Terrell James (Retired Boxers Foundation) - Whoever said success breeds complacency certainly didn’t have Kelly Pavlik in mind. Pavilik said he wasn’t taking Gary Lockett lightly and would prove it in the ring. Last night, Pavilik was true to his word, blitzing the overmatched Lockett in three rounds in front of a feverish Atlantic City crowd. From the opening bell, Lockett was determined to go to toe. For his troubles, he managed to land an impressive left-hook, right-hook combination that slightly jarred the defending champion. There was only one problem for the Welshman—they were his best shots and the Youngstown hero hadn’t even warmed up yet. Midway through the first round, Pavlik found his groove, landing crisp jabs followed by his trademark sledgehammer right hand. Later in the round, another right from the undefeated Pavlik sent Lockett reeling into the corner covering up to survive the first anxious moments of the fight. Read more

The following is a short entry written by Tony Thompson with regard to his initial press conference, which took place in Hamburg, Germany and Kiev, Ukraine, announcing his July 12, 2008 WBO/IBF mandatory unification title challenge against the champion Wladimir Klitschko..

By Tony Thompson: “I’ve had great experiences in Hamburg in the past and this was no exception. I arrived in Hamburg on a Monday afternoon (May 28) with my manager Nate Peake after a full day of traveling from Washington, DC. Already being a little under the weather, I wanted to rest up from a very tiring trip, and be ready to face Klitschko face-to-face looking strong and healthy for the press conference the following morning.

IBF cruiserweight champion Steve “USS” Cunningham saw some comments over the weekend from former WBO champion Enzo Maccarinelli in regards for the Welshman desiring a fight with Cunningham. “Enzo’s people know that my promoter Don King and Frank Warren already had some preliminary discussions” said Cunningham. “Some complications happened to slow things up…Frank Warren is going into the Hall of Fame this weekend so he knows what it will take for a classy champion like myself to get me over to United Kingdom. I just want to make the biggest and best fight possible in the Cruiserweight division.”

“First of all I want to apologize for all the confusion in this fight. And I want to point out that I never meant to cheat on Danny in any way. If it would have been my goal to steal the victory from him I wouldn’t have thrown in the towel at a point were Konstantin was leading on all scorecards..

To me the first couple of rounds between Konstantin Airich and Danny Williams have been the most entertaining I’ve seen in a while in heavyweight boxing. Konstantin showed a great performance and impressed Danny with his enormous power and very hard hands and sent him to the canvas a couple of times. The way Danny recovered from that and came back to win the fight with all his experience was very impressive as well. The main problem of the fight, however, was very poor refereeing and the officials of the local commission. Read more

I had the guy hurt in the sixth round, on the verge of knocking him out and then what happens? His own promoter stands up and rings the bell, halfway through the round. That’s just unbelievable.” Read more

Although he broke his left hand by dropping Danny Williams in round 3 for the second time German interim champion Konstantin Airich kept on fighting and floored the “Brixton Bomber” again in the 4th.“I was in awful pain”, states Airich. “I couldn’t use my left hand anymore, had to do everything with the right.” Read more
