Some good LHW battles this month!

[Romdawg88]

Looks like it's going to be a fun month in the GBA.

[Tommysixfingers]

I'm especially looking forward to Nunn vs. Jackson and Tyson vs. Foreman.

Good stuff as always!

[Ian Lord]

Thanks guys [Mike, Romy, and Tommy]. I'm going to get this up and running again. I've had a hectic few months. Here's a quick recap of what's going on, as much for my own benefit as other peoples.

Heavyweights: World champ Larry Holmes defends against fellow Pennsylvanian Tim Witherspoon over fifteen rounds in August. Meanwhile, in July, Evander Holyfield puts his North American and United States straps on the line against James 'Bonecrusher' Smith.
However, the fight everyone is looking forward to is the upcoming bout between punchers Mike Tyson and George Foreman. This one's been optimistically scheduled for ten. It's unlikely to last that long.

Light-Heavyweights: The elimination tournament is now into the second round [eight fighters], which are being fought this month.

Middleweights: Two-time world champ Marvin Hagler defends against NewYork - Italian tough guy Vito Antuofermo in September, scheduled for fifteen.
In August, Bernard Hopkins will defend his North American and United States titles against Mark Medal, on the undercard of Holmes v Witherspoon.

Welterweights: Don Curry squares of against Antonio Cervantes in a semi-final re-match next month [August]. The winner will meet Sugar Ray Leonard over fifteen rounds in December for the vacant world title.

Lightweight: Roberto Duran defends his world crown over fifteen against United States champ Harry Arroyo in September. Duran is heavily favoured to win.
In August, Bazooka Limon and Jose Luis Ramirez meet over twelve for the inaugral Mexican strap.

6th July - St.Louis, MO

Main event at the Sawis Center saw local attraction, Michael Spinks, square of against Korean Chong-Pal Park. It was a second round match-up in the light heavyweight elimination tournament, and scheduled for ten.
After an even opener, Spinks took the second, relying on his speed and unorthodox style. Park hit the canvas twice in the third. An uppercut to the jaw floored him for a four count. He reagined his feet, but looked shaky, and was then dropped by a dig to the liver, this time for three.
Park regrouped well and took the next two rounds. Spinks then pulled away down the stretch, dropping his foe again in the ninth, this time with a hook to the head for a three count. The unanimous verdict went to Spinks, now 2-0 [1], with scores of 97-92 [x2], and 96-92. Spinks advances to the semis. Park drops to 1-1.

Chief support was another light-heavy elimination bout, this time between Virgil Hill and Eddie Mustafa-Muhammad.
Mustafa-Muhammad made a good start, taking the opener with some solid blows and rattlingHill with a hook to the head followed by some hurtful digs to the body. The second was a rip-roarer, with both men going toe-to toe and Hill, known more for his silky boxing skills, edging it - just.
Hill took the next two stanzas by keeping on his toes, with Mustafa-Muhammad having a good fifth. The pace dropped for the second half of the bout, with Hill the more busier and getting a majority verdict with scores of 97-93, 97-95, and 95-95, to improve to 2-0. Mustafa-Muhammad dips to 1-1 [1].

In a gross mis-match, former world middleweight champion Gerald McClellan slaughtered debutant Marco Antonio Duarte inside a round. Duarte didn't land a punch on McClellan, whereas McClellan was landing at will with some fearsome shots. Thankfully Duarte was okay afterwards.
McClellan, who holds a win over Marvin Hagler, was having his first fight up at light-heavy. He claimed weight-making difficulties were responsible for his last showing, a lack-luster ten round draw qwith Frank Tate, and that he would now be campaigning at light -heavy. The GBA claimed, with the light-heavy division being new, there is a lack of quality opponents for the G-Man at the moment. That may be true, but the four men who fought in the two bouts above McClellan on this card would be sterner tests. Let's hope McClellan is matched tougher in his next bout.

Leon Spinks, older brother of Michael, pleased his home town fans by winning a six round unanimous decision over trial horse Jody Ballard at heavyweight. Scores were 58-56 [x3], with Spinks improving to 2-0, the same as his brother, although Michael appears to be a lot better of in the talent stakes.

Other results:
MW: Roggerrio Cacciatore KO6 Larry Banks
WW: Peter Buckley D4 Bruce Curry

Thanks Tommy. It's good to be back enjoying it.

7th - Bayamon, Puerto Rico

Top of the bill at the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez saw Puerto Rican heavyweight champ, Carlos DeLeon, capture the vacant Carribean title with a spectacular finish against Jamaica's Trevor Berbick.
DeLeon was in command throughout, methodically breaking Berbick down. In the tenth, the usually durable Berbick hit the canvas for the first time in the fight. He was up at seven. He was down again at the beginning of the eleventh for a count of four following a cross to the head. He regained his feet uneasily and DeLeon pounced on him, and sent him crashing again following a barrage of blows. Berbick barely beat the count, and looked finished. DeLeon advanced on his prey once again, and a devastating shot to the head felled Berbick again, with the referee waving it over at the 1.34 mark. DeLeon improved to 8-5-2 [3], whilst Berbick, who ow looks as if his best days are behind him, dropped to 9-11-3 [6].

Chief support saw welterweights Tommy Hearns and Simon Brown battle to a ten round draw, and battle they did. It was a backward and forward contest, with a draw a fair result. Hearns was cut over the right eye in the sixth round. Scores were 95-95 twice, and 97-95 to Hearns, whi is now 2-1-1 [1]. Brown is now 5-1-1 [2].

Fight of the night saw Puerto Rican middleweight Carlos Santos win a unanimous decision against British champ Mo Hope. Scores were 95-93 , 96-93, and 96-92. It was a humdinger of a fight. Hope suffered a flash knockdown in the fourth, then put Santos down for an eight count in the next round which must go down as one of the best rounds ever fought. Both men going toe to toe, with no quarter asked for, and none given. Santos improved to 10-5 [5], whilst Hope dipped to 4-7 [1]. He is better than his record suggests.

Slippery middleweight southpaw, Michael Nunn, totally outboxed and outfoxed Julian Jackson before stopping him at 2.51 of the ninth round to improve to 15-1 [7]. Jackson, 10-4 [6], was down in the fourth ansd sixth rounds before being stopped in the ninth when he was trapped against the ropes, shipping blow after blow.

European and Commonwealth lightweight champ Jim Watt scored an impressive ten round unanimous decision over Livingstone Bramble to run his pro log to 9-1 [6]. Scores were 96-94, 97-93, and 98-92. There were no knockdowns but it was a busy, competetive fight throughout. Bramble is now 5-3 [1].

Oliver Mccall won a dull, sluggish , eight round victory over Ossie Ocassio to improve to 16-6 [7]. Ocassio dips to 1-10. Scores were 78-74 [x2], and 79-73.

[Ian Lord]

13th - Tokyo, Japan

Topping the bill at the Ryogoku Sumo Arena was Asian, Oriental, and Japanese middleweight champ, Tadeshi Mihara. He squared of against constant loser Anthony Bartinelli. It was scheduled for eight.
The crude Mihara took the opener, with Bartinelli edging the second. Mihara then built up a comfortable lead between rounds three and six, before a give and take seventh, in which Mihara suffered a cut over the right eye. It didn't trouble him, was closed between rounds, and Mihara dropped Bartinelli for a flash knockdown in the final stanza, and took a unanimous decision to improve to 9-8 [5]. Scores were 79-73 twice, and 77-75. Bartinelli dropped to 1-15 [1].

Chief support saw a barn burner of a battle between middleweights Shinji Takehara and Keith Holmes. The normally safety first Holmes threw caution to the wind, and gave the fans a treat.
Holmes took the opener, working behind the jab against the sometimes crude Takehara. Then, in the second, the leather began to fly. Both men went tote- to toe, with the stronger Takehara, winning the round, just. Holmes hit the deck in the third when he dropped his guard and was caught by an uppercut. He was up at four. Again, the fourth was a barn burner of a round, with not a lot in it, but Takehara just nicking it again.
The crowd was on their feet in the fifth. Both men going at it hammer and tongs. Unbeleivable stuff. Takehara won this round, but again it was close. Nobody in attendance beleived that these two could keep up this pace, but they did. Again the crowd were on their feet for the sixth. This round was even.
Holmes was floored in the seventh, a bodyshot doing the damage. He clambered up at eight, clearly winded and looking drained.
The end came in the eighth and last round. Holmes hit the deck from a big right to the jaw. He was up at eight, but looking shaky. He was then felled again, this time from a bodyblow. He took the eight count on his knee, drawing on his last reserves to soldier on. There was a cold precision to the work of Takehara now, and he stalked Holmes around the ring, before finally chopping him down again, this time with a left to the head. The referee waved it over. The time was 2.16 of the round.
Takehara improves to 6-7, with all wins coming inside. The gallant loser dips to 7-12 [2].

Mexican welterweight Pipino Cuevas scored a chilling first round knockout against Korean Sang-Hyun Kim at 2.46 of the first. After working away at his foe, Cuevas put his opponent away with a pinpoint hook to the side of the head to improve to 3-2 [2]. Kim is now 1-4.

Other results:
HW: John Tate WTKO8 Mike Weaver
LHW: Dwight Qawi W8 Rodney Toney
LHW: Thomas Reid WTKO2 JB Williamson

[Romdawg88]

Javier should be happy with the result of the Cuevas fight. That Holmes/Takehara sounded like good times though I think Holmes might have been better served using his normal style instead of brawling.

The Holmes/Takehara fight was a cracker, whereas Cuevas' KO was chilling.

14th - Stuttgart, Germany

Bill topper at the Hans Martin Schleyer Halle, the first fight card to be held in Germany, featured Graciano Rocchigiani, Germany's light-heavy hope, and Venezuelan Fulgencio Obelmejias. It was scheduled for ten, and part of the light-heavy tourney to crown the inaugural world champion. The winner advances to the semi-final.
After a tepid opener, both men began to open up more, with Rocchiginai taking the second, [the first was even]. Then, in the third, Obelmejias began to take control of the action, taking the third to seventh rounds, and wobbling his foe in the process in the fifth, with a hard right to the head forcing Rocchigiani to stagger against the ropes. The South American failed to capitalise.
The eighth was a good round for the German favourite, in which he loaded up on his foe, and decking him for a two count after a flurry of punches. Obelmejias controlled the ninth, with Rocchigiani having a fine last round. Everyone knew it was going to be close, and eagerly awaited the decision.
A split decision was called, with the first judge going for the visitor with a score of 96-93. The second judge went for Rocchigiani, again with a score of 96-93. It all hinged on the last judge, who also scored it 96-93, to the winner, Graciano Rocchigiani. The crowd erupted, Obelmejias shook his head, feeling he had won, with this ringside observer agreeing with him. Alas, it can be a cruel sport, and Rocchigiani, now 2-0 [1], advances to the semi's. Obelmejias is now 1-1 [1].

What looked to be a cracking welterweight ten round match-up on paper turned out to be a mis-match in actual fact.
The frenetic Aaron 'The Hawk' Pryor squared of against Lloyd Honeyghan, and controlled his foe quite easily from the opening bell. After constantly eating leather for the first five rounds, Honeyghan's right eye beagn to swell in the sixth. In the seventh, he was down twice. The first knockdown followed a spiteful dig to the liver. He was up at five, only to be toppled again with a hook to the head, this time for eight. Pryor was landing at will, and Honeyghan's corner were releived when the bell rang.
By the eigth, the swelling around Honeyghan's eye was a mess, and he also sustained a nasty cut on it. Another bodyshot dropped him for six. Honeyghan bravely continued, even though by now he was taking punch after punch, and the referee waved it off mercifully at the 2.22 mark.
Pryor, an exciting fighter who looks like he can go a long way in an exciting division, moves to 5-1-1 [4]. The loser is now 3-2-1.

Other Results:

21st - Atlantic City, NJ

Larry Holmes...beware!!! North American and United States heavyweight champ Evander Holyfield showed everyone he is the 'Real Deal' here at the Boardwalk Hall, making short work of challenger James 'Bonecrusher' Smith. It took Holyfield just two minutes and fifty two seconds to dispose of the South Carolina native, dropping him immediatley after the opening bell from a hurtful shot to the solar plexus. Smith was up at eight, but clearly winded.
Holyfield's KO instinct kicked in, and he was all over his stricken foe like a rash, landing blow after blow before the referee mercifully called a halt.
Holyfield improves his pro ledger to 14-4 [11], with a world title shot just round the corner...surely.
Smith dips to 12-11 [5], and just a few fights ago challenged Larry Holmes for the world title [LTKO9], but his better days are now probably behind him.

In a tepid but intriguing chief support, middleweight Frank Tate outpointed former North American champ James Toney over ten. The bout was pretty even for the first five rounds but then Toney appeared to flag with Tate peppering him with jabs and building up the points. Toney came out for a final hurrah in the last, but it was too late and the decision went unanim ously to Tate with scores of 97-94 twice, and 98-93. Tate improves to 10-6-3 [1], while Toney slips to 8-3 [4].

In a light-heavyweight quarter-final match-up, scheduled for ten, local favourite Bobby 'Chappie' Czyz dropped a wide ten round decision to Marvin Johnson but impressed all with his gutsiness.
Scores were 100-90, and 99-91 twice. Both men finished looking a mess, with Czyz' eyes badly swollen and Johnson with a bloody orb. Czyz ate leather all night, but toughed it out. The winner improves to 2-0 [1], and advances to the semi-final. Czyz is now 1-1.

He's been the surprise of the tournament so far, but can he get past Virgil Hill in the semi-final.
Good article on him in Boxing News last week.

28th - New York, New York.

Madison Square Garden was packed to the rafters to see New Yorker 'Iron' Mike Tyson take on big hitting Texan heavyweight George Foreman.
Former world champ Tyson was coming in of a win over Lennox Lewis, whereas Foreman claimed before the fight that there is no heavyweight in the world that can stand up to his punching power, despite having two defeats on his ledger. Both men are known for there fearsome punching. Coming into the fight only one person had gone the distance in all of Tyson's victories, likewise with Foreman.
It was scheduled for ten. It wasn't likely to go the distance, and it didn't.
The first round was even, with both men showing respect for each other. They opened up near the bell, with both men landing a hard shot on each other.
Foreman took control in the second, using his superior strength. He rattled Tyson with an uppercut, followed by another, then another which sent Tyson crashing. He barely beat the count. It was a big round for the Texan.
The third was a closer round, with Tyson edging it. Both men were rocked.
Foreman started of the fourth by landing some heavy bombs on Tyson. A slight lump appeared under his right eye which worsened as it went on due to the heavy blows he was shipping. It was another big round for Foreman, with his superior strength against the short, squat, Tyson becoming a major factor. Foreman picked up the fifth where he left of in the previous round, landing some murderous punches to the head and body of the former world champion. It was only a matter of time now for Tyson, as he was taking punishment which makes guys walk funny by the time they are fifty. He was no longer fending for himself, and the referee waved it of at the 2.38 mark. Foreman was ahead 39-37 on all three cards at the time of the stoppage.
There was no celebration from the sullen, stone-faced winner, who now improves to 10-2 [9] and looks as if he will be matched with Evander Holyfield in an eliminator for the world title, and also the latters North American and United States straps, later in the year.
Tyson drops to 15-7 [14], and can be commended for continually seeking out the top guys to get into the ring with, but perhaps after this beating, and that's what it was, he deserves an easy pay day.

Another former world heavyweight champion, Riddick Bowe, who is also a New Yorker, dished out a beating to Pinklon Thomas, before the fight was halted at 2.11 of round nine. Bowe was loading up on the big shots right from the opener, which he won big. He drew a warning for hitting after the bell.
Thomas had a good second, his only good round of the fight. He edged it with some stylish boxing. After that, Bowe took command. Thomas suffered swelling around the left eye, which worsened as the fight progressed. He went down for a six count following an uppercut in the eigth round, and looked a beaten man. The end came in the following round with his eye swollen almost shut. The ringside doctor inspected it, shook his head, and the fight was waved off. Bowe, who was coming in of a defeat to world champion Larry Holmes improved to 10-3-1 [6], while Thomas dipped to 12-12 [8].

New York welterweight Saul mamby boxed his way to a ten round unanimous decision over Milt 'The Iceman' McCrory to improve to 5-1 [1]. Scores were 97-94, 99-93, and 97-95. The match was competitive to begin with, until seeming to all but come to a halt after the third round, with neither man seeming willing to throw a punch. It livened up in the eighth, but apart from that it was a pretty tepid affair. McCrory dips to 1-4.

New York middleweight Davey Moore got his career back on track with a fifth round knockout over Leonard Townsend to improve to 8-7-1 [6]. Moore had lost his two previous fights.

Welterweight Marlon Starling was also back in the W column with an eight round unanimous points win over Eric Alexander. Starling had lost his last threeand is now 3-4 [2].

Maurice Blocker stopped Oscar Delgado in the fifth of an eight round welterweight match-up.
