For-Whom-the-Bell-Tolled-2023-Boxing-Obituaries-Part-Two-July-Dec

Here is the concluding segment of our annual two-part, end-of-year necrology where we pay homage to boxing notables who left us this year.

July

July 1 – ANTWUN ECHOLS – An alternate on the 1992 U.S. Olympic team, he was a three-time world title challenger, losing to Bernard Hopkins twice and to Anthony Mundine. His career went south after he was shot in the leg during an altercation outside a Davenport, Iowa grocery store in the summer of 2007 and he lost 15 of his last 16 fights. In Davenport at age 62 of an apparent heart attack.

July 8 – PATRICK AOUISSI – A 1992 Olympian, he went on to win the European cruiserweight title. His record as a pro, 24-6, included a loss to Argentine cruiserweight Marcelo Dominguez in his lone crack at a world title. At age 57 from a stroke suffered at a hospital in Vienne, France, where he was a cancer patient.

July 13 – KARL ZURHEIDE – A light heavyweight, active from 1964 to 1979, the Wisconsin journeyman finished 39-29-5, but was better than his record. Eight of his defeats came at the hands of future world title-holders. In retirement, he worked as a parole officer and promoted a handful of club fights. At age 78 at a hospital in Milwaukee after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease.

July 20 – JUAN ‘KID’ MEZA – The first fighter from Mexicali to win a world title, Meza, born Jesus Fernandez, captured the WBC 122-pound title in 1984 with a sensational first-round knockout of Jaime Garza. He lost the belt to Lupe Pintor in his second defense and retired after three more fights with a record of 44-8. At age 67 in Mexicali where he lived alone.

July 20 – AL ROMANO – A fixture on the New England club fight scene in the 1960s and 1970s, Romano won 66 of 99 fights and was recognized at various times as the New England and North American welterweight champion. In retirement he had a long career as a North Adams, MA, police officer. At age 71 in a nursing home in Williamtown, MA, where he was suffering dementia.

July 28 – DAVEY HILTON SR. – The patriarch of Canada’s most successful and most dysfunctional boxing family – two of his sons, Matthew and Davey Jr, won world titles – Davey Sr was a pretty fair fighter in his own right, finishing his career in 1976 with a record of 67-16 per boxrec. At age 83 at his home in Montreal.

July 30 – JOSE LUIS PIMENTEL – The twin brother of bantamweight knockout artist and LA fan favorite Jesus “Little Poison” Pimentel, Jose, a U.S. Army veteran, had three fights with Sho Saijo, losing the rubber match (L TKO 2) when Saijo was the defending WBA world featherweight champion. At age 83 in Chino Hilla, CA, after a long battle with dementia.

August

Aug. 8 – ROY HARRIS – Abetted by a fanciful back story, Harris wangled a match with defending heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson. He had no business in the same ring with Patterson, or with Sonny Liston, or destroyed him in one round, but the “Backwoods Battler” from Cut and Shoot, Texas, was outstanding at the regional level. In retirement, he practiced law and was elected County Clerk, a post he held for 28 years. At age 90 in Conroe, Texas.

Aug. 22 – RENE WELLER – A 1976 Olympian for West Germany, Weller carved out a magnificent record (55-1-2) as a pro without defeating a world class opponent. A major celebrity in Germany during his run as the European lightweight champion, his 1999 conviction for selling cocaine was an international news story. In retirement, he cultivated a new fan base as a contestant on reality TV shows. At age 69 in Pforzheim, his birthplace, after a nine-year battle with dementia.

September

Sept. 6 – MIKE STAFFORD – A fixture on the Cincinnati amateur boxing scene for three decades, Stafford, a greatly admired trainer, developed future title-holders Rau’shee Warren and Adrien Broner from scratch, helped coach the 2004 and 2008 U.S. Olympic squads, and was twice named the National Coach of the Year. In Cincinnati, his birthplace, after a brief and unspecified illness.

Sept. 19 – EDDIE GAZO – The second fighter from Nicaragua to win a world title following the great Alexis Arguello, Gazo won the WBA 154-pound belt at Managua in 1977 with a 15-round decision over Argentine veteran Angel Castellini and made three successful defenses in the Orient before losing the belt to Masashi Kudo in Japan. Late in his career, he was KOed in brief encounters with Thomas Hearns, John Mugabi, and Julian Jackson. At age 73 in Leon, Nicaragua.

Sept. 25 – LUIGI MINCHILLO – A member of Italy’s 1976 Olympic team, he went on to become a European 154-pound champion and two-time world title challenger. He lost only five of 60 pro fights, but three of those losses were to future Hall of Famers Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, and Mike McCallum and he went the distance with Hearns and Duran. At age 68 at a hospital in Pesaro, Italy, where he had a heart attack.

Sept. 27 – BOB SHERIDAN – Enshrined in the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2016, “Colonel Bob” (an honorary title) called more fights in more places around the world than any sportscaster in history. As the anchor of the international feed for Don King Promotions, he was ironically more well-known overseas than in his native U.S. At age 79 in Henderson, Nevada, where he had been battling assorted health issues for more than a decade.

October

Oct. 7 – ERIC GRIFFIN – No great shakes as a pro, Griffin left the sport with a 16-4 record after a failed bid to win the WBO 105-pound title, but the Broussard, Louisiana native – robbed of a medal at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics – was flat-out one of the best U.S. amateurs of all time, a four-time national amateur champion and twice a finalist for the prestigious Sullivan Award. At age 55 at a hospital in Lafayette, LA, from complications of diabetes.

Oct. 13 – HUGH RUSSELL – A bronze medalist for Ireland at the 1980 Moscow Olympics, “Little Red” had only 19 pro fights, winning 17, but won British titles at 118 and 112 pounds and acquired a coveted Lonsdale Belt. After boxing, he spent four decades as a photographer with the Irish News. At age 63 in Belfast, NI, after a short illness.

November

Nov. 5 – MIKE PICCIOTTI – A welterweight, Picciotti cultivated a strong following in the rings of Philadelphia and Atlantic City where he fashioned a 31-4-3 record during an 11-year career that began in 1976. In retirement, he battled numerous health problems while working as a union carpenter to support his growing family. At age 66 in Glenolden, PA.

Nov. 8 – TYRONE TRICE – A three-time world title challenger, Trice was involved in some of the best fights of his era. His 14-round war with welterweight kingpin Simon Brown in 1988, televised live on CBS from France, was a humdinger and his 1990 match with Kevin Pompey set a CompuBox record (since broken) for punches thrown. He finished 43-10 (34 KOs). In Milwaukee, his hometown, at age 60 from an undisclosed illness.

Nov. 24 – SAMUEL TEAH – Born in Liberia, Teah juggled his boxing career with assorted jobs, most recently as a bus driver for the city of Philadelphia. He was 36 years old when he was fatally shot under mysterious circumstances during a mid-afternoon altercation on a sidewalk in Wilmington, Delaware. His 19-5-1 record included a win over O’Shaquie Foster who currently holds the WBC super featherweight title.

December

Dec. 20 – OVE OVESEN – The author of the definitive book on the history of boxing in Denmark, Ovesen was also a prominent judge. He worked 72 world title fights including such biggies as McGuigan-Pedroza, Hagler-Duran, and Pryor-Arguello I. At age 86 in Holstebro, Denmark, from complications of Alzheimer’s.

Dec. 28 (approx.) – CEM KILIC – Born in Germany of Turkish descent, Kilic moved to Los Angeles at age 19 to further his boxing career. A super middleweight, he compiled a 17-1 record and was active as recently as this past August. In Sherman Oaks, CA, at age 29 after  a lengthy battle with mental health and substance abuse issues.

Ramirez Outpoints Barthelemy and Vergil Ortiz Scores Another Fast KO in Fresno

Published

Ramirez-Outpoints-Barthelemy-and-Vergil-Ortiz-Scores-Another-Fast-KO-in-Fresno

Northern California favorite Jose Ramirez avoided an upset and knockout artist Vergil Ortiz destroyed his opponent on Saturday to set up a showdown with Australia’s power-punching Tim Tszyu.

After a 13-month layoff Ramirez (29-1, 18 KOs) shook off ring rust and avoided an upset by Cuba’s Rances Barthelemy (30-3-1, 15 KOs) in a battle between former world champions at Save Mart Center in Fresno.

It was Ramirez’s first bout under Golden Boy Promotions and he was nearly derailed by the slick counter-punching southpaw in the third and six rounds with laser left counters that connected every time. Though he was floored in the third round it was ruled a push down by referee Jack Reiss.

Fans gasped.

“He throws that left hand and I got hit with it in one round,” Ramirez said. “It motivated him.”

Once Ramirez figured out the remedy, he kept the fight inside and attacked the body and head. Barthelemy was unable to uncork one of his long lefts at close distance.

From the seventh round on the former super lightweight champion took control and kept the Cuban fighter against the ropes and unloaded shots to the body and head. He nearly forced a stoppage in the 11th round.

Barthelemy survived but all three judges scored it big for Ramirez after 12 rounds: 119-109 twice and 118-110.

Vergil KOs Number 21

Knowing a win sets up a massive showdown against Aussie slugger Tim Tszyu, the Texas slugger Vergil Ortiz (21-0, 21 KOs) wasted no time in blasting out Puerto Rico’s Thomas Dulorme (26-7-1, 17 KOs) with a perfectly placed left hook to the body. Dulorme collapsed to the ground in agony.

Referee Tom Taylor stopped counting at 2:39 of the first round.

“It was a very calculated punch,” Ortiz said.

It was a commanding one round performance that sets up the showdown against the equally powerful Tszyu who despite losing a split decision to Sebastian Fundora last month by split decision, retains his reputation as a dangerous puncher.

Ortiz, who has 21 knockouts in 21 fights, will probably be fighting Tszyu in Los Angeles on June 1 if all negotiations go smoothly.

“Tim (Tszyu) I know you are watching the fight,” said Ortiz. “I’m ready. Let’s put on a great performance.”

Other Bouts

Oscar Duarte (27-2-1, 22 KOs) proved his knockout loss against Ryan Garcia would not stop him from improving as he defeated Jojo Diaz (33-6-1) by knockout at 2:32 of the ninth round in a super lightweight match. Referee Michael Margado wisely stopped the bludgeoning as a towel came flying in almost simultaneously.

It was the first time Diaz was ever defeated by knockout, though he never touched the canvas. It was also the first time Duarte trained with Robert Garcia and the difference was notable as he repeatedly walked through incoming fire and attacked the smaller fighter continuously.

“I want to fight the best in the world,” Duarte said.

Female Title Fight

A rematch battle for the flyweight championship saw Argentina’s Gabriela Alaniz (15-1) defeat Marlen Esparza (14-2) this time with a two-fisted attack to win by split decision after 10 rounds.

Esparza failed to make weight and walked in three pounds overweight and Alaniz took advantage to win the WBA, WBC, and WBO flyweight titles in the rematch. Once again the scores were puzzling but this time in favor of Alaniz 97-93, 96-94, and 92-98.

Alaniz now holds the WBO, WBA, WBC flyweight world titles.

Welterweights

Mexico’s Raul Curiel (15-0, 13 KOs) busted body shots on Jorge Marron Jr. (20-5-2) and floored him twice in the first round. The second body blow left Marron paralyzed and unable to continue at 1:31 of the first round as referee Thomas Taylor counted him out.

Curiel, who is managed by Frank Espinoza and son, proved he’s ready for the upper levels of the welterweight division.

“I think I’m ready for the bigger names,” Curiel said. “You see the results.”

Avila Perspective, Chap. 282: Ryan’s Song, Golden Boy in Fresno and More

Published

Avila-Perspective-Chap-282-Ryan's-Song-Golden-Boy-in-Fresno-and-More

Avila Perspective, Chap. 282: Ryan’s Song, Golden Boy in Fresno and More

Don’t call it an upset.

Days after Ryan Garcia proved the experts wrong, those same experts are re-tooling their evaluation processes.

It’s mind-boggling to me that 95 percent thought Garcia had no chance. Hear me out.

First, Garcia and Haney fought six times as amateurs with each winning three. But this time with no head gear and smaller gloves, Garcia had to have at least a 50/50 chance of winning. He is faster and a more powerful puncher.

Facts.

Haney is a wonderful boxer with smooth, almost artistic movements. But history has taught us power and speed like Garcia’s can’t be discounted. Think way back to legendary fighters like Willie Pep and Sandy Sadler. All that excellent defensive skill could not prevent Sadler from beating Pep in three of their four meetings.

Power has always been an equalizer against boxing skill.

Ben Lira, one of the wisest and most experienced trainers in Southern California, always professed knockout power was the greatest equalizer in a fight. “You can be behind for nine rounds and one punch can change the outcome,” he said.

Another weird theory spreading before the fight was that Garcia would quit in the fight. That was a puzzling one. Getting stopped by a perfect body shot is not quitting. And that punch came from Gervonta “Tank” Davis who can really crack.

So how did Garcia do it?

In the opening round Ryan Garcia timed Devin Haney’s jab and countered with a snapping left hook that rattled and wobbled the super lightweight champion. After that, Garcia forced Haney to find another game plan.

Garcia and trainer Derrick James must have worked hours on that move.

I must confess that I first saw Garcia’s ability many years ago when he was around 11 or 12. So I do have an advantage regarding his talent. A few things I noticed even back then were his speed and power. Also, that others resented his talent but respected him. He was the guy with everything: talent and looks.

And that brings resentment.

Recently I saw him and his crew rapping a song on social media. Now he’s got a song. Next thing you know Hollywood will be calling and he’ll be in the movies. It’s happened before with fighters such as Art Aragon, the first Golden Boy in the 50s. He was dating movie stars and getting involved with starlets all over Hollywood.

Is history repeating itself or is Garcia creating a new era for boxing?

Since 2016 people claimed he was just a social media creation. Now, after his win over Devin Haney a former undisputed lightweight champion and the WBC super lightweight titleholder, the boxer from the high desert area of Victorville has become one of the highest paid fighters in the world.

Ryan Garcia has entered a new dimension.

Golden Boy Season

After several down years the Los Angeles-based company Golden Boy Promotions suddenly is cracking the whip in 2024.

Avila

Avila

Vergil Ortiz Jr. (20-0, 20 KOs) returns to the ring and faces Puerto Rico’s Thomas Dulorme (26-6-1, 17 KOs) a welterweight gatekeeper who lost to Jaron “Boots” Ennis and Eimantas Stanionis. They meet as super welterweights in the co-main event at Save Mart Arena in Fresno, Calif. on Saturday, April 27. DAZN will stream the Golden Boy Promotions card live.

It’s a quick return to action for Ortiz who is still adjusting to the new weight division. His last fight three months ago ended in less than one round in Las Vegas. It was cut short by an antsy referee and left Ortiz wanting more after more than a year of inactivity in the prize ring.

Ortiz has all the weapons.

Also, Northern California’s Jose Carlos Ramirez (28-1, 18 KOs) meets Cuba’s Rances Barthelemy (30-2-1, 15 KOs) in a welterweight affair set for 12 rounds.

It’s difficult to believe that former super lightweight titlist Ramirez has been written off by fans after only one loss. That was several years ago against Scotland’s Josh Taylor. One loss does not mean the end of a career.

“My goal is to get back on top and to get all those belts back. I still feel like I am one of the best 140-pounders in the division,” said Ramirez who lives in nearby Avenal, Calif.

An added major attraction features Marlen Esparza in a unification rematch against Gabriela “La Chucky” Alaniz for the WBA, WBC, WBO flyweight titles. Their first fight was

a controversial win by Esparza that saw one judge give her nine of 10 rounds in a very close fight. Those Texas judges.

In a match that could steal the show, Oscar Duarte (26-2-1, 21 KOs) faces former world champion Jojo Diaz (33-5-1, 15 KOs) in a lightweight match.

Munguia and Canelo

Don’t sleep on this match.

Its current Golden Boy fighter Jaime Munguia facing former Golden Boy fighter Saul “Canelo” Alvarez in a battle between Mexico’s greatest sluggers next week at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on May 4.

“I think Jaime Munguia is going to do something special in the ring,” said Oscar De La Hoya, the CEO for Golden Boy.

Tijuana’s Munguia showed up at the Wild Card Boxing gym in Hollywood where a throng of media from Mexico and the US met him.

Munguia looked confident and happy about his opportunity to fight great Canelo.

“It’s a hard fight,” said Munguia. “Truth is, its big for Mexico and not only for Mexicans but for boxing.”

Fights to Watch

Fri. DAZN 6 p.m. Yoeniz Tellez (7-0) vs Joseph Jackson (19-0).

Sat. DAZN 9:30 a.m. Peter McGrail (8-1) vs Marc Leach (18-3-1); Beatriz Ferreira (4-0) vs Yanina Del Carmen 14-3).

Ramon Cardenas Channels Micky Ward and KOs Eduardo Ramirez on ProBox

Published

on

Ramon-Cardenas-Channels-Micky-Ward-and-KOs-Eduardo-Ramirez-on-ProBox

The Wednesday night bi-monthly series of fights on the ProBox TV platform is the best deal in boxing; the livestream is free with no strings attached! Tonight’s episode was headlined by a super bantamweight match between San Antonio’s Ramon Cardenas and Eduardo Ramirez who brought a caravan of rooters from his hometown in Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico.

Cardenas, coached by Joel Diaz, entered the contest ranked #4 by the WBA. He was expected to handle Ramirez with little difficulty, but this was a close, tactical fight through eight frames when lightning struck in the form of a left hook to the liver from Cardenas. Ramirez went down on one knee and wasn’t able to beat the count. It was as if Cardenas summoned the ghost of Micky Ward who had a penchant for terminating fights with the same punch that arrived out of the blue.

The official time was 1:37 of round nine. Cardenas improved to 25-1 with his14th win inside the distance. Ramirez, who was stopped in the opening round by Nick “Wrecking” Ball in London in his lone previous fight outside Mexico, falls to 23-3-3.

Co-Feature

In an upset, Tijuana super welterweight Damian Sosa won a split decision over previously undefeated Marques Valle, a local area fighter who was stepping up in class in his first 10-round go. Sosa was the aggressor, repeatedly backing his taller opponent into the ropes where Valle was unable to get good leverage behind his punches.

The 25-year-old Valle, managed by the influential David McWater, was the house fighter. This was his 10th appearance in this building. He brought a 10-0 (7) record and was hoping to emulate the success of his younger brother Dominic Valle who scored a second-round stoppage of his opponent in this ring two weeks ago, improving to 9-0. But Sosa, who brought a 24-2 record, proved to be a bridge too high.

The judges had it 97-93 and 96-94 for the Tijuana invader and a disgraceful 98-92 for the house fighter.

Also

In a fight whose abrupt ending would be echoed by the main event, 34-year-old SoCal featherweight Ronny Rios, now training in Las Vegas, returned to the ring after a 22-month hiatus and scored a fifth-round stoppage over Nicolas Polanco of the Dominican Republic.

A three-punch combo climaxed by a left hook to the liver took the breath out of Polanco who slumped to his knees and was counted out. A two-time world title challenger, Rios advanced to 34-4 (17 KOs). Polanco, 34, declined to 21-6-1. The official time was 0:54 of round five.

The next ProBox show (Wednesday, May 8) will have an international cast with fighters from Kazakhstan, Japan, Mongolia, and the United Kingdom. In the main event, Liverpool’s Robbie Davies Jr will make his U.S. debut against the California-based Kazakh Sergey Lipinets.
