The Gym Group Reveals All Fighters
Involved In June 29th Boxing Show
By Daniel Cloutier
MONTRÉAL — The promoter of the GYM Group, Yvon Michel,
revealed the names of the fighters who will be involved
in the preliminaries bouts of this June 29th boxing show
presented at the Bell Place in Laval, a Montréal
northern suburb.
The main event will opposed the Montrealers Jean Pascal
and Steve Bossé. Former WBC light heavyweight (175
pounds) champion of the world, Pascal (32-5-1) will move
up in the cruiserweight division (190 pounds) to fight
Bossé (1-0-0), a former UFC champion who has only one
pro boxing fight of experience. Pascal announced his
retirement last December after his win by TKO against
the Egyptian Ahmed Elbiali (17-1-0) in Miami, but few
weeks ago, Bossé challenged publicly Pascal. Few days
after, Pascal called Yvon Michel to tell him he was
ready to get out of his retirement to face Bossé.

GGG Receives Ring Magazine Pound For Pound Belt;
Canelo’s Duck & Cover Press Events Plan Revealed
By William Trillo
On any other day the media in attendance would be
congratulating GGG for this truly prestigious honor. As
Ring Magazine Editor In Chief Doug Fisher noted, it had
been several decades since they bestowed this honor on a
Fighter. That was 1993 when Pernell Whitaker was given
the P4P belt. As a proud Golovkin received his award
names like Hagler, Hopkins and Monzon were mentioned.
Putting the Golovkin name in the same sentence with any
of those greats spoke volumes; GGG is truly in an elite

Phrase meaning "right" for dumbasses that can't tell the
difference between left and right.
Once again the ineptitude of my peers reared its ugly
head at the Crawford/Horn post fight press conference on

landing hard combinations to the body and the head of
Savi, at one point so severe the ref stepped in to give
a standing count. With only 1 second left in the 2nd
round, Gonzalez unloaded on Savi, who he had pinned in
the corner, until the ref stopped the bout as Gonzalez
earned the TKO victory. Danny Gonzalez improves to
