PHILADELPHIA- This past Saturday night in Nashville, Tennessee, former undisputed middleweight champion Jermain Taylor was the latest big-name fighter to wear and be successful while wearing boxing newest innovation, The Cov Glove.
The Cov Glove is a leather sleeve that keeps the tape from coming loose and keeps the action flowing without any chance of a stoppage.
Taylor is the latest in a growing number of championship caliber fighters such as Chad Dawson, Joshua Clottey and Alfredo Angulo to sport the Cov Glove in a high profile bout just in the last few months.
“I would like to congratulate Jermain for a great performance” said Cov Glove founder, David Price.
“It was ironic that only tape that came loose came from Lacy. With the Cov Glove, Jermain didn’t have those worries. I also want to thank Loe DiBella, Joe Quiambo and Ozell Nelson for having the confidence in the product and hope this is the beginning of a great relationship between Cov Glove & Team Taylor”

When Andrew Golota decided to pull out of his fight with Ray "The Rainman" Austin after the first round on Nov. 7 in Chengdu, China, some were quick to question his decision. The attached photos of Golota's left arm, taken one week after the fight during a medical examination in Chicago, clearly shows the extensive damage caused by multiple tendon tears.

Affliction's "Day of Reckoning" featuring FEDOR VS. ARLOVSKI
Seal Beach, CA- It's official! Tickets for Affliction's "Day of Reckoning" will be available to the public starting this Wednesday, November 19 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time.
The event, which takes place at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. on Saturday, January 24, features a dream match-up between World Alliance of Mixed Martial Arts Heavyweight Champion, Fedor "The Last Emperor" Emelianenko and top-ranked heavyweight contender Andrei "The Pitbull" Arlovski. The two adversaries will be battling it out in hand-to-hand combat for the WAMMA championship belt and to prove who will be recognized as the dominant heavyweight mixed martial artist of the world.
Fedor "The Last Emperor" Emelianenko
Ticket prices range from $50-$450 and can be purchased starting Wednesday through Ticketmaster (all Ticketmaster outlets, by phone at 714-740-2000 or online at www.ticketmaster.com) and starting Thursday, November 20, at Honda Center Box Office (714-704-2500).
Affliction's "Day of Reckoning", the most talked about event in MMA today, is brought to you by Affliction Entertainment, along with its partners, the Trump Organization, Golden Boy Promotions, and M-1 Global, and is scheduled to include 11 bouts of fierce, full-throttle battle. In addition to the main event featuring Fedor vs. Arlovski, other top-ranked MMA competitors will appear on this extraordinary fight card including: Josh Barnett, Renato "Babalu" Sobral, Vitor Belfort and Matt Lindland. Much to the satisfaction of anxious bloggers and fans alike, the complete fight card will be announced shortly.
Widely considered the greatest heavyweight mixed martial artist in the history of the sport, reigning champion Fedor Emelianenko (28-1, 6KOs, 15 Submissions) is seemingly invincible with two victories over the current UFC Heavyweight Champion Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Noguiera. This imposing athlete consistently dominates his opponents, utilizing his astounding strength, technique, and strategy to his advantage. This is only the third time US-based MMA fans have had the opportunity to see this international champion compete live and in-person on U.S. soil. At "Affliction Banned" in July, Fedor quickly demolished former heavyweight champ Tim Sylvia in just 36 seconds. With hisforceful takedowns and ground control skills, Fedor is the most devastating fighter on the MMA landscape today. He'll have an opportunity to prove this yet once again!
Andrei Arlovski (14-5, 8KOs, 3 Submissions) is considered one of the top-ranked heavyweights in the sport today and one of the most, well-rounded MMA competitors in the world. He is also quickly becoming one of the most dangerous strikers in the sport, as evidenced by his recent knockout victories over Ben Rothwell at "Affliction Banned" and Roy Nelson in EliteXC's Heat. A hard-hitting and fast-moving fighter, Arlovski has incredible mobility and striking power. Against the savage force of the Last Emperor, Arlovski will look to dethrone Fedor, and make this match-up one of the most exciting and stylistically impressive fights in MMA history.

Malloy's 1993 lawsuit still felt as amateur women's boxing continues to grow
Malloy's 1993 lawsuit still felt as amateur women's boxing continues to grow
TONY BRIGGMIN - THE BELLINGHAM HERALD
Fifteen years after Dallas Malloy's legal victory against USA Boxing, the impact of the decision continues to reverberate.
According USA Boxing, the sport's amateur governing body has seen its membership of female athletes grow to 2,370 as of December 2007, and internationally, more than 120 countries and approximately 30,000 athletes participate in the sport. A record 208 boxers from 44 federations registered for the Fifth AIBA Women's World Championships to be held Nov. 22-30 in Ningbo, China .
In response to the sport's growing popularity, the International Boxing Association (AIBA) submitted a formal application in October to the International Olympics Committee to include women's boxing in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
Fifteen years after historic bout, Malloy still taking on all challenges
Boxing is the only sport on the Olympic program without a female counterpart. The AIBA says the IOC Executive Board is expected to rule on the proposal in late 2009.
"The level of boxing is very high, very good," AIBA president Wu Ching-Kuo told the Associated Press in August. "Many of our federations have asked us to support women's boxing in the Olympics. We hope we'll soon have the women competing there."
Washington state could have its share of Olympics contenders.
Grace Parks, 28, of Bellingham, USA Boxing's second-ranked light middleweight, is a four-time Golden Gloves winner and three-time national silver medalist.
Queen Underwood of Seattle is USA Boxing's top-ranked light welterweight. Jessica Chambers of Tacoma is the fifth-ranked lightweight. And Jackie Peterson of Vancouver is the third-ranked welterweight.
