STAR STUDDED EVENT INCLUDING BOXING LEGEND JOE FRAZIER SHAPING UP FOR RED CARPET GALA FOR CHARITY
Posted on | February 9, 2010 | 1 Comment
(Philadelphia, PA) – SIZZLING, DYNAMIC, GENEROUS, PATRIOTIC, TALENTED AND BEAUTIFUL are just some of the adjectives used to describe singer/dancer/model Doreen Taylor.
That’s why former world heavyweight boxing champion, Joe Frazier, and 350 VIP’s will be in attendance for the “Coming Home-Doreen Taylor” Red Carpet event. The “Invitation- Only” gala at “Trust” in Philadelphia on February 26th will be the world launch for Doreen Taylor’s new book and CD which pay tribute to the WWII era.
“With two grandfathers that served in the U. S. military and more soldiers being deployed overseas, I felt that today’s soldiers and their families deserved some help,” stated Taylor.
Accordingly, the new project includes 19 songs, all sung by Taylor and all from the 20s, 30s, and 40s. In order to pick out the songs, Taylor admittedly sought some help. “I asked my grandmother what the songs of the day were, and we found a super studio with outstanding musicians to perform them. All I had to do was lay down my vocal tracks.”
There’s also a 32-page book, in which model Taylor strikes slightly provocative poses and dons costumes reminiscent of the pinup girls to whom WWII soldiers swooned.
A large percentage of the book/CD profits will be donated to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF), a top-rated nonprofit that supports more than 60,000 Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps special operations personnel and their families. One-hundred percent of all charitable donations from the event on Friday, February 26th will be donated directly to the cause. (www.specialops.org.)
Pennsylvania Senator Lawrence Farnese will personally present the charity with a special citation.
Doreen will perform live at the red carpet event for guests spanning the worlds of sports, politics and entertainment. Representatives are expected from numerous national and local television affiliates including, but not limited to, TMZ, FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS, etc.
Phil Andrews, current President of Sports and Entertainment for Tier1 Consultants, will emcee the extravaganza. Originally known as the long time sports anchor for 6 ABC News in Philadelphia, Andrews later took over microphone duties for Comcast Sportsnet from 2005 to 2008.
Comedian/radio personality Joe Conklin will kick off the evening’s festivities with a brief comedy routine (www.joeconklin.com). Conklin has piled up a plethora of TV credits and worked with some of the nation’s most recognized performers including Bill Cosby, Tim Allen, Rosie O’Donnell, Pat Croce, Patti LaBelle, Gayle Sayers, Dennis Miller, Ray Romano, Wayne Brady and Kenny Rogers.
Other guests include Brigadier General Richard Potter, U.S, Army (ret), reality TV star Gervase Peterson (“Survivor” season one) along with members of the Philadelphia Eagles, Phillies and Flyers.
Also in attendance will be nationally known magician Michael Turco.
Famous Attorney, James J. Binns, the former Pennsylvania Boxing Commissioner and member of the Pennsylvania Boxing Hall of Fame, has also accepted an invitation to the festivities.
Binns portrayed himself opposite Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire and Burt Young as Rocky Balboa’s lawyer in the motion picture “ROCKY V.” In addition, Mr. Binns portrayed himself opposite of Sylvester Stallone as the Pennsylvania Boxing Commissioner in the motion picture “ROCKY BALBOA.”
Music entertainment will be provided by the Craig Satchell Orchestra featuring songs from the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. There will be a silent auction of upscale entertainment and sports memorabilia as well as dream packages and once in a lifetime opportunities. There are numerous door prizes and a raffle totaling thousands of dollars.

IT WAS A KNOCKOUT WEEKEND ON GFL
Posted on | February 9, 2010 | No Comments
One of the best cards in recent Philadelphia history plus much talked about Adamek – Estrada Heavyweight clash highlights a tremendous weekend of boxing on www.gofightlive.tv
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW YORK (February 8, 2010)—This past weekend two big boxing events on the east coast took place and the action was as hot inside the ring as it was cold outside. Despite blizzard conditions, crowds in Philadelphia and Newark saw two incredible nights of boxing that started out on Friday from The Legendary Blue Horizon in Philadelphia where USBA Jr. Middleweight champion Derek “Pooh” Ennis scored a fifth round stoppage over Edwin Vazquez.
The next night in Newark, New Jersey, former Light Heavyweight and Cruiserweight champion Tomasz Adamek scored a unanimous decision victory over former U.S. Olympian Jason Estrada in Adamek’s second start as a Heavyweight. That bout was fought before an astonishing crowd of over 10,000 fans in the Prudential Center in Newark.
Both great events were streamed live and are now available on-demand on www.gofightlive.tv
VALENTINES’S DAY SPECIAL FROM THE LEGENDARY BLUE HORIZON
In the main event, USBA Jr. Middleweight champion Derek “Pooh” Ennis tuned up for a spring title defense by dropping Edwin Vazquez twice in round five with a vicious body assault to score a knockout at 1:26 of that round in their scheduled eight round non title clash.
Ennis showed tremendous hand speed and clearly worked the body behind a solid jab. Vazquez showed a lot of heart and determination as he would not only mock Ennis but try to start some offense for himself.
In round five, Ennis dropped Vazquez with a blistering left to the body and moments later he did the same thing to the other side of Vazquez’ body with the right and the fight called off.
In one of the most anticipated undercard bouts, Former World Junior Amateur champion Joey Dawejko of Philadelphia needed just forty-seven seconds to dispose of Ricardo Johnson.
Dawejko landed a perfect counter right hand that thrilled the crowd that was heavily supporting the nineteen year old from the Tacony section of town.
Dawejko is now 2-0.
Former U.S Olympic alternate, Eric “The Outlaw” drilled out former world title challenger Roberto Bonilla at the end of round one of their scheduled six round featherweight bout.
Hunter dominated the action with blazing handspeed until a left to the live put Bonilla down and out at end of the first stanza.
In the fight of the night, Jackie Davis scored a four round unanimous decision over Melisenda Perez in a ladies four round war.
The two traded shots and thrilled the crowd and the fighters received standing ovations throughout the fight.
Swedish heavyweight Andreas Gustafson moved to 4-0 with a stoppage over Levay King at the end of round two of their scheduled four round bout.
Ronald Cruz scored an impressive third round knockout over the experienced Martinus Clay in a scheduled six round bout.

ADAMEK-ESTRADA
Some are calling it controversial; some think the right decision was rendered; now you can be the judge as former Light Heavyweight and Cruiserweight champion Tomasz Adamek battled former U.S. Olympian in a an action filled Heavyweight bout that had a crowd of over 10,000 fans on the edge of their seats at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
It was a close knit battle where both combatants had their moments. But it was Adamek who gained the unanimous decision win and he may now be in position for an April 24th showdown with former world title challenger Chris Arreola.
Estrada was irate at the decision and now the fans all over the world will be able to give their opinion when they order this terrific Heavyweight scrap.
Fans can also witness a terrific three fight undercard that was headlined by undefeated New York based Middleweight, Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin make his return to the squared circle when he takes on veteran Fernando Zuniga.
Two of New Jersey’s better undefeated prospects in Middleweight Patrick Majewski and Dennis “Mamma’s Boy” Douglin were impressive in separate bouts.

Boxing’s Legends and Myths
Posted on | February 7, 2010 | No Comments
By: Patrick McElligott
While sports fans in general are unhappy that the proposed Pacquiao vs Mayweather “Super Fight” fell through, boxing fans are still being treated to two extremely interesting fights featuring Manny and Floyd this season. Although there was no need to try to build interest in these two champions facing each other, if they both win, it seems likely that they will meet by the end of 2010.
Pac Man is scheduled to fight Joshua Clottey on March 13, in Arlington, Texas. Some boxing writers have stated that this fight does not present Pacquiao with a serious challenge. In part, this is based upon each man’s last fight: Clottey lost a close decision to Miguel Cotto in June, 2009; while Manny scored an impressive TKO in 12 over Cotto five months later. However, the Clottey v Cotto fight was an intense, often “dirty” brawl, and though Pacquiao would have almost certainly defeated Cotto anyhow, it may be the Clottey
fight left him vulnerable.
The other reason some experts feel Manny is having a “tune-up” fight is because he is indeed one of history’s great champions, while Clottey has lost both of his big fights. Luckily, Pacquiao and Freddie Roach understand that “easy” fights are only easy, as the result of being 100% prepared. It would be foolish to underestimate Joshua Clottey, despite the lack of recognition or respect that some may have for this tough, talented fighter.
Clottey is almost two inches taller, and has a three inch reach advantage over Pacquiao. More, he is very large for his weight. Clottey drops a significant amount before the weigh-in, and puts pounds on between getting off the scales and stepping into the ring. Add to that his impressive hand-speed, solid defensive skills, and ability to take a punch, and he could present some serious problems for Manny.
While we expect Pacquiao to win the fight – at least by decision, and possibly by becoming the first to knock Clottey out – there are two other factors worthy of consideration. First, Clottey is, to put it politely, a rough fighter. His first loss was a DQ against Carlos Baldomir. Clottey’s head and elbows are serious weapons. He has been known to punch below the belt, in a manner that suggests he is doing so intentionally. As
intensely focused as Pacquiao is in the ring, we know from the March, 2005 loss to Erik Morales that he can be distracted by his own blood.
Second, while casual fans know Clottey primarily for his loses to Margaito and Cotto, he has some significant wins. For example, he handed two good undefeated prospects their first losses: Richard Guiterrez was 21-0, and Shamone Alvarez was 19-0 when they took on Clottey as a stepping stone to the big time. Also, he beat both Diego Corrales and Zab Judah convincingly, when the two former champions moved up in weight.
Though both were past their primes, Corrales and Judah were formidable opponents. Yet both found out, as
the fights progressed, that Clottey was simply too big and too strong for them.
Thus, Clottey poses a serious test for Pacquiao. If Manny wins – either by decision or KO – he deserves full respect for a win over a very tough, talented fighter.
The second big fight will be on May 1, at the MGM Grand in ‘Vegas, when Floyd Mayweather, Jr., meets Shane Mosley. In our opinion, much like a Mayweather v Pacquiao or a Mosley v. Pacquiao match, this indeed deserves “Super Fight” status. And, just as with those, this is a fight in which both fighters are absolutely capable of winning. Anyone who believes that there is a “sure winner” in this type of fight doesn’t understand the level of competition that we are being treated to.
This is an actual grudge match. Floyd and Shane do not like each other. Obviously, both men respect the talents and abilities the other brings into the ring. But they do not like each other, as individuals. It is safe to say that Floyd has more of a dislike for Shane, than Shane for Floyd. This is because earlier in their careers, Mayweather attempted on at least five occasions to secure a fight with Mosley. At the time, Shane was in the driver’s seat career-wise, and did not think the money was worth the risk. Boxing is, after all, largely a business venture.
In recent times, Floyd has been on the top, and Shane has been looking for the big (money) fights. Thus, he challenged Floyd, including in the very public way after Mayweather’s most recent bout. Because of this, some boxing fans – either due to lack of knowledge or short memories – have promoted the myth that Mayweather has long ducked Mosley.
The May 1 fight is fascinating on paper. It pits two legendary champions who, beyond extraordinary physical gifts, rank among the smartest fighters inside the ring. Both have the ability to initiate action in fights, but are at their best when they dissect an aggressive opponent. This creates a very real possibility that a significant amount of the twelve 3-minute rounds will involve a duel between two of the best counter-punchers of our era.
One of Mayweather’s greatest assets his his ability to adjust to anything that his opponents have brought into the ring. Love him or hate him, boxing fans recognize that Floyd knows how to do enough to win – often by frustrating the opponent’s ability and desire to fight their fight. Against Oscar de la Hoya, the first half of the fight was close; Oscar blew his lead in the second half, however, when he stopped utilizing his jab.
Oscar’s fans were upset by the decision, largely because they believed their man could have won – had he continued jabbing to set up what should have followed. These same fans had been upset at his loss to Trinidad, when Oscar blew his lead by running in the final rounds. What they overlooked in both fights was that Oscar consciously made the choice to stop doing what he had been, because Floyd and Felix were getting to him. The biggest difference was, however, that few boxing fans disliked Trinidad, while many have a strong dislike for Mayweather.
In Mosley, Floyd is meeting not only a great fighter, but certainly his toughest opponent to date. Shane has had a long, very successful career, and his true greatness may not be fully appreciated by the boxing community until after he retires. From 1993 through 2001, he was both flawless and explosive: he flattened almost all of the top lightweights of the time, before moving up to win the welterweight crown in an impressive decision victory over de la Hoya.
In 2002, he lost two wars with Vernon Forrest (who previously beat him in the amateurs); and then in 2004, lost twice to Winky Wright. In these four fights, it became evident that one shortcoming Shane has involves the jab. Because of his outstanding speed, reflexes, and power, Shane had been able to get by with a pawing jab. Against most opponents, it was enough. But, as styles make fights, Shane was not able to beat the two fighters he most needed a solid jab against.
When he fought Cotto in November, 2007, the announcers expressed surprise in the early rounds, because Cotto was out-jabbing Mosley. Why? In part, because experts like Bert Sugar have said that Mosley has “a great jab,” without ever taking notice that he doesn’t. Cotto, in fact, has a very good jab, though many experts overlooked it.
To fight successfully against Mayweather, a person would appear to need two things: a solid jab (hopefully a double- and triple jab), which allows every other punch to follow; and the ability to concentrate on a body attack, when Floyd leans back.
Many fighters appear to focus entirely on wanting to knock Floyd’s teeth down his throat, when he
flashes that contemptuous grin at them. Nope. That’s the time to start with the body attack.
Though his jab is not great, Mosley has a heck of a body attack. And he is an absolute master of punctuating the body attack with lightening-fast hooks or rights to the head. Such an attack often causes opponents to move slightly off-balance, and Mosley takes full advantage of this. Watching the highlights of his numerous impressive KO victories shows just how good he is at this.
Now, of course, to bring this attack – which Floyd fully expects – Shane makes himself vulnerable, too. It’s one thing to “know” how to beat Floyd Mayweather – everyone who has fought him so far knew exactly how to beat him. The problem is what happens along the way. Straight punches can’t land in a meaningful way on Floyd’s body when he is in his defensive stance. In order to make his body shots do damage, Shane has to do two things: step to one side (usually to his left), and hook below the ribs. The obvious risk comes
from Floyd’s ability to land with a short, straight right.
It is generally known that Mosley hits harder than Mayweather. In part, this is because he commits more in his delivery than does Floyd. Yet, in a fight with two outstanding counter-punchers, both men will have the ability to hurt the other. Perhaps more importantly, Mosley’s strength and speed could allow him to catch Floyd off-balance.
Because Mayweather tends to do the mental calculus that permits him to win seven rounds to five, even one “flash” knockdown by Mosley could upset Floyd’s strategy. Likewise, when Mosley commits to moving inside, Floyd’s power increases: he is a master of using the synergy of his strength plus his opponent’s.
A great fighter like Mosley will definitely be able to absorb Mayweather’s powerful counters for a few rounds. But even tough fighters with good whiskers have found it difficult to do for long. Both Arturo Gatti and Ricky Hatton found out the hard way. Oscar De La Hoya, while never seriously hurt by Floyd, ended up hesitating the split-second before punching, allowing for Floyd to punish him.
Another question involves Shane’s ability to maintain peek physical condition. While it is true that he is never out of shape, older fighters face difficulties that were not an issue in their prime. Mosley’s fights since 2005 have provided evidence of the problem of being at peek every fight. Also, there is the example of Sonny Liston being in great shape for his return bout with Ali; having it postponed due to Ali’s hernia; and Liston being unable maintain that level. Mosley was peeking for the Berto fight. Now, he has to go through a cycle that is more difficult at his age.
Clearly, either man could win. It will come down to who can impose their strengths upon the other. It may well be a fight where the momentum goes back-and-forth, through the last round. Whatever happens, it will be great for the sport of boxing. It should lead to the winner facing Manny Pacquiao later in the year. Because Mosley has shown the willingness to submit to the type of drug-testing that Mayweather demands, it would be difficult for Pac Man to refuse to do so in the future. And that is great for boxing, too.
