WBC #8, WBO #10 and IBF #13 heavyweight contender, Shannon “Brooklyn” Briggs’, 45-4-1 (39 KOs), fight for the NABA and USBA Heavyweight Championships against Chris “Special K” Koval, 23-2 (18 KOs), is being moved to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on February 25. Originally slated for January 27, an ankle injury suffered last week by Briggs forced the rescheduling. Additionally, if all goes according to plan, also appearing that night will be power punching heavyweight prospect JD “The Natural” Chapman, 19-0 (17 KOs), who will face fellow Arkansas native Tommy "Concrete" Connelly, 15-7 (11 KOs), in a twelve-round showdown. Chapman must first win his February 4 fight at the Pope County Fairgrounds in Russellville, Arkansas against Marvin Hill for the NABC and Arkansas State Heavyweight Titles. Promoter CKrush Sports and manager Scott Hirsch are currently finalizing the details.You forgot 113 ranked by boxrec,that's where he belongs :cool:
Yeah, it was cactuseskimo for a long time until my account stopped working. Then I changed it to "The Dreaded Spin". This was becuase Radar was annoying the crap out of me and always going on about people "spinning" this and that.
Speaking of Radar, I haven't seen him post in a while. I haven't posted much lately either.
Bye the way, I'm also an fellow (now, ex) Nova Scotian. I'll be cheering for Johnson to get things back on track this year as well.
:rolleyes:Nice work :cool:
The thing is it's not about Judah not being able to train properly or not. It's about his weak ass chin, Camacho Jr. could knock him out, they should both have a fight to see who has less balls!!! Judah should stay out of boxing and keep doing hip hop video cameos.He could have been in Paul Walls video,Grills :D
Kirk Johnson hasn't the heart or the incline to be champion. he is a part timer who is looking for easy pay days. He should retire!He's not going to get paid much for this.It has alot to do with his people,he does want the big fights.I know he is at about 235 right now,that's a good sign.
Bullshit. John Ruiz has amazing names on his resume: Rahman, Holyfield, Johnson, Oquendo.
Baldomir has only beaten Zab Judah...He acted his way out of the Johnson fight. :eek:
Baldy: People that talk shit are judah nuthuggers/balllicker that cant stand he won so they talk sh*t and put him down. I mean damn you can hate him or whatever so so what he's not the best champion ever but his 9losses mean he really is in this sport for the love of boxing and achiving his dream. Im not saying people have to like him,but they ahve to respect him for what he was able to accomplish. Basically they dont like him cuz he not a good/well known fighter.
MAB:these people are just f**king stupid if you cant respect this man. So he has a bad fight (or pac style is bad for him) so what..he has said he wants to fight pac. He beat Morales and morales embarassed pac so i dotn see why pac has to call the shot here and say he wants a rematch. Dont get me wrong i respect pac but his fans are way over rating his ass and making other not liek him because there so into him beign liek superman. MAB is one of the best fighters in our era and if people (especially those who have seen his fight/wars) can appreciate that,then f**k there poser boxing fan ass.I read in his early years he needed the money,so he took fights on short notice and was often injured.This maybe why he has so many loses!
Baldomir is PATHETIC. I think Judah losing to him is the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen happen to a fighter I liked.He would have been more embarrased if he got in the ring with Floyd :D I never thought Zab was all that good!!
Ruiz sues Toney for $10m!
WBA heavyweight champion John Ruiz has filed a $10 million lawsuit against contender James Toney according to the Boston Globe. Ruiz argues that Toney would not have defeated him without the use of an illegal annabolic steroid and asserts that Toney's use of Nandrolone and allegedly defaming statements after the fight have caused him significant financial damage and damage to his reputation, which impact his ability to make a living in boxing. Toney defeated Ruiz by decision in April, but the bout was declared a no-contest ten days later after Toney failed his post-match drug test. The paper states that Ruiz's suit is believed to be the first case of one professional athlete suing another for using performance-enhancing drugs.
