A true highlight of my 5 years covering club boxing around the 🌎
Sponsoring a fight between an 🇦🇺 Australian & a fighter from 🇧🇩 Bangladesh
A fight for the WBC Australasian Silver title 👑🏆
And, one hell of an introduction 🙌🏼
Thanks my friend
@mjaltamura
! So grateful 🙏🏼
Very scary in South Africa please 🙏🏼 for Simiso Buthelezi (4-1). At 2:43 of the 10th & final round, Siphesihle Mntungwa (7-1-2) falls through the ropes but then Buthelezi appears to lose his understanding of the present situation. Mntungwa takes the WBF African lightweight title
At the time of the stoppage, Simiso Buthelezi was almost certainly headed to a 10 round decision victory and was removed from the ring under immediate medical care. The WBF made the right decision to postpone the belt ceremony for Mntungwa at the moment.
CRAZY scene last night in Matamoros, Mexico as 44yr old heavyweight Alejandro de la Torre (2-11) rams 39yr old Eric "Little Drummer Boy" Molina (28-7) through the ropes in the 2nd!
After a 2 hour delay - Molina got the victory

I deeply love boxing & it's truly amazing warriors. I've committed more than 20 years of my life to the sport as a fan. Not even a drop of salt compared to those who give all of themselves & are never the same. Or sadly, pass away. Days like today I repeatedly ask why. Gutted.

I know many are interested in Buthelezi's condition, as am I, as we all continue to pray for his recovery. I am not the right person to share news on his medical situation. I'll be patient and allow those close to Buthelezi share confirmed & official updates when appropriate 🙏🏼

Many of you were friends with Guillermo Lopez aka DaniboGizmo from Houston. Sadly, Guillermo passed away Tuesday. He was 33.
I remember Guillermo as one of the hardest of the hardcore. His intricate knowledge of fights & fighters was second to none.
May he rest in peace 🙏🏼

Anyone can be a front runner. That's two times now in his career that Jermell Charlo was right at the top of the mountain and experienced disappointment. Both times he comes back and and delivers career best performances. Thats a champion. One of my 5 favorite fighters.

Absolutely bizarre scene in the ring in Germany. Danny Williams has just made his ring walk in civilian clothes and has told the ring announcer he isn't fighting. With his opponent gloved up and in the ring.
Just when you think you’ve seen it all. 2am in Germany & Danny Williams (53-28, 40 KO's) makes his ring walk in civilian clothes, supposedly to face Gueney Artak (6-0, 6 KO's) for the GBA heavyweight title. Williams informs the crowd he felt ill in the morning & can’t fight.
Masterful all around performance by Kazuto Ioka 井岡一翔 (30-2-1, 15 KO's) as he takes a UD-12 win over Joshua Franco (18-2-3) to take the vacant WBA World Super Flyweight title in Tokyo 🇯🇵. Official scores far too close IMO, 115-113, 116-112 x2

Absolutely disgraceful decision in Rotherham, Yorkshire. Tommy Frank (15-2-1) is credited a knockdown that was clearly a push/slip 20 seconds left in the 12th as he was beaten all night by Craig Derbyshire (8-28-4)Frank defends his BBBofC British Fly Title on a 12rd split draw
There just aren't enough adjectives to describe this fight. Sam Eggington (31-7) takes a SD-12 victory over Bilel Jkitou (15-1) to defend his WBC Silver middleweight title in Coventry. A legitimately brutal FOTY candidate. Scores 112-116, 117-11 & 117-112
It was completely uneventful until the eraser of a right hand by Murat "Iron" Gassiev (30-1, 23 KO's) stops Mike Balogun (20-1) for a KO-2 win and the vacant WBA Inter-Continental heavyweight title in Yerevan, Armenia
