VIP Promotions hosted another entertaining afternoon of boxing yesterday afternoon at Devere Whites, Reebok Stadium, Bolton.

International Masters Light-Welterweight Title
10 x 3 Rounds

Amidst the usual rowdy and enthusiastic support from ‘Singy’s’ army of fans – the Colne man got off to a cautious start against Medrano – who came out looking like he ‘meant business’! Throwing loose shots that found Singleton’s face – Medrano looked more relaxed although Singleton was the busier.

Singleton is urged by his corner to keep up the jab and he obliges by ‘upping the pressure’ in round three but still looks a little tense compared to his opponent. He starts to settle in around the fourth and fifth rounds and has Medrano fazed by a shot in the fifth which sees Singleton ‘go after him’.

Medrano is on unsteady legs in the tenth and final round and is forced to ‘hold on’ till the bell.
Singleton gets the points win 100-91 to take the Title. More...

Patrick Majewski decisions Latif Mundy in Middleweight Bloodfest

By Robert Brizel September 30th, 2012 All Ringside Boxing

Majewski Wins1 Patrick Majewski decisions Latif Mundy in Middleweight Bloodfest

In one of the bloodiest and exciting ring wars ever fought in the Atlantic City hotel casinos, Polish middleweight Patrick Majewski, fighting nearly blind at times with blood from both eyes fought on with heart and instinct to win a ten round majority decision over Latif Mundy in a rematch war. The bout took place at Resorts Hotel and Casino Superstar Theater in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Saturday evening, September 29, 2012, promoted by Peltz Promotions and Global Boxing.

The two fighters have now gone at it in center ring bloody toe-to-toe for 18 consecutive rounds, with the crowds on their feet. In the rematch, Majewski's NABF Middleweight title was not at stake. Owing to the bloody outcome, Majewski's next bout, scheduled for Poland, will be delayed.

The flow of blood can often confuse judges and make a bout difficult to score. How one judge can score Majewski-Mundy II 95-95 and another 100-90 speaks of a fight bordering on the insane, and the bout emerged as just that due to a head butt which occurred somewhere in the early rounds. The spectacular matchup became a psychological test of will, strength, and courage for Majewski, who knew Mundy had come to win, and was going to test his chin and heart to the final bell.

Majewski won the first round, coming forward and working the left jab often, with Mundy looking to counter with body shots, with limited effectiveness. Both fighters carefully looked for punch scoring opportunities but appeared careful not to punch themselves out. The second round went to center ring, where Mundy came forward and mixed his punches well, forcing Majewski to land jab combinations while moving side to side. Some of the punches went low from both fighters as the bout turned dirty. Referee Benji Esteves Jr. warned both fighters throughout the contest. More...

In the co-main event at Resorts World Casino of Aqueduct Raceway in Jamaica Queens, New York, promoted by New Legend Boxing, Old World Boxing and WON Promotions, light heavyweight Joe ‘The Irish Bomber’ Smith Jr. scored a brutal third round knockout over Yasin Abdur-Rashid in a bout which featured five vicious knockdowns scored by Smith. The bout was doomed to end early as Rashid could not land inside.

The first casino boxing card in New York City history also raised money for the Manhattan Branch of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, with volunteers selling raffles, cookies and candy, accepting donations and taking marathon pledges from boxing fans and casino patrons for charity.

According to promoter Felipe Gomez, “We hope we can continue to raise more money for charitable causes as we do more shows at Resorts World Casino, and hopefully the Genting Group will continue to work with us. Our next show featuring Vinny Maddalone will be held here on December 8, 2012. When our December 8 card ends, we will move from the third to the second floor so everyone can watch Manny Pacquiao’s next fight, which will be on the big screens in the casino sports bar.”

Smith, now 11-1 (11), Long Island, New York, began banging immediately with Rashid, now 7-3, (2), Brooklyn, New York. Smith had a substantial height and reach advantage. Rashid’s only hope was to take the fight to the inside in center ring. Rashid got there but was unable to capitalize on his attack opportunities. More...

Manchester’s Terry Flannigan retained his English Super-Featherweight Title on Saturday night – out-pointing Coventry’s Troy James in a thrilling all-action contest.

The VIP Boxing promoted fight-night at Bowlers, Manchester, also featured nine undercard bouts including an exciting six round Super-Featherweight Contest between Welshman - Mark Evans and Pavels Senkovs. Popular Evans was ‘wobbled’ in the opening seconds of round one but then had Latvian-born Senkovs on the canvas in the second and went on to get the points win.

Ringside Boxing: Ryan Clark Vs Jonjo Finnegan

Ryan Clark of Lincolnshire retained his International Masters Super-Middleweight Title by sixth round knockout on Friday night, but it was tinged with horror as opponent Jonjo Finnegan lay for a long time on the canvas while doctors and ringside paramedics tended to the home-boxer. It’s the longest I personally have ever seen someone on the canvas and it was sad to see the likeable Burton man stretchered out of the ring. The waiting crowds clapped and cheered at times - in the hope that Finnegan would be roused by their support.

Today, Sunday, Jonjo is in hospital after brain surgery for a ‘bleed on the brain’. All at Saddoboxing.com hope that he makes a full recovery.

The Errol Johnson promoted fight-night at the Town Hall in Burton-on-Trent featured four contests with Clark v Finnegan as the headliner.

It was a cracking fight up to the knockdown. Both men got off to a good start and it looked as if it would turn out to be a closely fought contest. Finnegan gained confidence in the third round as he started to land uppercuts, while Clark persisted with perfectly placed body-shots. Finnegan’s nose was bloody in the fifth and both men were landing with decent shots, but a right to the head from Clark catapulted Finnegan to the canvas – falling heavily – and Referee Rob Chalmers immediately stopped the fight – dashing over to the aid of Finnegan.

There were no victory celebrations for Clark who retains the Title and improves to 4 wins (2 by KO) 53 losses (2 by KO) and 4 draws. More...


Patrick Majewski, Heart of Poland, Wins NABF Middleweight Title

MajewskiNABF1 Patrick Majewski, Heart of Poland, Wins NABF Middleweight Title

Fighting from the heart, in the best physical condition of his career, the pride of Poland, Patrick Majewski, won the vacant NABF Middleweight title in his second try with a fifth round stoppage of Chris 'The Irish Ghost' Fitzpatrick. While the two fighters appeared evenly matched in physique, height, reach and even weight (both fighters weighed in at 160), it was Majewski who came forward and cut off the ring, backing up Fitzpatrick and using left-right combinations to the head and body to win every exchange and every round.

Fitzpatrick tried his best to counter Majewski, and was game to win. In the end, Fitzpatrick wanted to continue, but the bout ended due to a strange cut controversy. The NABF title bout was the main event of an eight bout card promoted by Peltz Boxing and Global Boxing at Bally's Hotel and Casino on Saturday, July 7, 2012, in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Majewski, now 19-1 (12), Atlantic City, New Jersey by way of Radom, Poland, entered the ring with a knockout win over Antwun Echols in Mississippi in April 2012. Fitzpatrick, now 15-2 (6), Cleveland, Ohio, entered the ring with a stoppage win over Ken Durham in South Carolina this past February 2012. More...

Last night, at Liverpool’s Olympia – VIP Promotions and Vaughan Boxing presented a seven card Bill which headlined the vacant British Masters Light-Middleweight Title bout between Steve Harkin of Liverpool and Lyndon Newman of Denton, Manchester.

Newman entered the ring alongside a number of soldiers. They were presented with signed boxing gloves as yesterday was ‘Armed Forces Day’.

Steely-faced Harkin entered the ring to big support from the local crowd.

It was a fast-paced all-action contest between these two. Harkin sustained a cut to the bridge of the nose in the fifth round (it looked to have a mark on it before he entered the ring so maybe it was an old injury that re-opened) He was ‘wobbled’ in the sixth round and sustained a cut to the left eye. This seemed to bother him and the seventh round saw the cut spurt blood – his face now awash with the red stuff. More...

Friday night, at the ornate Queens Theatre, Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, Mick Carney and Fight Factory hosted a night of boxing which featured local boxers.

After a number of changes to the original Bill the headline contest saw British and Commonwealth Flyweight Champion – Chris Edwards of Stoke-on-Trent face tricky Ingle Boxer Anwar AlFadli of Sheffield in a six by two minute contest. But likeable Edwards must have wondered what he’d let himself in for when he had an awkward first round against a dangerous Alfadli then sustained a cut to the left brow from an accidental clash of heads in the third. The cut didn’t look too bad and fighting continued but it opened up in the fourth round spurting blood and referee Rob Chalmers took him across to the ringside Doctor for a look. Fighting resumed and the contest went to points – a draw (58-58).

Disappointed Edwards quickly left the ring – probably to get the (now) two cuts (both brows) attended to.
Edwards’ record now stands at 17 wins (4 by KO) 14 losses (3 by KO) and 4 draws.
Alfadli’s record stands at 1 win 26 losses (2 by KO) and 3 draws. More...

Friday night, P J Rowson and Errol Johnson promoted a fightnight which saw Jason Welborn successfully defend his Midlands Area Welterweight Title against ‘Super’ Scot Haywood.

The Bill was originally set to headline the re-match between Enzo Maccarinelli and Shane McPhilbin but the contest was pulled after Maccarinelli sustained a hand injury at the beginning of the month.

The Show – hosted at Wolverhampton Civic - also featured six undercard bouts from local boxers.

Jason Welborn (Tividale) v Scott Haywood (Derby)
Midlands Area Welterweight Title

Haywood had lots of support from his travelling fans – maybe that’s what distracted him as he entered – gambolling around the ring!

The contest got off to a fairly evenly matched fight but despite Haywood looking the classier boxer – Welborn’s shots looked heavier. A solid right from Welborn to the head of Haywood saw the Derby man on his knee in the fifth round. Haywood sensibly stayed on one knee for the count then came back with all guns blazing. Welborn came back again to pressure Haywood in the Shinfields corner but Haywood did a great job of blocking the shots and many hit his arms. Haywood then landed some decent rights to the head in succession before Welborn – again – laid in to Haywood. He seemed to put all his weight behind the shots and Haywood took to his knee from a bodyshot. Haywood resumed fighting but was shaking his head as if to say he’d had enough at the end of the round. Jason Shinfield coaxed him back to the corner but the fight was waved off after Haywood seemingly retired himself at the end of the fifth. More...

Hatton Promotions hosted a thrilling fight-night Saturday night which saw a sad outcome in the much anticipated headline contest between Rendall Munroe of Leicester and Scott Quigg of Bury.

A clash of heads in round three saw Munroe sustain a terrible cut to the right brow. The fight was promptly stopped and the result was a Technical Draw.

Also on the ‘Road to Glory’ Bill at Manchester’s Velodrome – Sergey Rabchenko stopped Ryan Rhodes in the 7th round to claim the EBU Light Middleweight Title and Richard Towers stopped Gregory Tony of France in the ninth to win the EU Heavyweight Title.

Martin Murray won his ten round Middleweight Contest against Frenchman – Karim Achour on points and Australian Heavyweight Lucas Browne KO’d Hastings Rasani inside the first minute of round one.

Full results:

Scott Quigg (Bury) v Rendall Munroe (Leicester)
Interim WBA World Super Bantamweight Title

This much anticipated Title bout was sadly 'cut short' by a terrible cut to Munroe’s right brow from an accidental clash of heads at the start of the third round. After a good, steady, first two rounds from both men – the fight seemed to be developing in to an interesting contest with both Quigg and Munroe ‘settling in’. But the cut was a nasty gash which spurted blood and there was no question that it should be stopped. More...


Big Scare at Cordon Bleu as Bloody Red Galarza Stops The Pitbull

Galarza Wins Big Scare at Cordon Bleu as Bloody Red Galarza Stops The Pitbull

Unbeaten Brooklyn middleweight prospect Frank Galarza went through a bloody round of dangerous hell with opponent Yolexcy 'The Pit bull' Leiva-Martinez in the preliminary bout to the main event at Cordon Bleu Catering Hall on Friday, June 8, 2012. Both fighters swung away in an offensive go-for-broke barrage reminiscent of George Foreman versus Ron Lyle in accelerated motion. It was quickly evident from the opening bell only one fighter would be left standing. The only question was when the wild action slugfest would end. The answer did not take long to arrive.

Galarza, now 7-0 (4), Brooklyn, New York, wound up in big and immediate trouble, causing a big scare as 'Pit bull' Leiva-Martinez, 5-3 with 4 kayos, Nashville, Tennessee, landed an overhand left to the forehead of Galarza causing a horrific long bloody horizontal cut over Galarza's left eye. Red blood was flowing profusely, and just would not stop, raising the possibly Leiva-Martinez might score a lucky stoppage over the highly touted Galarza owing to the injury and rapid flow of blood.

Making good on his nickname, 'Pit bull' Leiva-Martinez came forward as Galarza came forward, fighting like a wild, crazy and insane pitbull. Leiva-Martinez continued headhunting Galarza, but it was not to be. Galarza landed a series of rapid fire overhand lefts to the head of Leiva-Martinez, and 'The Pit bull' went flying across the ring, bouncing off the ropes, prompting a count from referee Samuel Viruet, scored as a knockdown.

Valdez Wins New York State Lightweight Title in Major Upset

Valdez Wins1 Valdez Wins New York State Lightweight Title in Major Upset

In perhaps the biggest New York State title bout upset in recent years, a hungry and determined Edward Valdez overturned the apple cart and won the New York State Lightweight title by earning a unanimous eight round decision over defending champion Jonathan Cuba. The bout took place at Cordon Bleu Catering Hall in Woodhaven Queens, New York, on Friday, June 8, 2012. The Friday Night at The Fights card was co-promoted by Old World, New Legend and W.O.N. Promotions.

Former world champions Junior Jones, Luis Collazo, Amanda Serrano and Cindy Serrano, and popular local heavyweights Derric Rossy and Vincent Maddalone, were among boxers in attendance at the event. Collazo and Maddalone were among those who participated in charity raffles for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training, which raised funds to help find better treatments and cures for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma. Winners got their pictures taken with the boxers, which will be autographed and sent to them later.

Both fighters were of smaller height and proportions (giving the appearance of being in a much lower weight class than middleweight) and were thus evenly matched. However, the normally aggressive come forward champion Cuba did not fight like he did in both of his 2011 title bouts with Ariel Duran. More...
