BOXING GURU GUS LAID TO REST

12/12/2010 by Young Victor

Boxing Great Gus Mercurio will be laid to rest in The Abbey in Diamond Creek on the 20th December at 2:00pm.

Fightnight at Coburg 3rd Dec.

AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL BOXING HALL OF FAME GOING INTERSTATE

Rumours are alive that the ANBHOF Induction gala dinner is going to be held in Tasmania in 2011.

YVB have heard this a couple of weeks ago but didn't write about it and neither were we brave enough to ask the officials as it just didn't seem right.

After some talks with a committee member it was explained that the ANBHOF is a national body and that sharing the placing of inductions will obviously benefit our family of Boxing Greats which is spread all over Australia. YVB absolutely agree with this, our champions come from all over our great country.

The reason for the possibility of Tasmania being first off the rank is because Country Club Casino has been an ongoing sponsor for some time and have been a key in the financial survival of the ANBHOF in 2010.

More will be published about this as YVB are one of the major media supporters of the ANBHOF.

Fightnight at Malvern
8 rounds Heath Ellis Win UD points Benny Horra

Heath Ellis found his target against a stale Benny Horra seemingly with ease and used his stylish boxing which consisted  of a widely thrown lefts followed by a better aimed right.

This went on for the whole fight other then when Horra started using some aggression in the latter rounds which did not trouble Ellis.

8 rounds Tim Hunt Win UD Aswin Cabuy

Tim Hunt used his supreme boxing skill to perfection giving Aswin Cabuy little chance to ever look good during the whole fight and won easily on points.

Although Cabuy never lacked any courage to make the fight go his way he was completely outclassed and needs to fight boxers in his level of skill.

6 rounds Callan Orchard Win tko 4th Dane Campbell

A star in the making only allowed an experienced Dane Campbell to be a threat for the first 2 rounds of this fight where a few dangerous punches seemed to penetrate which exposed the lack of substantial experience in Orchard.

However from the 3rd round onwards Callan started opening his meanest attacks which earned him a stoppage win in the 4th stanza.

Orchard needs to concentrate on keeping his head lower while fighting as agreed by his trainer John McCubbin.

6 rounds Jimmy James Win points UD  Abner Llanasa

From the red corner Jimmy fought the same way as always and put up a good performance while Abner was far from accurate with his efforts to upset his opponent and was outclassed. Jimmy needs to concentrate on a more telling  punch which will make his opponents pay more respect.

He won the fight easily on points.

4 rounds Terry Tzouramanis Draw SD Matthew Lytwynenko

Terry a walk-up fighter came out with a lot of vigor but his punches were mainly swings and did not land as often as intended.

However these guys put a good action packed fight and a draw was a fitting result.

4 rounds Marc Pante Win tko 4th Dale Burton

Both fighters are big boys and began the first round with good boxing and seemed evenly matched for the first two rounds.

As from the 3rd round Pante started to get on top and the points were going his way, by the fourth round Pante had too much left in his tank and the ref Matt Ropis put an end to the fight for a win to Marc Pante.

Pante needs to get the chubby look in order and shed some kilos if he intends to continue in this fight game, he is unbeaten in his only 2 fights will be meeting stiffer opposition after this.

 4x2 rounds Ashley Caminiti  Win points Steven King

This was a good fight and both fighters produced plenty of action.

Ashley Caminiti proved a little too strong for Steven King.

In the later rounds Caminiti applied more pressure which earned him a point's decision.

The Western Australian Professional Combat Sports Commission fine Briggs.

4/11/2010 by Young Victor

After the sanctioning of the fight by the WA Professional Combat Sports Commission and their Doctor's approval  of Danny Green's IBO cruiserweight title defense fight against Paul Briggs they are now fining Paul $75000.00 .

Paul Briggs, one of Australia's best ever fighters on the World scene is about to have taken off him money which will repay him for his efforts to our game.

There is no proof of Paul Briggs throwing the fight and YVB have explained in the past how matters more than likely unfolded during the event.

This is a major unforeseen blotch by the board as they were obviously in favour of the event taking place obviously not knowing Paul's condition.

Boxer Hatton's fight licence withdrawn
LONDON (AFP) - Former world champion Ricky Hatton suffered a further blow to his reputation as a result of having taken cocaine when his licence to box was withdrawn on Thursday.
The 31-year-old, who faces the prospect of a police investigation, was condemned by the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) for "bringing the sport into disrepute", who ruled his "current physical condition is such that the Board decided to withdraw his boxer's licence".
Hatton was diagnosed with depression and a drink problem by a specialist earlier this month after a newspaper published video footage of the boxer allegedly snorting cocaine. READ MORE

Soliman win by Ko 10th rnd.

Pradeep Singh would have fared better if this fight was some Jujitsu contest as he had San Soliman down 3 times under those rules but no this is boxing.

Despite Singh being substantially taller man with better reach he was too far away when striking any leading punches so his advantage was left unused.

By the mid rounds Soliman took control of the fight and it was just a matter of time until a good body punch in the 10th round put Pradeep down for the full count.

Sam Soliman's condition was as good as always and won comfortably.

After the bout, Mundine looked clearly satisfied at recording the stoppage which was his first knockout since his fourth round stoppage of Jose Alberto Clavero in December 2007 (nine fights ago) and his first stoppage at a weight below super middleweight.

CASEY UPSETS BELL No3 WBA ranker and is the new PABA Light Heavyweight Champion

An epic thriller fight at the Reggio Calabria Club was one to be remembered for years to come.

Tim came out fighting at top gear obviously to show Casey what he was in for, however Casey countered well and himself displayed it was not going to be an easy night for anyone in that ring.

Both fighters looked in top condition despite Bell having not fought for 6 months.

Joel Casey fought back all the way through 12 rounds to even get a points split decision having suffered a cut eye in the fourth round.

Bell a very popular Melbourne local from Yarraville kept up his siege on Casey throughout the fight but Casey so determined to win this fight kept his efforts up and had Tim in some trouble with body punching, Casey was not following up with.

The 11th round saw Casey down and looking like he was in some serious trouble, he got up early and stood for the rest of the count of 8.

He was unsteady but the round ended before Bell could make a good effort to put an end to the fight.

The 12th round made all fans stand as the most thrilling fight came to an end.

Records now stand:

Tim Bell won 18 (KO 13) + lost 6 (KO 0) + drawn 1 = 25
Joel Casey won 11 (KO 6) + lost 8 (KO 1) + drawn 3 = 22

SHAM or no SHAM 

5/8/2010 by Young Victor

Only Paul Briggs can confirm if this fight was a sham and only proof of no brain damage being present in Paul prior to the fight would leave only doubt anyway.

The fact that Danny a fighter that always keeps pouring punches on most opponents while in a journey to the canvas well indicates that he could sense a serious problem may have been at hand.

YVB are amazed why everyone is so surprised that the fight ended so early when there is sufficient knowledge by boxing experts the above is so possible and probably truthful.

PAUL BRIGGS VS DANNY GREEN

Was it a fix?

23/7/2010 by Young Victor

Young Victor's explanation of this fight was already pointed  out prior to this time seen here below but he may add:

Great Possibilty

That something went wrong in Paul Brigg's head by, even, the slightest bump and have caused an eye problem that may have triggered a sign (known to have previously occurred) only he can explain, this may have indicated to him that he should stop fighting.

After all life is more important.

Would people have preferred to see an outcome that may have ended in Paul being disabled or dead?

Boxing will not suffer through all the suddenly out of closet writers coming out of everywhere without any significant experience in the great game of boxing, now seemingly experienced in professional boxing all crying over fans being cheated, robbed and suggesting a fix....

It was obvious from earlier footage that Paul in training was slow and not in good fighting shape.

Boxing is still king and will always be, it is the most exciting sport of all sports.

Green/Briggs fight a farce

21/7/2010 by Young Victor

The first punch was a straight left to the body with the second a left jab by Green which appeared to just lightly graze the top of Briggs head at best, causing Briggs to head downwards with hands in defense while cruising slowly to the canvas. The referee kept counting expecting Briggs to make a better effort to get up which didn't happen.

Briggs looked in bad condition for a fight of that level.

Green apologized to the audience while a lot of booing was taking place.

Some publications indicated that Paul Briggs's purse was $200,000.00, it seemed very easily earned.

A lot more information will be published which will throw some explanation on the saga, Australian boxing fans deserve better.

Danny Green vs Paul Briggs

on Main Event Wednesday

21st July 2010 17/7/2010 by Young Victor

Paul Briggs after a layoff of 3 years will fight IBO World Cruiserweight Champion over 12 rounds for his title.

Green is a hot favourite but Briggs is planning on finishing the fight inside the distance. In theory Green will be in much better condition as he has been in fighting shape since he demolished legend Roy Jones Junior and later Manny Siaca in April 2010. Green has not fought over 5 rounds since 2007.

YVB think Green will be too fast, agile and destructively hungry but Briggs being a big puncher is always with a good chance.

Melbourne results at Coburg 9th July

Daniel Iannazzo vs Allan Jay Tunacao

Tunacao Win points

Tunacao outclasses Iannazzo

 by Young Victor

Iannazzo started in the first round with a seemingly cautious manner and it was thought that he may have been troubled by Tunacao's southpaw stance. Iannazzo stayed well away from his opponent with his punches falling very short of target.

Throughout most rounds Daniel's left lead punches seemed to be aimed only at Allan's right glove and not to the face.

Iannazzo made several bursts of fury he normally makes at most of his opponents but were not working out against his confident opponent. His usual potent left and rights he ends these bursts with were way off target as Tunacao was very fast in ducking and weaving in addition to his good defense throughout.

Tunacao remained very composed throughout the fight and won at least 11 rounds of the contest.

A large amount of standing absolutely still, possibly teasing one another during the rounds was by acted by both fighters with nothing gained.

The split decision by two of the judges stood out like you know what. The scores by two of the judges were  way out.

The technique in fighting southpaws may be a forgotten art.

Susie Ramadan vs Jane Kavulani

Ramadan Win points

Susie Ramadan joined Australia’s boxing elite on Friday night when she defeated All-African champion Jane Kavulani to claim the World Boxing Federation bantamweight title.

Susie kept the pressure on Jane throughout the 10 rounds despite her disadvantage in height and reach.

Susie maintained taking the lead off Jane and followed up with numerous punch combinations Jane had little answers for. Susie Ramadan is ready for higher rated opponents in the WBC, IBF and WBA World ranked opponents.

Serge Yannick vs William Hadlow

Yannick Win TKO rnd 8

William Hadlow with a lion's heart fought the 8 rounds in a gallant manner with plenty of attacks and good defense but fell short of Melbourne's Serge Yannick's brilliant tactics and control of the fight.

At times it was astonishing at how much punishment William can take before relenting but this was no option for the experienced NSW fighter.

In the eight round Yannick went into a higher gear and placed the true hearted fighter William Hadlow in a state where he was unable to continue but still standing. Referee Tony Maretta timely stopped the fight and awarded a Tko win to Yannick.

Memorable WBF Asia Pacific Cruiserweight title fight at Malvern Town Hall

25th. June 2010:

Courageous orthodox fighter Kane McKay (right) dug deep with no avail to find a way to stop promising up and comer Blake Caparello (left).

For 8 gruesome rounds he attempted to turn the fight his way with Caparello a southpaw taunting his opponent in close quarters allowing McKay to shower him with punches which some were connecting and most were not. However this suited Caparello as at payback time he punished McKay with severe rights and lefts.

The fight was a huge crowed pleaser throughout Kane being an expert at creating such events.

YVB expect Caparello to rise up to national standard very quickly as he possesses lots of natural ability that may even take him a long way beyond.

"History in the making"

Towards the end of round 8 with both fighters wearing injuries from this gruesome fight and Kane against the ropes in an upright stance seemingly out on his feet, suddenly, dropped his hands down to his waist and challenged Blake to hit him again which in turn did take place and in turn suffered more blows to the head. Immediately the referee Malcolm Bulner stopped proceedings to award a Tko win to the new WBF Cruiserweight champion.

When asked by YVB in the change rooms why he ended the fight in that manner he responded he had no memory of the instance.

It seems that the towel thrown in at the right moment or an earlier stoppage by Bulner may have saved the last two destructive punches that preceded the stoppage.

There always is a good time for retirement from the game of boxing and Kane's time, a family man and a father of two children can wisely choose this epic occasion to exit proudly.

Blake vs McKay tonight at Malvern

Australian light heavyweight Blake Capparello (4-0, 1 KO) will clash with Kane McKay (8-8-2, 4 KOs) over ten rounds with World Boxing Foundation Asia Pacific 175 pound title up for grabs at the Malvern Town Hall.

Promising and up and coming Capparello will be fighting a man in Kane McKay that only fights to one plan and that is to punish his opponent right up to the last minute of the contest.

Capparello is unbeaten in his 4 pro fights to date, his last victim being Joel Casey, he won by unanimous decision.

New grounds for Capparello will be the 10 rounds as previously only 8 but this said he is one of Australia's promising light heavyweights.

BOXING 11/6/2010

Young Victor (editor of this site) has memories of sparring with much publicized Les Kane (rough boys but later criminals) for just a couple of rounds in about 1960/61.

Les was brought up by his brother Brian Kane to Snowy's gym  whom stood  around the ring watching as YV put him through a few moves but was far from a professional.

Despite living and kicking around North Melbourne in those youthful times YV had selected friends but knew most of the North boys whom were very fond of him through the boxing days.

Brian was the one really more involved in boxing and had a few scraps with a couple of YV's opponents in later days unknown to YV at the time.

YV remembers being taken once to a now, famous two-up game and once going to what they called the Barrel (a party where by midnight a hundred or so boys would belt into each other until heavily marked, black eyes and bleeding) where the next day they would show up in the streets of North Melbourne best of friends.

Porky shapes up for title fight at Cranbourne
BOXER Daniel “Porky” Lovett says the fear of losing in his home town has pushed him to “do everything right” ahead of his Australian title fight at Cranbourne Racecourse on Saturday night.
Lovett, 26, meets Queenslander Shane McConville over 10 rounds for the vacant light heavyweight title. A win would set him up for a tilt at a world ranking.
A crowd of 10,000 is expected at the racecourse.
“If I don’t perform in front of all the locals I’ll look like an idiot. I’ll have to move,” Lovett said last Tuesday.  READ

Frank Bianco returns to gym!

22nd Jan. 2009

Last week Frank Bianco returned to his gym he has run since 1971 looking in good shape after his bad acquaintance with cancer.

Although he is still being treated with chemo he is full of life and looking ahead with confidence. Frank has been running his gym at Lower Templestowe for the last 16 years with one of the last boxers he trained being Luke Moloney, he was recently seen in "the contender series"

Frank started boxing at 11 years of age at the Collingwood youth club with Leo Cole, he won the Golden Gloves award twice 1977 and 78. After turning pro he fought Billy O'Conner and beat Alan Presnell he told YVB he sparred Les Dunn many times Les being a former opponent of the writer.

His gym mates then being Bobby Dunn, Wayne Bannister, Lionel Rose, Leo Young and Johnny Famechon, even Tony Mundine and many more.

According to Young Victor, Frank is a softy trainer and he admits that he does not push his kids which is good practice, he said that unless his boys are absolutely ready he does not let them fight anybody.

YVB hope that Frank keeps on the improve as he has a lot of young men that love the way he runs his gym.

Frank has a good man in Scotty seen below that helps him keep the gym open and Scotty has been doing a great job while Frank was in hospital in keeping the gym running. Dedicated to Frank's gym, Scotty catches the bus from Preston and walks if he doesn't have his bus fare money.

Hopkins / Danny Green

17th Jan 2009

Bernard knows this is not the same Danny that spent so much time around world rated fighters waiting for his big chance and having to return to Australia

There can only be one reason for all the excuses made by Bernard Hopkins in making sure this fight does not take place and that is that he is scared of facing Green after seeing the massive destruction of his American partner in the legend department. by Young Victor

Sam Soliman vs Shannon McMahon for WBF title

13th Jan 2009:

Sam Soliman is to fight Shannon McMahon at Moonee Valley Racecourse 13th March.

What seems a lopsided match, the fight is taking place and places McMahon in what surely looks to be a difficult task to undertake according to YVB.

Shannon is a good boxer but handling Sam may be hard.

Sam a master at spoiling anyone's style, this proven by beating Enrique Ornelas in 2006 who just went the distance with legend Bernard Hopkins in December 09 with Sam still, not getting a chance at a world title.

Common knowledge was that fighting Sam was difficult so he was never given the chance he deserved for a world title fight.

Sam fought and lost to Ronald Wright (Winky) a disputed decision having deserved better result.

Sam Soliman is now on the edge of his career but full of cagey experience with fitness being one of his favorite conditions.

A win for Shannon would be a great achievement, it would place him in a good position for bigger fights. Shannon is a great person and deserves this chance.
