By Jim Dower: Brian Minto (35-4, 22 KO’s) moved back up to heavyweight to take on Tony Grano (19-2-1, 15 KO’s) on Saturday night and I bet Minto, 37, probably wishes he had stayed at cruisierweight, as he was stopped in the third round by Grando at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, New York.

By Peter Wells: Tomorrow night Don King at the age of 79 is still doing business and has set up another great show. Unfortunately IBF Cruiserweight champ Guillermo Jones won’t be fighting on the card but that doesn’t mean we’re not in for a treat.

It was just like old times Wednesday night at the Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida, as super middleweight contender Edison “Pantera” Miranda showed off his fearsome power once again as he knocked out Manuel Esparza in the third round on the “Hard Knocks at the Hard Rock” event.
Johnson, Miranda, Powell, Muriqi – Boxing News
Bronx, NY – The year 2009 is finally here and if it is anything like 2008, Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing is in for yet another extremely busy year in the boxing world. Whether it was exciting sold out shows, major signings, or watching our fighters climb the ladder in the world ratings, Star Boxing had it all, including having two of its top fighters being named to Dan Rafael’s ESPN.com, Top Prospects of 2008 list. Below is a brief break down of the Star Boxing Roster and what they accomplished this past year.
Latimore Stops Powell
By Michael Lieberman: In a shocking upset, number #1 ranked IBF junior middleweight Sechew Powell (23-2, 14 KOs) was stopped in the 7th round of a scheduled 10-round bout by Deandre Latimore (19-1, 16 KOs) on Wednesday night at the Hard Rock Times Square, in New York City, New York. Powell, 29, appeared to underestimate the quality and tenacity of his opponent, the 22 year-old Latimore, who fought him hard from the first round, making Powell fight much harder than perhaps he expected.

By Nate Anderson: Last Friday night, light middleweight contender Sechew Powell (23-1, 14 KOs) overwhelmed opponent Kevin Finley (12-1-1, 9 KOs), whom he stopped in the 1st round at the Paragon Casino & Resort, in Marksville, Louisiana. My question is this: Is Powell as good as he looked against Finley, a fighter who had never fought anyone close as good as Powell, or is Powell only as good as he looked in a 10-round unanimous decision lost to Kassim Ouma in August 2006?
