The world of boxing has been active lately. First, one must give credit to Juan Manuel Lopez for another victory (another 1st round KO) last Saturday on the DLH-Pacquiao undercard. The WBO Junior Featherweight Champ moves to 24-0 and Simply Juanderful moves to 6-0 with the win.
On Thursday, Dec. 11th, IBF Cruiserweight Champion Steve Cunningham fought an entertaining bout against mandatory challenger and former Light Heavyweight Champion Tomasz Adamek of Poland. Cunningham ( proved weak of chin in the fight and his three trips to the canvas ended up being the difference in the fight as Adamek (34-1) won by split decision. Adamek moves to the top spot in the Cruiserweight (200 lb.) division.
Wladimir Klitschko (of Larry Merchant's Vodka Breath) scored a dominating 7th round TKO over Hasim Rahman. Klitschko landed his jab at will, controlling the fight at all times. Rahman had no answer and didn't seem to care that much. Vodka Breath moves to 3-0 with 2 KOs.
James Toney returned to action against former title challenger "Fast" Fres Oquendo. I watched some of the fight and Toney looked sloppy and winded. Oquendo looked weak but had a little more fire in him than Toney. I thought Oquendo won a close decision, but alas the judges found Toney the winner by split verdict.
In other news, former champion Riddick Bowe did finally make his way back into the ring on the Klitschko-Rahman undercard. According to reports, Bowe was slow and hittable but still possesses a decent left jab. Bowe won an 8-round decision to move to 43-1.
League Records:
Simply Juanderful (6-0)
Children Eaters (4-0)
Vodka Breath (3-0)
Knuckle Sandwich (2-0)
Hitmen (2-1)
