Mike “The Beast” Campbell vs Marc Stevens to headline WCF 9 February 26, 2010 Wilmington, Ma

Posted on | January 12, 2010 | No Comments

Fresh off a win at WCF 8, WEC Veteran Mike “The Beast” Campbell is set to headline WCF 9 when he takes on tough NY native, Marc Stevens. Campbell is 7-2 overall, and is 2-0 in the WCF with 2 first round TKO wins. Campbell moves down to his optimal fight weight of 155 lbs. to take on his toughest opponent to date in the new weight class. Stevens is a dominant wrestler with fantastic ground and pound, and was 4-0 in 2009 (12-4 overall) with big wins over Hitalo Machado and “Mr. Big” Al Buck. Stevens is currently ranked #2 in New England at 155 lbs. and he looks to continue his rise to the top on February 26, but standing in his way is “The Beast.”

Also recently added to WCF 9 is a match up between two of the areas most exciting & popular middleweight fighters, undefeated Mike Zichelle and Stephen Stengel. Neither fighter has ever been in a boring fight, and they are likely to steal the show on February 26. Both have KO power, and this one won’t go the distance.

Riding a 4 fight winning streak, Aniss Alhajjajy makes his return to WCF when he takes on the very slick Chris Chappell. Chris is making his WCF debut, but comes in with a 4-2 pro record. Aniss has looked great, winning 3 out of his 4 fights by submission, but he faces his toughest challenge to date in Chappell, who may be the first fighter he’s faced who can match him on the ground.

New fights are being released weekly, and this event keeps getting better and better. Get your tickets Now!

Putting the Xyience Story To Bed & Waiting For The Ultimate Judgment Day

Posted on | January 11, 2010 | 2 Comments

By: Rich Bergeron

[mpinpage]

It is so hard to even imagine the day when the Xyience sage will really be over for me. Back when all this began I had a feeling it might be the kind of story that could define my career someday. It’s been nearly two-and-a-half years since the lawsuit paperwork reached my inbox. The court battles have been contentious and frustrating for the most part, but certain points were strangely fun.

I enjoyed more than anything the opportunity to call out the opposing lawyers along the way who always tried to back me into a corner with technicalities. None of them bothered to gather any substance or concrete evidence. They attacked me with lies upon lies, a foundation of falsehoods for a case that never had merit on their part. They defended their own subversive and manipulative behavior to hide the truth and decried my methods of revealing it.

For me, rather than reflecting negatively on all the days I’ve had to spend crafting motions and doing legal research or trying to calculate the total wasted hours, I look at my accomplishments by the numbers:

I’ve managed to keep this case moving through the system through 3 different judges before Bankruptcy Judge Mike Nakagawa took the matter over.

Judge Timothy Williams, the gentleman endorsed by Station Casinos for his campaign for the bench, was the first obstacle. Judge Williams signed the existing, un-enforced bogus injunction secured by the first lawyer on the case: Jamie Cogburn. By the time I appeared to argue against the application of a default judgment, Williams had warmed up to me a bit for at least trying to be a lawyer with all my might.

Click Here to read the throwback report on that first success before Williams that I argued a bit too hard for (recording included) but got anyway.

Williams eventually stepped down due to some coincidental connection to one of the law firms involved once Jamie Cogburn quit the case with an outstanding bill. The case spent a brief period under the guidance of two other Clark County, Nevada judges before being transferred to bankruptcy court and Nakagawa.

Four law firms couldn’t shut me down through the worst of conditions with all the odds against me.

Cogburn’s took a crack at the case and failed first. He famously offered to settle with me for “a box of sodas” and “a thousand dollars” when he was the one who first filed the case against me. It was yet another small victory knowing Xyience left him a huge unpaid balance.

Then Pamela Lawson of Hunterton and Associates took on Xyience as a client without even knowing how to pronounce the company’s name. She was easy to make fun of, and not just for me.

Fennemore Craig’s legal team of Laurel Davis and Jon Pearson never really lifted a finger to further their case, playing the defensive role through their whole involvement. Most of their hard work was done by the Fertitta Enterprises team fighting my counterclaim as a co-defendant of Xyience’s. The Fertittas had Gordon and Silver’s Greg Garman and Matthew Zirzow doing their dirty work, and these attorneys took some of my worst verbal barbs in writing and in spoken word at the bankruptcy hearings. I called Garman a clown twisting balloon animals for the court and hoping to amuse the judge at one hearing. I called his clients at Fertitta Enterprises thugs in business suits and corporate crooks.

The fifth firm is the liquidation trustee, and there no longer appears to be a need to fight these first legal minds outside of Nevada to handle the estate’s litigation streams. These folks are finally on my side and ready to put this long story in the proper perspective by concentrating all our combined legal efforts on the main culprits. They are already pursuing some of the same bad apples I’m after.

I’ve handled these legal matters in both local and federal court systems, all the while living thousands of miles from the venue. I’ve been flown to New York by my adversaries and to Las Vegas by some Xyience shareholders. I’ve been offered as much as $5,000 to walk away. I’ve spent about that much through the course of the litigation on associated costs, but never for any paid legal advice.

I even wound up taking on a fifth judge (judgegod.com) and a sixth law firm (www.lewis-kappessucks.com) in Indianapolis due to an unrelated book project involving a plastic surgeon’s most outspoken online critic. I started www.suckssite.com as a resource to all those Americans out there in need of an effective outlet to gripe about the things that irk them the most.

I’m hoping the days ahead might afford me the opportunity to stop being a lawyer and start being a writer again. More than the prospect of spending any settlement money on my formal law school training, what really intrigues me is using the funds to travel to appropriate research points for an all-inclusive book project.

The Ultimate Judgment will eventually come down against the Fertitta Enterprises crew and all the other individuals and entities involved in bankrupting and using Xyience to further their own needs. I’ll be involved with the trustee’s office every step of the way, but in a limited role so I’ll have time to write the story. A few more reports here will take us to the end of this whole saga’s Online life. From there the Xyience tale will grow to new heights as the only written expose to fully reveal the Fertittas for the true scumbags they are.

Stay tuned in the coming days as a new report is coming soon about some other “Usual Suspects” who moved onto other scams after bilking Xyience. I’ll explore one of the trustee’s other complaints and the defendants in that claim.

ENNIS – VAZQUEZ TURF WARS UNDERCARD FINALIZED FOR THIS FRIDAY, JANUARY 15TH AT THE ARENA IN PHILADELPHIA

Posted on | January 11, 2010 | No Comments

PHILADELPHIA (JANUARY 11th, 2010)—THIS Friday night, the first big boxing of the new decade in Philadelphia will take place as USBA Jr. Middleweight champion, Derek “Pooh” Ennis will take on Edwin Vazquez in an eight round non-title bout that will highlight an eight bout card at The Arena in South Philadelphia.

The card is promoted by Greg Robinson’s Power Productions in association with River Edge Beverage Company.

Ennis of Philadelphia will be looking to improve upon his record that currently stands at 19-2-1 with twelve knockouts and will be looking to carry the momentum of a seven fight win streak. In that streak, Ennis has scored three knockouts and is coming off a career best win when he scored an exciting twelve round unanimous decision over Eromosele Albert on October 16th at The Legendary Blue Horizon to capture the USBA Jr. Middleweight title.

A win over Vazquez will pave the way for Ennis’ first title defense that is tentatively penciled in for April 9th.

Vazquez of Santurce, Puerto Rico has a record of 22-14-2 with eight knockouts and is looking for a win in the worst way as he has dropped five straight contests.

Those losses have come to some of the top Welterweights and Jr. Middleweights as Vazquez has lost to Matthew Hatton (30-3-1); Zab Judah (34-5); Eric Mitchell (20-4-1); Euri Gonzalez (16-0-1) and his most recent outing, Vazquez was stopped in four rounds to Cuban super prospect Erislandy Lara (5-0) on May 22nd in Miami.

Ironically Ennis and Vazquez were scheduled to meet on February 15th, 2008 but Ennis failed to make weight and Mitchell stepped in on less then twenty-four hours notice to score a very close unanimous decision.

An exciting undercard has been put together that will feature of the area’s most popular and top prospects.

In a six round co-feature, popular Victor Vasquez (10-3, 5 KO’s) takes on Gustavo Dailey (4-7, 1 KO) in a battle of Philadelphia lightweight’s.

Vasquez is riding a two fight win streak and the always crowd pleasing fighter, who is a licensed barber will look to cut down Dailey.

Vasquez is coming off a six round unanimous decision over Tyric Robinson (9-4-1) on October 16th at The Legendary Blue Horizon.

Dailey has been matched very tough throughout his career and he has been very active as this will be his thirteenth fight in just under two years of pro experience.

Dailey is coming off the third fight of his trilogy with Maryland prospect, Tyrell Samuel.

Dailey scored a major upset when scored a six round split decision over Samuel last July in Samuel’s backyard in Maryland. The two engaged in a return bout two months later that saw Samuel win by an eight round unanimous decision. The two fought a rubber match in November and once again Samuel scored a five round technical decision after a cut opened up over Samuel’s right eye.

In a second six round co-feature, Northeast Philadelphian, Tony “Boom Boom” Ferrante battles Andre Hemphill in a Light Heavyweight bout.

Ferrante, 8-0 with four knockouts an eight round majority decision over Billy Bailey at The Arena on July 10th.

Ferrante recently came off a six week stint as the main sparring partner for the legendary Bernard Hopkins as Hopkins prepared for his December 2nd win over Enrique Ornelas

Hemphill, also of Philadelphia has a record of 8-13-2 with five wins coming by knockout has been in with top competition and this will be the THIRTEENTH undefeated opponent that he has stepped into the ring with which includes his last fight where he took a fight with Jeremiah Graziano on less then twenty-four hours notice and Hemphill was stopped in the first round of the October 2nd bout at The Legendary Blue Horizon.

Good looking Super Featherweight prospect, Coy Evans of Philadelphia risks his undefeated mark that stands at 5-0-1 when he takes on Vinesh Rungea of the United Kingdom.

Evans is coming off an impressive victory over thirty-five fight veteran Carlos Diaz on October 16th at The Legendary Blue Horizon

Rungea is much like Hemphill as his record, 2-14-3, looks deceiving due to his high level opposition. He has faced seven undefeated fighters which includes his most recent outing which was a first round knockout defeat to highly regarded Rances Barthelemy on August 28th in Hollywood, Florida.

In a four round Light Heavyweight bout, Tommie “Big Poppa” Speller, 4-3 with three knockouts of Philadelphia takes on Dave Cook, 3-3 with two knockouts in a four round bout.

6’4” Middleweight, Derrick Webster, 3-0 with two knockouts of Glassboro, New Jersey will battle Antonio Walls, 2-2 with one knockout of Washington, DC

Wahid Raheem, who is the brother of Lightweight contender and former U.S. Olympian Zahir Raheem, 3-0 with one stoppage of Philadelphia will square off with Eilud Torres (2-1-2, 1 KO) of Allentown, PA in a four round Lightweight bout.

Rounding out the bill will be Cruiserweight, Charles Heyward (2-2,1 KO) of Philadelphia seeing action in a four round Cruiserweight tussle.

Tickets for this outstanding night of boxing are priced at $75, $65 and $40 and can be purchased by calling Power Productions at 215-240-9987; Ticketmaster at 215-336-2000 or The Arena at 267-687-7560
