‘Antonin Decarie’

One of the biggest punchers in boxing was in action last evening as middleweight David Lemieux lit up the Montreal night with a sparkling KO of Hector Camacho Jr at The Casino.

Just 21 years of age, Lemieux came into the contest having knocked out all but one of 23 previous opponents but had never crossed swords with an adversary as experienced as Camacho.

The bout began with the taller Lemieux connecting with a hard right that Camacho immediately countered with a sharp left hook that seemed to surprised the Canadian.

But that was where Camacho's run of success ended as Lemieux managed to close distance and start landing rights to the head and body before a point blank short right caused Camacho to grab hold to keep from falling over. More...

Last night at Palais des Sport Marcel Cerdan in Levallois-Perret, Souleyman M'baye captured the Interim WBA welterweight title with a 12 round unanimous decision against Antonin Decarie.

Hometown hero M'baye, an ex-WBA and European light welter champion, made his debut at welter, dropping Canadian visitor Decarie in the fourth.

But the undefeated Montreal man beat the count and gave the more experienced Frenchman some difficult times before dropping the decision by scores of 116-112 and 116-113 twice after 12 frames were completed.

M'baye runs his record to 39-3-1 (21) and is now in line to meet the winner of the upcoming WBA title clash between champion Vyacheslav Senchenko and challenger Charlie Navarro. More...

The Casino in Montreal was the site of a good show on Saturday as welterweight Antonin Decarie came through his latest WBO NABO title challenge and middleweight David Lemieux once again provided fistic fireworks.

Decarie retained his title for the fourth time by dramatically stopping veteran American southpaw Terrance Cauthen with just one second left in the tenth and final round.

Cauthen tried to keep a lid on Decarie with constant clinching during the bout but was canvassed in the eighth before going down for the second time during the closing seconds of the tenth. More...

On October 3rd, Star Boxing's jr. middleweight contender, Terrance "The Heat" Cauthen (33-5, 9KO), will travel into enemy territory when he battles it out against Canada's unbeaten Antonin Decarie (22-0, 6KO) over ten rounds in the main event bout of the evening at The Casino in Montreal, Canada.

The former USBA jr. middleweight champ Cauthen, who was also a 1995 U.S. Amateur champion, and 1996 Olympic bronze medal winner, is a late replacement for fellow Star Boxing stable-mate Shamone Alvarez. More...

There were two good shows north of the border last night and we'll start off in boxing mad Montreal at The Casino.

Undefeated welterweight Antonin Decarie, 22-0 (6), kept on track for a world title challenge as the 26 year old pulled off a letter perfect performance against opponent Victor Hugo Castro, 29-6 (12).

After 12 rounds, Decarie won all three cards by a score of 120-108 and retained his WBO NABO title for the third time.

On the undercard, former middleweight world title challenger Sebastien Demers, 28-2 (10), won his third bout in a row by outpointing Alfredo Contreras, 10-5-1 (4), over eight rounds at super middle. More...

There was action North of the border last night as Juan Urango regained the IBF Light Welter title with a wide points decision over local favorite Herman Ngoudjo at the Bell Centre in Montreal.

Colombian southpaw Urango came out of the gates firing on all cylinders and by the second had struck paydirt, battering his Cameroon born opponent to the canvas twice in the second round.

From that point on, Ngoudjo avoided close combat with Urango and tried to box his way to victory but couldn't find a way to dictate the pace.

Urango proved just too strong and durable to be bothered by the faster handed Montreal man and cruised to a 120-106, 118-108 and 116-110 points verdict after twelve rounds.

The 28 year old Miami resident has now won four straight and once again wears the IBF belt, two years after losing it to Ricky Hatton in Las Vegas. More...

GYM Promotions put on a good show last night at The Casino in Montreal and their prospects all walked away with victories in important bouts.

Welterweight Antonin Decarie, 19-0 (5), had a tough fight with previously unbeaten Ohio man Brian "The Golden Greek" Camechis, 17-1 (8), but moved forward steadily behind the jab to outwork the American.

Decarie had Camechis down in the fourth with a bodyshot but the visitor rebounded to canvas the local man in the fifth with a crisp counter left hook, although it was incorrectly ruled a slip.

After twelve rounds, Decarie won a unanimous decision 117-110, 116-111 and 115-112 to annex the vacant WBO NABO Welterweight crown.

Light welter Dierry Jean, 13-0 (9), got the best win of his career by knocking out durable Mexican Henry Arjona, 17-11-1 (11), in the sixth. More...
