There was a great Sunday afternoon atmosphere yesterday at the Colne Municipal Hall in Colne, England, when Steve Wood of VIP Promotions and vipboxing.tv hosted a four-fight bill of local boxers.

Trevor Crewe (Sunderland) v Manoocha Salari (Worksop)
4 x 3 Light Middleweight Contest

Popular ‘Wrecking’ Crewe got off to a strong, fast start against Iranian born Salari, but seemed to fizzle out after the first round. Throwing very few punches in the second half of the fight – Crewe's corner urged him to work.

Salari – after the first round ‘wobble’- gained in confidence and became the busier and more ‘up for it’ of the two securing the points win.Salari improves to 5 wins (3 by KO) 10 losses (7 by KO) and 3 draws. Crewe drops to 2 wins (2 by KO) and 1 loss. More...

Last night at the Brentwood Leisure Centre in Essex, England, Hennessy Sports hosted a fightnight billed as 'Winner Takes It All'.

Headlining was to have been the vacant British Middleweight title clash between Darren Barker and 'Mad Dog' Wayne Elcock - but a late change of opponent saw Elcock replaced by Danny Butler of Bristol just a couple of days earlier.

Commonwealth Champion Barker kept a cool head against 'up for it' Butler, finally forcing the stoppage in round seven.

The undefeated 'Dazzler' now holds the British and Commonwealth Middleweight belts.

Barker improves to 21-0 (14) while Butler drops to 18-2 (3), just two weeks after losing a hard fought one point decision to English titlist Darren McDermott. More...


Boxing In Canada: Lucian Bute KO’s Librado Andrade In Rematch

By Richard Eberline November 29th, 2009 All Boxing Results

IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute produced the performance of his career at the exact right time last night at Pepsi Colisee in Quebec City, Canada, knocking out his most difficult opponent to date, Librado Andrade, in the fourth during a rematch.

The pair originally met 13 months ago with Bute lucky to emerge with his title intact following a controversial end to the bout but this time, there was no question of the outcome.

Perhaps better understanding the challenge posed by the durable Andrade, Bute fought last night from the first round like a man at the absolute zenith of his abilities, accurately controlling the distance with a southpaw jab and denying his American adversary opportunities.

Bute controlled the pace of the bout with his stellar footwork, never quite being there for Andrade to get a bead on and punishing the willful challenger with both hands for each step forward.

The champion seemed to be much more settled in this rematch and sat down on his punches better than in the original bout, jarring Andrade. More...

Boxing Perspective: Bute vs. Andrade 2

By Daxx Kahn November 27th, 2009 All Boxing Articles

Can They Right Marlon’s Wrong?

Thirteen months ago, Librado Andrade, 28-2 (21), made his second career bid at becoming a World Title holder when he faced off against IBF Super Middleweight Champion Lucian “Le Tombeur” Bute, 24-0 (19), in a 12 round action packed affair that had all those in attendance at the nearly sold out Bell Centre in Montreal standing on their feet.

The bout was truly a classic boxer versus puncher affair as the southpaw champion put his technical prowess to use, utilizing every inch of ring space to his advantage. Bute landed right hand jabs and sent hometown spectators into a frenzy when he unleashed combinations, building up points on the judge’s scorecards.

In return, Andrade demonstrated why his reputation as a “True Grit” warrior was anything but exaggerated. Andrade pressured the Champion, causing him to stand his ground when he wanted to retreat.

When Bute would score flashy combinations, Andrade would punish him with hooks and overhand rights, letting the Champion know there was a price to pay for every punch unleashed even if the payback was one for every two absorbed.

In the latter rounds, it became clear Bute was not used to an opponent who was relentless, one who failed to crumble under pressure. When round 12 began, Bute ahead on all three scorecards, looked as if he could not hear the final bell soon enough, drained of all his physical energy and emotionally exhausted, the Champion’s heart was tested while the Challenger was never more ready to push his limits even further.

It became an almost “Rocky” type ending as the Challenger had Champion literally leaning on the ropes, stumbling across the ring as haymakers unleashed continuously to the temples and jaw of Bute. Straight rights would buckle his knees, the ropes saving him as he attempted a retreat to safety. Finally, as observers thought the excitement could not reach another level, Bute crumbled in the corner. More...
