Oliver “The Ring“ Richardt As a
fighter Ahmet Oener didn’t earn too much recognition
worldwide. When he finished his career in February 2002
his fight record was at 16-5-2 with 11 KO’s. But now,
almost five years later, the 35-year old Turkish is
stepping back in the ring – with bigger steps than
before as a professional.
Oener returns as
Germanys third big box promoter with a huge perspective.
Said Ahmet, “When I
was young, I saw the first Rocky movies and dreamt of
being a boxer and promoter. Now I want to enter the top
level of boxing.”

Looks Like Kermit-Mosley is
Kaput;
Collazo To Fill In
Against Shane -
Audio
Interview
While the Shane Mosley-Kermit Cintron fight in February that
Golden Boy was trying to make appears to be getting scraped due
to legal problems in Cintron's camp, Pound4Pound has been told
that it looks like that ex-champion Luis Collazo, who had
earlier been pushing for a fight with Mosley, is poised to fill
in for Cintron.
Collazo told Pound4Pound that he was called two nights ago
by Golden Boy and asked if he still wanted to fight Shane.
Without hesitation, Collazo said yes. According to Collazo,
paperwork for the fight with Mosley is being sent to his
promoter, Don King for finalizing, and the welterweight
said he expects it to be official soon after New Year's Day.
Collazo suggested that if the fight between Sugar and
Cintron was titled “SUGAR
& SPICE”
then it better be changed to “SUGAR
MELTS”,
now that he has stepped in to fight Shane on the February 10
Las Vegas card.

El Gallo's Training Camp Notes
WBA light middleweight champion Jose Antonio Rivera
World Boxing Association light middleweight champion "El
Gallo" Jose Antonio Rivera broke his New England-based
training camp today and headed south for final preparations
leading up to his January 6 title defense against Travis
Simms fighting on Showtime live from the Seminole Hard Rock
Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
Rivera (38-4-1, 24 KOs), a three-time world champion in two
divisions, defends his WBA 154-pound title belt against the
WBA "champion in recess" Simms (24-0, 18 KOs) in the
12-round co-feature on the Samuel Peter-James Toney II card.
"I don't know if training in three places is any better or
worse," Rivera said, "but I've made the most out of it and
I'm better prepared and in better shape for this fight than
any fights during my career. I've made everything fit
comfortably into my schedule. Scully and Garcia handle the
boxing preparation and the game plan for the fight, and I do
my running and work with my personal trainer, Radovan
Serbula, on my strength and conditioning."

Mike Tyson In Trouble Again DUI, Drug
Possession, Etc. Etc.
Pound4Pound Obtains Official Arrest Report
Mike Tyson was arrested early Friday on suspicion of
driving under the influence and possession of cocaine
after police stopped him shortly after he left an
Arizona nightclub.
According to authorities, the boxer was pulled over
after his car almost
struck a sheriff's vehicle while leaving an Arizona
Night Club.
Tyson, who was alone, submitted to field sobriety tests
and upon a search drugs were found in his possession and
in his vehicle.
Tyson was booked at the Maricopa County jail, and was
set to make an initial
court appearance Friday morning.
This is not the first trip for Tyson to the Maricopa
Jail as he once was a guest of the facility as he took
time to lecture children about the dangers of drugs and
alcohol.
Clearly, Mike has become the poster child for the ,
"Don't do as I do, Do as I say", campaign.
