It looks like Steven Luevano will defend his WBO title vs. Billy Dib on the undercard of B-Hop vs. Pavlik.


"The Dragon" Chris John will fight Hiroyuki Enoki on Oct. 24th in Japan. If my prediction from last year is right Enoki will beat John.

Jose Amaro Guzman, younger brother of Joan Guzman is slated to make his US debut in Oct.

Cintron vs. N'dou
Taylor vs. Lacy
and the return of Chazz Witherspoon have landed on HBO for Nov. 15th.

Ay Mick you remember Luevano cousin? Marshall Martinez? Got kicked out of the Olympic team a couple of years ago. Got busted with Ricardo Williams. He also out. Should be returning to the ring pretty soon

It looks like Dimitriy Salita will finally step it up...
Given the Andreas Kotelnik beats Norio Kimura in his next fight.

I remember reading a lot about Salita years back and HBO was showcasing him then he just fell off it. Don't think highly of Salita but interested in seeing him finally step up.

The head of my gym boxed on a Salita undercard back in 2000.

Salita was hyped, they were building him, but he never got past the first floor, purposely or inadvertently I don't know.
Is he still with DiBella?

If Billy Dib wins, will he defend the title against Marali?


Marali protest upheld!
IBO orders rematch with DibThe IBO championships Committee has ruled in favor of Zolani Marali and ordered IBO super featherweight champion Billy Dib to face Marali again within ninety days with all officials to be appointed by the IBO from Europe and the United States. A formal protest and appeal was filed on behalf of Marali with regard to the unanimous decision in favor of Dib in a controversial July 30 fight at Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. As part of a lengthy and intensive review, a panel of three senior IBO officials independently scored the fight, and ruled in favor of Marali.

Grasshopper,
This is where boxing gets a bit nasty...
If you were Dib which title would you care most for?
The IBO or the WBO?
(I know the WBO itself is not as highly regarded as the others but it def. holds a lot more ground then the IBO)
Marali can keep the IBO title, Dib will still have the win and will move on to fight for the WBO title.
