Terence Crawford vs.
Julius Indongo
Fight Week Transcript
TODD duBOEF: It is
going to be an exciting night on Saturday. This will be
our third event going live on ESPN and what a way to
start with Pacquiao, Lomachenko and now the title
unification of Terence Crawford and Julius Indongo. We
are going to be in Lincoln, Nebraska this time as Lady
Gaga is in Omaha. We are looking forward to Lincoln, as
that’s where the Cornhuskers are. This is an incredible
thing to be able to do. A lot of time people talk about
seeing good fights – guys fight guys that are
accomplished – then there’s other guys that want the
challenges. Julius Indongo and his promoter, Matchroom
Boxing, have come up in a meteoric rise in the past 18
months and Julius has performed great. Terence Crawford
has exploded onto the boxing scene – going to Glasgow,
Scotland and winning the lightweight title and coming
back to Omaha in his first defense against Gamboa and
winning in sensational fashion.

Boxing Show This Friday
The San Fernando Valley’s
only Professional Boxing show returns to the World
Famous Sportsmen’s Lodge in Studio City, California for
another installment of VALLEY FIGHT NIGHT on Friday,
August 18, 2017.
French prospect Jaber Zayani (9-0) was a big mystery
coming into his first bout on U.S. Soil last June as the
competition he faced in his native France had a combined
15-48-2 record. Zayani answered some questions in his
U.S. debut by pitching a shutout in a unanimous decision
victory over Mike Fowler (5-8). Zayani now returns to
answer a few more questions against the perfect litmus
test in rugged Mexican veteran Angel Monrreal (9-15-1).
Zayani, the latest European import at Wildcard Boxing
Club, will attempt to prove he belongs on the world
level with his 10th professional win. While the battle
tested Monrreal, who has won 2 of his last 3 bouts, will
look to show the Frenchman that things do not come so
easy against Mexican boxers in the U.S.

Jimmy Williams: "I Will
Die Before I Lose My Title"
Since setting his sights on
becoming a world champion boxer nearly three and a half
years ago, Jimmy Williams has never had to look far for
motivation.
As a college student in 2008, Williams learned of the
tragic passing of his mother, Belinda, found strangled
to death behind an abandoned building. The case remains
unsolved to this day, but Williams, the reigning,
undefeated World Boxing Council U.S. Boxing Council
Welterweight Champion out of New Haven, Conn., continues
to fight in her memory, hoping one day to find the
closure he's sought for nearly a decade.

10th Annual Rural Rumble
Another Success
For 'Let's Get It On' & The City Of Fallon, NV
By Simon Ruvalcaba
With the 3 previous Fallon fight cards being nationally
televised, Let's Get it On Promotions 10th annual Rural
Rumble fight show in Fallon, NV went back to it's roots
as a throwback outdoor rural America show that featured
fighters soon to be on a big stage.
In the main event Reno, Nevada's Oscar 'Chapito' Vasquez
out hustled veteran Javier Gallo from Buena Park, CA.
Vasquez in his first 10 rounder proved that he can
sustain his inside, busy style and the Bantamweight
earned a unanimous decision with scores of 99-91 twice,
and 98-92. Afterwards Vasquez grabbed the microphone and
apologized to the crowd for a technical fight that he
called "boring." Perhaps a bit hard on himself, the
crowd seemed to understand the strategy and they went
home happy. It was a tactical fight with the game Gallo
picking his shots and working well, however, Vasquez
smothered most of Gallo's shots and put together more
crisp combos and longer rally's of offense to earn most
of the rounds. Vasquez plans to be in action for the 5th
time this year in November after improving to 14-1 (3).
Gallo falls to 24-14-1 (12).

Team Shields
Congratulates Claressa For Winning Unified World Titles
In Fourth Pro Fight
Two-time Olympic Gold
Medalist Claressa "T-Rex" Shields became the unified WBC
and IBF World Super Middleweight Champion last Friday
night with a dominant fifth-round TKO of now former
champion Nikki Adler.
Fighting in front of her home state fans at MGM Grand
Detroit and in the main event of a nationally televised
ShoBox: The New Generation, Shields put on a display of
skills and power seldom seen by a first-time world-title
challenger. Without any answers to the level of talent
in front of her, Adler was forced to cover up and
withstand the blazing speed of Shields' fists for five
one-sided rounds.

Lomachenko Stops Marriaga; Beltran
Tops Vazquez
Vasyl Lomachenko (9-1, 7
KO's) retained the WBO Super Featherweight Title with a
7th round stoppage over Miguel Marriaga (25-3, 21 KO's).
As expected, Marriaga was simply overmatched. Lomachenko
pressured Marriaga to the ropes and landed punches from
all angles. Marriaga did manage to duck and doge many
shots, even landing a few of his own that caused a welt
under the left eye of Lomachenko. However, the offense
was too much for Marriaga to handle as he was dropped in
round 3 with a left (somewhat of a push knockdown), and
in round 7. As the 7th round ended, Marriaga's corner
asked the fight be called off.
On the undercard, Raymundo Beltran (34-7-1, 21 KO's) won
a 10-round majority decision over Bryan Vasquez (36-3,
19 KO's). Both men went at each other in the early
rounds, with Beltran taking control midway through the
fight. After an accidental headbutt opened a cut over
Beltran's right eye, Vazquez put on the pressure and
closed a bit of the gap, but it was not enough. Final
scores were 96-94, 96-94, and 95-95.

Massachusetts.
Silveira (12-1, 6 KOs), of Salem MA) used his height and
length advantage to out-box the much more experienced
Clark (44-16-1, 18 KOs). Due to what appeared to be a
broken right hand, Clark was unable to continue after
six rounds. Click

My Take: In Defense Of
Stephen A. Smith
By Simon Ruvalcaba
With July coming to an end one sports voice that sure
must be glad it's over would be ESPN's Stephen A. Smith.
Recently making the social media trendy headlines with
his die hard claim that a source close to LeBron James
informed Stephen A. that LeBron may likely whoop Kyrie
Irving's ass if he where to see him in the time when
Kyrie was rumored to have been demanding a trade from
the Cleveland Cavaliers? The end of the month debate and
criticism was preceded by Smith's commentary of the Jeff
Horn vs Manny Pacquiao show which kicked off ESPN's new
series and deal with Top Rank Promotions. The comments
that caused a rage through the twitter world happened
when Smith called past Jeff Horn opponents Randall
Bailey and Ali Funeka 'no names.' As a fight writer,
i'll leave the NBA news to the experts of the basketball
field. When it comes to the boxing, let me start off by
saying that listening to Stephen A. on first take and
also on his ESPN radio program, he knows boxing.
