Zou Shiming Tested, But Stays Unbeaten |
|
By Nat Gottlieb - HBO.com
It seems fitting that Zou Shiming has fought all five of his
fights in a casino. After all, everybody knows the house always
wins.
Shiming, the two-time Olympic gold medal winner from China, is
as close as you can get to a "sure thing" at this point in his
career. That's because his promoter, Top Rank, so far hasn't
gambled much with its Asian-market golden boy. Although
Shiming's opponents have gradually gotten better, none so far
were expected to present much of a risk to him. That included
Saturday's opponent, Luis De La Rosa (23-4-1, 13 KOs), a
Colombian fighter so obscure that BoxRec doesn't even list his
age, height, or reach.

America was introduced to Kennedy Cunningham
when her father first fought on NBC back in
December of 2012 when he faced Tomasz Adamek in
that epic battle, we learned that she suffered
from a severed heart condition called HLHS.
In April when Steve fought Amir Mansour on NBC
Sports, the family had just received heart
breaking news when they we told that Kennedy was
not a candidate for heart transplant as they had
hoped.
She had her first open heart surgery at 2 days
old and the second six months later. She was
hospitalized for the first year of her life and
suffered many set backs along the way, |
|
|
including a stroke, many
blood infections and also required a trach and vent for several
years when she was younger. The doctors that cared for her back
then all say that she is a miracle, they saw everything she went
through and never thought she would live to be 8 years old! Now,
almost 9 years later she continues to show us how tough she is!

Guillermo Rigondeaux (now 14-0, 9 KO's) retained
the WBA and WBO Super Bantamweight Titles with a first round
stoppage over Sod Kokietgym (aka Looknongyangtoy). Rigondeaux
promised more explosiveness and he delivered. The two go into an
accidental headbutt that floored Kokietgym who grabbed his nose
and complained. Time was called as Kokietgym was allowed a few
seconds to recover. As the fight resumed, both went to touch
gloves. The second Rigondeaux touched Kokietgym's glove, he
quickly snapped out a left followed by a right hook that sent
Kokietgym down again. Kokietgym struggled to get up and rose
exactly on the count of 10, but referee Mark Nelson called him
out. Kokietgym and his corner complained and were furious, but
it was clear he was hurt. Final time was 1:44. Kokietgym drops
