Well damn :leon:

That's a wrap for Harrison's career

Premature stoppage though, at least give the guy a shot...that's one thing I hate about UK/Euro boxing, stoppages always come quick.

Congrats to Wilder though, that was a good right hand :ehh:

Your right, but we take our health and safety (in everything within our society) seriously over here. Plus with the number of boxers who've either ended up dead (Bradley Stone), life changing brain injuries (McClellan & Watson) or left in a coma then recovered but career ended. (Spencer Oliver), they rather stop it early then let history repeat itsself

Comes with the territory, I mean, all it really takes is one punch......but I commend the actions taken, hate to see any deaths or life altering injuries like that

other results

Unheralded light heavyweight Oleksandr Cherviak (11-2-1, 3 KOs) upset previously unbeaten WBO #3, WBA #6, IBF #13 rated Dustin Dirks (27-1, 20 KOs). Dirks was staggered in round two and was in survival mode in round three. In round four Dirks tried to climb back into the fight, but Cherviak slammed the door shut, finally stopping Dirks :51 seconds into round ten.

Former WBA cruiserweight champion Firat Arslan (33-6-2, 21 KOs) outpointed Varol Vekiloglu (20-5-1, 12 KOs) over ten rounds by scores of 98-92, 98-92, 99-91. Workmanlike performance from the 42-year-old Arslan, who is looking to rematch WBO champion Marco Huck.

This is a great article about Hector Camacho

Hector Camacho's Vida Macho - MensJournal.com


In the ring, Hector "Macho" Camacho was a champion – a dazzling, fast-footed showman in cheetah-print trunks. Out of it, he was a coke-fueled, womanizing wild man, until the appetites that consumed him cost him his life.

will read in a bit, thanks! Macho was a great fun boxer to watch and is amongst my favs! Imagine if he, rosario, tapia and many others lived a clean life style?

On a recent conference call, multi-division world champion Floyd Mayweather, who is defending his WBC welterweight title against mandatory challenger Robert Guerrero on May 4, commented on the status of his WBA super welterweight “super” world title. “I wanted to defend my WBA title after this fight, but I guess I’m no longer the WBA champ,” said Floyd, “so I didn’t know I got stripped of my title.”

The WBA still has Floyd listed as their titleholder on the WBA website, however Canelo Alvarez’ title unification win over Austin Trout would qualify him as WBA super welterweight “super” champion. Inquiries on Mayweather’s WBA status to our normally forthcoming WBA contacts have yielded deafening silence. Whether this means Floyd is really stripped or that the WBA is trying to find a loophole to keep both Floyd and Canelo as “co-super champions” remains to be seen. Stay tuned…
