By Alexey Sukachev

According to Bernd Boente, manager for K2 Promotions, one of Klitschko brothers – either Vitali (WBC heavyweight champion) or Wladimir (IBO/WBO/IBF heavyweight champion) – can possibly arrange one of their title defenses in their Homeland, specifically in Donetsk, in 2011. An offer was made by the richest person of Ukraine, mining tycoon Rinat Akhmetov, who is also the owner of local soccer club “Shakhtar Donetsk”.

In his recent interview with the Ukrainian media “Segodnia” Boente revealed some details about the possible promotion:

“Three last fights of both Wladimir and Vitaly have been held at soccer stadiums attracting zounds of boxing fans. Meanwhile, Ukraine is the host of EURO 2012 (alongside Poland), so a number of huge, modern arenas are being built there at the present time. That’s why we are planning a possible fight in Ukraine the next year. Donbass-Arena has already built and functioning and we were approached by Rinat Akhmetov to make one of Klitschko’s fights there," Boente said.

"There’s only a plan; nothing has been resolved yet. Also there are some tiny moments that should be worked out and negotiated. For example, even though Ukrainian economics is slowly building up and developing, fans aren’t yet able to buy expensive tickets so that prices will have to be set pretty low. That’s why we should have a local sponsor (aside local political powers) who can provide a financial support for this idea. Negotiations are coming up but chances exist that we can bring one of heavyweight title fights in Ukraine pretty soon."

The fight will not interfere with RTL's broadcasting rights, says Boente. “Time difference is just an hour between Ukraine and Germany so there will be a few problems arranging a live broadcast of the show. An entire production will be delivered by RTL in this case”.

By Rick Reeno

BoxingScene.com was advised that there are ongoing discussions for a potential junior welterweight fight between Zab Judah (39-6, 27KOs) and unbeaten puncher Lucas Matthysse (27-0, 25KOs). The show would be co-promoted by Golden Boy Promotions and Main Events. HBO would televise and the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey is the leading venue to host.

Robert Guerrero would appear in the co-feature, and returning junior middleweight James Kirkland would have his return fight off-television, but HBO plans to show clips.

Judah-Matthysse are developing and it's not exactly clear if a deal would cancel out Judah's scheduled fight with Michael Clark on October 2, which is scheduled for the Prudential Center.

Did anybody see this new Episode 7 of Fight Camp 360 last night?

I HAVE NO IDEA why they started it off with Allan Green, since HOPEFULLY he's going to be gone. I see he's trying to put the blame on John David Jackson and has brought in a new Trainer named Chill. I'm sure that will pay huge dividends.....on his next ESPN fight. He did appear a bit humble at one point around the 18:05 mark, and I enjoyed Carl Froch's Mom talking about Green right after that at the 20:10 mark.

Btw, it's kind of strange at the end when Kessler reads the Press Announcement of his Withdrawal, and then also Drives himself to the Press Conference. Not saying the injury isn't legit, but it seems strange that he can read and Drive.]]> http://sports.sho.com/fight-camp-360.html

Bob Arum was notified of his son’s disappearance shortly before a news conference at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles to promote the Nov. 13 fight between Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito. Bob Arum conducted the news conference Tuesday, but will skip the final legs of the promotional tour in New York and Texas.

“They’ve got search parties looking for him right now,” Arum told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday.

The public information officer for the Seattle Police Department had no record of a missing persons complaint filed about John Arum. Sgt. John Urguhart of the King County Sheriff’s office said his agency also is not doing a search, though he noted, “There are several other counties around here which could be involved.”

John Arum is an attorney with the Seattle law firm of Ziontz, Chestnut, Varnell, Berley & Slonim. He graduated from Reed College and the University of Washington Law School

WBC Statement: It gives great pleasure to the World Boxing Council to see the honest, respectful and positive attitude of the Texas Boxing Commission as they issued Mexican fighter, Antonio Margarito, a boxer´s license, and he will be able to fight Manny Pacquiao this coming November 13th, at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium, in Texas.

The World Boxing Council and the Mexican boxing commissions respect the punishment given by the California State Athletic Commission of one year of suspension for Antonio Margarito, when we think that Margarito was not guilty of the bandages placed by his trainer, action that we do consider one of the biggest violations of boxing rules, reason for which the trainer was suspended for life.
It seemed very strange to the World Boxing Council that the California State Athletic Commission refused to accept to grant Margarito his license after the hearing held with the boxer, as the reasons that were published were that they did not believe Margarito was sorry for what he had done – Sorry for something that he did not do? Also that he had trained in a gym in California without having a license. Is it not possible for anyone to freely train in any gym?

And finally, there is a letter signed by the manager who was suspended for life in which he states that Margarito never knew the bandaging system that was used.

The bout between Pacquiao and Margarito will be a fight that will stir up interest in all the world, as both of them are elite boxers.

I just posted this for anyone who wants a good laugh.

Ozzy

Pacquiao: “He knew”

“I believe he knew,” WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao said today at the kickoff presser in Los Angeles for his November 13 bout with Antonio Margarito. “He’s the one who wraps his hands.” Pacman called the “Tijuana Tornado’s” problem with illegal handwraps “a mistake.” Pacquiao said he took the fight because “I am a fighter and I am just doing my job.”

Margarito, making a triumphant return to California just two weeks after the State rejected him for a boxing license at a highly publicized hearing, made a point of thanking the State of Texas for granting him a boxing license. “Everything that happened in the past is over and now we are in the present,” he stated. “Forget about the past!”
After Tuesday’s media only stop in the Los Angeles area, the tour will be open to the public on Wednesday (9/1) in New York City and on Friday (9/3) in Dallas.

For fight fans wanting to attend:

Wednesday’s event begins at 11:30AM ET at Chelsea Piers – Pier 60 (23rd St. & The Hudson River, New York, NY 10011).

Friday’s event begins at 11:30AM CT at Cowboys Stadium – East End Zone Platform (900 East Randol Mill Rd., Arlington, TX 76011).

The attack on Bryan Hanlon, 26, came a week after his twin brother James had holes bored in his head with a power drill in another targeted underworld assault. Police are horrified by the brazen nature of both attacks and the savage violence used.

The Hanlon twins were both close pals of murdered gangland enforcer Kevin "Gerbil" Carroll.

As well as the grisly injuries to his private parts, Bryan, 26, was left with multiple fractures and severe he ad injuries. He is critically ill in hospital.

It's understood he also suffered injuries to his back passage, inflicted by a chisel.

Bryan was driving on Maryhill Road in Glasgow at 11.30pm on Sunday when he was run off the road by a silver BMW 5 Series and a dark-coloured 4x4.

His Audi S4 estate hit a wall and he was hauled out.

Up to seven thugs, armed with chisels and hammers, took part in the attack .

Police are treating it as at tempted murder. Chief Inspector Graham Clarke said: "There is no doubt that , going by the ferocity of the attack, the intent was to kill this young man.

"People who saw this may be thinking these were boy racers or it was a road rage incident.

"But this was a really violent and horrific assault, and we are real ly keen to speak to anyone who may have seen these cars on Maryhill Road.

"We don't think this was a random act. It was targeted and there was a reason for it.

"We need to piece together what happened and get these people locked up. As the days go on, we will look at if this is connected to something else."

Mr Clarke warned associates of Hanlon not to try to retaliate. He said: "We will be looking closely at the poor man who was the subject of this horrendous attack, and his associates.

"If we believe anyone may be trying to take any form of revenge, we will take robust action against them."

A man who was with Bryan in his car escaped with minor injuries.

The tactics used in the assault were strikingly similar to the ambush on Hanlon's brother .

James Hanlon, driving a silver Vauxhall Vectra, was tailed for four miles by thugs in a black Audi A4 convertible before the attackers rammed his car. The Vectra was then hit again, by thugs in a red Ford Focus who had been waiting in a lane.

Six men, armed with power drills, hammers and chisels, piled out of the two cars and chased James.

He tried to run but was pinned down at the roadside. The gang then drilled a hole in his head .

Brazenly, they attacked in daylight, at around 7.50pm.

It's believed James, who is recovering. survived because passing drivers called 999. The attackers left their cars and fled the scene in Cumbernauld Road, Stepps, near Glasgow.

Carroll, a feared enforcer for the Daniel crime clan, was gunned down in front of terrified shoppers at an Asda store in Robroyston, Glasgow, in January. The Hanlon twins attended his funeral.

That just sick. I know getting stabbed up the arse is fairly common in Glasgow, considered an insul but this is rough. Glasgow must be one of the only major ciities where the criminals still favor knives over guns. If that was here they just would have popped him in the head at traffic lights and walked off.

By George Jimenez

For those of us who have been following the Light Heavyweight division in the past years we know the division has been in a coma. Although Chad Dawson was recognized as the legitimate LHW champion, he lacked the big fights to be recognized as a big name.

The biggest names in the division were Tarver, Hopkins, and Johnson; all guys close to the end of their careers. Dawson fought and beat both Tarver and underrated journeyman Glenn Johnson, in the hopes of getting a fight with the biggest name in the division, legendary Bernard Hopkins. On the other hand, Hopkins thought Dawson didn’t bring much to the table and instead opted for more lucrative fights with the likes of Calzaghe, Pavlik, Ornelas, and Roy Jones Jr.

Since Dawson’s challenge of Hopkins went unanswered, “Bad” Chad was left with few options. Enter newly crowned Light Heavyweight champion Jean Pascal from Canada. Pascal had won the WBC strap from rugged Adrian Diaconu and defended the strap a couple of times. Chad Dawson, although an excellent boxer lacks the star power that sells out arenas and in order to make money they had to travel up north where he could make a decent payday.

Fighting in Canada meant fighting in hostile territory, but he knew that winning this fight would bring more credibility to his reign as a fighter and more money in his pocket. He also hoped that winning this fight would pressure Hopkins into making a fight with him, or lead to a fight against Super Middle Weight star Lucian Bute, should he decide to move up. With no big names in the LHW division Pascal jumped at the opportunity of fighting the best fighter in the division.

On paper this fight promised to be exciting. Pascal, a brawler by nature has a huge heart, great stamina, and a good punch. Dawson is the total opposite, a technical fighter with excellent Boxing skills and ring generalship. As it often happens in Boxing no victory is guaranteed and Dawson lost the fight against Pascal.

Bad news for Dawson but he does have a rematch clause so we will see a rematch down the road. The good news for Jean Pascal is that he holds all the cards and has the option of fighting one fight before the rematch against Dawson or taking another fight before that.

A super fight against Lucian Bute who was supposed to move up to challenge Dawson was rumored and would be a huge event in Canadian soil, but is unlikely to happen. The latest buzz is that Hopkins accepted a fight against Pascal.

But the real winners are the fans because it means more competitive fights in this division. Names like Pascal, Dawson, Cloud, and Cleverly are slowly replacing the old guard and promise to ignite this division in the years to come.]]> There is finally "Light" at the Light Heavy Weight Division

Many boxing fans have heard the harrowing tale of Kassim Ouma’s troubled history as a former child-soldier and can now view the film that chronicles his story.

The award-winning documentary feature “Kassim the Dream” makes its’ broadcast premiere on Monday night at 8 PM on the Sundance Channel.

A former world junior-middleweight boxing champion, 31-year-old Kassim "The Dream" Ouma outwardly exudes good cheer and charm in filmmaker Kief Davidson's documentary profile.

However, Kassim's dark past is unlike that of any other boxing star.

At age six, Ouma was kidnapped by Ugandan rebel soldiers and forced into duty as a child soldier during a bloody civil war.

Now, after a decade in exile in America, Kassim undertakes a painful six-day journey home to Uganda, where he admits that as a child he committed both torture and murder.

Academy Award winning actor Forest Whitaker was the Executive Producer for the Ouma film, which picked up a number of major international awards.

It was one of five nominations for the Best Documentary Feature Award by the International Documentary Association in 2008.

Many boxing fans have heard the harrowing tale of Kassim Ouma’s troubled history as a former child-soldier and can now view the film that chronicles his story.

The award-winning documentary feature “Kassim the Dream” makes its’ broadcast premiere on Monday night at 8 PM on the Sundance Channel.

A former world junior-middleweight boxing champion, 31-year-old Kassim "The Dream" Ouma outwardly exudes good cheer and charm in filmmaker Kief Davidson's documentary profile.

However, Kassim's dark past is unlike that of any other boxing star.

At age six, Ouma was kidnapped by Ugandan rebel soldiers and forced into duty as a child soldier during a bloody civil war.

Now, after a decade in exile in America, Kassim undertakes a painful six-day journey home to Uganda, where he admits that as a child he committed both torture and murder.

This came after I got news yesterday from our state Electric Company (WE Energies or Wisconsin Electric) had been reallr really holding me down, since my bad credit issues last year, put me back on my utility bill, by a grand plus.

Everytime they offer to put me on a payment plan, it was always 100$ or so more than what I could afford, so my payments were just keeping me from being disconnected or 30 days, until the next bill.
Well I went to the Milwaukee Public Commission who wil try to mediate customers with Wisconsin Utilities, and something told me..wait. I didnt do it last month or the month before..but could have.
I did it last week after I paid off $400 out of $800 remaining..they still wanted to disconnect me for the final $400 and the nex bill of 70 plus.
The Commision long story short, contacted WE who then flipped the script.
After months of telling me..its the computer system. The Computer decided that I needed to pay $400 or $500 hundred just to get a payment plan that would be about $200 for any month.
So if your winter bill is say oh, $275 per month,,,with the payment plan you just pay $200. Down side to why I never wanted that payment plan is in the summer months if the bill per month is $60...you still gotta pay the $200.

Well I'll end it like this,,,because I had paid virtually 80% of my total bill, the (computer system) tabulated that I qualify for a payment plan of...
$28 per month.
I asked are you shitting me...I mean for real? Confused

Suppose April comes around and the Wisconsin moratorium is over, where you can't disconnect during winter months..and I fall behind back up to 1200$?? when you can discconnect late paying customers?
She replied...So as long as you pay $28 for the next 23 months. Now we don't SUGGEST that. If a bill runs $128, pay as much to keep it low, but otherwise sir...for the next 23 MONTHS YOU WILL HAVE CONTINOUS ELECTRICITY SO AS LONG AS YOU MEET YOUR OBLIGATION TO THE WE PAYMENT PLAN OF $28 MINIMUM PER MONTH.

So at least I know that whatever winds blow deceit and trouble, I know I got heat in the winter, AC in the summer for the next 2 years...for a minimum of $28 Tongue

And Tracy drives a school bus, same age as me. And we both drank the same thing. Nursed on one beer all night and found a place with live entertainment with no drama.
And...
And the radio Disc Jockey who is attempting to get me on his show in the next few weeks, just had an international slot himself Thursday on the Warren Ballentine Show Truthfighters.com This should give me quite a few more listeners when I am invited. SO far the DJ of the talk show called The Evening RUsh with Earl Ingram and I have talked via phone, which was the result of me getting a facebook account.
That day, ( I got Dave as a facebook friend..and Earl Ingram) who contacted me last week, and in return I called him this week to get his impressions on my novel.

Earl Ingram's words: I WANT you as an in studio guest as soon as I finish reading your book Christian 2nd Conservative 1st. Heckuva title bro
Cool
