AVILA RINGSIDE: In Primetime, Thurman Beats Guerrero, Broner UDs Molina

Published

on

LAS VEGAS-Keith “One Time” Thurman walked in needing to prove himself against the elite competition and Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero was eager to prove Thurman wasn’t ready. After 12 rounds and a knockdown Thurman showed he belongs on Saturday.

Not only did Thurman prove he belongs but his promotion company Premier Boxing Champions also showed it belongs, with a stage set-up that rivaled a blockbuster concert at the MGM Garden Arena. It was 50/50 on the entertainment value with Thurman’s fight living up to expectations and Broner’s fight not so much before 10,106 fans.

First let’s talk about the main event.

Thurman erupted from the sound of the bell. Guerrero was able to slip the first barrage but only because he’s in a different class. Thurman continued the aggressiveness and landed rights to the body and a counter right to the head.

Guerrero opened up in the second round with some blows to the body and a counter right hook that caught Thurman’s attention. Thurman finally rebounded with a counter right and was able to touch Guerrero in a close round.

A big welt emerged on Thurman’s head after they both collided inside. Guerrero scored with some left uppercuts and right hooks. Thurman landed a big right hand but neither fighter seemed hurt.

Thurman landed several big right hands in the fourth round. A big one landed flush but Guerrero seemed undisturbed by the impact.

After Thurman connected with a quick right lead, Guerrero stepped on the motor a bit and shot straight left hands back-to-back the connected well. A right hook also landed for the Gilroy fighter.

It was a big sixth round for Thurman who connected solidly with a one-two that seemed to stun Guerrero, though the Gilroy fighter counter attacked Thurman, finished the round and landed two big right hands.

Both fighters limited their punching in the seventh round, but Thurman used his jab to snap Guerrero’s head back twice in the round. Both fired simultaneously but neither was effective in the lackluster round.

Thurman lunged and connected with a right hand that seemed to clip Guerrero on the temple and down he went. He got up but a cut emerged on his left eye. It was the best round for Thurman.

Instead of taking advantage of a hurt Guerrero, Thurman decided to run around the ring and an eruption of boos from the crowd rained down. He scooted around the ring until the last 30 seconds and both fought inside for a short whole.

In the final round Thurman decided to play it safe and run around the ring. Guerrero was able to land some solid blows but not nearly enough to hurt Thurman, but enough to win the round. But at this point Thurman had a big enough lead to win the fight.

All three judges scored it 120-107, 118-109, 118-108 for Thurman.

“Robert Guerrero was a tremendous warrior, a veteran, a four time champ. I was able to knock him down late,” said Thurman. “I know I hurt him each and every round. It was a tremendous fight and a great learning experience.”

Guerrero was gracious in defeat.

“He came and he did his job I take my hat off to him. Now I know why they call him One Time. He hits hard,” said Guerrero. “I’m Mexican-American. I come to fight. I put my body and soul into this.”

Broner wins

The fleet Adrien Broner (30-1, 22 Kos) wouldn’t allow hammer fisted John Molina (27-6, 22 Kos) to duke it out and after a short blip in the third and fifth round, the Cincy fighter put it into cruise control to win by unanimous decision after 12 rounds.

Broner kept control in the first two rounds as both fighters seemed reluctant to launch the first blows. Jabs by Broner scored points in the lackluster rounds.

Round three saw Molina finally unload the bombs as Broner seemed a little surprised at the speed of the punches. Several appeared to get through but Broner was never hurt by any of the blows. It was Molina’s best round.

Broner regained control in the fourth round with precise jabs and occasional right hands. Molina waited for his opening but it never came.

Molina looked placid in the fifth as Broner stabbed those jabs through his guard. After some one-twos, Broner began to talk and Molina hit him with some solid overhand rights that seemed to surprise the Cincy fighter. That late eruption seemed to steal the round for Molina.

Broner regained the momentum with a brilliant three-punch combination in the sixth round. Molina returned with a counter right but was unable to land more than one blow from that point on as Broner hit and moved.

All three judges scored it for Broner 120-108 twice and 118-110.

According to CompuBox, Broner out-landed Molina 219 to 54 punches.

“I know I lived up to the hype. Even swinging for the fences the guy was dangerous,” said Broner. “John Molina, he’s a great fighter. He’s tough I had to be careful…even a vicious guy like John Molina I stayed right inside his reach and didn’t go nowhere.”

Abner Mares (29-1-1, 15 Kos) won a lackluster fight against Mexico’s Arturo Reyes (18-5, 5 KOs) in a featherweight bout that seemed to entice half the audience to leave. After 10 rounds that included a knockdown by Mares in the second round, the three judges scored it for the Southern California featherweight 96-93, 98-97, 99-94.

Heavyweight hopeful Dominic Breazeale (14-0, 13 Kos) survived a first round knockdown and rallied from behind to drop Victor Bisbal (21-3, 15 Kos) in the third round with a left uppercut and right hand that left him hanging on the ropes with his back to Breazeale. The referee correctly ruled it a knockdown and Breazeale attacked but was stymied by Bisbal’s holding tactics. In the fourth round the left uppercut again caught Bisbal and a flurry of punches wobbled him again and forced the referee to stop the fight at 1:28 of the fourth round.

Prelims

A battle between Mexican featherweights took place with Guadalajara’s hard-hitting Jorge Lara (27-0-1, 19 Kos) wasting little time in pummeling Mexico City’s Mario Macias (25-15, 13 Kos). A left cross wobbled Macias then Lara immediately floored Macias with a right hook. Macias beat the count and was caught against the ropes where he absorbed six big blows. Referee Tony Weeks stopped the fight at 2:04 of the first round for a technical knockout for Lara.

San Antonio’s Mario Barrios (8-0, 4 Kos) used his height, reach, and power to dismantle Justin Lopez (5-3) of Michigan at 1:53 of the third round. A 14-punch barrage by Barrios forced referee Robert Byrd to stop the fight. Barrios had scored a knockdown in the second round.

R.I.P. IBF founder Bob Lee who was Banished from Boxing by the FBI

Published

on

RIP-IBF-founder-Bob-Lee-who-was-Banished-from-Boxing-by-the-FBI

“The image some people have of me is disappointing,” said Bob Lee in a 2006 interview, “but I also feel I had a positive impact on the sport…”

Lee, the founder of the International Boxing Federation who died yesterday (Sunday, March 24) at age 91, spoke those words to Philadelphia Daily News boxing writer Bernard Fernandez who was the first person to interview him when he emerged from a federal prison in 2006. Lee served 22 months on charges that included racketeering, money laundering, and tax evasion.

Born and raised in northern New Jersey and a lifelong resident of the Garden State, Lee, a former police detective, founded the International Boxing Federation (henceforth IBF) in 1983 after a failed bid to win the presidency of the World Boxing Association. At the time, there were only two relevant sanctioning bodies, the WBA, then headquartered in Venezuela, and the WBC, headquartered in Mexico. Both organizations were charged with favoring boxers from Spanish-speaking countries in their ratings at the expense of boxers from the United States.

Bob Lee’s brainchild, whose stated mission was to rectify that injustice, achieved instant credibility when Marvin Hagler and Larry Holmes turned their back on the established organizations. Hagler’s 1983 bout with Wilford Scypion and Holmes’ 1984 match with Bonecrusher Smith were world title fights sanctioned exclusively by the IBF, the last of the three extant organizations to do away with 15-round title fights.

Lee’s world was rocked in November of 1999 when a federal grand jury handed down an indictment that accused him and three IBF officials, including his son Robert W. “Robby” Lee Jr., of taking bribes from promoters and managers in return for higher rankings. The FBI, after a two-year investigation, concluded that $338,000 was paid over a 13-year period by individuals representing 23 boxers.

The government’s key witness was C. Douglas Beavers, the longtime chairman of the IBF ratings committee who wore a wire as a government informant in return for immunity and provided video-tape evidence of a $5000 payout in a seedy Virginia motel room. Promoters Bob Arum and Cedric Kushner both testified that they gave the IBF $100,000 to get the organization’s seal of approval for a match between heavyweight champion George Foreman and Axel Schulz (Arum asserted that he paid the money through a middleman, Stan Hoffman). In return, the IBF gave Schulz a “special exemption” to its rules, allowing the German to bypass Michael Moorer who had a rematch clause that would never be honored. (In a sworn deposition, Big George testified that he had no knowledge of any kickback).

After a long-drawn-out trial that consumed four months including 15 days of jury deliberations, Bob Lee was acquitted on all but six of 32 counts. His son, charged with nine counts, was acquitted on all nine. The jury simply did not trust the veracity of many that testified for the prosecution. (No surprise there; after all, they were boxing people.) But neither did the jury buy into the argument that whatever money Lee received was in the form of gifts and gratuities, a common business practice.

The IBF was run by a court-appointed overseer from January of 2000 until the fall of 2003. Under its current head, Daryl Peoples, who came up from the ranks, assuming the presidency in 2010, the IBF has stayed out of the crosshairs of federal prosecutors.

As part of his sentence, Bob Lee was prohibited from having any further dealings with boxing and that would have included buying a ticket to sit in the cheap seats at a boxing card. This was adding insult to injury as Lee’s passion for boxing ran deep. As a boy working as a caddy at a New Jersey golf course, he had met Joe Louis and Sugar Ray Robinson, two of the proudest moments of his life.

As for his contributions to the sport, Lee had this to say in his post-prison talk with Bernard Fernandez: “We instituted the 168-pound [super middleweight] weight class. We took measures to reduce the incidence of eye injuries in boxing. We changed the weigh-in from the day of the fight to the day before, which prevented fighters from entering the ring so dehydrated that they were putting themselves at risk. All these things, and more, were tremendously beneficial to boxing. I’m very proud of all that we accomplished.”

Bob Lee was a tough old bird. Diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 1986, he was insulin-dependent for much of his adult life and yet he lived into his nineties. Although his coloration as a shakedown artist is a stain that will never go away, many people will tell you that, on balance, he was a good man whose lapses ought not define him.

That’s not for us to judge. We send our condolences to his loved ones. May he rest in peace.

Australia’s Nikita Tszyu Stands Poised to Escape the Long Shadow of His Brother

Published

on

Australia's-Nikita-Tszyu-Stands-Poised-to-Escape-the-Long-Shadow-of-His-Brother

They held a confab for the boxing media last week at the spacious Las Vegas gym where WBO super welterweight champion Tim Tszyu has been training for his forthcoming match with Sebastian Fundora. Tim was there, of course, as were many of the fighters in the supporting bouts plus Tim’s younger brother Nikita who was inconspicuous in this gathering.

Nikita Tszyu isn’t on Saturday’s card and so was never spotlighted, but it’s likely that most of the media-types there knew nothing about him. Had they been Aussies, he wouldn’t have been able to blend into the scenery as the Sydneysider is already a major sports personality in the Land Down Under. More than that, he is seemingly on pace to become as big a star as his older brother who has been called the face of boxing in Australia.

In his last start, Nikita wrested the Australian 154-pound title from previously undefeated (10-0) Dylan Biggs. Their bout in the Australian harbor city of Newcastle headlined a pay-per-view telecast.

Nikita was down in the first 45 seconds of the contest and was buzzed in the third, but had Biggs in dire straits in the fourth and ended matters in the next frame with a wicked left hook to the liver. Biggs somehow made it to his feet, but the bout was waived off seconds later as Biggs’ corner was throwing in the towel.

It improved Nikita’s record to 8-0 (7 KOs) and burnished the reputation of the Tszyu dynasty. Collectively, the three Tszyu’s – his Hall of Fame father Kostya, his bother Tim and Nikita – are 48-0 in Australian rings.

Outside the squared circle, Nikita Tszyu, who is 26 years old and looks younger, comes across as thoroughly unspoiled. Talking with him, what started as a formal interview quickly became a relaxed chat between two old souls (as Nikita described himself) enjoying each others company. And as prizefighters go, he sure is different. A college grad, Nikita cited gardening, of all things, when we inquired if he had any hobbies.

As amateurs, Nikita had a deeper background and was more decorated than Tim. But in 2017, he turned his back on boxing to pursue a degree in architecture. He was away from boxing for five years before deciding to give the sport another fling.

“I wanted to be the first person in my family to be smart,” he says tongue-in-cheek when asked how he could abandon a sport that was seemingly in his blood. “My mom wanted one of us to get a college degree,” he says, elaborating. “When it wasn’t going to work out for Tim, it fell on my shoulders.”

As is well known, Nikita’s parents divorced (Nikita was then just starting high school) and his dad then returned to his native Russia and started a new family. But the brothers and their father remain on cordial terms – they speak on the phone periodically – and they are close to Kostya’s parents (their paternal grandparents) who live near Nikita in the Sydney area and are currently watching Nikita’s three dogs, a husky, a French Bulldog, and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. “I can’t imagine a life without them,” says Nikita who, unlike his brother, has no special lady living under his roof.

The family tie extends to the brothers’ trainer Igor Goloubev who is married to their aunt (Kostya’s sister). Uncle Igor, a training partner of Kostya Tszyu in the old days, came to Sydney in 1997 with a touring Russian amateur team and, unlike the famous boxer, never left.

During the lull between the two generations of fighting Tszyus, Igor Goloubev founded a construction company that he still owns. While working for an architectural firm (working remotely because of Covid), Nikita was able to work part-time for his uncle which was good hands-on experience for a future architect.

When Goloubev counsels one of the brothers between rounds, the old becomes new again and this blast from the past doesn’t stop there. The brothers are managed by Newcastle NSW businessman Glen Jennings who formerly managed Kostya, widely considered one of the two or three best junior welterweights of all time. (Jennings says that as a boxer Nikita is more like his dad whereas Tim is more of a pressure fighter.)

This is Nikita Tszyu’s second trip to Las Vegas. He was here last year when Tim was preparing for a match with Jermell Charlo. When that match fell out, Nikita used the occasion for a little holiday, the highlight of which was a hike through Northern California’s Redwood Forest, home to the world’s tallest trees.

“Your national parks are the coolest things about America,” he says. As for the food? ”Too much fat,” he says, wrinkling his nose, but that’s a moot point as Team Tszyu now travels with its own chef.

Nikita Tszyu will defend his Australian title on April 24th. At this writing, the opponent is uncertain. Three leading candidates fell by the wayside, two because they lost a fight they were supposed to win, ruining their credibility, and another because he got injured. Finding good opponents may prove to be a recurrent hassle in part because Nikita, unlike his brother, is a southpaw.

Coming up the ladder, Tim Tszyu looked forward to fighting at the MGM Grand where his father won his first title (TKO 6 over Jake Rodriguez in 1995) and had one of his most memorable fights, a second-round stoppage of Zab Judah in 2001. The T-Mobile Arena didn’t exist back then, but sits on MGM Grand property, so Saturday’s fight is a dream come true for the older Tszyu brother.

Looking down the road, it’s easy to envision Nikita becoming a headline attraction here too.

Dalton Smith KOs Jose Zepeda and Sandy Ryan Stops Terri Harper in England

Dalton Smith KOs Jose Zepeda and Sandy Ryan Stops Terri Harper in England

England showed off its talent in Sheffield.

Super lightweight prospect Dalton Smith advanced into the championship level and Sandy Ryan proved to be not just another world titlist on Saturday.

Dalton Smith (16-0, 12 KOs) faced the venomous punching power of Jose “Chon” Zepeda (37-5, 28 KOs) and eliminated him with a body shot knockout that left the world title challenger gasping for air at Sheffield Arena in Sheffield, England.

“I had to be on my game. He (Zepeda) puts people to sleep,” said Smith.

If any questions existed on Smith’s ability to compete at the championship level, the 27-year-old answered emphatically with a clinical and professional-style win.

Smith walked into the prize ring realizing that southpaw slugger Zepeda could end the night with a single punch. He carefully measured the California-based fighter’s movements and punching power before stepping on the gas from the second round on.

“He’s a great fighter,” explained Smith of Zepeda. “That’s what made me train harder.”

During the first several rounds the two hard-hitting punchers were able to score. Zepeda clipped Smith with quick rights and occasional lefts but discovered that the British fighter has a chin. That seemed to allow Smith to open-up slightly more with one-two combinations.

After Smith gained serious momentum in the third and fourth rounds, Zepeda shortened up his stride and looked to put on more pressure. In the fifth round Zepeda moved closer into firing range and ran into a right cross to the belly that took the strength out of his legs. Down went Zepeda for the count at 1:25 of the fifth round.

“I was hitting him with clean shots and it wasn’t doing anything,” said Smith of his head attack.

Apparently, the body shot was the answer.

Sandy Ryan Wins Battle of Champions

WBO welterweight titlist Sandy Ryan won the battle between British champions with a pile-driving stoppage of Terri Harper who, after dropping down a weight division but was unable to be competitive.

Ryan (7-1-1, 3 KOs) walked into enemy territory and quieted the pro-Harper (14-2-2, 6 KOs) crowd with a riveting attack at Sheffield Arena. There was no stopping her on this night.

“I’m just happy,” said Ryan, 30, of Derby England.

After spending months in Las Vegas, Nevada living and training away from her home in England, the tall slender fighter Ryan finally was able to lure a fellow British world champion in the boxing ring.

“I was away from family and friends for so long,” Ryan said.

A close first round between the two female champions saw Ryan open up the second round behind a riveting left jab and body shots that made Harper hesitant and gun shy to counter.

Ryan seemed to sense early that she was in control and opened up with five- and six-punch combinations. And when Harper retaliated, Ryan returned fire again almost daring her rival to engage in a free-for-all.

Harper clinched several times in the third round to stymie Ryan’s constant attack, but it was not enough. The WBO titlist seemed even more eager to win by knockout and opened up with little concern of Harper’s counters.

In the fifth round it was obvious that Ryan was in complete control, the only question was if she could maintain the frenetic pace. Again, she opened up with punishing combinations as Harper looked for a solution. Instead, rights and lefts pummeled the super welterweight titlist until the end of the round.

Harper’s corner decided to end the fight, Referee Marcus McDonnell declared Ryan the winner at the end of the fifth round by technical knockout.

“I felt her fading,” said Ryan.

The win by Ryan sets her up for a rematch against Jessica McCaskill who holds the WBA and WBC welterweight titles. Their first encounter ended in a split draw after 10 rounds last September in Orlando, Florida.

Ryan expressed a desire to face any champion.

“Any big fight. All the big names,” Ryan said.

Other Results

Ishmael Davis (13-0) defeated Troy Williamson (20-3-1) by unanimous decision after 12 rounds for a regional middleweight title.

James Flint (14-1-2) handed Campbell Hatton (14-1) fis first defeat as a pro by unanimous decision after 10 rounds in a super lightweight match.
