Cole Miller: Teammate, Tri-Athlete, Ultimate Fighter
Posted on | July 3, 2008 | No Comments
By: Matthew Brothers
Preparing for his fight against Jorge Gurgel at UFC 86 this weekend, Cole Miller has been busy. On top of his regular training sessions at American Top Team in Coconut Creek, Florida, which with teammates like Thiago Alves, Thiago Silva, and Marcus Aurelio can be anything but “regular”, Miller has been supplementing his personal training by participating in a half Ironman triathlon, which he completed on May 31st.
While millions of Americans were getting their first dose of MMA on live network TV, Cole Miller was busy trying to rehydrate himself after losing 10lbs. of water weight under the sizzling Georgia sun.
A 13.1 mile run, 1.2 miles of swimming, and 56 miles of cycling is what Miller endured and accomplished in only 8 hours to be branded a “half iron man.” While many would happily hang their hat on such a feat, Miller isn’t happy with being “half” of anything. He plans to compete in a full iron man triathlon next year, when he can dedicate more time to the ridiculously intense cardiovascular training that is required for such an undertaking. As if training with arguably the most insanely talented teammates in MMA wasn’t intense enough.
Many see iron man triathlons like these as bordering on masochistic, however; Cole Miller has a different outlook, “if I can pace myself over 8 hours and 70 miles, I shouldn’t be worried about gassing out during 3 5-minute rounds in the cage. Pushing myself to these extremes gives me a physical and mental advantage.”
Completing a triathlon may be an impressive accomplishment, but Jorge Gurgel would be quick to remind Miller that bicycles don’t punch you in the face, and that it’s easy to run when nobody is choking you. The two lightweight “Ultimate Fighter” alumni will clash in just under 3 weeks in a fight Miller says “will be all over the place.”
While Gurgel is coming off of a decision victory over John Halverson, Miller will be stepping into the octagon fresh off of a loss to Jeremy Stephens in a match where he was dominating until the end of the second round, when Stephens was able to land several unanswered punches and elbows, forcing referee Steve Mazzagatti to end the bout. “I just couldn’t get fired up for that fight, I was kind of lackadaisical, definitely a bad day at the office. In the Gurgel fight, I’m going to disregard the time, the judges, the takedowns, and everything. I’m going to get the scrapping in, fight my fight, and represent what my style is all about, and that’s technical grappling, and technical striking. I’m thinking we’re gonna go in there and fight for the full 15 minutes.”
Miller is a long and lean lightweight, standing 6’2” tall and having a 73” reach. He will have a clear size advantage over the 5’9” Gurgel, but is ready for Jorge to be willing to eat a few punches on the way to landing one of his own. Naturally, reach will be a major factor in the fight, and will make striking for Gurgel and his shorter limbs dangerous, possibly forcing the Ohio based Brazilian, and teammate of Rich Franklin to take the fight to the ground. Miller is ready for that as well. Against Stephens, Miller showed his grappling prowess by utilizing a heel hook, inverted reverse triangle, getting a half-guard sweep, and locking in a d’arce choke that nearly ended the fight in the Miller-dominated first round.
During his time on “TUF”, Miller had two exhibition fights. His first match took place in the very first episode of the season. In that bout, Miller out-struck and out-classed his opponent Alan Berube, on his way to winning a decisive first round triangle choke submission victory. In his second fight he met up with East Bridgewater, Massachusetts native Joe Lauzon, a computer nerd turned ass-kicker. The fight was a back and forth battle with Lauzon eventually getting the better of Miller in the second round, however, the fight was not without controversy. Before getting finished, Miller was pinned down by Lauzon and had a crushing illegal elbow delivered to the back of his head. The ref called for break and deducted one point from Lauzon. Miller, not wanting to give up, agreed to continue with the fight, although he later admitted to seeing spots.
After the match, Lauzon apologized and Miller agreed the elbow was inadvertent. When asked if he would like to have a rematch with Joe, Miller says, “Not really, I wouldn’t mind another fight with Lauzon, but I’m not really trying to call him out right now. Really, I just want a rematch with Jeremy Stephens. I don’t really think that I gave him my best, and I’d really like to at least give that to him. I know I can beat that guy.”
As a native of the peach state of Georgia, Miller expressed his desire to fight on the freshly announced UFC 88 card, which will be taking place at the Phillips Arena in Atlanta on September 6th, headlined by the second attempt of a Chuck Liddell/Rashad Evans main event. “I would die to fight in Georgia in front of my hometown fans, I’d be shits and giggles right there. If I could fight on that card I would be ecstatic. If I just kick Jorge hard enough I could break my foot, so it’s cutting it pretty close. If I can get out of this fight with no cuts, no sprains, no broken bones, than I’d kill for the chance to fight in Atlanta and rematch Jeremy Stephens.”
Before he gets his rematch with Stephens, or the opportunity to fight in front of his hometown fans, Miller knows he must first get through the challenge that is Jorge Gurgel. On July 5, Miller has the chance to do just that, and solidify himself not just as a reality television athlete, but as an ultimate fighting ironman.

PACMAN KEEPS GOBBLING UP THE COMPETITION
Posted on | July 3, 2008 | No Comments
BOXING PRESS EXCLUSIVE
By: Greg Goodrich
(BP) – Manny Pacquiao (47-3-2) won his fifth world title in as many weight classes this past Saturday night when he defeated David Diaz (34-2-1) for the WBC Lightweight title. Pacquiao’s 9th round technical knockout places him in elite standing among boxing’s greatest fighters of all time. Pacquiao is now tied with Thomas Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. as boxing’s only five-title, five-weight class champions. Oscar de la Hoya currently holds the record with six. Most amazing is that Pacquaio skipped the Junior Bantamweight and Bantamweight divisions.
Manny Pacquiao first won the WBC Flyweight title by defeating Chatchai Sasakul (KO8). He made one successful title defense before he lost to Medgoen Singsurat in an upset loss (KO by 3). After moving up three weight classes, Pacquiao claimed a marginal and regional WBC title. He next defeated Lehlohonolo Ledwaba (TKO 6) for the IBF Junior Featherweight title- his second, major sanctioning body belt. After failing to claim the WBO Junior Featherweight title in a unification bout with Agapito Sanchez (TD 6), he made a total of four successful defenses, and moved up in weight again.
Pacquiao claimed his third weight class belt when he defeated Ring World Featherweight champion Marco Antonio Barrera (TKO 11). In his next bout, Pacquiao failed to win a unification bout against WBA, IBF Featherweight titlist Juan Manual Marquez (D 12). Pacquiao dropped Marquez three times in the first round, yet was the recipient of a split draw. Official scorecards of 115-110 Pacquiao; 115-110 Marquez: and 113-113 left even the most ardent boxing fan puzzled. A scoring error deprived Pacquiao of a split decision victory. Some writers continue to purport to this very day that Marquez won ten out of twelve rounds (the way Guy Jutras tabulated his 115-110 score for Marquez). Needless to say, Pacquiao was the uncrowned the Undisputed Featherweight champion of the world.
Pacquiao next fought an IBF Featherweight eliminator bout with Fahsan 3K Battery (TKO 4). Rather than face Marquez, Pacquaio moved up in weight again. He lost an IBA Junior Lightweight title bout with Erik Morales (L12). Six consecutive fights for the WBC Intercontinental Junior Lightweight title saw Pacquiao defeat Hector Velazquez (TKO 6), Erik Morales (TKO 10; KO 3), Oscar Larios (W12), Jorge Solis (KO 8) and a rematch victory over Marco Antonio Barrera (W12). Pacquaio next claimed the World WBC Junior Lightweight title with a rematch victory over Marquez.
Saturday’s impressive victory over Diaz for the WBC Lightweight title (TKO 9) pitted Pacquiao versus a Mexican fighter in his ninth consecutive bout, earning him his eleventh victory against one loss and one draw (beating Gabriel Mira, Emmanuel Lucero, Marco Antonio Barrera twice, Juan Manual Marquez, Erik Morales twice, Hector Velazquez, Oscar Larios, Jorge Solis and David Diaz). Thus, the legend of the Mexican Assassin continues! Rumor has it that Pacquiao will finally break his streak, and met Venezuelan Edwin Valero (former WBA Junior Lightweight titlist) this November.
For sake of fairness- and in the spirit of political correctness which I equally despise and ridicule- Pacman should also be known as the Asian Assassin since he has beaten 21 Philippine fighters; 7 Thai fighters; 2 Indonesian fighters; 2 South Korean fighters and 1 North Korean fighter! Heck, he’s even beaten 2 Australian fighters, 1 Japanese fighter, 1 Columbian fighter and 1 South African fighter. Were it not for his draw with Dominican Republic champion Agapito Sanchez, we might be calling Pacquiao the World Continent Assassin. All kidding aside, since that Adam Jones of the Dallas Cowboys has forfeited the formerly cool Japanese Namco video game and moniker ‘Pac Man’, Pacquiao can be called any of the above. Now that Floyd Mayweather, Jr. has retired from boxing, Boxing Press has crowned Manny Pacquiao ‘Boxing’s Pound-for-Pound Champion’.
It should be pointed out that not all of my esteemed colleagues and fellow journalists agree that Manny Pacquiao is now a five-title, five-weight class champion. They will point out the fact Manny did not officially win a WBA, WBC, IBF or WBO title when he defeated Marco Antonio Barrera for the Ring Magazine World Featherweight title. Others have tried to minimize the actual significance of Pacquiao’s accomplishment, saying silly things such as he didn’t beat Mark Johnson (IBF, World Flyweight Champion in 1998); Oscar Larios (WBC, World Junior Lightweight Champion in 2001): or Joel Casamayor (Ring World Lightweight Champion in 2008).
Pacquiao beat the second best titlist at Flyweight in Sasakul. He later defeated Larios in a head to head bout in 2006. He did defeat the World Featherweight champion in Barrera, and should have a decision victory over Marquez at that same weight. Pacquaio defeated the World Junior Lightweight Champion Marquez in 2008, in addition to wiping the division of the remaining best fighters: Barrera and Morales. Casamayor claimed his ‘world title’ in defeating Diego Corrales (in 2006) and unofficially lost his first title defense bout against Jose Armando Santa Cruz (receiving one of the worst decisions in the history of boxing). Pacquiao beat Diaz who beat Cruz who beat Casamayor.
Joel Casamayor is not the lineal World Lightweight Champion (nor linear, which is a geometric term depicting a straight line beginning at point A thru point B to point C). The lineal argument that the Ring Magazine; ESPN: and other periodicals make is inaccurate and disingenuous. Ismael Laguna vacated the World WBC Lightweight title in 1970, forever breaking the ‘man who beat the man’ champion argument. Roberto Duran vacated the World WBC Lightweight title again in 1978. Then Alexis Arguello vacated the World WBC Lightweight title in 1983. Next Hector Camacho vacated the World WBC Lightweight title in 1987. Then Julio Cesar Chavez vacated the World WBC Lightweight title in 1989. Pernell Whitaker vacated the World WBC Lightweight title in 1992. Miguel Angel Gonzalez vacated the World WBC Lightweight title in 1996. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. most recently vacated the World WBC Lightweight title in 2004.
Don’t tell me that Joel ‘the guy who lost to the man who beat the man who didn’t even fight the man’ Casamayor is the World Lightweight Champion. He has already lost to Acelino Freitas and Diego Corrales at Junior Lightweight; and Jose Luis Castillo at Lightweight. One can make the argument that he also lost to Jose Armando Santa Cruz and was losing to Michael Katsidis before a lucky punch saved his most recent fiasco. Joel Casamayor (interim WBO belt holder) has signed to face Juan Manual Marquez (a former WBA, IBF, interim WBO Featherweight; WBC Junior Lightweight Champion) September 13th of this year. Nate Campbell (the current Undisputed WBA, IBF and WBO Lightweight Champion) is set to face Joan Guzman (former WBO Junior Featherweight and WBO Junior Lightweight Champion) also on Sept. 13th. Manny Pacquiao (the WBC Lightweight titlist) is set to defend against Edwin Valero (the former WBA Junior Lightweight titlist) on November 8th.
Had Casamayor not previously beaten Campbell in a non-title fight at Junior Lightweight in 2003, no one with a straight face could say Casamayor is the best at 135. Not since the muddled log-jam days of four undefeated titlists at Junior Lightweight (Casamayor, Corrales, Freitas and Mayweather) have we found ourselves in such a conundrum. A unification title bout series is in order. The Casamayor-Marquez winner will most likely face Pacquiao if it is Marquez and Campbell if it is Casamayor. That winner should meet- and only after he can defeat- Pacquiao to determine who the World Lightweight Champion is. Nothing short of that will settle the age old argument of who the man is.
On a final note, now that Manny Pacquiao has won five-titles in five-weight classes, he needs to be evaluated against his peers as one of the greatest Asian fighters of all time- a list that is subject to change with each passing Pacquiao victory. My current top ten is:
1. Pancho Villa (91-8-4)- former World Flyweight Champion
2. Gabriel Elorde (88-27-2)- former World WBC, WBA Junior Lightweight Champion
3. Myung Woo Yuh (38-1)- former World WBA Junior Flyweight Champion
4. Manny Pacquiao (47-3-2)- current WBC Lightweight titlist; five-weight Champion
5. Khaosai Galaxy (49-1)- former World WBA Junior Bantamweight Champion
6. Jiro Watanabe (26-2)- former World WBA, WBC Junior Bantamweight Champion
7. Jung Koo Chang (38-4)- former WBC Junior Lightweight Champion
8. Fighting Harada (55-7)- former World WBA, WBC Bantamweight Champion
9. Sot Chitalada (26-4-1)- former World WBC Flyweight Champion
10. Gerry Penalosa (53-6-2)- current WBO Bantamweight titlist; two-weight Champion
Honorable Mentions:
11. Pongsaklek Wonjongkam (67-3-1)- former World WBC Flyweight Champion
12. Veeraphol Sahaprom (61-4-2)- former World WBC Bantamweight Champion
13. Ratanapol Sor Vorapin (55-6-1)- former IBF Minimumweight Champion
14. Masamori Tokuyama (32-3-1)- former World WBC Junior Bantamweight Champion
15. Chris John (41-0-1)- present World WBA Featherweight Champion

JUAN DIAZ WANTS TO REBOUND FROM TOUGH LOSS AGAINST KATSIDIS
Posted on | July 3, 2008 | No Comments
DIAZ SEES FIGHT WITH KATSIDIS AS “DO OR DIE” FOR HIS CREDIBILITY
John Martinez
Brickityboxing.com and Ironboxing.com
(02Jul08) In a Houston gym that felt as hot and humid as the daily temperature outside was, there was a workman like volley of punches in rapid succession finding their way onto at first a speed bag and then a heavy bag.
The man responsible for the quick, rhythmic snare drum sounds on the speed bag and thudding shots to the heavy was none other than the former ruler of the lightweight division, Juan Diaz (33,1,17 KO’s).
We found Diaz in the midst of his preparations for his next assignment scheduled on September 6 at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas against the very dangerous and always entertaining fighter, Michael Katsidis (23,1, 20KO’s).
The young boxer that has already experienced success in the squared circle has taken that approach to the classroom as well. Despite having to train for a very risky opponent and in what could be a “make or break” fight for him, the former champion spent most of the morning taking his final exam in criminal justice.
Juan is coming off the experience of losing for the first time in his storied career when he saw his belts go to the current IBF and WBO lightweight champion Nate Campbell via a split decision.
Diaz said that looking back on the Campbell fight, he felt that his loss was a mixture of Nate’s skill and outside pressures leading up to the fight: especially with his very public contractual dispute with his former promoter Don King.
He said that his “ head wasn’t in the fight because of everything that Don was doing.”
“He (Don) put out 24×30 signs at the press conference saying that I stole money from him and that I was this and that and it was our last fight and it was a lot for me.”
Diaz also admitted that he didn’t expect Campbell to be so aggressive and effective as he was that night and that he failed in listening to his corner’s instruction.
“ I thought Campbell was going to come out and I would pressure him and he’d box me. But it didn’t work that way and he came right at me. I didn’t listen to my corner like I usually do either.
They kept telling me to box more and be patient, but I didn’t. They are the one’s that can see better than I can about what is going on in there. They can see it from a different angle from the outside and I’ve learned to listen from now on to Ronnie (Shields) and my corner and what they are telling me.”
Diaz sees his date with Katsidis as a “do or die” situation in regards to his boxing career.
“You know we both need a win. It’s kind of like a ‘do or die’ situation for Katsidis and myself even though we’re both great fighters. But both of us are coming off a loss and we need a win to reestablish ourselves at the lightweight division.”
“I think that a loss would set me back even more than the Campbell fight did. Another loss would take away my credibility and really hurt me.”
As we close out a year of boxing for 2008, many potentially explosive brawls are on the schedule. The Diaz/Katsidis fight is one of those fights that many believe is on the short list for possible “fight of the year”.
According to Diaz, he plans on testing the Australian puncher all night and if this is true, then this fight is a must see.
“I know that he’s (Katsidis) very aggressive. You know, a lot of these guys haven’t been taken to the limit and when we’re in that situation I’m going to test him.”
“I’m going to see if he can go toe to toe with me for twelve rounds. I know that I can go twelve.
I also know that I know how to box and that my conditioning is one of my biggest advantages too.”
“So I’m going to test him and see if he can go toe to toe for twelve rounds and if that doesn’t work, then I’ll just box him.”
With all the impending implications of the outcome in Diaz’s next fight, his demeanor was calm and focused, much like the approach that he took heading into his final exam.
Maybe that’s why he was able to ace his criminal justice test that morning as he informed me.
With one test conquered in the classroom, you can bet that the gleam in Diaz’s eye as he worked the heavy bag was also telling the on lookers that he won’t fail his test on September 6 either.
As a matter of fact, he’s doing his homework now to score another “A” that night.
