Perry frustrated with Margarito’s untimely Retirement‏

When junior middleweight Abel “Truth Serum” Perry received word that he’d be facing Antonio Margarito May 26, the Colorado City native was confident that a victory over the former three-time welterweight champion would lead to the kind of opportunity he’s dreamed of since day one.
With many ups and downs during his 6 ½ year pro career, Perry, 18-5 (9 KO’s), won five straight bouts and believed that May 26 would be his sixth. This was until Margarito injured his Achilles 12 days before fight night and the bout was postponed until July.
“Everything was rescheduled for July 7 to my knowledge and I actually saw on the internet that the fight was going to take place on the 21st,” said Perry. “To be honest, I assumed he wasn’t training because he looked heavy in recent photos.”
He also viewed the delay as something that would only benefit him leading up to the fight of his life.
“I was actually grateful for the postponement because many of my fights came on short notice or without a proper training camp. For the Margarito bout, my manager Bobby Dobbs sent me to a training camp in Big Bear Lake, CA where I was working with Carson Jones and Gennady Golovkin. I was sparring world class guys and the extra time would only give me a bigger advantage. This was the perfect situation.”
To his unpleasant surprise, Margarito announced his retirement on June 8, canceling the fight altogether while leaving Perry without the career-changing opportunity.
“It left a sour taste in my mouth. I felt wronged because they changed the date multiple times and I committed so much time preparing for this fight, while I could’ve been looking for another fight. Everybody was writing me off and they expected Margarito to run right through me. If he’s retiring because he doesn’t have what it takes to fight top guys any longer and I’m supposedly a “safe opponent,” why not face me in a farewell fight?”
“This was a major letdown and Margarito handled this like anything but a professional,” stated Dobbs. “My fighter was in camp getting ready to pull off the upset, only for Margarito to cancel the bout after agreeing to reschedule it. I understand that he’s taken a ton of punishment during his career and didn’t want to fight again, but since this is the case, why even sign to face Abel?”
While Dobbs explores other suitable options, Perry will remain at Big Bear as a sparring partner for Jones and Golovkin.

Maurice Byarm Training Update!‏

American heavyweight hopeful Maurice “Freight Train” Byarm hates being reminded that his next bout, a Friday Night Fights showdown against cement-fisted Russian Magomed Abdusalamov, takes place July 6.
This isn’t because he’s worried about challenging the undefeated Russian southpaw, it’s due to the fact that he still has to wait more than three weeks until the opening bell.
“Anticipation kills me,” said Byarm, a likable second-generation pugilist. “To be honest, I wish the fight was even sooner!”
To prepare for his highly touted foe, Byarm runs five miles each day and trains at two DC-area gyms with heavyweight contenders Tony Thompson and Malik Scott. Additionally, Byarm, 13-1-1 (9 KO’s), is confident that he’ll perform better than he did in his last bout, a close decision loss to Bryant Jennings.
Under the watchful eye of manager Mike Harris and legendary trainer Adrian Davis, Byarm’s sticking to the basics as he maps out his plan to defeat Abdusalamov.
“He’s a strong puncher but doesn’t like to use his jab,” noted Byarm. “We’ve been working on avoiding his left hand because that’s his biggest weapon. Come July 6, I’m going to put on a good show. This is going to be a great night of boxing and the fans will be treated to an exciting match up between two aggressive heavyweights. I’ve never been so ready for a fight; I wish it was today!”

Olympic boxer Teofilo Stevenson dies


A Cuban sports official says three-time Olympic boxing gold medalist Teofilo Stevenson has died.
The official says the 60-year-old fighter died Monday of a heart attack. The official agreed to confirm the death on condition of anonymity because the government has not made an official announcement. The official did not offer further details.
With a devastating right hand, he won gold medals as a heavyweight fighter in three consecutive Olympics—1972 in Munich, 1976 in Montreal and 1980 in Moscow. That made him only the second amateur boxer at the time to have won three gold medals.
Earlier this year, he called his appearances at the Olympics "the greatest memories" of his life.
