En martes ni te cases ni te embarques… mejor asiste al boxeo al Silver Nugget Por Jaime Estrada

“Mosley KO’s Mayorga with One Tick Left in the 12th!” by Frank Gonzalez Jr.
In a very sloppy Jr. Middleweight contest Saturday night at the Home Depot Center in Carson California, former titlist “Sugar” Shane Mosley (45-5, 38 KO’s) labored through 12 ugly rounds against wild-man, former welterweight titlist, Ricardo Mayorga (29-7-1, 23 KO’s) until knocking him down and out with one second left in the 12th round.
One year ago tomorrow, KELLY "The Ghost" PAVLIK transformed himself from the No. 1 middleweight contender into world middleweight champion and boxing folk hero. It was on Saturday, September 29, 2007, in Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall, that Pavlik pulled himself off the canvas after a second round knockdown, served up by undefeated defending champion Jermain Taylor, to come roaring back, knocking out Taylor in the seventh round. More than just the passing of the torch for one of boxing's most hallowed titles, Pavlik's victory single-handedly rejuvenated interest in the sport. Beyond his punching power and gun-slinger style of fighting, media and fans alike have embraced Pavlik for his dedication to civic duty and his self-deprecating sense of humor, which first surfaced hours after his world title victory when he made fun of himself after he discovered on his flight home to Youngstown that he had left his purse check in his Atlantic City hotel room!
David Hudson and Jose
Santiago
In an extremely brutal fight, Guillermo
Jones (36-3-2, 27 KOs) dethroned reigning WBA
cruiserweight world champion Firat Arslan (29-5-1, 18
KOs) via tenth round TKO on Saturday night at the
Color Line Arena in Hamburg, Germany. Aslan pressed
the action in a high tempo contest in which both
fighters connected with good shots early on. The much
taller Jones progressively busted up the face of
Arslan with razor sharp punching while the superbly
conditioned Arslan returned many hard connects on his
end, as well. Referee Luis Pabon had the ring doctor
examine Arslan's cuts in round seven. Jones continued
to attack viciously and Pabon finally stopped the bout
in round ten. Time was 2:33. "The Incredible Expanding
Man" Jones had previously challenged twice for the WBA
super welterweight title in 1998.
Unbeaten super middleweight Denis Inkin (34-0, 24 KOs)
claimed the vacant WBO 168lb world championship former
held by Joe Calzaghe. Inkin won a twelve round
unanimous decision over Fulgencio Zuniga (21-2-1, 18
KOs).
Juan Carlos Gomez is the new no. 1 contender on the
WBC heavyweight champion title. "The Black Panther"
clearly outboxed Vladimir Virchis, knocking down "The
Hunter" in the fifth to take home a unanimous decision
win. "I told everybody before that it's Showtime!"
stated Gomez. "I beat Virchis and more importantly I
beat Klaus-Peter Kohl and Universum. Now I will go on
to finally fulfill my great dream of becoming
heavyweight champion of the world!" After beating
Virchis, Gomez is the mandatory challenger for the
winner of October 11th clash between Vitali Klitschko
and reigning WBC champion Samuel Peter. "I would
prefer to take on Vitali but I will beat whoever comes
my way", adds Gomez.
El Azúcar se le convierte en diabetes al Matador en el ultimo segundo Por Jaime Estrada
Como siempre Ricardo Mayorga fue el centro de la atención por andar de lengua larga y en esta ocasión divulgo que mandaría a Shane Mosley a los quehaceres del hogar para que la esposa no se le enojara. Shane más que enojada se reía confidente de tener un tanque más apropiado de gas para darle una tunda al Matador.
The co-feature of the November 8th MSG card featuring Joe Calzaghe against Roy Jones Jr. was supposed to feature Dmitriy Salita's chance at a world title against WBA super lightweight champion Andreas Kotelnik, however a rib injury in Kotelnik's September 13th fight has apparently scrapped that fight. "I am ready to finalize the fight immediately," said Salita, who is training in the Poconos. "It's up to his people to contact my promoter, Roy Jones' Square Ring, and get this fight on. The ball is in his court, step up, give the fans what they want to see!" If Kotelnik is not available, Salita is expected to remain on the card.

WHY ISN'T LUPE PINTOR IN THE
INTERNATIONAL BOXING HALL OF FAME ? This is a story that you may say is regrettable. You may say it is sad or that it is a simple oversight. Or you may call it what it is, a travesty ! If you look at the credentials of Lupe Pintor it is plain to see that they far exceed those of some that are enshrined in the I.B.H.O.F. This is a proud warrior who should have been inducted years ago but sadly he sits on the outside looking in.

Full Story and Ticket Info
In an important battle between lightweight prospects, Vicente Escobedo (19-1, 12 KOs) impressively KO'd previously unbeaten Dominic Salcido (16-1, 8 KOs) in round six on Friday night at the Morongo Casino Resort & Spa in Cabazon, California. Escobedo hurt Salcido with a big left hook then dropped him with a brutal follow-up barrage. After more punishment from Escobedo, the bout was waved off at 42 seconds of round six.
The WBO informed promoter Klaus-Peter Kohl this afternoon that Joe Calzaghe has given up his WBO super middleweight championship. As a result, Saturday's clash between unbeaten Denis Inkin (33-0, 24 KOs) and Fulgencio Zuniga (21-2-1, 18 KOs) at the Color Line Arena in Hamburg will now be for the vacant WBO world championship. "For me it makes no great difference," stated Inkin. "The opponent remains equally strong. But now I'm just one step away from my life's big dream. This gives me an extra boost as it's now in my hands and there's no need to wait for Joe's decision." Trainer Magomed Schaburow added "Super! After receiving this message the whole team leaped into the air. We're happy about the chance and now we're concentrating on the difficult task and want using this world title opportunity."
King Arthur Abraham
(27-0, 22 KOs) is pleased to reassure Raul Marquez that
he is not ignoring him at all. Earlier this week, the
37-year-old mandatory challenger complained about being
overlooked by the undefeated IBF middleweight champion,
who will make his eighth title defense in Bamberg on
October 4. “Abraham´s people are looking beyond me,”
Marquez claimed. “I want to spoil all that talk about
him fighting Pavlik or Wright in his next fight.”

televised undercard features three compelling fights featuring fighters with a
combined record of 168-12-2 (111 KOs) and a combined winning percentage

In recent years, when talk turned to
California’s most promising prospects, the name of
2004 US Olympian Vicente Escobedo and amateur standout
Dominic Salcido have usually been part of the
conversation. Tonight Escobedo will face Salcido in
perhaps one of the best Telefutura cards of 2008. The
fast hands and feet plus the ring savvy of Escobedo
(18-1, 11 KOs) have drawn comparison to a young Oscar
de la Hoya. On the other side of the ring, Salcido
(16-0, 8 KOs) has been unstoppable, going 7-0 in 2007
and kicking off 2008 in June with an eight round win
over Luis Arceo.
"These are the events that fans love and for good reason," said Oscar de la Hoya, President of Golden Boy Promotions. "This card has two of the best prospects in the game fighting each other and it's make it or break it for them. I can't wait for the first bell to ring." In the televised co-main event, rising junior featherweight star Nestor Rocha (19-1, 6 KOs) will battle hardcore veteran Javier Cintron (14-10-2, 10 KOs).

Fighting for the first time in the middleweight division (he says that he cannot find anyone in the welterweight division that wants to fight him) WBO welterweight champion Paul 'The Punisher' Williams (35-1, 26 KOs) destroyed Andy Kolle (17-2, 12 KOs) in round one on Thursday night at the Soboba Casino in San Jacinto, California. A massive right hook dropped Kolle right through the bottom ropes just 97 seconds into the fight.
*****
With the bout on the verge of being
stopped due to his left eye being swollen shut, super
bantamweight contender Bernabe Concepcion (27-1, 16
KOs) unleashed a desperate and brutal assault on
Giovanni Caro (11-5-4) to knock out Caro in round
eight on Thursday night at the Sycuan Casino in El
Cajon, California. The end came at the 2:35 mark.
***** Former world champion Brian Viloria (23-2, 13 KOs) won a workmanlike eight round unanimous decision over Javier Lagos (15-13-2). Viloria is now scheduled to take on Ulises Solis for the IBF jr flyweight championship in December. ***** Junior welterweight Dennis Laurente (30-3, 16 KOs) scored a TKO over Arturo Urena (20-16, 12 KOs) when Urena could not come out for round seven due to a cut under his right eye. ***** The card was the first ever promoted by Manny Pacquiao Promotions, along with co-promoter, Sycuan Ringside Promotions.

Schiffbauer WIBF light flyweight champion Julia Sahin has surprisingly canceled her title defense against Esmeralda Moreno of Mexico scheduled for Saturday night at the Color Line Arena. Sahin told her handlers yesterday that she does not want to fight on the Universum bill and wants to sign with another promoter. Universum Box-Promotion agreed to cancel Sahin's contract immediately. The 108lb champion has already left Hamburg and the reasons of the unexpected split are yet unknown. At the age of 34, the future of Sahin seems to be very uncertain after this move.
