WelshDevilRob Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Eric Armit’s The Past Week in Action 11 August 2015 Fight reports from around the globe, from Colombia to Italy and the USA to Japan and all in between. Your weekly one-stop for all fight results and reports. August 6 Los Angeles, CA, USA: Feather: Abraham Lopez (19-0-1) W TKO 9 Jorge Diaz (18-4-1). Super Bantam: Roy Tapia (11-0-2) W KO 3 Juan Luis Hernandez (18-6-1). Lopez vs. Diaz Lopez gets stoppage win over useful Diaz. Diaz came out pressing the action in the first only for a right from Lopez to put him off balance and down on one knee for a flash knockdown. Lopez had the strength and was the harder puncher but Diaz boxed well finding the target regularly with his rights. However Lopez was bossing the fight and landing the harder punches and slowly draining the energy out of Diaz. Lopez landed some vicious uppercuts in the seventh and although Diaz was still finding gaps with his counters he was not able to stop Lopez walking through his jab and dominating. It was all one way in the eighth and ninth with Diaz just soaking up punishment and between the referee and Diaz’s corner they decided that it was over at the end of that ninth round. “Chamaco” Lopez, 27, now has 14 wins by KO/TKO. He has beaten Gerardo Espinoza, Gabriel Tolmajyan and Alfred Tetteh and his draw was with Juan Carlos Martinez so a reasonable level of opposition to aid his development. Diaz, 27, a former US Under-19 champion, won his first 15 fights but is 3-4-1 in his last 8 as the opposition had gotten tougher Tapia vs. Hernandez Read more: Eric Armit’s The Past Week in Action 11 August 2015 - - Boxing News - Ring News24 Edited August 11, 2015 by WelshDevilRob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 re: Eric Armit’s Past Week and Snips and Snipes latest Articles Wow, that's some writeup ! I dunno who Eric Armit is, but I have one suggestion for him: Seeing as there is a TON of info there, and a lot of those fights are probably beyond the desire and/or available time for the average fan to digest (Myself included!) It would be great if he could mention which of them are the top 2-3 "must watch" bouts. - Or maybe just put an asterisk next to them. This would make it easier for a typical North American or Euro fan (Such as us shallow Americans) to experience something new in small doses, instead of just eyes glazing over, and turning the page. - Kinda' like how @Iamasadlittleboy only reports on the really interesting / important bouts from Japan.

Somehow that does not ring true. Over his career Mayweather has been a massive talent and had the ego to match. Taking that into account what great athlete in any sport has ever said that he would be happy to equal an all-time record but had no interest in beating it. Proving you’re the best is what elite athletes are all about and if Mayweather settles for equaling Rocky Marciano’s record that will haunt him for the rest of his life. Of course there is another reason why Floyd is saying this is his last fight. Put simply there is no other way to market the fight. Andre Berto is a good fighter. Not great but good, but not good enough for a fight with Mayweather to be attractive on its own. The only thing that makes Mayweather vs. Berto saleable is the “Floyd’s last fight” tag. I understand that ticket sales etc. have been sluggish and without that last fight tag they would be a lot worse than sluggish.

WelshDevilRob Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 Re: Eric Armit’s Past Week and Snips and Snipes latest Articles Eric Armit's The Past Week In Action 20 October 2015 http://www.ringnews24.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Lee-Selby-vs-Fernando-Montiel.jpg Comprehensive round-up of fight results from around the globe. From USA to Australia and South Africa to Russia and all inbetween. October 14 Glendale, AZ, USA: Feather: Lee Selby (22-1) W PTS 12 Fernando Montiel (54-5-2). Welter: Aaron Martinez (20-4-1) W PTS 10 Devon Alexander (26-4). Super Light: Ivan Redkach (19-1) W KO 3 Eric Martinez (11-3-1). Cruiser: Lionell Thompson (16-3) W TKO 2 Thomas Hanshaw (6-7). Super Bantam: Alexis Santiago (20-3-1) W PTS 8 Gustavo Molina (20-9). Selby vs. Montiel Selby retains his IBF title with a wide unanimous verdict over Montiel and it may be an indication of his progress that he was disappointed with his performance against a future Hall of Fame fighter, Selby edged the first outscoring Montiel but already the Mexican veteran was getting home with some meaty left hooks. The second was close with Selby working the jab and although scoring not being as accurate as usual and Montiel aggressive in spurts. Selby had a good third. He shook Montiel with a right and seemed to have scored a knockdown when Montiel’s glove brushed the canvas after another accurate right but it was ruled a slip. The fourth also went to Selby as he was able to counter effectively as Montiel tried to increase his work rate. The challenger had success in the fifth with his quick rushes inside and bunches of left hooks. Things continued to go Montiel’s way in the six. He rocked Selby with an uppercut and dug in some more left hooks and after a clash of heads Selby was showing a cut over his right eye. The seventh and eighth could have been scored for either fighter but Montiel just had the edge again on the basis of his series of left hooks. Selby then took over the fight in the ninth and tenth scoring well with rights against a tiring Montiel and although he tumbled to the canvas after missing a wild punch in the tenth he was again getting home telling rights. Montiel tried to rally in the eleventh but this time it was left hooks from Selby that caught the eye. Montiel put everything into the early part of the last until a right from Selby stopped him in his tracks. Scores 119-109, 118-110 and 116-112 all for Selby. First defence of his IBF title for Welshman Selby. The result was booed by a heavily pro-Montiel crowd but Selby was a clear winner even if some of the scoring was a bit harsh on Montiel. The 27-year-old champion was disappointed with his own performance as he was looking to make a big impression on his first USA fight and may have been trying too hard. Montiel, 36, a three-division champion, is 17-4 in world title fights so has a wealth of experience and had won his last 8 fights mainly against a good level of opposition. It could mean retirement for Montiel although the lure of a title in a fourth division may still be strong. Alexander vs. Martinez This was supposed to be a way of getting Alexander a rebuilding win but Martinez had other ideas and took a well deserved unanimous decision. Alexander started like the favourite using his better boxing and strong southpaw jab to counter the forward marching Martinez. The second was also Alexander’s but only just. From the third Martinez was walking through Alexander’s leads, putting his head on Alexander’s shoulder and working inside. The fight had changed and instead of trying to keep Martinez out or work inside Alexander started holding and wrestling and was already looking dispirited as the fight degenerated into a brawl with the crowd booing the lack of action. Alexander should have expected this type of fight as Martinez fought the same fight as he did in losing a split decision to Robert Guerrero in June. With the fight constantly in close heads were banging together and Alexander was cut over his right eye in the seventh. The cut unsettled Alexander enough for him to complain about the blood running into his eye with his trainer threatening to pull him out of the fight if he continued to complain. Martinez shook Alexander with a left hook early in the eighth and a left hook as the round ended. Mexican Martinez continued to outwork the former champion in the ninth but with a big effort getting Alexander the tenth but it was not enough. Scores 97-93 twice and 96-94 for Martinez. The 33-year-old Martinez had been halted in five rounds by Josesito Lopez and outpointed by Guerrero in his last two fights but this win puts him line for some good paydays. Former WBC and IBF super light and IBF welter champion Alexander, 28, was having his first fight since losing a wide unanimous verdict to Amir Khan in December. That inactivity had seen him drop out of all of the ratings and now it his him with back-to-back losses to overcome and not Martinez. Alexander thought he won this one so will box on.

WelshDevilRob Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Re: Eric Armit’s Past Week and Snips and Snipes latest Articles Eric Armit's The Past Week In Action 10 November 2015 http://www.ringnews24.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Timothy-Bradley-vs-Brandon-Rios.jpg A comprehensive look at the recent fights from around the globe. From Russia to the UK and Japan to Las Vegas. Kazan, Russia: Heavy: Alex Povetkin (30-1) W TKO 12 Mariusz Wach (31-2). Cruiser: Denis Lebedev (28-2) W TKO 8 Lateef Kayode (21-1,1ND). Super Light: Eduard Troyanovsky (23-0) W TKO 6 Cesar Cuenca (48-1). Cruiser: Ola Afolabi (22-4-4) W KO 5 Rakhim Chakhkiev (24-2). Cruiser: Olanrewaju Durodola (22-2) W TKO 2 Dmitry Kudryashov (18-1). Welter: Viskhan Murzabekov (12-0) W KO 3 Solomon Bogere (13-3-2). Light Heavy: Dmitry Bivol (5-0) W TKO 4 Jackson Junior (19-5,1ND). Povetkin vs. Wach Povetkin gets late stoppage win after a left hook splits open a cut below the left eye of Wach in the last round. It was far from being an exciting fight. Wach’s only real weapons were his height and his long left jab. Povetkin was quicker and cleverer and was able to duck under the prodded jab and get inside to land left hooks to the body and overhand rights. Wach was warned about holding over the first two rounds as he tried to stifle Povetkin’s work inside. The pattern never really varied with Wach being a bit more adventurous in the fourth and fifth but Povetkin continually moving inside and getting off two or three quick punches. Because of the pattern of the fight there were very few prolonged exchanges. Povetkin picked up the pace in the seventh and Wach was looking more intent on survival than winning. There was a brief break in the action in the tenth when a left hook from Povetkin landed very low and Wach was given some recovery time. Povetkin was doing the scoring in the eleventh but not really hurting or shaking Wach and it looked as though the fight would go the distance. That changed when a left hook from Povetkin opened a gash under the left eye of Wach. The referee had the doctor tale a look and the fight was stopped as the cut was ruled to be too bad for Wach to continue. Povetkin, 36, retains his WBC Silver title and as expected will have to wait for his mandatory shot at Deontay Wilder as the WBC have given permission for Wilder to have a third voluntary defence. Povetkin was never going to look good against Wach but he got the job down. “The Viking” Wach although 6’7 ½” is no real preparation for a Wilder fight as his arsenal is limited and his jab lacks the power of Wilder’s but in fairness this is the first time the 35-year-old Pole has lost inside the distance.

WelshDevilRob Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 Re: Eric Armit’s Past Week and Snips and Snipes latest Articles Eric Armit's The Past Week In Action 24 November 2015 http://www.ringnews24.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Guillermo-Rigondeaux-vs-DrianFrancisco.jpg Comprehensive round-up of results, with reports on fights from the USA, UK, Japan, Panama and many more. November 20 Las Vegas, NV, USA: Super Middle: Gilberto Ramirez (33-0) W PTS 10 Gevorg Khatchikian (23-2). Welter: Konstantin Ponomarev (29-0) W PTS 8 Ramses Agaton (17-3-3).Light: Saul Rodriguez (19-0-1) W TKO 1 Ivan Najera (16-2). Super Feather: Toka Kahn Clary (17-0,1ND) W RTD 2 Sergio Lopez (19-10-1). Super Feather: Casey Ramos (21-0) W PTS 8 Adones Aguelo (24-13-2). Light Heavy: Olek Gvozdyk (8-0) W TKO 3 Cleiton Conceicao (22-7-2). Ramirez vs. Khatchikian Ramirez stays on track for a world title shot with a wide unanimous decision over the strong and awkward Khatchikian. The tall Mexican was coming forward behind his southpaw jab and forcing Khatchikian on to the back foot. Khatchikian had a bag of tricks as he moved around with his hands at his thighs with exaggerated upper body movement then leapt in with wild swings. Over the first three rounds although Ramirez was doing most of the scoring as he hunted down the retreating Khatchikian he was getting caught too often with those wild rights. From the fourth the Mexican stepped-up the pace and began to bombard Khatchikian with hard right hooks to the body. Khatchikian had been trying to box in spurts but now Ramirez was forcing him to keep on the move and under pressure for three minutes in every round. Despite his domination of the fight Ramirez never really managed to shake Khatchikian or get him in serious trouble and Khatchikian was again getting through with the occasional rights. Ramirez turned the heat up even more over the ninth and tenth but Khatchikian took the punishment and made it to the final bell. Scores 100-90 twice and 99-91 for Ramirez. He retains his NABF and WBO International titles and is rated WBO 1/WBC 2/WBA 2/IBF 3(2). If he goes for the WBO title it will be interesting to see whether there is enough money on offer to tempt Arthur Abraham to fight outside Germany. Dutch-based Armenian Khatchikian, the EBU No 12, had lost in eleven rounds against James DeGale in a fight for the WBC Silver title in March 2014 and had then won three low level fights in Holland.

The_budweiser Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Re: Eric Armit’s Past Week and Snips and Snipes latest Articles I don’t like looking back so I will look forward to the fights I would like to see in 2016 of course only with the help and permission of TV, Promoters and sanctioning bodies! At heavyweight Tyson Fury vs. Wlad Klitschko II-I didn’t believe the first time so I want to see it again. Deontay Wilder vs. Alex Povetkin, at light heavy Sergey Kovalev-Adonis Stevenson and Andre Ward any combination out of those three. At super middle it looks like Arthur Abraham vs. Gilberto Ramirez is set and I would like to see James De Gale get a unification fight with anyone and Callum Smith vs. Badou Jack. At middle Gennady Golovkin-Saul Alvarez-Daniel Jacobs and Billy Joe Saunders obviously Golovkin vs. Alvarez first pick and Jacobs vs., Saunders might be a good fight. https://www.ringnews24.com/2016/01/07/eric-armits-snips-and-snipes-january-2016/#.Vo5ovlJyNf0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took more than a day but in less than two months the heavyweight landscape has gone through a seismic change. Suddenly there are new champions in Tyson Fury and Charles Martin, a reigning champion in Deontay Wilder showing devastating power and a former champion in David Haye looking impressive in his comeback. When you add Cuban Luis Ortiz looking a real threat and young fighters such as Anthony Joshua and Joseph Parker coming through there are interesting times ahead. Of course Wlad Klitschko can’t be written off. Alex Povetkin is a danger, Vyacheslav Glazkov deserves another chance, Artur Szpilka fought a good fight against Wilder, Bermane Stiverne and Kubrat Pulev are looking to revive their fortunes, Lucas Browne could throw his hat into the ring if he beats Ruslan Chagaev and still unbeaten and untested are Andy Ruiz, Dominic Breazeale and Gerald Washington. It is all thanks to Fury’s win over Wlad Klitschko. It was not the Ukrainian’s fault that he was too good for a whole string of challengers but his dominance killed the division as an attraction. The dominance might not have had such a negative effect if he Klitschko had provided thrills and spills but that was not the Ukrainian’s style so there was little to engage the neutral fan to whom watching a Klitschko fight was boxing’s version of Groundhog Day. The fact that he was dominating three of the four titles was an added burden. Fury was never going to be able to hold onto all three belts but by beating Klitschko he became “The Man” and his title has more credence than the WBC or IBF titles.

WelshDevilRob Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Re: Eric Armit’s Past Week and Snips and Snipes latest Articles Snips & Snipes February 27th - Manny Pacquiao, Lee Selby, AIBA and more by Eric Armit Manny Pacquiao seems to have too much going on out of the ring for a man preparing for a big fight. He has had social media and other sources attacking him over his statement regarding gays and lesbians, a rival politician Walden Bello has filed a petition saying that holding the Tim Bradley fight during election campaigning violates the law in the Philippines requiring Senate candidates getting equal media coverage including TV and radio time. The petition points out the wide coverage of the lead up to the Bradley fight and proposes the fight be postponed until after the election. The third item out there is a ridiculous sounding claim by a waiter in Los Angeles claiming damages for not receiving a percentage of the income from the Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather fight. It appears that the waiter approached a CBS executive who was dining at the restaurant where he worked and offered to set up a meeting between the CBS Executive and Freddie Roach who was one of the waiter’s friends and from that meeting eventually evolved the agreement for the fight. The waiter is claiming $8.6 million in damages for breach of contract although there is no mention of a written contract. I am sure Pacquiao will not let any of these things distract him. As for his statement regarding gays and lesbians it is obviously a strong part of his religious beliefs that same sex marriages are wrong. After 1000 years of being hounded and criminalised you can understand the gay and lesbian community reacting strongly to such a statement from such a public figure particularly the crude wording Pacquiao used. Pacquiao should have dodged the question but as he chose not to then he was giving an honest although atrociously worded opinion.
