Report/Photos: Boxing Bob Newman

Thurgood Marshall Promotions staged an exciting 6 bout card at Red Owl Boxing Arena in the Houston, TX suburb of Willowbrook Saturay evening. The sparkling 1200 seat arena opened in June and with cocktail tables, elevated theater-style seating, food, refreshments and a kicking DJ, there isn’t a bad seat in the house.

Heavyweights Zachary Spiller, Houston, and Forth Worth’s Aaron Chavers opened the show in a scheduled four rounder. The first round was a feel-em out stanza, as the 43 lb. heavier Spiller stalked, landed some body shots, while Chavers looked to stay out of harm’s way. Referee James Green halted matters after Chavers was trapped in a neutral corner, taking heavy bombardment, at 2:25 of round 2. Spiller now 4-0, 3 KOs, while Chavers slides to 9-13-1, 4 KOs.

Report/Photos by Joe Koizumi

Newly Crowned Wbo Ap Ruler Deok Nun YunKorean 168-pound prospect Deok-No Yun (8-1, 6 KOs), 75.5 kg, impressively acquired the vacant WBO Asia Pacific super middleweight belt as he exchanged hot rallies with Australian Tej Pratap Singh (18-7-3, 8 KOs), 76.15 kg, had the right earlobe profusely bleeding and saw the referee call a halt to the grotesque bleeding at 2:15 of the sixth round in a scheduled twelve on Saturday in Seoul, Korea. From the outset they mixed it up in the close range with Yun overpowering the southpaw rival, who, however, fought back hard with solid body shots in the fourth. Before the stoppage, the Korean six-footer had leading on points: 49-46 twice, 48-47, all for the sturdy Korean Yun. The taller and physically stronger Yun repeatedly landed left hooks to the right earlobe, which began to bleed too profusely and grotesquely to go on. The Thai referee Surat made a well-received halt to have the Korean newly crowned with the crowd roaring to its feet. Korean boxing fraternity is coming back.

Cuadras wins WBC interim superfly belt

Jalolov, Nursultanov win, ex-champ Molina defeated

By David Finger at ringside

It may have been the last place boxing fans would have expected to witness a pair of Mexican contenders clash for a vacant WBC world title, but in front of nearly 12,000 boxing fans in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Lift Promotions hosted what would prove to be a memorable night of boxing featuring two close friends in Carlos Cuadras and Pedro Guevara as they battled for the vacant super flyweight title. With WBC junior bantamweight champion Juan Francisco Estrada (44-3, 28KOs) looking to be sidelined until next year, the winner was looking to not only capture the interim belt, but establish themselves as the mandatory challenger to Estrada.

Although #3 ranked veteran Guevara was seen as the slight favorite going into the ring on November 17th at the Humo Arena in Tashkent, it would be the #2 ranked “Principe” Cuadras who would walk out of the ring with the WBC belt after capturing a split decision over his countryman.

Shakur: I had a bad performance

Shakur Stevenson captured the vacant WBC lightweight crown with a unanimous decision win against Dominican puncher Edwin De Los Santos on Thursday night in Las Vegas, but neither fighter was satisfied afterward.

Shakur Stevenson: “I had a bad performance tonight. That’s all I’m really focused on. I wasn’t feeling too good, so I’ll live with it. It’s okay. I came here and got the victory, and that’s all I wanted to do. I just didn’t feel good. I didn’t feel good before the fight. Honestly, I had already told myself that if I feel like this in the ring and if it’s not going well, I’m going to make sure that I box and get the victory.”

Edwin De Los Santos: “We all know what happened. He came for a track meet. He didn’t come to fight. I showed that I am on a higher level because he never stood and fought like he does with other fighters. I did my job. He came to survive. That’s what he did. They gifted him the title, but I’m the people’s champion.”
