FIRE WINS LONG ISLAND CHAMPIONSHIPS

FIRE WINS LONG ISLAND CHAMPIONSHIPS

After a very productive year in Boxing, Fire once again: came, saw and conquered. This time it was at the Long Island Championships. Fire was supposed to face this year's runner up to her, Alexis Asher, via the New York Golden Gloves in the Long Island Championships finals. After what some deemed as a controversial fight, Fire made sure that when Asher signed for the next Championship Tournament that she too would be signing up also to quench any doubts that Asher or her supporters may have had about the Golden Gloves. In other words, Fire was looking to deliver a beat-down. But to her surprise (but not mine) Asher didn't show up at the finals for the Championship to redeem herself for a fight that she felt she won at the Garden ... So much for talk.

Instead, Fire got to meet a game opponent, Wally Wallo who actually started boxing before Fire. It was a good fight with Wally taking things to the inside and Fire matching her and then taking control on the outside with her jab and movement. Wally had a few good moments throwing body shots with bad intention but Fire was able to handle those shots while returning the favor by giving her a bloody nose & almost stopping Wally in the third round with an eight count. Fire wins this one on speed, power and ring generalship.

“Beibut The Beast” Boxing’s Top Secret Project

KAZAKHSTAN– Former Kazakhstan Olympian Beibut “The Beast” Shumenov is the greatest fighter in the world that most boxing fans haven’t heard of, at least not at this stage of his young professional career.

In less than 10 months, 24-year-old Shumenov has won all six of his pro fights, five by knockout, capturing three title belts – WBC Asian Boxing Council, WBO Asia Pacific and PABA Interim light heavyweight championships.

Earlier this month in Chimkent, Kazakhaston, Shumenov (6-0, 5 KOs) easily won a 12-round decision, in his WBC and WBO Asian title defenses, against former WBC title-holder Montell “Ice” Griffin (50-8, 30 KOs), whose victims over the years include a pair of future Hall of Famers, Roy Jones, Jr. and James Toney (twice). Beibut won every round, nearly stopping Griffin in the opening round, en route to shutting out the former world champion by lop-sided scores of 120-108, 120-108, 120-107. After the fight Griffin, rated No. 22 by the WBA, was taken to the hospital for stitches for a cut over his eye as well as to get his ribs examined after Beibut’s devastating body attack.

Shumenov, already rated No. 15 by the WBO prior to his victory against Griffin, was highly touted in the 2004 Olympics, winning his opening bout against Polish representative Aleksy Kuziemsky (presently 15-0 as a pro prospect), 37-22. Amidst rumors of a hand injury, Beibut was defeated in the round of 16 by Turkey’s Ihsan Yildorim Tarham, 27-19, in the same light heavyweight division Andre Ward of the United States won a gold medal.

Last November in North Carolina, Shumenov won his pro debut with a first-round TKO of Walter Edwards, followed in order by an opening-round knockout of Cedric Howard in Florida, and fourth-round TKO of 68-fight veteran Shannon Miller in Tennessee. In April,

Beibut put Donnell Wiggins (24-10-4) to sleep in the second round of their fight in Kazakhstan for the WBC Asian and PABA Interim light heavyweight crowns. Ten days later, Beibut stopped Lavell Fingers (26-2) in the first-round of their April 22 fight, also held in Kazakhstan. Beibut successfully defended his two Asian titles and also collected the PABA Interim crown.

Trained by Kenny Adams and advised by E Point K Consulting, Shumenov is resting in Kazakhaston and will return to Las Vegas in late September, early October to prepare for his next fight. Beibut plans to make a title run in 2009.

The word is slowly getting out in boxing: “Beibut The Beast” is on the loose!
