Tevin Farmer Suffers Injury During Win, Likely Out For Four Months
By Francisco Salazar
Junior lightweight contender Tevin Farmer was victorious Saturday night, but is likely out of action for the next several months.
Farmer won a 10 round unanimous decision over Arturo Reyes at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Farmer improves to 25-4-1, with 5 KOs, while Reyes drops to 19-8, with 5 KOs.
Promoter Lou DiBella told BoxingScene.com Farmer likely ruptured his right bicep during the fight.
“Tevin suffered the injury early in the fight,” said DiBella. “He had to fight with one hand from the third round on.”
Farmer would grind out a unanimous decision, winning by scores of 98-94, 97-93, and 96-94.
Asked how long Farmer could be out of action, DiBella responded, “He’s likely out at least four months. He’s likely going to have surgery right away.”
Saturday’s fight was a tune-up for Farmer while he is awaiting an opportunity to fight for a world title belt. The southpaw Farmer is ranked number three by the WBC and number six by the IBF.

Better is the word...no one believes swift beat Peterson and no one gave 2 shyts about the glorified sparring session with Paulie who he couldn't even knock off his feet. I think Postol is a good fighter so that doesn't bother me he beat Lucas.Yea too bad he fought someone 10xs better instead
Too bad for you Swift didn't fight Postol ....he woulda took care of james ellsworth ...then ol one eye woulda never had to fight N quit against a jobber![]()

Well fret not swift can still call out postol...since L's were taken in the respective fights. Postol would have a field day popping jabs off swift's no head movement follow the leader walking ass. You can quote me on that too lol.
Guaranteed Pacquiao KO win...career ending fight for Matthysse if he attempts that![]()
“Canelo-Golovkin is not my problem,” Lemieux said. “My kids gotta eat, so I want Canelo first. I want to fight the best, and those two guys are at the top right now. I’m always looking for a challenge.”
Lemieux (37-3, 33 knockouts) could make a case for himself to fight Alvarez next with a strong performance versus Marcos Reyes (35-4, 26 KOs) during Saturday’s co-main event.
“Everybody knows they want to see me in good fights,” Lemieux said. “We wanted to stay active and this opportunity came up to be on the show (Saturday) and we took it. Making another strong statement on the Canelo-Chavez undercard will only bring me the best fights.”
"From the very beginning, the WBC wanted to get involved with this fight, and when we as a team said 'no, it's not going to happen, there is no WBC, it's not for a world title' - we knew that at some point something was going to come up. We spoke to Mr. Sulaiman and told him that he was not going to be involved. He then came up with this Huichol belt and I knew that he was going to use that against me in a negative way, to make me look like the bad guy - that I want nothing to do with the Huichols," Canelo stated.
"That not true, quite the contrary. My entire attire is made by Huichols. Since I've been 14 years old, I've been friends with people from the Huichol culture. All of my fights in Nayarit, they were there. My attire is being made by them, they have been invited, there is a Huichol fighter in my gym. This was just to be done to make me look like a bad guy."
"This was done [by the WBC] with other interests, there is a company there on the belt. [The belt has] been going through a tour, conferences, exhibits at the hotels."
Canelo confirms that his beef with the WBC is stemming from last year's disagreement over the mandatory defense against Gennady Golovkin.
The Mexican boxer states that Sulaiman was pressuring him to make a decision to fight Golovkin - and only gave him 15 days to make up his mind. During that time period, Canelo was on trial in Miami over a contractual dispute with his former promoter Tuto Zabala of All Star Boxing.
Canelo's handlers attempted to extend the 15 day time period, Sulaiman refused. Canelo responded by vacating the WBC title - which the sanctioning body gave over to Golovkin, who at the time held the interim-belt.
"[Sulaiman] was pressuring me on a 15 day basis to make a decision on this fight with Golovkin, when I had some problems in Miami. You guys know about that. I can't attend one thing and another at the same time. He made it seem like I was afraid of Golovkin, so I gave up the belt. So that's why they are not involved, not now," Canelo said.
"I just want you know one thing. I won that title based on sacrifice, based on training, based on balls, based on hard work and discipline and beating a great fighter in Miguel Cotto - so that [Sulaiman] can turn around and hand over it to a guy who didn't even work out or train in the gym, didn't even break a sweat, didn't even fight to earn that belt. So you're going to tell me that's respectful?"

Today was the 2 year anniversary. I was hoping that Mayweather would've gotten more respect for the win but seems like the critics hated him even more after the win with their usual "all he does is run" bullshyt.
