Randy Caballero Has
Successful Ankle Surgery |
|
By Barbara Pinnella
The former IBF bantamweight world champion Randy
Caballero has been absent from the ring since September
of last year, and in that fight against Diego De La Hoya
he also suffered his first loss. But he has been dealing
with a plethora of physical problems, the most serious
and consistent of which has been his right ankle. Nobody
could come up with a concrete diagnosis, but thanks to
Loma Linda Hospital, Randy just might finally be on the
mend.

A "Stream" Of Consciousness |

By William Trillo
This weekend I jumped feet first into the deep end of
the new era in boxing and I am happy to report that I
was more than pleasantly surprised. With multiple fights
being streamed all over the internet it was time to
check it out. The first thing I was going to have to do
was get my Smart TV to grab the various streams and
update my Surface Pro to get the latest and most
efficient browser. Truthfully I can’t believe I am
saying this, but it was a breeze. With all my devices
locked and loaded I was set for a big evening of boxing
and I wasn’t disappointed. It turned out to be a pretty
good evening of fisticuffs. The highlights of the night
go as follows:

Jacobs Earns Vacant IBF Middleweight
Title
With Split Decision Over Derevyanchenko |
|
Daniel Jacobs (35-2, 21
KO's) won the vacant IBF Middleweight Title with a
hard-earned Split Decision over previously unbeaten
Sergiy Derevyanchenko (12-1, 10 KO's). The fight
provided many fireworks throughout, with both men having
big moments. In round 1, Jacobs landed a right on the
top of the head that sent Derevyanchenko to a knee for
the only knockdown in the fight. Derevyanchenko would
stagger Jacobs in the next round. After an even 3rd
round, Jacobs began to turn on the heat, getting the
better of the inside exchanges. Rounds 6 and 12 were
back-and-forth, candidates for rounds of the year.
Jacobs appeared to have earned a slight edge, but
Derevyanchenko was determined and scored some telling
blows in the final two rounds to close a bit of the gap.
The knockdown in the first round appeared to have sealed
the deal for Jacobs. Final scores were 114-113 for
Derevyanchenko, and 115-112 twice for Jacobs. Jacobs
expressed immediate interest in fighting Canelo Alvarez
next, with a rematch with Gennady Golovkin after.
On the undercard, Albert Machado (21-0, 17 KO's) scored
an explosive first round knockout over Yuandale Evans
(20-2, 14 KO's). Machado would land a left hand to the
side of the head that dropped Evans early in the round.
Machado would pounce on Evans with an aggressive assault
that would have seen many referees halt the bout right
there, but Evans fell to the canvas again and the fight
resumed. Another combination that ended with a viscous
left hook ended the night at 2:25.
Heather Hardy (22-0, 4 KO's) won a 10-round unanimous
decision over Shelly Vincent (23-2. 1 KO) in a rematch
of their highly exciting first fight. Both fighters
threw and landed with high velocity, but it was Hardy
that pulled out with the better of the exchanges. Final
scores were 99-91 and 97-93 twice.

Ready To Explode Oct. 26 In Detroit |

“grudge” matches manufactured to sell fights, where the
hostility is mostly acting. For example, there are
indications of that in the buildup to Deontay Wilder and
Tyson Fury’s upcoming showdown.
And then sometimes, two fighters really, really don’t
like each other. Think Terence Crawford taking out Jose
Benavidez Jr., recently.
