[BoppaZoo]

I was just wondering where is my man Dekkers with the ladder.

Is it just me or do i sound like i want my name up on the ESB Tipping Winners list or what.

[Robot16]

Do u guys have a tipping round this week??

As its a very ordinary round with very few matches happening worldwide & just 1 world title fight between Hugo Cazares & Ivan Calderon for WBO Light Flyweight Title.

We can still run it, its just that we wont know many, if any of the boxers.
Yeah i reckon we should still do it.
It would still be fun, because noone would really have an advantage.

[BoppaZoo]

Yeah i reckon we should still do it.
It would still be fun, because noone would really have an advantage.yeah i agree with you Robot no one will really have an advantage or disadvantage. i say continue the Comp.

these are the possible fights for this week end.

Hugo Cazares vs Ivan Calderon (WBO Light Fly Title)
Roman Martinez vs Daniel Jimenez (WBO -Inter Con 130 Title)
Jimrex Jaca vs Ryu Miyagi (WBO Aisa Pac 130 Title)
Tony Oakee vs Brian Magee (British 175 Title)
Randy Suico vs Koji Samejima (OPBF 135 Title)
Bernard Dunne vs Kiko Martinez (EBU Super Bantamweight title)

Now i know we dont all know many of these guys but by Tipping this week we will learn more about them. and it could be an interesting week for some from the back to catch up.

[Kegsy]

[BoppaZoo]

Ok fine i will post 5 of those matches up.:goodNo probs Kegsy i wasnt trying to say this how it should be, but i feel with these type of matchups we will learn more about guys we dont know making our knowledge broaden in the boxing world.

Also i feel that this round could be very interesting for tipsters trying to catchup because shit we could pick or even me i could pick nothing but all the losers.

Its all good mate.
Should be really interesting as i have seen only 4 of these guys which is prob more than most.
Probably 1 or 2 matches of each of those 4 guys as well.

[maco_187]

am i the only one that hasnt watched any of these fighters before? i generally dont watch the lightweights unless it pac or cotto or someone of that stature, i wish the bigger guys fought more often!!!!

Notes;


Feel free to join fellow Aussies (and Kiwis, Poms, Danes, Swiss expatriates, etc). When Kegsy puts up this weeks fights, just pick who you think will win, either by points or stoppage, and put a joker on the fight you think is a sure thing. You'll start at the bottom of the table with whoever is comming last, but not to worry, each season is only 12 weeks long anyway.

Scoring system is on the first page if you're curious, if there's a fuckup pm me :good

[MSTR]

What happens if Cazares doesn't make the weight (which he won't).... It isn't really a fair fight then. Does he lose automatically for all the people who picked him, because technically he does?

[BoppaZoo]

If he doesnt make weight we just scrap that whole fight.

That would be the fairest way. Because no one really knows any of these guys to begin with.

That would be my solution to that problem.

[MSTR]

That sucks because I have seen Calderon fight on a few occasions and I am very confident he can cruise to a UD. He is a very talented fighter out of Puerto Rico, very slick.

[Kegsy]

That sucks because I have seen Calderon fight on a few occasions and I am very confident he can cruise to a UD. He is a very talented fighter out of Puerto Rico, very slick.Ivan Calderon is a damn talented boxer.
If only he had more power he would KO just about everyone at 105 & 108.

[BoppaZoo]

That sucks because I have seen Calderon fight on a few occasions and I am very confident he can cruise to a UD. He is a very talented fighter out of Puerto Rico, very slick.But if Cazares doesnt make weight everyone will just change there picks so everyone picks the winner.

[MSTR]

But if Cazares doesnt make weight everyone will just change there picks so everyone picks the winner.
I reckon we just wait and see how close he gets to making the weight.

[Kegsy]

I reckon we just wait and see how close he gets to making the weight.If he makes weight & wins the fight, then it would be quite an achievement by Cazares.
I think he goes to 112 pounds after this fight.
He is just a beast at 108. To be 5ft6 is amazing at that weight.:deal

He will be far too weight drained. It will be like hitting a skeleton.

[Sai]

Did Cazares make weight

Dont think its been done yet. If he does then I reckon theyll have to stretcher him in and out of the weigh in cos hes going to be a fucking mess.

[BoppaZoo]

Dont think its been done yet. If he does then I reckon theyll have to stretcher him in and out of the weigh in cos hes going to be a fucking mess.see how much bigger Cazares is to Calderon.
Can i just say now if Cazares doesnt make weight im changing my pick from Cazares TKO - to Calderon UD everyone is ok with that.

[Sai]

Well tbh, I based my pick on the fact that he would make weight, ie so that Cazares would be way to drained to fight well, so hed get beat by Calderon.

If he doesnt make weight, but the fight goes on anyway then Cazares will win the fight (despite losing the belt).


So, if he doesnt make weight, and its not an official title fight can we get this one anulled?

Calderon made 107pds,
While Cazares made 107.7 pds.
Also there is a stipulation that Cazares cant weigh more than 118pds tomorrow on fight night

[ashley]

I think we should see a lot of movement on the table this week with lots of people going up and down.....just hope I dont go to far down...good tipping guys:good

[nrgetic]

No one picked Kiko Martinez to beat Bernard Dunne in their EBU Super Bantamweight Title fight. I good case of group think maybe but I don't research my tips and I had no clear view

[Robot16]

yeh i know a 1st rd ko, an upset.
Also randy suico won by stoppage in 8th i think,
and jca jiminex is a draw in the 2nd rd.
Ivan calderon is about to start, you can watch it om cctv5

[Robot16]

Calderon wins by split decision,
martinez wins by 12th rd ko over jiminez,
Bernard dunne gets kod in the 1st rd,
suico wins by stoppage,
Jaca gets a draw.

Also Randy couture put on an impressive display by stopping Gabe gongaza, also GSP decisioned Koskcheck, GSP outwrestled him.

[MSTR]

Very suprised that GSP outwrestled Koscheck (spelling). Both top fighters. I would love to see that one. Boppa must be spewing he um'd and ar'd about the Calderon fight and ended up picking it wrong. That lead is going to SLOWLY dwindle away mate.

[Dr Gonzo]

No stuff it im sticking with my original picks stuff Calderon he is going to get worked over.

:blurp

[Marcus]

I had my joker on the draw.....

So i get to pick two jokers next week right :hey :hey

[Dr Gonzo]

I had my joker on the draw.....

So i get to pick two jokers next week right :hey :hey

yep im in the same situation

[Marcus]

I need help, im already at the bottom.

Fuck its funny how Barge left :happy :happy :happy we drove him outta town baker :good

[Robot16]

Yeh it was a good showing by both guys, but GSP just took Kosh down pretty easy, in the 3rd kos tried to get GSP down by a single leg he just couldn't do it.
Also in the 2nd rd GSP had hold of a kimura for a few mins.

Haha yeh i wish this comp went for like 20 weeks:D

[Dr Gonzo]

I need help, im already at the bottom.

Fuck its funny how Barge left :happy :happy :happy we drove him outta town baker :good

yeah im glad the cunt is gone

besides Oganov i cant think of any other worthy bouts coming up this weekend? :huh

[BoppaZoo]

:blurpfrom what i read the wrong man got given the decision.

Most people said Cazares won at least 7 rounds and he had the Knockdown in the 8th.
Another bullshit decision in my opinion and it reminds me of the Erik Morales decision.

[Dr Gonzo]

yeah very similar situation - i am going to watch it tonight but its a robbery from what i have heard

[BoppaZoo]

RESULTS FROM THIS WEEKS FIGHTS

Calderon SD 12 (Another BS decision if you ask me)
R.Martinez TKO 12
K.Martinez TKO 1
Suico TKO 8
Jaca/Miyagi TD 2 (fight stopped on cuts) a draw.

[BoppaZoo]

[Kegsy]

Next Weeks Matches
Ricardo Torres vs Kendall Holt - WBO Light Welterweight Title
Victor Oganov vs Fulgencio Zuniga - Vacant IBO Super Middleweight Title
Daniel Dawson vs Anton Solopov - PABA Light Middleweight Title
Mzonke Fana vs Javier Osvaldo Alvarez - IBF Super Featherweight Title
Yutaka Niida vs Eriberto Gejon - WBA Minimumweight Title

[Robot16]

yeah im glad the cunt is gone

besides Oganov i cant think of any other worthy bouts coming up this weekend? :huh
The Torres Vs Holt fight should be good.
IMO Oganov has not really fought anyone of note yet.
But since he has not fought anyone of note he has did what he is supposed to with them and that is to get a ko.
Gonna watch pavlik vs Zuniga and see how much punishment he rec'd.

[Hmmm]

Ricardo Torres points
Victor Oganov KO (jk)
Daniel Dawson Points
Javier Osvaldo Alvarez - Stoppage
Eriberto Gejon (!who???!!) points

I'll should have the table up 9.00 p.m tonight, however I have one important announcement!

If any of the frontrunners want to play their cards close to their chests, feel free to send me your picks via private message and I'll take care of it :good

This is the system I was thinking of implementing next season, purely voluntary of course, just an option for those who want to take it.

So suffer in your jocks Thirdgeary.:lol: :good

[MSTR]

Agreed. It will only really work if everyone sends their picks via pm. It the real sure fire way to avoid "group think" as Nrgetic would say

[Dekkers]

Thats dead right!!!

Im losing all by myself thanks :good

I always sabotage my picks, can't have the organiser winning...that's my excuse anyway :p:-(

[Dekkers]

Agreed. It will only really work if everyone sends their picks via pm. It the real sure fire way to avoid "group think" as Nrgetic would say

Nah, let the group thinkers group think, it's nice to have a safe option in case you've got absoloutely no idea, that way we can have our more serious and casual players all having a go of it.

[Kegsy]

im puttin my tips in the old fashioned way.
Got nothing to hide.:yep

20 weeks was just way to long, I remeber we cut it short at about 16-17 rounds. I'll tell you what we'll make the next comp an old school 15 rounds, then we'll just take a vote on what people prefer after that :good

If you want to pm them, sure. You don't have to, you can always do it the old fashioned way :!:

Apparently Bryrd, Povetkin, Brock, and one other fighter are going to be in a heavyweight tournament with the winner facing off against Wlad, Povetkin faces Byrd in his semi :bbb

[MSTR]

Nah, let the group thinkers group think, it's nice to have a safe option in case you've got absoloutely no idea, that way we can have our more serious and casual players all having a go of it.
Fair enough. I can see where you are coming from. Don't want to push away the people who don't have quite as much knowledge but still want to have a bet.

[Thirdgeary]

Damn, i'm going to get exposed now;)

Seriously though, the pm idea is the go... just got to get my posts up to 75:yep

Somewhere in the general forum, format will look a little familiar but with some additions. Which is bad, loads of people in the general forum and with all the extras in his format he's given himself a lot more work and areas to make mistakes, if I was him I wouldn't let more than 40 people or so join that comp.

If you want to pm them, sure. You don't have to, you can always do it the old fashioned way :!:

Apparently Bryrd, Povetkin, Brock, and one other fighter are going to be in a heavyweight tournament with the winner facing off against Wlad, Povetkin faces Byrd in his semi :bbb
Yeah i am pretty sure its 'Fast' Eddie Chambers fighting Calvin Brock.
Yeh Povetekin vs Byrd should be good.
But having to recent ko victims of Vlad's in a tournament to fight him, i mean :patsch.

AFL is killing me. I bet $9k on a 1-39 point spread in the winning margin in the Sydney vs Brisbane game and is was a draw. It didn't matter who won as i covered both sides but the outcome of a draw was painful. I had the right idea but lost the cash that night. Bugger!

I have cash on Holt, unless he end up on the floor seeing stars he will easily outbox Torres IMO. I put a small bet on Carlton (that was a lot more speculative)

WBA minimumweight champion Yutaka Niida this time won more convincingly after he defeated Filipino Eriberto Gejon via unanimous decision seconds ago at the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan.

Scores were 117-112 (twice) and 117-111.

Interesting one this week in that I am the only one tipping Zuniga. Now that I know this strategically it would be possibly in my interest to change my tip to Oganov so I make sure I can't lose ground in the tipping competition relative to those that are just behind me. This might suggest that their is a moral hazard in the nature of our tipping competition because similarly I could have deliberately chosen Zunia to make up ground on those in front of me. I am going to stick with my tip because it would be wrong to change it and how sweet it would be if Zuniga did actually stay on his feet and fight a smart fight against Oganov (not that I think that is likely)

I suppose we aren't playing for sheep stations and it takes out some of the fun if the competition is done using private messages. I think we should keep it in the open, I was only musing but would not suggest any change

It's purely optional in case there's a week you want to play your cards close to your chest :good, just remember you have choice if you want it.

[nrgetic]

Possibly the option of a private message tip could be available in the last 3 weeks of a competition but for the period before that I think it is over the top that people conceal their tips

I agree, Zuniga is by far the best fighter that Oganov has faced.
I think oganov is abit overhyped atm.
The only guy to stop zuniga was pavlick and thats when the corner stopped it.
Id prefer zuniga to win, but he could get outworked.

[nrgetic]

Zuniga KOes Oganov in round 9 - NICE!!!!

Zuniga KOs Oganov!
Fulgencio Zuniga (20-2-1, 17 KOs) tore the veil of invincibility from previously unbeaten KO Artist Victor Oganov (26-1, 26 KOs) on Saturday night at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Washington. After suffering a questionable first round knockdown, Zuniga schooled Oganov, exposing Oganov's total lack of defense before brutally knocking him out at 1:25 of round nine. With the win, Zuniga claims the vacant IBO super middleweight title.

[BoppaZoo]

RESULTS SO FAR

Niida UD 12
Zuniga KO 9
Fana KO 9

There are the results so far with still the big fight of the week so far i can tell you i have only picked two of those outcomes with a Joker being one.

After the week ive had it looks like i might lose the lead in the tipping but if i keep it it will be close.

TORRES You F-ing champion losing the whole fight only to pull out the TKO in the 12th and save Boppa's ass in the tipping comp.

I mean the Aussie population is about the same as New York's and we are great at so many sports probably up there in the top 5 sporting nations in the World yet your population is 200 million more or so probably more than that and we still beat you at some sports.

You really have no clue on anything do you.
considering we play so many sports in Australia we are lucky to have as many good boxers as we have.

Ive seen Holt before very very chinny. i wasnt impressed but having said that he was infront in the fight but Torres should have Ko'd him earlier he just didnt back his ability.

Chaos in Colombia as Torres Stops Holt in Eleven



[Only registered and activated users can see links]***********.com/uploads/10138_thumb.jpg ([Only registered and activated users can see links]***********.com/?m=show&id=10138) By Keith Idec
BARRANQUILLA, Colombia - In what rapidly turned into a dangerous environment for virtually everyone inside the Jumbo Saloon Country Club early Sunday morning, Kendall Holt's championship dream was washed away amid a downpour of beer, soda and water.
Holt was ahead of World Boxing Organization junior welterweight champion Ricardo Torres on two of three scorecards entering the 11th round, but Torres dropped Holt near Holt's corner with a right hand that gave the hometown hero a chance to complete a remarkable comeback. What transpired thereafter, though, is open to interpretation.
As Holt tried to use his legs and held to avoid another powerful punch from Torres (32-1, 28 KOs) in the 11th round, he continuously slipped on what was an extremely slick surface caused by fans hurling innumerable full beer cans and bottles and cans of soda and water into the ring. With flying ice cubes, liquids, plastic and aluminum seemingly endangering the safety of Holt and Torres, referee Genaro Rodriguez, who also appeared to stand directly in harm's way, declined to halt the action so that the surface could be dried and order could be restored around ringside.
The Chicago-based referee instead stopped the fight with a tiring, retreating Holt (22-2, 12 KOs) still on his feet late in the 11th. Holt, his manager/assistant trainer, Henry Cortes, and head trainer Aroz Gist all attempted to protest the stoppage, but Rodriguez dismissed their complaints in the ring, which quickly filled with fans security personnel couldn't stop.
"(Rodriguez) didn't say anything (in the ring)," Holt said. "He said, 'Move. It's over. You were hurt.' "
Their exchange was much more heated in the lobby of the Barranquilla Plaza Hotel once Holt arrived from the nearby arena. While walking past Rodriguez, who was talking with other WBO officials, an emotional Holt screamed obscenities at Rodriguez for actions Holt believes cost him the WBO's 140-pound crown. Rodriguez responded by telling Holt, "F*ck you!," and then moved toward Holt, before bystanders intervened.
Moments earlier, Rodriguez acknowledged near ringside that the slippery surface might've warranted a break in the action.
"It could've been slippery enough," Rodriguez said, "but the action of the fight was more important at that time."
Rolando Marcos-Hermoso, the WBO's rules supervisor for the fight, contradicted Rodriguez moments later, stating that WBO rules require a stoppage when a surface is that slippery.
"That's what the rules state should've happened," Marcos-Hermoso said. "I don't want to step ahead of myself, but I do want to have a conversation with Rodriguez about the situation."
Marcos-Hermoso seemingly dismissed any responsibility for the chaos that unfolded during and after the fight, too.
"At the moment it was happening," Marcos-Hermoso said, "there was a lot of aggression and the crowd was getting crazy and there was a lot of emotions going on. The local authorities never guaranteed protection for the event here."
Colombia's Billie Chams, a respectable man who had conducted a smooth, first-rate promotion prior to fight night, admitted afterward that he was embarrassed by the actions of many of the roughly 1,600 in attendance. "I am not proud of the crowd, just because that never happens here," Chams said. "In this place, the crowd is always perfect. And tonight, I don't like the things that I saw. ... I never expected that to happen because I've promoted (21 previous) world title fights and it never happened."
When the scary scene unfolded early Sunday morning, no one seemed safe.
Darren Antola, Holt's cut man, was hit with a full beer can, which left him with a knot on the back of his head as he prepared to head to the airport for his flight back to New Jersey. Ashema Evans, Holt's girlfriend, suffered a cut on her leg when out-of-control Colombian fans began toppling tables in the VIP section to bum rush the ring, which looked like the ring at Madison Square Garden the night a riot broke out during the Riddick Bowe-Andrew Golota fight in July 1996.
"Could you imagine what would've happened had Kendall knocked this guy out?," Antola asked. "They acted like this and their guy won. We wouldn't have made it out of there alive if he lost."
Even Miami-based welterweight Hicklet Lau, Torres' primary sparring partner for the Holt fight, said, "I was scared, and I wasn't even in there boxing." Torres was more fearful because he thought at least a brief break in the action was inevitable during the eighth round. "I was worried that the referee would've stopped it in the middle of the round, to calm the people down," Torres said through Lau, who interpreted for the champion.
"That would've given time for Kendall Holt to recuperate."
Torres recuperated well after Holt dropped him with a left-right combination in the sixth round, despite that he didn't seem to really regain his legs until the ninth round. His cornermen implored him to pressure Holt because they thought he was down "two or three points" after nine rounds, according to Torres.
Torres was actually only down one point through 10 rounds on the scorecard of Miami's Stuart Winston (95-94), but seven points down on the card of Puerto Rico's Jose Torres (98-91). The third judge, Barranquilla's Manuel Rodriguez, predictably had Torres in front following 10 rounds (95-94).
Had the 11th round ended, however, Holt would've been behind on two of the three cards due to the knockdown he suffered during that three-minute period. Had the 12th round started, Rodriguez (105-102) and Winston (104-103) would've had Torres in front, while Holt would've remained comfortably ahead on Torres' card (106-101).
"I was slipping all over the place," Holt said of the 11th round. "Like I was telling them (before the fight), if I lose, I lose. But don't cheat me. I'm a man and he's man. If he beat me, fine, he beat me. But not like that. ... I got cheated, point blank."
Holt seemingly should've been credited with another knockdown earlier in the bout, as a right hand to Torres' chin forced Torres to use the ropes to prevent him from falling out of the ring. Rodriguez ruled that a slip. Still, Torres is certain that Rodriguez saved Holt from danger by stepping in when he did.
"I thought Kendall Holt was seriously hurt and that the referee did the right job," Torres said. "If it would've continued, he could've been seriously injured."
The night began in much more positive fashion for Holt, who was slightly favored by oddsmakers despite that the champion and one of the judges are from Barranquilla.
Holt was led to ring by a pair of tin instrument-playing, bongo-banging Barranquilla brothers, 12-year-old Reinaldo and 11-year-old Royer Castano, whom the affable boxer befriended while they were making music for money outside the Barranquilla Plaza Hotel, where Holt and his handlers stayed.
Cortes also arranged to play a popular Colombian song, "Amor de Mi Sabana," that temporarily endeared him to the imposing pro-Torres crowd. The 26-year-old fighter from Paterson, New Jersey, also wore multi-cultural gear into the ring, which had the colors of the American flag on the front and the colors of the Colombian flag across the back.
Torres, meanwhile, defended his WBO belt for the second time. The fight was broadcast on free TV throughout Colombia, but it wasn't televised at all in the United States. Chams, Torres' co-promoter along with Top Rank Inc., unsuccessfully tried to sell the American broadcast rights to the fight to DirectTV and Dish Network when neither HBO nor Showtime boxing executives expressed interest in paying a license fee for it.
The 27-year-old Torres earned $135,750 for the bout, as per terms of a WBO-ordered 75-25 purse split for the mandatory match. Holt was paid $45,250, roughly $5,000 less than he earned for defeating Greece's Mike Arnaoutis in an elimination match to secure this title shot on April 20 in Atlantic City. Torres defeated Arnaoutis (17-2-2, 9 KOs) by a widely disputed split decision on Nov. 17 in Las Vegas to win a WBO belt unbeaten
Miguel Cotto (30-0, 25 KOs) relinquished last year to move up to the welterweight division.
Torres, who has only been beaten by Cotto,, made the first defense of his 140-pound crown on April 28 in Barranquilla, where he dominated Mexico's Arturo Morua (24-10-1, 13 KOs) throughout their 12-round fight. His second defense was much more controversial, and could prompt to Holt-led litigation to either force an immediate rematch or have the bizarre bout declared a no contest.
"This is the type of stuff that sucks about the boxing business," Cortes said. "You work so hard, you come here and then you get fucking robbed. It's unfortunate. I just hope the WBO does the right thing. What else can we do?" When asked about a rematch, Torres seemed disinterested.
"I've been in other places and seen worse things happen," Torres said. "But if it happens and there has to be a rematch, and it's the right money, I'll be ready."

you can take a punch in the ring eh? i always knew you were a homo

You know the one.
And anytime Kegsy ANYTIME.:yep :good

[BoppaZoo]

I cant believe Holt thought he was cheated i mean what did he expect fighting in Columbia.

Plus he always had a very suspect chin. Holt wasnt robbed especially when you get hurt bad and the ref stops the fight. Thats not robbed Erik Morales was robbed in his last fight that is robbed Kendall.

I thought it was funny when just about everyone here picked Holt obviously they did'nt see him on ESPN Friday Night fights like i did.

Yeh well i wont see the fight until next week, until then i cant say what or what not had happened.
Well Boppa we all saw Lewis get ko'd by the rock and mcall, why didnt everyone else pick against him against everyone else he fought after that?
We all saw Zab get ko'b by Zoo, yet still many people thought he can beat Cotto(cotto's been hurt but neve ko'd).
Torres has a better chin than holt, but since holt lost on Fnf's he is now a bum who will get ko'd by anyone?

Controversy in Colombia!
September 3, 2007
By Jose Reyes ([Only registered and activated users can see links])
[Only registered and activated users can see links]

Kendall Holts attempt to win a world title came up short when he traveled to hostile territory in,Colombia to face WBO junior welterweight champion Ricardo Torres. Speaking from the safety of a Miami Airport, Holt told Fightnews.com, "Colombia was nothing but chaos man. You had beer cans coming down, bottled waters, you had cups with ice....the whole nine yards coming right into the ring....the crowd was throwing everything they got in the ring at me." Manager Henry Cortez stated "Kendall got hit with a beer can in the face. When Kendall went down, which was at the corner of Ricardo Torres, somebody pulled his leg, I mean it was just crazy....Kendall Holt dominated Ricardo Torres. The thing is, if Kendall knocks out Ricardo Torres, we don't come out of there alive!"
Q&A KENDALL HOLT
Kendall, sounds like you had a pretty tough fight with everyone, not just the fighter in the ring?
Jose, It was worse than Riddick Bowe against Golota. (In reference to the wild crowd)
Pandemonium huh?
Pandemonium is exactly right.
At any point did you fear for your life?
You know what? I was just concentrating on Ricardo. The eleventh round was just a bull rush that I had to deal with. I could deal with the bull rush but I couldn't keep my footing because I was slipping all over the place. At the same time, right before the referee stopped it, I am pushing him off so I can get my balance and fight back!
Now, you had him hurt, you had him down in that sixth round, that's when you got hit with that beer can in the face. Did that hinder you, and not being able to finish the job?
I couldn't see out of my right eye. I would see blurry, he got saved by the bell. The very next round, the bell rang, they gave two minutes to tie his boots. The referee goes to his corner and tells him to tie his boots! All the people from Colombia, at the Hotel the restaurants, everybody comes to me and congratulates me and tells me that I got cheated on that fight. The whole country said, that I won the fight. Everywhere I went people stopped me to take pictures, autographs, they wanted T-shirts, they wanted headbands, whatever they could get, they wanted. They was just, so happy, they was like "he is one of our guys, from our country, but he really lost."
Now Ricardo Torres, if he gives you a rematch, would you fight him in Colombia?
(Laughs) I hope that's a sarcastic question Jose. I wouldn't go back for nothing.
What's next after this?
Hopefully we can get this decision overturned. They can see (on the tape) when this guy, grabs my leg and hopefully that will transpire into a disqualification and give me the right to wear the title by disqualification.
But, to settle things in the ring. Would you fight Torres in the states?
Oh, I would definitely fight him in the states.
Would you finish him this time?
Definitely, because I won't box with him this time, I will go out there with an aggressive jab. I'm going after him. I'm going to make him fold like a poker hand, a bad poker hand.
Did you feel his power, anything that you can't deal with?
Look, the boy can hit hard, he can hit hard. He caught me with one hard punch in the entire fight. That was in the fourth round, he caught me with a hook, and that was the only time I felt his power.
Now, talk to me about that eleventh round.
Eleventh round, he came out in a bull rush, all right. I knew I was in control of the fight, a moved around, giving him a lot of movement. Because I know, when I moved, he stopped. But then he cornered me, he caught me… I go down and I get right back up. When I get back up, that's when, that's when all hell breaks loose. They wanted (the crowd) wanted me to stay down.
So, you get back up, they began throwing all this items onto the ring. Nobody stops it, nobody calls time and takes order, correct? The fight continues despite all this going on?
I'm slipping, he is throwing punches, I don't even feel getting f**king hit, but I'm slipping, I'm trying to push him off me as he is coming, you know, it was hard fighting him, fighting the people, fighting with stuff on the ground (bottles, debris on the canvas) I'm fighting…(he pauses, to reflect) you know what? Because I was winning. You know? The rules state that if people throw stuff in the ring, you got to stop, clean and break. Geno Rodriguez said it was more important, not to stop the action and you know at first he said that he didn't know there was stuff in the ring. First he said he didn't, then he said it wasn't important to stop the action!
How soon, do you want to get back in the ring with Torres?
You know what? I just want them to overturn the decision. They will see that the guy did grab my leg. You know what will make me real happy? That they mandate a rematch and Ricardo was to say 'alright, I don't want to fight you.' Thank you give me my belt.
Let's say you get your belt Kendall, who do you want to fight?
Who do I want to fight? Geno Rodriguez....at a catch weight.
(Laughs) I got ya. What would like to say to your fans here on Fightnews?
I would like to thank everybody for their continued support. I would like for Geno Rodriguez (the referee) to man up, and admit that he made a mistake. I argued with him and I yelled at him at the hotel, (the night of the fight) which was wrong. I tried to apologize to him the next morning, but he said he didn't want to talk to me, which is fine. I just wanted him to know that I was apologizing and that I was wrong. I shouldn't have done that, I made a mistake, I apologized. If he made a mistake, apologize! Things happen, we're human. He probably was scared, and I have got to say that the WBO will do the right thing, they are one of the best organizations out there.

Q&A HENRY CORTEZ
Talk to us about what happened Henry.
Henry Cortez: Colombia was nothing but chaos man. People throwing beer cans, bottled waters and the whole nine yards with Kendall Holt in the ring in the eleventh round.
Kendall was ahead in the bout until that eleventh round?
It was a shut out, Kendall won every round except for the round he went down. Kendall controlled the fight, dominated Ricardo Torres, it was actually an easy fight for Kendall, easy fight.
What was it that allowed Kendall to get caught with a punch in the eleventh round?
Kendall got up against the ropes, he made the mistake, and he started exchanging with him. He got caught with a good shot, you know, he went down, but as soon as he went down, he got up, jumped around. He was fine, and as soon as he got up the crowd was throwing everything they got in the ring at him.
These were individuals sitting close to ringside?
No, you know what it was, the place was set up like a theater. The actual ring was set up to the front with the balcony right above the ring. You had beer cans coming down, bottled waters, you had cups with ice the whole nine yards coming right into the ring!
The referee made no attempt of stopping the bout to control order?
Geno Rodriguez made no attempt, not once, to stop the fight, call time-out and set order. I think, you know, I think because he's human, he probably got scared, everybody got scared. It was chaos. Let me tell you what he said to the newspapers (In Colombia), because we got it recorded, at first he says, "Well, I didn't see anything coming into the ring" which is crazy because everybody saw it. Then he says, that he saw it but he felt that the action was more important, which it didn't make sense because Kendall was slipping all over the place and getting hit with some. As a matter of fact, when Kendall went down which was at the corner of Ricardo Torres, somebody pulled his leg, I mean it was just crazy! Somebody pulled his leg.
Did anybody from Kendall's corner see that?
No, well I didn't see it, at the time I was more worried about getting hit with something, to be honest with you, yeah it was crazy. I mean from round one it was out of control. We couldn't even get into the ring because they were bombarding us (making their ring entrance at the start of the fight). We had to like fight are way through the crowed to get to the ring, nobody walked us in. I was like 'holy shit,' it was just crazy.
Was there any security there or police?
You know what, I think they had like two or three cops. That was it. I didn't see anyone else, I saw personally myself, two police officers, that was it.
What was the capacity at this place, how many could it hold?
It wasn't a big place, but it was packed, like two thousand. Even in the 6th round when Kendall laid out Ricardo and once we get the tape I want to check the count because the count seemed, instead of 10 seconds it was like 15 seconds. Kendall got hit with a beer can in the face.
This happened when Kendall dropped Torres?
Yes, when Kendall was in the neutral corner he got hit with a can of beer in the face. That was the only shot out of the other two that Ricardo hit him with, because Ricardo couldn't touch him. Kendall Holt dominated Ricardo Torres. The thing is, if Kendall knocks out Ricardo Torres, we don't come out of there alive!
So, what's the next step for the Kendall Holt camp?
Were doing an automatic protest and what I would like to see is that the WBO steps up and does the honest thing. Reviews the tape, get us a no contest. Eliminate this fight that just happened, because it's not even a reality first of all, there should be a mandatory rematch.
When you said automatic protest, did you talk to the WBO people right there after the match?
I left Paco a message (over the phone) and at the fight I spoke to the supervisor and I think the supervisor was a little…, everything that happened was little over his head and he wanted to digest everything, probably wants to sit back and analyze the tape. He didn't really want to remark on it, he was kind of nervous about what he was going to say. He want's to sit back and see what happens, but I think he knows in his heart, because he was there, he was there.
He was there? Well, what more do you want?
I even spoke to the judges, and their exact words where "These people are animals." They couldn't believe what was happening. You know Stewart Winston was at the hotel, and he apologized, and I told him 'it's not your fault.' It's not the promoters fault. It's just sad because you know what? We had a real good time. We enjoyed Colombia. The people loved Kendall there, everything was great up until the fight. The promoter did a great job, promoting the fight. Kendall was on the front page of the newspapers every day. You know, they loved Kendall more than Ricardo, up until the fight. It was Kendall Holt in the front pages, on the television news. But hey listen, I think Geno just got nervous or something man. It was crazy, he made a mistake. When he watches the video and sees what happened, it says it how it is.
Even so, you are not returning to Colombia and fight again are you?
No, we are not going to Colombia to fight there, but like I said earlier, you know what, the good side is that we are here at home (with a sigh of relief) in the United States, we're in Miami right now and I think if Kendall Holt knocks this guy out, maybe we don't make it out of there.
That's what it sounds like, yeah.
It's just four or five guys from America there, what are you going to do? You know, instead of beer and water bottles, they would be throwing chairs.
Now, when the stoppage was called (Torres flurries), Kendall was throwing punches back and he was fine?
Oh, yeah he was punching back. Ricardo did not even touch him, but in the flurry Kendall was more trying to keep his balance, but then I talked to him and he tells me 'Somebody grabbed my leg.' I look over to Ricardo's corner and there is like 30 people in the corner. God knows who did it, you know? There was just no control, it was just crazy. No security, no order. I think the WBO, they are one of the best organizations around and hopefully they will do the right thing, I know tomorrow is a holiday but I will have my attorney, Patrick English, jump right on it, and do it formal, you know. I just wanted to add Jose, that Billie Chams, the whole promotion team, they are great people. They treated us like family. There is nothing bad to say about them but unfortunately what happened, happened. He is a very honest guy, that is well respected, one of those old time guys, that his word is gold, you know?

So deal my friend move on tommorow is another day.:thumbsup :yep

[Kegsy]

Morales was definitely robbed way worse than Holt was thats 4 sure.

[BoppaZoo]

Morales was definitely robbed way worse than Holt was thats 4 sure.Yeah thats my point Kegsy. I was angry but theres not much you can do about just like theres not much you can do about Holt thinking he can get a fair decision or win in Columbia.

[Kegsy]

Yeah thats my point Kegsy. I was angry but theres not much you can do about just like theres not much you can do about Holt thinking he can get a fair decision or win in Columbia.Yeah if i was Holt, i would have definitely made sure none of the judges were from Colombia for a start.
Also make sure all the ref's & judges are experienced as well.:good
No officials from Latin America basically.

[BoppaZoo]

Yeah if i was Holt, i would have definitely made sure none of the judges were from Colombia for a start.
Also make sure all the ref's & judges are experienced as well.:good
No officials from Latin America basically.Thats why i PM'd my picks to Dekkers i knew that just about everyone would pick Holt and hardly anyone didnt take into consideration that the fight was in Columbia aswell as the Hispanic judges and Ref.

Its like a German fighting in Germany.

Location Location Location.

Plus i always thought Holt had a suspect chin after the Davis fight anyway.
Look i was right this time but there has been plenty i have been wrong about this year. You win some you lose some.:good

[BoppaZoo]

Also Kegsy this is the last round for this comp isnt it. Ive lost count but i would love to see how close it is.

Yeh im not upset Holt lost, its just everyone is saying the kid has no chin, i knew hed get ko'd, well that good but get over the Davis fight man.

Yeh Morales is one of My Favourite fighters, but i thought he would get stopped by Diaz, so i was happy with the fight, although i would have liked him to win, especially his last fight.
But i was happy knowing he put on a good final performance(even though he should have gotten the decision, especially after what he gave the sport).

Notes;


Feel free to join fellow Aussies (and Kiwis, Poms, Danes, Swiss expatriates, etc). When Kegsy puts up this weeks fights, just pick who you think will win, either by points or stoppage, and put a joker on the fight you think is a sure thing. You'll start at the bottom of the table with whoever is comming last, but not to worry, each season is only 12 weeks long anyway.

Scoring system is on the first page if you're curious, if there's a fuckup pm me :good

[BoppaZoo]

This week is going to be a decider I think (apart from first place). Will be very interesting. I am going to actually try and research the fighters that I don't know this week, as a last hurrah.Man i analyze every fighter down to there last 10 fights or so.

And at times i will even go searching on youtube to see if theres any footage of guys i havnt seen fight.
Also i decided to do my picks early this week that way the guys behind will have to take silly chances to get in front.

Like Mares and Pedermo who stands no chance in Germany against a German.

Witter vs Harris was the hardest decision but i felt Witter although he was good against guys like Corley,NDou Harris will get the better of him and maybe even stop Witter.

[BoppaZoo]

Also this goes to Thirdgeary and Nrgetic i could have been a real ass and just waited til you choose your picks and just copied them but i thought i would pick first so thats gives you an option to still play and make it a fair game.

I thought id show a bit of sportsmanship and if it just so happens that it costs me the comp so be it but i thought this way was better. i actually didnt like PMing me picks to Dekkers the other week because i picked Torres and didnt get no satisfaction out of doing that way.

Anyway good luck to my main rivals Thirdgeary and Nrgetic and who ever wins im glad i did it this way so i didnt just use the easy way out and picked the same picks as you two to win.

[Dekkers]

That's very sporting of you Boppa, but the pm rule is made with them in mind, so if a character less scrupulous than yourself was leading the comp (I'm not pointing any fingers... except one at Teke, who I tend to randomly blame for everything :p), they could make picks without having to worry about something like that.

BoppaZoo - good man - that what this forum and competition is about - having a crack and seeing how it plays out based on your opinion. Re Torres I feel that you got more than enough satisfaction after the fight!

Junior Witter KOs Vivian Harris - very happy about that seeing I had money on it!

I didn't think Witter would KO him but. He is usually pretty feather fisted, although Harris is chinny also. Witter must have improved leaps and bounds since the Zab Judah fight.

But good work Witter.

Your picks were a little off this week Boppa:huh

Looking closer i need Skinny to win on points to beat Boppa.
If he wins by KO we draw for 1st place:yikes

Cant believe Judah couldnt knock out his opponent how funny.
But having said that who would have thought Witter had enough Power to KO Harris not me. That was a tough fight to call for me as i hadnt seen alot of Witter at all.

Nah he does have some pop, he dropped ndou a couple of times.
But in the last harris fight i saw he was not that impressive, a decision win.
But a good win for him.
Yeh i thought Zab would come out and try to make a statement.
Thats the thing with him though he is not consistent.
But at least he has got some rds in.

[BoppaZoo]

But at least he has got some rds in.Yeah Zab hey what can you say except wasted talent. although Yes he did get some rounds in and some on the general forum said he hurt Vasquez early but for me Judah will never be the same.

As for Witter because he is a UK fighter like usual we dont get to see much of them but it sounds like he is ready for that date with Hatton. Thats if Hatton doesnt retire after losing to PBF.

Harris now shows me he is to inconsistant for me and i probably will not tip him against anyone decent anymore.
I dont know why now i picked Harris maybe i thought Witter would get hurt and then Harris would jump on him.

Its been interesting this tipping Comp i feel and i probably could have just taken the easy option and won this on the back of picking the same as Thirdgeary but i will say if Hussien KO's or TKO's the Japan fighter i feel it would only be fair.

Yeah Zab hey what can you say except wasted talent. although Yes he did get some rounds in and some on the general forum said he hurt Vasquez early but for me Judah will never be the same.

As for Witter because he is a UK fighter like usual we dont get to see much of them but it sounds like he is ready for that date with Hatton. Thats if Hatton doesnt retire after losing to PBF.

Yeh after Harris's win over juan lazcano i could not pick him to defeat harris. Then he gets a good win over johnston.
He is like judah in my eyes, too inconsistent, ray oliviera beat him, he gets ko'd by maussa. Goes well one minute then bad the next.
He is still a good fighter though.

Whereas witter lost to Zab (that was a good Zab, and still green witter).
Its good to see witter got up for this big fight.

Also Zab, yeh that is a shame cos he has so much talent yet just wastes it. Imagine if Gatti or ward had his talent.

I think Gatti would be like a bigger version of MAB. I miss Gatti already its a shame because there are not as many guys like that around anymore.

Guess What Nedal Hussein gets stopped in his fight with Takashi Uchiyama in the 8th round.
I read the other guy was good but i didnt think he would force a stoppage.

Yeh i had a feeling he might lose.
His opponent was naturally bigger. Hyped abit too, from what i read.
Also never performs under the bigtime.
Also they are not bringing Hussy there to win.
Damm if hussy won i would have had a perfect week.

also anyone here see hussy vs Pacman?
If so was Hussy fighting heaps dirty headbutts and elbows?
Read that on a Pacman site.

[PorkChopExpress]

Wow. WOrst week ever. Except the one i didn't put in my picks. Boo hoo!

[Robot16]
