Hofstra’s CAA Wrestler of the Wk- Senior Ben Clymer Talks to Takedown Wrestling
Posted on | January 8, 2012 | No Comments
Clymer, a native of Germansville, Pennsylvania, posted a 6-2 record at the eighth annual Southern Scuffle in Chattanooga, Tennessee to place fourth in the 184-pound weight class yesterday. He made it to the medal round the hard way–after an opening round loss to Missouri’s Clarence Neely, 3-2. Clymer then rattled off six consecutive wins including decisions over 11th-ranked Jon Fausey from Virginia (2-0), 15th-ranked Luke Rebertus from Navy (2-0) and avenging the loss to Neely with a 5-2 win in the sixth-round of the consolations. Clymer’s other loss came in the third-place match against eighth-ranked Kevin Steinhaus from Minnesota, 4-0.
The defending champion at 184 pounds in the CAA, Clymer placed second at the Binghamton Open back in November. While he is unranked by InterMat, he was ranked 16th by Division I College Wrestling, 19th by Amateur Wrestling News and 21st by the Wrestling Report. He placed second at the 2011 New York State Collegiate Championships last January. Clymer, who is the number one-ranked wrestler in the CAA at 184 pounds in this week’s conference report, is now 14-5 on the season.
Hofstra and Clymer will return to action this Sunday, January 8 when they host the Dragons of Drexel University at the Mack Sports Complex at 1 p.m. Tickets for the Drexel match can be purchased by phone at (516) 463-TIXX or online by clicking here.

Simcic Retains WBF Title With UD Over Adamek
Posted on | January 8, 2012 | No Comments
With a sold out crowd of 1500 spectators at the Maritim Hotel in Magdeburg, Germany, defending World Boxing Federation International Light Heavyweight Champion Denis Simcic retained his title with a unanimous decision over Czech challenger Tomas Adamek.
Judges Zoltan Enyedi of Hungary, Lachzen Oumghar from the Netherlands and Germany’s Frank Michael Maass scored the contest 97-93, 98-92 and 97-93 respectively. Referee was Zbiniew Lagosz from Poland.
The bout started with both boxing somewhat cautiously behind tight guards, but with Simcic the busier of the two. While the defense of Adamek seemed difficult for Simcic to penetrate, he found more and more success as the rounds went on.
Adamek had his moments and was dangerous with his sneaky counter-attacks, but Simcic put on a clever, if not spectacular, performance and while he didn’t win all rounds he appeared to have the fight under control all the way.
Both fought to win, Simcic could never relax, but the defending champion was just the better man and a deserved winner after ten good rounds. Simcic improved his professional record to 27-1 (14), and Adamek fell to 17-6-1 (7).
The fight was promoted by SES Boxing, and aired live throughout Germany on Sport1, while TV Slovenia broadcasted in Simcic’s birth-country.
