Thread: Back from Afghanistan

Howdy Folks! I'm back after a successful deployment. I'd appreciate it if yall could catch me up on the last 4 months of boxing...just the high lights please.

CC glad you came back safe.

Here's a little rundown....

Heavyweight: Peter dominated Toney in a rematch winning a lopsided decision. Despite winning, the WBC is making him step aside so Oleg Maskaev can face Vitali Klitschko. And Peter's camp is raising hell about it. Valuev beat Jameel McCline because McCline blew out his knee in round 3. Tommy Morrison is back as well...

Cruiserweight: O'neil Bell got arrested for chasing a sparring partner through the woods with a hatchet Other then that...nothing Bell and Mormeck rematch in a month.

Light Heavy: Chad Dawson beat Tomasz Ademek by UD. Exciting fight. Bernard Hopkins faces Wright July 21st at a 170 lb catchweight.

Super Middleweight: Calzaghe faces Manfredo in early April and Kessler fights Librado Andrade later this month on the 24th.

Middleweight: Edison Miranda faces Allan Green Saturday. Taylor will probably face Sergio Mora after he beat Ouma in December.

Junior Middleweight: PBF and DLH have engaged in a bit of a war of words. Their press tour closed yesterday in LA. Nothing much else going on in this division.

Welterweight: Mosley just recently dominated Collazo. Margarito had a close fight with Clottey and Cotto dominated Carlos Quintana. Margarito is now going to face Paul Williams voiding a fight in June with Miguel Cotto. Cotto faces Oktay Urkal Saturday. And in June he faces Zab Judah. And a guy named Andre Berto is making a name for himself in the division.

Junior Welter: Hatton dominated Juan Urango and won a UD that was fairly boring in the late rounds. He now faces Castillo in June. Castillo himself won a close SD over Herman Ngoudjo on that same night.

Lightweight: Joel Casamayor vacated his title to face Popo Freitas. Then Freitas pulled out of that bout and is facing Juan Diaz, leaving Casamayor beltless and fightless.

Super Feather: Pacquiao faces Jorge Solis in Texas next month. Barrera is scheduled to fight Juan Manuel Marquez in a couple weeks. Valero still hasn't been allowed to fight in the US.

Hopefully someone else with more knowledge of the lower divisions can fill you in below there....

Nicely done amat thats pretty damn! good.....


VanChilds welcome back man and THANK YOU of serving you should be proud of yourself glad to hear your back safe.....


Featherweight - JMM has fought twice and won against some unknown BUT very tough opposition wining both fights by TKO. He will now move up to Super Feather and face MAB on March 17. Another fighter tested positive for using illegal substances (This fight was for the IBF title). Juan Manuel Lopez & Gilberto Roman are the rising prospects.

Super Bantam - Israel Vasquez is the top dawg! here. Celestino Caballero defeated Somsak Sithchatchawal in what looked like to be a very competitive fight on paper but Caballero blew him out in 3. Daniel Ponce De Leon beat Al Seeger via TKO hes fighting Gerry Penalosa next. Rey 'Boom Boom' Bautista is the rising prospect here he will fight as co-maint event on the ODLH vs. PBF card....

Bantam - R.Marquez is still the top dawg! here and is moving up to Super Bantam to face the top dawg! there Israel Vasquez this Sat. (Your BOY! CutMeMick will be there expect a photo Gallery ) Wladimir Sidorenko has been making a name for himself.
Raul Martinez is the rising prospect here.

Super Fly - Jorge Arce just beat Ler for 12 full rounds and is set to face the WBC champ. Cristian Mijares in what IMO Mijares will win a UD. Fernando Montiel just beat Z Gorres (highly regarded fighter) via SD in what people say is a contrversial fight. I haven't seen it YET! but will this wekend. Alex John Banal is the rising prospect.

Flyweight - Vic Darchiyan will face Victor Burgos on Sat. as the co-maint event for Marquez-Vasquez..... Pongsaklek Wonjongkan is still getting away with murder as every time he fights his opposition gets worst and worst everyday hes a DISGRACE to the sport and the WBC should be ashamed for letting this go on. . Omar Andres Narvaez will fight Brahim Asloum March 10, Roberto Vasquez defeated Takefumi Sakata. Panomroonglek Kratingdaenggym is the rising prospect....

Light Fly - Omar Nino who beat Brian Viloria AGAIN was stripped off his belt for testing positive. Viloria will now face Omar Sosa for the vacant WBC belt. Koki Kameda japans rising star beat Landeta again in the rematch. Hugo Fidel Cazares has made a name for himself. Rising prospects are Giovanni Segura, Omar Salado and a few others.

Minimumweight - IMO as of late they have slacked off EVERYONE down here are just taking the OK fights and not making the necessary fights that need to be made. Ivan Calderon is still fightint the same opposition, Eagle Kyowa has made a name for himself and is the WBC champ.

Welcome back
