Bute,
Johnson quotes
by Dave Spencer / FightNews Canada
Friends shouldn't let freinds fight friends. After
sparring close to 100 rounds in the past, Glen Johnson and IBF
super-middleweight champion gave a loud deafening crowd 12 more a fight that
sometimes simmered, but never boiled over. Bute was able to easily control the
action, out-jabbing the "Road Warrior" who often looked more
road-weary by scores of 120-108, 120-108, 119-109.
"Glen Johnson is a tough experienced and great
fighter and I'm very happy to win," said Bute following the fight.
"With Johnson you have to avoid his right hand, and to do that, you have
to avoid his jab. I did that by ou-tjabbing him every chance I had." The
statistics bear Bute out as he landed 183 of 449 jabs for nearly a 41% clip.
Johnson meanwhile often had the piston going but often at long range connecting
with 81 of 360 thrown, a 22.5 percentage.
"I have big respect for Glenn Johnson he's a
friend but this is my business, so it was not hard to fight him."
Johnson for his part thought he had done enough to win
the fight. "I think I won the fight," he said afterwards. "In
the 4th round my arm began to swell up and couldn't use the big right. I felt I
beat him to the punch though. It's not easy coming on the road like this, your
opponent does one little thing and the crowd erupts." Johnson plans to
continue campaigning at 168.
Bute will be ringside for Super Six final December
17th and feels that Andre Ward will come out the winner by decision. "My
dream is to fight the winner."
Green
over Demers
by Dave Spencer / FightNews Canada
Sebastien Demers made a good account for himself but
fell to a decision to former world title challenger and Super Six contestant
Allan Green (31-3 21KO). Demers (31-5 11KO) hadn't made it out of the third
round in his last two fights but gave Green everything he could handle over the
course of ten rounds, losing a 100-90, 98-92, 97-93 decision. Green who had
come in 3 pounds heavy had Demers rocked several times in the fight but any
continued exchanges usually ended with one or both fighters hanging on. Demers
had hoped to get Green to deep waters and take his chances and seemed things
were going to plan in the seventh where he was able to connect with a couple of
rights but couldn't follow up and Green quickly maintained the upper hand.
Demers had his moments over the course of ten, but Green was control most of
the way.
Bute
defeats Johnson
by Dave Spencer / FightNews Canada
IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute (30-0, 24
KOs) scored a dominant twelve round unanimous decision over 42-year-old Glen
“The Road Warrior” Johnson (51-16-2, 35 KOs) on Saturday night at
the Pepsi Coliseum in Quebec City. Johnson was never able to solve the style of
the southpaw champion, although he did end Bute’s string of six straight KOs.
Scores were 119-109, 120-108, 120-108. Bute will now attend the Super Six Final
in December and hopes to face the winner. Meanwhile Johnson stated after the
fight that he thought he won the fight.

Early
results from Quebec City
by Dave Spencer / FightNews Canada
Molitor survives Gauthier
Former two time world champion Steve Molitor(34-2 12KO) won a split decision
over Sebastien Gauthier (21-3 13KO) in what was an absolute 10 round war.
Scores were 96-94 all around with two of the scorecards favouring the Toronto
based fighter and one going the way of Gauthier. Both fighters fought through
cut eyes for most of the fight with Molitor's left particularly bad and the
doctor checking it out before the final round. Molitor got off to a slow start
but controlled a good portion of the middle rounds, connecting with solid lefts
and showing angles over a tired Gauthier who looked to be running on fumes from
almost the beginning of the fight.
Bizier stops Bladt
Hometown fighter Kevin Bizier (16-0 12KO) gave his hometown fans a thrill as
the undefeated welterweight destroyed Christian Bladt with a left hook that had
the Danish fighter down and crashing hard into the canvas and the doctors
coming up the stairs as soon as the count was started. Bizier who hails from
Quebec City put down Bladt with a thud heard in the cheap seats early in the
third after dominating the fight over a defensive minded fighter who looked to
be trying his best to survive.
Hyppolite victorious
Schiller Hyppolite (2-0) ended things with a left hook and took down Dale
Golden (1-1) down for a second time and ended things at 2:28 of the opening
round in light-heavyweight action.
Barthelemy destroys Barrera
Rances Barthelemy got action underway with a bang in Quebec City as the
undefeated Cuban fighting out of Miami destroyed Alejandro Barrera (21-10) with
four knockdowns as he moved to 14-0 scoring his 11th knockout. Only three of
the four counted as one was waived off at the end of first round. It certainly
had it's effect though as Barrera was easy pickings in the 2nd and went down
twice more before calling it a night. Super-featherweight Barthelemy who is
promoted by Warriors Boxing had pin-point control and looked impressive in this
shortened outing.
November 5,
2011Dan vs Aydin Nov 26th
On November 26th, 2011, WBC Silver welterweight
champion Selcuk Aydin and Canada based Romanian Ionut “Jo Jo Dan”
Ion will clash in a re-match which will be billed as “Unfinished
Business” (in Turkish “Büyük Hesaplasma”). In their first
fight in June 2010 Aydin dominated the early rounds, knocking down his opponent
in the first stanza. Jo Jo not only got up from the knockdown, but came back
strong and even seemed to get stronger the longer the fight lasted. In the end,
Aydin won by split decision.
“Both fighters got something to prove. Both guys
think that they still have to settle the score with the other guy. These are
perfect conditions for a great fight,” says promoter Ahmet Oner ...Read more
History
repeats with Alcine
by Dave Spencer / FightNews Canada
If not the cycle of life, it is certainly the cycle of
boxing. One star shines increasingly brighter while another fades further and
further into the background, flickering and showing glimpses of hope, but
becoming increasingly harder to see. New stars are given rise off the names
that came before them. Sometimes the neophytes bite off more than can chew, but
if the cards are dealt correctly, hunger will win out over experience.
That’s what David Lemieux (25-1 24KO) and his GYM promoters are hoping as
the young middleweight hopeful hopes to bounce back from his only career loss
as he takes on former world champion Joachim Alcine (32-2-1 19KO) and fellow
Laval, Quebec resident Joachim Alcine December 10th at the Bell Centre...Read more
Lemieux,
Alcine collide Dec 10
by Dave Spencer / FightNews Canada
David Lemieux lands an uppercut to the chin of former
world champion Joachim Alcine who was appearing via video at today’s
press conference in Montreal. The pair hook up on Saturday December 10th at the
Bell Centre.
Zewski
destroys Henson
By Mariano A. Agmi and Mike Bernier / FightNews.com
Canadian junior middleweight prospect Mikael Zewski
(11-0, 7 KOs) wasted no time in demolishing Albuquerque, New Mexico’s
Keuntray Henson (4-3, 1 KO). A hard right hand dropped Henson hard only moments
into the bout. Henson barely beat the count, only to be dropped again by a
follow-up left hook, convincing referee Gary Rosato to waive off the bout at
1:27 of round 1.
Orangeville, Ontario's Logan McGuinness captured the
vacant NABA super featherweight title with an impressive 11th round stoppage of
former world title challenger Benoit Gaudet moments ago at the Hershey Centre
in Mississauga, Ontario. Time of the stoppage was 1:56. Gaudet employeed the
same strategy as in the Humberto Soto fight, constant movement, stopping only
long enough to fire off a combination or two, before retreating. While not
hurting McGuinness, it did pile up the points. McGuinness, cut over the left
eye as early as round 2, was was forced to chase, trying to cut off the ring
against his fleet footed opponent. McGuinness (16-0-1, 8kos) found success in
the later rounds, coming out on top of most most exchanges and hurting a tiring
Gaudet. McGuinness, behind on the scorecards, finally caught up to Gaudet
(24-3, 10kos) in round 11, dropping him with a left hook. Gaudet was able to
make it to his feet but in no condition to continue. Referee Dave Dunbar wisely
stopped the contest giving McGuinness the biggest victory of his career so far.
Mississauga, Ontario light middleweight Samuel Vargas
scored the biggest win of his career with an impressive stoppage victory over
Montreal's Ahmad Cheikho. Cheikho was unable to answer the bell for round six
in this battle of up and comming prospects. Vargas improves to 8-0-1 (2kos)
while Cheikho drops to 6-4-2 (5kos)
Jeremy Abbott scored a surprising opening round
stoppage of the usually durable Harrison McBain. McBain was dropped in the
early moments of the bout. He managed to regain his feet but was bludgeoned to
the canvas a second time, hard when the bout was immediately stopped at the
1:56 mark of the round. McBain, who had gone the distance with the likes of
Buzz Grant and Steve Claggett, suffers the first KO defeat of his career. His
record drops to 3-4-1. Abbott, fighting out of Dunnville, Ontario, improves to
3-2 (2kos).
Buffalo, New York Light heavyweight prospect Lionell
Thompson, recently signed by Hennessy Sports last week, scored a 6 round
unanimous decision over 44 yr old Abdullah Ramadan of Toronto. Thompson sweeped
all three scorecards by identical scores of 60-54, handing Ramadan ihis fourth
consecutive defeat. Thompson moves to 10-0 (6kos) while Ramadan slides to
15-11.
Brandon "Bad boy" Cook moved to 3-0 (1 ko)
with a 4 round unanimous decision over Darren Fletcher (1-2) of Brantford,
Ontario in a light middleweight contest. Two judges gave Cook every round,
posting identical 40-36 scorecards while the third judge saw it a little
closer, 39-37 in favor of the Ajax, Ontario fighter.
Mississauga heavyweight Dillon Carman had little trouble with Gord Franjic, brother of light heavyweight prospect Steve Franjic, dropping him hard once and finishing him off seconds later to improve to a perfect 2-0 (2kos). Time of the stoppage was 39 seconds of round 1. .
Jean
dominates Lorenzo
by Dave Baggs / FightNews Canada
Undefeated light welterweight prospect Dierry
"Dougy Style" Jean won a lopsided 10 round unanimous decision over
former world contender Francisco Lorenzo of the Dominican Republic moments ago
at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec. Scores of the bout were 100-88, 99-89,
98-90 all in favor of Jean. Jean was able to time the smaller Lorenzo (37-11,
17kos) with the uppercut perfectly as Lorenzo found himself on the canvas in
rounds 1 and 9. The 39 yr old got up each time but was completely ineffective
in trying to get inside the much bigger Jean (20-0, 13kos). Jean controlled the
action for the middle rounds and as Lorenzo began to tire in round 8, Jean
began to touch him more regularly with jab, right hand combinations. The 29 yr
old Jean tried for the knockout in round 10, launching an all out assault but
Lorenzo was determined to hear the final bell, as he has done in each of his 10
previous defeats. The bout was Jean's first since fracturing his jaw in a
victory over Wilfredo Negron last November. /P>
Cruiserweight Eleider "Storm" Alvarez was
simply too big and too strong for one time light middleweight Michael Walchuk,
punishing the smaller man throughout the first 6 rounds until a hand injury
forced Walchuk to retire in his corner unable to come out for round 7. The tone
was set in the opening moments of the first round when Alvarez (6-0, 4kos)
landed a right hand that stunned Walchuk, sending him stumbling into the ropes.
Walchuk fought off the ropes and landed a left hook flush on the chin of
Alvarez who didnt blink. The next 3 rounds had Walchuk using the entire ring,
landing some nice punches but nothing to deter or hurt Alvarez who simply
walked down his man. A 3 punch combination ending with a right to the top of
the head downed Walchuk (9-5, 2kos) in round 5 where the Kitchener fighter took
an 8 count before deciding to continue. Alvarez then punished Walchuk for the
full 3 minutes of round 6, landing punches that split the guard of Walchuk with
regularity. At the end of round 6, Walchuk had his right glove immediately
removed citing a hand injury and ending his night early.
Manolis Plaitis outworked Arvydas Trizno of Lithuanian
over the course of 6 rounds to earn a unanimous decision victory in light
middleweight action. Plaitis (17-1-1, 8kos) simply let his hand go from the
opening bell, leaving Trizno no other option but to cover up and wait on his
punches. The former Canadian champ never took his foot off the pedal, fighting
hard for all 3 minutes of each round. Trizno (9-14-2, 1ko) complained off low
blows, elbows, etc over the first half of the contest, then started playing to
the crowd for the second half instead of engaging Plaitis in the ring. Two
judges gave Plaitis a clean sweep 60-54 while the final judge posted a 59-55
scoredcard giving the one time light welterweight champion of Canada the
decision victory.
Columbian born but Montreal based Oscar
"KaBoom" Rivas lived up to his nickname, destroying Latvian
heavyweight champion Edgar Kalnars in 85 seconds in heavyweight action. Rivas
dropped Kalnar (21-24, 12kos) with the first meaningful punch of the fight, a
right hook. Kalnars did managed to get up but his eyes were glazed and his legs
shaky. Rivas (7-0, 4kos) showed composure, looking for an opening instead of
immediately rushing in, That opening came seconds later as an overhand right
found its mark flush, dropping the 213lb Latvian fighter hard where the bout
was immediately waved off by referee Steve St-Germain.
Ottawa super featherweight Tyler Asselstine put on an
impressive performance in stopping veteran Isaac Bejarano at 1:45 of the 4th
round of their 6 round contest. Asselstine, a former amateur standout, was just
to quick and punched way to hard for the usually durable Bejarano (9-12-1,
7kos) to handle. After taking a right hook flush, Bejarano took sanctuary on
the ropes where Asselstine (7-0, 5kos) jumped all over him, landing punches in
bunches until the Mexican fight sank to the canvas in front of his own corner.
The referee immediately waved off the mismatch, saving Bejarano from further
punishment. When he did regain his feet, his right eye was near closed and his
face sported red welts from the Asselstine onslaught.
Montreal heavyweight Didier Bence remained undefeated,
now 3-0 (2kos), by methodically beating down import Pavel Dolgov over 4 rounds
to capture a 40-36 x 3 unanimous decision. Bence chased his ample bodied
opponent around the ring, landing an assortment of punches that had the big
Latvian teetering and swaying throughout but unable to land that one big punch
to end the night early. A nice left hook hurt Dolgov (8-15-2, 5kos) in round 2
but that was about it. Whenever Dolgov did fight back, his hand speed could be
measured with a sun dial and Bence easily avoided whatever came his way.
Ghislain Maduma kicked off the "Rapid &
Dangerous" GYM card by pounding out a 6 round unanimous decision over
Latvia's Jevgenijs Kirillovs. Maduma (5-0, 2kos) was in complete control from
the opening bell, using his jab to snap Kirillovs' head back repeatedly. For
good measure, Maduma threw the occasional right hook to the body and head,
landing just as frequent as the jab. No knockdowns however Maduma did buckle
Kirillovs' knees in round 4 but credit has to go to the Latvia who showed
plenty of heart throughout. Two judges gave Maduma a shutout 60-54 while the
final judge gave Kirillov (7-12-1, 6kos) one of the 6 rounds, scoring it 59-55
for the Canadian.
Walchuk
jumps at opportunity
by Dave Baggs / FightNews Canada
Three months ago Michael "Flash" Walchuk was
fighting in Buffalo, New York as a light middleweight. Tonight, he'll climb
into the ring at the Bell Centre in Montreal, fighting as a cruiserweight,
taking on undefeated GYM prospect Eleider Alvarez (5-0, 3kos) in a 10 round contest.
Walchuk (9-4, 2kos) took the bout on 3 days notice and hopes that a good
performance here against Alvarez translates into another golden opportunity,
maybe back in Montreal in December. While the 2 time Canadian title challenger
will climb into the ring at a contracted weight of 180lbs, he makes no quip
that his natural fighitng weight is 160lbs, where he is sure to return
following his bout. The 32 yr old Kitchener, Ontario fighter, who is under the
guidance of trainer Syd "The Jewel" Vanderpool, enters the bout
having lost 3 of his last 4 including losses in Canadian middleweight and light
heavyweight title fights.
October 20,
2011Olubowale-Bahoeli April
25
Former Canadian heavyweight champion Ray Olubowale
will meet undefeated Quebec City heavyweight Eric Martel Bahoeli in a battle of
big heavyweights with the winner being crowned the CPBC (Canadian Professional
Boxing Council) heavyweight champion. The bout is scheduled to take place at
the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Calgary, Alberta. The 41 yr old Olubowale is 3 years
removed from his championship run and has but a single victory to his credit
since. The Nigerian born fighter will enter the contest having dropped his last
2 bouts including a 3 round stoppage defeat to Tye Fields this past February. His
record stands at 8-5-1 (5kos) since turning pro back June of 2004. The 30 yr
old Bahoeli is currently 7-0 (4kos) as a pro and will be stepping up in
competition when he climbs into the ring with the 6'7 Olubowale. The 6'3
Bahoeli last action was a 3rd stoppage over Ukraine's Andriy Ivanov last May in
Levis, Quebec. The CPBC will crown its first heavyweight champion since Tom
"the Bomb" Glesby held the title back in 1993 when he stopped Conroy
Nelson in 4 rounds in Toronto.

2011Fields stops Butler
in 6
(Photo: www.FanBasePromotions.com)
Edmonton based heavyweight Tye Fields collected win
number 49 Friday night with a 6th round TKO victory over the always tough
Raphael Butler at the Shaw Conference Centre in Edmonton, Alberta. Time of the
stoppage was 2:37 of round 6 in their 10 round main event on the KO Boxing
promoted card. The victory marked the Montana born boxer's 4th consecutive
victory since last tasting defeat, improving his overall record to 49-4
(44kos). Butler, who took Canadian heavyweight champ Neven Pajkic the distance
in a close slugfest just 2 bouts ago, simply didnt have the power nor ring
savvy to keep the 6'8 Fields timid or cautious at any point in the contest. He
suffers his 11th defeat against 35 victories.
On the undercard, Orangeville, Ontario's Ryan Wagner
ended Rory Coveney's undefeated run with a 6 round unanimous decision victory.
Scores of the bout were unanimous as well, 58-55 all in favor of Wagner who
improves his mark to 4-1 (2kos). Coveney suffers defeat #1, now 7-1 (2kos) as a
pro. Lethbridge, Alberta light middleweight prospect Janks Trotter has little
trouble with Jordan Clarke, stopping the Maritime fighter for the first time in
his career at 1:53 of the opening round. Trotter improves to 6-0-1 (6kos) while
Clarke drops to 4-2-2 (2kos). Undefeated light heavyweight prospect Steve
Franjic moved to 6-0 (4kos) with a 6 round unanimous decision (60-54 x 3) over
Mike Buccanan (0-2). Rounding out the card had St. Albert, Alberta heavyweight
Sheldon Westcott, making his pro debut a successful one with a 62 second
stoppage of Ray Kovinic (1-6) of Niagara Falls, Ontario.
Climbing back in the ring for the first time after a
serious back injury put her on the shelf for 3 years, former IBA Lightweight
champion Kara Ro scored a 4 round unanimous decision victory over Elizabeth
Sherman last night at the Motor City Casino in Detroit, Michigan. Scores of the
bout were unanimous as well, 40-36 all in favor of the pride of Windsor,
Ontario. With the victory, Ro keeps her undefeated record in tact, moving to
17-0 (7kos) while her lesser experienced foe in Sherman dips to 3-2.
Luis
destroys Barrera
by Dave Spencer / FightNews Canada
Tony Luis captured the WBC Continental Americas Lightweight title with an impressive openning round KO of Alejandro Barrera last night at the Pierre Carbonneau Centre in Montreal, Quebec. A left hook to the body dropped Barrera with about 20 seconds remaining in the round and while the 31 yr old one time prospect was able to regain his feet, a second body shot dropped him to his knees where he took the full count of 10. Time of the knockout was recorded at the 3 minute mark. With the victory Luis moves to 13-0 and collects both his 5th KO as well as his first professional title in the process. Barrera drops to 21-9. On the UGC promoted undercard, Ali Nestor Charles (12-5-2, 4kos) outboxed heavy handed Baldimir Hernandez (18-7, 16kos) in taking an 8 round unanimous decision. Scores of the bout read 79-73, 79-73, and 78-74 all in favor of the Charles who hasnt lost a bout since 2005. The only other boxing bout on this MMA/Boxing card featured lightweight Roody Pierre-Paul (4-0, 3kos) who scored a lopsided 6 round unanimous decision over Mexico's Isaac "Pollo" Bejarano (9-11-1, 7kos). More to come.
