Petrov Manhandles & Dismantles Perez |
|
|
By William Trillo
It was a night full of knockouts on The
Golden Boy promoted card at Indio's Fantasy Springs
Casino on Friday night. The evening was capped of with a
stellar performance by Petr Petrov (38-4-2, 18 KO's) as
he completely overwhelmed Michael Perez (24-2-11 KO's)
in a lightweight battle that was a WBA title eliminator.
Petrov dropped Perez early and never let up. By the time
the sixth round was over Petrov had done enough damage
to have this scheduled 12 round event come to a grinding
halt. The corner of Perez had seen enough and did not
allow him to continue. This was a very impressive
performance by Petrov who is now looking for his well
earned shot at a World Title.
Stay tuned for complete photo results of the entire
Knockout night.

The Mail Pouch: McGarry Chimes In Again |
|
By William Trillo
It looks like our avid reader David McGarry is becoming a
regular contributor to our site and we welcome his on point
thoughts. Allow me to step back and allow McGarry to break down
the coming events for the month of October.
Dear Mr. Trillo,
September was a bad month for British boxing and October could
hardly have got off to a worse start with news that heavyweight
champion Tyson Fury allegedly testing positive for cocaine. Not
only will Fury be stripped of his titles, but it means Wladimir
Klitschko is going to be with us for a while longer, telling
everyone who'll listen how he was going to win back his titles.
Yeah right, you planned on throwing punches this time, did you
Wladimir? Worst of all, Tyson's antics have dragged down the
career of his unbeaten younger cousin, Hughie Fury.

Brits Continue To Mix It With Elite |
|
It’s been a hectic few weeks for British boxing
fans, with several high profile figures in action along with
another postponement in the Tyson Fury, Wladimir Klitschko world
title fight. Unfortunately, after the highs of a few months ago,
the British fighters have relinquished some of the titles that
they had held.
Kell Brook lasted five rounds with the brutal knockout king
Gennady Golovkin, whilst Liam Smith was stopped by the supremely
talented Canelo Alvarez in America. After that, all attention
turned to Manchester, where local lad Anthony Crolla would take
on Jorge Linares with his WBA Lightweight title on the line
along with the Venezuelans WBC Diamond belt.

The Power Of Cinnamon |
|
By William Trillo
I must admit I can’t argue with the drawing power of The
Cinnamon Kid (AKA Canelo). With some 51,000+ fans packed into
that Texas Stadium this past weekend it’s pretty clear Canelo is
a surefire ticket seller. It’s also undeniable that his power
shots to the head and body are equally impressive. You can
confer with Liam Smith on that matter.
What is in question is his propensity to get hit and what will
happen if and when GGG should land the same type of shots on
Canelo that Smith was connecting with all night. Until that
fight with Golovkin is consummated that will be the million
dollar question.

Canelo Stops Smith In 9 |
|
Canelo Alvarez (now 47-1-1, 34 KO's) won the WBO
Light Middleweight Title from previous holder Liam Smith with a
9th round stoppage that endured three knockdowns along the way.
Right away the skill level was noticeable as Canelo was simply
too fast and too strong for Smith. Canelo would land an
assortment of punches on an offensive Smith who showed very
little defense. Smith did have some moments in almost each
round, landing quite a few big shots of his own, both to the
body and the head, but Canelo's higher output kept him in the
lead. In round 7 a right hand to the head buckled Smith and sent
him down for the first time in his career. Smith was game and
fought back, but would be dropped again in the 8th following a
left to the body. In round 9 the damage had already been done as
another left to the body sent Smith down with no count
necessary. Final time was 2:28. Smith drops to 23-1-1 with 13
KO's.
After the fight, Max Kellerman yet again asked Canelo about
fighting Gennady Golovkin, and again Canelo said "I don't fear
any one", yet failed to fully answer the question and even
walked away from the interview in obvious frustration.

Sergiy Derevyanchenko Sounds Off On Canelo Naming Rosado-Monroe
Winner As Possible Dec. Opponent
"He Should Be Ashamed To Call Himself Middleweight Champion!" |
|
Since turning pro in July 2014, former Ukrainian
amateur standout Sergiy Derevyanchenko (9-0, 7KO's) (32-1
including the World Series of Boxing) has let his fists do the
talking for him in the ring, as he has climbed the rankings of
the middleweight division at a blistering pace. Already rated #2
in the IBF world ratings, Derevyanchenko has looked absolutely
sensational with each passing performance and is honing in on
the opportunity to fight for his first world title. Upon hearing
recent reports that the winner of the Gabriel Rosado-Willie
Monroe Jr. bout this Saturday on the undercard of Canelo
Alvarez's world title match against Liam Smith, the usually
quiet and well-mannered Derevyanchenko couldn't help but voice
his disgust with Canelo.

The 29 year-old from Accra found himself on the wrong end of a
split decision, with judges John McKaie (114-113) and Craig
Smith (113-114) separating the fighters by a single point, and
Ron McNair (112-115) giving the home fighter a three point lead,

What’s the biggest difference form fighting at

changes/adjustments you have to make during training camp?
“No matter what weight a fighter is competing at, it takes hard
work and dedication.
“For the last six years, my body has felt best and I have been

There aren't many fighters these days calling out
undefeated two-division world champion Terence Crawford, one of
boxing's pound-for-pound best. Felix Diaz is, though. This is a
fight that should be made.
Diaz (18-1, 8KO's), the only boxer to win an Olympic gold medal
for the Dominican Republic, is coming off a career-changing
performance back in July. He dominated highly regarded,
undefeated welterweight contender Sammy Vasquez, though he is a
true super lightweight. Following his victory over Vasquez, Diaz
signed with promoter Lou DiBella, with the goal of fighting the
biggest names in the sport, and Crawford is at the very top of

Sometimes You CAN Win For Losing |
|
By William Trillo
Over this past weekend boxing fans were treated to some very
gritty and gutsy performances inside the squared circle. The
grits and guts were supplied by Kell Brook, Carlos Cuadras and
Jesus Soto-Karass. The common denominator for these three
warriors is that they came up on the short end in their
respective contests inside the squared circle.
Contrary to the opinion of some who think a loss is a death
sentence, I have always been of the thinking that a loss can be
the very best thing for your career if you learn from it and
never make the same mistakes again.

Kamegai Stops Karass After Eight |
|
By William Trillo @ Ringside
Super Welterweight Jesus Soto Karass (28-11-4, 18 KO’s) was hurt
early in the first round by Yoshihiro Kamegai (27-3-2, 24 KO’s)
and that was just a glimpse of what was coming over the next few
rounds. In their first fight everything was pretty even but in
the sequel this fight belonged almost completely to Kamegai
while it lasted. Like the first fight this one had its moments
of wild exchanges but they were too few and far between for
Karass who never appeared to get past that first round thumping.
Kamegai dropped some heavy leather again in round seven that
sent Karass into clinching mode one more time. The next round
would spell doom for the brave Mexican Warrior as Kamegai was
whipping him from pillar to post. Karass lasted through the
eighth but that was all she wrote as the fight was brought to a
halt after that. Kamegai gets the much deserved TKO victory
after eight.

Fabulous Forum Off TV Undercard Results |
|
By William Trillo @ Ringside
Lightweight Ryan Martin (16-0, 9 KO’s) took a hard fought
unanimous decision over the rugged Cesar Villarraga (9-2, 4
KO’s). Martin was clearly the sharper fighter in this one but
things could have been a lot different if Villarraga had a
decent pair of shoes on. At one point the ref halted the bout
and ordered his corner to tape up his shoes to try and get the
kid some traction. Nothing would help and because of that Martin
had it all in his favor while his foe was slip sliding away.
Lightweight Chazz Moleta had his pro debut spoiled as Brahmabigi
Montgomery (2-1-1, 1 KO) put him Chazz down and out in round 2.
Flyweight Seniesa Estrada (8-0, 1 KO) defeated Nancy Franco
(15-10 -2,4 KO’s) by unanimous decision. The most exciting
moment of the bout was when the fight was announced incorrectly
giving Franco the victory, albeit short lived.
Note: Can we please stop shoving women’s boxing onto these big
cards. Sorry but the panache has come and gone years and years
ago…no one cares.

Golovkin Stops Game Brook In 5
After Corner Throws In Towel |
|
Gennady Golovkin (now 36-0, 33 KO's) retained the
WBC and IBF World Middleweight Titles over Welterweight Champion
Kell Brook when Brook's corner threw in the towel in the 5th
round. This is a fight not many expected would happen in the
first place, then when it was made many figured the weight
difference would be the deciding factor. It was.
Golovkin was able to hurt Brook early with his power, but Brook
was able to box beautifully and show his superior skills in
rounds 2 and 3. Golovkin's pressure would just be too much and
ultimately what won him the fight. Brook just couldn't hold up
to a real middleweight, as he began to break down in the 4th. In
round 5, Golovkin started landing a number of punches and
Brook's corner, a bit prematurely, jumped on the canvas to throw
in the towel for their fighter.
After the fight Golovkin gave himself a 4 out of 10 on
performance, knowing he was getting outboxed at certain moments
and had to change the pace. Golovkin also said he "had no fear"
of Brook once the first round was over, mentioning "he is not
real middleweight" (what gave that away?). Golovkin showed more
interest in fighting WBO Middleweight Champion Billy Joe
Saunders over the much talked about fight with Canelo Alvarez,
stating he was most interested in unifying all the belts. WBA
Middleweight Champion Danny Jacobs was not even mentioned.
Brook, who drops to 36-1, 25 KO's, mentioned he will continue on
at 154 and plans to take over the division.

The Mail Pouch: GGG vs. Brook |

By William Trillo
With the big fight day upon us we are glad to dip into the Mail
Pouch and take a look at one of our most loyal readers, David
McGarry, has to say about the big fight in England. McGarry
gives his thoughts on the battle and what he expects to see.
Although we have not always seen eye to eye, I think this time
he has pretty much hit the nail on the head. Thanks for the
insight David. I am sure our readers will appreciate your
pre-fight view.
Dear Mr. Trillo,
This could be the best month for boxing in years, and today we
have the first of four big promotions. In London, Gennady
Golovkin is defending (some of) his world middleweight titles
against Kell Brook. On paper, this should be a very easy night's
work for the champion. He's considered almost invincible, and
most of the top middleweights seem scared to face him. His
devastating punching power, ruthless efficiency at cornering his
opponents and a granite-like chin should make tonight a foregone
conclusion against an opponent who is moving up two weight
divisions. And yet...

Tom Loeffler Q & A: Chocolatito vs. Cuadras |
|
By William Trillo
This coming weekend in Los Angeles Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez,
(45-0, 38 KO’S) will take on WBC Super Flyweight World Champion
Carlos “El Principe” Cuadras, (35-0-1, 27 KO’s). Gonzalez, the
consensus Pound For Pound best fighter in the world has big
goals ahead of him in this fight, both figuratively and
literally.Pound4Pound spoke to K2 Promotions Tom Loeffler about
the magnitude of this fight and what it means to Chocolatito.
Pound4Pound: Could this be one of those matchups where both
fighters are defined as great, like Leonard and Hearns, Ali and
Frazier?
Tom Loeffler: This is definitely a career defining fight for
both fighters. For Roman it’s to achieve a milestone that his
idol Arguello wasn't able to achieve with a title in a 4th
division and for Cuadras to be able to beat the top P4P fighter
would put him on top of the boxing world.

Mayfield Wants Eyubov Rematch |

Having had a week to consider his controversial
decision loss to Kazakhstan's Bakhtiyar Eyubov (11-0, 10 KOs),
San Francisco welterweight Karim Mayfield says he's not happy.
Fighting in the opening fight on ShoBox: The New Generation®
last Friday, August 19, at Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, New
York, Mayfield (19-4-1, 11 KOs) appeared to outpunch and outwork
his unbeaten foe, especially in the last four rounds. Despite
having the statistical advantage - and winning in the eyes of
the Showtime commentators, most of the ringside media, the fans
in attendance and a worldwide outcry - Mayfield found himself on
the wrong side of a 10-round split decision (95-94 twice for
Eyubov and 95-94 for Mayfield) at the end of their exciting
