GCB Ring Rap Issue # 17 February 30, 1902

Welcome fight fans. So far this year the GCB has exploded with excitement! With only two months behind us here in 1902, we have already crowned three new Champions!
As you know by now, our first World Champion was crowned on January 30. In a surprise finish, Collin “Tweety” Byrd, who has not been known for his power, gave Joseph “Showtime” Metzger a pounding for thirteen rounds before finishing him off by KO. Collin became the first ever GCB World Champion!
After the fight, Metzger fired his trainer accusing him of not preparing him properly for the fight.
The truth is, everyone was surprised by Byrd’s sudden burst of power and aggressiveness. No trainer could have foreseen the freight train that hit Metzger that night. I guess you have got to blame somebody.

Global Championship Boxing First World Title Fight

After crowning the GCB World Champion, we then began to crown our regional Champs. As you remember, each fighter in the MAIN EVENT group is placed in one of three regions that best identifies where his home country is located. Only those fighters in each region can compete for the regional Title.
Our second Title fight took place on February 15 and was for the Western Continental Title. Youngster, “Killer” Kelly Carter, from the USA, faced Mexico’s Miguel “The Bull” Torria. Torria came out slugging and flattened Carter in the second round. Carter found himself almost out for the count, but regained his composure and fought back strong. Carter out scored “The Bull” for the rest of the fight and was named, by Unanimous Decision, the winner of the fight and first ever GCB Western Continental Champion!

Our third Title fight just took place tonight. The GCB Central Continental Title was on the line as Two great fighters, both from the UK, went head to head for the prestigious title! Denny “DW Williams overcame a loss in his first career fight to win his next eleven fights in a row to earn a Title shot against the almost perfect “Sir” Harold Winston.
This fight tonight was absolutely amazing. If you have not had a chance to see it you may have missed one of the best fights ever! At this time, we are not going to tell you who won that fight. You really ought to check it out at:
Global Championship Boxing's Central Continental Title Bout!!!

We will say this, there were five knock downs in this fight! The man laying on his back last could not get back up. We do have a new Central Continental Champion and He is…..

In other news….

We just want to mention that at the beginning of 1902 we had a new fighter join the GCB. His name is Jaque Sheperd. He is from New Zealand and many believe that he is going to take the GCB by storm! So far he is 2-0 with 2 KO’s.

Also, 1902 marked a crucial time for some of our fighters. According to our Ageing Formula, this is the year that some of our fighters are moved to “POST-PRIME” stage of their careers. Those fighters are listed below:

Main Event Guys:
Marcus Dominguez, Raymond Micender, Steve Sully, Henry “The Prince” Wales.
We will be updating you on their careers. How long will they last? Only they control that!

Well, that’s it for now. Always remember, Keep you hands up and keep moving!
