Title bout boxing board game

He was the first and only inductee into the inaugural class of the Texas Boxing Hall of Fame, an organization founded by El Paso promoter Lester Bedford in From an administrative standpoint, boxing in Texas during the reign of Dickie Cole was frequently described in terms befitting a banana republic. Whenever there was a big fight in the Lone Star State, his son was the favorite to draw the coveted refereeing assignment.

Boxing is a sideline for Laurence Cole who runs an independent insurance agency in Dallas. By law in Texas and in most other states , a boxing promoter must purchase insurance to cover medical costs in the event that one or more of the fighters on his show is seriously injured. Make of that what you will. Rival boxing shows compete this Saturday as light heavyweight world titlists are featured in New Jersey while former world champion welterweights and middleweights tangle in New York. Bivol, 27, has slowly, almost glacier-like slow, picked up fans along the way by training in Southern California.

The quiet unassuming fighter with a conservative style and cobra-like quickness appeals to the fans. That, of course, would mean a date with Kovalev should both fighters win on Saturday.

Nothing is certain. Kovalev, now 35, has lost some of that fear factor aura since losing back-to-back fights to now retired Andre Ward. FOX will televise the main event and others at 4 p. When he knocked out Victor Ortiz in a rematch two years ago Berto looked sharp and dangerous. But against Shawn Porter a year ago, the crispness seemed gone and he quickly lost by knockout. Alexander, 31, has the advantage of being a southpaw.

But he always seems to do the minimum when he fights. Last February he slowed down and allowed Victor Ortiz to steal the fight. All the commotion by the announcers was for naught. Defense does not win fights, it allows you to win fights.

The lack of offense in the latter rounds cost Alexander a win in a match that entered the books as a majority draw. Quillin, 35, was ambushed by Daniel Jacobs in the first round a year ago in losing the title.

Was it bad luck, age or both? As a fighter the Brooklyn-based prizefighter has a ton of followers who like him as a person. Few are as classy as Quillin. Love, 30, has long been a mainstay in Las Vegas and since his amateur days his abilities have been touted. Throughout the years Love has shown that charm and friendliness can go a long ways, even in the bitter wars of prizefighting.

But the time has come to see if he belongs in the prizefighting world. Quillin will present an immense challenge for Love. A number of other interesting fights are slated to take place among former world champions including Sergey Lipinets who lost the super lightweight title to Mikey Garcia this past winter.

First, on Wednesday Aug. You read that correctly. The year-old now returns to California against another Californian in Lopez. Ceballo, who is promoted by Promotions, looked good in his last appearance. The amateurish punches seen in his first two bouts were gone by his third pro fight.

His opponent Teague has ability and can give problems if Ceballo takes his foot off the pedal. Female super lightweight Elvina White is also slated to compete.

The entire fight card will be streamed at www. First bell rings at p. Belasco Theater in downtown L. A pair of young prospects will be severely tested. Five of his last fights have ended in knockout wins or losses. Gamez, 23, seems to thrive under pressure and broke down two veterans in back-to-back fights at Fantasy Springs Casino.

Now he returns to the Belasco, a venue where he has struggled in the past. Sanchez, 24, lost by knockout in his last fight this past March. Martin also has experience against world champions. Rojas, 31, is one tough customer. When he took the interim title against Claudia Marrero last year he chased down the speedy southpaw Dominican and blasted him out in the seventh round. Several months earlier he obliterated another Golden Boy prospect, Abraham Lopez not the same Abraham Lopez that is fighting on the Promotions card , in eight rounds.

Now he has the title and defends against the speedy southpaw Diaz. Though he lost by decision three months ago, that fight might be easy in comparison to this challenge against Rojas. Phillie versus East LA is like fire versus fire in the boxing ring. Boxers originating from those two hard-bitten areas usually have go-for-broke styles that result in pure action. Allen versus Navarro should not disappoint. Navarro, 21, lives in East L. Pacquiao , 39 KOs looked exceptionally sharp in his seventh-round knockout win over former junior welterweight titleholder Lucas Matthysse on July 15 at Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

But what comes next for the only fighter in the history of boxing to capture world titles in eight different weight classes? Crawford is ranked No.

Both are highly-regarded, multi-division world titleholders in the primes of their careers who are universally considered the top fighters in boxing. Lomachenko and Crawford would each present a unique set of problems for Pacquiao stylistically. Of the two, Pacquiao probably matches up best with Lomachenko at this point in his career.

Lomachenko , 9 KOs is naturally smaller than Pacquiao and has never fought above pounds. Former junior welterweight titleholder Amir Khan has long been angling for a bout against Pacquiao. Khan faces Samuel Vargas on Sept. Khan , 20 KOs bravely moved up to middleweight to fight Canelo Alvarez in but was knocked out in the sixth round. He left the sport for a spell but returned to boxing in February as a welterweight with a sensational first round knockout win over Phil Lo Greco.

A win over Vargas puts Khan in good position to secure a bout with Pacquiao, and the fight is a reasonable move by both camps. Former welterweight titleholder Jeff Horn won a controversial decision over Pacquiao last year in Australia.

The bout grabbed huge ratings for ESPN and there have been many debates since it happened as to which fighter truly deserved the nod from the judges. Pacquiao would be the heavy favorite to defeat Horn if the two fight again.

Fighters promoted by Top Rank and Golden Boy are almost never able to secure bouts with fighters signed to Al Haymon to appear under the Premier Boxing Champions banner and vice versa. There had been lots of chatter about Pacquiao facing Mikey Garcia next. Garcia , 30 KOs has been decimating competition at both lightweight and junior welterweight.

Garcia is considered by most experts to be one of the top 10 pound-for-pound fighters in the sport. While Garcia is hoping to land a big money bout against IBF welterweight titleholder Errol Spence , most boxing experts believe the jump up to pounds would be too much for the diminutive Garcia who began his career at featherweight. A better welterweight target for Garcia would be Pacquiao who also began his career in a much lower weight class. But Spence is aggressive and fights in a style that Pacquiao traditionally matches up very well against.

Spence would be the favorite based on size, age and skill. Slightly less dangerous to Pacquiao would be facing the winner of the Sept. Garcia , 20 KOs and Porter , 17 KOs are fighting for the vacant WBC welterweight title and the possibility of capturing another world title in his career could sway Pacquiao to seek out the winner. Pacquiao could find himself a slight favorite or underdog depending on which of the two fighters he would face, but both would be winnable fights.

Thurman fight is pretty much nil. Some fans want Pacquiao to face Adrien Broner. Pacquiao would be a significant favorite and would likely stop Broner if the two were able to meet in a boxing ring. Pacquiao lost a unanimous decision to Floyd Mayweather Jr.
