in front a lively crowd in Riyadh this evening. In June,
Ruiz (33-1, 22 KOs) spoiled the U.S. debut of
then-undefeated Heavyweight kingpin Joshua (22-1, 21
KOs), leaving New York as the unified IBF, WBA, WBO and

one of the largest upsets in Heavyweight boxing history,

such as Buster Douglas’ shocking victory over Mike Tyson
and Hasim Rahman’s knockout win over Lennox Lewis.

Feast Boxing Card:
Fans Served Up A Full Plate Of Excitement |

By William Trillo
This past weekend in Las Vegas The Cosmopolitan Casino
hosted a boxing card that reminded me of why I love the
sport of boxing so much. There were more feel good
moments on this one card than we have possibly seen all
year combined. For those who follow the sport this was
truly a great night. It’s not a coincidence that this
card did not feature any money hungry Prima Donna’s of
fighters more interested in Instagram followers than
they are taking on viable opponents. What this card did
feature was budding stars, hungry opponents and
over-achievers who just wanted a chance to prove they
belong. That was a recipe for a fight card we all should
be thankful for.

Photos: Mikey Williams -
Top Rank
Former featherweight world champion Oscar Valdez's super
featherweight debut was a doozy. Valdez (27-0, 21 KOs)
got off the deck to stop late replacement Adam Lopez in
seven rounds in a barnburner of a main event in front of
a packed house at The Chelsea inside The Cosmopolitan of
Las Vegas.
Valdez was knocked down in the second round, only to
come back to knock down Lopez (13-2) with a left hook in
the seventh. A follow-up barrage caused referee Russell
Mora to stop the bout with seven seconds remaining in
the round.

Special Turkey Award |
|
By William Trillo
As per our custom, Pound4Pound likes to kick off the
Holiday Season with it’s yearly Turkey of The Year
Award. You know the drill, go through a list of
candidates that have gone over and above the call of
duty to embarrass boxing, “photochop” their head onto a
funny looking turkey and list their less than tolerable
achievements for the year. It’s become a ritual that I
always look forward to. The list of recipients is
endless, fighters, promoters and referees have all taken
home the Golden Bird.
But this year we opened up a special category for a
newbie in the boxing game who stepped up and really
shamed boxing in a way that deserves this very special
and unique award. Normally we hand out the award on
Thanksgiving Day but as you will find out, there was a
reason for the delay.

New Opponent For Havnaa,
Gudino Replaces Sands |
|
Kai Robin Havnaa (15-0, 13
KOs) has a new opponent set for his cruiserweight clash
on Saturday night with Mariano Angel Gudino (13-3, 8
KOs) replacing Al Sands, who has withdrawn from their
scheduled contest.
“It’s not ideal to get a new opponent this close to a
fight,” says Havnaa. “Especially at this level. All my
sparring and preparation has been for Sands, but now I
have to forget about him and adapt for a different
style. Gudino is as good as Sands. He is a tough
Argentinian who I know will come to fight.”
