  • Middleweight Champion Gennady Golovkin Defends Wba Title on Saturday, May 12Th
    MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION GENNADY GOLOVKIN DEFENDS WBA TITLE ON SATURDAY, MAY 12TH KIEV, UKRAINE (April 30, 2012) WBA Middleweight Champion Gennady Golovkin and his noted trainer Abel Sanchez have arrived in Kiev, Ukraine where Golovkin will defend his world title on Saturday, May 12th against Japanese champion Makoto Fuchigami at the Ice Palace “Terminal”. Known for his devastating knockouts and fan friendly style, the undefeated Golovkin sports a record of 22-0-0 with nineteen stoppages while the southpaw Fuchigami, 19-6-0 (10KO’s), enters the twelve round clash with a nine bout- winning streak, eight by knockout. A native of Kazakhstan and living in Stuttgart, Germany, Golovkin returns to action following a brutal first round knockout of Philadelphia based contender Lajuan Simon on December 9th in Dusseldorf, Germany. Simon had not been previously stopped over his eight-year career, including a twelve round war with then world champion Arthur Abraham and going the distance with Sebastian Sylvester, both in 2009. Fuchigami, ranked #9 by the WBA, is coming off a tenth round stoppage of Kyung –Suk Kwak on April 9th in Tokyo. Prior to that he won the OPBF Middleweight Title on December 12, 2011 with a ninth round knockout of Koji Sato in Tokyo, his career best victory. He is the highest rated middleweight from Japan. While focused on the heavy handed Fuchigami, Golovkin also has his sights set on any of the world title holders from junior middleweight to super middleweight. “I feel comfortable at 160 but I’m willing to go down to 154 or up to 168 to fight the best in the world.

  • Gnawing, Helpless Monotony: David “The Destroyer” Lopez (1977-2017)
    Gnawing, helpless monotony: David “The Destroyer” Lopez (1977-2017) By Bart Barry- Thursday night Mexican middleweight contender David “The Destroyer” Lopez and his son were attacked in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, Lopez’s hometown, while driving in Lopez’s pickup truck. Lopez was declared dead at the site of the shooting and his son was taken to the hospital in critical condition. No motive for the shooting is currently known, or at least none is being reported by Mexican media. The murder of Lopez is a boxing death that appears to have nothing to do with boxing but leaves anyone who covered Lopez’s career with what gnawing sense of helpless monotony one feels after receiving tragically bad news. I did not know Lopez well but sat ringside for seven of his matches in Southern Arizona at Desert Diamond Casino, a property of Tohono O’odham Nation not technically in Tucson though nearby. More to the point Desert Diamond Casino is an hour’s drive north on I-19 from Nogales, a bordertown that exists in both Arizona and Sonora – effectively a single city with a large wall slicing its middle – once a place of reasonably safe diversion. Many aficionados made that drive northwards to Desert Diamond; Lopez drew disproportionate to his talents. He was a durable spoiler type, a natural underdog, an attrition fighter, without any particular punch or charisma. For a stretch, though, 2005-2009, Lopez was Nogales’ hometeam, and 800-1,000 Arizonans and Sonorans reliably attended his every match. When Oscar De La Hoya and Richard Schaefer created Golden Boy Promotions they began hosting bimonthly cards at Desert Diamond as a farm league of sorts for their growing stable of prizefighters.

  • DEREK ENNIS Vs. GABRIEL ROSADO in OLD-FASHIONED PHILLY BRAWL FRIDAY, JULY 30, at the ARENA–FIGHT LIVE on GFL
    DEREK ENNIS vs. GABRIEL ROSADO IN OLD-FASHIONED PHILLY BRAWL FRIDAY, JULY 30, AT THE ARENA–FIGHT LIVE ON GFL Philadelphia, PA–Junior middleweight Derek Ennis will defend his United States Boxing Association (USBA) junior middleweight title against ‘King’ Gabriel Rosado in an all- Philadelphia showdown Friday evening, July 30, at the Arena (formerly New Alhambra), 7 West Ritner Street in South Philadelphia. The scheduled 12-round championship fight tops a seven-bout card which begins at 7.30 p.m. “Philadelphia’s boxing history has been punctuated by some of the fiercest neighborhood brawls,” said Hall-of-Fame promoter J Russell Peltz. “You can go all the way back to Lew Tendler in the early days of the century and run right through my career with matches like Bennie Briscoe vs. Cyclone Hart. These are the local fights that made Philly a boxing capitol for a long time. “I hope the Ennis-Rosado fight can help to jump-start other potential local matches which can help Philadelphia reclaim its place among the best boxing towns in the country.” Ennis, 29, is from the Germantown section of Philadelphia. He won the vacant USBA title last Oct. 16 when he earned a unanimous 12-round decision over Eromosele Albert, of Miami FL. In two non-title fights since then, Ennis K0d Edwin Vasquez, of Santurce, Puerto Rico, and out-pointed Jose Adelaydo Gonzalez, of Garden City, KS. A pro since 2002, Ennis has a record of 21-2-1, 13 K0s. He also holds the Pennsylvania State Junior Middleweight title which he won by beating another Philadelphian, Troy Browning, in 2008.

  • Gabriel Rosado Prepares for Sept. 9 Fight And
    GABRIEL ROSADO PREPARES FOR SEPT. 9 FIGHT AND CREDITS BERNARD HOPKINS Philadelphia, PA—In what has become a common story from rising Philadelphia fighters, 25-year-old Gabriel Rosado, like undefeated 28- year-old welterweight Mike Jones, credits ageless wonder Bernard Hopkins for being a helpful influence. Rosado, who boxes Keenan Collins, of Reading, PA, for the Pennsylvania State junior middleweight title Sept. 9 at the Asylum Arena in South Philadelphia, also has helped Hopkins, who became, at age 46, the oldest man to win a major boxing title, prepare for some of his fights. “I’ve been a sparring partner for Bernard for four of his fights, including his last win,” (a 12- round decision over Jean Pascal in May), said Rosado, who turned pro in 2006 after just 17 amateur fights. “If Bernard sees potential in you, he takes the time to break things down for you. He shares his boxing techniques and old-school traits with you. He has improved my footwork and has shown me how to close the distance between myself and my opponents. He has made a big difference in my career and I’m impressed watching him fight at 46. He’s the coolest dude.” Rosado (17-5, 10 KOs), is riding the most impressive streak of his career, having won his last three fights, seven of his last nine, 11 of his last 14. Included in those streaks are victories over former IBF world junior middleweight champ Kassim Ouma, of Uganda, and top contender Saul Roman, of Mexico. The Rosado-Collins championship bout and the eight-round semifinal, which features unbeaten welterweight prospect Ronald Cruz, of Bethlehem, PA, will be broadcast on TeleFutura’s Solo Boxeo Tecate at 11.30pm ET/PT (10.30pm CT).
