Jose Ramirez Defeats Maurice Hooker Via TKO in the 6th Round in a Classic Struggle

By Anthony “Zute” George

Saturday’s showdown between Jose Ramirez and Maurice Hooker on DAZN conjured up thoughts of some classic 140-pound fighters and fights. This fight also added some spice to an already simmering pot that is the 140-pound division today. It was a fight that all die-hard boxing fans marked on their calendar, and they were not disappointed. Jose Ramirez, the partial WBC 140-pound champion, made a bold move by agreeing to face Maurice Hooker, the WBO champion, in Hooker’s hometown. And odd move, considering that Ramirez has proved to be a much better draw in his home state of California, compared to what Hooker draws in Texas. Indeed, it was a gutsy and calculated move by Ramirez and Top Rank Boxing that paid off immensely.

Gervonta Davis Destroys Ricardo Nunez in the Second Round – Boxing News

July 28th, 2019

Bad Brad

Gervonta Davis returned to Baltimore in empathic fashion, defending his WBA Super Featherweight World Championship with a second round technical knockout of mandatory challenger Ricardo Núñez Saturday on SHOWTIME from a sold-out Royal Farms Arena.

Fighting for the first time at home as a world champion, and in the first world title fight in Baltimore in nearly 50 years, Davis again proved why he’s one of boxing’s brightest young stars. After a first round where he peppered Núñez to the body, the youngest reigning America world champion landed a series of brutal left hooks flush to Núñez’s face that sent the challenger stumbling into the ropes in the second. With Núñez (21-3, 19 KOs) leaning against the ropes and unable to defend himself, referee Harvey Dock stepped in to stop the contest at 1:33.

CES MMA Heavyweight Champion of the World Greg “Ribz” Rebello successfully defended his title for the first time in tonight’s “CES MMA 57” main event, knocking out his challenger and friend, Kevin “The North Woods Nightmare” Haley, with a single punch in the first round.`.

The main card steamed live and exclusively in UFC FIGHT PASS®, the world’s leading digital subscription service for combat sports, live from Twin River Casino Hotel in Lincoln, Rhode Island.

Rebello, fighting out of nearby Cranston, had to overcome an unintentional low blow that briefly halted the action. He came back strong with a left hook that dropped Haley like a ton of bricks. The referee jumped in as Rebello threw another shot before Haley suffered additional damage.

Ringside Report Looks Back at Former WBA Cruiserweight Champion Ossie Ocasio

Growing up Jaws was a film for me. Scott Blacklock and his family took me to see it when I think I was far too young to be able to appreciate the subtleties of the genius onscreen. All I remembered afterwards was the fright when the shark appeared below water. I lived by the sea. Nobody swam in the ocean that summer…

In the ring Jaws was an entirely different kettle of fish. Ossie Ocasio, 23-13-1, 12 KO’s, is a Puerto Rican former cruiserweight world champion whose nickname came from biting an opponent during a sparring session.

Andy Ruiz, JR: His Path To The Championship

July 26th, 2019

Bad Brad

By Anthony “Zute” George

Andy Ruiz, JR. did not start at the top. Not entirely anyway. While he had a stellar amateur career, a record of 105-5, he fell short of becoming an Olympian by losing to Oscar Rivas of Columbia. The Destroyer soon put that disappointment in his rearview mirror, as he became a highly-touted prospect under the Top Rank Boxing umbrella. Having Top Rank on your side is like winning the golden ticket in boxing. Despite Bob Arum’s sometimes murky reputation, as he has been ridiculed for things he has said and done over the years, his reputation for being the boss of a company that builds fighters with an impeccable approach is baked in the cake. And that is the truth.

By Vinny “Glory Days” Lucci

Last week’s event of the summer’s showdown between legend Manny Pacquiao and undefeated welterweight champion Keith Thurman was like huge wave exploding on the seashore with the remainder of season’s bouts feeling more like the riptide heading back out to sea. The clash of styles and attitudes as well as youth versus experience failed to produce a passing of the torch that Thurman’s fans were clamoring for. As Pacquiao’s worldwide fan base exalted yet once again at his persistent ability to take on the challenges of boxers a decade younger and schooling them in the art of mayhem the waning calendar appears to be a letdown. Fear not fisticuff withdrawals as smart promoters have inserted entertaining bouts to get us through the dog days of summer until the next mega bout arrives.
