Big Time - Bernard Dunne's Fight for Glory now online

Big Time - Bernard Dunne's fight for Glory is the acclaimed documentary which goes behind the scenes and features Dunne and his promoter Brian Peters as they travel the road to European title glory is noe available to watch online from the RTÉ website - http://www.rte.ie/sport/other/2008/1230/dunneb_av.html

The documentary covers Dunne’s return home to Ireland following a three year apprenticeship in the U.S. under boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard and renowned trainer Freddie Roach.

The Dubliner quickly became a household name in Ireland reeling off a string of impressive victories before challenging for the European title at a sold out Point Theatre in his native city. An emotion charged night saw Dunne become champion of Europe with a career best performance and two successful defences followed.

However Dunne’s world fell apart at the hands of Kiko “La Sensación” Martinez with the Spanish wrecking ball ripping Dunne’s title away in just 86 seconds.

Since then Dunne has picked up the pieces and rebuilt his career with three straight wins as he build toward the ultimate prize – a world title fight in 2009.

“Big Time” tells that story with incredible highs, wounding lows and fearless ambition, all set against the tough and at times cruel backdrop of professional boxing.

Big Time: Bernard Dunne's Fight for Glory is produced for RTÉ by Liberty Films with funding support from Sound & Vision, a Broadcasting Commission of Ireland initiative.

Winky Wright vs Paul Williams


Former World Champion Winky Wright sustained a left hand injury during sparring that causes him to withdraw from his December 4th bout against Michi Munoz. Rumor has it that Winky Wright will return to the ring on HBO on March 14, 2009 against Paul Williams, who holds the WBO interim title at 154 pounds.

Was the so call injury all a publicity stunt to go after Paul Williams? I honestly think many fans including myself have forgotten about Winky Wright, he hasn’t fought since he lost to Bernard Hopkins in July 2007. Do you consider Winky Wright to be a fan favorite?

See you at the Fights.
Thanks for your time.

Holyfield confident of success against Valuev Saturday’s PPV card live from Switzerland



ZURICH, Switzerland- Evander Holyfield is convinced that neither size nor age will matter in Saturday´s showdown with WBA heavyweight champion Nikolai Valuev. The 46-year-old challenger is determined to become the oldest heavyweight champion in the history of boxing when he takes on “The Russian Giant” in front of a sellout crowd of 12,500 fans in Zurich, Switzerland. In order to put his name in the record books, though, he needs to defeat the biggest and tallest champion of all time.

“I will display a performance that will surprise many people,” Holyfield said at today´s official press conference. “I have been asked about my age so many times but that is fine. It is not about how old you are. It is about how old you feel and what you can do inside the ring. I am very
experienced and I know what I have to do against Valuev. I am in great shape and I really look forward to Saturday night.”

Valuev-Holyfield is promoted by Wilfried Sauerland’s Sauerland Event and its Managing Director, Christian Meyer, in association with Don King Productions. The broadcast is being distributed in the United States by Integrated Sports for live viewing at 3 PM/ET – 12 PM/PT on both cable and satellite pay-per-view via iN Demand, TVN and DISH Network for a suggested retail price of only $24.95. A same night replay will be available at 9:00 PM/ET – 6:00 PM/PT. Award-winning announcers Nick Charles and Al Bernstein will call all of the action.

Valuev will make his second appearance in Switzerland after stopping Jameel McCline in the third round of their meeting in January 2007. “It is great to be back in Switzerland,” Valuev said. “It is a great country and the people are very nice. It is something very special to fight an accomplished champion such as Evander Holyfield. He is a living legend and I am full of respect for him. However, once you are inside the ring, neither names nor titles, matter any more. I have trained very well and I will put on a good performance on Saturday night.”

Manager Wilfried Sauerland admitted the showdown will be one of the biggest fights he has ever staged. “This is a very special bout,” he said. “Holyfield has been heavyweight champion four times. He faces the biggest champion of all time. It is a clash of the superlatives.”

Philippe Huber, CEO of co-organizers Kentaro, believes that Saturday´s clash will help to put Switzerland on the world boxing map. “We are keen to establish Switzerland as a top venue for great boxing fights,” he said. “This is truly an outstanding event.”

A relaxed Holyfield also happily answered questions that were not related to boxing. A curious reporter wanted to know whether he really lived in a house with more than 100 rooms. “Yes, that is true,” Holyfield said. “I have been blessed and I am very thankful for my lifestyle. I have worked very hard for it and that is what I will do on Saturday night: Work hard to win the title.”

Asked about how many rooms his house in Russia has, Valuev smiled and answered. “My new house is not finished yet. These kinds of things take a little longer in Russia.”

Also on PPV is an 8-round super middleweight bout between Danish southpaw Mads “Golden Boy” Larsen (50-2, 37 KOs), former IBO title-holder, and 5-time world kickboxing and Thai boxing champion, Roberto Cocco (9-2, 5 KOs), from Italy.

Highlights from some other fights on the card, time permitting, may be shown including a 12-round co-feature matching two undefeated heavyweights, German-based, Italian-born southpaw Francesco Pianeta (17-0, 11 KOs) defending his European heavyweight title against French challenger Johann Duhaupas (17-0, 10 KOs); former New York Knicks dancer Eileen “The Hawaiian Mongoose” Olszewski (5-2-1, 0 KOs) defending her WIBA flyweight title against undefeated German favorite Nadia Raoul (9-0, 3 KOs); heavyweight Oleg Platov (26-1, 22 KOs) versus Jason Gavern (15-4-3, 8 KOs), cruiserweights Jimmy Kapanov (8-0, 5 KOs) and Paolo Ferrara (25-13-1, 7 KOs); heavyweight Timor Ibragimov (24-2-1, 13 KOs) vs. TBA.

Kevin “Kingpin” Johnson


If you ask Kevin “Kingpin” Johnson, he would tell you he’d fight anyone that you put in front of him, and he wouldn’t be lying. Since first turning pro on February 13, 2003, the Star Boxing prospect has been telling anyone who would listen he was destined to become the next great heavyweight champion. Now 21 wins later against 0 defeats, Johnson is willing to put everything on the line, including a very good friendship, by challenging fellow American heavyweight hopeful Chris “Nightmare” Arreola (26-0 with 23 KOs). Arreola last fought on November 29th on HBO against Travis Walker (28-2-1, 22KO) stopping Walker in the third round.

Johnson’s promoter, Star Boxing CEO Joe DeGuardia said, “We think that Kevin is the best heavyweight in the world. On the other hand, Chris thinks he is the best and has his people telling him the same thing. Depending on who you talk to in the industry, one person will say Kevin is the best, another will say Chris is. So let’s decide who actually is the best and have these two great heavyweight prospects fight each other, plain and simple,” said “It would be a great fight for the fans, a great fight for the heavyweight division and a great fight for the U.S. The winner clearly cements themselves as THE best American heavyweight… and THE rightful challenger to the heavyweight champions out there.”

See you at the Fights.

Leave Shane Mosley Alone


The World Boxing Council has begun an investigation of Shane Mosley in the wake of the recent publication of Mosley’s sworn testimony that he used BALCO’s potent and highly controlled performance-enhancing drugs in the lead-up to a 2003 fight against Oscar De La Hoya.

“It was a real surprise to read that Mosley has confessed that he did take those medicines, those drugs that are totally prohibited by the WBC,” said Jose Sulaiman, the WBC’s president. “The WBC rules state that we must have a hearing. This is a matter of serious concern to us.”

About three months after Mosley won a WBC junior middleweight title in that 2003 fight, he sat before a grand jury describing the potent regimen of steroids and EPO he had used for his training. The Daily News published portions of his testimony earlier this month, along with doping calendars.

Mosley has maintained that he did not know the drugs he was taking were banned or illegal.

Monday, Sulaiman directed his group’s legal counsel to gather evidence on the Mosley matter and put it before the WBC’s 29-member board of governors, which can then vote on sanctions. The rules allow the organization to issue disqualifications or severe fines, even after a fight has concluded.

“Thus far the WBC has seen only press reports, and must therefore investigate any available evidence and review it, in terms of the WBC rules and regulations’ anti-doping provisions” said the WBC’s legal counsel, Robert Lenhardt.

Lenhardt’s efforts will coincide with a hearing, scheduled for Jan. 15, in an old defamation case that Mosley brought in federal court in California in the spring against BALCO founder Victor Conte. The suit was dropped by Mosley in August and immediately refiled in New York state court.

The California defamation suit claims that Conte told newspapers, including The News, that Conte watched as Mosley injected himself with EPO and that he knew what he was using. Conte’s lawyers have filed a motion seeking attorney’s fees and sanctions in that case, which they called an “abusive and meritless action.”

They invoked California’s laws designed to protect plaintiffs from meritless lawsuits meant to silence public participants. Mosley’s lawyer, Judd Burstein, filed a cross motion asking for attorney’s fees and costs in defending Conte’s motion. When contacted by The News Monday night, Burstein cut short an attempt to ask him about the WBC investigation.

Conte, who is in possession of the grand jury transcripts because he was an original defendant in the BALCO prosecution, told The News Monday night that he is “more than willing to cooperate with any investigation of Shane Mosley’s use of performance-enhancing drugs.”

I just hope they leave Shane Mosley alone till after the fight against Antonio Margarito. I don’t want Mosley to say “I lost to Margarito because I was not focus, thanks to the World Boxing Council.”


See you at the Fights.
Thanks for your time.

David Haye vs Vitali Klitschko


The Men’s Health website just release a picture of the British boxer David Haye holding Vitali’s brother Wladimir Klitschko’s severed head. It’s gory. It’s deliberately provocative. And like most boxing trash-talk, it’s also (I think) quite funny. But when Haye’s team tossed a copy of the issue at Vitali in a German restaurant, he reportedly went beserk, grabbing Haye by the collar and vowing brutal revenge.

David Haye has enraged the Ukrainian heavyweight Vitali Klitschko so much that he has agreed to fight Haye in June, probably for a world title.

The Ukrainian was later reported to have said: “It is difficult to describe my feelings. There is David Haye on the photo laughing with the head of my brother… he overstepped the mark. He must pay for this photo… I will enter the ring with a cold heart.”

Between them, the Klitschko brothers hold three of the four available world heavyweight titles. Haye wants them all, and has been agitating for a fight with either brother for the last 12 months, despite the fact that they are champions of long-standing, whereas Haye has fought only one proper bout at heavyweight since becoming the undisputed cruiserweight champion in March this year.

This was the key to riling one of the Klitschkos into fighting him for a title.

As Haye’s publicist said to me yesterday, “Men’s Health could be the first magazine to get a heavyweight title fight going!”

SecondsOut Radio: Johnny Bos Talks Boxing

SecondsOut Radio: Johnny Bos Talks Boxing On this week's edition of SecondsOut Radio, host Eddie Goldman had thepleasure of speaking with one of the most knowledgeable people alivein the sport of boxing, the legendary matchmaker Johnny Bos (*http://myspace.com/snoopbee). Right after the marathon of televised fights on Saturday, December 13,we had a lengthy discussion by telephone about the fights themselves and also numerous pressing issues in boxing. We began with the Yuri Foreman-James Moore junior middleweight fight, won by Foreman by alopsided ten-round unanimous decision (Johnny is Yuri's matchmaker). We also analyzed the Kendall Holt-Demetrius Hopkins, James Toney-Fres Oquendo, Wladimir Klitschko-Hasim Rahman, and Shawn Estrada-Shaun Spaid fights, as well as the Tomasz Adamek-Steve Cunningham and Joseph Agbeko-William Gonzalez fights from Thursday, December 11. Interspersed in our discussion were commentaries on why boxing is killing itself today, why young fighters are not being developed properly, how boxing is more "crooked" today than in the past, whichmajor promoter has a history of putting on the best and most competitive cards, the many obstacles Johnny is trying to overcome to continue working in boxing, and more. Johnny is a one-of-a-kind personality and a genuine throwback to theglory days of boxing, so this interview should stimulate some very lively and absolutely necessary discussion about the fate of the sport and business of boxing.

James Toney defeats Fres Oquendo, Andre Ward stops Esteban Camou


Heavyweight James Toney (71-6-3, 43 KOs) won a tactical twelve round split decision over Fres Oquendo (29-4, 18 KOs) on Saturday night at the Morongo Casino Resort & Spa in Camazon, California. Toney prevailed on two cards 115-112, 114-113, while Oquendo was up 116-111 on the third card. Oquendo, who closed the bout stronger, was deducted a point in round eight for a low blow that cost him a draw.

Super middleweight contender Andre Ward (17-0, 12 KOs) was impressive in stopping hard-hitting Esteban Camou (23-5, 19 KOs) in the third round. Ward dictated the pace from the beginning of the fight and outboxed Camou for most of the fight. Ward hurt Camou against the ropes and threw non-stop until referee Pat Russell stepped in and stopped the bout at 2:46. “He was a tough fighter, but I eventually wore him down,” said Ward, who is tentatively scheduled to fight in February in his hometown of Oakland.

Andre Ward (L)



2008 U.S. Olympian Shawn Estrada (2-0, 2 KOs) dropped Shaun Spaid (3-3, 2 KOs) twice before the mismatch was mercifully called off by referee Dr. Lou Moret 47 seconds into the first round.

HOLT HANDLES HOPKINS, RETAINS TITLE WITH SPLIT DECISION;



ATLANTIC CITY, NJ.– Kendall Holt successfully retained his World Boxing Organization (WBO) Jr. Welterweight world title against previously undefeated Demetrius Hopkins Saturday night by split decision on a special edition of ShoBox: The New Generation. Scores were 116-112, 117-111 for Holt and 115-113 for Hopkins.



In the jr. middleweight co-feature, Yuri Foreman’s speed and footwork proved too much for his opponent. Foreman nearly shut out James Moore in the 10-round bout. Scores were 100-90, 99-90, 99-91.


Saturday’s fight card was presented by Bob Arum’s Top Rank Inc. from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.

Holt of Paterson, N.J. improved his record to 25-2 (13 KOs) while Hopkins of Philadelphia, Pa. falls to 28-1-1 (11 KOs).

Hopkins, who was initially scheduled to fight on the undercard against Germaine Sanders, stepped into the main event after Holt’s original opponent, Ricardo Torres, withdrew from the fight due to illness.

“Champions aren't born. They're made by overcoming adversity," said Holt after the fight. "And I've faced adversity since I was a child. This past week wasn't anything new for me."

World Boxing Council (WBC) 140-pound champion Timothy “Desert Storm” Bradley sat ringside Saturday and got an up close and personal look at his next opponent. Bradley and Holt will meet in a world title unification fight early next year on SHOWTIME.

"Kendall Holt was aggressive tonight,” said Bradley. “That was something to see. He looked very impressive. We are two young, great champions and this will be good for boxing."

Bradley, of Palm Springs, Calif., is enjoying a meteoric rise to the top of the 140-pound division. Bradley defeated Junior Witter in England on May 10, 2008 to capture the title. He went on to successfully defend it just four months later against Edner Cherry on Sept. 13 on SHOWTIME.

Calzaghe says boxing is dying with too few stars


Calzaghe says boxing is dying with too few stars
Associated Press Sports


LONDON- Joe Calzaghe believes boxing is on the ropes, with too many titles and champions and few real stars.

Still to decide whether to quit after beating Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr. this year to take his unbeaten record to 46 fights, Calzaghe said Wednesday he was glad he was almost on the way out of the sport instead of just starting out.

"I think boxing is a dying sport. Globally - in America for instance - you've got UFC, which has taken a lot off boxing, business-wise,'' Calzaghe said, referring to the mixed martial arts Ultimate Fighting Championship.

But the Welshman, who held the WBO super-middleweight world title for more than 10 years before moving up to light-heavyweight to fight Hopkins and Jones, said boxing also had its own internal problems.

"There is too much politics in boxing, too many belts and too many champions, which dilutes real champions like myself,'' he said. "There are four world champions in each division and it's bad because there are no stars any more. It's a big problem.''

Calzaghe also noted that the United States won only one medal at the Beijing Games - a bronze by heavyweight Deontay Wilder - which points to a grim future for American boxing.

"America only had one medalist in the Olympics this year,'' Calzaghe said. "In Britain, we did pretty good, but I'm glad I'm ending my career and not starting it because I don't think it's going to be that great in the future.''

Results from IBF Title Championship bouts; Steve Cunningham vs. Tomasz Adamek, Joseph Abegeko vs William Gonzalez Dec.11th 2008 in Newark, NJ

De ULTIMATE COMMANDER, Tomasz Adamek and KC


Round One- Adamek being the more aggressive in the early rounds Cunningham comes back with punches of his own late in the round.

Round Two- Cunningham with a little taunting after little flurries from Adamek. Both throwing combos at one another. Adamek knocking down Cunningham in the late seconds of the round.

Round Four- Cunningham throwing flurries early in the round. Adamek coming back with another knockdown late in the round.

Round Five- Cunningham getting hit by combos throughout the round trying to come back with punches of his own.

Round Eight- Cunningham hitting Adamek with big shots. Adamek coming back with flurries landing on Cunningham. Adamek knocking Cunningham down again late in the round. Adamek throwing flurries at Cunningham until the end of the round.

Round Eleven- Early in the round Cunningham comes out aggressive landing powerful punches. Adamek coming back with counter punches.

Tomasz Adamek wins by decision

At the press conference, Cunningham went straight to it that he wants a rematch with Adamek. Cunningham thought he won all the rounds except the knockdown rounds. But in my eyes it seemed Cunningham was getting stunned the entire fight due to his lack of defense and going toe to toe with a much stronger opponent.

Mrs Cunningham (wife), Steve USS Cunningham and De ULTIMATE COMMANDER


Adamek won the fight but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a rematch due to the excitement in all rounds. Adamek said at the press conference that it didn’t matter who he fought next as long as the people were glad to watch it. But Adamek’s manager said it depends on the money.

Don King


I believe if Don King wants to promote another big fight it should be a Cunningham-Adamek 2 by putting a lot of money into the fight. If the fight happens it could be the fight of the summer.

Joseph Agbeko vs. William Gonzalez

First Round- Agbeko landed a crushing blow to Gonzalez early in the round stunning him. Gonzalez landed a low blow to Agbeko.

Second Round- Gonzalez and Agbeko throwing powerful punches but Gonzalez landing more with him winning the round.

No Holds Barred: The Grappling Revival

No Holds Barred: The Grappling Revival

http://nhbnews.podOmatic.com/entry/2008-12-12T12_16_02-08_00

On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman discusses an important development in the combat sports: the revival and resurgence of numerous important events in various styles of grappling.

As has been reported on the ADCC News (http://www.adcombat.com/), not only are plans moving forward for the 2009 Abu Dhabi Submission Wrestling World Championship, which will likely be held in late summer at a site to be determined, but there also has been an announcement that a new International Professional Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IPJJF) will start running events in 2009. The World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Cup will take place in April 2009, with trials in Brazil, the U.S., Canada, Japan, Europe, and Australia. More information on that will also be announced shortly.

In college wrestling in the U.S., a new all-time attendance record was set Saturday, December 6, when 15,955 fans jammed into Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City to see the top-ranked University of Iowa Hawkeyes defeat their intrastate rivals, the second-ranked Iowa State Cyclones, by a score of 20-15. That broke the old record of 15,646, set on Feb. 1, 2002, when Minnesota hosted Iowa at the Target Center in Minneapolis.

In the sport of sumo wrestling, a new professional company called the International Sumo League plans to run a tour of the U.S., starting Sunday, April 5, 2009, at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut, and culminating with a planned championship tournament in Madison Square Garden Saturday, November 7, 2009. Organized by some of the same people who ran the World Sumo League in 2005 and 2006, they are in talks with CBS Sports about televising their shows.

Taken together, it is clear that there is a grappling revival going on, and that is what we discuss on this edition of No Holds Barred.

Also, No Holds Barred is available through iTunes at http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=150801513&s=143441.

The show is in MP3 format, so may take some time to download.

The No Holds Barred theme song is called "The Heist", by musician Ian Carpenter (http://iancarpenter.com/).

Make sure to check out my regular weekly boxing show SecondsOut Radio, at http://www.secondsout.com/radio/. On this week's edition of SecondsOut Radio, we begin by discussing how the one-sided beatdown administered by Manny Pacquiao on Oscar De La Hoya this past Saturday, December 6, was symptomatic of the continuing decline of American boxing. With this decisive win by the much smaller Pacquiao over De La Hoya, American boxing now has no real superstars. We next discuss a local New York card which resulted in several surprises. Of the 13 fights on Ring Promotions' "Holiday Hits" show held Thursday, December 4, at the Roseland Ballroom in New York, there were four upsets, including in both of the featured bouts. Right after the fights concluded, we spoke with our colleague Keisha Morrisey to discuss this show. We also spoke with three of the victorious fighters: light heavyweight Will Rosinsky (3-0, 3 KOs), heavyweight Tor Hamer (2-0, 2 KOs), and veteran heavyweight Marcellus Brown (26-17-1, 22 KOs), who won his main event bout with Nagy Aguilera (10-1, 6 KOs) by disqualification.

Margarito vs.Mosley Jan 24th 2008 in Los Angeles, CA


Boxing is back at The Staples Center in downtown LA on Saturday, January 24th 2009. The two combatants are the Mexican favorite Antonio Margarito (37-5, 27 KO’s) putting his WBA Welterweight title on the line against Shane Mosley (45-5, 38 KO’s). Margarito is 30 and stands 5’11” and Mosley is 37 and goes 5’9”. The fight will be on HBO World Championship Boxing and starts at 7 pm PT. The press conference today brought out the brass from HBO, Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions to name a few. While there were no official signs or flashy posters yet, the fight looks to be billed as “The Battle for LA” per Bob Arum. The tickets are priced between $50 and $300 and the promoters put out an offer that would allow any fan that buys $1000 worth of tickets to receive a glove autographed by both fighters. It’s a steep price tag for the souvenir but not a bad idea either way.

Mosley now has Nazim Richardson as his trainer and team Margarito is intact with Sergio Diaz and Frank Espinoza.

Mosley and Nazim Richardson


Both fighters took the obligatory turn at the mike and both looked confident and relaxed. Both camps promised that this would be an action fight with both teams predicting obviously.

We all know Margarito will bring pressure and Mosley will look to use speed and angles. The same issue that will haunt De La Hoya may rear its head for Mosley in this fight. Mosley did not look pound for pound good in his last contest with Mayorga and he is now fighting a non-stop pressure fighter who can also take you out. Many will say this is a bad fight for Mosley as his opponent can make you look awful if you are not perfect like Pacquiao showed De La Hoya. On the other side, Mosley has made a career of beating “bigger” men; F. Vargas, Mayorga, A. Diaz, Stone and he went 12 rounds with Miguel Cotto. Can Mosley out box Margarito while piling up points of his own or can he KO Margarito, Mosley says “He is going to end up getting knocked out because he’ll come right at me and I’ll catch him.” I favor Margarito based more on Mosley’s last outing and his age and a loss of reflex and speed. However, Mosley has never been knocked out and has been in with big punchers. Shane can hang in for 12 rounds and he can cause Marg. some problems but he has to have a great game plan and the will to stick with it. This fight is a litmus test for Mosley’s career. If he wins he is still a major player in the division and could look to rematch Cotto. A loss, especially a bad one, would probably mean another Golden Boy associate sticks to promoting 100% of the time. Crossroads fights are sure fun aren’t they?

See you at the Fights and Thanks for your time.
