What is Carl Frampton’s Next Move?

Bad Brad

By Donald “Braveheart” Stewart

About the middle of July, each year, it was a day of celebration for about half the community in Northern Ireland. Dubiously dubbed, the Glorious Twelfth, this rowdy celebration is all about one Protestant monarch beating a Catholic one from the year 1690.

For many it is a massive celebration with bands and walks and the right to march and have massive bonfires. For others, it is an anachronistic relic of the past which is used to promote rather than heal rifts. Growing up, as I did on the West Coast of Scotland, we were infected by this, though I was never taken to see a “Walk” or to be part of the celebrations, despite my family having a firm protestant background.

Exclusive Interview by Will “The Scribe” Vickers

If I could do it all over again I would do what I did to get me there. Focus, rest, train… No drinking, no parties and no sex.—Lionel Butler

Butler, when at his peak was renowned as a force to be reckoned with. His blessed raw talent was marred by his lack of commitment outside of the game, but as they say c’est la vie, and he has confirmed that he has ‘no regrets’.

Is Chris Weidman In A Crossroads Fight?

July 20th, 2017

By Anthony “Zute” George

It was not that long ago when Chris “The American Dream” Weidman was one of the biggest stars in the UFC. His stunning knockout of Anderson Silva in 2013 is still a highlight reel gem. Outside of Brazil, many UFC fans were growing tired of The Spider and his goofball antics inside the cage. An All-American wrestler, with matinee idol looks, put a stop to that over the top showboating from Silva. Life was good. Weidman defeated Silva in the immediate rematch as well, albeit in more freakish, as opposed to stunning, fashion, when Silva’s night ended early with a leg injury. By the end of 2013, Anderson Silva’s career was in question, while there was no doubt 2013 was the year of The Weidman.

A Closer Look at Boxer Sam Sheedy

By Donald “Braveheart” Stewart

Just last week I was in the English steel city of Sheffield and was asked – who is famous that comes from here? I managed a few and that was not just because Kell Brook had recently fought at Brammal Lane in the city but must admit that I resorted to Google to find out more.

There are quite a few but the odyssey then took me back to that night at Sheffield United’s ground when Brook lost his world title in his fight with Errol Spence, JR. It was a heart breaking night and led unfortunately to debates about nonsense like whether a fighter should be allowed to quit when his eyesight is under threat.

Ringside Report Sits Down with Bantamweight Boxer Joshua “Don’t Blink” Greer, JR

Exclusive Interview by Anthony “Zute” George

“A year from now I will be a world champion or a top contender in line for a world title the way Journeyman Management moves me.” – Joshua “Don’t Blink” Greer, JR.

Joshua “Don’t Blink” Greer, JR. is a professional boxer who competes in the bantamweight division. His professional record is 14-1-1, 6 KO’s. His lone blemish is a questionable four round majority decision loss against fellow prospect Stephen Fulton; the fight took place in Fulton’s hometown. Greer is a Chicago native and his stock is on the rise. Last Friday night on ShoBox, Greer, JR. earned his third impressive victory of 2017 with a flawless performance against fellow prospect Leroy Davila. “Don’t Blink” dominated the action from the inside and at range. Greer JR.’s first victory of 2017 also took place on ShoBox, as he bested the favored James Smith in stunning knockout fashion. Greer, JR. is on track to transition from prospect to contender as 2017 unfolds. Ringside Report recently caught up with Greer, JR. to discuss his big victory, as well as his future.

Vinny’s Views: Gennady “GGG” Golovkin Vs Canelo Alvarez – The Stats, The Facts and The Fight Prediction is In!

With all the fanfare generated by spectacle of Floyd Mayweather, JR. putting his unblemished 49-0 record on the line against MAA star Conor McGregor’s unbeaten 0-0 boxing ledger I thought it was the perfect time to focus on what’s truly important ahead. The ultimate middleweight showdown extravaganza between two of boxing’s top pound for pound combatants had lingered on the boxing vine for four years undisturbed while it’s champion grew a tad older and perhaps past his peak. In covering this bout as it finally came to fruition and ink on contract dried I sat back and digested the landscape before rushing to judgment with preconceived notions and expectations.

Why Is Boxing Booming in Britain?

July 18th, 2017

By Will “The Scribe” Vickers

Nobody can doubt that the current hotbed for boxing is in Britain, as in the last few years Eddie Hearn and Matchroom have taken over with emphatic fashion. The impact which Eddie Hearn has had upon the boxing game is staggering as manifested by the presence of a glittering stable of fighters.

For the past twenty years Frank Warren has been the largest promoter in the UK by a country mile, but with his main man Tyson Fury out of action, The Hearn’s have, without a shadow of a doubt, taken the limelight.

Why Floyd Mayweather, JR Vs Conor McGregor Mirrors Trump’s Improbable Election Victory

July 17th, 2017

Bad Brad

By Anthony “Zute” George

The mindset of the media, as well as a good portion of citizens in the United States of America is a dangerous one. Make no mistake about it, our country is in peril. If I were wrong, Donald J. Trump would not be President and this upcoming farce between Mayweather, JR. and McGregor would not be happening, and, more importantly would not be such a trending topic on the sports wires, as well as social media. I mention these two events together because they have eerie similarities. Allow me two explain.

First, the media has played both a big part in Trump getting elected and Mayweather, JR. Vs McGregor having such strong legs. Trump received so much free press compared to the rest of the presidential candidates it was laughable; yet, The Donald continues to bite the generous hand of the media. The so called liberal MSNBC constantly covered Trump and his hateful nonsense, while providing Bernie Sanders and Trump’s GOP competition very little coverage. What is most mind boggling about this occurrence is that some TV executives were caught on tape saying that they knew that Trump would be bad for the country, but great for their bottom line. Even if you are a Trump supporter you must admit that is some maladaptive thinking.

Weekend Boxing Results

This past weekend was eventful with a full lineup of excellent fights. Chris Eubank, JR., 25-1, 19 KO’s, left no questions when he put on a brilliant and dominating performance to defeat Arthur Abraham, 46-6, 30 KO’s, via unanimous decision. Eubank, JR., utilize his athleticism and skill to thoroughly outwork the slow starting Abraham. Abraham must ponder whether he wants to continue boxing professionally as this was likely his last chance to make a run at a title. Eubank, JR., moves on to participate in the World Boxing Super Series where he’ll test his mettle against other top super-middleweights to be called the best of the series.

Zute For Thought: MMA Edition

By Anthony “Zute” George

When Gegard Mousasi and Chris Weidman’s fight ended in such odd fashion, the consensus thought was that a rematch was on the horizon. There were others who thought Mousasi was cheated out of a stoppage victory and should be headed for greener pastures in the UFC. Sometimes you wonder why we waste time speculating, as neither scenario came to fruition. Instead, Gegard Mousasi signed a lucrative contract with Bellator MMA. The talented middleweight contender cited more money and sponsorship freedom as factors for departing with the MMA juggernaut. Landing Mousasi might be the best signing Bellator MMA has ever made. He is a top flight, exciting, fighter with plenty left in the tank. Look for Mousasi to fight for the middleweight championship in the near future. His first fight is slated to be against veteran Alexander Shlemenko.

Speaking of Chris Weidman, he certainly is no stranger to oddities. Both fights with Anderson Silva had wild, improbable, finishes, and an odd strategic choice led to Weidman’s demise against Luke Rockhold. Look for The American Dream’s next fight with Kelvin Gastelum, which takes place July 16th, to include some odd circumstances as well. Kelvin is no stranger to the bizarre himself, as his last fight is shrouded in controversy. Both Weidman and Gastelum need to get back on track with a win, one will be disappointed.

Remembering Boxer Evan Armstrong (1943 – 2017)

July 15th, 2017

Bad Brad

By Donald “Braveheart” Stewart

Right now, boxing is filled with the big match ups – Indongo/Crawford or Canelo/Golovkin or Lomachenko/anyone. It’s a time when the big fights are being made and the fans love it.

For me there has been a more important time when the big fights were not being made and the scraps we watched were no less interesting and no less evenly matched. The headliners give us debating points, the lesser known fights give us the stories.

During the week, quietly and with less fanfare than he deserves, one Scottish boxer who never fought for world glory but fought throughout the world, left us as he slipped off the canvas for the final time. We can look back at a legacy as rich in stories as any boxer to grace the square ring.

What makes this more poignant is that I went to school with his son so this takes me on a little piece of nostalgia. I cannot claim that his son was my best friend as our interests and paths never matched but I was always aware of him – and of who his dad was. We met at Mainholm Academy in Ayr, me from a more academic school whilst his rural upbringing from the proud village of Tarbolton meant his cohort were looked on with less than glowing academic promise by the teachers and educators charged with making us better citizens.

Ivan Baranchyk Raises His Record to 17-0 with Win Over Previously Undefeated Keenan Smith on Shobox

By Joshua “City” Brewer

Showtime’s Shobox: The New Generation was back on the air with a televised quadruple header on Friday, July 14th, live in Miami, Oklahoma. The action was thorough throughout. Here’s how Ringside Report saw the action.

The featured much anticipated fight of the night was Keenan “Killer” Smith, 11-1, 5 KO’s Vs Ivan “The Beast” Baranchyk, 17-0, 10 KO’s. As usual, Baranchyk started fast and aggressive looking to end it early. The two fighters found themselves muscling for position through the first minute. It got a little testy early as Smith threw Baranchyk to the ground. Baranchyk was able to land a hard hook after he was back to his feet and the action resumed, the most significant of the round. Overall, the round was a bit sloppy for Baranchyk as he missed many shots

Baranchyk landed a hard left that sent Smith stumbling against the ropes in the second that could have been called a knockdown. Baranchyk was back at it in the third and landed significant hooks to that rocked Smith. The two fighters exchanged punches after the bell and had to be separated by the referee. Smith was able to slow Baranchyk down in round four as he was able to constantly tie him up and use his jab on the outside.

Ringside Report was live in Baltimore, Maryland, at Michael’s 8th Avenue last night for the Bushwacker Boxing Event in Memory of M.B. Smith, SR. It was an action packed crowd with the place almost filled to capacity.

The main event of the evening saw referee Kenny Chevalier in charge of the action as Jesse “The Beast” Nicklow, 26-8-3, 8 KO’s, rematched Chauncey “Grimm” Fields, 4-3, 2 KO’s. Fields opened the fight with a left hook before Nicklow followed up with a right hook to the body. Nicklow continued to press and landed a solid body hook combination. Fields stayed assertive and landed a nice hook of his own before being on the receiving end of another hard combination from Nicklow. Near the end of the round Fields was able to catch Nicklow with a three punch combination though Nicklow dropped his hands and looked at the crowd to insinuate he wasn’t hurt.

Ringside Report Remembers the Legendary Willie Pep

By Donald “Braveheart” Stewart

Honesty has always been, in my opinion, a decent policy. So, this is where I throw up my hands and tell you something that may lower my esteemed reputation amongst all the dear good readers. I turned my attention this week to a boxer I happened to know little about. It may be my UK centric point of view and it may be that in my upbringing his name was just simply never mentioned but there you are – I knew very little about Willie Pep.

Now don’t judge me, I am a simple boy from the West Coast of Ayrshire with an interest in boxing that goes beyond a pay per view subscription but it’s true. Willie Pep was a stranger to me.

The tension between boxing legend Floyd Mayweather and UFC superstar Conor McGregor boiled over into Toronto on Wednesday as the global stars continued their blockbuster World Tour to announce their Aug. 26 showdown on SHOWTIME PPV from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Mayweather and McGregor met on Wednesday for just the second time, jarring toe-to-toe for more than three minutes in the initial faceoff in front of a largely pro-McGregor crowd at Toronto’s Budweiser Stage.

Multi-platinum and GRAMMY Award-winning recording artist Drake made a special guest appearance in front of his hometown Toronto fans “to witness history” for an event to celebrate what he called “the biggest fight in the history of fighting.”

Ringside Report is going to be live at ringside on Thursday, July 13, 2017, in Baltimore, Maryland, as they play host to the Bushwacker Boxing Event in memory of M.B. Smith, SR. For those who aren’t aware, Baltimore is very much a fight town and this is one of many boxing events taking place throughout the year.

This card will be headlined by Jessie “The Beast” Nicklow, 26-8-3, 8 KO’s as he takes on Chauncey Fields, 4-3, 2 KO’s in an eighth round grudge match of Nicklow’s January 13th unanimous decision win over Fields. This fight will take place in the super middleweight division. This will be Nicklow’s first return to the ring since their first fight while Fields has subsequently dropped two fights via knockout. In boxing and life in general, every day is a new day and new opportunity. When within the confines of a ring anything can certainly happen.

By Donald “Braveheart” Stewart

On July 15th, one kid shall climb into the ring to continue his redemption and what he believes is his ascent towards his destiny – a world title.

It has been a long and arduous road and his name does not meet with universal support within or outwith the boxing community. His abilities, however, are not only serious they make him a very serious prospect in his hunt to become a world champion, possibly as early as in 2018.

Qatari born, Abdul-Bari Awad or as he is better known, Kid Galahad, 22-0, 13 KO’s of Sheffield, came to the UK as a child, following the Gulf War, grew up on tough streets and has served one ban, for the use of illegal substances. He is also the former British, Commonwealth and European bantamweight title holder. These two facts mean he divides opinion as to his right to climb into a ring as well as the expectations we all have when he does so.
