Will Haye Be Too Cautious to Beat Wladimir?
By Chris Williams: In looking over several of David Haye’s most recent fights, I’ve noticed that he tends to fight very cautiously as if he’s afraid to mix it and get hit hard. I’ve seen the same from Wladimir Klitschko as well, but not nearly to the level that Haye seems to try and avoid getting hit in his fights.
Thirlwall Stops Hillyard
By Daniel Cann: In an interesting middleweight competition on the undercard of the Barker v McDermott title fight, friends and sparring partners Bermondsey’s Matt Thirlwall fought George Hillyard in a scheduled ten rounder. 28 year old Thirlwall was hoping to secure a lucrative match with either the winner of the Commonwealth bout later that night or British Champion Matthew Macklin. He had to get past the chunky looking Hillyard first. The younger man started brightly taking the fight to his taller opponent. A good left hook from Hillyard caught Thirlwall cleanly.
Khan: “I Just Love Proving People Wrong”
By Chris Williams: British lightweight contender Amir Khan (20-1, 15 KOs) sounded a little deluded and like he has a mini chip on his shoulder in a recent interview in which Khan said, “I love proving people wrong. Lots of boxers and so-called experts said I’d never come back the same, but I’ve come back better.” Khan, 22, is referring to his 1st round knockout loss to Colombian Breidis Prescott in September 2008, a fight which Khan foolishly rushed out and tried to trade shots with the bigger and more powerful Prescott.
Chris Eubank to Become World Champion?
By Inder Sirha: No, this is not an amazing comeback story for the former champion who held the WBO Middleweight and Super Middleweight titles. This is a story of his teenage son Christopher Eubank Jr. who trains nearly every day of the week in the Top Rank gym off the Las Vegas strip.
Greg Page’s Fight in Finally Over
By Sam Gregory: This Saturday marked the 135th running of the Kentucky Derby. Louisville, Kentucky is best known for the first and most prestigious jewel in the triple crown of horse racing. People are dressed in silk and gold on Kentucky Derby day and mint juleps flow like the soft wind that blows through the freshly budded willow trees over the rolling hills of the bluegrass state on a beautiful spring day.
Quintero Wins Impressive Unanimous Decision
By Sam Gregory: In the co-main event Marvin Quintero 15-1 with 12 KO’s of Tijuana, Mexico 15-1 with 8 KO’s takes on Wes Ferguson 20-3-1 with 6 KO’s in a scheduled eight round lightweight bout. In the first round southpaw Quintero starts by shoting his jab trying to find his range and digging to the body. Ferguson is backed up as Quintero walks him down and lands his jab to possibly pull out the first round.
Charr Stops Oloukun
By Erik Schmidt: Unbeaten heavyweight prospect Manuel Charr (11-0, 5 KOs) defeated former Nigerian 2004 heavyweight Olympian Gbenga Oloukun (16-1, 10 KOs) by a 7th round TKO on Saturday night at the Konig Palast, in Krefield, Nordhein-Westfalen, Germany. Charr, 24, hit Oloukun with a hard left to the midsection in the 7th, causing Oloukun to back away several steps and crouch down in pain. Referee Oliver Brien then counted Oloukun out at 1:29 of the 7th before he could make it to his feet.
