The Mail Pouch A La McGarry |
|
By William Trillo
It was nice to get an email today from one of our faithful
readers, David McGarry. Although David is more prone to coming
in here and telling everyone I am like a blind squirrel in the
woods who luckily stumbles across a nut now and then, this time
David wrote a bit about Vitali Klitschko’s title defense against
Dereck Chisora this weekend. We are happy to post his thoughts:
Dear William,
As you probably know, Vitali Klitschko defends his WBC title on
Saturday against Dereck Chisora. Promotion of this fight has
been so low key, you might not be aware of it. On paper, this is
hardly surprising as Chisora has a 15-2 record with 9 knockouts
and he lost two of his three fights in 2011.

Gonzales: "Stevenson Is A piece Of Sh*t!" |
|
By Daniel Cloutier
In a radio interview given in Montréal on Wednesday afternoon,
the American boxer Jesus "El Martillo" Gonzales attacked Adonis
Stevenson’s criminal past. "About 15 years ago, Stevenson spent
four years in jail, for criminal activities involving street
gangs. This Haitian street gang was forcing juvenile girls to be
prostitutes, and some girls accused members of the gang of
rape," said Gonzales.
"If you robbed a bank because you are extremely poor, or if you
killed somebody by self defense, you deserve to get a pardon,
but it is an another thing when you are raping teenagers and
forcing them to become prostitutes,' said Gonzales. "I can not
have any kind of respect for Stevenson. He is a piece of shit!"

MMA Fighter Cody Huard
Ready For First Boxing Match |
|
By Barbara Pinnella
It is often bantered about that currently the MMA and UFC are
more exciting to those mainly younger viewers, particularly
males, than boxing. That demographic goes more for the bigger
attacks and damage done in that arena than the squared circle.
The sweet science is sour and boring for many.
I recently spoke with young MMA fighter, Cody “Crazy Legs”
Huard, and he gave an interesting perspective, one that boxing
aficionados might find promising. First, a bit of information on
Huard. He has been training for about six years now, since he
was 14. As soon as he was old enough, he turned professional. He
has a 4-1 record as a pro, and that loss came by decision.

A Prospective on Mayweather’s Comments |
|
By William Trillo & Charles Presnell
Forward: Quite frankly I was going to let the latest
“Pretty Boy” comments go by without saying a thing. Personally I
have had it with his verbal lunacy and hate to give him the time
of day. I had a couple of idea’s that included artwork, Floyd
Is In An Ass Wipe, etc. But I just couldn’t do it. Then I
received this email from one of our contributors, Charles
Presnell, and I thought I would run this finely crafted piece
for both Mayweather haters and lovers alike. Take it away
Charles…
So tonight I logged onto the internet where my front-page had a
feature article regarding Floyd Mayweather’s comments on Jeremy
Lin. Rarely these days does a statement by a boxer, even Floyd
Mayweather, make to the front-page of the website I choose to
open up to first so I decided to read the article. It makes it
especially dicey when the headline reads, “Boxing Star Rips on
NBA Phenom.” Upon opening up the article I read the Tweet from
Money stating, “”Jeremy Lin is a good player, but all the hype
is because he is Asian. Black players do what he does every
night and don’t get the same praise.” After reading the Tweet, I
did not feel like Mayweather was “ripping” on Jeremy Lin. I sat
there and examined the comment a little and broke it down a
little and drew my conclusions on what exactly he was saying.

Cloutier's Canada Corner
Adonis Stevenson: "My plan? Win by KO!" |
|
By Daniel Cloutier
Montréal -Adonis Stevenson, a southpaw from Montréal, is ready
for the biggest challenge and the most important boxing bout of
his career. Saturday evening in the ring of the Bell Centre
Theater, Stevenson (16-1-0) will face the American Jesus
Gonzales (27-1-0) in a elimination bout for position number two
in the IBF ratings. The winner should participate in an IBF
super middleweight championship of the world this year.
"It is for sure the biggest challenge of my career, the most
important fight of my life," said Stevenson this afternoon,
after a public training session in a gym in Longueuil, a south
suburb of Montréal. "Some people believe that my preparation is
"so so", because my new trainer, Emmanuel Steward, was in
Austria to work with the Klitschko’s brothers. But the Emmanuel
Steward assistants at the Kronk Gym in Detroit, did a great job
to prepare me properly since two months. And the work at the
Kronk Gym is real. It’s intense day after day. Some tough boxers
from Detroit told me that I am the only Canadian boxer who can
survive day after day at the Kronk Gym. I know that I am enough
tough to fight the biggest names in the super middleweight. And
I need that tough work. I am only two wins away from the IBF
world championship. It is no joke."

Ifs
IF Bob Arum and Top Rank think they are doing
anyone any favors by offering Manny Pacquioa vs. Timothy
Bradley in Las Vegas on June 9th to “Sin-City” high
rollers & PPV customers only, they are gravely mistaken.
IF the promoters don’t want to admit it someone
has to. Boxing is threatening to become a niche sport
and it desperately needs to build a new fan base.
IF the two biggest stars in boxing, Pacquiao and

Bute vs. Froch? Not On May 5th |

By Daniel Cloutier
Yesterday "Le Journal de Montréal" ran an article about IBF
Super Middleweight Champ Lucian Bute and his next opponent.
According to David Messier, InterBox Public Relations
representative, "We don’t have any deal or agreement with Ed
Hearn for the fight Bute vs. Froch in Nottingham May 5th. A
fight with Bute/Froch in England May 5th is not logical. We have
a date for April 14th in Montréal and we still want to get Carl
Froch for that event. We are still waiting for his answer. But
May 5th seems illogical because two of the most popular fighters
in the world, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Miguel Cotto, will fight
that night in Las Vegas. All the attention of the boxing fans in
the world will be focused on Las Vegas. We have until March 9th
to hear back, then we make a decision."

Mitchell Romps To Victory, Saunders Impresses
On Debut, Buglioni Goes The Distance |

Photos & Report by Gianluca
(Rio) Di Caro
Mighty Kevin Mitchell made a welcome
return to the ring on Friday night, when he took on
Spain based Dominican Felix Lora in a ten round
non-championship bout in front of a packed house at York
Hall in Bethnal Green.
The Dagenham Destroyer seemed unfazed that the bout was
touted as just a warm up bout, ahead of a summer
showdown with WBO Lightweight World Champion Ricky
Burns, as Mitchell seemed almost as fired up as he was
when he faced John Murray back last year.

Adrien Broner – "I’m Gonna Shine On Feb. 25" |
|
By Barbara Pinnella
Call him “The Problem,” call him The “CAN Man,” it matters not.
All that matters is that Adrien Broner has had a successful
professional career thus far. The talented 22-year-old has a
record of 22-0 with 18 KOs. Ten of those wins have come in the
first round. On Feb. 25 he will not only be tested by another
undefeated fighter, but will make his first title defense of his
WBO super featherweight title.
Eloy Perez is 23-0-2 with 7 KOs. But make no mistake, Broner is
not concerned. In typical Adrien fashion he said, “After Feb. 25
they’ll be one undefeated fighter – Adrien “The Problem” Broner!
“He’s a good fighter,” Broner continued. “He’s the number one
contender, and he’s not in that position for no reason. He’s
gonna come to fight, but he’s not the solution to this Problem.”

Price became the mandatory challenger to Fury's British belt
when he won the English heavyweight title with a 73 second

disappointed Team Price by vacating his titles.
"Chicken Fury was going to get the biggest pay of his career to
