mora was gradually breaking and slowing Flores down in the sixth eventually stopping “Shibata” in the seventh backing him to the ropes where he sat defenseless for a barrage of punches convincing referee Lou Moret to call it over at 3:00 of round seven.

The win improves Mora to 23-2-2, 7Ko’s while Flores who’s claim to fame is losses to Fernando Vargas, and Verno Phillips can add the loss to Mora as he falls to 45-12, 26Ko’s.

McGuinness Captures NABA Title Ontario Crushes Quebec

(October 26th) – Hometown hero Logan Cotton McGuinness knocked out former world title challenger Benoit Gaudet in the 11th round last Saturday night in the main event on a provincial rivalry card, pitting Ontario and Quebec fighters against each other in a statement showdown, to capture the vacant North American Boxing Association (“NABA”) super featherweight title at The Hershey Centre in Mississauga, Ontario.

McGuinness (16-0-1, 7 KOs), presently rated No. 10 by the World Boxing Association (“WBA”) in the lightweight division, relinquished his NABA lightweight crown to fight Gaudet for the lower weight belt.

“This was the biggest fight of my career,” McGuinness said. “He had nearly 200 amateur fights and fought in the Olympics, so he had an experience advantage over me as a professional and amateur. Right from the get-go, I pressured him, cut off the ring, and broke him down. The last three rounds he felt my power, even my jab. I hit him with a good jab and the ropes held him up. He isn’t known as a puncher and I walked through his punches.”

McGuinness, captain of Team Ontario, was the aggressor from the opening bell, forcing the pace against counter-punching Gaudet (24-3, 10 KOs). An accidental head butt in the second round opened a deep cut over McGuinness’ left eye. Logan cut Gaudet over his left eye in the sixth round. In the 11th round, McGuinness’ pressure paid off in dramatic fashion when the Irish-Canadian fighter unloaded a powerful right-left combination that dropped Gaudet, who reached his feet but was unable to continue as the referee halted the match.

“I like fighting as a super featherweight,” Logan added. “I had no trouble making weight and felt stronger. I weighed in at 128, two pounds under. I’m not sure what’s next but I’m ready for anything my promoter, manager and trainer agree to.”

“What a show,” exclaimed promoter Adam Harris (Hennessy Sports). “We hope to get Logan back in the ring in a few months. This impressive performance puts him in the mix for a title shot next year. He wants to continue fighting as a super featherweight. We’ve also been contacted by people who want to showcase him on U.S. television. The sky’s the limit for Logan Cotton McGuinness. Ontario also showed boxing people that Quebec isn’t the only hotbed for talent in Canada. Ontario won all three rivalry fights.” 

To watch McGuinness’ knockout victory: (click here)   

The co-feature turned out to be a war, as predicted, between unbeaten Columbian welterweight Samuel Vargas (8-0-1, 2 KOs) and outspoken Ahmad Cheikho (6-4-2, 5 KOs), who were representing, respectively, Toronto/Ontario and Montreal/Quebec.

In a toe-to-toe, old-fashioned brawl, Vargas and Cheikho went at it from the start. A well placed shot to the liver by Vargas dropped Cheikho in the first round, but Ahmad caught Vargas in the second round, knocking him to the mat face first for the first time in his career. A bloodied Vargas survived the round and a little later, momentum shifted to his favor. In the fourth, Vargas pinned Cheikho on the ropes, blasting away with left hooks to the body, and Ahmad hit the deck once again. Vargas’ all-out assault continued in the fifth round, in which Cheikho was knocked down during the final seconds. He managed to beat the count but failed to answer the bell for the sixth.

“The card as a whole was one of the most exciting I've been involved with in a long time,” commented International Boxing Hall of Fame nominee Al Bernstein, who called the action live from ringside. “The main event and co-main event were outstanding. The Sam Vargas-Ahmad Cheikho match is a fight of the year candidate. It was a total slugfest and Vargas came back from the brink of disaster to win. Speaking of coming back...Logan McGuinness was being out-boxed by Benoit Gaudet, but he came back to stop Gaudet in the 11th when he needed a KO to win the match. McGuinness won his first big fight at super featherweight and probably found his best weight class."

In the other Ontario-Quebec rivalry bout, Natasha “The Nightmare” Spence       (3-0-1, 2 KOs) made it a clean sweep for Ontario as she won a four round decision (40-36, 40-36, 39-37) versus Lucia Larcinese, of Montreal..

Hennessy Sports’ newly signed fighter, Buffalo light heavyweight prospect Lionell “Lonnie B” Thompson (10-0, 6 KOs), kept his perfect record intact via a six-round shutout, taking a decision from former world title challenger and former Sudan Olympian, Abdullah Ramadan (15-11, 9 KOs).

Also on the undercard, Jeremy Abbott (3-2, 2 KOs) destroyed Harrison McBain (3-4-1) in one round, heavyweight Dillon Carman (2-0, 1 KO) needed only 39 seconds to stop Gord “The Gravedigger” Franjic, and light middleweight Brandon “Bad Boy” Cook (3-0, 1 KO) won a four-round unanimous decision (40-36, 40-36, 39-37) over Darren Fletcher.

It Takes Two to Tango, Donaire Wanted to Apologize to the Fans!
Garcia Stops Martinez in Four, Monaghan in Five and Full Results!

By: Joe Martin
October 22nd, Madison Square Garden: Looking to expand his fan base to the east coast WBO/WBC Bantamweight Champion Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire took on former WBO Super Flyweight Champion Argentine Omar Narvaez.

Donaire who catapulted into the spotlight July 2007 with a brutal KO of IBF Flyweight Champion Vic Darchinyan continued his trek to the top ten pound for pound list winning his next eight seven by KO. The eight wins were convincing stopping Luis Maldonado, Moruti Mthalane, Raul Martinez, Manuel Vargas, Hernan Marquez, Volodymyr Sydorenko and Fernando Montiel to win the WBC / WBO Bantamweight title with the only fight going the distance a DeLuca 117-111, 115-113, 116-112 twelve round unanimous decision over Panama’s tough Rafael Concepcion. The build up was in and most boxing notables saw the fight a one sided Ko win by Donaire.

An 8-1 underdog, Narvaez a two time champion with 16 title defenses without a loss in eleven years. The bout on paper appeared to be a competitive despite the 8-1 odds but as we all know to get a fight “it takes two to tango.” Narvaez who hadn’t scored a KO in five bouts usually a pressure fighter lacking a true power punch usually wins with his high volume active attack.

We would see none of that tonight as Donaire was the aggressor attempting to open up his challenger with an assortment of punches to the body and head even resorting to dropping his hands and sticking out his chin could not get Narvaez to open up.

                                    

Donaire got to Narvaez briefly in the fourth round with a good right in the fourth only prompting the Argentine former champion to tighten the shell. With Narvaez going into survival mode and Donaire seeming to lose interest Narvaez got his wish hearing the bell sound ending the bout to continuing boos from the disatisfied crowd.

Adding insult to injury when the bout ended Narvaez corner lifted the challenger as if he had just stolen the title. The judges scores were announced 120-108 reflecting Narvaez inactivity but will not show Donaire’s inability to impose his will like Madison Square Garden fans have seen champions do in the past.

After the bout Narvaez stated "He never hurt me, I didn't feel any of the punches. I didn't think he was such a big deal."

Appearing frustrated Donaire declared "I didn't even want to look at him, I was so frustrated, I wanted to apologize to the fans, because the fans didn't deserve this. This was my first time on the East Coast and in Madison Square Garden, and I wanted to give them a better fight."

With the win Donaire improves to 27-1, 18Ko’s as he eyes a match with WBO Jr. Featherweight Champion Jorge Arce, 58-6-1, 44Ko’s. Another potential match-up is WBC Super Bantamweight titlist Toshiaki Nishioka, 39-4-3, 24Ko’s. Suffering his first loss Narvaez slips to 35-1-2, 19Ko’s.

In the co-feature: 23 year old unbeaten featherweight Miguel Angel Garcia kept his zero and extended his KO streak to five stopping Mexico’s Juan Carlos Martinez in four.

Garcia started slow with Martinez landing left cleanly but Garcia who appeared to be sizing up his opponent appears was scoring the heavier shots.

In round two Garcia with swelling beginning over his left eye would continue to eat Martinez jab but was again landing with the heavier punches.

Finding his range in the third Garcia dumps Martinez with a solid hook but remains patient stalking the stunned Mexican.

In round four Garcia beats a Martinez right with a thumping left flooring Martinez again. Martinez making it upright beats the count allowing Garcia to go on the attack scoring with his left at will mixing in heavy rights returning Martinez to the canvas. Martinez would again get vertical only to become the recipient of a volley of Garcia power shots finally convincing the referee to halt the bout at 2:40 of round four.

Retaining his NABF title with the win Garcia advances to 27-0, 23Ko’s while Martinez fals to 19-13, 7Ko’s.

On the undercard: Golden Boy Promotions Canadian jr middleweight prospect Mikael Zewski continued his unbeaten streak scoring his second KO in as many fights blitzing Albuquerque, New Mexico’s Keuntray Henson dropping him once before finishing the bout with a crisp left hook convincing referee Gary Rosato to call it at 1:27 of round one. Zewski improves to 11-0, 7Ko’s as Henson falls to 4-4, 1Ko.

Long Beach, Long Island undefeated light heavyweight Seanie Monaghan scored his third straight KO win over Youngstown, Ohio’s Anthony Pietantonio. The fan favorite Monaghan appearing patient took his time to find his openings banging Pietantonio with heavy hooks and thumping right hands. As the fight progressed Monaghan landing the cleaner harder shots broke Pietantonio down backing him to the ropes in round five opening up with both hands forcing referee Eddie Claudio to stop the beating at 2:51 of round five. Monaghan improves to 10-0, 7Ko’s returning Pietantonio to Ohio at 7-8, 5Ko’s.

Puerto Rican unbeaten super flyweight Jonathan “La Bomba” Gonzalez moved and boxed himself to a 59-54, 60-53 times two unanimous decision over New Rochelle, New York’s pressing Jose “Chili” Rivera.

In a six round advanced sparring session Plainview, New York’s Tommy “The Razor” Rainone won a 60-54, 59-55, 58-56 one sided sleeper over Denver, Colorado’s Brad Jackson. Rainone wins his third straight improving to 16-4, 4Ko’s as Jackson falls to13-7-1, 7Ko’s.

Freeport, Long Island lightweight Mike “Lefty” Brooks won his sixth straight against no losses with his patented body attack shutting out Laredo, Texas Eddie Ramirez. The aggressive brooks ripped to Ramirez body from the opening bell never allowing the visiting Texan to match his work rate or power earning a 40-36 times three unanimous decision. Brook’s climbs to 6-0, 1Ko while Ramirez falls to 6-10-1, 3Ko’s.

Dix Hill, Long Island’s, heavy handed Cletus “The Hebrew Hammer” Seldin bounced Miami, Florida’s Jose Segura Torres off the canvas once in round one and twice in round two forcing referee Eddie Claudio to stop the beat down at 2:52 of round two. Seldin recording his second KO moves to 4-0, 2Ko’s as Torres drops to 1-3-1, 1Ko.
