All In For WBC Interim World Light Heavyweight Clash
With Marcus Browne
The first super
middleweight world champion of Mexican decent,
undefeated Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (41-0, 27 KOs) is
all in for a potential World Boxing Council (WBC)
Interim light heavyweight World title fight against 2012
U.S. Olympian "Sir" Marcus Browne (23-1, 16 KOs).

since capturing it October 18, 2019, due to getting
COVID-19 during training camp, as well as for other
pandemic related restrictions. Beterbiev is also the
reigning International Boxing Federation (IBF) light
heavyweight World champion. Click

Lightweight Ryan Garcia (21-0, 18 KO’s) went down in
round two but got to his feet and turned up the heat on
his path to derail a tough as nails Luke Campbell (20-4,
16 KO’s) to earn the interim World Boxing Council World
Light Title.
When Garcia got hit with that left hand that sent him to
the canvas you could hear a pin drop. The crowd was
stunned. How would Ryan react? Campbell had done what no
one had done before and there was plenty of time to move

Round 12: Canelo's Grand
Performance
By Mauricio Sulaimán –
Son of José Sulaimán – WBC President
Saul “Canelo” Álvarez achieved another resplendent glory
this past Saturday by dominating and overwhelming
British Callum Smith at the Alamodome in San Antonio. A
superb promotion with spectacular production, an
extravaganza that wraps up a complicated year for the
world of sports, because the activity for fans was
completely shot down for several months, fans suffered
from not being able to watch any sports around the
world, eventually some sports began activity without
fans, we experienced enhanced production through
important innovations and the year is closing with
several major events held with fans in the stands under
strict safety protocols.

Canelo Hammers Smith,
Unifies Super Middleweight Belts
By William Trillo
Photos: Ed Mulholland - Matchroom
In a dominant performance Saul “Canelo” Alvarez
seemingly never took a backward step inside the ring as
he unanimously defeated the now dethroned champ Callum
Smith (27-1, 19 KO’s). Chalk this one up as a good old
fashioned butt kicking. Give Smith kudos for never going
down over the twelve round shellacking but make no
mistake about it, this fight was a showcase for Canelo.
He used the moment in the spotlight to put a stamp on
his claim to being the best Pound4Pound fighter in the
world.

Golovkin Discovers The Fountain Of Youth
By William Trillo
Photo: Melina Pizano/Matchroom & Michael Owens/Matchroom
As the story goes, it was in the 16th century that
Spanish explorer Ponce De Leon went to Florida in search
of “The Fountain Of Youth”. His search came up empty.
But…some 500 years later while on his travels to Florida
it appears Gennady Golovkin has not only found, but
drank from the elusive regenerating fountain.
After a fourteen-month absence from the ring the big
question to be answered was whether or not “Father Time”
had finally caught up up with GGG. Maybe he was now only
a shell of his former self. Click Here For Full Blog

Benitez (14-4-1, 6 KOs).
Fighting in the main event of “Noche de Box,” presented
by Don Chargin Productions and Paco Presents Boxing, in

Spence vs. Crawford 2021 Is A No-Brainer
No Excuses Will Be Tolerated
And Best Of All, I’m Gonna Tell Ya How
By William Trillo
As defined by Freedictionary.com
No-brainer: Something, especially a choice or decision,
that is so obvious or easy as to require little or no
thought.
As the WBC and IBF Welterweight Champion Errol Spence
Jr. was dismantling Danny Garcia on Saturday night the
PPV broadcast cut away to a shot of probably the most
interested customer in the house, that being WBO
Welterweight Champion Terrance Crawford. Like an angler
baiting the hook with a juicy worm, the powers that be
at PBC just cast their line in the hopes of landing a
whopper. Let’s hope they don’t let the big one get away. Click Here For Full Blog
Hughie Fury: "I Belong

Hughie Fury wants to show
that he belongs at world level by "doing a job" on

December 12, live on Sky Sports Box Office in the UK and
on DAZN in the U.S. and more than 200 countries and
territories on its just-launched Global platform.
The only defeats on Fury’s 27 fight slate came at world
level – a majority 12 round decision dropped in a close
and controversial WBO World Title challenge to New
Zealand’s Joseph Parker in 2017, a gallant and gory 12
round points loss to Pulev in an IBF Final Eliminator in
Sofia and a points loss to Alexander Povetkin last
summer.

Spence Dominates Garcia
By William Trillo
Welterweights Errol Spence Jr (27-0, 21 KO’s) and Danny
Garcia (36-3, 21 KO’s) met in a bout that had the
attention of everyone in the boxing world. After an
extended layoff due to a much publicized auto accident,
Spence was making his return to the ring. Jumping right
back into the line of fire, Spence would face the solid
former champion Garcia. Could Spence hold his
Pound4Pound status? Did that auto wreck take something
out of him? Would Garcia be too much of a test? These
were questions that would soon be answered.

fight card airing live from Wild Card Boxing Club on
Dec. 3 at 9 p.m. EST/6 p.m. PST on NBCSN.
Duversonne replaces the hard-hitting Serhii Bohachuck
(18-0, 18 KO's), who was forced to pull out of the fight
after he joined the growing list of professional
athletes who have tested positive for Covid-19.
Bohachuck hopes to reschedule his highly anticipated
matchup against Adams for early 2021.

Keith Thurman Back
It’s the night before
Thanksgiving and Keith Thurman (29-1, 22Kos), the former
unified Welterweight World Champion, is at his St.
Petersburg, Florida, training facility unleashing his
two-fisted power on a heavy bag. In between hammering
the bag, he’s naming off future boxing adversaries one
by one: Yordenis Ugas, Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter, Manny
Pacquiao, Terence Crawford, and Errol Spence.

147-pound king. Click

Saunders: "I Haven't
Overlooked Martin"
Billy Joe Saunders insists
that he hasn't overlooked four-time World Title
challenger Martin Murray as he prepares to put his WBO
Super-Middleweight crown on the line for the second time
this Friday at The SSE Arena, Wembley, shown live on Sky
Sports and DAZN.
Hatfield star Saunders (29-0, 14 KOs) was on the verge
of securing a mega fight with Mexican pound-for-pound
icon Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez earlier this year before the
coronavirus pandemic turned the sporting world on its
head and scuppered his shot at greatness.

Tennyson: "I Want The
Opportunities
With The Big Names"
James Tennyson says he is
ready to step up to the next level and mix it with the
best 135lbs fighters on the planet, and the heavy-handed
Belfast banger intends on proving it when he takes on
unbeaten Canadian Josh O'Reilly at The SSE Arena,
Wembley this Friday, live on Sky Sports and DAZN.
'The Assassin' (27-3, 23 KOs) continued his destructive
form last time out at Matchroom Fight Camp in August
when he claimed the vacant British Lightweight Title
with a ruthless sixth round stoppage win over brave but
battered Welshman Gavin Gwynne.

Christian Mbilli's Debut
Under EOTTM In Mexico
On Saturday December 12,
three tigers will fight in Mexico. This event will mark
Christian M’Billi’s debut (16-0-0, 15 KOs) as an
official member of Eye of the Tiger Management’s team.
To do this, the one nicknamed “Solid” will immediately
be involved in a complex fight while he sets to face a
tough opponent well known to the Quebec public, Rolando
Paredes (16-11-2, 11 K.-O. ). The latter has already
faced Erik Bazinyan (25-0-0, 19 KOs), in addition to
having offered a true war to Nurzat Sabirov (11-0-0, 9
KOs) and Lexson Mathieu (9-0-0, 8 KOs) last December. It
is live from Cuernavaca in Mexico that Mbilli will
continue his meteoric rise despite the current
conditions related to Covid-19.

Thanksgiving Leftovers
By William Trillo
By now you have probably taken in more Thanksgiving
weekend fight reports than you can stomach. You have
sliced it, diced it and digested more than a mouth full.
And now that you have had more than your fill it’s my
turn to give you one more helping, because… hey, that’s
what I do.
Before I recap the fights, I have to come clean and
apologize to everyone for my less than spot on
predictions on how the weekend would go. Not only did I
say Danny Jacobs (37-3,30 KO’s) vs. Gabriel Rosado
(25-13-1, 14 KO’s) promised to be a fan friendly war but
I also stated that Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones was nothing
more than a farce.
Ortiz Dazzles To Capture
WBC
Title In Front Of PPV Audience
Fighting on professional
boxing’s biggest stage, the undercard of the
highly-anticipated Mike Tyson-Roy Jones Jr. showdown at
The Staples Center, one of the sport’s brightest
prospects took a major leap forward Saturday with a
sensational win live on Triller and FITE.tv in front of
a worldwide pay-per-view audience. Click
