Statement From Oscar De
La Hoya On Alejandra Jimenez Testing Positive For Banned
Substances
"It is extremely
unfortunate to learn that WBC and WBO Super Middleweight
World Champion Alejandra Jimenez (13-0-1, 9 KOs) has
tested positive for banned substances after her title
fight with Franchon Crews-Dezurn (6-2, 2 KOs) on January
11," said Oscar De La Hoya, Chairman and CEO of Golden
Boy. "As Franchon's promoter, we are incredibly
disappointed for her as she worked incredibly hard to
defend her titles. However, our job is to ensure the
safety of our fighters both inside and outside of the
ring. Thus, we have always insisted and supported
testing through the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA)
for all of our world championship fights. Jimenez's
fight against Franchon Crews-Dezurn is no exception. Now
our job is to find justice for Franchon by working
closely with the WBC and the WBO in order to re-instate
her as a world champion."

Hi Billy,
Can you do us a favor and get up earlier so that us
easterners can read your comments sooner? LOL! I am sure
I speak for all of us when I say we prefer your take on

Billy’s Boxing Blog
More Or Less
By William Trillo
My lone takeaway from the boxing broadcasts this weekend
is as follows:
Is it really necessary to have umpteen announcers
chiming in during the broadcast?
Answer: NO
The number of so-called experts trying to get in their
two cents worth during the fights is way out of control.
I’m sorry but the broadcasts are watered down so much
these days it has become simply unbearable to listen to.
If one of the announcers is concise and calling a good
fight it is impossible to know because all the other
mouths are busy trying to make their point and/or argue
with one of his or her colleagues. Click Here For Full Blog

Joe Smith Upsets Jesse
Hart

Top Rank
Philadelphia's Jesse Hart wanted revenge. Joe Smith Jr.
didn't let that happen.
Smith, who knocked out Hart's mentor and fellow Philly
pugilist Bernard Hopkins in 2016, was dominant but had
to settle for a split decision in the Top Rank on ESPN
main event in front of 3,415 fans at Etess Arena at Hard
Rock Live. While it appeared to be a clear decision for
Smith, one judge scored the bout 95-94 for Hart, while
Smith prevailed on the other cards by scores of 98-91
and 97-92.
