Broadway Boxing Seasons Beatings Results |
|
Before yet another sold-out Broadway Boxing card
at NYC's historic BB King Blues Club & Grill, DiBella
Entertainment presented a thrilling 11-bout cad headline by New
York fan-favorite junior middleweight Boyd Melson.
In an impressive outing, Boyd Melson improved his record to
12-1-1 (3 KOs) with a dominant eight-round unanimous decision
victory over the game Gundrick King18-11 (11 KOs). Round after
round, Melson used adept footwork to avoid King's advances and
countered effectively with straight rights and pinpoint jabs. He
also found a home for his left hook to the body which sapped his
foe's energy enough to keep him from mounting a sustained
offense. After eight frames, each judge tallied 80-72, all for
Melson.

Richard Schaefer: To the media, thank you for
being on the call today, and of course, to the two fighters.
Talking about ending it with a bang, I think this is as big of a
bang as one can get. I think it’s the best card we have ever put
together. It’s certainly the card of the year. I don’t remember
ever having put together such an evenly-matched card and I think
it’s a thank you to the fight fans, to the media, to everyone

Ultra Exciting Granados Hoping To "Fight
Smarter" On Dec. 6... But Things Do Happen |
|
Exciting light welterweight contender Adrian "El
Tigre" Granados has heard it all before.
"Fight smart. Stay out of the trenches. Don't go to war if you
don't have to," are all familiar bits of advice he's been given
many times. But a leopard can't change its spots and, despite
all his best-laid pre-fight plans to use his excellent boxing
skills, when Granados gets in the ring, the proud Mexican
American can't seem to resist a good slugfest.

Cloutier’s Canada Corner
Articles Put The Stevenson-Bellew Fight In Danger; Sugar Hill
Considered Cancelling The Fight Days Before |
|
By Daniel Cloutier
MONTRÉAL - Sugar Hill, the Adonis Stevenson's trainer, is
admitting that his fighter had a lot of problems to keep his
concentration during the 72 hours preceding his win by TKO in
the sixth round against the British Tony Bellew, Saturday
evening in the ring of the Québec City Colisée.
Stevenson was really distracted by the Montréal and Québec City
newspapers articles relating his time past in jail 15 years ago,
for his association to a Montréal street gang involved in
juvenile prostitution. A week ago, a Montréal journalist from La
Presse exhumed articles published on the Stevenson's sentence
(four years) 15 years ago… and the following day, the social
medias and others newspapers in the Province of Québec made a
follow up on the case. Over half of the articles published on
the fight Stevenson-Bellew last week, were concerning the Adonis
youth's mistakes.

The Only Fight That Makes Sense |

By William Trillo
Photo-Chop: Bret "The Threat"
After their respective fights in Quebec City
this weekend the Light Heavyweight Champions
told Max Kellerman from HBO what they wanted
next. The WBO Champ Sergey Kovalev (23-0-1, 21
KO's) made it pretty clear, he wants the WBC
Champ Adonis Stevenson (23-1, 20 KO's). For
Stevenson it wasn't that simple. After the fight
he mentioned Bernard Hopkins, Carl Froch and/or
the winner of the Jean Pascal vs. Lucian Bute
fight. It wasn't until some continued prodding
from Kellerman that Adonis stated he might want
to fight Kovalev but he left that up to his
management. Later that night Stevenson's
promoter Yvon Michel was adamant a fight with
Hopkins was the fight he was shooting for.

QUEBEC CITY, Canada ---- The Montreal southpaw Adonis Stevenson
promised to his fans to stop the British Tony Bellew… and he did
it Saturday evening in the ring of the Québec City Colisée. He
stopped his mandatory challenger in the sixth round, becoming
the only fighter on the planet this year to win three world
championship bouts in a span of six months.
With this spectacular win, Stevenson made a second successful
defence of his WBC light heavyweight championship of the world.
Stevenson (23-1-0) won the first round in connecting a very
careful Tony Bellew (20-2-1) with three good power shots.

Stevenson Stops Bellew In 6 |
|
Adonis Stevenson (now 23-1, 20 KO's) retained the
WBC Light Heavyweight Title by stopping Tony Bellew in the 6th
following one knockdown. From the start the fight was mainly
fought at Bellew's pace. Bellew was moving and unwilling to
exchange, constantly circling the ring. Stevenson chased and was
able to land a shot here and there, but nothing explosive early
on. In round 3, Stevenson finally started to connect with the
left hands. In the 4th, Bellew was game and started to trade
with Stevenson, even landing some good shots that backed him up
momentarily. In rounds 6 a big left from under to the chin sent
Bellew down. Bellew rose to Stevenson charging at him with
another left that sent Bellew staging sideways to the corner,
allowing Stevenson to land another big left, nearly taking
Bellew's head completely off. The referee jumped in and saved
Bellew from further punishment at 1:50. Bellew drops to 20-2-1
with 12 KO's.

in the second round. Sillakh came out moving in round 1 and kept
a good distance, not allowing Kovalev to land much, but in
return landed some his own combinations. All that didn't matter
once Kovalev did connect with a right in round 2 that sent
Sillakh to the canvas and seriously hurt. Sillakh beat the count
but did not look right as Kovalev came in with a right hand and
two lefts to the head that dropped Sillakh on his face and out,
no need to count. Sillakh drops to 21-2 with 17 KO's.
