(5) Evander Holyfield vs. (12) Tim Witherspoon

The fans were not even in their seats when Holyfield landed a massive right hook that sent Witherspoon down for the count!

The winner by KO at the 0:43 mark of round 1, Evander Holyfield!






(6) Gene Tunney vs. (11) Corrie Sanders

Sanders is a headhunter and almost lost his in the first two rounds, but in round three landed a huge right to Tunney’s eye and sent him sprawling to the canvas for an 8 count. Tunney’s eye is badly swollen and he is now in a bit of trouble. All that did though is piss Tunney off. He came back in the 4th round and knocked Sanders down twice before the ref stopped this one.

The winner by TKO at the 2:39 mark of Round 4 is Gene Tunney!









(7) Oliver McCall vs. (10) George Foreman

McCall gains an early advantage in the first three rounds, but in round 4, the tide turns when Foreman unloads a big right and drops McCall to the canvas for a 4 count. Foreman continues the assault in round 5, but in round 6, McCall answers back with a shot to the mouth that busts open Foreman’s lip. While Foreman is swiping at the blood on his lip, McCall busts his left eye open!

The taste of his own blood fired Foreman up and he came out and almost put McCall down in the 7th. In the 8th, Foreman is again pounding on McCall, but McCall does land one clean shot that busts the top of Foreman’s left eye open. He is now cut on top and bottom of that left eye, as well as his lip.

Action slows in round 9. While Foreman looks like a badly beaten fighter, I would be willing to bet he is ahead by a decent margin on all of the cards. In rounds 10 and 11 Foreman looks like the better fighter, well besides his busted up face. As we head into the final round, McCall may need a knockout.

The fight ends and we go to the cards:

Jose Coblan scores it 117-110.
Stanley Berg scores it 117-111.
Medardo Villaobos scores it 117-110.

The winner by unanimous decision is George Foreman. Big George better credit his cut man for stopping the bleeding on all three of his cuts very, very fast!










(8) Lennox Lewis vs. (9) Jack Dempsey

The first three rounds were all Dempsey, at least until the closing seconds of round three when Dempsey lost a point for hitting on a break. After that, Lewis took over for the next three rounds and probably won them all. So after 6 rounds this fight is very very close.

In Round 7, Lewis continues the onslaught and knocks Dempsey down. He barely manages to get up and as soon as he does Lewis attacks him and the ref has to step in and stop this one.

The winner by TKO at the 2:41 mark of Round 7 is Lennox Lewis.

[Marmel]

Winners bracket - These four fights matchup the winners of the first round.


Larry Holmes (6-1, WBO Champ) vs. Chris Byrd (1-1)

Holmes came out and dominated the first 6 rounds of the fight and knocked down Byrd in the second round, but just a staggering blow. Byrd was up after just 2 seconds. In round 7, Byrd changed the momentum when he knocked Foreman to the canvas. He gained a lot of momentum after that and started chipping away at Foreman’s lead. Foreman had a strong last two rounds though and that is what probably ended up winning this fight for him.

Tony Perez scored it 115-111.
Tyrone Short scored it 116-111.
Don O;Neill scored it 117-109.

Your winner by unanimous decision, Larry Holmes!









Mike Tyson (4-3) vs. Rocky Marciano (3-2)

Rocky came into this fight full of confidence, and Tyson has been looking very unsure of himself in recent fights. The trend continued as Tyson was put down in the first round, and then again for good with a big right hook in the second round. Tyson never got up from that hook.

The winner by KO at the 1:56 mark of Round 2 is Rocky Marciano.









Evander Holyfield (3-0) vs. Gene Tunney (3-1)

Tunney came in looking for a quick knockout and busted open Evander’s eye in the first round. His cut man could not get that thing to stop bleeding and in the fourth round the ref halted the fight and called the doctor to the ring. After a few seconds the doctor stopped the fight, saying that Evander’s eye was in terrible shape and he cannot go on.

The winner by TKO at the 2:04 mark of Round 4 is Gene Tunney










George Foreman (2-1) vs. Lennox Lewis (2-2)

The fight was pretty even through the first three rounds, but in round 4, Foreman caught Lewis in the corner and landed a barrage of punches, landing maybe 7 or 8 in a row. Lewis took a knee but got up to continue. It was not long after that when Lewis stopped fighting back and the ref immediately stepped in and called this one off.

The winner by TKO at the 2:56 mark of Round 4 is George Foreman.

[Marmel]

Loser’s Bracket - These matchups are of the losing fighters from round 1. The losers here go home with their second loss.


Tommy Morrison (0-3) vs. Sonny Liston (3-2)

Liston was determined not to be sent home after just 2 fights. He came out and landed an uppercut that sent Morrison reeling. His second punch was just a straight right that sent Morrison into next week. Morrison could not answer the 10 count and this fight is over before Liston’s corner even got the stool out of the corner!

The winner by KO at the 0:49 mark in Round 1 is Sonny Liston.









Vitali Kitsch (1-2) vs. Hasim Rahman (0-2)

The first round was pretty even, but coming out in the second round, Rahman landed a right cross that spun Vitali right around! Vitali never recovered fromt hat blow and was just running for his life in the second round. Rahman finally caught him in the corner and was just landing combinations at will before the ref had to stop this.

The winner by TKO at the 2:19 mark of Round 2 is Hasim Rahman.









Tim Witherspoon (0-2) vs. Corrie Sanders (1-3)

Corrie Sanders wasted no time in getting to Witherspoon today. He pummeled him in round 1 and sent him to the canvas in round 2. He sominated round 3-6 and then put him on the canvas in round 7. Witherspoon got back up, but only to get clobbered some more. The ref finally had to let Witherspoon off the hook before he got knocked out.

The winner by TKO at the 2:05 mark of Round 7 is Corrie Sanders.










Oliver McCall (1-3) vs. Jack Dempsey (1-2)

McCall came out and got himself a solid victory in Round 1, but Dempsey is another fighter that is way too proud to go home from this tournament with a 2-0 record. He pulled out all the stops in the second round, sending McCall to his back 3 times in the one round.

The winner of this fight, by TKO at the 2:32 mark of Round 2 is Jack Dempsey.

[Marmel]

The next 2 fights will pit the 2-0 fighters against each other. Each of these fighters have won both of their matches in this tournament.




Larry Holmes (7-1) vs. Rocky Marciano (4-2)

Holmes look pretty good in the first three rounds, winning at least two of them and maybe three, but Rocky put him to the canvas in the 4th round and Holmes was never able to really recover.

He lost that round and probably the next 4 as Rocky just continued to take it to the WBO Champ. Holmes showed some signs of life in round 9, cutting Rocky’s lip open with a hard right. But Rocky responded by dropping Holmes in the 10, and then dropping him three times in the 11th to win via the 3 knockdown rule.

The winner by TKO at the 2:13 mark of Round 11 is Rocky Marciano.









Gene Tunney (4-1) vs. George Foreman (3-1)

The fighters batlted evenly in the first 2 rounds, but Tunney went down in the third and he was not the same fighter after that. While neither fighter hit the canvas the rest of the way, Tunney was badly weakened by the knockdown and lost almost every round after that.

Jose Rivera scored the fight 117-110.
Rudolpho Maldonado scored it 118-110.
Fritz werner scored It 118-109.

The winner by unanimous decision is George Foreman!

[Marmel]

2nd Elimination Round - All of these fighters are 1-1 in the tournament, and a loss here sends them home.



Sonny Liston (4-2) vs. Lennox Lewis (2-3)

Sonny just dominated this fight. He won rounds 1-5 on all three judges cards, and had a 10-8 round when he knocked Lewis down in the 5th. However, it took only 1 lucky punch from Lewis to end this fight in the 6th. He landed a viscious combination and then followed with a straight right that sent Liston down. Liston’s heart got him to his feet, but his legs said no and he crumpled to the canvas for a 10 count!

The winner by KO at the 145 mark of Round 6 is Lennox Lewis.

Liston was leading 50-44 on all three judges cards at that point. Liston goes home extremely disappointed in his performance.









Hasim Rahman (1-2) vs. Evander Holyfield (3-1)

Rahman looked to be in control of this fight, even knocking Holyfield down for a brief moment in the 3rd round. But Holyfield regroups after that and landed the knockout punch in round 5. At the tim eof the knockout, Rahman was leading on the cards by a point or two from each judge.

The winner by KO at the 2:12 mark of Round 5i s Evander Holyfield.









Corrie Sanders (2-3) vs. Mike Tyson (4-4)

Tyson landed an early punch that cut Sanders’ eye and it started to swell up pretty fast. But Sanders really dominated Tyson in this fight. Tyson again looked out of sorts and hit the canvas in both rounds 3 and 4. However, that one punch that cut Sanders eye open came back to haunt him and the ref had to stop the fight, despite the fact that Sanders was controlling it mostly the whole way.

The winner by TKO at the 2:02 mark of Round 5 is Mike Tyson.










Jack Dempsey (2-2) vs. Chris Byrd (1-2)

Dempsey totally outclassed Byrd in this fight. Dropping him once in the 1st round and then again in round 2. Byrd got up both times, but it was obviously he had nothing left and the ref stopped this one before somebody got seriously injured.

The winner by TKO at the 2:58 mark of Round 2 is Jack Dempsey!

[Marmel]

Fourth Round

This round is 1 fight, and it pit’s the two fighters who have yet to lose in this tournament.


Rocky Marciano (5-2) vs. George Foreman (4-1)

This was a pretty slwo moving fight that went the distance. Foreman took a knee to get away from a onslaught of punches in the 4th round. Rocky was put down once in the 10th round. The fighters seemed to keep trading rounds in this fight, but mostly with little action. When it came down to it….

Ron Greenley scored the fight 114-110.
Ramon Espinoza scored it 114-110.
Hubert Earl scored it 114-110.

The winner by unanimous decision is George Foreman!

[Marmel]

Third Elimination Round - The losers go home


Lennox Lewis (3-3) vs. Evander Holyfield (4-1)

This was another very boring fight. It went the distance and there was little to no action through most of the fight. Evander slipped in the 10th rounds, but the ref called it a knockdown. Replays clearly showed the punch never connected. In the end it costed him the fight.

Adelaide Triplett scored the fight 114-114.
Moo-Hoon Moon scored it 116-111.
Pete Tremeterra scored it 116-111.

The winner, by majority decision, Lennox Lewis!









Mike Tyson (5-4) vs. Jack Dempsey (3-2)

Tyson is in a bad funk and cannot seem to get himself out of it. He went down early in the first weith a rib shot that didn’t even look to hard. Tyson recovered and stayed alive in the fight, trading rounds with Dempsey for most of the way. However, in the 8th, Dempsey sent Tyson to the mat again for an 8 count. When Tyson got up, Dempsey just flattened him and he stayed down for a 10 count. The judges only had Dempsey up by 2 or 3 points when the fight ended.

The winner by KO at the end of round 8 is Jack Dempsey!

[Marmel]

4th Elimination Round - Again, a loss here sends the fighter home

Lennox Lewis (4-3) vs. Larry Holmes (7-2)

Lewis started off looking like the better fighter for the first two rounds, but Holmes began to exert himself in the third after feeling Lewis out. He gained a decided advantage in the middle rounds and then ended the fight in the 7th round with a flurry of punches in the corner.

The winner by TKO at the 2:49 mark of Round 7 is Larry Holmes










Jack Dempsey (4-2) vs. Gene Tunney (4-2)

After a few rounds the crowd continuously booed the fighters for the remaining fight. They were not there to see a chess match, which is what this fight turned into. Neither fighter got marked up because neither fighter threw a whole bunch of punches. That makes for a tough fight to judge, but here were the results after 12 long and boring rounds:


Robert Paolino scores the bout 115-114 for Dempsey.
Glenn Feldman scores it 117-112 for Tunney.
Bill Graham scores it 116-113, and the winner by split decision is Gene Tunney!

[Marmel]

5th Elimination round - Again the loser goes home. The winner faces Marciano in an elimination match.




Larry Holmes (8-2) vs. Gene Tunney (5-2)

This was the closest fight we have seen to date. Both fighters gave it their all and tradeed big blows, especially down the stretch in the late rounds. Tunney hit the canvas in the 10 and Holmes went down in the 11th. The 12th was an amazing round with both fighters dead tired, standing toe to toe in the center of the ring trading huge shots. The crowd was ina frenzy during this round and gave the men a 5 minutes standing o when the final bell sounded.


Anibal Merimontes scored the fight 114-112 for Larry Holmes.
Roger Tileman scored it 114-113 for Gene Tunney.
Manfred Kuchler scored it 114-112 for your winner, by split decision, Larry Holmes!

6th Elimination Round - The loser goes home while the winner will go against George Foreman, and have to win twice against him!


Larry Holmes (9-2) vs. Rocky Marciano (5-3)

Rocky got knocked down in the 1st round and never recovered from it. He went down again in the 7th round and then the fight has to be stopped.

The winner by TKO at the 0:49 mark of Round 10 is Larry Holmes.

[Marmel]

7th Elimination Round

I thought George Foreman would be walking away with this title, but if anybody can win 2 in a row, it is Larry Holmes.


George Foreman (5-1) vs. Larry Holmes (10-2)

The fight was dead even until the 8th round when Holmes dropped Foreman to the canvas. He put him down twice more in the 10th and then down for good in the 11th round.

The winner by KO at the end of Round 11 is Larry Holmes.

[Marmel]

Final Round - The winner gets a shot at Ali for the UHC Title!

Larry Holmes (10-2) vs. George Foreman (5-1)

These two great fighters put on another tremendous show tonight. Both fighters slugged it out and the fight was in doubt until Foreman hit the canvas in round 10 and then again in round 11. The two knockdowns gave Holmes all the necessary points he needed to win this fight.

Valerie Dorset scored it 115-110.
Mateo Frattini scored it 114-110.
Franco Piami scored it 116-109.

The winner by unanimous decision is Larry Holmes!

Holmes will get a shot at Ali’s heavyweight title on the next card!

[Marmel]

Opening Bout:

Jack Johnson vs. Jersey Joe Wolcott

It is the first professional fight for these two men. Johnson is a 3-2 favorite on the books. Both fighters come to the ring in perfect fight shape.

Round 1 was a clear victory for Wolcott, but Johnson started to find the openings in the next couple of rounds and is starting to take control of this fight after 3 rounds.

Wolcott comes back in round 4 to land some good shots and he is getting the jab working as well. In Round 5, Johnson opens up a pretty large gash over Wolcott’s left eye. The cut is still bleeding in round 6, but it doesn’t seem to be bothering him much as he takes that round. After 6 rounds, this fight is dead even.

Over the next three rounds, the fighters are still trading rounds back and forth and there is still no clear cut leader in this fight.

In rounds 10 and 11, Johnson looked like the aggressor, but Wolcott still landed some shots. Both rounds could have gone either way. Unless somebody steps up with a big round 12, this decision is a total mystery.

Both fighters must have felt that they won this fight because there was little action in round 12. We go to the cards.


Isidro Rodriguez scores the bout 115-113 for Jersey Joe Wolcott.
Robert Grasso scores the bout 114-114.
Arthur Mercante scores the bout 114-114.

The fight is declared a majority draw!

[Marmel]

Preliminary Bout #1

David Tua vs. Hasim Rahman

The books have this fight listed as even odds. Both fighters are in great shape.

The first two rounds see a ton of punches thrown and landed for heavy damage by both fighters. Neither fighter really has an advantage though. The action slows a bit in round 3, but early in round 4, Tua lands a cross to the head of Rahman that staggers him and then drops him to the canvas for a 5 count. Tua comes after Rahman, trying to finish him off and sends him sprawling to the mat again with another cross. Rahman is down for a 6 count. As soon as he gets up, Tua attacks, and quickly knocks him back down. That ends this fight.

The winner by TKO at the 2:06 mark of Round 4 is David Tua.

[Marmel]

Preliminary Bout #2

Riddick Bowe vs. Buster Douglas

Bowe is a 2-1 favorite in this fight. Both fighters come to the ring looking very sharp.


A flurry of action from Douglas in the first round has Bowe covering up and trying to survive early on. In Round 2, Douglas looks like he spent his entire load in the first round and is backing up from Bowe’s big punches the entire round. Just seconds into round 3, Bowe rains down a combination of blows to the head and body of Douglas that sends him down to taste the canvas. Douglas tries to get up, but he cannot beat the 10 count.


The winner by KO at the 0:28 mark of Round 3 is Riddick Bowe.

[Marmel]

Support Bout

Andrew Golota vs. Jack Dempsey

Dempsey is a 2-1 favorite in this fight. Both fighters are in great condition.


Some nice action in the first round sees Dempsey take a slight advantage in points and a rather large advantage in damage done. In round 2, Dempsey hits Golota clean with a shot to the ribs that doubles him over and drops him for an 8 count. Dempsey senses he can make the kill and goes after Golota hard, raining down blows. When the ref sees that Golota is not firing back and his guard is dropping, he steps in and ends this one quickly.


The winner by TKO at the 2:33 mark of Round 2 is Jack Dempsey!

[Marmel]

Co-Feature

Evander Holyfield vs. Gene Tunney

The odds are even on this fight. Both fighters are in perfect shape for this fight.


Through the first three rounds both fighters have landed some nice punches and so far we have a very competitive, clean fight. Nobody has taken an advantage yet.

Nothing in decided over the next couple of rounds, but in round 5, the fighters butt heads and it looks like Tunney may have had his nose broken by the butt. He is bleeding quite heavily from the nose.

Tunney’s corner does a great job of stopping the bleeding and he comes out with a very solid round 6. This fight is still dead even.

Tunney has a solid 7th round and then has a spectacular 8th round, almost knocking Holyfield down twice in the round! But Holyfield is tough and has remained standing in this fight. He may have given the advantage to Tunney on the cards as of right now, but there is still plenty of fight left in him. Holyfield does have some swelling under his right eye.

Holyfield comes back strong in the next two rounds and may have taken both of them. This fight is dead even still.

The 11th round is dead even. The swelling on Holyfield’s eye is getting worse, but I don’t think it will affect the outcome of this fight with only 1 round to go.

Tunney has been letting Holyfield be the aggrssor lately, but he comes out like a champ in the 12th and final round and knocks holyfield to the canvas! Holyfield is right back up at the count of 4 and the round continues. Tunney can smell victory and knocks Holyfield down again. He barely responds but gets up at the count of 9! With less than a minute to go in the fight, the ref stops it! Holyfield is going out of his mind and his corner is holding him back from attacking the referee! A melee is going on in the ring as security rushes in to try and break things up.

The winner by TKO at the 2:10 mark of Round 12 is Gene Tunney.

[Marmel]

Welcome to the Main Event.

Twelve rounds of boxing from Madison Square Garden for the undisputed UHC Heavyweight Championship of the world!

In the red corner, hailing from





Ali looks a bit soft for this fight. I hope he is not underestimating Holmes. Holmes meanwhile looks to be in perfect shape and has left no loose ends for his title shot.

The fighters are feeling each other out early in round 1, but then Ali makes an early move and lands some solid rights to Holmes’ jaw.

Both fighters score some points with some excellent counter punching in round 2.

Ali is the aggressor in round 3, landing some huge right hands that make Holmes stumble backwards. After landing 3 or 4 of these, Ali moves in for the kill, but he is met with some big rights from Holmes that sends Ali reeling!

Round 4 was a solid round for Ali. He landed a bunch of jabs and a couple of rights, while Holmes was having trouble breaking Ali’s defense.

Ali continues to rack up points in Round 5 with some solid combinations on Holmes. It seems Ali is changing up his attack every round and is confusing Holmes, he never knows what to expect right now.

Ali starts off round 6 in style, landing blow after blow, but much like in round 3, Holmes finds his fight in the second half of the round and comes back strong, staggering Ali a few times.

Ali comes back with an impressive round 7, almost putting Holmes to the mat twice in that round. Holmes is definitely starting to fall behind in this fight and needs to rally soon. He has a bit of swelling starting to show under his left eye.

Holmes starts his rally in the 8th round, landing numerous big shots. This is the first round in a while that Holmes dominated and easily took on the cards.

Ali fights back in the 9th, but Holmes doesn’t back down and the fighters both looked pretty even in that round.

Holmes continues to dig deep down and come up with big punches when in a tight spot, but in this round, Ali had a late flurry of clean shots that may have won this round for him. At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ali with a large lead, but on the other hand, the judges could have given some of the close rounds to Holmes instead.

Round 11 got really intense as the two fighters stood at center ring and traded shots. This time Holmes had the late flurry that may have gotten him the round.

Holmes tried to finish up this fight strong and make a last impression upon the judges. Ali seemed content to dance around and take his chances on the cards. Either way, this has been a tremendous title fight with these two heavyweights slugging it for the title.


Hector Hernandez scores the bout 115-114.
Jean Giacomontonio scores it 117-111.
Juan Moralez scores it 117-111.

The winner, and STILL, undisputed UHC Heavyweight Champion of the World, Muhammad Ali!

Opening Bout

David ‘The assassin’ Gonzalez vs. Vitali Klitschko

The books have newcomer David Gonzalez as a 3-2 favorite in this fight. Both fighters enter the ring looking in perfect shape for this fight.


Gonzalez loked nervoud in his first round as a professional fighter. He landed a few shots, but Vitali tried to intimidate the youngster with some flash. He also did a little holding and hitting, for which he got a warning for. But he was able to shake the confidence of the young Gonzalez and if this round lasted another 30 seconds, he might have tasted his first canvas.

In between rounds, his corner calmed Gonzalez down a bit and went over everything they talked about pre-fight. In this round he looked a bit better and maybe even took the round from the veteran.

Gonzalez is looking more confident with each round. In the third, he landed some nice shots that had Vitali clinching a lot to catch his breathe.

Gonzalez tried to push the action even more in round 4, but he was missing his shots and getting clobbered with counter punches from Vitali.

Gonzalez didn’t look too sharp in round 5, and Vitali took advantage, landing punch after punch after punch. Eventually, Gonzalez just put his guard up and forget to try and fight back. Seeing this, the ref had no other option but to stop this fight.

The winner, by TKO at the 2:51 mark of Round 5 is Vitali Klitscko!

[Marmel]

Preliminary Fight #1

Jace Hunter vs. Tommy Morrison

Hunter is a 2-1 favorite in his first ever professional fight. Both fighters trained hard and look ready to rumble.


Hunter almost looks like a seasoned pro in his first preofessional fight. He easily takes the round from veteran Tommy Morrison.

In round 2, Morrison really frustrated Hunter with a lot of holding and clinching. Hunter just didn’t know what to do with him and had to absorb a few big punches trying to ward off the attacking Morrison.

Hunter comes back with a very solid round three, landing a few combinations and some jabs to score a lot of points. I would give Hunter 2 of the first 3 rounds.

Round 4 was a close round, with Hunter falling in love with the combinations and even landing a 4 punch combo. Morrison continues to try and plow his way in and dig from the inside into Hunter’s body.

Round 5 is also a very even round. Hunter is able to land some nice shots, but he is not doing much to block Morrison’s attacks.

In round 6, Hunter takes a wicked hook to the temple and goes down like a sack of potatoes. He is only down for a 4 count, but this is going to hurt his chances. Hunter avoids Morrison for the rest of the round and heads to his corner to regroup. Halfway through this scheduled 12 rounder, I would say that knockdown has given Morrison a slight advantage.

Hunter comes out swinging in round 7 and almost immediately lands a crippling blow to the ribs of Morrison that sends him down for a 6 count! Morrison does a good job avoiding Hunter for the rest of the round.

Hunter takes a shot early in the 8th round and gets cut under his right eye. The two fighters slug it out in a great boxing display in this round. Morrison might have gotten the advantage in this round with some heavy rights and opening up the cut.

The blood is still flwing in round 9, but it seems to have gotten Hunter’s juices flowing as he pummeled Morrison for 3 straight minutes. I have no idea how Morrison did not go down in this round, but it was an easy round for Hunter.

In round 10, Hunter throws a right cross and levels Morrison. It takes him an 8 count to recover and get back up to try and finish the round. As soon as he gets up, Hunter sends him back down again. This time for a 6 count. Hunter knows this fight is there for the taking and goes after Morrison. It only took a few more seconds to level him again, for the third knockdown of the fight.


The winner by TKO at the 2:00 mark of Round 10 is Jace Hunter!

[Marmel]

Preliminary Bout #2:

Kyle “Dutch Mafia” Kappe vs. Lou Savarese

Kappe is a 4-1 favorite in this fight. Both fighters look in excellent condition and are ready to get it on.


Kappe looks like the real deal in the first round as he was able to land clean shots at will on Savarese. Meanwhile, Lou was barely able to get his leather on anything but the arms of Kappe.

Kappe is not being overly aggressive in round 2, but taking whatever Savarese is giving him, and that is actually a lot. Kappe landed some nice punches including one that cut Lou open over his left eye. The blood poured down into his eye and he was constantly swiping at it.

Kappe sees the blood trickling from Lou’s forehead in the 3rd round and targets it directly, landing several big hits and tearing it open even more. The ref keeps a careful eye on Savarese. After more damaging hits, the ref has seen enough and jumps in between the two fights.

The winner, by TKO at the 2:46 mark of Round 3 is Kyle “Dutch Mafia” Kappe!

[Marmel]

Support Bout

Riddick Bowe vs. Evander Holyfield

The books have this fight at even odds.

Both fighters are in great shape for this one.


Bowe comes out like a man possessed and starts hammering away at Holyfield. There is nothing Evander can do put put up his guard, but one big right gets through and sends Holyfield sprawling to the mat as the round ends. Has anyone done that to Evander before??

Holyfield shakes off the knockdown and catches Bowe as he comes after him looking for another knock down. He stuns Bowe and continues to work him over for the rest of the round.

The two fighters battle it out pretty evenly through round 3, but in round four, Holyfield throws a viscious uppercut into Bowe’s chin while he has him pinned in the corner. Bowe never saw it coming and crumpled to the ground. Bowe tries to get up using the ropes as an aide, but he is stumbling everywhere and at the count of 8 collapses to the canvas!


The winner by KO at the 2:29 mark of Round 4 is Evander Holyfield!

Mike Tyson vs. Lennoz Lewis

This books have this fight as even. Both fighters have been showing a great amount of inconsistency as of late, although their competition has been pretty stiff. Rumor has it that Tyson under trained for this fight. But we also know that Lewis has taken a lot of time off as well.

Round 1 is about what you would expect from these two guys. Tyson gets a warning for holding and hitting, so Lewis counters with a low blow that he gets warned for. Later in the first, Lewis lands a huge shot to Tyson’s face and his nose starts leaking blood.

Over the next two rounds it is obvious these two guys just want to knock each other out. They do not like each other and it shows in the ring. The fight is pretty even so far, but both guys are taking a ton of damage and neither is going to last 12 rounds.

In round 4, Tyson’s nose is still bleeding and Lewis leads with his head and smashes into Tyson’s face. The ref halts the fight and takes a point away from Lewis for the head butt.

Tyson’s nose has finally stopped bleeding in the 5th, but Lewis goes after it trying to start the flow of blood up again. This round was all Lewis and after5 rounds, this fight is about dead even.

Tyson lands some big shots on Lewis in round 6, and Lewis again resorts to a head butt. Tyson screams at the ref to DQ Lewis, but he only takes another point away and lets the fight go on.

Round 7 is decidedly in favor of Lewis and that really pissed Tyson off because he comes out and smokes Lewis with a barrage of punches that sends Lewis to the canvas! He answers the ten count and the fight resumes. Tyson comes after him hard. It looks like he literally want to kill him in the ring. Tyson unleashes another flurry of punches and Lewis goes down again, this time for an 8 count. Tyson continues the onslaught and the ref has no choice but to stop this amazing fight!


The winner by TKO at the 2:16 mark of Round 8 is Iron Mike Tyson!

The Main Event

George Foreman vs. Gene Tunney for the vacant IBF Heavyweight Title.

The odds are even on this fight. Both fighters are in excellent shape for this title fight.


Tunney is getting the better of Big George through three rounds. I would score it 2 rounds to 1. George looks tired already for some reason. He is taking some big shots, but he should be able to absorb some of that punishment.

Round 4 again goes to Tunney, and in round 5, sensing victory is near, Tunney aims for the head and connects twice. Once opening up a cut over his right eye, and the other one opening a cut under the same eye. Big George looks like a big mess and is in deep trouble here.

Rounds 6, 7 and 8 are all a repeat of one another with Tunney just destroying George as the fans look on in amazement that George has not his the canvas yet. There is no way he should still be on his feet.

Finally in round 10, after 2 more rounds of punishment, Big George goes down. If he is smart, he will just stay there, but the man has a bigger heart than a brain and he gets up at the count of 9. Foreman takes more abuse in the round, but gets out of it alive.

Foreman goes to his knee after a particularly hard right in the 11th round, but pops back up. You can shoot this guy with a gun and he will keep coming after you. Tunney gets a hearty boo from the crowd as he uses an open glove on George and gets a point taken away. I think Tunney is just frustrated that he cannot put George away.

We head into round 12, and George looks batter, bruised and totally spent, but he gives the fans what they paid for…an amazing round 12 from Foreman. He gave everything he had and even had Tunney back peddaling in this round. He probably won his only round of the fight in the 12th. When the final bell sounds the fans are applauding very loudly, but when Big George acknowledges them the fans give him a standing ovation for the guts and effort he put forth tonight. They don’t stop until the announcer read the scores….

Jae-Bong Kim scores the fight 117-108.
Kamal Hasan scores it 116-109.
William Hutt scores it 117-107.

The winner by unanimous decision and NEW IBF Heavyweight Champion, Gene Tunney!

Opening Bout

Mike Tokunaga vs. Jameel McCline

Tokunaga is a 2-1 favorite in his first professional fight. Both fighters come to the ring and appear to be in great shape.

Tokunaga seemed tentative to begin this fight and absorbed some shots from McCline because of it. Bost as round 1 wore on he started to pick his spots and deliver some hurting of his own.

In round 2, Tokunaga goes in head first and is issued a warning for head butting. Other than that, it was a solid round for Mike.

Round 3 was the first round that Tokunaga showed no fear in the ring and it paid off big. He started jabbing McCline and that opened him up for some big body blows later in the round . At this point, I would be surprised if Tokunaga has not taken all three rounds on the cards.

Round 4 is another solid round for Tokunaga. The only time he is getting tagged is when he fires a punch and misses. McCline is sending back some nice counters on those exchanges.

In round 5, Tokunaga continues to land big punches, but McCline sneak a swift jab right in there and cuts Tokunaga open under his left eye. Immediately following that, Tokunaga leads in with his head again and the ref halts things and takes a point away from Mike. With the point deduction that was probably an even round. McCline has some swelling on his left eye. Mike’s corner was able to close up that cut very fast in between rounds.

In round 6, Tokunaga gets another point deducted for backhanding, which makes this another even round since Tokunaga is pretty much in a different class than McCline today.

Very early in round 7, Tokunaga sends McCline to the canvas for an 8 count. Mike just didn’t seem to want to end this one though and very few punches were thrown after the knockdown. Mike is clearly way ahead in this fight though, and McCline’s eye is getting much worse as this fight wears on.

In round 8, Tokunaga comes out looking to end this thing and late in the round he sends McCline down with a big sweeping right. McCline answers to a 7 count, but Mike sends him right back down to stay.


The winner, by KO at the end of round 8 is Mike “Blade” Tokunaga!

[Marmel]

Preliminary Bout #1

David Gonzalez vs. Lou Savarese

David is a 3-1 favorite and really should rebound from the loss he took in his first fight and dominate this one. Both fighters enter the ring in tip top shape.

Round 1 looks like a mismatch as Gonzalez is basically able to call his shots and land them with amazing accuracy. Savarese was only able to sneak a few weak shots in.

Round 2 is a repeat of round 1, and with just a few seconds left in the round, Gonzalez sends Savarese down to a knee. It was just a hard stinging right to the nose that buckled his knees.

In round 3, Gonzalez landed a shot so hard this Savarese’s mouth piece came flying out. It is not a question of if Gonzalez will win this fight, but when?

Round 4 is more of the same and early in round 5, Gonzalez lands another shot that sends Savarese down to a knee for a quick 3 count. David just cannot finish Savarese off in this round though.

In round 6, Gonzalez got a little cocky and lazy and Savarese landed some nice shots. They didn’t really have much sting on them, but they might have won Savarese his first round of the fight.

Savarese goes down again in round 7, but gets up at the count of 5. You have to wonder how, and why, he keeps getting up. He sends Savarese down a second tim ein the round, but once again Lou gets to his feet. Finally, David gets the third knockdown and the fight is stopped.

The winner, by TKO at the 2:17 mark of Round 7 is David Gonzalez!

[Marmel]

Preliminary Fight #2

Jace Hunter vs. Vitali Klitschko

Jace is a 3-2 favorite in this fight. Both fighters are in great shape today.

Vitali comes out looking strong in this first round, landing some big shots and stunning Hunter.

Hunter looks much better in round 2, landing big shot after big shot, but when once of them missed, Klitschko countered with a massive right that dropped Hunter like he had been shot! Hunter barely gets up at the count of 9. In round 3, Vitali could sense that Hunter is out on his feet and moves in for the kill. It looked like the ref was going to stop the fight when Hunter just crumbled to the canvas. He doesn’t move and the count reaches 10. Vitali is eating up our FOFC fighters.


The winner by KO at the 2:23 mark of Round 3 is Vitali Klitschko.

[Marmel]

Support Bout

Kyle Kappe vs. Oliver McCall

Kappe is a 2-1 favorite in this fight. McCall is still living off of his one big victory. Both fighters are in great fight shape today.

Kappe charges McCall as soon as the bell rings and leads right in with his head, butting McCall and instantly getting a point taken away. Other than that stupid move, Kappe dominates round 1.

McCall must be shaken up because he is just running away from Kappe this entire round. Kappe did manage to land a few shots though and take the round.

In round 3, Kyle lands a hard right into the ribcage of McCall and sends him down for an 8 count. Lappe moves in for the kill and is just pummeling McCall. He gets him in a corner and just starts unloading until the ref has to pull Kappe away and stop this fight!

The winner by TKO at the 2:32 mark of Round 3 is Kyle “Dutch Mafia” Kappe!

Co-Feature

Rocky Marciano vs. David Tua

Rocky is a 2-1 favorite. Both fighters are in great shape.


Rocky came out and dominated the first two rounds of the fight. It looked like Tua did not even prepare for what Rocky brings to the ring. In round 3, Tua semmed to settle down and take what Rocky was giving him. Tua landed some nice punches that sent Rocky on his heels a bit.

Tua keeps it going in round 4 to take that round, but Rocky storms back in round 5 sending Tua reeling and reaching for the ropes to keep himself up. Rocky’s momentum is broken when the ref takes a point away for a rabbit punch. It looked as if Rocky might have been ready to end the fight at that point too.

Tua comes back strong in round 6 and Rocky has a second point taken away for a rabbit punch. This could very well be scored as a 10-8 round for Tua, which might give him the lead halfway through this fight, even though Rocky looks to be in control for most of the time.

Rocky knows he needs to stop being foolish and kicks it into high gear in round 7, knocking Tua down towards the end of the round for a 5 count. That punch causes a huge swelling around Tua’s left eye and his corner is working frantically on it.

In round 8, Rocky thorws a backhanded punch and the ref takes a third point away from him! You have to wonder what in the world Rocky is doing out there when he is controlling this fight, yet in a dead heat on the cards.

Rocky comes back strong in the 9th round, and once again Tua is running for his life. His eye looks just downright ugly and I don’t think the ref will let this go much longer.

Rocky has another solid outting in the 10th, but Tua landed a solid jab that tore the skin open under Rocky’s right eye and he is bleeding pretty bad. Tua’s eye looks like it is ready to explode. His corner is pretty concerned and the ref is taking a hard look at it.

As expected the first big punch landed on Tua’s face has the ref stop this fight before he gets seriously injured.

The winner by TKO at the 0:44 mark of Round 11 is Rocky Marciano!

Main Event

Muhammad Ali vs. Wladimir Klitchscko for the UHC Heavyweight Title.


Ali is a 2-1 favorite in this fight. Both fighters are in great shape.


You would think Vlad would come into this title shot fight with a perfect game plan, but he lets Ali run circles around him, landing lefts and rights at will. It only took 2 minutes for Ali to send Vlad to the canvas for a 6 count.

Ali just picks apart Vlad over the next two rounds, easily winning them and sustaining no damage at all on his end. Vlad looks exhausted already.

Over the next three rounds, Vlad shows a bit of life, and maybe even won round 4, but Ali is in total command of this fight. It looked like Vlad was out on his feet in round 6, but Ali could not land that big right that would have ended the fight.

In rounds 7 and 8 the action slows way down. Ali just seems to be biding his time and waiting for the right moment. Meanwhile. Vlad is picking up points with a soft jab.

In round 9, Ali goes for the kill and lands a bunch of punches, the last which spins Vlad around and sends him down to the canvas for a 10 count.



The winner by KO and Still UHC Heavyweight champion of the World, Muhammad Ali!

Final Round

Kyle Kappe vs. Joe Frazier

Both fighters are in perfect shape for this bout.


Kappe comes out in round 1 looking to avenge his first loss of the season and has Frazier stunned almost immediately. He tries to go for the early kill and it looked like Frazier was going to drop already, but somehow he held on despite the barrage by Kappe! Frazier already has a swelling under his right eye!

Frazier comes back just as strong in round 2, and dishes out a huge amount of punishment. Neither of these fighters are backing down, and both of them want to other’s head. The swelling increases on Frazier’s eye and it could do him in eventually.

Frazier knows he won’t last 12 rounds with that eye, so he us head hunting in round 3. Both fighters land big blows and it was a very even round.

Round 4 is a big one for Kappe, but he had some of the steam knocked out of him when Frazier resorted to a low blow to slow the onslaught.

Kappe scores another big round in the 5th, and he landed some devastating jabs to that swollen eye, making it really really ugly. The ref cannot let this go on much longer.

And just as expected, the ref stops the fight as soon as round 6 begins!


The winner by TKO at the 0:04 mark of Round 6 is Kyle “Dutch Mafia” Kappe!

Opening Bout

David Yellope vs. Hasim Rahman

David is a 2-1 favorite in his first professional fight. Both fighters have trained hard and look to be in great shape.

David looks completely comfortable out there in his first round of action, and was running his gameplan to perfection.

Round 2 was also dominated by Yellope. He is just in a whole other class than Rahman at this point.

Round 3 was a nearly perfect round for Yellope. He landed upstairs and downstairs. He landed with jabs and hard rights. He leads this fight 3 rounds to zero.

Yellope finally knocks Rahman down in the 4th round. Rahman gets back up and David goes for the kill. He rains down power punches and Rahman is doing nothing to fight back so the ref jumps in and stops the fight. Yellope looked very impressive in his professional debut!

The winner by TKO at the 2:43 mark of Round 4 is The American Bear, David Yellope!

[Marmel]

Preliminary Bout #1

Mike Tokunaga vs. Jersey Joe Wolcott.

Tokunaga is a 3-2 favorite in this fight. He looks to be in great shape, but Wolcott looks just a bit soft and maybe under trained.


Jersey Joe does not look like he under trained in the first round though. He just had his way with Tokunaga, landing punches at will.

In round 2, Tokunaga lands a wicked 3 punch combination that forces Wolcott to go down on a knee for 3 seconds to catch a breather. Mike went right after Jersey Joe when he got back up and several times it looked the ref was going to jump in there, but somehow, Wolcott threw a few punches and came out of that round, alive, but barely.

Wolcott came back with a very solid third round. His punches are not quite as strong as they were due to the beating he took in round 2, but he landed a bunch of them and took the round.

Wolcott continued to have success in round 4, landing many more punches. Tokunaga is headhunting though and with just a few seconds left in the round, he landed a big shot to the top of the head and Wolcott’s knees buckled and one touched the mat. It was called a knockdown and he is very frustrated because he was just 5 seconds from taking that round.

Wolcott regroups and has yet another fine round in the 5th, easily winning it on points. If it wasn’t for the two knockdowns, he would be ahead by a decent margin. Instead this fight is dead even.

Round 6 is another big one for Wolcott and he is able to knock Tokunaga down in the round for an 8 count. It seems Wolcott is wearing Tokunaga down, while Tokunaga is just throwing knockout punches.

Wolcott is starting to take over this fight now. In the 7th, he scored another victory over Tokunaga. Mike goes down again in the 8th round, but only for a 4 count. When he gets back up, Wolcott moves in and tries to send him down again. While he landed the shots to do it, Tokunaga stayed on his feet. He has a nasty swelling on his right eye now.

Tokunaga must have found his second wind in round 9, because he looked like a fresh fighter in that round. Wolcott had a surprised look on his face and took a beating in that round.

Wolcott regroups for round 10, and is able to land a haymaker that splits Tokunaga’s eye open. With the blood flowing freely, the ref stops this one.


The winner by TKO at the 2:06 mark of Round 10 is Jersey Joe Wolcott!

[Marmel]

Preliminary Bout #2

Timmy Kings vs. Jameel McCline

Kings is a 2-1 favorite in this fight. Both fighters are in perfect shape for this one.


Kings looked pretty solid in his first professional round. He traded punches with McCline and probably came out a bit ahead. Basically, the fighters were just feeling each other out though.

Round 2 is another slow one, but Kings left himself open a few times and the veteran, McCline took those opportunity to score some points.

The action started to heat up in round 3. Kings started finding hit spots and he landed some heavy artillery on McCline. McCline was countering on the misses, but this round goes to Kings.

Kings started out the 4th round looking great, but then let down his guard and McCline took the opportunity to steal the round from him in the last minute. After 4, this fight is dead even.

Kings took the fight to McCline in the 5th and the two fighters continue swapping rounds.

Kings is feeling confident now and is starting to take over the fight. Midway through the 6th round he lands a shot that cuts McCline open over his right eye. Towards the end of the round he put McCline down on his back for a 6 count.

Round 7 was another perfect round for King. He opened up another cut on McCline, this time under his left eye. McCline looks like a real mess and he is not going to last much longer.

Kings continues to rack up the points in the 8th round, but McCline lands a desperation shot that cut open Kings left eye.

McCline has to take a knee near the end of round 9. Kings just cannot put the finishing touch on him, but McCline would need a knockout to win this one.

We are at round 10, and the action slowed way down in this round. Kings has done enough to win this one and is not pressing anymore. McCline just doesn’t have anything left to give.

McCline is way behind again in round 11. He might need to knockout Kings twice n the 12th to win this one.

Kings didn’t want to wait the final 3 minutes for this fight to end, so he decks McCline early in the 12 and McCline stays down.


The winner by KO at the 1:00 mark of Round 12 is Timmy Kings!

Support Bout

Joe Louis vs. Vitali Klitschko

Louis is a 2-1 favorite in this fight, but he has a slight paunch. This could be a sign of under training. Vitali looks to be in great shape.


Louis came into this fight like a man on the mission. He dominated Vitali in round 1, and then in round 2 it really began. He knocked him down early in the round, and then when he got up, Louis cut him over his left eye and then knocked him down a second time. Vitali’s left eye is bleeding and swollen up and I don’t know if he will make it out of the third.

Round 3 is all Joe Louis, but in round 4, Vitali seems to be making a last ditch effort to win this fight. He threw everything he had at Louis, but Joe was able to withstand it. In round 5, Joe could tell Vitali was spent and tried to knock him out. He couldn’t send him down, but he is just murdering him out there. Both of Vitali’s eyes are all swelled up and I am not even sure he can see right now.

Louis knocks down Vitali twice in the 6th round, but when Vitali gets to his feet after the second knockdown, the ref won’t let him continue.


The winner by TKO at the 2:56 mark of Round 6 is Joe Lewis!

Joe Frazier vs. Larry Holmes for Holmes’ WBO Heavyweight Title.


The fight has even odds in the books. Both fighters are in great condition and ready to get it on.


After 4 rounds, both fighters have landed their share of huge shots, and both fighters are feeling the affects of it. However, Holmes is getting the better of Frazier at this point and my guess would be he has taken 3 of the 4 rounds, although two of them were pretty close.

Over the next two rounds, Frazier starts rallying and is getting the better of Holmes. After 6 rounds this fight is about as close as it could be.

Frazier was all over Holmes in round 7, I don’t know how Holmes stayed up as long as he did, but finally with about 15 second left, after about the 10th right he took to the face, Holmes went down for the 10 count!


The winner, and NEW WBO Heavyweight champion of the World, is Joe Frazier!!!!
