Back in the ring with Sonya

Girlboxing friend Sonya “The Scholar” Lamonakis won a tough hard-fought battle last night against Tanzee Daniels at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods Resort, Mashantucket, Connecticut. This brings her record to 7-0-2. Two judges scored the bout 59-55 with the third scoring it 57-57. Steve Smoger was the referee and as Sonya put it he told her “it’s an honor to work your fight.” Sonya of course was thinking the opposite, feeling all the more humbled because Smoger was set to ref the Edwin Rodriguez-Jason Escalera main event.
Humble is par for the course with Sonya who busts her butt all day teaching kids she loves up in Harlem before humping it to the gym to put in all the hours she needs to work out the stuff from the day and keep herself on the path towards her goal: a women’s heavyweight title, and hey why not, an actual chance to show her stuff on HBO on something other than an undercard bout that doesn’t get aired. Last night was tougher though. Sonya has been through two bouts in the ring that were both ruled a draw by the judges. This past June she fought Tiffany Woodard with the scores 56-58, 58-56 & 57-57 and in January she fought Carlette Ewell with the same spread. In the midst of it all, Sonya has been fighting through issues in her corner that led her to rethink her training style and to take on perhaps the toughest fight of all — seeing her way clear to the changes she needed to make to get herself back on track with a win. Well, if she had any doubts they were dispelled last night. More than anything though, stepping back into the ring meant that she was going to fight through it all no matter what the outcome. That kind of courage is was makes boxing the sport that it is. A sport where each fighter truly puts herself or himself on the line. For the moment, Sonya is slated for a WBF heavyweight title fight this coming December in Australia against Lisa Marie Vizaniari (5-0, 2 KOs). Knowing Sonya, she’ll work like crazy and then work some more to get into the kind of shape she’ll need for the win and the title. Along the way, she’ll throw us all lot of inspiration as we watch her suck back the tough things in life to bring it all into the ring, but then again, that’s Sonya.

WBC Super Bantamweight title

Yésica Marcos tiene rival para la defensa de sus dos cinturones

El reloj comenzó a consumir horas para la campeona mundial Yésica Patricia Marcos (19-0-1, 6KO) quien el 6 de octubre, en el teatro griego Juan Pablo II de San Martín, defenderá los cinturones OMB regular y AMB interino ante la retadora colombiana Dayana Cordero (9-2-0, 7KO). Este combate marcará la reaparición de la licencia número uno del boxeo profesional femenino de Mendoza, quien en su última presentación del 16 de marzo venció catedráticamente a la norteamericana Ana Julaton, en lo que fue, además de la unificación del cetro de la Organización Mundial de Boxeo, la mejor pelea de la historia del pugilismo de damas en nuestro país. Para esta pelea ante Cordero, el técnico del Bombón Asesino, Martín Díaz, ideó una preparación súper intensiva, por lo que él y la campeona mundial ya se encuentran instalados en Tunuyán realizando una concentración de 15 días. A la misma se sumaron Erica Farías, campeona mundial liviano del Consejo, y las pupilas de Julio Pablo Chacón Betiana Viñas, que además peleará en la misma velada, y Jennifer Roldán, quienes harán de sparrings de la Yesi en sus sesiones de guanteo. La semana próxima se sumarán a este equipo de trabajo las hermanas cordobesas, e integrantes de la selección nacional femenina, Leonela y Dayana Sánchez, algo que les servirá a Marcos y Díaz para ampliar el espectro de variables de cara a las posibles propuestas de combate que pueda llegar a traer Cordero desde Colombia. Marcos, en su estadía en el Valle de Uco, se moverá en el gimnasio de Pablo Manzanita Estrella y en el complejo de cabañas donde se hospeda junto con el equipo, el cual ha sido acondicionado especialmente para sus rutinas de trabajo. Por su parte, Dayana Cordero, quien peleará por segunda vez por título mundial, llega a Mendoza tras vencer a su compatriota Yoleima Blanco. Previo a esa pelea, la Tigresa cayó por KOT5 ante la pampeana y campeona superligero AMB/CMB Mónica Acosta.

WBO JR WELTERWEIGHT CLASH-BAM BAM RIOS VS MILE HIGH MIKE--TITLE ELIMINATOR

Alright my BOXINGHEAD Brothers and Sisters Oct 13th is drawing near us and this big so called (Fight of The Year). The very skilled Bam Bam Rios is moving up in weight and is taking on fist of steel 'MIGHTY' Mile High Mike. This bout is the undercard of the Toshiaki/Donaire fight which is going to be at the Home Depot Center out in Carson Cali. I say that this fight could be the main event and not a undercard bout on any other Saturday night, but that's me talking, anyways this fight has been stirring up a whole lot of noise in the boxing world. You have Brandon Rios ( 30 - 0 - 1 ) 22 ko's who is coming into this fight as the heavy favorite agaist Mike Alvarado ( 33 - 0 ) 23 ko's the IBF Latino Light WelterWeight Champion. I have no idea why some people are putting Mile High Mike as the underdog in this match, I mean I have no IDEA! The kid has won 10 of his last 13 fights by KO. He is a good size WelterWeight standing 5' 11" with a 72 inch reach, you may think what's 2 inches, well 2 inches is alot when your in the ring both by height and by reach. If you use it to your advantage. Alvarado's last fight was a UD win over Mauricio Herrera back in April and before that we all remember that bad A$$ 10rd TKO win over Breidis Prescott way back in Nov 2011. I don't know what Rios game plan is going to be but he needs to be careful if he decides to stand toe-2-toe with Alvarado because Mile High is bigger and will land the harder punches forsure. Mike is the type of boxer that likes to come at you and put it to you hard. I feel that he is a very, very underrated boxer that has talent, yes he may like to rally back like he did in some of his previous matches but he did and he came out victorious. The kid is just plain out just a good A$$ boxer period!! Now this is his time to get his shine on!, this is the biggest fight of his career and has the opportunity to show the world his skills on HBO Boxing After Dark against Bam Bam Rios. Now let's turn to Bam Bam, Rios is coming off a very, very controversial (I MEAN RIDICLOUS TYPE OF CONTROVERSIAL) win over Richard Abril back in April. I saw that fight it was a bad SD call by the judges (ONCE AGAIN) the win should have went to Abril. Rios had luck on his side that night but it was a good fight and Rios fought good. That fight is the past and now is now! #BAM!! Before the Abril fight Rios had 4 TKO wins in a row, winning the WBA LightWeight Title but later being stripped of it for not making weight. Rios has got skills (BABY) his defense is his offense. Rios likes to fight more than box he will come at you the same way Mile High does. Bam Bam is going to be a player in the game no matter what weight class he is in. the kid has good footwork and his whereabouts in the ring is great. I am hoping this fight will live up to all the hype. I really don't like the way some of the inside boxing sport bloggers/writers are calling this fight to be a bloody massacre 'LOL' DAMN I want to call them out so bad, and for Rios and some of the so called high profile boxing analysis calling this fight to be compared to " GATTI VS WARD " straright out crazy! this is Magic Mike's take on that 1) HIGHLY DISRESPECTFUL 2) PLAIN OUT SHAME ON YOU FOR JUST EVEN COMPARING YOURSELF TO THOSE TWO WARRIOR/LEGENDS 3) (F-ING) FIGHT HASN'T EVEN HAPPENED YET) and 4) IF YA'LL KNOW SO MUCH GO AHEAD AND GIVE ME THE WINNING NUMBERS FOR THAT NIGHTS LOTTO DRAWING) excuess me, just that Magic Mike just don't like " GATTI-WARD " comparisons.

Malpartida retains title!

Saturday night at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California WBA super featherweight champion Kina Malpartida (11-3, 3 KOs) retained her title with a unanimous decision win over English challenger Lyndsey Scragg (10-2, 3 KOs). Malpartida made what seemed like it should be an easy fight hard by not utilizing her height and reach advantage. Scragg tried to get inside but continuously ate straight right hands from the champion. Scragg finally was able to land a counter left hook and dropped Malpartida in the sixth round but it was too little and the judges scored the fight 98-91, 98-91 ad 97-92 for Malpartida.

Filipino pugs down Mexican foes in Pinoy Pride

MANILA, Philippines – Led by the revenge-minded Jason “El Niño” Pagara, Filipino boxers conquered their visiting Mexican opponents in Pinoy Pride XV: The Rematch Saturday afternoon at the Waterfront Hotel and Casino in Cebu City. According to a Phil Boxing report, Pagara defeated Mexico’s Rosbel “Lobito” Montoya via sixth round technical knockout in their rematch to win the World Boxing Organization (WBO) international light welterweight title.
It was sweet revenge for Pagara, who lost to Montoya last September after the Mexican gave him a lesson in counter-punching. This time, Pagara made sure there was no doubt as he knocked down the Mexican in the very first round with hard body shots. Though Montoya recovered, Pagara remained aggressive and continued to work the body very well. Montoya went down for good in the sixth round, as he could no longer keep up with the faster Pagara. His counter-punching was also less effective than it was last year against the Filipino. Pagara’s record improved to 29 wins, two losses, with 18 wins by knockout, while Montoya dropped to 36-5-1, with 30 knockouts. In the undercard, Genesis “Azukal” Servania battered Jorge “El Feroz” Pazos for 12 rounds en route to a wide points victory. Servania knocked Pazos down in the first round, eighth round and again in the 11th to win with scores of 118-107 on all scorecards, earning the vacant WBO Asia-Pacific super bantamweight title. PhilBoxing reported that Pazos was sent to a local hospital for observation but was conscious and coherent. Servania remained unbeaten with a record of 19-0, with six wins coming by knockout. Pazos dropped to 21-4. Jimrex “The Executioner” Jaca knocked out Angel “Arcangel” Martinez in the eighth and final round. Jaca had registered knockdowns in the third and seventh round before putting down Martinez for good late in the eighth.

Boxing's Pound-for-Pound Power Rankings: The Top 25

To compose this list I canvassed for top 25 pound-for-pound lists from a wide number of Bleacher Report Boxing columnists and writers. I felts that this slideshow would be more interesting if it represented an editorial consensus instead of just one writer's opinion. Ultimately, I was assisted with lists from Bleacher Report Boxing Community Leader King J, Bleacher Report Boxing Columnist Zach Alapi and Bleacher Report Boxing Writer Dave Carlson. To round out my editorial board with a hardcore fan's perspective, I also recruited my buddy, Adam, who grew up in Staten Island in the 1970s and has been a boxing fan for about 40 years. While I would ideally do this experiment with a larger group of voters, five was enough to get a feel for when individual opinions are evolving into genuine trends. Almost everyone's list had the same top six fighters.There was fairly wide agreement on the fighters who generally rank from about No. 7 to No. 12, and from about No. 13 or 14 to No. 17 or 18. Not surprisingly, the widest amount of variety occurred from about No. 17 or 18 down through No. 25. In cases where fighters were tied on number of points, I gave preference to the fighter who appeared on more ballots.

Rodriguez Dominates Escalera, Calls out Pavlik

The MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT hosted the fall premiere of HBO’s “Boxing After Dark” series Saturday night. In the main event, undefeated super middleweight Edwin “La Bomba” Rodriguez stayed that way by stopping super game Jason Escalera in round eight. Rodriguez (22-0, 15 KOs) came out fast. His right hand found Escalera’s body and chin a dozen times in the first two minutes of the round. Escalera, who lost for the first in his career, wobbled around the ring. He fired a few punches in return, but continued to eat right hands. Rodriguez fought more controlled in round two. The resilient Escalera (13-1, 12 KOs) did a little better, but Rodriguez continued to land his right to the body. Rodriguez found a home for his left hook in round four. At the end of round five, Rodriguez caught Escalera with a huge right hand on the temple. Escalera staggered against the ropes. Rodriguez continued to land hard punches in rounds six and seven. At the end of the seventh stanza, referee Steve Smoger eyed Escalera closely. The young fighter was hurting. Twelve seconds into round eight, referee Smoger stopped the bout after a Rodriguez left hook cut Escalera‘s ear.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr: Rematch with Martinez Would End in Knockout

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is speaking pretty boldly for a guy who lost all but 90 seconds of his fight with Sergio Martinez. In fact, he has a promise for the new middleweight champion, should a rematch take place. "I would knock him out in the rematch," Chavez Jr. told BoxingScene.com's Jhonny Gonzalez. The prediction is bold, but not outlandish. Chavez Jr. did knock down and badly hurt Martinez in the final round of their September 15th middleweight championship fight. It led many to speculate whether Chavez Jr. would have been able to finish the job if he had begun his attack earlier in the fight and not allowed Sergio to control the distance and potshot him from the outside. Despite the near knockout, Martinez won a clear-cut unanimous decision on the scorecards. If it weren't for the drama in the final seconds, there would likely be no market for a second fight. It was, up to that point, one of the most decisive outcomes in a big fight in boxing history. Chavez Jr. also tested positive for marijuana in the post-fight drug tests. That, combined with reports about his lackluster commitment to training, led many to speculate he didn't really take the fight seriously. It has become something of a regular issue in the Chavez camp. He's a fighter with obvious talent, but his immaturity and lack of commitment could cause him to not reach his full potential. Martinez has stated his willingness to accept a rematch sometime next year. Despite being the victor in the fight, he seems determined to send an even stronger message in the rematch. He appears stung by the public perception that he survived a fight he had, up to that point, dominated.
