GCB RING RAP - ISSUE # 13 ( 8-22-1901)
Welcome back fight fans. Our “Chase For the Championships” is well under way. Each and every one of our fighters are going all out to put themselves in position for a title match. Like we said before, on December 31, 1901 (couple of days to us) we will have our last fights of the year. At that time we will post our “Official GCB World Rankings.” Those final rankings will be our guidelines by which our title contenders will be chosen.
At this stage in our universe, every fight is crucial. If a fighter loses a match he could find himself going from Showtime to No-show. Tonight we saw two top twenty contenders experience big upsets! Both of these were hoping to move up in the rankings, but tonight’s loss almost surely will eliminate them from any chance at being invited to the first GCB Title matches.
Our first upset came when our #17, David Starr of Israel (9-0), who just made his debut in our last ranking, took a spanking from 0-2 Trail horse, Baxter Comer. Comer left the rising Starr flat on his back in the fifth round with a KO that still had the Israelite woozy after the fight.
When asked how he felt about the match, Starr said, “What can I say? One minute I was staring in his eyes. The next minute I was staring at his boot laces! What am I going to do, call him a bum? The guy nailed me and I’m ashamed. I was actually starting to get the fans to cheer for me and now this. I just hope that I can get back in a winning groove.”
This loss will have a huge effect on Starr’s career. It will either make him a better fighter or he will never rise to the top again.
Our next top twenty fighter to lose tonight was also a new comer to our World Rankings. Coming in the fight Ranked #19 and with a 8-0-1 record, USA’s Derrion “Swift” Jeffers went the distance with Club Circuit fighter, Brian Nelsen (0-2). Derrion just could not get it going. He did not look bad, but did not look impressive at all. The match ended with Nelsen’s arm being raised in an Unanimous Decision.
Nelson said after the bout, “I felt really good tonight. I trained harder than usual and it paid off. “Swift” is a good boxer and I respect him. Tonight, I was swifterer or more swifter or… well, you know what I mean!”
Well fight fans, that’s it for tonight. All of our other top contenders won their bouts and continue to “Chase the Championships.” Good night, and remember as always, keep your hands up and keep moving!
