The Sweet Science: Boxing

Multiple sources have advised BoxingScene.com that a heavyweight bout between Luis Ortiz (23-0, 20KOs) - who scored a 3rd round stoppage of Matias Vidondo on this past weekend's card at the Madison Square Garden - and Bryant Jennings (19-1, 10KOs) has been consummated for December 19th on a 'Boxing After Dark' card on HBO from the Turning Stone Casino in Verona, New York.

Ortiz-Jennings was previously being pushed for last Saturday's HBO Pay-Per-View undercard for Gennady Golovkin vs. David Lemieux, but the two sides were unable to reach an agreement and the Ortiz instead went with Vidondo.

In beating Vidondo, Ortiz picked up the WBA's interim-heavyweight title.

Jennings was last seen going the distance with a respectable effort against heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko on April 25th.

The word is that former featherweight champion Nicholas Walters will co-headline this card, likely against Jason Sosa.
 
WBA “regular” super welterweight champion Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara (21-2-2, 12 KOs) will defend his title against former world champion Jan Zaveck (35-3, 19 KOs) on ESPN November 25 from Hialeah Park Racing and Casino in Miami. “I’m very excited to be defending my title in my hometown of Miami,” said Lara. “Getting in the ring with a former world champion and an experienced fighter like Jan Zaveck is something I’m very much looking forward to. On November 25 I will put on a show for all my fans and especially all my Cuban fans watching on ESPN.”

After his November homecoming was cancelled, it’s looking increasingly likely that Russian WBA/WBO/IBF light heavyweight champion, Sergey Kovalev, will rematch Canada’s Jean Pascal on Jan. 30 instead.

The plan is for the Pascal rematch to be the first of a 3-fight schedule that will culminate in a clash with Oakland’s unbeaten P4P star Andre Ward, later next year – himself set to embark on a similar deal on HBO, ostensibly beginning on next month’s Cotto/Canelo undercard.

Speaking to ESPN.com, Kovalev’s promoter Kathy Duva insisted that in an ideal world Pascal would have fought WBC champion, Adonis Stevenson, with the winner then facing Kovalev, although according to the Main Events CEO, it is once again Stevenson’s camp who have refused to play ball.

“We tried very hard, through [Pascal’s promoters] Jean Bedard and Pierre Duc of InterBox during recent weeks, to come to an agreement for [ Adonis] Stevenson to fight Pascal in December or January, and for the winner to fight Sergey in the spring of 2016,” she said.

“Sadly, [Saturday’s] deadline has passed without acceptance from the Stevenson [team], so Sergey and Pascal must move on, and we are now talking about Sergey versus Pascal II in January.”

Stevenson’s promoter Yvon Michel claimed that they were not in a position to accept or decline the offer from Main Events within the given timeframe, and that they will seek to keep Adonis busy while he does indeed looks to face the winner of Kov/Pascal II, sometime next year.

Kovalev previously stopped Pascal inside 8 rounds back in March. A site for the January rematch is still to be determined.

Fight Night!!!! One of the most talented boxers in the world, Terence Crawford (26-0 18ko's),defends his light welterweight championship belt vs Dierry Jean (29-1 20ko's)

If Crawford wins this, and he should, while looking really good. They said Pacquiao might be up next, and he'd mop Manny across the ring...

Here's the full Fonfara-Cleverley bout. Fight of the Year candidate. PBC Signed a deal to put fights on Fox in 2016 the other day too (More good free fights)

Manny Pacquiao would get punished by Terrence Crawford, April 9th... That's supposed to be his last fight.. Crawford could send him out on a stretcher..


He'd get floored a bunch and the ref would have to step in. If they want to milk his career, Arum won't let that fight happen..


It'd probably look a bit like..

PBC is also uploading all of their fights to their youtube channel, so that's where I was able to see this fight, as well as Kono vs Kameda which was a travesty of a fight because of the ref. That dude sucked turnbuckle so hard.

I liked F vs C, but their lack of power gave me pause when referring to this bout as FOTY. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it but I'm just not sold.

Anyway, I just learned that I RSVP'd yes to a friends 40th on 11/21. **** me. I'll prolly be leaving early.

Also, dude, I posted in the podcast thread but I doubt you go in there. Anyway, do you listen to The Ropes podcast with Brian Campbell and Rafe Bartholomew? It's really ****ing good.

No I'll check it out though. I like Rap, and Boxings a poor mans sport, so I get my boxing news off of.. 'urban sites'


I think Mayweather will come out of retirement btw. He's 49-0 like Rocky Marciano, he will want to beat that and go out 50-0... Kinda think he might go after the winner of Canelo-Cotto..

Yeah, man, I get it. This is the last episode a few days before the GGG fight:

They are a great combo...pretty fun too.
 
Damn.. Andre "S.O.G" Ward has withdrawn from his Nov. 21st (on the Canelo-Cotto card) bout due to swelling in his Knee(probably BS). Some actually argue he's the pound-for-pound champ, dude's had 1 fight since November 2013... His opponent Aleksander Brand took the fight on 3 weeks notice...

"He hasn't been able to get the swelling under control, and it has prohibited him from training the way he needs to," the source said. "It's nothing serious, but the fight is in two weeks, and everyone had to make a decision."

@RagingBabe
Sounds like it was a mutual decision between fighter (Ward) and promoter (Roc Nation). #boxing

@RagingBabe
I'm told that indeed Ward is off #CottoCanelo card. Roc Nation is working to get him his own date on HBO and better opposition. #boxing

@RagingBabe
To my understanding, Roc Nation will then be able to put full marketing & strong promotion behind Ward when he gets his own date. #boxing
