“FAST” EDDIE CHAMBERS TAKES CARE OF LIVIN CASTILLO AT THE LEGENDARY BLUE HORIZON IN FIVE ROUNDS

Posted on | October 6, 2008 | No Comments

PHILADELPHIA (OCTOBER 3, 2008)—“Fast” Eddie Chambers made his homecoming bout a successful one as he took care of stubborn Livin Castillo at 2:59 of round five of their scheduled eight round bout the headlined a six bout card at The Legendary Blue Horizon

Chambers was effective as he used his decided hand speed advantage to land an assortment of punches that kept Castillo from getting comfortable at any point in the fight.

Chambers finally turned up the heat by hurting Castillo late in round five and finished him off with a left that was followed by a right. Castillo turned his back in an effort to have the fight stopped as he was under heavy assault from the IBF number-seven ranked Heavyweight in the world.

“He was a tough guy. I hit him with some good shots and I know I hurt him a few times” said a victorious Chambers.

“I played with him a little too much and I should have had him out there before that. I am going to get right back in the gym and look for something bigger maybe in December.”

Castillo was taken to the hospital after the fight with an apparent jaw injury.

The co-feature was a successful American debut from Anna “The Viking Princess” Ingman as the undefeated Swedish fighter scored a unanimous decision over Cimberly Harris in a six round ladies Jr. Middleweight bout.

Ingman showed very good boxing technique as she used a nice jab to set up some solid right’s and hooks off the jab to win on all cards by scores of 60-54, 59-55 and 58-56.

The fight of the night saw Joselito Collado score a four round unanimous decision over David Orosco in a Featherweight bout that had the crowd on their feet for much of the twelve minutes.

The Dancing Destroyer returns

Posted on | October 6, 2008 | No Comments

Herbie Hide will have his first fight in Britain for four years in a non-title eight round bout at the Norfolk Showground in Norwich on Saturday, 4th October.

The former world heavyweight champion boxes in an eight-round bout against Aleksejs Kosobokovs (Latvia), who has won two of his last three fights by first round stoppage and went the distance with Willi Fischer (Germany) last year.

Hide’s comeback is part of the Hennessy Sports bill which includes Jon Thaxton’s (Norwich) European Lightweight Title challenge against Juan Carlos Diaz Melero (Spain) as top of the bill and Danny McIntosh (Norwich) versus Steve Spartacus (Ipswich) for the English Light-Heavyweight Title. ITV4 ‘Big Fight Live’ will televise from 8.45pm.

Hide suffered a nasty cut in his last fight in Britain, causing the bout against Mindaugas Kulikauskas (Lithuania) to be stopped.

Since then, Hide has been based in Germany and dropped down a division to cruiserweight where he has won nine fights back-to-back and claimed the WBC International Title.

Hide, 37, is ranked at No 5 by the WBC and is closing in on a shot at the prestigious world title.

As he prepares for his big chance to become a two-weight world champion, Hide returns to action in Norwich where he has moved back to.

Promoter Mick Hennessy believes Hide can be a force to be reckoned with in the cruiserweight division.

“Last time Herbie appeared over here was four years ago on a Hennessy Sports show and he has returned over here on a Hennessy Sports show as I’ve got an agreement to work on his career going forward with Ahmet Oener off Arena box,” said Hennessy.

“Herbie is No 5 with the WBC and that rating should improve soon. We are looking to get him a final eliminator for the prestigious WBC world title early next year.

“I think he’s capable of beating any cruiserweight in the world even at this stage of his career and he is capable of becoming world champion again.

“Herbie has done very well in Germany. He has been very dedicated and changed his life around. Arena Box have done a great job with him.

“Last time he fought here he was unfortunate because his career was picking up and he got a nasty cut which set him back a bit.

“He is back living in England now and this fight is just to reintroduce him to the UK market. It will also keep him busy because he is in an excellent position to fight for a world title again.

“He is back living in Norwich and he can see the venue from his house so he is going to walk there on the night. He is very proud to come from Norwich and is very excited to be on this show.”

“Let’s be having you”

“Let’s Be Having You”

Posted on | October 6, 2008 | No Comments

Jon Thaxton believes victory over Juan Carlos Diaz Melero on Saturday will put him in contention for the World Lightweight Title.

Norwich’s former British champion faces Juan Carlos Diaz Melero (Spain) for the vacant European Lightweight Title at the Norfolk Showground as top of the bill on the Hennessy Sport’s show live on ITV4 ‘Big Fight Live.

Jono was stopped halfway through his fight with Yuri Romanov (Russia), which was also for the European Lightweight Title, in April but promoter Mick Hennessy has secured a second opportunity for him.

Thaxton says victory over former European champion Melero will propel him towards a world title shot.

“I want to be a world champion, or at least fight for a world title, and still believe I can do it,” he said.

“I always believe I can win a fight, whether it’s fighting Melero, Amir Khan or even Romanov again.

“Winning this title could launch me on to the world title scene. I have been a pro 16 years and I deserve a lucky break and I could get a world title being European champion.

“I’m 34 – only just – and you have got the likes of Nate Campbell, Joel Casamayor and Juan Manuel Marquez who are all older than me and at the top of my division.

“Campbell is the world champion with three world titles and he is 37. Casamayor is also 37 and he has just been beaten by Marquez, who seems to be getting better and he is 35.

“So when I see them doing it I think to myself why I can’t do the same. I’ve been a pro a long time and have got a lot of experience and ring knowledge.

“There’s going to be a big audience on ITV4 and to be fighting in Norwich is such a big boost for me. Both those factors will give me an edge, but I will block out all the fans and the cameras on the night.

“Melero had Romanov down before Romanov came back to stop him, but Romanov never put me down. Melero is a very capable boxer and he’s adaptable, but we’ve prepared for every situation.”

“Let’s be having you”
