May

Steve Kim (Photo © Chris Farina / TOP Rank):
This weekend, Bob Arum and Top Rank go back to their roots as they stage the
bout between WBA junior middleweight titlist Yuri Foreman and Miguel Cotto at
the new Yankee Stadium in New York. This was once the stomping ground of Arum,
who decided to pick up and move his operations out west in 1986. "I was doing a
lot of fights in Las Vegas and I really loved Las Vegas and I preferred the life
in Las Vegas," Arum explained to Maxboxing last Friday...Read

Sweet Victory Evans Outpoints
Rampage in UFC 114 Grudge Match
May

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - At times,
the long-awaited UFC 114 grudge match between former light heavyweight champions
"Suga" Rashad Evans and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson looked like the calm after the
storm of trash talk and bad blood. But an action-packed third round and a
solidly executed gameplan from Evans will remain in the minds of fight fans for
a while as he pounded out a three round unanimous decision win over his rival
Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Read

Gabriel Montoya -
It was business as usual as heavyweight titleholder Vitali Klitschko, 40-2 (38),
took his sweet time warming up to get the job done vs. game but overmatched
Albert Sosnowski, 45-3-1 (27) at the Veltins Arena in Germany. It was a huge
crowd as usual, close to 60,000; proof once again boxing is far from dead.
It was a tentative first round. Sosnowski,
wearing trunks the color of a Lay’s Limon chips bag,

Manny Steward vs Buddy McGirt
May
25, 2010
ST. LOUIS—Adding
intrigue to Cory Spinks’ defense of his International Boxing Federation junior
middleweight crown in St. Louis on June 12 against IBF mandatory challenger
Cornelius Bundrage is the fact that Bundrage will be trained for the first time
by International Boxing Hall of Fame member Emanuel Steward while Spinks’ new
trainer is former two-time world champion James “Buddy” McGirt.
Maybe the most interesting fact of all is that the globe-trotting
Steward—who may be best known now for his longtime role as a boxing analyst for
HBO Sports—will be making his first visit to the Gateway City.

Letter from Kermit Cintron to Boxing Fans
May 14, 2010
Dear Boxing Fans,
I want to clear the air about what actually happened in my May 8th fight
with Paul Williams. There are a lot of rumors floating around and I want to
set the record straight.
About thirty seconds into round four, Paul Williams lost his balance and
started falling to the canvas. Our bodies got tangled and while Paul just
hit the canvas, my momentum carried me through the ropes and out of the
ring. His falling is what caused me to be off-balance and all I could do was
brace myself for impact.

Who did they think they where fooling?
By Enrique Olivieri - Decemeber 13,
2009
Let me start by giving thanks to the
boys at ZUFFA for the banning of the Hoelzer Reich clothing from all UFC and WEC
events. The honest truth is every mixed martial arts promotion company in this
great country of ours should follow suit and ban this vile brand. The sport of
mixed martial arts does not need such negativity in any shape, form or clothing
line, it’s just not acceptable in fact it’s damn right offensive.

I've published a few really old school IVC
(International Fighting Championships) fight photos. This was mixed martial arts
in it's infancy, no gloves, only an optional protector cup and a mouth piece if
you chose to use them. Wanderlie Silva before anyone knew who he was.
