Silverhawk Boxing: Heavyweight Prospect Cedric Boswell Wants In On World Scene

ByBoxing Press

Fresh off of his first-round destruction of veteran Steve “Storm” Pannell (34-13, 28 KOs) last Friday night in Colorado, Cedric “Bos” Boswell believes he’s ready to take on the any of the world’s top heavyweights.

Boswell (24-1, 19 KOs), fighting out of Atlanta, is lucky he doesn’t get paid by the minute. His last two opponents, Pannell (34-11) and Robert Kooser (9-6), were both put to sleep in the opening round.

“I felt real good,” the Sonny Liston-look alike Boswell said about his performance last Friday night. “Some people out there told me Pannell would come out strong in the first round. I waited for him to pull the trigger and when he did, I hit him with a good right.

“I’m ready to fight the best heavyweights in the world, including anyone of the four champions. The heavyweight division is so political that all I can do now is wait for Silverhawk and my manager, Jim Rider, to tell me who is next and then get ready. Whether it goes 12 rounds or one, I’ll be ready for the situation.”

Bosell’s only loss was on October 3, 2003 against world heavyweight title challenger Jameel McCline (39-3-3) at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. “I was winning the first 9 1/2 rounds but got tired in the last (10th),” Cedric explained.

“I started holding and without a warning they stopped the fight. He never hit me. I tore my rotator cuff in the fourth round and beat him with one hand. I tired in the last round and started holding.

“I’ve learned a lot from my one loss. I gained valuable experience and I’m more patient. I’m also doing things in the gym that I didn’t do back then. All around, I’m at the top of my game and I’m ready to fight any of the top heavyweights.”

Also on the undercard of last Friday night’s “Rocky Mountain Mayhem: Return of the Champ show,” highlighted by IBA title-winning performances by lightweight Stevie “Lil’ But Bad’ Johnston (WDEC12 vs. Humberto Toledo) and light welterweight Adrian “Juanito” Mora (WTKO1 vs. Marc Thompson), undefeated Mexican welterweight sensation Salvador “Alexis” Camacho (15-0, 14 KOs) won his 15th consecutive fight, 14th in a row by knockout, stopping Rob Adamson (9-2-1, 8 KOs) in the third round.

In the fight of the night, Johnnie Edwards (12-1, 7 KOs) won an exciting sixth round majority decision (59-57, 59-57, 57-57) against Jaime “Superfly” Sandoval (14-2, 12 KOs).
