In Rusty's Corner
2/28/07 - Rusty Rubin
This week, at the Home Depot Center in Los Angeles, Israel Vasquez takes on Rafael Marquez for the IBF super
bantamweight crown. I look for Vasquez to take a TKO win or score a late decision over the tough and durable Marquez. |

OSCAR -vs- FLOYD ; Will This be the End of The Golden Road?
2/25/07 - Jim Amato
I really can not remember ever rooting for Oscar De La Hoya to win a fight. He was the Olympic " Golden Boy " who
was turning professional and was going to become the next Sugar Ray Leonard. The hype, the ever present smug
smile were just too much for me to take. Things just seemed to come too easily for Oscar. |

2/23/07 - Mike Indri
New Zealand strongman puts in weak effort against Hawkins.
The Roseland Ballroom was filled to capacity last night as the latest chapter of promoter Cedric Kusher’s
Gotham Boxing, titled "David and the Rising Stars", featured former heavyweight contender David Tua on his comeback
trail back into title contention. |

The Saga of Sergei and Lamon & Brian London
2/20/07 - Jim Amato
In April of 2006 in my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio two heavyweights battled in what I felt was by far the
heavyweight fight of the year. The World Boxing Organization's version of the title was up for grabs.
The British produced some quality heavyweights during the 1950's and 60's. Of course " Ol' " Enry ' Cooper
comes to mind. There was rugged Joe Erskine and Wales gave us Dick Richardson. |

Malignaggi & Powell earn decision wins on HBO
2/19/07 - Mike Indri
Saturday night’s HBO televised
fight card, billed as the "Triple Play at the Hammerstein", actually turned out to be a "Homerun" for
promoter Lou DiBella. All three fights, televised on the popular HBO Boxing After Dark series, featured
DiBella Entertainment fighters: headliner Paulie Malignaggi, Sechew Powell and Andre Berto; and all
three came away with impressive wins. |

Beau Jack & Esteban De Jesus
2/17/07 - Jim Amato
The name Sidney Walker would not be very familiar to most fight fans. Mention the name Beau Jack
and you would get a much different reaction. They are one and the same.
If ever a boxer was a victim of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, it was Puerto
Rico's Esteban De Jesus. This former one time claimant of the W.B.C. lightweight title may
have been the best Puerto Rican 135 pounder since Carlos Ortiz. |

Duva Responds to Maskaev/Klitschko Camps
2/15/07 - Big Media Buzz
Dino Duva, promoter of WBC #1 heavyweight contender Samuel Peter, wishes to issue the following response
to recent public comments made by representatives of WBC Champion Oleg Maskaev and former champion Vitali Klitschko. |

Jesus "Chucho" Castillo & Kelly Pavlik
2/15/07 - Jim Amato
He lost his professional debut in 1962 but he would go on to later win
the bantamweight title and be a major force for several years. Jesus "
Chucho " Castillo rebounded from that initial loss to win fourteen
straight.
When Kelly Pavlik of Youngstown, Ohio recently halted rugged Jose Luis Zertuche he sent
a clear message to the middleweight division. He's for real. Don't doubt it for a minute. |

Alexis Arguello-Julio Cesar Chavez & Valuev-Galento
2/13/07 - Jim Amato
DREAM FIGHTS...You hear and read about them all the time. How would Ali have done against Dempsey,
Louis or Marciano?
Nikolay Valuev is a giant of a man. At 7' 325 pounds. He is quite an imposing figure to say the least.
They say he is a nice man and that may well be true, but... |

Happy 80th birthday to outstanding Hall of Fame promoter Don Fraser.
While I have a few material things that I treasure deeply, I’ve never considered myself
a collector of boxing related material. However, my friend Ed Ramos is. Ed Ed’s looking
for a Muhammad Ali (onsite) robe as well as a program or poster from his fight with Lubbers,
or any oddball Ali items. |

Cleveland "Big Cat" Williams & Cuban Great; Kid Chocolate
2/9/07 - Jim Amato
Cleveland "Big Cat" Williams was one of three gifted heavyweights from the 50's and 60's.
Williams, Eddie Machen and Zora Folley were a trio of hard luck boxers who met tragic deaths
after a career of frustration. Machen who lost a decision to Ernie Terrell in a 1965 W.B.A.
He was born Eligio Sardinias Montalbo on January 6, 1910 in Cerro, Havana, Cuba.
He launched his professional boxing career in 1927 and would participate in over
150 bouts in a career that ended in 1938. |

DREAM FIGHT ; LEWIS -vs- IBEABUCHI
2/4/07 - Jim Amato
Ike " The President " Ibeabuchi scored his twentieth and last victory on March 20, 1999. It was an
impressive knockout stoppage of unbeaten, future WBO and IBF heavyweight champion Chris Byrd.
Twenty one months earlier he had handed David Tua his first defeat. Ike was a serious heavyweight
contender but then he took a detour to prison.
Let's just say that Ike does not go to jail. |

Sir Henry Cooper & Doug Jones
2/3/07 - Jim Amato
He came from a fighting family and by the time his boxing career ended in 1971 he was the most
beloved British boxer of all time. Only once did he challenge for the World's title but he
dominated the British heavyweight scene for over fifteen years.
What do you say about a fighter who was good enough to challenge for world title recognition
in two different weight classes? What do you say about a fighter who holds knockout victories
over former world champion and Hall Of Famers Carl "Bobo" Olsen and Bob Foster? |
