Boxing Obituaries 2018 PART TWO: (H-W)
In 2018, the “10 count” was tolled for an unusually high number of notable boxing personalities – so many that we here at TSS elected to publish our annual year-end obits story in two parts. Here is PART TWO.
Joergen Hansen – A 1968 Olympian, Hansen was 78-14 in a 13-year career. He was 9-2 in European welterweight title fights but his lone trip to the United States ended in disaster when he was knocked out in the opening round by Pipino Cuevas on the undercard of a big show at the Houston Astrodome. In 2010 he was diagnosed with pugilistic dementia. On March 15 at age 74 in Aalborg, Denmark.
Brendan Ingle – Born in Dublin, one of 15 children, Ingle made little headway as a pro boxer, finishing 19-14, but became one of the most revered trainers of his generation. His grubby little gym in the hardscrabble east end of Sheffield, England, produced five world champions, most notably Naseem Hamed. On May 25 at age 77 in Sheffield from a brain hemorrhage.
Dave Jacobs – Jacobs and his assistant Janks Morton built an amateur boxing dynasty at a rec center in Palmer Park, Maryland. He guided his most prominent student, Sugar Ray Leonard, to an Olympic gold medal and was an assistant to Angelo Dundee during much of Leonard’s pro career. He was also associated with Mike Tyson when Tyson returned from prison. On March 23 at age 84 in Washington, DC, from congestive heart failure.
Alonzo Johnson – Before assuming the role of a trial horse, he split two fights with future light heavyweight champion Willie Pastrano, outpointed a faded Nino Valdes and troubled a young Cassius Clay while losing a 10-round decision in a nationally televised fight. The former New York Golden Gloves champion was 84 when he passed away on Nov. 22 in Braddock, Pennsylvania.
Alvin Blue Lewis – From the meanest streets of Detroit and the meaner confines of Michigan’s Jackson State Prison, Lewis, a heavyweight, was 30-6 in a career that began in 1966. In his most famous fight he was stopped in the 11th round by former sparring partner Muhammad Ali at Dublin’s Croke Park. He was suffering from dementia when he died on Jan. 21 at age 75 in Flint.
John McCain – A passionate boxing fan, the former POW served six terms in the U.S. Senate and was the 2008 Republican nominee for President. An advocate of federal oversight of professional boxing, he designed the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act intended to free boxers from the stranglehold of long-term promotional contracts. On Aug. 25 in Cornville, AZ, at age 81 of brain cancer.
Martin McGarry – An immigrant from County Mayo, Ireland, McGarry founded a boxing club on Chicago’s South Side and became a legend in Chicagoland amateur boxing circles. On Jan. 24 at age 66 in Chicago from a rare hereditary disease that had claimed other members of his family.
Rafael Mendoza – The Merida, Mexico native was involved in boxing for more than 50 years, serving the sport as a journalist, booking agent, matchmaker, and manager. He advised 26 world title-holders and was the original manager of Canelo Alvarez. Fluent in many languages, Mendoza was an authority on the life of Frank Sinatra. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2015. On March 8 in Guadalajara at age 80 of lung cancer.
Karl Mildenberger – Germany’s biggest boxing star since Max Schmeling, Mildenberger was the European heavyweight champion and had a 49-2-3 record when he became the first southpaw to challenge for the world heavyweight title, opposing Muhammad Ali before 45,000 in Frankfurt. He had his moments in the early rounds but the 24-year-old Ali, at the height of his powers, gradually assumed control and the fight was stopped in the 12th. On Oct. 5 at age 80 in his birthplace of Kaiserlautern where in retirement he worked as a lifeguard.
Elisha Obed – The only fighter from the Bahamas to win a world title, Obed, born Everette Ferguson, accomplished the feat in 1975 when he stopped Brazil’s Miguel de Oliveira in the 11th round in Paris for the WBC 154-pound diadem. Obed, who turned pro at age 14, compiled a 91-22-4 record with 60 knockouts. Most of his losses came very late in his 21-year career. On June 28 at age 66 in Nassau. He had been suffering from dementia.
Graciano Rocchigiani – A world title holder at 168 and 175 pounds, Rocchigiani finished his career with a record of 41-6-1. The four fighters that beat him (he fought Henry Maske and Dariusz Michaelzewski twice) were collectively 183-1-2 when he fought them. Born and raised in Germany, he died on Oct. 2 at age 54 in Belpasso, Italy, when he was hit by a car while taking a walk.
Luis Rosa Jr. – A 26-year-old featherweight with a 23-1 record, Rosa died on Jan. 14 from injuries suffered in a car crash near his New Haven, Connecticut home.

Farid Salim – The “Rudolph Valentino of the Pampas” was recognized as the middleweight champion of Argentina when he invaded the U.S. where he had six TV fights, defeating Ted Wright and Joey Giambra, but losing to Wilbert McClure, Yama Bahama, Joey Archer, and Hurricane Carter. He finished 46-5-3 and was never stopped. In Salta, Argentina, on July 17 at age 81.
James Scott – A light heavyweight, Scott had 22 pro fights, the first 11 in Miami Beach and the last 11, seven of which were televised, inside the walls of New Jersey’s Rahway State Prison where he was serving a 30-40 year sentence as a multiple offender. At Rahway, he outpointed future light heavyweight champion Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, then known as Eddie Gregory, and lost a 10-round decision to future cruiserweight champion Dwight Muhammad Qawi, then known as Dwight Braxton. Paroled in 2005, he died on May 8 at age 70 (or thereabouts) in a New Jersey nursing home.

Smith was 75 when he was killed on May 15 by an apparent drunken driver while walking near his Phoenix home.
Grace Sseruwagi – As an amateur he knocked out Idi Amin and sparred with Cassius Clay and went on to become the most celebrated boxing coach in Uganda. On Feb. 6 at 87 in Kampala from complications of diabetes.
Bunny Sterling – Born in Jamaica, raised in London, Sterling was the first fighter born in the West Indies to win a British title.

Northern California’s Cain Sandoval remained undefeated with a knockout win over Mark Bernaldez in a super lightweight battle on Friday on a 360 Promotions card.
Sandoval (15-0, 13 KOs) of Sacramento needed four rounds to figure out tough Filipino fighter Bernaldez (25-7, 14 KOs) in front of a packed crowd at Chumash Casino in Santa Ynez.
Bernaldez had gone eight rounds against Mexico’s very tough Oscar Duarte. He showed no fear for Sandoval’s reputed power and both fired bombs at each other from the second round on.
Things turned in favor of Sandoval when he targeted the body and soon had Bernaldez in retreat. It was apparent Sandoval had discovered a weakness.
In the beginning of the fourth Sandoval fired a stiff jab to the body that buckled Bernaldez but he did not go down. And when both resumed in firing position Sandoval connected with an overhand right and down went the Filipino fighter. He was counted out by referee Rudy Barragan at 34 seconds of the round.
“I’m surprised he took my jab to the body. I respect that. I have a knockout and I’m happy about that,” Sandoval said.
Other Bouts
Popular female fighter Lupe Medina (9-0) remained undefeated with a solid victory over the determined Agustina Vazquez (4-3-2) by unanimous decision after eight rounds in a minimumweight fight between Southern Californians.
Early on Vazquez gave Medina trouble disrupting her patter with solid jabs. And when Medina overloaded with combination punches, she was laced with counters from Vazquez during the first four rounds.
Things turned around in the fifth round as Medina used a jab to keep Vazquez at a preferred distance. And when she attacked it was no more than two-punch combination and maintaining a distance.
Vazquez proved determined but discovered clinching was not a good idea as Medina took advantage and overran her with blows. Still, Vazquez looked solid. All three judges saw it 79-73 for Medina.
A battle between Southern Californian’s saw Compton’s Christopher Rios (11-2) put on the pressure all eight rounds against Eastvale’s Daniel Barrera (8-1-1) and emerged the winner by majority decision in a flyweight battle.
It was Barrera’s first loss as a pro. He never could discover how to stay off the ropes and that proved his downfall. Neither fighter was knocked down but one judge saw it 76-76, and two others 79-73 for Rios.
In a welterweight fight Gor Yeritsyan (20-1,16 KOs) scorched Luis Ramos (23-7) with a 12-punch combination the sent him to the mat in the second round. After Ramos beat the count he was met with an eight punch volley and the fight was stopped at 2:11 of the second round by knockout.
Super feather prospect Abel Mejia (7-0, 5 KOs) floored Alfredo Diaz (9-12) in the fifth round but found the Mexican fighter to be very durable in their six-round fight. Mejia caught Diaz with a left hook in the fifth round for a knockdown. But the fight resumed with all three judges scoring it 60-53 for Mejia who fights out of El Modena, Calif.

By TSS Special Correspondent David Harazduk — After David Alaverdian (8-0-1, 6 KOs) scored a gritty victory against a tough Nicaraguan journeyman named Enrique Irias, his plans suddenly changed. The flashy flyweight from Nahariya, Israel hoped to face even tougher opposition and then challenge for a world title within a year or so. But a prolonged illness forced David to rip up the script.
The Irias fight was over 22 months ago. On Saturday, Feb. 22, Alaverdian will be making his first appearance in the ring since that win when he faces veteran road warrior Josue “Zurdo” Morales (31-16-4, 13 KOs) at the Westgate Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. It’s the fifth promotion by Las Vegas attorney Stephen Reid whose inaugural card was at this venue on Feb. 13, 2020.
“I’m excited to come back,” Alaverdian declared.
During his preparation for Irias two years ago, Alaverdian felt fatigue after a routine six-round sparring session. “It was on April 1, 2023, about ten days before my fight. It felt like an April Fool’s joke,” he said. He came down with a sore throat, a headache, and congestion. He soon developed trouble breathing. At first, he thought his seasonal asthma had flared up, but his condition soon worsened. No matter what he did, Alaverdian could no longer take deep breaths. Fatigue continued to plague him. His heart constantly raced. Instead of breathing from his diaphragm, he was breathing from his chest. He sought out numerous doctors in the United States and in Israel.
His symptoms were finally diagnosed as Dysfunctional Breathing (DB). DB is a condition that can stem from stress and is often misdiagnosed. Its symptoms include dyspnea and tachycardia, both of which David experienced.
While receiving treatment, the Vegas-based pro went back to Israel where he coached aspiring fighters. “David’s influence on Israeli boxing is amazing, because he shows we can succeed in a big business even though we come from a small country,” said another undefeated Israeli flyweight, 20-year-old Yonatan Landman (7-0, 7 KOs). “A lot more Israelis are going to dare to succeed.”
Landman was able to work with Alaverdian during David’s return to Israel. “He is a great guy and a friend,” Landman said. “He has a lot of willingness to help, share his knowledge, and help you move forward.”
Alaverdian finally started to feel like he could compete again eight months ago. He won last year’s Israeli national amateur championship and competed in Olympic qualifiers. Now, he’s preparing to fight as a professional once again. “He doesn’t mention anything about [his breathing issues] like he did before,” his coach Cedric Ferguson said about this camp. “He’s been working like there’s no issue at all.”
It has been a whirlwind week for the 31-year-old Alaverdian. In addition to putting the finishing touches on his preparation ahead of Saturday’s comeback fight, David got married on Tuesday. His mom came over from Israel for the wedding and will stay for the fight. “It’s a good distraction,” David said of this week’s significant events. “It helps me. That way I don’t have to focus on the fight all day.”
Josue Morales, a 32 year old from Houston, hopes to play spoiler on Saturday. The crafty southpaw has never been stopped during his 52-fight career. “He’s a seasoned guy with a lot of experience,” Alaverdian said of Morales. “He knows how to move around the ring and is more of a technical boxer. He’s a tough opponent for someone who has been out of the ring for two years.”
A win Saturday night would complete a monumental week for David Alaverdian, both in and out of the ring, repairing the once-shredded script.
Doors open at the Westgate fight arena at 6:30 pm. The first bout goes at 7:00. Seven fights are scheduled including an 8-round female fight between Las Vegas light flyweight Yadira Bustillos and Argentine veteran Tamara Demarco.

Two Candidates for the Greatest Fight Card in Boxing History
Saturday’s fight card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, topped by the rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol for undisputed light heavyweight supremacy, was being hyped as the greatest boxing card ever. That was before Daniel Dubois took ill and had to pull out of his IBF world heavyweight title defense against Joseph Parker, yielding his slot to last-minute replacement Martin Bakole.
The view from here is that the card remains in the running for the best fight card ever, top to bottom. The public didn’t view Dubois as the legitimate heavyweight champion. That distinction goes to Oleksandr Usyk.
Terms like “greatest” are, of course, subjective. Are we referring to the most attractive match-ups or the greatest array of talent, or the card that gives the most satisfaction by churning out a multiplicity of entertaining fights?
We won’t know how satisfying this card is until after the fact. We won’t know whether the talent on display was the greatest ever assembled on one night until many years have passed. Contestants such as Shakur Stevenson, Vergil Ortiz Jr, and Hamzah Sheeraz are still in their twenties (Stevenson is the oldest of the three at age 27) and it’s too soon to gauge if they will leave the sport with a great legacy.
As for which fight card in history had the deepest pool of attractive match-ups, this is a query that is amenable to an operational definition. Betting lines are a useful tool for informing us whether or not a fight warrants our attention if the likelihood of witnessing a closely-contested bout is our primary consideration.
Based on these factors, I would submit that the current leader in the race for the best card ever assembled goes to Don King’s May 7, 1994 promotion at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Six future Hall of Famers – Julio Cesar Chavez, Ricardo Lopez, Azumah Nelson, Terry Norris, Julian Jackson, and Christy Martin — were on that card, an 11-fight, eight-hour marathon with five WBC world title fights, four of which were rematches.
These were the five title fights:
140 pounds: Julio Cesar Chavez (89-1-1, 77 KOs) vs. Frankie Randall (49-2-1, 39 KOs)
Odds: Chavez 3/1 (minus-300)
154 pounds: Terry Norris (37-4, 23 KOs) vs. Simon Brown (41-2, 30 KOs)
Odds: even (11/10 and take your pick)
160 pounds: Gerald McClellan (30-2, 28 KOs) vs. Julian Jackson (48-2, 45 KOs)
Odds: McClellan 7/2 (minus-350)
130 pounds: Azumah Nelson (37-2-2, 26 KOs) vs. Jesse James Leija (27-0-2, 13 KOs)
Odds: Nelson 17/10 (minus-170)
105 pounds: Ricardo Lopez (36-0, 27 KOs) vs. Kermin Guardia (21-0, 14 KOs)
Odds: none
Results
Chavez-Randall — Julio Cesar Chavez avenged his loss to Frankie Randall, but not without controversy. An accidental clash of heads in the eighth round left Chavez with a bad gash on his forehead. Ring physician Flip Homansky would have allowed the bout to continue if that had been Chavez’s preference, but El Gran Campeon wasn’t so inclined. A WBC rule specified that in the event of a significant injury accruing from an accidental head butt, the less-damaged fighter is penalized a point. The fight went to the scorecards where Chavez won a split decision that would have been a draw without the point deduction. The crowd was overwhelmingly pro-Chavez, but the big bets were mostly on Randall and the odds got nicked down on the day of the fight.
Brown-Norris — In their first meeting in December of the previous year, Simon Brown dominated Terry Norris from the opening bell before stopping him in the fourth round. It was a massive upset. Norris was in the conversation for the top pound-for-pound fighter in the sport. In the rematch, Norris opened a slight favorite, but the late money was on Brown. And, once again, the so-called “sharps” were on the wrong side. Terry Norris, the would-be avenger, won a comfortable decision.
McClellan-Jackson — A murderous puncher, Gerald McClellan bombed out Julian Jackson in 83 seconds, or four rounds quicker than in their first engagement. Jackson was also a murderous puncher and attracted money in the sports books, lowering the price on the victorious McClellan who yet remained a solid favorite.
Nelson-Leija – WBC President Jose Sulaiman mandated this rematch after the first meeting ended in a draw after an error was found in the tabulation of one of the scorecards, overturning the original verdict which had Nelson retaining his title on a split decision. Leija thought he was robbed and was the rightful winner in the do-over, outworking Nelson to win a unanimous decision. At age 35, Azumah was getting long in the tooth.
Lopez-Guardia – Before the digital age, bookmakers didn’t trifle to post lines on bouts that on paper were egregious mismatches, save perhaps a fight of great magnitude. Guardia, the Colombian challenger, overachieved by lasting the distance in a fight with no knockdowns, but “Finito” won a lopsided decision.
A Note on Odds
Betting lines serve a useful purpose for boxing historians; they quantify the magnitude of an upset. However, quoting odds is tricky because they are fluid and vary somewhat from place to place. What this means is that two journalists can quote different odds on the same event and they both can get it right – unless there is a significant disparity. The odds quoted above are the closing lines at the MGM Grand or, at the very least, a very close approximation.
Saturday in Riyadh
One reason why tomorrow’s fight card is the best ever, said the tub-thumpers, is that the card (in its original conformation) included seven world title fights. But that’s no big deal There are so many title fights nowadays that the term “world title” has been trivialized. And what wasn’t acknowledged is that three of the title fights were of the “interim” stripe.
However – and this is a big deal — a glance at the odds informs us that tomorrow’s card is chock-full of competitive match-ups (at least on paper) and from that aspect, a blend of quality and quantity, it is a doozy of a boxing card.
The greatest boxing linemaker of my generation, now deceased, once told me that any fight where the “chalk” was less than a 3/1 favorite is essentially a “pick-‘em” fight. Yes, I know that makes no sense mathematically. However, I know what he was getting at. In a baseball game, for example, it’s very rare to find a team favored by odds of more than 3/1. In boxing, where self-serving promoters are constantly feeding us King Kong vs. Mickey Mouse, odds higher than 3/1 are the norm.
As this is being written, there are six fights on Saturday’s card where one could play the favorite without laying more than 3/1. I believe this is unprecedented. Moreover, the main event and a fascinating match-up on the undercard, Vergil Ortiz Jr vs Israil Madrimov, are virtual toss-ups with the favorites, Beterbiev and Ortiz, currently available at 5/4 (minus-125). Another very intriguing fight is the heavyweight contest between late bloomers Agit Kabayel and Zhilei Zhang which finds the less-heralded Kabayel cloaked as a small favorite. And kudos to Joseph Parker for accepting Martin Bakole when he could have held out for a lesser opponent. If Bakole is in shape (a big “if”), he will be a handful.
And so, where does tomorrow’s card rank on the list of best boxing cards ever? Right up there near the top, we would argue, and, if the bouts in large part are memorably entertaining, we would push it ahead of Don King’s May 7, 1994 extravaganza.
That’s the view from here. Feel free to dissent.
Postscript: If you plan to watch the entire card ($25.99 on DAZN for U.S. buyers), it would help to stock up on some munchies. The first fight (Joshua Buatsi vs. Callum Smith) is scheduled to kick off at 8:45 a.m. for us viewers in the Pacific Time Zone / 11:45 a.m. ET. If the show adheres tight to its schedule (no guarantee), Beterbiev and Bivol are expected to enter the ring at 3:00 p.m. PT/6:00 p.m. ET.
