Crawford Drops Kavaliauskas 3 Times, Stops Him in 9 Crawford Drops Kavaliauskas 3 Times, Stops Him In 9 NEW YORK CITY — In the main event of a Top Rank on ESPN card from Madison Square Garden, pound-for-pound greatTerence “Bud” Crawford (36-0, 27KO) retained his WBO World Welterweight Title, sendingEgidijus “Mean Machine” Kavaliauskas (21-1-1, 18KO) to the canvas three times en route to a 9th round TKO victory. True to form, the 32 year old Nebraskan Crawford started slow and conceded early rounds and momentum to Kavaliauskas. In the third round, Kavaliauskas landed a huge right hand that momentarily buckled Crawford. The Lithuanian quickly followed up with a flurry of shots that ultimately collapsed Crawford to the mat, but referee Ricky Gonzalez nullified the knockdown and ruled Crawford was pushed. After four see-sawing rounds that witnessed both fighters give and take their fair share of punishment, Crawford began to take control in the fifth. “Bud” found success by fighting a more defensive fight and staying out of range of Kavaliauskas’s right eye. But in the seventh, the switch-hitting Crawford upped the ante and turned up the heat. Time and again Crawford came forward with a high guard and closed the gap between he and Kavaliauskas before letting his hands go. Towards the end of the round, Crawford caught Kavaliauskas with a buzzing right hook that offset the Lithuanian’s equilibrium and sent him to the mat. Kavaliauskas beat Gonzalez’s ten count and was able to ride out the ensuing storm to make it out of the round. Just two rounds later, Crawford dropped Kavaliauskas with a vicious uppercut. Just a few moments later, with Kavaliauskas standing on shaky legs, Crawford missiled a left cross to the ear that dropped Kavaliauskas for the third and final time. Gonzalez stepped in immediately to wave off the contest at the :44 mark of the ninth round. It was the seventh stoppage win in a row for Crawford and tenth in his last eleven contests. For Kavaliauskas, tonight’s result makes it two straight fights that the tough Lithuanian has exited the ring winless. He previously fought to a disappointing draw against “The New” Ray Robinson in March. “I thought I had to entertain ya’ll for a little bit,” Crawford said afterward. “He’s a strong fighter, durable, and I thought I’d give the crowd something to cheer for.” Referring to the second round knockdown-ruled-push, “Bud” said, “I wasn’t hurt at all. I got up and went straight to him. I wasn’t hurt by no means, I walked through everything he threw all night.” With regards to what’s next for the WBO champ, Crawford said, “I’ll fight anybody. I’ve been saying that for I don’t know how long…I’m not ducking anyone on the PBC side or Top Rank platform…I want to fight all the top guys.” Unfortunately for Crawford, he remains somewhat stranded on a welterweight island as much of the division’s top talent are under promotional contracts with Premier Boxing Champions (PBC). Take Over Continues: Lopez Blasts Out Commey In 2 To Capture First World Title In the night’s most anticipated contest, 22 year-old phenom Teofimo Lopez (15-0, 12KO) scored an emphatic second round stoppage over Richard Commey (29-3, 26KO), to capture the IBF World Lightweight Title. After a close first round that saw little separation between fighters, a straight right by Lopez early in the second caught Commey square on the chin and collapsed the Ghanaian to the canvas. Commey, 32, tried to get up right away, but stumbled forward to the ground before finally making it to his feet before referee David Field reaches the count of ten. Knowing Commey was standing on unsteady legs, Lopez went all- in, backing Commey against the ropes before unleashing a brutal onslaught of punches that had Commey’s head snapping around with each punch, forcing Fields to mercifully jump between fighters to call a halt to the contest at the 1:13 mark of round two. It was as impressive and dominating a performance as one could have hoped for Lopez, who now turns his attention to landing a unification bout with lightweight king, Vasiliy Lomachenko. The emphatic win also quiets Lopez’s detractors, many of whom have suggested that family drama would negatively impact his in-ring performance. Partially to get away from the noise, Team Lopez held training camp for this fight in Ringoes, NJ, about 60 miles of west of Brooklyn, where Lopez was born and again resides. While Lopez is still trained by his father, also Teofimo, Team Lopez brought in former two-weight champion Joey Gamache into his New Jersey camp to work with Lopez. Prior to tonight, Commey’s only other losses both came in 2016 when he found himself on the losing end of two close split decisions to Robert Easter, Jr. and Denis Shafikov. “I’m at a loss for words right now,” Lopez said post-fight. “This a dream come true.” He continued, “{Commey} is a bad man. His shot could’ve done the same to me if he hit me with that shot…You all know who I want to fight next. 2020 is going to be a big year. ‘The Takeover’ has arrived, and you haven’t seen anything yet.” Lomachenko, who holds three of the four lightweight titles and was seated ringside tonight, also spoke after the fight, saying, “We want to ‘unificate’ all four titles. Now he’s a world champion and now he’s in position to fight me.” Sweet Revenge: Conlan Bests Nikitin Via UD In the opening bout of the ESPN-televised portion of the card, Irish featherweight Mick Conlan (13-0, 7KO) avenged his controversial 2016 Olympic defeat against RussianVladimir Nikitin (3-1), defeating him by unanimous decision (100-90, 99-91, 98-92). The switch-hitting 28 year-old Belfast native, Conlan, fought entirely out of the southpaw stance in the opening round working well behind a stiff right jab to control the distance and pace of the fight. In the second, Conlan fought briefly in the orthodox stance before permanently returning to southpaw. After an offensively mute first round for Nikitin, the 29 year-old Russian began to come to life in the second, rushing inside Conlan’s reach and wildly letting his hands fly. Nikitin did his best work in the early goings when he was able to pin Conlan against the ropes and fire away. In the early middle rounds, Conlan — who they’re quick to point out represents all of Ireland — continued to keep Nikitin at arm’s length by continually popping jabs Nikitin’s way. But the crafty Russian kept finding ways to close the gap and force Conlan to engage. As the fight bore on, the distance naturally closed, and willing exchanges became the norm. In the eight, both fighters dug in, stood their ground, threw caution to the wind, and fired shots from all angles. Though Conlan bested Nikitin during their exchanges, the Irishman returned to his corner with a gash over his right eye — a cut that continued to leak blood for the remainder of the fight. It was the sixth time that the Adam Booth-trained Conlan has fought at inside the walls of Madison Square Garden, which has become a home away from home for the Irishman. The two were initially slated to face each other in early August, but an injury to Nikitin’s bicep forced the fight to be postponed. Josue Vargas Scores UD Over Noel Murphy Twenty-one year old Josue “The Prodigy” Vargas (16-1, 9KO) continued his ascent through the junior welterweight ranks, scoring a ten round unanimous decision (98-92×3) over Irishman Noel Murphy (14-2-1, 2KO). It was a slow-to-start southpaw v southpaw affair that eventually lulled into a hypnotic rhythm that time and again saw Vargas walk down a retreating Murphy before the two exchanged fire. Neither fighter was particularly hard to hit and by the early middle middle rounds, Vargas sported an ever-growing mouse under his right eye, while a steady of stream of blood trickled from Murphy’s nose. And though the 25 year-old Murphy was marking up Vargas’s face, it was the Bronx-born Puerto Rican, Vargas, who continually got the better of Murphy during their exchanges. Tonight was just the second career loss for the durable Murphy, who lives and fights out of Woodhaven, NY by way of Cork, Ireland. His only other career loss came against former world title challenger Mikkel Lespierre in February 2018. Vargas now has gone the distance three of his last four fights. His lone blemish remains a 2016 DQ against Samuel Santa. Berlanga Continues First Round KO Streak, Stops Nunez In One Undefeated Brooklyn super middleweight Edgar “The Chosen One” Berlanga (13-0, 13KO) continued to steamroll his opposition, scoring his thirteenth straight first round knockout, this time against the normally durable Spaniard Cesar “Bam Bam” Nunez (16-2-1, 8KO). As per usual, it was bombs away from the opening bell for the Puerto Rican-blooded Berlanga. Roughly fifteen seconds into the fight, Berlanga landed a clipping left hook that sent Nunez to the canvas. The 22 year- old Berlanga kept the pressure on and continued to unload on the staggering Nunez and ultimately sent him to the mat again with a chopping right, but referee Mike Ortega waved it off, ruling Berlanga hit Nunez behind the head. Although a foul, the shot had lingering effects, and a foggy Nunez was floored for the third and final time shortly after courtesy of another left hook shortly succeed.

  • Fighters and Fathers: Managing Masculinity in Contemporary Boxing Cinema
    Fighters and Fathers: Managing Masculinity in Contemporary Boxing Cinema JOSH SOPIARZ In Antoine Fuqua’s film Southpaw (2015), just as Jake Gyllenhaal’s character Billy Hope attempts suicide by crashing his luxury sedan into a tree in the front yard, his ten-year-old daughter, Leila, sends him a text message asking: “Daddy. Where are you?” (00:46:04). Her answer comes seconds later when, upon hearing a crash, she finds her father in a heap concussed and bleeding badly on the white marble floor of their home’s entryway. Upon waking, Billy’s first and only concern is Leila. Hospital workers, in an effort to calm him, tell Billy that Leila is safe “with child services” (00:48:08-00:48:10) This news does not comfort Billy. Instead, upon learning that Leila is in the state’s custody, the former light heavyweight champion of the world, with face bloodied and muscles rippling, makes his most concerted effort to get up and leave—presumably, to find his daughter. Before he can rise, however, a doctor administers a large dose of sedative and the heretofore unrestrainable Billy fades into unconsciousness as the scene ends. Leila’s simple question—“Daddy. Where are you?”—is central not only to Southpaw but is also relevant for most major boxing films of the 21st century.1 This includes Clint Eastwood’s Million Dollar Baby (2004), David O. Russell’s The Fighter (2010), Ryan Coogler’s Creed (2015), Jonathan Jakubowic’s Hands of Stone (2016), and Stephen Caple, Jr.’s Creed II (2018). These films establish fighter/trainer relationships as alternatives to otherwise biological or “traditional” father/son relationships.

  • The Southpaw Advantage? - Lateral Preference in Mixed Martial Arts
    The Southpaw Advantage? - Lateral Preference in Mixed Martial Arts Joseph Baker1*,Jo¨ rg Schorer2 1 School of Kinesiology and Health Science, York University, Toronto, Canada, 2 Institute of Sport Science, University of Oldenburg, Oldenburg, Germany Abstract Performers with a left-orientation have a greater likelihood of obtaining elite levels of performance in many interactive sports. This study examined whether combat stance orientation was related to skill and success in Mixed Martial Arts fighters. Data were extracted for 1468 mixed martial artists from a reliable and valid online data source. Measures included fighting stance, win percentage and an ordinal measure of skill based on number of fights. The overall analysis revealed that the fraction of fighters using a southpaw stance was greater than the fraction of left-handers in the general population, but the relationship between stance and hand-preference is not well-understood. Furthermore, t-tests found no statistically significant relationship between laterality and winning percentage, although there was a significant difference between stances for number of fights. Southpaw fighters had a greater number of fights than those using an orthodox stance. These results contribute to an expanding database on the influence of laterality on sport performance and a relatively limited database on variables associated with success in mixed martial arts.

  • ORTHODOX STANCE TEACHER RESOURCE PACKAGE Prepared By: Susan Starkman, B.A., M.Ed
    ORTHODOX STANCE TEACHER RESOURCE PACKAGE Prepared by: Susan Starkman, B.A., M.Ed Synopsis: Dimitriy Salita is a Russian immigrant, professional boxer and religious Jew. Orthodox Stance portrays his integration of these seemingly disparate and incompatible cultures, ultimately amalgamating both his pursuit of a professional boxing title with his devotion to Orthodox Judaism. In the end, the film is not just about boxing and religion, but about a young man’s search for meaningful expression. Significance of Title In boxing terms, an orthodox stance refers to the traditional right-handed boxing position (as opposed to a left-handed, or “southpaw” stance). In the context of the film, the title is a clever play on words that incorporates both the language of boxing and the strict branch of Orthodox Judaism that Dimitriy Salita practises. Context After reading an article in The Washington Post about Dimitriy Salita, director Jason Hutt contacted Salita’s rabbi and arranged to meet Dimitriy. According to Hutt, “after reading the article and meeting Dimitriy, it wasn’t the anomalous ‘religious Jewish boxer’ or the ‘will he become the next Jewish champ?’ angles that attracted me, but rather the diverse and wholly original characters that intersect at Dimitriy – an elderly African-American trainer, a Hasidic rabbi, a Las Vegas boxing promoter; as well as the diversity of Dimitriy’s experience – a Russian immigrant, a religious Jew, a top boxing prospect” (Orthodox Stance media kit). Indeed, what sets Orthodox Stance apart from other films in the boxing genre is its focus on how a sport like boxing can bridge racial, ethnic and religious divisions, uniting people from disparate backgrounds.

  • Fighting a Taller Opponent in Boxing and MMA
    Fighting a Taller Opponent in Boxing and MMA Fighting a taller opponent – Fedor Vs some giant dude Ever wondered how to fight someone taller than you? Course you have that’s why you’re here…the following are my tips for boxing or fighting a taller opponent and/or a bigger opponent, I hope they help: 1. Get in the pocket & counter-strike If you are short, or short for your weight class like me, then you pretty much have to get used to taking a jab. Take it on your forehead if you have to, but try not to back up. Ideally you’ll slip and counter, or block and counter, or even, as mentioned, take it on your forehead by keeping your chin right down. You have to be really tough for this to work, which unfortunately I am definitely not. Taller guys can keep safe, at the end of a jab, and win fights without taking any damage at all. It’s not as easy for a shorter fighter, generally speaking you have to be more aggressive and get stuck in. If you continually back up after a jab, you’ll never get in your own range and you won’t be able to counter. If possible you want to move forward, and just ‘walk through’ your opponents jab. For example, if you and your partner are both in orthodox stance (left foot forwards) you could practice parrying a jab and stepping forward (and to the side a bit) with a right foot. As outlined in my amazing illustration: Jab Normal – Then Step forward with back foot and jab again Remember, you do this to counter your opponent’s jab – Move your head to the right and off centre line, then throw your own jab.

INTRODUCTION Boxing is a dangerous sport.1 This was tragically illustrated twice within three months in 2005 when both Martin Sanchez and Leavander Johnson died after suffering injuries during professional boxing matches.2 Sanchez died shortly after suffering a brain bleed during a fight with Rustam Nugaev; Johnson, who also received a fatal brain injury, died five days after his fight with Jesus Chavez.3 While boxing is undoubtedly dangerous,4 extensive regulations covering boxer safety have supposedly made the sport safer.5 Despite the presence of these regulations, the circumstances surrounding the recent deaths of Sanchez and Johnson, especially the death of Sanchez, have led many to believe that the current safety regulations are not being properly enforced.6 For example, one of these regulations requires each boxer to undergo a pre- fight physical examination.7 However, there is evidence that 1 For a history of boxer injuries and legislative responses, see Sen.
