Gonzalez Tops Delisle To Become IBF #2 Contender
In the main event of Goosen-Tutor promotion's Thursday night Fight Night At The Tank at the HP Pavilion in San Jose California, IBF # 5 ranked light heavyweight Julio Gonzalez, 39-3 (29), elevated himself to IBF #2 contender status by scoring a unanimous decision over Australian challenger Jason Delisle, 18-3-2 (9).
Delisle looked good in the early going, landing the first big punch of the fight, a lunging lead left hook in the first minute of the second round. Delisle, who lost to light heavyweight contender Clinton Woods in October 2003, was getting the better of Gonzalez early, pressing forward relentlessly, avoiding the Californian's early hooks and landing a high number of his punches on the inside. Gonzalez fought fairly conservative for the first few rounds, rarely varying his combos and opting to throw the jab-straight combination for the first three rounds.
Gonzalez eventually got on track and took control of the fight in round four, when he connected with a lead left uppercut in the opening seconds of the round. Gonzalez then employed a strategy of counterpunching and started working the body. Delisle, 34 years old, had no answer to Gonzalez's new approach to the fight, and was rocked for the first time in the contest at the closing of round five, when Gonzalez landed a straight right hand with his back against the ropes.

WBC Light Welter Champion Floyd Mayweather proved he could compete at welterweight tonight as the top pound for pound fighter in the world thoroughly controlled former WBA 140 lb titlist Sharmba Mitchell at the Rose Garden Arena in Portland, Oregon. Mitchell was hardly ever a participant in the contest, getting beaten to the punch repeatedly by the razor sharp Mayweather. By the third, Mitchell was on the canvas from a searing right hand but beat the count. The veteran from Washington, DC did catch Mayweather on the way in at times but never was able to put the younger man off. "Pretty Boy" steadily wore Mitchell down as the rounds went on until a spearing right hand to the ribs caused the tiring southpaw to take a knee in the sixth. Mitchell beat the count but couldn't give the referee cause to let the contest continue and the action was stopped at 2:05 of the round. Speculation abounds now as to whether or not Floyd Mayweather, now 35-0 (24), will return to the light welter division or continue at 147 lbs where another former light welter, Zab Judah holds three of the four major world titles. It's another high profile loss for Sharmba Mitchell, knocked out by Kostya Tszyu a year ago, and it's open to question if the thirty five year old can still compete at the highest levels of the game.

He is, quite literally, boxing’s equivalent of Dr Jekyll and Mr “Hyde’; a mild mannered, happy go lucky, down to earth gentleman outside of the ring who transforms into a cold-blooded, calculating, ruthless assassin inside it.
Ricky “The Hitman’ Hatton is a very rare breed indeed, its not often sport produces such a dramatic contradiction of alter-ego, |
but in Hatton, the world of boxing has a unique exponent, a classically “old school’ fighting machine who incorporates respected “old school’ values and morals into a persona rarely encountered in today’s game. More...
