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KOs) replacing Al Sands, who has withdrawn from their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.”

Unbeaten Mykquan
Williams Learned
Invaluable Lesson For Future |

The true test for a genuine
boxing prospect is how he or she responds to adversity,
whether it included a loss, cut, knockdown or, in the

decision that tarnished his perfect pro record.

Undercard Results |
|
By William Trillo
Lightweight Ryan Garcia (19-0, 16 KO’s) wasted no time
against Romero Duno (21-2, 16 KO’s). In a whitewash
Garcia blasted out Duno at the 1:18 mark of round one.
For his efforts Garcia takes home the vacant World
Boxing Council Silver Light Title, World Boxing
Organization NABO Light Titles.
Flyweight Seniesa Estrada (18-0, 8 KO’s) overcame an
early attack by Marlen Esparza (7-1, 1 KO) and went on
to take charge. After an accidental headbutt that opened
a huge cut on Esparzas head the blood was flowing. After
round nine there was a lot of confusion. Did Esparza
quit on the stool or was it going to the scorecards?
After a delay it went to the cards 90-81 89-82 88-83 all
in favor of Estrada. Those scores seemed way to wide but
nevertheless Estrada earned the interim World Boxing
Association World Female Fly Title.

The Hardest Hands At

By Iberedem Ekure

Bob Arum’s Top Rank partnered with ESPN to put together
what was billed as “A Match Made In Heaven”, and that
tagline resonated for good reason: Russian, Artur
Beterbiev and Ukrainian, Oleksandr Gvozdyk, the IBF and
WBC light heavyweight champions respectively, had
amassed an impressive combined record of 31-0 with 28
knockouts. With both titles on the line, hardly anyone
saw this fight going the distance; one man would assert
his dominance and end the fight before the allotted 12
rounds.

Once again, we joined the Thompson Boxing Promotion
fights at the Doubletree Hotel for their show, Path to
Glory. The main event featured the undefeated Angel Ruiz
(16-1, 12 KOs) going up against Javier Flores (15-2, 13
KOs) in a welterweight bout that was scheduled to go
eight rounds.
The first round was pretty uneventful. The fighters were
testing each other out a bit, with Angel being a bit
more aggressive at this early stage. He liked to use
combinations quite a bit straight away as well. all that
changed in the second, when a quick and very hard right
hand put Ruiz down and out at 2:02 of the second round,
handing Angel his first career loss.

Unbeaten hard punching
Nigerian heavyweight contender Efe "The One And Only"
Ajagba will battle Jack Mulowayi in a 10 round fight

Supremacy Showdown
Becomes
Embarrassing Throw Down |
|
By William Trillo
It was supposed to be a rematch of their hotly contested
first battle but before Ronald Johnson (17-1, 4 KO’s)
and Sergio Ramirez (18-7, 10 KO’s) could remove the tape
from their hands a full scale riot broke out inside the
Pico Rivera Sports Arena after the fight. The riot began
after an irate Johnson, who was getting cups of beer
thrown his way, jumped out of the ring and rushed the
beer throwing offenders, looking to take matters into
his own hands. At that point it was every man for
himself as bedlam ensued. Chairs went flying and punches
were thrown for what seemed to be minutes before the
violence began to slowly tone down. Local Sheriffs
showed up on scene soon thereafter and the crowd was
escorted out without further incident.

Fan-Base To Florida Nov. 1 In Daytona Beach |
|
Undefeated prospect Richard
"Popeye The Sailor Man" Rivera is a true throwback
fighter; he just asks when and where, not who and why.
Going into 2019, Rivera and his head trainer, Tony
Blanco, who co-promotes Rivera (along with partners
Rivera and Michael Tran) under the Hartford Boxing
Promotions banner, vowed to keep their light
heavyweight/cruiserweight more active and the plan has
worked to perfection.

GGG vs. Derevyanchenko:
To Be The Man |
|
By Iberedem Ekure
Photos: "Sugar" Ray Bailey
Professional wrestling legend Ric Flair once said, "to
be the man, you gotta beat the man!". I share the same
sentiment, except in Saturday night's main event, nobody
told Sergey Derevyanchenko just how badly he had to beat
the man, Gennady Golovkin a.k.a GGG, to become the man.
"Big Drama Show" lived up to its promise right from the
undercards to the post-fight conference: multiple
first-round knockouts, a broken leg, fight of the year
candidate, in-ring drama, promoter war of words,
questions around a fighter's pre-fight health, it all
happened at Madison Square Garden on the 5th of October.
