  ESPN's "Friday Night Fights" Results
Consensus: Rodriguez Robbed
 
Earlier tonight, Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing and Warriors Boxing presented an action-packed seven bout card before a jam packed house at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, OK. The show, broadcast live on ESPN's "Friday Night Fights" was headlined by IBF #3 rated welterweight contender, Delvin Rodriguez taking on England's Ashley Theophane, in a ten round welterweight contest.

Both fighters came out and immediately began firing shots, setting the pace right from the get go. The taller Rodriguez was the more accurate of the two, with Theophane looking to land looping shots over Rodriguez's stiff jab.

  Hamburg District Court Awards
An Injunction Against JC Gomez
 
Today Hamburg district awarded an injunction against Juan Carlos Gomez regarding his latest statements against ARENA and promoter Ahmet Öner. According to the judgment Gomez is not allowed to claim that Öner still owes him money or that he has been intimated by ARENA staff in order to sign a new promotional contract.

"The court statement is very clear – Juan is a liar", says Ahmet Öner. "We are suing him for libel and after the injunction I am pretty sure that we will win the case. Proof for all payments made to him are on file. Juan earned the highest purses of his career while fighting for ARENA. It’s sad that he needs to insult people to get some publicity because he’s just no good anymore. But to be honest – who cares about Gomez anyways?"

Speak No Evil, See No Evil, Hear No Evil
 
By William Trillo

At first I didn't know why, but every time I started kicking around the latest Chapter in the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao negotiations that age old proverb about the 3 wise monkeys kept coming to my mind. Not wanting to let my instinct go to waste I did a little research.

According to Wikipedia.com there are various meanings ascribed to the monkeys but in the western world the proverbial principle is often used to refer to those who deal with impropriety by looking the other way, refusing to acknowledge it, or feigning ignorance.

  Time To Meet – Randy Caballero  
By Barbara Pinnella
There is a new young gun in the Featherweight division, 19-year-old Randy Caballero. If you go to see Caballero fight, don’t stop to get a drink first. If you do, the chances are you will miss him. He has had four professional fights, and in those four fights he has fought the same number of rounds. His last fight lasted a whole two minutes, way longer than his other three, which went 0.56, 0.43, and 0.49.

But don’t even think that Randy has just appeared out of nowhere. He told me he’s had roughly 170 amateur fights with 10 or 11 losses. Sounds like a lot of fights for someone as young as he, but he started fighting when he was eight, which means he already has 11 years under his belt.

  Rodriguez Hungrier Than Ever,
Looking To Shine On ESPN Friday Night
 
"HUNGRY". It is a term heard in boxing very often. Before their first fight, boxers are often considered hungry, hungry to get inside the ring and get their career underway. After a few wins, they are hungry to then prove that they are a legitimate prospect. After reaching prospect status, boxers are said to become hungry to get to the level where they are considered a top contender. Contenders have been known as hungry in their quest to get a shot at a championship. It's almost something fighters become programmed to say, but when Star Boxing's Delvin Rodriguez tells you, "I am hungry" there is something different about it. You can see it in his eyes, and you can hear it in his voice. Just sitting down with Rodriguez for a few minutes, or watching an intense training session with the top rated welterweight, is all you need to realize just how hungry he actually is. This Friday night in the main event on ESPN's "Friday Night Fights", the IBF #3 rated Rodriguez (25-4-2, 14KO's) will look to put that hunger on display when he takes on Ashley Theophane (26-4-1, 7KO's) in a ten round welterweight contest at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, Oklahoma.

  Marquez vs. Diaz II Fight Week Notes  
Danny Jacobs, Robert Guerrero and Rocky Juarez are always motivated to succeed when they step into the ring, but this Saturday night, there is more than just winning on their minds.  The three pugilists are all fighting for loved ones who have given them strength and encouragement in their careers and in their lives.

Jacobs is dedicating his fight to his grandmother Cordelia Jacobs, also known "Lady Bird," who passed away Saturday night from lung cancer just months after being diagnosed.  Jacobs was already planning on dedicating his first title fight to his grandmother, who helped raise the Brooklyn native and, as a devout Jehovah's Witness, never actually saw any of Jacobs' fights.  With her sudden passing, thoughts and prayers are with Jacobs and his family during this difficult time.

  HBO'S Greenburg Says,
Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Negotiations Took Place
 
By William Trillo
Speaking to the claim by Leonard Ellerbe that stated Bob Arum might be lying in regard to negotiating with Ross Greenburg about a possible Manny vs. Floyd fight, HBO's Greenburg said, "Fights like Mayweather vs. Pacquiao are significant because of these fighters' ability to connect with sports fans around the world," said Greenburg. "It's unfortunate that it won't happen in 2010,"

"I had been negotiating with a representative from each side since May 2nd,(the day after Mayweather defeated Shane Mosley), carefully trying to put the fight together," said Greenburg. "Hopefully, someday this fight will happen. Sports fans deserve it."

                                                                                                                         
  Danny Jacobs Profile  
By Nat Gottlieb Courtesy of HBO.com
Daniel Jacobs calls himself "The Golden Child." He might consider changing it to "The Chosen One." With a resume that reads more prospect than contender, he was deemed by an alphabet body worthy of a fight for a vacant middleweight title on July 31. Just how good is he? We're about to find out.

Alan Hopper (Don King Productions, Public Relations Director) - On Saturday, August 7th, Don King Productions will present a world championship tripleheader, “Gateway to Greatness: The Homecoming” at Scottrade Center in St. Louis. We’ve heard a lot of talk recently from other boxing promoters wanting to present great top-to-bottom cards like Don King cards, but nobody does it like Don King himself. Before we get to the HBO Boxing After Dark co-featured main event fighters we have on our call today, I’d like to mention that we will also feature a domestically non-televised WBC/USNBC cruiserweight championship. Ryan Coyne is an undefeated cruiserweight at 14 and 0 from St. Louis who played collegiate football at Mizzou in 2001 and 2002 before becoming a professional boxer.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. & Miguel Cotto
Set To Face Off In Puerto Rico
 
By William Trillo

After Bob Arum announced that Manny Pacquiao would face Antonio Margarito in November, Floyd Mayweather Jr. made a trip to Puerto Rico and on the top of his list was a meeting with Super Welterweight Champ Miguel Cotto. On the surface it's reported that the two would sit down/face off and discuss combining their 2 promotional companies to put on some of their own promoted events.

One can't help but assume that the idea of the two fighters meeting somewhere down the road won't come up in their conversations. Frankly, the idea may be to both the fighters liking now that their supposed dance partner Manny Pacquiao has other plans to finish off his tear.

  One On One Video Interview
Pound4Pound Hot Prospect: Gary Russell Jr.
 
The main reason I put myself in for credentials to The Pechanga Resort & Casino this weekend was the fact that the hot Featherweight prospect Gary Russell Jr. was scheduled to be on the card. Much to my dismay Russell Jr. was moved to the Thursday night card in Los Angeles. Fortunately his fight was televised and what he did to the veteran Mauricio Pastrana was very impressive. The one round blow out speaks for itself. As it turned out, Russell Jr. attended the show in Pechanga on Friday night and we got to speak to the young man that we are tabbing as the next sure fire hit in the Featherweight division.

  McEwan Remains Undefeated;
Gets Decision Over Perez
 
By Barbara Pinnella
We returned to Pechanga for a Golden Boy Promotion event, televised by Telefutura, and I was glad to come back at this venue. The event was a sell-out, with extra seats brought in to accommodate the fans.

There was a twenty minute delay in the start of the event while the bottom ropes were wrapped with towels so that they met the standard for the Boxing Commission required thickness. Hmm, nobody was aware of that before hand?

The main event saw two Super Middleweights get in the ring for a scheduled 10 round contest. After an extremely hard fought contest, Craig McEwan (19-0, 10 KO’S) kept that ever-increasing win streak alive against Danny Perez (34-8, 17 KO’s). The victory was a majority decision; 95-95, 97-93, and 97-93. This was met with a chorus of boos from the patrician crowd.

  The Standing Eight Count -
Ringside at Pechanga for Solo Boxeo
 
By Dave Wilcox
A sold out crowd of 2475 jammed the beautiful Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, California for a good night of boxing action. This Golden Boy/Ringside Ticket promoted show was originally going to be a Sergio Mora headlined card. When it was announced that Mora secured a fight with “Sugar” Shane Mosley for the Staples Center in September, in came a middleweight bout with Craig McEwan taking on tough ring worm Danny Perez of Carlsbad, Ca. as the new main event.

“Scottish” Craig McEwan hails from Scotland, and is trained by Freddie Roach and fights out of the Wildcard gym in Hollywood, CA. Coming into this bout, McEwan sported an undefeated 18-0 record, but never had he been in with such a seasoned veteran like Perez. Danny Perez is a 14 year vet of the sweet science and has been in the ring with some of the best, including two fights with Antonio “Plasterito” Margarito.

  McEwan Gets Majority Nod At Pechanga  
Report & Photos By William Trillo

He was bloodied and thrown to the canvas but middleweight Craig McEwan (19-0, 10 KO's) weathered the storm that was brought on by rugged veteran Danny Perez (34-8, 17 KO's) and went on to win a hard fought majority decision.

From the first round McEwan knew he was in for a war as Perez pressed the action and he kept the fleet footed Scot on his toes. Cut over his right eye early McEwan picked up the action and landed numerous combinations on the charging Perez.

Boxing’s Most Mysterious World Champion
 
If not for a hand injury suffered in the opening round of the 2004 Olympic Games in Greece, reigning WBA and IBA Light Heavyweight Champion Beibut Shumenov certainly would be much better known today by North American boxing fans, especially if he advanced to the medal rounds and fought eventual gold-medal winner Andre Ward.

Shumenov (9-1, 6 KOs), who represented his native Kazakhstan at the Olympics, won his opening bout against Poland’s Aleksy Kuziemsky (37-22), who is 19-1 as a pro, before being hampered by his damaged hand and consequently eliminated in the round of 16 by Turkey’s Ihsan Yildorim Tarham (27-19).

  Shawn Estrada Ready For Return  
Report & Photos By William Trillo

It's been over a year for Super Middleweight Shawn Estrada (6-0, 6 KO's) but this Friday night in Leemore he will make his return to the ring against a tough foe, Alex Armenta (7-1, 6 KO's). To get ready for Armenta, Estrada spent some quality time sparring with WBC # 6 Super Middle Librado Andrade.

With his hand injuries behind him Estrada is ready to resume where he left off, and that's knocking out foes at a 100% clip. The young Estrada made the best of his opportunity with Andrade, took in all the veteran had to say and hopes it will translate into an impressive performance on Friday night.

  NYSAC Lifts Suspension Of
Golden Boy & Clears It's Name
 
NYSAC Lifts Suspension Of Golden Boy & Clears It's NameThe New York State Athletic Commission, after a hearing today, unanimously voted to lift the July 6, 2010 suspension of Golden Boy Promotions's New York boxing promoter's license. The Commission's Order, as well as its original Suspension Order, is attached hereto.

The Commission' ruling unequivocally demonstrates that certain members of the boxing press, particularly George Kimball, had been guilty of unprofessional and personally vindictive reporting that falsely claimed that Golden Boy had been suspended for unethical conduct - arising from supposed financial transactions relating to Golden Boy's May 15, 2010 event in New York - after a full hearing.

Ellerbe's Statement To Arum & Greenburg:
"Liar, Liar, Pants On Fire"
 
By William Trillo

When I left you with my thoughts yesterday I stated that Floyd Mayweather and his right hand man Leonard Ellerbe must be thrilled because Bob Arum showed his hand on this past weekends midnight teleconference.

Maybe Ellerbe was a little less than thrilled. Not wanting to be trumped by Arum, Ellerbe jumped into the high stakes game today by playing the "Liar Liar Pants On Fire" Card!

In a short statement sent to the media Ellerbe said, "Here are the facts. Al Haymon, Richard Schaefer and myself speak to each other on a regular basis and the truth is no negotiations have ever taken place nor was there ever a deal agreed upon by Team Mayweather or Floyd Mayweather to fight Manny Pacquiao on November 13. Either Ross Greenburg or Bob Arum is not telling the truth, but history tells us who is lying."

In 2006, Lyons shockingly TKO’ed Abell inside of one round when the latter was one of the hottest heavyweight prospects on the planet. Aside from scoring a jaw dropping stoppage, Lyons blatantly disrespected the Coon Rapids native during post fight interviews.

Meanwhile Uzelkov believes he has steadily improved and proven that he is ready to step into the spotlight and shine as boxing's next light heavyweight champion.

  Bradley, Angulo Get Big Wins  
By Barbara Pinnella
HBO’s Boxing After Dark televised two good fights for the fans this Saturday night. Timothy Bradley (26-0, 11 KO’s) not only kept his unbeaten streak alive while handing Luis Carlos Abregu (29-1-23 KO’s) his first lost of his professional career, but retained the WBO Junior Welterweight Championship as well.

Bradley was far and away the fan favorite here at the Agua Caliente Casino Resort in Rancho Mirage, California, as he is from nearby Palm Springs. The “Bradley” chants were heard frequently, and he definitely gave his fans something to cheer about. Later at the press conference Abregu did say that he injured his right hand, but make no mistake, Bradley came to win.

  Bradley Believable Welter; Angulo Wreaks Havoc  
Report & Photos By Roy & Marlene Marquez

Fighting for the first time as a welterweight since 2006, Timothy Bradley boxed and banged his way to a convincing twelve round decision over Argentine Luis Carlos Abregu before a packed house at the Agua Caliente Casino Resort in Rancho Mirage, CA. “You got to be a risk taker if you want to go somewhere in life and I’m a risk taker”, explained Bradley in stepping up to take on this challenge.

In a clash of undefeated fighters, Abregu climbed between the ropes the #5 rated welterweight in the world. Bradley entered the ring the reigning, but not defending, WBO Jr. Welterweight Champion and quickly sustained a cut in the first round following an accidental clash of heads. Increasingly aggressive in round two, Bradley raked Abregu with a straight right that wobbled the Argentine’s legs.

  Zab Judah Out To Make A Statement

When Zab Judah entered the ring Friday night at The Prudential Center, he had one thing on his mind. It wasn’t what is Timothy Bradley going to do the following night, and it wasn’t even what is Amir Khan going to be doing in the next couple months. But they might be interested in what he is thinking. The one thing on Zab Judah’s mind was proving to all watching that he belongs on top of the Junior Welterweight division. And by on top, he does not mean in the top ten or even top three. He made it clear that he intends to be the undisputed champion of the division.

  Alex Perez Wins By Unanimous
Decision Over Edvan Barros;
& The Undercard Results From The Prudential Center
 
By Tim Donaldson
Welterweight Alex Perez had nearly every conceivable advantage over Edvan Barros in his fight Friday night. He had height and reach. More importantly, he knew that he had a fight coming up for months. Barros, for his part, took this fight on short notice. Barros took the fight just six days ago. However, Barros proved to be a better opponent than might be expected. Even though Perez won, one could imagine a different outcome if Barros had had more time to prepare for this fight.

Perez might have been the taller opponent, but Barros used that against him. Barros would crouch down to allow himself to move inside. Perez was having trouble connecting when Barros would do this, sometimes just glancing the top of Barros’ head. The other thing that Barros had was movement. Perez seemed to want to stand and bang, but Barros was not about to let him do that in the first round.

  Bradley Outboxes Abregu, Calls Out Pacquiao  
Timothy Bradley (now 26-0, 11 KO's) made his debut at 147 and outboxed previously unbeaten Luis Carlos Abrgeu. Bradley was just too fast and too defensive for the bigger, but slower Abregu.

Bradley appeared to tire midway through, as has been in the case in some of his recent fights. From round 6 and on, Bradley was a "one and done" puncher, but it was enough to win the majority of rounds. Abregu had a few moments while Bradley was taking breather rounds, landing a few big left hooks that snapped Bradley's head back. Bradley's big head became a factor once again, causing two eye cuts (one on himself) from accidental headbutts. Bradley tried to score a few knockdown blows, but Abregu took each one and kept moving forward.


Final scores were 118-110, 116-112, 117-111.
Abregu falls to 29-1 with 23 KO's.

After the fight, Bradley once again felt he had to call out Manny Pacquiao. Does Bradley really think he's ready for an elite fighter such as Pacquiao?

                                                                                                                         
  Angulo Obliterates Alcine In Just One Round  
Alfredo Angulo (now 19-1, 16 KO's) became the WBC number 1 ranked light middleweight with a monstrous stoppage over Joachim Alcine. From the sound of the bell to begin the opening round, the two were in the center of the ring. Angulo landed a right that stunned Alcine who prompted to hold. Angulo being held by his left arm, began to throw non stop with his right. Alcine did not want to let go until another big right hand landed and send Alcine with his back to the ropes. Angulo began to unload rights and lefts, all connecting. Alcine trying to counter, was too slow and caught one too many punches. A right hand to the chin dropped Alcine's hands to which Angulo followed up with another left and right that also connected as referee Lou Moret had no choice but to jump in and waive it off with just one second in the round to go. Alcine was completely out on his feet. Alcine falls to 32-2 with 19 KO's.
                                                                                                                         
  Fernando Guerrero Defeats
Ishe Smith In Tough Distance Bout
Shawn Porter & Mike Dallas Jr. Score
Unanimous Decisions In ShoBox Tripleheader

Fernando Guerrero furthered his pursuit of middleweight stardom with a hard fought unanimous decision over veteran Ishe Smith in Friday’s ShoBox main event. Shawn Porter and Mike Dallas Jr. also took home unanimous decision victories at the DeSoto Civic Center in Southaven, Miss. to remain unbeaten.

Coming in to tonight’s matchup, Smith (21-5, 9 KOs) was quoted as saying, “I’m going to take Guerrero into deep waters and see if he can swim.” Guerrero (19-0, 15 KOs) proved to be a buoyant battler by withstanding an eighth round flash knockdown and ten rounds of body shots from Smith. Though most of the body work was legitimate, referee Randy Phillips twice warned Smith, of Las Vegas, Nev., for repeated low blows before deducting a point in the sixth round.

  Arum Declares Floyd Fight Dead For Now
Looks to Cut Deal With Pac's New November Opponent
But Floyd Fight Can Still Go On If........ (Audio)
 
By William Trillo
All the "deadline" did was end the exclusivity deal with Team Mayweather, Arum and Top Rank are now free to have talks with other opponents for the November date ie. Cotto or Margarito, but apparently if Floyd says jump everyone at the negotiation table will say "How High?"

Arum still feels there is a reason Floyd does not to want to fight this year, namely the fact that his trainer/Uncle Roger Mayweather may be locked up in legal proceedings.

Arum made it clear he did not talk to Al Haymon, Richard Schaefer or anyone involved with Team Mayweather. All Arum's discussions were with HBO's Ross Greenburg only.

The reason no one from Team Mayweather so much as responded to Top Rank is in the words of Bob Arum, "Unfathomable!"

  Daniel Jacobs vs. Dmitry Pirog
Teleconference Transcript
 
D. Jacobs: I started boxing at the age of 15. So when I say that, I mean that this boxing thing is just really natural for me. The skills that I have and possess and with hard work and dedication, I believe that come July 31, it's going to be an amazing night, not only for me and Dmitry Pirog, but for the whole card.

D. Pirog:
I'm really happy to be here. I'm happy to be having my first fight in the United States. I have a lot of respect for my opponent who is also a great fighter, also has not had any losses in his career, and I think that makes the fight very interesting, and I'm really looking forward to the fight. I'm glad that I have Banner Promotions in association with Golden Boy Promotions during this fight. I'm looking forward to being here and giving everybody a great show.
