In a complete mismatch at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic
City, New Jersey, WBA welterweight champion Miguel
Cotto pounded and toyed with “Contender” star Alphonso
Gomez for 5 rounds before Gomez’s corner called a halt
to the bout on the advice of the ringside physician.
Cotto’s dominance was evident from the opening bell,
showing off his still underrated boxing skills as he
couldn’t miss with the jab, moved out of the way of
anything Gomez threw, and timing effective power
punches. A jab at the end of round 1 seemed to have
Gomez stumbling a bit and Gomez’s face was already
quite red and marked up.

Zuniga upsets Oganov; Kirkland stops Said
posted by mightygloves.com on September 4, 2007
TACOMA, Wash. (Sept. 1, 2007) – In exactly the type of well-matched, hotly contested fight that exemplifies what “ShoBox: The New Generation” is all about, Fulgencio Zuniga (20-2-1, 17 KOs) registered a convincing ninth-round TKO over previously undefeated World Boxing Organization (WBO) No. 8 contender Victor Oganov (26-1, 26 KOs) in a one-sided war for the vacant International Boxing Organization (IBO) super middleweight championship Saturday on SHOWTIME.
In the co-feature of a tremendous “ShoBox” fight card, highly regarded unbeaten WBO No. 10-ranked 154-pound contender James Kirkland (20-0, 17 KOs) demolished Mohammad Said (22-6-1, 14 KOs), dropping him three times en route to a scintillating second-round knockout.
Gary Shaw Productions, LLC, in association with Brian Halquist Productions, co-promoted the terrific doubleheader from Emerald Queen Casino. It aired on SHOWTIME at 11 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the west coast).
The battle-tested Zuniga, of Padilla, Columbia, overcame a disputed first-round knockdown to out-work, out-hustle, out-punch, out-fight and, ultimately, outclass Oganov, who entered the ring having won all 26 of his fights inside the distance.

Magic Man Returns to Form; Dawson Stops Ruiz

HARTFORD, Conn. (June 9, 2007) – The brightest young star and one of the most accomplished veterans of the light heavyweight division won exciting contests Saturday on SHOWTIME at the Connecticut Convention Center. Former two-time world champion Antonio “The Magic Man” Tarver did enough to get past determined Elvir Muriqi to win a controversial close majority decision and the vacant International Boxing Organization (IBO) 175-pound title. And undefeated 24-year old “Bad” Chad Dawson registered a sixth-round TKO over Jesus “Chuy” Ruiz in the first defense of his World Boxing Council (WBC) title.
It took about four rounds for the magic to return for Tarver but when it did he seemingly took control of the bout. Muriqi of Bronx, NY, won more than a few of the early rounds, and a lot of fans with a valiant and exciting effort.

“The World Awaits” – De La Hoya vs Mayweather
posted by Kathleen Holland on April 26, 2007
With the Mega Fight only a few days away, it seems the attention has switched from boxing to the financial success of the promotion. During this week’s telephone conference call, it seemed that most of the questions asked by the media pertained to the tremendous success of the marketing campaign and the substantial amount of money generated by the fight.
This certainly appears to be the biggest revenue producing promotion in the history of boxing, but to boxing fans, that is not what this is all about. The true test of how big of a success this event will be depends on what the boxers bring to the ring and whether or not they will live up to the fans very high expectations. We have seen both of these fighters run, even though it is not typical for Oscar, but we have never seen Oscar meet the likes of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Floyd, who is very quick is probably the best pound for pound in the world, and if he uses the same game plan as in his last fight, quick punches and run, then it will be up to Oscar to keep the fight exciting by cutting Floyd off. On the other hand, if Oscar can’t handle Floyd, we may see him decide to run. Be that as it may, it will be interesting to see how the fight actually plays out, whether or not the spectators, either watching it in person or on TV, actually get their money’s worth.

The PacMan Retains WBC International Super Featherweight Title by Impressive KO
posted by Kathleen Holland on April 15, 2007
SAN ANTONIO, TX – Manny Pacquaio (44-3-2, 33 KOs) scored an 8th round KO over Jorge Solis ( 33-1-2, 23 KOs) and retained his WBC International Super Featherweight title at the Alamodome before an excited crowd of 14,793, the second largest attendance in boxing history in San Antonio right behind the Chavez-Whitaker fight.
Pacquaio suffered a cut over his left eye due to an accidental head butt in the fifth round, but that didn’t seem to affect him much, as he closed the round out with a barrage of combinations. The sixth round was ferocious with both fighters giving it there all, but the end came at 1:16 seconds of the 8th round when referee Vic Drakulich reached the count of ten after Solis second knockdown in the round. Pacquaio had won every round but two on each of the judges score cards.

CES releases world champion Missy Fiorentino
posted by mightygloves.com on February 14, 2007
PROVIDENCE (February 13, 2007) - Classic Entertainment & Sports, Inc. (CES) has released IWBF featherweight champion Missy "The Fury" Fiorentino from her promotional contract, effective immediately, due to detrimental behavior at last Friday night's "Hearts Of Fire" show in Providence, CES president Jimmy Burchfield announced today.
Fiorentino (15-1, 6 KOs) walked Mia St. John to the ring and stood in her corner before and after the St. John's title fight against Missy's CES stablemate Jaime Clampitt, who won a 10-round unanimous decision (100-90, 100-90, 99-91) for the vacant IWBF lightweight championship, which Fiorentino had relinquished.
"CES stands for teamwork, family and togetherness," Burchfield explained his decision to release Fiorentino. "That's what we are all about and anyone who isn't cannot be with us, regardless of the fighter's record and accomplishments. We acknowledged all of our fighters (in the audience) by introducing them in the ring, in between fights, as a sign of respect. Nobody could find Missy because she was in Mia's dressing room, which was the last place anybody from CES would have thought to look. I couldn't believe she was in the corner of her CES teammate's opponent. It was a bush league move that I will not tolerate by her or anybody else on Team CES."
