Mikey Garcia, Top Rank Legal Battle Has No End in Sight

Steve Kim

•Jun 20, 2015

The last time Mikey Garcia (34-0, 28KOs) was in the ring was on the night of January 25th, 2014. Since that period he's been sidelined and in litigation versus his promoter Top Rank. And it doesn't look like he'll be fighting anytime soon until this legal situation is cleared up. "Well, they're taking Todd (duBoef, president of Top Rank) deposition on Thursday, then they cancelled mine," said Arum, who's a bit bewildered by what's been taking place.

The last we saw of Brandon Rios he was beating Mike Alvarado into submission in front of Alvarado's hometown fans near Denver, Colorado on January 21st. His next assignment could be for the IBF welterweight title versus Kell Brook (35-0, 24KOs). Bob Arum, who's company Top Rank promotes Rios, said on Friday: "Eddie Hearn is going to call me on Monday. He's in San Francisco. He has a fighter fighting against Andre Ward and so once he gets back he'll let me know." (For the record Paul Smith is facing Ward at the Oracle in Oakland tomorrow night).

Team Lomachenko: We Have ZERO Interest in Walters

•Jun 19, 2015

So in the wake of Nicholas Walters losing his WBA featherweight title on the scales last Saturday before facing Miguel Marriaga (who Walters out-pointed at the Theater of Madison Square Garden), is there any chance that the highly anticipated clash between he and WBO featherweight titlist, Vasyl Lomachenko, still takes place in the fall? "For what?" scoffed Egis Klimas, the manager for Lomachenko.

Gennady Golovkin has been one of the most active fighters at the world class level since making his debut in the United States in 2012. The plan coming into this year was again to keep that brisk pace of fights. The goal was to fight four times as they did in 2013. Is that still the goal? "That's the way it started out, he had two fights before the end of May in 2015. Right now, it really depends on who is available, the HBO schedule. So it's unclear as of right now what the fall schedule will be like but within the next couple of weeks we'll get a good idea on when his next fight will be and who it will be against," said the Managing Director of K2 Promotions, Tom Loeffler.

There had been a rather alarming trend with heavyweight prospect Andy Ruiz in recent fights. Never exactly svelte, his weight had been steadily climbing in recent fights and his weight was creeping up into the 260's. After he struggled in his last outing in December against Sergey Liakhovich, he was effectively shelved by Top Rank till he lost a significant amount of weight.

•Jun 17, 2015

On Tuesday night, BoxingScene.com reported that a light heavyweight tilt between Jean Pascal and Yunieski Gonzalez, scheduled for an HBO televised date of July 25th, was in jeopardy of falling apart. The situation was serious enough that plans were already in motion to replace the fight with a title defense by WBC flyweight champion Roman 'Chocolatito' Gonzalez, who made a successful premiere on HBO on May 16th by blowing out Edgar Sosa in two rounds. Some of the names being mentioned to face 'Chocolatito' are Brian Viloria and Giovanni Segura.

After his dominating points win over Delvin Rodriguez on Friday night in Chicago, Erislandy Lara and his reps weren't shy about expressing their desire to face WBA middleweight titlist, Gennady Golovkin. So have they dialed up K2 Promotions? "No, I haven't heard from his camp," said Tom Loeffler, the Managing Director of K2 Promotions, who has masterfully handled the career of 'GGG' the past few years.

•Jun 16, 2015

A few weeks ago a light heavyweight tilt between Jean Pascal and Yunieski Gonzalez was announced as the HBO co-feature to Sergey Kovalev's debut outing at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas versus Nadjib Mohemmedi on July 25th. But, multiple sources have told BoxingScene.com that that match-up is on the verge of falling apart over undisclosed reasons. And in their place could be WBC flyweight titlist, Roman 'Chocolatito' Gonzalez, who made a successful premiere on the network on May 16th by blowing out Edgar Sosa in two rounds. Some of the names being mentioned to face 'Chocolatito' are Brian Viloria and Giovanni Segura.

Sources have advised BoxingScene.com that IBF bantamweight beltholder, Randy Caballero, will be making his return to the ring on August 8th at his familiar haunts of the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California on a card that will be televised by HBO Latino. The undefeated Caballero (22-0, 13 KO's) won the vacant title last October in a hard-fought affair versus Stuart Hall in Monaco. His first title defense was scheduled for February 27th against Albert Guevara but was scrapped when a cyst was discovered in the lower portion of his right leg, which required surgery. No opponent has been set this bout.
