Turkey Of The Year - 2020

It's the time of the year that Pound4Pound starts the annual holiday awards season with our yearly Turkey Of The Year Award. Normally it goes to someone in boxing who has went far below the call of duty to earn the Golden Bird Trophy. But in this year that spun out of control and never got back on track it is not fair to anyone to call them out for whatever blunders they may have committed.

It was the year 2020 alone that takes the full blame for any and all the catastrophes we witnessed. Thanks a lot 2020. We are all counting the days to 2021. It can't come quickly enough.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. Stay safe!

	Jacobs vs. Rosado & Undercard Press Conference Quotes
	Daniel Jacobs – Brooklyn, New York – 36-3, 30 KOs – fights Gabe Rosado at Super-Middleweight “I don’t agree with him, I think I beat him in every category, and I will show that on Friday night, plain and simple. My goal for taking this fight is to make him eat his words - there’s levels to this game and I’ll show I’m beyond this guy. “There’s no easy fights in boxing, he’s a top 15 guy, I would say he’s a gatekeeper, but he’s a tough gatekeeper, he doesn’t lay down and if he goes down, he gets back up. A durable guy like Gabe serves as a great show, and the respect that I give every opponent is to prepare at 100 per cent to give my very best. Click Here For More

Common Sense Takes A Back Seat To Greed

By William Trillo

As defined by www.phrases.org:
To 'take a back seat' is take a subordinate or reclusive position.

By now, anyone who pays even the slightest amount of attention to boxing news is well aware that Saul “Canelo” Alvarez has filed a law suit against his promoter Oscar De La Hoya from Golden Boy Promotions and the broadcast partner DAZN for breach of contract to the tune of some $280 million dollars. The 11-fight deal that was drawn up between Alvarez, Golden Boy and DAZN is unraveling quickly.

The main event in the Las Vegas Bubble featured two hard hitting Welterweights who were looking to take a huge step forward with a victory. The likelihood of this one going the distance was minimal. Both Egidijus Kavaliauskas (22-1-1, 18 KO’s) and Mikael Zewski (34-2, 23 KO’s) were coming into the fight with only one loss a piece, the winner here would certainly put himself in line for a World Title.

	Billy’s Boxing Blog Zewski Looking to Hook & Reel In A Big One
	By William Trillo The first time I saw Mikael Zewski, (34-1, 23 KO’s), in action was in March of 2010 at a small casino in Southern California. I noticed right away Zewski was from Quebec. The reason that caught my eye is that a few months prior to that I made my first trip to Montreal, and as my readers, (all 5 of them), know I fell in love with the city and the people of Montreal. The fact of the matter is I hold all of Quebec near and dear to my heart. That first night I saw Zewski I was impressed how he quickly dispatched of a foe who had no idea what hit him. I thought to myself, I am going to need to keep an eye on this, he has legit skills.” As it turns out I have been fortunate enough to see Zewski fight in the cities of Montreal, Quebec City, Indio California and multiple times in Las Vegas Nevada. Watching Zewski as I have it became clear to me that the skills he displayed the first time I saw him were not a fluke, he is without question a top world class fighter. Click Here For Full Blog

Ugly Win For Herring

By William Trillo

It was bedlam inside the ring in The Las Vegas Bubble, before, during and after the main event. This was supposed to be a showcase for Super Featherweight Jamel Herring (22-2, 10 KO’s) but it’s unlikely anyone was impressed with his performance, including the fighter himself. His opponent Jonathan Oquendo (31-7, 19 KO’s) made this fight as about as ugly and difficult as he could. Like a bull in a china closet Oquendo was busting up Herring, not with punches but with his head. This was far from a pretty fight on any level.

The main event in the Las Vegas “Bubble” was a Light Heavyweight world title eliminator featuring former champion Eleider Alvarez (26-1, 14 KO’s) vs. the hard working and rugged Joe Smith Jr (25-4, 20 KO’s). It was a fight that promised to be a fan friendly battle and it did not disappoint.

These two strong combatants were letting the heavy leather fly early and often, this was truly a bombs away affair. But from the onset it was Smith who was pressing the attack as Alvarez seemed to be waiting, looking to counter with his vaunted right hand. That scenario played itself out round after round. As the fight went on, it was becoming clear Smith was putting rounds in the bank.

	Whyte vs. Povetkin & Undercard Press Conference Quotes
	Eddie Hearn: "This is it. This is the final week of Fight Camp. It has been just the most remarkable project we've ever been involved with. The return of big time boxing. We've had a wonderful three weeks. Some of the fights of the year. This week is really the first major card, the first major names to return to the sport of boxing since the pandemic, since lockdown has been over. It's a thrilling fight card. Five fights on the card with Sky Sports Box office in the UK and DAZN in the US. Every single fight is a pick'em fight. Whyte is in fantastic condition. The scariest thing about Povetkin is his level all the time - from when he fought Joshua, Hunter, Price - I have not seen him deviate. Not even the tone of his voice. He is a machine! He is programmed to destroy. He will do everything in his power to do that. There is no quit in him, no backing down. If the machine gets broken down, you can't conduct the task. That's what Whyte will do." Click Here For More

	Billy’s Boxing Blog The Comeback Of The Golden Boy; I Am Surprised It Took So Long
	By William Trillo The last time we saw Oscar De La Hoya “gloved up” in the ring he was staring hopelessly across the “Squared Circle” as the decision was made that he could not go out for another round against Manny Pacquiao. After taking a pretty good beating it was the right decision to make. Officially the record book will tell you Oscar lost when he retired after round eight. Unofficially, when most boxing fans discuss that fight they will use one of the cruelest terms in boxing, “He quit on his stool.” Truthfully, De La Hoya’s accomplishments in the ring are legendary. There is no way that ill-advised fight and how it concluded will be what we remember of The Golden Boy. His Olympic Gold Medal and those 11 World titles will trump that final awful moment in the ring vs. Pacquiao, and rightfully so. Click Here For Full Blog

La Habra Boxing Club Closing It’s Doors

By William Trillo

It’s with a heavy heart that I am writing this article to inform the boxing community that The La Habra Boxing Clubs Founder, Trainer and Cut Man David Martinez has made the difficult decision to permanently close the doors after nearly 40 years of service to the young boys and men who stepped into his gymnasium.

As cliché as it might sound by now; 2020 has reared its ugly head again. Like all the other gyms across the country the boxing club was forced to shut down in March due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Over the course of the following months Martinez was informed there would be new rules to follow to open back up and that would be a costly task. After thinking long and hard about the situation, and as difficult as it was for him to do, Martinez made the decision it was time to move on.

Valdez Victory Over Velez
Leaves More Questions Than Answers

By William Trillo
By Mikey Williams - Top Rank

In the prelude to his huge match-up with fellow countryman and WBC Champ Miguel Berchelt, Super Featherweight Oscar Valdez (28-0, 22 KO’s) needed to put on an impressive showing against the seasoned Jayson Velez (29-7-1, 21 KO’s). On paper it looked good, the end result was Valdez getting a late KO victory over a fighter who had never been stopped before. That being said this was far from a highlight reel for Valdez. If he looks like this when he steps into the ring with Berchelt it’s going to make for a very long, or worse, a very short evening.

	Billy’s Boxing Blog Tureano Johnson: "I Got An Offer To Fight Canelo"
	By William Trillo Over this past weekend there were some not to quiet rumblings that Canelo’s next opponent could be middleweight Jason Quigley. Having been ringside when Quigley was soundly defeated by Tureano Johson (21-2-1, 15 KO’s), that news didn’t sit well with me. I reached out to a few insiders but wasn’t satisfied with what I was hearing. I decided the best thing to do was reach out to Tureano to get his point of view on the situation. I am sure you will find what he had to say to be very interesting. Check it out. Pound4Pound: The reason I am contacting you is because of all the noise I have been hearing about Jason Quigley being a possible opponent for Canelo. In my mind if anyone should jump to the forefront here as an opponent for Canelo it should be Tureano Johnson. I mean, you took care of Quigley pretty handily as I recall. Tureano Johnson: Wow. You’re really be keeping up! You are the only person who called me out on that one. When Quigley was mentioned (for Canelo) I didn’t want to say anything, I just wanted to let the fans speak, and you sure did it…Thanks. Click Here For Full Blog

Mikaela Mayer Makes Most Of Main Event

Testing positive for Covid-19 a few weeks ago gave Super Featherweight Mikaela Mayer (13-0, 5 KO’s) more time to get ready for her opponent Helen Joseph (17-5-2, 10 KO’s). That extra time proved to be more than enough as Mayer made the best of her moment in the ESPN spotlight.

Mayer used her length and athleticism to completely dominate a foe some said would be her toughest test to date. Joseph plodded in all night long as Mayer peppered her with long jabs and great combinations. It looked too easy for Mayer but with the prospect of a title shot in the near future maybe we will get to see her in there with someone who can handle her game…or not.

Instant Replay Needs Review

By William Trillo

Last night in "The Bubble" in Las Vegas during the main event of the Top Rank Show, Mikkel LesPierre dropped Jose Pedraza in round five. Trutfully the knockdown was questionable as the fighters feet locked up, but Pedraza did go down from a punch.

After the round, and more importantly after the sixty second break, officials decided they needed to go to the instant reply to verify if the knockdown was legitimate. Some two minutes later they decided it was not a knockdown.

The main event started out looking like it was going to be a quick one.

Over the course of the ten round show Saucedo put on a magnificent display of some new skills along with the some of his old fire that has made him a fan favorite. The long and lean Frederickson proved to be a tough customer. Although he labored on the ropes and was eating a lot of leather, he also did some fine work in the center of the ring catching Saucedo with numerous flush shots.
