“I’m very lucky that since a young age I knew what I wanted. I wanted to be world champion and I’m going to get my dream.â€-Yuri Foreman. Time to Show the Boxing Public if He Has “It.” There was a time about two-and-a-half years ago that, whenever anyone would talk about solid looking prospects, the…
We begin our preview of this week’s world boxing action on Thursday in the idyllic sounding setting of Palm Springs. Whether conditions in the ring prove quite as agreeable remains to be seen as former world light heavyweight champions Julio Gonzalez and Montell Griffin face off. Roy Jones Jr., Glen Johnson, Antonio Tarver, Dariusz Michalczewski…
Translated from Spanish to English by Sergio Martinez. On May 6, 2005, live from the Ft. McDowell Casino in Fountain Hill, Arizona, the main event, which will be televised on Telefutura’s “Solo Boxeo” series, will feature perennial welterweight contender Manuel “Shotgun” Gomez (27-10-1 with 19 KOs). Gomez was originally slated to face the come backing…
A rather unlikely pairing contests the WBA heavyweight championship of the world this weekend. Despite achieving world titles in three weights thus far, one would have to say that James Toney resembles a fighter somewhat out of his depth amongst the heavyweights. In contrast, John Ruiz, a decidedly dubious two-time world champion is a natural…
Tonight, April 29, 2005, live from the Laredo Entertainment Center in Laredo, Texas, and televised on Telefutura, Oscar de la Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotion presents “Night of the Olympians.†Three of De La Hoya’s charges: Daniel Ponce De Leon, Abner Mares, and Vicente Escobedo, all former Olympians, are to feature on the card along with…
At least eighty-percent of boxing fans would love to see John Ruiz get schooled, again, only this time by James Toney not Roy Jones Jr. Because of his fighting style, Ruiz has to be one of the least liked heavyweight champions of all time. Actually he is probably one of the least liked boxers pound-for-pound…
Ahh….You just never know what’s going to happen with those crazy heavyweights. Well fight fans, welcome to the second installment of “The Big Debate.†This one is not exactly a fight that fans are raving about, but it is an important one since Toney is trying to become only the fourth former middleweight champion, in…
A John Ruiz fight may be boring, uneventful, slow and a straight out way to help you fall asleep on the couch while watching. You can change the channel, laugh at his “Quiet Man†stance and take his self-assured statements of destroying his opponent lightly. It’s John Ruiz’ way and it’s a successful formula towards…
“Don better step up to the plate after this fight because we want nothing but big fights. Johnny will beat both Klitchskos on the same night. No doubt about that. We better start getting treated the way we deserve from him because we’ve earned it.‖Norman “Stoney†Stone. “Just no excuses, Toney! Be ready!†was the…
James “Lights Out” Toney is a name of which most boxing fans are fond. With a record of 68-4 (43 KOs), Toney knows his way around the ring as well as the business of boxing. Beginning his professional boxing career as a middleweight, where he earned the IBF middleweight title, Toney’s dominance of the middleweight…

No sooner do we get through one explosive week of action that saw Wladimir Klitschko’s successful return, Jameel McCline’s demise to the benefit of a gutsy Calvin Brock and the confirmed dominance of Antonio Margarito over Kermit Cintron, than we have yet another massive week of boxing action to savor. 19-2 light welterweight Jeffrey Resto…
