Provodnikov-Algieri Results: Monaghan Beats Muriqi

•Jun 14, 2014

Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York - Light heavyweight banger Seanie Monaghan (22-0, 14KOs) won a ten round unanimous decision over his most experienced opponent to date, veteran Elvir Muriqi (40-7, 24KOs). Monaghan scored a knockdown in the fourth, but he was cut bad, above both eyes, in the ninth and his face was a bloody mess until the end of the bout. Monaghan was too strong and too aggressive for Muriqi in most of the rounds. All three judges scored it 99-90.

Boxcino Begins: Two 0’s Go, Facebook Scores a Winner

By Cliff Rold - Fans got a little bit of everything on Friday night at the Edgewater Hotel and Casino in Laughlin, Nevada, in the opening round of the Lightweight “Boxcino” tournament. There was a knockout, two undefeated fighters taking their first loss, boos after a split decision, and even an overtime decided via social media over the course of four bouts scheduled for six rounds. Overtime? It was that kind of night and fun from start to finish. The final quarterfinal bout of the evening gave fans the lone knockout of the evening as well, ending any chance of an undefeated tournament winner in the cradle of the event. 23-year old Fernando Carcamo (16-5, 13 KO), 135 ½, of Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, Mexico, scored a stoppage in two rounds over 30-year old Samuel Kotey Neequaye (21-1, 15 KO), 135, of Accra, Ghana. The referee was Jay Nady.

Will Boxcino Give Boxing a Star: The Lightweights

by Cliff Rold - It’s always about tomorrow. Even the biggest nights in boxing history only really lasted from bell to bell. Sure, there can be time for reflection, but the real rush is in the anticipation for, and culmination of, a bout. When it’s over, the question is always the same: What’s next? Friday night at the Edgewater Casino in Laughlin, Nevada (ESPN2, 9 PM EST/6 PM PST), four six-round bouts will set the stage for a pair of tomorrows. The real hope has to be what comes after those tomorrows are complete. It is the beginning of what have been named the “Boxcino” tournaments, two eight-man single elimination tournaments in the Lightweight and Middleweight division. These aren’t the first tournaments boxing fans have had to look forward to. Unlike the HBO Heavyweight tournament in the 80s or the Super Six Super Middleweight tournament a few years ago, this one isn’t looking to crown a champion.

A manager from the former USSR – Russian-born/American-based Vadim Kornilov – made an impressive splash last year. His fighter Ruslan Provodnikov (23-2, 16 KOs) has done even more in terms of thrilling moments and adrenaline rush than the majority of Russian fighters combined. Having been treated as your average ESPN creation, the Siberian Rocky became the central part of the Murderous Trio, which also lists The Triple G (WBA/IBO middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin) and Krusher Kovalev – a new, ex-Soviet version of the famous Murderers’ Row of 40’s and 50’s.

Rapidly rising light middleweight prospect Taras Shelestyuk (4-0, 3 KOs) is back to the ring in less than two weeks on July 26. Shelestyuk, managed by Ruslan Provodnikov’s guider Vadim Kornilov, is said to be colliding with journeyman Adam Ealoms (3-3-3, 1 KO) in Lincoln, California, as a part of Juan Carlos Burgos vs. Yakubu Amidu ESPN-televised showdown. The bout is scheduled for six rounds but can be cut down to four if it makes for the cable channel’s broadcast. “I don’t know anything about my future opponent except of the fact that he is a lefty”, said Shelestyuk. “We shall soon start studying his tapes to reveal his strengths and weaknesses. I’m sparring with Tyrell Hendrix now and I’m pumped up for a serious six-round clash”.

Oleg Maskaev Wins Life and Death Battle With Gavern

•May 26, 2013

Oleg Maskaev (38-7, 28 KOs), the Big O, now reduced to a very small window of future prospects, continued his rocky road with a life-and-death unanimous decision over fellow veteran Jason Gavern (21-15-4, 10 KOs) in a non-title ten-rounder, held at Mordovia sports arena in Saransk, Russia. The bout also proved irrelevance of a famed former WBC heavyweight champion as a real player in the sport's glamour division and his foggy future.
