XYIENCE OUSTED AS OFFICIAL UFC SUPPLEMENT

Posted on | July 9, 2008 | No Comments

Some shifting around of advertising on the UFC mat made room for the Xyience logo once again at a few recent events despite the company’s ongoing bankruptcy. Although their Xenergy drink might still be the official energy drink of the UFC, Xyience’s reign as the UFC’s official supplement sponsor has been cut short by a new kid on the block.

In other news, Fight News Unlimited learned recently through some back channels that Xyience is finally honoring outstanding fighter sponsorships and recently began producing and distributing a complete product line once again. Only time will tell if the brand will recover enough to actually start sponsoring fighters yet again, too.

CUNNINGHAM SAYS CHICAGO IS PERFECT FOR ADAMEK TITLE FIGHT HOST’S PHILLY PIZZA PARTY FOR ADAMEK’S

Posted on | July 9, 2008 | 1 Comment

USS CUNNINGHAM PIZZA AT 57TH AND MASTERS IN WEST PHILLY, 8PM

PHILIDEPHIA, PA (July 8, 2008) IBF Cruiserweight World Champion Steve USS Cunningham will be an interested party this Friday night as he watches # 1 IBF Cruiserweight Mandatory Tomasz Adamek square off in the main event of ESPN2’s Friday Night Fights against Gary “THE PITBULL” Gomez from the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago.

Speaking from the champ’s pizza joint, USS CUNNINGHAM PIZZA, formerly Lucky’s, in West Philly, Cunningham spoke candidly about Adamek.

“I was ringside in Chicago for his second fight with Paul Briggs and I know he can really fight. He was the world champ at 175 and he really proved himself to me that night. He’s my mandatory and I want to fight him as soon as possible.”

In regards to Adamek’s most recent win over O’Neil Bell which earned him the #1 mandatory position, Cunningham stated, “Adamek did what he wanted and took care of business but it seemed to me like Bell just wasn’t in the fight, mentally.”

The Adamek/Gomez fight will be Adamek’s third battle in Chicago. Said Cunningham about possibly fighting in Chicago, home to over 1,000,000 Polish Americans, “That’s fine with me. I know he has a lot of Polish fans there, but there are a lot of fight fans in Chicago that would be a looking for a great championship bout. I think it’s a perfect place for the fight to take place. I think it would really help build a strong fan base for the cruiserweight division in America.

The Polish fans were terrific to me when I fought in Poland so I have no problem fighting in front of them again. The ring is the same anywhere we fight.”

With Adamek fighting on Friday night in Chicago, Cunningham half joked, “Tell him to stick around and we can do this Saturday night.”

About his immediate plans, Cunningham said, “Just staying busy with the pizza joint. A lot of the guys are coming by on Friday night to watch Adamek’s fight so sales should be pretty good. The more the merrier, we can make plenty of pizzas, no reservations necessary, bring a friend,” laughed the champ.

Advance tickets to THE RETURN OF THE POLISH WARRIOR, presented by Kathy Duva’s Main Events and Dominic Pesoli’s 8 Count Productions, HOME OF THE BEST IN CHICAGO BOXING, can be obtained through Ticketmaster (www.ticketmaster.com or 312-559-1212)

or by calling 312-226-5800.

The Aragon Ballroom is located at 1106 W. Lawrence Ave., adjacent to the corner of Broadway and Lawrence. Doors for this event will open at 6:30pm with the first bell at 7:15pm.

Why Floyd Mayweather and Winky Wright are wrong in their claims that HBO Boxing is racist

Posted on | July 9, 2008 | 1 Comment

By: Matt Yanofsky

Floyd Mayweather and Winky Wright are both future hall of famers because of their success in the ring. However, their claims that HBO’s broadcasters are racist against black fighters are false. Mayweather and Wright should be ashamed for making such remarks about the top network for boxing, which both of them had plenty of appearances on. While Mayweather and Wright are both great fighters, neither have a valid case that HBO’s choice of which fighters they air as well as their comments about certain fighters are racially motivated.

On the contrary to Mayweather’s and Wright’s statements, HBO has aired and praised plenty of black fighters over the years. Five of Andre Berto’s fights since 2006, with none of them coming against top tier opposition have been aired by the network. Former undisputed middleweight champion Jermain Taylor has been fighting exclusively (including HBO PPV) for them since 2004 and is scheduled to have his next bout there, even after losing his last two contests. Prior to that, the network helped build the career of boxing legend Roy Jones Jr and aired numerous Bernard Hopkins fights, regardless of how painful Hopkins’ style was to watch. In addition to those fighters being fixtures on the network, HBO has aired WBC heavyweight champion Samuel Peter, IBF light heavyweight champion Antonio Tarver, former champions Glen Johnson, Kassim Ouma, Zab Judah (who will fight on HBO August 2nd vs Joshua Clottey) and Cory Spinks (who is as brutally boring of a fighter as they come) multiple times over the last few years.

The real problem at hand with Mayweather and Wright may be jealousy as well as personality issues. “They talk about Kelly Pavlik, a white fighter, like he’s the second coming. Or they go crazy over Manny Pacquiao. But I’m a black fighter”. “Is it racial? Absolutely. They praise white fighters; they praise Hispanic fighters, whatever. But black fighters, they never praise”, Mayweather said recently when he made his claim of HBO’s racism. The reason HBO praises Pacquiao and Pavlik so highly is because they bring two things to the airwaves Mayweather didn’t, excitement and class.

Pacquiao and Pavlik are each heavy handed fighters who are always in entertaining scraps. Most of Mayweather as well as Wright’s fights have been snoozers in fact, only two of Wright’s fights since 1999 have ended via knockout, while the Pretty Boy’s last 5 bouts weren’t exactly fight of the year material. While neither fighter is currently as well known nationally as Mayweather, Pacquiao has been a major star over the last few years and Pavlik is quickly becoming the face of boxing in America. Although Pavlik is rapidly raising in popularity as well as on pound for pound lists, he has not let that blow his head up the same way it did to well, Floyd Mayweather.

Winky Wright’s case is a little different then that of Mayweather’s. Wright as I previously mentioned is a sure shot hall of famer however, that doesn’t mean there is a major public demand to see him fight. Following his dreadfully boring July 2007 loss to Bernard Hopkins, Wright has priced himself out of a ton of fights, including a date with Kelly Pavlik, which he would have had a decent shot of winning. Prior to that in 2006, Wright demanded a 50-50 split or $5 million purse in order for him to go forward with a rematch of his draw with then middleweight kingpin Jermain Taylor. Aside from it being nearly impossible to get an even split with a champion to begin with, Wright’s case was even tougher due to the fact that Jermain was the one who filled up the arena in Memphis for their June 2006 contest, not Wright.

This past March, I met Kelly Pavlik at a press conference in New York and he took the time to speak with all members of the media. Kelly was extremely friendly and gave genuine answers to his questions while having a smile on his face. Pavlik is praised and has been a quick success because is a humble superstar who flashes his power punching and personality, not his platinum jewelry or stack of $100 bills. In fact, Pavlik still lives in the same city he grew up in of Youngstown, Ohio and is still a member of that tight knit community where he is beloved.

Manny Pacquiao is a national hero in his home country of the Philippines and has given back to his loyal fans instead of thinking he is too good for them. Even at a time where the country is struggling and there is a ton of more money to be made elsewhere due to ticket prices and casinos paying hefty site fees, Pacquiao has fought twice in the Philippines since 2004. During those two fights just about everything in the country literarily stopped operating to watch him as he battled 3K Battery in 2004 and Oscar Larios in 2006. People who didn’t even have money for tickets traveled from around the country just to greet their beloved icon as he walked into the arena.

In the era where boxing on over the air television is non existent, HBO has dominated the business by hosting the best fights as well as having some of the best broadcasters around. Before Mayweather and Winky think they are “Wright” (right), they should look at all the facts and not let their jealousy of other fighters appraisal lead to them making further foolish statements.

McGirt headlines first ESPN show vs. Joval on July 25 in Saratoga

Posted on | July 9, 2008 | No Comments

VERO BEACH, Florida (July 8, 2008) – Coming off of his first pro loss, James McGirt, Jr. (18-1, 9 KOs) very well could have settled on his next opponent being a confidence builder. However, instead of fighting somebody brought in to lose and make James look good, Team McGirt jumped at the opportunity to fight former IBO and WBU middleweight champion Raymond “Hallelujah” Joval (37-4, 16 KOs) in the 10-round main event on the July 25th ESPN Friday Night Fights show at Saratoga Springs, New York.

Back on April 11, Carlos “Baby Sugar” DeLeon, Jr. (20-2-2, 12 KOs), like James another son of a former world champion, stopped McGirt in the seventh round of their nationally televised fight. McGirt had floored DeLeon at the end of the preceding round but he got careless going for a knockout.

“I learned that I have to be focused at all times,” McGirt said of his last fight. “I started lollygagging and got caught with a shot. When they offered Joval, I said let’s take it. My first loss was a bad experience. I was depressed for a couple of weeks to the point where I didn’t want to talk to anybody. But this is what I love to do and I’ve put that loss behind me. It can happen (loss). A lot of fighters think it can’t happen to them but it can.

“Raymond is a very good fighter with a lot of skills. I watched him fight years ago. He has a lot of experience, which he’ll try and use to his benefit against me. I have to use my speed and stay one step ahead of him. I’m very excited to be fighting in my first ESPN main event. I know I am going to be world champion. In this fight I will prove to the world that my last fight was a fluke.”

Joval, who fought in the 1992 Olympics representing The Neatherlands, has beaten the likes of Sam Solivan, Willie Gibbs, and Shannon Taylor. He’s won four in a row since losing a 10-round decision to Fernando Vargas in 2005.

James head trainer and father, 2-time world champion “Buddy,” agreed 100-percent for with the decision for James to fight Joval instead of a walk-over type opponent. “I think with a lesser guy,” Buddy explained, “my son wouldn’t be as motivated. He has to have a fire under him. He needs to prove himself against a more experienced guy like Joval, who is smart and cagey. My son will be more focused against him, a better guy and more of a threat. My first loss (in his 30th fight against Frankie Warren) was devastating and people thought I was crazy coming right back against a former world champ, Saoul Mamby, a better guy than the one who had beaten me. I think Joval is better than DeLeon, who is a puncher; if James didn’t make stupid mistakes, he wins that fight. Everything happens for a reason and James is much more serious now.”

James will also drop down to middleweight – although this fight is contracted at 163 lbs. — after fighting as a super middleweight his last few bouts. Buddy added, “James said, ‘Dad, I’m a small super middleweight and some of these guys are too strong for me.’ Even before his last fight we decided that he was making the move back to middleweight. He weighed in at 166 for his last fight and he didn’t do anything the last few days leading up to the fight. He is on the right program and 163 won’t be a problem. Naturally, Father Time will take its course and eventually James will be a super middleweight. By the, though, he’ll be ranked and will be able to make decisions about fighting as middleweight or super middleweight.”

Responding from adversity is all part of the maturation process for prize fighters such as James. Another sign of maturity is making sound career decisions and that’s what Team McGirt believes is happening now. “We talked about it but we decided not to take the easy way out,” McGirt’s manager Dennis Witherow spoke about fighting Joval on ESPN. We wanted a fight to get us going again. We didn’t think twice about taking on a good fighter and the exposure James will get from fighting Joval on national television.”

The marketing of James McGirt, Jr. may have taken a bump, but just about every fighter suffers defeat, and one loss doesn’t end a promising career. How a fighter reacts to adversity ultimately separates contenders from pretenders and Team McGirt chose to go all in rather than fold.

GRANT TO BATTLE KING THIS FRIDAY AT THE NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY IN PHILADELPHIA

Posted on | July 9, 2008 | No Comments

PHILADELPHIA (JULY 8, 2008)—Boxing returns to the National Guard Armory on Roosevelt Blvd. in Northeast Philadelphia as Southern Starr Promotions presents a huge night of boxing that is headlined by the continued comeback of former world Heavyweight title challenger, Michael Grant taking on upset specialist Demetrice King in a bout scheduled for eight rounds.

The thirty-five year old Grant, 43-3 with thirty-three knockouts of Blue Bell, PA was once hailed the future of the Heavyweight division until he ran until he was stopped in two rounds to the legendary Lennox Lewis in 2000. He then lost his next bout to Jameel McCline and racked up seven straight knockouts before being stopped in seven rounds by Dominick Guinn in 2003.

Since then Grant has won five consecutive fights, which includes a seventh round stoppage over Kevin Montiy last September 5th.

Despite being just twenty-three years old, King has already fought the whose- who of the Heavyweight division. Weather it’s a title contender such as Shannon Briggs or a rising prospect such as Chazz Witherspoon, Jason Estrada or Kevin Johnson, King will fight anyone at anytime.

After being thrown to the wolves, the native of Flint, Michigan had a record of 9-15. King got two knockout wins over non-descript opposition before upsetting the highly regarded undefeated Don King Promoted Bermane Stiverne. King has scored two knockouts since then to up his record to 14-15 with twelve knockouts.

The co-feature is an eight round Jr. Middleweight bout between Troy Browning and Clarence “Sonny Bono” Taylor.

Browning of Willingboro, New Jersey has a record of 20-2-1 with eight knockouts and is itching to get back in the win column after dropping his last two bouts. He started his career off with a record of 20-0-1 before losing decisions to Delvin Rodriguez and most recently to Pawel Wolak.

Taylor, of Wilmington, Delaware has a record of 13-16-1 with six knockouts. Taylor has been in the ring with quality opposition such as Vanes Martirosyian and former world champion Bronco McKart. He is coming off ten round unanimous decision defeat to Willie Lee.

A third eight-round affair will feature former World title challenger Ross Thompson, 26-12-2 with sixteen knockouts taking on Jameel “Black Gold” Wilson, 13-13-3 with eight knockouts in a Super Middleweight affair.

The card will be rounded out by William Davis making his pro debut against Devon Ellis (0-1) in a four round Super Featherweight bout.

The son of former Heavyweight champion Tim Witherspoon, Tim Witherspoon Jr. (0-1) takes on Juvair Dennis (1-1, 1 KO) in a Lightweight bout.

Debuting Heavyweight, Tanzee Daniel battles Tiffany Woodward (1-0)

Tickets for this fine evening of boxing are available and range in prices of $75 for VIP, $60 for Ringside and $30 for General Admission and can be purchased by calling 609-2029278 or 856-351-0011
