Montiel moves Oro to 12-1; Last waivers chance of league

2011-08-22T10:41:00.003-04:00

Fernando Montiel, of Oro's Team Tyson's Punchout, scored a 3rd round TKO over Alvaro Perez to move to 12-1 with 10 KOs. Unfortunately, Oro's strong league performance wasn't enough to overtake the undefeated Joel Mesiti and his 8-0-1 Brewed Stew.

Last Waivers Chance

August 27th features 2 heavyweight fights (all 4 fighters are available)

1. Ruslan Chagaev (27-1-1) vs Alexander Povetkin (21-0)

2. Robert Helenius (15-0) vs Sergei Liakhovich (25-3)

Twomey gets Controversial Win; League Possibly Over

2011-08-15T12:48:00.003-04:00

Twomey's Raging Bulls added their 6th win (improving to 6-2) as Abner Mares defeated Joseph Agbeko by majority decision last Saturday night. Mares landed more punches, but also landed a large number of punches below the belt. Fans and announcers seemed shocked as referee Russell Mora repeatedly ignored low shots. The worst moment came in the 10th round as Mares landed a big left hook directly to the cup. Agbeko sank to the ground and the referee counted it as a knockdown, rather than penalize Mares. Mares earns 2 points with the win while an angry Agbeko is demanding a rematch.

Unless teams pick up fighters from waivers, the league is now over.

2011-07-24T22:58:00.002-04:00

Joel Mesiti's Brewed Stew moved to 8-0-1 with 1 KO following Amir Khan's 5th round KO over Zab Judah. Khan (26-1) outworked Judah before finishing him off with a rare uppercut to the belt-line. Khan earns 3 pts with the win. Joel Mesiti has assured himself of the league title, with one month to go in the league.

Marco Huck, of Joel B's Loaded Gloves, scored a 10th round TKO over Hugo Hernan Garay in Germany this past Saturday night. Huck used his strong conditioning and power to overwhelm the veteran Garay, earning 1.5 pts with the win. Joel B moves to 7-1 with 4 KOs.

Juan Manuel Marquez, of Bryn's The Girl's Team, scored a 1st round TKO over Likar Ramos in what was a warm-up fight for his November showdown with Manny Pacquiao. Marquez gains 1.5 pts with the win and Bryn moves to 5-1-1 with 3 KOs.

Oro adds 2 wins and a Rare Fight for Andrew; STANDINGS

2011-07-10T19:48:00.004-04:00

Lucian Bute won by 4th round knockout against challenger Jean Paul Mendy in France yesterday. Bute moves to 29-0 in his career and pushes Oro's Team Tyson's Punchout to 11-1 with 9 KOs on the season. (About a week ago, Pongsaklek Wonjongkam won a fight in Thailand that was barely reported, also a win for Oro).

Paul Williams (40-2) received what most observers felt was a gift decision last night against Erislandy Lara. While the judges scored for Williams by majority decision, HBO's Harold Lederman scored the fight 117-111 for Lara. While I have yet to see the fight, reports indicated that Williams took a lot of brutal shots to the face and ended up a bloody mess. Andrew's Money Marenghi adds .5 with the win (3-1 on the season).

Wladimir Klitschko defeats David Haye; Klitschko Brothers' rule is undisputed

2011-07-04T00:07:00.004-04:00

With a whimper, not a bang, Wladimir Klitschko defeated a backpedalling David Haye by 12-round Unanimous Decision. After an extensive promotional buildup to the fight, boxing fans were hoping that we'd get something we haven't seen in a long time: a 2-sided, high quality, heavyweight championship fight. We didn't get that. What we got was 2 cautious fighters fighting virtually the same performance in every round: Klitschko firing jabs, Haye throwing 3 or 4 windmill shots. Klitschko wasn't great, but Haye wasn't even good. The win gives Bryn 2 pts and moves The Girl's Team to 4-1-1. With Vitali Klitschko owning the WBC belt, Wladimir added Haye's WBA Title to their collection, making the brothers the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

In Argentina, Mark's Celestino Caballero suffered a hard-luck split decision loss to Jonathan Victor Barros. Reports indicate that the verdict may have been the product of hometown judging. Mark's team falls to 5-2.

It's on

2011-07-01T12:22:00.004-04:00

With the weigh-in complete, (Klitschko 243 lbs, Haye 213 lbs) the best heavyweight fight in at least 8 years is set to take place tomorrow. In 2003, Wladimir's older brother Vitali Klitschko gave Lennox Lewis a bit of a beating before losing by 6th round TKO due to a gruesome cut. While that fight was unquestionably a great one, the fact is that Lewis was past his prime and somewhat out of shape (weighing a career-high 256 lbs). So...if Lewis-Klitschko was a match-up that had its flaws, how far back do we have to go in heavyweight history to find 2 well-conditioned, motivated superstars in their prime fighting for all the marbles? Suffice it to say that this is the best heavyweight title fight since the 90s.

David Haye (25-1, 23 KOs) is the WBA Heavyweight Champion, having defeated Nikolai Valuev by decision in 2009. He's defended against John Ruiz and Audley Harrison, winning both fights by knockout. Haye has great heavyweight speed and solid boxing skills. His power has been a factor in all of his fights at heavyweight. He'll be looking to use both boxing skills and power against Klitschko.

Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KOs) is the IBF, WBO & Ring Magazine Heavyweight Champion, as well as the star of Bryn's The Girl's Team. He's been the class of the division since 2005. Klitschko's greatest strengths are his active and strong jab, as well as his smothering defense which has essentially prevented him from being hurt for about six years. He'll be looking to land that jab and follow up with power shots against Haye.

Prediction: I feel like the excessive trash-talking that's taken place before the fight will benefit Haye, who likes to attract attention and likes to pump himself up. He's gotten under Klitschko's skin and has put the Ukranian in an awkward position of trying to decide on going for the KO or simply boxing a safe fight from a distance. Both fighters have predicted a knockout, and both are capable of doing so. But will they take the risks? Both fighters have been KO'd in the past. When the bell rings, I expect a very cautious start. There's no way that either fighter will be brawling from the get-go. As Haye starts to unleash some power punches, he's most likely going to find that Klitschko is extremely hard to hit. This may lead to Haye trying to win on points with flashy jabs and straight rights while moving, or it may force Haye into the danger zone where Klitschko can smash him with his powerful right hand. In the final analysis, I expect David Haye to give Wladimir Klitschko a competitive fight for about 6 rounds. But as the bout wears on, Haye will be faced with the Shane Mosley dilemma (vs Pacquiao) of "Do I take chances and get hit? Or do I just try to go the distance?" I expect Haye to choose the latter, and as much as I'd like to see Wladimir unleash an effective barrage of damaging shots, I think if Haye wants to survive, he'll be able to. W 12 Klitschko.

2011-06-05T15:15:00.005-04:00

Carl Froch of Mesiti's Brewed Stew moved to 28-1 with a 12-round majority decision over tough veteran Glen Johnson (51-15-2). While I have yet to see the fight, reports indicate that it was action-packed and that Froch deserved the victory. Froch earns 2 pts with the win and pushes Mesiti's team to a perfect 7-0-1. With no fights left on the schedule, Mesiti's team looks to be in control of the league title.

The carefully managed Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. was able to use an aggressive body attack to defeat Sebastian Zbik for the WBC Middleweight Title. Chavez Jr. was judged to be the winner by 12-round majority decision, although punchstats indicate that Zbik had more landed punches. Nonetheless, the victory gives Jay's Head Hunters 2 points, and a record of 6-1-1.

Hopkins makes history, while Dawson wins on the undercard

2011-05-23T23:50:00.005-04:00

Bernard Hopkins made history last Saturday night by becoming the oldest man to ever win a boxing world championship at age 46. Facing Jean Pascal for the second time in six months, Hopkins used a good jab, an effective lead right and solid defense to win a unanimous decision. The victory puts Joel M (6-0-1) in the driver's seat for the league championship. Jean Pascal's loss is the first for Bryn's The Girl's Team (3-1-1). Hopkins earns 2 pts, while Pascal gets -1.

On the undercard, Chad Dawson moved to 30-1 with a 12-round decision win over Adrian Diaconu. Dawson used solid boxing skills to beat the tough Canadian fighter. Dawson earns 2 points for Joel B's squad.

Ward used speed, combination punching and controlled the ring for the vast majority of the fight. The win gives Brewed Stew 2 pts and a 5-0-1 record, vaulting Joel M into first place.

Pacman wins; Pavlik and Holyfield add victories; STANDINGS

2011-05-09T16:50:00.005-04:00

Manny Pacquiao (53-3-2) added another name to his hit list as Shane Mosley was completely outworked over 12 rounds. Missing from the fight were the vicious hits that both men have been capable of in the past. Mosley's age is certainly an excuse, but Pacquiao was simply too compassionate or too sloppy to call this a great performance on his part. Pacquiao earns 2 pts for Twomey's Raging Bulls while Jay takes his first loss.

Kelly Pavlik, of Bryn's The Girl's Team, scored a decision win over an unproven fighter named Alfonso Lopez. Pavlik earns 1 pt with the win. Bryn moves to 3-0-1.

BWhit sent poor Evander Holyfield into the ring against a fellow oldie, Brian Nielsen. Holyfield proved himself the better man by 10th round TKO, earning 1.5 pts.

Pacquiao vs Mosley

2011-05-07T00:54:00.005-04:00

Saturday night features a rare must-see pay-per-view between two top fighters. Manny Pacquiao (52-3-2) of Twomey's team faces Shane Mosley (46-6-1) of Jay's team in what will certainly be one of the year's biggest boxing events. Fans should expect an entertaining bout, as both fighters are the aggressive kind and the reward for victory will be enormous. Most people expect that the winner of this fight will step into the ring with Floyd Mayweather, hopefully in the fall. Let's hope Floyd is up to it.

My expectation for the fight is a 10th round TKO for Pacquiao, of Twomey's Raging Bulls. Mosley is probably stronger than Manny, but he has a hard time landing lots of punches at this stage of his career. Even if Mosley does have early success (and he might), Pacquiao is likely to come back with an offensive onslaught unlike anything Mosley has had to deal with. Pacquiao's workrate and speed should be the difference, and I expect that Mosley's ability to deal with the hard punches to the head and body may start to fade as the fight progresses. I'm expecting a win for Pacquiao, if not by TKO then at least on points. An upset win would be huge for Jay's Head Hunters.

BWhit gets a W from "The Raging Bull"

2011-04-26T13:07:00.002-04:00

Veteran Vic "The Raging Bull" Darchinyan came through for BWhit's Yo Gabba Gabba team with a 5th round Technical Decision over Yonnhy Perez. Although Darchinyan has turned in some mediocre performances in the last few years, he brought his A game against Perez, reportedly winning every round before the fight ended due to a headbutt cut. BWhit gets 2 points for the win and moves to 4-2-1 and back into contention.

Twomey & Joel B lose; Mark & Joel M win; STANDINGS

2011-04-18T19:33:00.007-04:00

Chris John (45-0-2) won a 12-round decision over Daud Yordan to retain his WBA Featherweight Title. John has the most fights without a loss in boxing. Mark moves to 5-1 with 2 KOs.

Amir Khan, of Joel M's Brewed Stew won a 6th-round technical decision against Paul McCloskey. Khan was winning the fight handily when McCloskey was cut by an unintentional headbutt. Khan moves to 25-1 in his career, and Joel M goes to 4-0-1 with 0 KOs.

In the weekend's 2nd-biggest upset, Victor Ortiz beat previously undefeated Andre Berto to capture the WBC Welterweight Title. In an action-packed fight, Ortiz simply landed more punches and was more aggressive. Berto's lack of defense may end up being a problem for him in his career. The loss of Berto moves Twomey to 2-2 with 1 KO.

One of the top rising stars in boxing, Juan Manuel Lopez, had his 30-0 career record soiled by the tough and determined Orlando Salido. Lopez, of Joel B's Loaded Gloves, was landing punches but was simply taking too many hard shots from the rugged Salido. The fight was called in round 8, although reports indicated that the stoppage may have come early. Joel B drops to 4-1 with 2 KOs.

BWhit makes a comeback

2011-03-27T16:10:00.003-04:00

Yo Gabba Gabba turned in their finest performance of the year last night as Yuriorkis Gamboa (20-0, 16 KOs) knocked out Jorge Solis in the 4th round. The win earns 3 pts for BWhit's squad and moves him to 3-2-1 with 1 KO. Gamboa is proving himself to have the highest upside of any prospect in boxing. After the fight, he and Juan Manuel Lopez (30-0) discussed a possible showdown this fall. Stay tuned.
