For-Whom-the-Bell-Tolled-2020-Boxing-Obituaries-PART-ONE

The Grim Reaper appeared on the boxing scene on the very first day of what would be a grim year, taking the life of former long-reigning cruiserweight champion Carlos “Sugar” DeLeon on Jan. 1. Not a month was spared and in our annual year-end report, we pay our respects to those that left their mark on this noble but too-often unforgiving sport. The decedents are listed chronologically according to the date of their passing. PART ONE covers January through June.

January

1 – Carlos “Sugar” DeLeon

No one told DeLeon that the cruiserweight class was a mere way station for soon-to-be heavyweights. The Puerto Rico-born cutie appeared in 16 cruiserweight title fights, going 11-4-1. He retired with a 53-8-1 record and kept his hand in the sport as a trainer in his adopted hometown of Buffalo, NY, where he succumbed to a heart attack at age 60.

5 – Dick Turner

A welterweight who took up boxing in the Navy, Turner suffered a detached retina in a bout with Philadelphia intra-city rival Stanley “Kitten” Hayward and never fought again, finishing 19-2-1. He returned to boxing as a trainer when his nephews, the fighting Fletcher brothers, took up the sport. At age 82 in Philadelphia.

12 – Jackie Brown

From Edinburgh Scotland, Brown won the British and then the British Empire flyweight titles in 1962 and fought on the undercard of Muhammad Ali’s 1966 fight in London with Brian London. He migrated to Australia in 2009 and was diagnosed with dementia shortly thereafter. At age 84 in Sydney.

18 – Peter Mathebula

Mathebula became South Africa’s first black boxing champion when he won a narrow 15-round decision over Tae-Shik Kim at LA’s Olympic Auditorium in 1980. He surrendered the belt in his first defense and quit the sport two years later, finishing 36-9. At age 67 after a lengthy illness at a hospital in Gauteng Province, RSA.

30 – Dwight Davison

A lanky middleweight during Detroit’s golden era, Davison came oh-so-close to earning a title shot against Marvin Hagler but could never get past the final hurdle. He finished 44-8 (33) in a career that began in 1977. At age 64 in Detroit of unidentified causes.

31 – Johnny Bumphus

A decorated amateur, Bumphus was a member of the 1980 U.S. Olympic team that was marooned by President Jimmy Carter’s boycott. He won the WBA 140-pound title in 1984, lost it to Gene Hatcher in his first defense in a massive upset and retired at age 26 with equilibrium issues, leaving the sport with a 29-2 record. At age 59 of heart disease in his hometown of Tacoma, Washington, where he battled a cocaine addiction.

February

7 – Bill Miley

An inveterate compiler of boxing records, amateur and pro, Miley turned his hobby into an avocation, cranking out an annual record book and the monthly newsletter “Midwest Boxing News.” A U.S. postal carrier by day, he also moonlighted as a judge and inspector and dabbled as a matchmaker. At age 85 in Burton, Michigan.

11 – Sammy McCarthy

“Smiling Sammy” compiled a 44-8-1 record during a seven-year career that began in 1951 and briefly held the British Featherweight Title. In 1957, at age 25, he was the youngest subject of the popular British TV program “This Is Your Life.” After boxing, he became a serial bank robber, serving three separate stints in prison. In an East London retirement home at age 88.

23 – Jimmy Thunder

Born Ti’a James Senio Peau in Samoa and raised in New Zealand, his signature moment came in 1997 when he knocked out Crawford Grimsley in 13 seconds. He defeated former title-holders Tony Tubbs, Trevor Berbick, and Tim Witherspoon and was recognized as the heavyweight champion by two fringe organizations, but left the sport financially destitute. At age 54 in Auckland, NZ, following surgery for a brain tumor.

March

8 – DeAndrey Abron

During his Army days, Abron was a U.S. Olympic Team alternate and a National Golden Gloves champion. As a pro, he won his first 15 fights and lost his last 10. He fought Zsolt Erdel for the WBO world light heavyweight title, losing on points, and was knocked out in the second round by Deontay Wilder. At age 47 from injuries suffered in a car accident in Youngstown, Ohio.

9 – Barney Eastwood

He built his betting shop into the largest bookmaking chain in Northern Ireland before making his mark in the sweet science, earning the title Mr. Boxing in Belfast. A hands-on manager/promoter who was frequently found working as a cornerman, Eastwood guided the careers of five world champions, most notably Barry McGuigan with whom he had a bitter falling-out. At age 88 of natural causes.

17 – Roger Mayweather

The second of three fighting brothers from Grand Rapids, Michigan, and the original Black Mamba, Mayweather was a world title-holder at 130 and 140 pounds and finished 59-13 despite the handicap of a soft beard. Pictured below with his famous nephew, he was already making his mark as a trainer before his prize pupil fell into his lap. They were together for almost all of Floyd Jr’s 50 fights. At age 59 in Las Vegas where he was suffering from dementia.

roger

23 – Ron Ross

The Brooklyn native dabbled in boxing as a manager and promoter, but earned his spurs as a writer. His 2003 book, “Bummy Davis vs. Murder Incorporated: The Rise and Fall of an Ill-Fated Prizefighter,” earned critical praise and he would subsequently author a biography of Emile Griffith. At age 87 of COVID-19 in Boca, Raton, Florida, where he had retired after selling his Long Island real estate firm.

27 – Nelson Cuevas

Born in Puerto Rico and a longtime resident of the Bronx, Cuevas was a boxing lifer, devoting parts of six decades to the sport as a fighter (6-10-4), cut man, coach, and gym operator. Mentored by Cus D’Amato and renowned cut man Chickie Ferrara, Cuevas worked with such notables as Buddy McGirt, Vinny Pazienza, and a very young Mike Tyson. At age 80 of COVID-19.

29 – Angelo Rottoli

Rottoli was 23-0-2 when he challenged WBC cruiserweight champion Carlos DeLeon in 1987. He lost (TKO by 5) but went on to gather in the European cruiserweight title, finishing 29-3-2 (15). At age 61 in his hometown of Bergamo, Italy, of COVID-19. The pandemic also claimed his mother and brother.

30 – Hedgemon Lewis

A National Golden Gloves champion in two weight divisions, Lewis came up short in two cracks at the world welterweight title held by Jose Napoles, but won the New York version of the diadem with a 15-round decision over Billy Backus. Trained as a pro by the legendary Eddie Futch, he sported a 53-7-2 mark when he left the sport to look after his real estate investments. At age 74 in Detroit where he was raised, yet another victim of COVID-19.

April

7 – Leonard “Nipper” Reed

Reed boxed as an amateur and returned to the sport in an administrative capacity, advancing to the post of Chairman of the British Boxing Board of Control and serving as an executive with the WBA and WBC. He made his name, however, as a Scotland Yard gumshoe whose dogged detective work brought the notorious Kray twins to justice. At age 95 of COVID-19 in a London-area hospital where he was being treated for a foot infection.

16 — Dickie DiVeronica

A protege of Carmen Basilio, DiVeronica graduated from Canastota High School and represented that community in a career that ran from 1958 to 1972. Fighting primarily as a junior welterweight, he compiled a record of 44-13-1. In retirement he co-owned a construction company. At age 82 from complications of Alzheimer’s.

17 – Eddie Cotton

A pillar of the community in Paterson, New Jersey, where he was the first man of color to be named Chairman of the City Council, Cotton was a big man, carrying about 240 pounds on six-foot-five frame, which was an asset when a good ref was needed to work a fight between big men who were prone to mauling. He was the third man in the ring for more than 30 title fights including the Lewis-Tyson mega-fight of 2002. At age 72 in a Paterson nursing home of COVID-19.

25 – Les Stevens

A heavyweight (a cruiserweight by today’s standards), Stevens represented England in the 1970 Commonwealth Games and was 23-5 as a pro. A member of the Traveler community, “Big Les” was no nomad. In retirement he spent 40 years mentoring boys at an amateur boxing club in Berkshire County, near London. At age 69 after a three-week hospital stay.

26 – Stan Ward

Turning pro after graduating from Sacramento State, Ward reached his peak in 1978 when he out-pointed Mike Weaver across 12 rounds in a fight billed for the California Heavyweight Title. He also fought such notables as Greg Page, Gerrie Coetzee, and Ron Lyle to whom he lost a razor-thin decision, finishing 21-7-2. At age 70 of unidentified causes.

May

7 – Jimmy Glenn

Few people in the fight game were as respected as Glenn, a fixture on the New York boxing scene for decades as a trainer, cornerman, and gym operator. Glenn’s Times Square dive bar, which he opened in 1971, was a must-stop for many out-of-town writers covering the fights at nearby Madison Square Garden. Pictured below with the late Bert Sugar, Glenn died at age 89 after a month-long battle with COVID-19.

glenn

20 – Hector Thompson

Holder of numerous regional belts during an 11-year career that began in 1970, Thompson, an indigenous Australian, had two cracks at a world title, coming up short in Panama City engagements with Roberto Duran and Antonio Cervantes. He finished 73-12-2. At age 70 in Brisbane after a lengthy battle with diabetes.

29 – Curtis Cokes

A 2003 IBHOF inductee, Cokes vitalized boxing in his native Dallas where he had 19 of his first 27 pro fights. He won the vacant WBA welterweight title in 1966 and made five successful defenses before running afoul of all-time great Jose Napoles. He could have pursued a career in Hollywood after earning high marks for his portrayal of a non-boxing character in the movie “Fat City,” but opted to remain in Dallas where he became a prominent trainer and gym operator. At age 82 of heart failure.

June

2 – Donald “Biff” Cline

A light heavyweight and Viet Nam veteran, active from 1971 to 1981, Cline finished 16-4-1 with 16 KOs, but never defeated a fighter with a winning record. In 1974, after fighting on national television, he got caught up in a scandal when it was revealed that three of his wins in The Ring Record Book were fictional. At age 72 at a nursing home in Pensacola, Florida, where he was suffering from dementia.

4 – Pete Rademacher

A former college football player, the Grandview, Washington, native represented the U.S. Army at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, winning a gold medal, and then challenged heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson in his very first pro fight. He was no match for Patterson, who stopped him in the sixth, but stayed in the game through 1962, finishing 14-7-1. At age 91 at a veteran’s home in Sandusky, Ohio, where he was suffering from dementia.

9 – Vince Shomo

Raised in Harlem, Shomo won a then-unprecedented four New York City Golden Gloves titles, finished first in his class at the 1959 Pan-American Games, and compiled a 12-10-2 mark as a pro. In retirement he had a career in finance and worked for a time as a boxing official. In East Stroudsburg, PA, at age 79.

14 – William Gildea

The Baltimore native covered many sports during his 50-plus years with the Washington Post, but was partial to boxing. Honored by the BWAA with the Nat Fleischer Award for career excellence in boxing journalism, Gildea authored or co-authored six books, the last of which examined the life of the great lightweight champion Joe Gans. At age 81 from the effects of Parkinson’s.

29 – Ernesto Marcel

A borderline Hall of Famer, the Colon, Panama native won the WBA world featherweight title in 1972 and made four successful defenses. He retired as champion after conquering Alexis Arguello (UD 15), leaving the sport with a record of 40-4-2. At age 72 in Panama City where he was suffering from Alzheimer’s.

30 – Alfred Kotey

The fifth fighter from Ghana to win a world title, Kotey captured the WBA bantamweight belt in his 19th pro fight. His career turned south after two successful defenses and he lost 13 of his last 17 to finish 26-16-1. At age 52 in the Bronx where he was on life support after suffering a stroke.

Avila Perspective, Chap. 322: Super Welter Week in SoCal

Published

on

Avila-Perspective-Chap-322-Super-Welter-Week-in-SoCal

Two below-the-radar super welterweight stars show off their skills this weekend from different parts of Southern California.

One in particular, Charles Conwell, co-headlines a show in Oceanside against a hard-hitting Mexican while another super welter star Sadriddin Akhmedov faces another Mexican hitter in Commerce.

Take your pick.

The super welterweight division is loaded with talent at the moment. If Terence Crawford remained in the division he would be at the top of the class, but he is moving up several weight divisions.

Conwell (21-0, 16 KOs) faces Jorge Garcia Perez (32-4, 26 KOs) a tall knockout puncher from Los Mochis at the Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, Calif. on Saturday April 19. DAZN will stream the Golden Boy Promotions card that also features undisputed flyweight champion Gabriela Fundora. We’ll get to her later.

Conwell might be the best super welterweight out there aside from the big dogs like Vergil Ortiz, Serhii Bohachuk and Sebastian Fundora.

If you are not familiar with Conwell he comes from Cleveland, Ohio and is one of those fighters that other fighters know about. He is good.

He has the James “Lights Out” Toney kind of in-your-face-style where he anchors down and slowly deciphers the opponent’s tools and then takes them away piece by piece. Usually it’s systematic destruction. The kind you see when a skyscraper goes down floor by floor until it’s smoking rubble.

During the Covid days Conwell fought two highly touted undefeated super welters in Wendy Toussaint and Madiyar Ashkeyev. He stopped them both and suddenly was the boogie man of the super welterweight division.

Conwell will be facing Mexico’s taller Garcia who likes to trade blows as most Mexican fighters prefer, especially those from Sinaloa. These guys will be firing H bombs early.

Fundora

Co-headlining the Golden Boy card is Gabriela Fundora (15-0, 7 KOs) the undisputed flyweight champion of the world. She has all the belts and Mexico’s Marilyn Badillo (19-0-1, 3 KOs) wants them.

Gabriela Fundora is the sister of Sebastian Fundora who holds the men’s WBC and WBO super welterweight world titles. Both are tall southpaws with power in each hand to protect the belts they accumulated.

Six months ago, Fundora met Argentina’s Gabriela Alaniz in Las Vegas to determine the undisputed flyweight champion. The much shorter Alaniz tried valiantly to scrap with Fundora and ran into a couple of rocket left hands.

Mexico’s Badillo is an undefeated flyweight from Mexico City who has battled against fellow Mexicans for years. She has fought one world champion in Asley Gonzalez the current super flyweight world titlist. They met years ago with Badillo coming out on top.

Does Badillo have the skill to deal with the taller and hard-hitting Fundora?

When a fighter has a six-inch height advantage like Fundora, it is almost impossible to out-maneuver especially in two-minute rounds. Ask Alaniz who was nearly decapitated when she tried.

This will be Badillo’s first pro fight outside of Mexico.

Commerce Casino

Kazakhstan’s Sadriddin Akhmedov (15-0, 13 KOs) is another dangerous punching super welterweight headlining a 360 Promotions card against Mexico’s Elias Espadas (23-6, 16 KOs) on Saturday at the Commerce Casino.

UFC Fight Pass will stream the 360 Promotions card of about eight bouts.

Akhmedov is another Kazakh puncher similar to the great Gennady “GGG” Golovkin who terrorized the middleweight division for a decade. He doesn’t have the same polish or dexterity but doesn’t lack pure punching power.

It’s another test for the super welterweight who is looking to move up the ladder in the very crowded 154-pound weight division. 360 Promotions already has a top contender in Ukraine’s Serhii Bohachuk who nearly defeated Vergil Ortiz a year ago.

Could Bohachuk and Akhmedov fight each other if nothing else materializes?

That’s a question for another day.

Fights to Watch

Sat. DAZN 5 p.m. Charles Conwell (21-0, 16 KOs) vs. Jorge Garcia Perez (32-4, 26 KOs); Gabriela Fundora (15-0) vs Marilyn Badillo (19-0-1).

Sat. UFC Fight Pass 6 p.m. Sadriddin Akhmedov (15-0) vs Elias Espadas (23-6).

TSS Salutes Thomas Hauser and his Bernie Award Cohorts

Published

on

TSS-Salutes-Thomas-Hauser-and-his-Bernie-Award-Cohorts

The Boxing Writers Association of America has announced the winners of its annual Bernie Awards competition. The awards, named in honor of former five-time BWAA president and frequent TSS contributor Bernard Fernandez, recognize outstanding writing in six categories as represented by stories published the previous year.

Over the years, this venerable website has produced a host of Bernie Award winners. In 2024, Thomas Hauser kept the tradition alive. A story by Hauser that appeared in these pages finished first in the category “Boxing News Story.” Titled “Ryan Garcia and the New York State Athletic Commission,” the story was published on June 23. You can read it HERE.

Hauser also finished first in the category of “Investigative Reporting” for “The Death of Ardi Ndembo,” a story that ran in the (London) Guardian.  (Note: Hauser has owned this category. This is his 11th first place finish for “Investigative Reporting”.)

Thomas Hauser, who entered the International Boxing Hall of Fame with the class of 2019, was honored at last year’s BWAA awards dinner with the A.J. Leibling Award for Outstanding Boxing Writing. The list of previous winners includes such noted authors as W.C. Heinz, Budd Schulberg, Pete Hamill, and George Plimpton, to name just a few.

The Leibling Award is now issued intermittently. The most recent honorees prior to Hauser were Joyce Carol Oates (2015) and Randy Roberts (2019).

Roberts, a Distinguished Professor of History at Purdue University, was tabbed to write the Hauser/Leibling Award story for the glossy magazine for BWAA members published in conjunction with the organization’s annual banquet. Regarding Hauser’s most well-known book, his Muhammad Ali biography, Roberts wrote, “It is nearly impossible to overestimate the importance of the book to our understanding of Ali and his times.” An earlier book by Hauser, “The Black Lights: Inside the World of Professional Boxing,” garnered this accolade: “Anyone who wants to understand boxing today should begin by reading ‘The Black Lights’.”

A panel of six judges determined the Bernie Award winners for stories published in 2024. The stories they evaluated were stripped of their bylines and other identifying marks including the publication or website for which the story was written.

Other winners:

Boxing Event Coverage: Tris Dixon

Boxing Column: Kieran Mulvaney

Boxing Feature (Over 1,500 Words): Lance Pugmire

Boxing Feature (Under 1,500 Words): Chris Mannix

The Dixon, Mulvaney, and Pugmire stories appeared in Boxing Scene; the Mannix story in Sports Illustrated.

The Bernie Award recipients will be honored at the forthcoming BWAA dinner on April 30 at the Edison Ballroom in the heart of Times Square. (For more information, visit the BWAA website). Two days after the dinner, an historic boxing tripleheader will be held in Times Square, the logistics of which should be quite interesting. Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney, and Teofimo Lopez share top billing.

Mekhrubon Sanginov, whose Heroism Nearly Proved Fatal, Returns on Saturday

Published

on

Mekhrubon-Sanginov-whose-Heroism-Nearly-Proved-Fatal-Returns-on-Saturday

To say that Mekhrubon Sanginov is excited to resume his boxing career would be a great understatement. Sanginov, ranked #9 by the WBA at 154 pounds before his hiatus, last fought on July 8, 2022.

He was in great form before his extended leave, having scored four straight fast knockouts, advancing his record to 13-0-1. Had he remained in Las Vegas, where he had settled after his fifth pro fight, his career may have continued on an upward trajectory, but a trip to his hometown of Dushanbe, Tajikistan, turned everything haywire. A run-in with a knife-wielding bully nearly cost him his life, stalling his career for nearly three full years.

Sanginov was exiting a restaurant in Dushanbe when he saw a man, plainly intoxicated, harassing another man, an innocent bystander. Mekhrubon intervened and was stabbed several times with a long knife. One of the puncture wounds came perilously close to puncturing his heart.

“After he stabbed me, I ran after him and hit him and caught him to hold for the police,” recollects Sanginov. “There was a lot of confusion when the police arrived. At first, the police were not certain what had happened.

“By the time I got to the hospital, I had lost two liters of blood, or so I was told. After I was patched up, one of the surgeons said to me, ‘Give thanks to God because he gave you a second life.’ It is like I was born a second time.”

“I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. It could have happened in any city,” he adds. (A story about the incident on another boxing site elicited this comment from a reader: “Good man right there. World would be a better place if more folk were willing to step up when it counts.”)

Sanginov first laced on a pair of gloves at age 10 and was purportedly 105-14 as an amateur. Growing up, the boxer he most admired was Roberto Duran. “Muhammad Ali will always be the greatest and [Marvin] Hagler was great too, but Duran was always my favorite,” he says.

During his absence from the ring, Sanginov married a girl from Tajikistan and became a father. His son Makhmud was born in Las Vegas and has dual citizenship. “Ideally,” he says, “I would like to have three more children. Two more boys and the last one a daughter.”

He also put on a great deal of weight. When he returned to the gym, his trainer Bones Adams was looking at a cruiserweight. But gradually the weight came off – “I had to give up one of my hobbies; I love to eat,” he says – and he will be resuming his career at 154. “Although I am the same weight as before, I feel stronger now. Before I was more of a boy, now I am a full-grown man,” says Sanginov who turned 29 in February.

He has a lot of rust to shed. Because of all those early knockouts, he has answered the bell for only eight rounds in the last four years. Concordantly, his comeback fight on Saturday could be described as a soft re-awakening. Sanginov’s opponent Mahonri Montes, an 18-year pro from Mexico, has a decent record (36-10-2, 25 KOs) but has been relatively inactive and is only 1-3-1 in his last five. Their match at Thunder Studios in Long Beach, California, is slated for eight rounds.

On May 10, Ardreal Holmes (17-0) faces Erickson Lubin (26-2) on a ProBox card in Kissimmee, Florida. It’s an IBF super welterweight title eliminator, meaning that the winner (in theory) will proceed directly to a world title fight.

Sanginov will be watching closely. He and Holmes were scheduled to meet in March of 2022 in the main event of a ShoBox card on Showtime. That match fell out when Sanginov suffered an ankle injury in sparring.

If not for a twist of fate, that may have been Mekhrubon Sanginov in that IBF eliminator, rather than Ardreal Holmes. We will never know, but one thing we do know is that Mekhrubon’s world title aspirations were too strong to be ruined by a knife-wielding bully.
