Posted on | September 11, 2010 | No Comments
Mark Cuban, Joe Rogan and Jason “Mayhem” Miller turn up the volume to help HDNet Celebrated the 3rd Anniversary of “Inside MMA” – Friday, September 10 at 9:00 p.m. ET
DALLAS (September 10, 2010) HDNet’s “Inside MMA” may have had its wildest show yet – celebrating its 3rd anniversary – as Kenny Rice and Bas Rutten are joined by an all-star panel featuring Jason “Mayhem” Miller, HDNet Chairman and Co-Founder Mark Cuban, and UFC announcer Joe Rogan.
Cuban, who is making his first panel appearance on “Inside MMA” will deliver some exciting news that MMA fans won’t want to miss. In addition, Mark discusses his current relationship with UFC President Dana White.
And, in Part Two of an exclusive interview, MMA’s most vocal opponent, New York Assemblyman Bob Reilly compares MMA to dog fighting and prostitution. In the passionate discussion that ensues, Cuban shares his own past communications with Reilly about the legalization of MMA in NY, while Rogan expresses his outrage at Reilly’s comments.
Then, “Mayhem” Miller talks about his upcoming bout on HDNet with Kazushi Sakuraba at DREAM 16. He acknowledged that his opponent is a legend, but promises he is still going to “beat his ass.” Rogan weighs in on the fight and talks about where Sakuraba ranks in MMA history.
Rogan and Miller also talk about how HDNet has transformed their long time passion for K-1 from watching grainy YouTube videos years ago, to live high definition, late night broadcasts from Japan.
Plus Ron Kruck’s “Inside America’s Gyms” series continues with a look at Greg Jackson’s gym in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
An emotionally charged preview clip from this must-see third anniversary special is available at the following link:

Barrett-Alexander, McAleese- Noble Official Weights And Quotes
Posted on | September 11, 2010 | No Comments
For Immediate Release
London – 10th September 2010
Barrett-Alexander, McAleese- Noble Official Weights And Quotes
The official weigh in, for Saturday’s Steve Goodwin promoted ‘It’s Personal’ double title event at York Hall – featuring former English Super Featherweight Champion Ryan Barrett against , took place at the Ultrachem TKO Gym in Canning Town, London today.
International Masters Lightweight Title
Ryan Barrett – 9st 9lbs
Mark Alexander – 9st 8lbs 2oz
British Masters Light Middleweight Title
Pat McAleese – 10st 13lbs 12oz
Lee Noble – 11st 0lbs (initial weight 11st 1lb 8oz – second weigh in after 30 minutes on weight)
Following the weigh in some of the protagonists took the time to make their final comments, surprisingly neither Barrett or Alexander continued the fiery war of words.
Ryan Barrett simply said “All the talking’s been done, I’m happy, weight’s bang on 9.9.”
Following his weight check Mark ‘The Flash’ Alexander also kept it short saying “Just under (weight limit) like I knew i’d be. I done the weight and I’m ready to go and get this title tomorrow. I’m gonna carb up now and then I’m ready to go.”
Whilst opponent Lee Noble sweated off the pound and half excess ‘Phat’ Pat McAleese also made a simple statement “I came in more or less spot on the weight. I can’t wait, I’m ready to Rock and Roll now. I’m ready”
Final word on the highly exciting event goes to promoter Steve Goodwin who said, “This is the first dual title fight we have had. We had a title fight in April, but this is the first time we have had two title fights on the same night and we’re really looking forward to it.
It’s going well, we’ve only had one fight drop out, so we’ve got ten decent fights. Two ten rounders, a six rounder and some up and coming prospects. To be honest it’s the best bill we’ve had so far.
It looks like a big success. We’ve sold out of standard tickets. We’ve got some ringside left, apart from that we’re sold out.
It’s going to be a really good night and a great atmosphere for everybody.”
Ryan Barrett versus Mark ‘The Flash’ Alexander, for the vacant International Masters Lightweight title will co-headline with ‘Phat’ Pat McAleese versus Lee Noble for the British Masters Light Middleweight title at the Goodwin Promotions ‘It’s Personal’ event at York Hall, Bethnal Green, London on Saturday the 11th September 2010.

Jim Brown Takes Action, Tickets for Kids can Benefit National Duals
Posted on | September 11, 2010 | No Comments
Long time blog readers know that it is named after where I have watched much of the wrestling I’ve seen over the past 20+ years – Section GG, Row 12, Seats 1 & 2 in Carver Hawkeye Arena. When I started the blog it was meant to reflect the opinions of a fan sitting on the sidelines. Other than middle school intramurals, I never wrestled. Neither my brothers nor my daughters, nor any other member of my family wrestled. I have no official ties to wrestling in any way. I AM JUST A FAN.
The past few years it’s been hard sitting on the sidelines and watching what is happening to this great sport we all love, so a couple of years ago I started to act. My thoughts at the time were, “It might be meaningless, but let’s see if one fan can have any impact at all.” I started small and bought a few tickets to the NWCA All Star Classic when it was in Oregon. I sent them off to Rick Stewart and asked him to find some kids out there to give them to.
Later that season I stretched a little and bought 20 – 30 tickets for every Hawkeye home dual meet and gave them away to kid’s wrestling clubs or middle school teams. My logic was fairly simple – kids need idols. If I could get youngsters just starting in the sport to see the best college wrestlers in America, perhaps they would see something that would cause them to hang with it.
Last year I launched Tickets for Kids. My goal was to raise enough money to send 1,000 kids to a morning session of the NCAA Division III Wrestling Championships in Cedar Rapids. I didn’t make my goal, but, thanks to many of you, over 600 kids got to see some very exciting college wrestling. I’ve heard from coaches and kids since then and I think we, in some small part, accomplished what we’d hoped for.
I own and operate a small business and after last spring I wondered if I should continue with Tickets for Kids. I sent out surveys to some of the larger donors and asked them if they would continue to support the effort. Most said they would. But still, I couldn’t decide. It’s more work than I had imagined.
Then last Thursday, Eric Betterman, the co-founder of theopenmat.com, threw out a challenge – “Let’s make it a goal to sell out every single (Division I) dual meet in the nation.” He pointed out that we didn’t actually need to attend if that was physically impossible – just buy them. I drew upon my experience and followed that with a challenge of my own, “Which fans of which school could raise enough money to buy enough tickets to send at least 20 kids to a dual meet at their favorite school first?” Then I called upon Hawkeye fans to bail my butt out after shooting off my mouth. They did. In three days I received enough pledges to send over 160 kids to Hawkeye dual meets. One Nebraska fan committed to sending 20 youngsters to a Cornhusker meet – and no one else responded. Apparently, they all prefer to sit on the sidelines as the “world’s oldest and greatest sport” is assaulted from multiple directions.
That flurry of activity answered the question – Tickets for Kids must continue.
Every survey respondent asked that we expand the scope – that we offer a greater variety of wrestling events for kids to attend. We’re doing that. Donations will be used to provide tickets for the NWCA National Duals, the Division III Championships in La Crosse, the NAIA Championships in Cedar Rapids and any college dual meet you select. If you have another event you wish to support email me.
I’m going to run two campaigns, the “Preseason Fan Challenge” and the “Championship Run”. The Preseason Fan Challenge starts today and runs to November 30. The basic premise is simple: which school’s fans will best support wrestling by sending kids to wrestling events. We’ll have five divisions and crown both divisional and an overall champion.
NCAA Division I
NCAA Division II
NCAA Division III
NAIA
Women’s
I still don’t have PayPal and can’t take credit card donations, but we’re working on it Please make your check to “Tickets for Kids” and send it to
Tickets for Kids
c/o Jim Brown
130 24th St NE
Cedar Rapids, IA 52402-4936
or email a pledge to me at jim@dmsolutions4u.com and I’ll send you a reminder as we get closer to the season (which can’t get here soon enough).
Please include the name of the school you want your donation credited to and the event you want to support. If you want to support an endangered program like Cal State Fullerton, but you are a Minnesota fan – I’ll credit your donation to the Gophers, but send tickets to some California kids who can attend a Titan dual meet. Once the tickets have been distributed I will send each donor a copy of the ticket purchase receipt and the name of the club leader or coach whose kids got the tickets.
In the interest of fairness, the Hawkeye and Cornhusker fans will start even with everyone else.
If you like the concept and want to join in the challenge – but don’t want to do it through Tickets for Kids – you can. Buy enough tickets to send at least 20 kids to an event, send me a copy of the ticket purchase receipt and the name of the club leader or coach whose kids got the tickets and I’ll credit your school with the donation.
Reminder: NCAA rules will not allow you to give tickets to high school wrestlers so focus on the elementary and middle schoolers.
If you really want your school to win, you’re going to have to get off of the sidelines. Email your friends and alumni and the people that sit next to you at wrestling meets. Post a link to this blog on your favorite team’s sites. Rally your fans on facebook. Let’s send 10,000 kids from all over the country to college wrestling events.
Here’s the real challenge. I’m almost certain that Hawkeye fans will win this in a cake walk. Which one of you is going to get mad enough to prove me wrong?
Or – you can remain on the sidelines and do nothing.

CURTIS “SHOWTIME” STEVENS HEADLINES HAVOC BOXING ON SATURDAY NOVEMBER 20TH IN BROOKLYN
Posted on | September 11, 2010 | No Comments
Brooklyn favorites Curtis Stevens, Will Rosinsky, Sadam Ali and Joselito Collado will be featured on November 20th at The Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn
BROOKLYN, NY (September 10, 201O)—Fresh off one of the best boxing shows of 2010, Havoc Boxing Promotions will return to the Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn that will feature world ranked Super Middleweight, Curtis “Showtime” Stevens in the ten round main event.
Bouts featuring Undefeated Light Heavyweight Will Rosinsky, undefeated Welterweight and former U.S. Olympian Sadam Ali as well as undefeated Featherweight Joselito Collado will serve as the co-features on the loaded card.
Stevens, of the boxing hotbed of the Brownsville section of Brooklyn is one of the most feared punchers in the Super Middleweight division and has a record of 21-3 with fifteen knockouts.
Stevens started out his career as one of the most ballyhooed prospects in boxing as he racked up thirteen straight victories with eleven knockouts. After suffering a controversial stoppage defeat to veteran Marcos Primera, Stevens scored a eight round unanimous decision in the rematch that took place four months later.
After winning four consecutive bouts, Stevens dropped a ten round unanimous decision to former U.S. Olympian Andre Dirrell in a bout that was shown on HBO.
Stevens went on to win four consecutive bouts which included a three round pounding over then undefeated Piotr Wilczewski (22-0) in front of predominantly Polish crowd in Newark, New Jersey.
In Stevens last bout, he came out strong before dropping a twelve round unanimous decision to former member of the Contender Jesse Brinkley (34-5) in an IBF title elimination bout on January 29 in Brinkley’s hometown of Reno, Nevada.
Uundefeated Light Heavyweight Will Rosinsky will see action an eight round bout against Miguel Hernandez.
Rosinsky has a record of 12-0 with seven knockouts and has quickly become one of the most popular fighters in the New York area.
The native of Brooklyn has developed a string fan base as he has fought eleven of his twelve pro bouts in New York and has been steadily stepping up the competition.
In his last bout, Rosinsky made his second appearance at the famed Madison Square Garden and stopped Angel David Gonzalez in three rounds as part of the Ivan Calderon – Jesus Iribe undercard that took place on June 12th.
Ali of Brooklyn, New York is fast becoming one of the best prospects in the United States as the twenty-one year old has improved in each bout and is growing into his power.
After winning his first seven bouts and only three by knockout, Ali has stepped the competition and has shown tremendous punching prowess in disposing tough Philadelphia fighter Julias Edmonds on July 16th in Newark, New Jersey.
In his last bout, Ali had his most impressive outing to date has he stopped iron chinned Lennin Arroyo in five rounds on August 21st as part of the Tomasz Adamek – Michael Grant Pay Per View Undercard
Collado of Queens, New York has quietly racked up eleven straight wins with three knockouts to begin his pro career.
The Featherweight has some nice wins on his ledger which includes his first round destruction of Philadelphia prospect Jules Blackwell (8-2-2) and his last outing when he outboxed upset specialist Andreas Ledesma on August 7th at The Aviator Sports Complex.
A terrific undercard is being assembled that will include welterweight Anthony Irons (3-0-1, 2 KO’s) of the Bronx; Light Heavyweight Seanie Monaghan (2-0, 2 KO’s); Lightweight Michael Brooks (1-0, 1 KO)of Long Island, NY; Lightweight Shemuel Pagan (1-0) of Brooklyn, NY; and Ex Army Lieutenant Boyd Melson will make his pro debut in a four round Jr. Welterweight bout.

The Prizefighter Podcast with Steve Bunce now available
Posted on | September 11, 2010 | No Comments
First episode on iTunes with exclusive interview with Evander Holyfield plus Eddie Hearn on Harrison v Haye
The first episode of The Prizefighter Podcast with Steve Bunce is now available to download for free at iTunes, with exclusive interviews with Evander Holyfield and Eddie Hearn part of the show.
The brand new podcast is a new feature for Prizefighter as Barry Hearn’s hugely successful eight-man, one night tournaments enters its third series with the Heavyweights IV on Saturday 9 October – the 14th edition of the event.
Bunce was present at the draw for Prizefighter Heavyweights IV which was conducted by five-time World Heavyweight Champion Evander Holyfield, who spoke to Steve at length about his career. Holyfield also presented Prizefighter Super-Middleweights winner Patrick Mendy with a trophy following his victory earlier in the year and 19 year-old Mendy – along with his trainer Jim Evans – spoke to Bunce about the effect that being the youngest winner of the event has had on his career.
Eddie Hearn speaks candidly about the forthcoming World Heavyweight title fight between the last Prizefighter Heavyweight champion Audley Harrison, who Hearn promotes, and David Haye. Harrison is also the subject of a special competition where one listener can win a pair of ringside seats at York Hall, Bethnal Green for the action on October 9.
The Podcast can be downloaded on iTunes via the link on the homepage of the official Prizefighter website: http://www.prizefighter.co.uk/home.htm
Old rivals Matt Skelton and Michael Sprott could meet in the semi-finals of Prizefighter Heavyweights IV, potentially giving Sprott the chance to avenge two defeats against the former English, British European and Commonwealth champion Skelton – with Sprott returning to the ring for the first time since his last gasp knockout defeat to Audley Harrison in their European title bout in April.
Sprott faces Danny Hughes in the third quarter-final of the night, the Sunderland fighter who fought in the last Heavyweights outing, knocking out Neil Perkins in the quarter-finals before losing to Harrison in the semis. Skelton must get past Ali Adams in order to reach the semi-final with the London-based Adams unbeaten in his last nine fights with eight wins.
In the opening bout of the night, Irishman Kevin McBride – famous for being the last man to beat Mike Tyson – take on Manchester’s Michael Holden, the former British champion who has scores to settle with both Sprott and Skelton after losing to the pair earlier in his career.
The winner of that fight will face the winner of the second fight of the night as Carl Baker, the man who defeated Danny Williams in Prizefighter Heavyweights III faces the Wildcard fighter – a spot that will be filled soon, with a series of big names in line to take it.
PRIZEFIGHTER HEAVYWEIGHTS IV DRAW
Michael Holden v Kevin McBride
Wildcard v Carl Baker
Michael Sprott v Danny Hughes
Matt Skelton v Ali Adams
Tickets for Prizefighter Heavyweights IV are available now at £35 (unreserved), £60 (ringside) and £100 (VIP) – call Matchroom Sport on 01277 359900.
