    I know a trainer in NYC who says he trainer 50 and that he only had around 3 amateur fights, novice class. WAS NEVER the Golden Gloves champion.

      They say Gary Shaw was into self-flagellation but I don't believe it.

        Ahmet Oner, of Arena Box, fought as a professional light-heavyweight. His record was 16-5-2. (You can look it up on Boxrec.) Oner once co-promoted Yuriorkis Gamboa, along with Top Rank. He currently promotes Odlanier Solis.

          Turk-German Ahmet Oner boxed and now has a decent promotional business.Thankfully unlike the two mentioned in the op Oner is a man off integrity and does business the right way

              That guy is the one who rang the bell during the Danny Williams vs Airich bout 2 minutes into the round when his fighter was about to get KOd. The funny thing is they allowed the fight to continue without questioning why the promoter had just got up and rang the timekeepers bell.

                My favourite Ahmet Oner moment is when he personally rang the bell with a minute and a half to go in a round in the Williams-Airich fight:
