Boxing News & Updates – Sunday 18^th September, 2011 for: IBF/WBA 140 lb champion Amir Khan, Floyd Mayweather claimed the WBC welterweight title, Cortez: Floyd did nothing wrong, WBO cruiserweight champion Marco Huck, Seth Mitchell Looks Sharp, Lindsay Roberts Passes, Danny O’Connor and Devon Alexander

 

• IBF/WBA 140 lb champion Amir Khan will face mandatory challenger Lamont Peterson on December 10th in either Washington, Detroit or Montreal in a bout to be televised on HBO. Peterson does not have a promoter, so Golden Boy Promotions Richard Schaefer said he made a deal with Barry Hunter, Peterson’s manager, trainer and father figure.

 

• Floyd Mayweather claimed the WBC welterweight title at the MGM Grand on Saturday (17 September) with a controversial victory over Victor Ortiz in Las Vegas.Mayweather knocked out Ortiz at the end of the fourth round to extend his unbeaten record to 42 fights. But the 34-year-old appeared to land the knockout blows while Ortiz was apologising after delivering a headbutt seconds earlier.

 

• Cortez: Floyd did nothing wrong – Referee Joe Cortez told the Las Vegas Review Journal that Mayweather’s KO punch was a legal shot. “Time was in,” Cortez said. “The fighter needs to keep his guard up. Mayweather did nothing wrong.”

 

• WBO cruiserweight champion Marco Huck (33-1, 24 KO’s) will face the “biggest challenge” of his career on October 22 when he takes on Argentinian giant Rogelio Rossi (17-2-1, 11 KOs) in Ludwigsburg, Germany. Two metres tall and unbeaten in his last 17 fights, Rossi is between Huck and a successful eighth defence of his title. “Rossi must be the world´s tallest cruiserweight,” Huck said. “I´ve never fought against an opponent as tall as him. I will have to make adjustments in training. It won´t be easy to hit his head, but I can promise my fans that he will go down, just like everybody else who has tried to take away my title.”

 

• Seth Mitchell Looks Sharp – By Scott Shaffer – Seth Mitchell TKO3 Hector Ferreyro… In Las Vegas, ex-Michigan State football player showed why he is gaining recognition as the best American heavyweight prospect. Mitchell, 23-0-1, is a heavily muscled, ex-linebacker who stands 6’2″ and weighs 242. Against the respectable journeyman Ferreyro, Mitchell showed a jab that is one of the fastest in the heavyweight division and used it to shut one of Ferreyro’s eye in less than three rounds. There was one knockdown, and no highlight reel finish because the referee stopped the contest with Ferreyro backed into a corner, but Mitchell made his point as a heavyweight to watch.

 

• Lindsay Roberts Passes – By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing – Hard punching Australian lightweight Lindsay Roberts who boxed from 1969 to 1985 has sadly passed away in Kempsey, New South Wales earlier this month. Roberts scored KO wins over Steve Hallcroft, Willie Leslie and Robert Namana but lost to Larry Valesini, Billy Moeler and future world IBF champion Lester Ellis. Roberts scored 15 wins with 13 by KO losing 24 with 1 draw. Lindsay will be sadly missed by family and friends and also the Australian boxing fraternity.

 

• Danny O’Connor - Popular light welterweight prospect Danny O’Connor returns to the ring Wednesday night (Sept. 21), fighting for the fourth consecutive year on the Fight To Educate (“FTE”) card, at Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire.  This trip, however, the crafty southpaw from Framingham, Mass. has a completely new look. He’s now a father who trains in Houston, home of his new trainer, former two-time world title challenger and past Trainer of the Year, Ronnie Shields. More significantly, though, O’Connor (14-1, 3 KOs) no longer has the word “unbeaten” associated with his name having lost his last fight this past April to undefeated Gabriel Bracero on ShoBox. O’Connor, who was a 2008 U.S. Olympic Team alternate, as well as the 2008 National Golden Gloves Tournament and U.S. Future Stars winner, faces dangerous Jamal Del Cid (7-5, 3 KOs) in a six-round bout.  Chief second Shields has worked with superstars such as Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Pernell Whitaker and the late Vernon Forrest. Today, Ronnie handles Danny’s close friend, world-rated, unbeaten super middleweight Edwin “La Bomba”Rodriguez, in addition to WBA Interim super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux, Erislandy Lara, Kermit Cintron, Jermall Charlo and Mike Lee.  The 10-round main event showcases World Boxing Council (“WBC”) No. 14-rated and 2008 U.S. Olympian, Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade (14-0, 9 KOs), who faces two-time world title challenger Saul “Baby” Duran (38-18-2, 31 KOs).

 

• DevonAlexander – announced his intentions on Friday and made them official Saturday morning with a formal announcement that he has left Don King for Golden Boy Promotions in a move that also signals a move up in weight, from 140 pounds to 147. “One-forty-seven is where I’ll take over,’’ Alexander said at a news conference that included Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer, his trainer Kevin Cunningham and manager Drexel Stith. “I know Richard will put me in a position to do what I’ve got to do at 147. That’s why I made this transition.’’Alexander’s jump from King to Oscar De La Hoya’s company was evident Friday at the MGM Grand when he was introduced before the weigh-in for Saturday night’s Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Victor Ortiz fight, a Golden Boy promotion. Schaefer said the negotiations were conducted over two to three weeks. “It was very easy,’’ Schaefer said. “We wanted him to come to Golden Boy and they wanted to come to us”.

MEN OF STEEL TO DO SHEFFIELD PROUD
SHEFFIELD boxing’s best talent will fly the flag for the Steel city when Hatton Promotions roll into town later this month.

Impressive prospects Adam Etches, Scott Jenkins, Richard Towers and Jezz Wilson are among the local hopefuls boxing at Ponds Forge Arena on Saturday September 24.

Richard Towers and massive ticket seller Adam Etches face Belarussian opponents. Heavyweight Towers is up against Yuri Bihoutseu while light-middleweight Etches boxes Yauheni Abdurazakau.

Another local fighter Scott Jenkins who has sold 300 tickets bids for his second professional win against a selected opponent. Wilson boxes Deeside’s exciting light-middleweight Tom Doran boxes over eight rounds.

The show is heading towards a sell-out and Etches’ followers have even erected a 20 foot banner supporting the unbeaten prospect at one of Sheffield’s busiest road junctions.

Top of the bill is Dewsbury’s Gary Sykes who risks his British super-featherweight crown against Cardiff’s Gary Buckland.

Hatton Promotions President Ricky Hatton said: “It is our first show in Sheffield for more than a year and I am delighted with the card so far.

“Buckland against Sykes will be thrilling and all the local fighters on the undercard fill me with such excitement.

“Richard Towers is one of the best heavyweight prospects about and there can’t be youngsters who generate the excitement of Adam Etches.

Also on the Sheffield bill, former European super-bantamweight champion and recent world title challenger Rendall Munroe boxes a ten rounder against a selected opponent.

And the Steel city’s former Commonwealth light-heavyweight challenger Billy Boyle faces Welsh banger Justyn Hugh.

Manchester’s former amateur star Tommy Stubbs makes his pro debut when he faces, tricky Kuwaiti Anwar Alfadi, who boxes out of Brendan Ingle’s stable.

There are some tickets left priced £35, £55 and £75 VIP from 01925 755222. Be quick, this show WILL sell-out.
