"You're travelling through another dimension, a
dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a
journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that
of imagination - Next stop, the Twilight Zone!"
- Rod Serling
Imagine if you will a promoter, who just happens to be
an eleven-time world champion and Hall of Famer who is
so hell bent on making his second-rate fighter a world
champion that he is willing to use whatever smoke and
mirrors it takes to deceive the masses in order to
attain his lofty goal. Now imagine the promoter’s
motivation is not only money, (of which there is
plenty), but is to fulfill his somewhat egotistical
dreams of giving boxing fans the second coming of
himself. Yes, the next Golden Boy.

By Albert Castillo

From the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Oscar De La
Hoya’s Golden Boy Productions put together a card
featuring extremely popular Ryan “Kingry” Garcia (23-0,
19 KO’s). Garcia did not disappoint knocking out Javier
Fortuna (37-4-1, 26 KO’s) at 20 seconds of the 6th
round. Unfortunately, Fortuna was not the beast he
displayed against JoJo Diaz. He was far less aggressive
and did not pursue Garcia but once during the entire
battle.

Undercard Results From
Los Angeles |
|
By William Trillo
It was a title eliminator in this the battle of
Minimumweights Oscar Collazo (5-0, 3 KO’s) and Victorio
Saludar (21-6, 11 KO’s). Collazo, who has a world class
amateur pedigree was stretched to the limit by a
hardnosed ring veteran in Saludar. In the seventh round
both men hit the deck but each arose and went on to
finish the grueling twelve round scrap. Final scores
read 118-110, and 116-112 x 2 all in favor of Collazo.
On the victory Collazo stated, “It was a tough fight, I
had to use my whole toolbox. My opponent was very strong
and experienced, he's a veteran in the sport. Thanks to
my corner I got in the ring and fought round by round. A
world championship is next, I want to be a champion.”
Featherweight Diego De La Hoya (23-1, 11 KO’s) put the
wood to Enrique Bernache (24-14, 12 KO’s) in this
one-sided attraction. Bernache just did not have the
natural ability to deal with De La Hoya’s charge. Though
he is tough as nails Bernache was brought to a halt by
Diego’s two fisted onslaught at the 2:51 mark of round
4.
“I felt very happy to be back, said Diego De La Hoya. “I
haven't fought in two years so I felt great. My opponent
was tough. I'll probably fight again in September.
Hopefully I will fight for a championship soon.”
Lightweight Miguel Gaona (3-0, 2 KO) opened the show
with a blistering first round KO over Abdiel Padilla
(1-3, 1 KO). Ganoa dropped Padilla right away and then
sealed the deal with a wicked body shot before the first
three minutes commenced.

Vazquez of Fort Worth, Texas was able to figure out
Argel's come-forward style early in the contest as the
Texan started slowing down Argel with body shots with
both hands. Vazquez was equally effective with the
uppercut. Argel continued to attempt to press but that
was to his detriment as he ate shots to his flank and
face from the pinpoint Vazquez.

Canelo vs. GGG – The Threequel
This Time It’s Personal |
|
By William Trillo
The first two fights in this pugilistic series were akin
to cinematic gems. But the question remains if the
threequel will live up to the hype or will this
cliffhanger fall flat at the box office and become a
huge disappointment. With those thoughts as a backdrop
it was only fitting that the Kickoff press conference
for Canelo vs. GGG 3 was held in Hollywood, California.

Better Be Careful

Beterbiev Is The Man |

By William Trillo
I am curious how many gambling degenerates lost their
butts Saturday night while making last minute bets on
Joe Smith Jr. after watching ESPN’s extremely slanted
pre-fight hype before the Artur Beterbiev vs. Smith Jr.
Light Heavyweight title unifier. Seriously, it seemed as
if the entire cast and crew of the broadcast team were
ordered to shill for Smith Jr. and say little or nothing
about the undefeated Beterbiev. It was blatant and

Star Boxing’s "Rockin’
Fights 42" Results |
|
You never know what will
happen in the fight game. After two featured bouts fell
out only days before the weigh-in and the other at the
weigh-in, Star Boxing resiliently fought on, showing the
tenacity with which has made the company the longest
running, and most consistent promotional company in New
York. Star Boxing still brought the fans an entertaining
and exciting 42nd edition of the critically claimed
“Rockin’ Fights” series at The Paramount in Huntington,
New York on Saturday night (6/11). As they say, the show
goes on, and Star did so admirably without its main
event or co-feature, reshuffling the four bout card and
providing fights that did not disappoint.

Krusher Cruises To
Victory In Cruiserweight Debut |
|
By Igor Frank
Thrillers entry into a world of boxing continued on
Saturday night as Great Western Forum in Inglewood
California played host to Fight Club’s TrillerVerz .
Boxing and music mix very well according to color
commentator and former welterweight champion, Shawn
Porter. And that is what TrillerVerz was all about,
mixing rap competition with fistic combat. Since I don’t
know” s..t” about rap (as late Roger Mayweather would
say) I will direct my attention to boxing show, which I
would venture to call a family affair since it featured
three kids of former ring star Fernando Vargas, a son
Ring legend, Evander “The Real Deal” Holyfield and two
Pulev brothers from Bulgaria.

Bentley: "You Don’t Get
Paid For Overtime" |
|
It’s homecoming night for
South London’s Denzel “2Sharp” Bentley (15-1-1, 13KOs)
as he looks to reclaim the British Middleweight Title
against Luton’s Linus Udofia (17-0, 9 KOs) live and free
on Channel 5 on Friday May 13 from 10pm.
Bentley suffered his first career loss to Felix Cash in
2021, but immediately bounced back with a win later in
the year to set up this exciting title bout at the
Indigo at the O2 in London. You will rarely find someone
with such a vicious knockout ratio carrying such a calm
demeanour with them. It may be a relaxed Bentley outside
of the ring, but inside it is a man who has either
retired his opponent or stopped them in every victory
since a points decision win back in April 2019. “I’m
always calm and relaxed. I’m doing something I enjoy so
there’s no need to be nervous or uptight or anything
like that,” he said. “I know I’ve put in the work, so
I’m calm.”

The Continuing Story Of Dewey, Cheatem & Howe |
|
By William Trillo
Okay, let’s be honest here. When the judges’ scorecards
were getting read by David Diamante after the Bivol vs.
Canelo fight and he announced identical scores of
115-113 by all three judges, how many of you immediately
thought, “Uh oh! No way, they are going to give this
fight to Canelo.” I know I did. In fact, Dmitry Bivol
himself said he was worried when he heard those 115-113
scores.
But as we found out moments later the unanimous decision
was rightly given to Bivol. As it should have been.

Denis Radovan &
Christina Hammer
Celebrate Big Wins In Cologne |
|
Denis Radovan enjoyed a
successful homecoming with a second round TKO win over
the experienced Rafael Bejaran last night in front of
frenetic fans at the Sartory Saal in Cologne, Germany.
The atmosphere was electric for Radovan’s first fight in
his hometown, and the unbeaten middleweight surely
delivered as he dropped his opponent three times in the
second, forcing Bejaran’s corner to throw in the towel.
It was the third successful defense of the IBF European
middleweight title for Radovan.

Bivol Stuns Canelo To
Retain
His Light Heavyweight Belt |
|
By William Trillo
Photos: German Villasenor
Like a Quarterback standing in the pocket and avoiding a
heavy defensive rush Light Heavyweight Dmitrii Bivol
(20-0, 11 KO’s) not only stood in there with Saul Canelo
Alvarez (57-2-2, 39 KO’s) but he did not get sacked. In
fact, Bivol did what no one in the packed T-Mobile Arena
was expecting, he ruined the Cinco May Festivities by
defeating Canelo handily. The Matchroom promoted fight
that was streamed by DAZN will surely go down as one of
the biggest upsets in boxing this year.

Las Vegas T-Mobile
Undercard Results |
|
By William Trillo @
Ringside
Super Lightweights Montana Love (18-0-1, 9 KO’s) and
Gabriel Gollaz Valenzuela (25-3-1, 15 KO’s) were the
Main Event on this hot Las Vegas fight night card. The
bout started intense as Valenzuela was dropped late in
round one. Not to be outdone he returned the favor in
the next round when he sent Love to the canvas in the
next round. But that was going to be it as the fight
became a chess match, a boring chess match. The fact is
the fight became so dull that the crowd was booing more
than they were cheering. The action the fans wanted to
see was not taking place. The fight would go on like
this for the entire twelve rounds. The crowd would show
its disapproval one more time when the scores were read.
It was a unanimous decision as all cards read 114-112
across the board for Love. Apparently, the fans in
attendance did not agree. For his efforts Love took home
the Vacant IBF North American Super Lightweight Title.

Taylor vs. Serrano Final
Press Conference Quotes |
|
Katie Taylor: "The
amount of media we have had to do all week was huge. I’m
sick of talking about myself but it’s been an amazing
week so far. This is definitely very different than how
I started boxing when I was eight or nine years old.
Like Eddie said, I had to pretend I was a boy to get
fights. Women’s boxing wasn’t even a sanctioned sport in
Ireland. Now here we are many years later headlining
MSG, the most iconic venue in boxing. Making history as
the biggest women’s boxing match in history is just
incredible. This is all of the sacrifice that I have
been working for, for sure."

At Fantasy Springs |
|
Golden Boy returned to its
Coachella Valley home at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino
with an exciting night of boxing to a sold-out
boisterous crowd. The main event of the night featured
an eventful 10-round lightweight fight between
Palmdale’s Joel Diaz, Jr. (26-2, 22 KOs) and San Diego’s
Mercito “No Mercy” Gesta (33-3-3, 17 KOs). The first
round started off very active as Gesta knocked Diaz, Jr.
to the canvas twice, with Diaz, Jr. struggling to
maintain his balance. Saved by the bell, Diaz, Jr.
recovered and performed excellently in the second round,
cornering Gesta and visibly hurting him. As the fighters
grew more comfortable in the ring, they traded blows
staying in the pocket, both relentless. The fighters
brought the cheering crowd to their feet with their
fearless performances as the judges determined their
fate. With scores of 93-95, 92-96, and 92-96, the judges
ruled in favor of Mercito Gesta, crowning him the victor

Big Boxing Weekend Thoughts:
Don’t Count GGG Out, Not Just Yet |
|
By William Trillo
The general consensus going into the Gennady Golovkin
vs. Ryota Murata fight was an overwhelming concern that
Golovkin, who just turned 40 years old, was past his
prime and was more than vulnerable facing the rugged
Murata on his home turf.
In the early rounds it looked as though those concerns
were valid as a nonstop body attack had Golovkin
reeling. He was visibly uncomfortable. GGG was wincing
and his body language was not good, he was hurt, no one
could doubt that.

Ryan Garcia Defeats
Emmanuel Tagoe |
|
San Antonio was treated to
fireworks at the Alamodome today when the undefeated
boxing superstar, Ryan Garcia (22-0, 18KOs) of
Victorville, CA, made a triumphant return to the ring
against the top-rated Emmanuel “The Gameboy” Tagoe
(32-2, 15KOs) of Accra, Ghana. The 12-round lightweight
fight featured a strong performance from Garcia to a
crowd of 14,459 as he landed an early power punch that
sent Tageo to the canvas in the second round. Once both
fighters found their rhythm, Garcia systematically broke
down the Ghanaian boxer as he landed precise punches to
the head and body. Tagoe tried his best to keep his
distance using an ineffective jab. Garcia visibly hurt
Tageo in the 10th round, but the Ghanaian fighter
resorted to holding Garcia to prevent further
punishment. Ultimately, the judges ruled in Garcia’s
favor with scores of 119-108, 118-109, 119-108 for a
victory by unanimous decision.

Golovkin Unifies WBA & IBF
Middleweight Titles
With 9th Round Stoppage Over Murata |
|
Gennady Golovkin (42-1-1,
37 KO's) unified the WBA and IBF Middleweight Titles by
stopping Ryota Murata (16-3, 13 KO's) in the 9th round
in Saitama, Japan. Murata, who held the WBA Title, gave
Golovkin a hard time early, hurting him to the body in
the 2nd round. In round 3 both men started going to war
in a back-and-forth fight. Golovkin withstood the best
Murata had to offer and began to take control in the
4th. By round 6 Golovkin was walking Murata down and to
the ropes. Murata offered minimal in return, holding his
gloves high to protect his head. Golovkin rarely went to
the body, but head-hunting was enough as Murata was
turned around and downed from a quick right hand in the
9th round. Murata's corner had seen enough and threw in
the towel to prevent their fighter from taking further
punishment. Final time was 2:11.

Miguel Berchelt: I'm
Sending A
Message To The Lightweight Division!" |
|
This is a time of firsts
for Mexican star Miguel "El Alacran" Berchelt. The
former WBC super featherweight world champion is now
campaigning as a lightweight and will begin his quest to
become a two-weight world champion Saturday against
Jeremiah Nakathila in the 10-round main event at Resorts
World Las Vegas.
Berchelt also moved his training camp from Mexico to Las
Vegas to work with a new head trainer, Jorge Capetillo.
The Nakathila bout will be his first since his title
reign ended via brutal knockout at the hands of Oscar
Valdez in February 2021. Berchelt (38-2, 34 KOs) made
six successful defenses of the title he won in January
2017, and he hopes the Nakathila fight is the start of a
fruitful lightweight campaign.

In Front Of His Hometown Fans,
Mikael Zewski Fights For A Title |
|
By William Trillo
It was almost exactly twelve years ago that I first saw
Mikael Zewski (35-2, 23 KO’s) in the ring. The Canadian
from Trois-Rivières, Quebec beat his unsuspecting foe
into submission by round three. It was Mikael’s second
professional fight. It was an impressive victory for the
young fighter.
Having already traveled to Quebec twice to cover fights
I kept a watchful eye on Zewski. As my good fortune
would have it, I was able to cover the fighter live in
multiple times in both Montreal and Las Vegas. Over the
years Zewski has become a formidable fighter, a top
contender and a friend.

got to his feet but a left hand from Rincon sealed the

From Ukraine To The US:
The Oleh Dovhun Story |
|
Long before he was a NABA
Champion, and #6 world rated (WBA) super bantamweight
OLEH DOVHUN (13-0 5KO’S) was just a kid growing up in in
the western Ukraine city of Stebynk. With a population
of about only 20,000, Dovhun enjoyed a peaceful
upbringing in his small town religious home, alongside
his mom, dad and older brother. This small-town boy soon
became fascinated with the sport of boxing - a journey
that has led him to Long Island, New York for this
upcoming title defense on March 18 on Star Boxing's
renown "Rockin' Fights" series at The Paramount.

Pure Chocolatito & More |
|
By William Trillo
Whether Julio Cesar Martinez coming into the title fight
overweight was a calculated risk (see Orlando Salido vs.
Vasyl Lomachenko) or just an irresponsible blunder, the
fact of the matter is, it didn’t distract Roman
“Chocolatito” Gonzalez in any way, shape or form.
The fight was pure “Chocolatito” through and through.
Any concerns that the fighter from Nicaragua is on the
downward side of his career were laid to rest in San
Diego. The future looks good for Gonzalez as big fights
loom. When asked what might be next, Gonzalez deferred
to the man he called his boss, that being Matchroom’s
Eddie Hearn. It’s hard to imagine that Hearn is not
going to take another crack at getting that Juan
Francisco Estrada trilogy fired up once again. Fight
fans are clamoring for that “Rubber Match” to happen,
and if we are learning anything about Hearn, it is that
he is getting a knack for giving the people what they
want.

A spectacular showdown was seen tonight at the Plaza
Monumental de Playas de Tijuana between two undefeated
fighters Jaime Munguia (39-0, 31 KOs) “The Pride of
Tijuana” taking on D’Mitrius “Big Meech” Ballard
(21-1-1, 13 KOs) Prince George City, Maryland. The
raging fighters stepped into the ring not losing any
time as they each took turns using their jab, trying to
dictate the pace of the fight. Munguia successfully
cornered Ballard visibly hurting him in the second
round. In the third round, Munguia saw an opportunity
and knocked down Ballard with a body shot. Ballard
eventually got up after spending a few seconds on the
canvas, but was quickly dispatched by Munguia at the
1:47 mark of the fight.
