Mullins steps up to the plate for Harrison

Dusty Harrison has his opponent for the March 10, 2012 Main Event Fight at the Washington Convention Center. Booker T. Mullins will be the man that Harrison will meet in the center of the ring. Keystone Boxing put it together once again, showing their desire to have boxing in the DMV. Hopefully this will be the start of bringing boxing back to DC on a regular basis.

Today Harrison is sparring with Pat Coye. Pat is a 178 lb. guy. Well over the 147 lb. weight limit that Harrison will be fighting at. It really doesn't matter who Harrison's sparring partner is. He is always ready to fight. Buddy Harrison says Pat is fighting March 17, 2012 in the Golden Gloves. Harrison predicts that Pat Coye will win the locals, regionals, and the nationals. " Remember Buddy Harrison is the guy that picked Lamont Peterson over Amir Khan." via Youtube: ProAmFightTalk

Corley is already the NABF Light Welterweight Champion and is trying to add another belt to his collection.

Today he is sparring with local professional boxer Thomas KO Snow.

You're OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WBC bans Chisora indefinitely

Out until he completes an anger management program

WBC Statement: Jose Sulaiman, Mexico, president of The World Boxing Council has followed strictly all the actions related to the misconduct of Derek Chisora, that is considered one of the worst behaviors ever by a professional boxer , and we stand strongly with the BBB of C and the BDB to resolve this case immediately. The WBC is absolutely condemning behaviors that are not to be accepted in boxing under any circumstances and will act as soon as it can proceed to impose the fines and sanctions as we consider necessary.

The WBC is imposing a serious fine to be finally determined after the hearing to be held under the supervision of our counsel representative attorney Stephen Beverly, the WBC will also take off from the WBC rankings, the name of Derek Chisora and declare an indefinite suspension against fighting again for a WBC title, while demanding Chisora to take an anger management medical treatment after which his suspension will be reconsidered.

Boxing has won through the years an outstanding position in the world of sports and is liked by a President as well as by a shoe shine boy; the WBC has devoted at least 35 years for safety and boxing is today a sport that had only one fatal accident in minor boxing, that has overturned the past; boxers are gentlemen and show to the world an example of honor and fair play when after a tremendous battle, they go to the center of the ring to pay respect to each other.

Mayweather's Lost Piece To The Puzzle Was Found being "COTTO"

Floyd Mayweather says: I'm not looking to cheat. I don't want to fight Miguel Cotto at a catch weight. I want to fight the best Miguel Cotto. To be the best you've got to beat the best and Cotto is one of the best fighters out there today. You know it's a puzzle, I want to finish the puzzle. Certain puzzles have certain pieces and Cotto is one of those pieces to my puzzle. So when I finish, I can solidify myself as one of the best fighters that ever lived. Pacquiao is an amazing fighter, but all I have to say is if you don't have anything to hide then take the test.

Miguel Cotto says: I'll keep it short. We have this stop in New York and we go to California on Thursday. I want these days over quickly so I can start training and get focused on the fight. I guarantee it's going to be one of the best fights you will ever see. I'm going to make every Puerto Rican proud.

"Dusty Harrison I'm ready but who is my opponent?"

Dusty Harrison is getting closer to his 4th professional fight on March 10, 2012 at the Washington DC Convention Center. He is in good health and in great shape. He has been a normal face in the gym since after his December 10, 2011 KO win over Terrell Davis. In January Team Dusty found out they will be the main event at the Convention Center on March 10, 2012. From that moment Harrison has been preparing for a fight like he always does. I got the chance to talk to Dusty's dad/trainer/manager today. I said to him, Buddy it's less than 2 weeks away from the fight who is Dusty's opponent? Buddy says in an angry voice " I HAVE NO F....N CLUE!!! " Then I asked him what's going on? He say " I DON'T KNOW" throwing his hands in the air.

Sometimes it's normal for a fight not to happen in boxing, but it's not normal for a fighter to be hosted as the main event but not even know who he will be facing. Team Dusty will be prepared for whoever they have to face in the ring but they are frustrated over the fact there is no fighter at all for Dusty in less than 2 weeks away from the fight date. Hopefully by the end of the day there will be an opponent's name given to Team Dusty.

Tony Jeter The New UBO Champion

Tony Jeter said what he wanted to do and came out and did just that. Both fighters started the first round very strong and had knock downs. Jeter's first round showing was much more aggressive and he landed more harder shots. The second round both fighters picked up the action but in the 3rd Jeter drops Felix but it wasn't called a knock down by the referee because it was a blow behind the head. Round 4 it was all Jeter. A fifth round head-butt opened a cut over Jeter's eye. The cut didn't bother him at all because in round 6 Jeter kept coming. In the 7th Jeter dropped Felix. Jeter suffers another cut in the 8th and final round but the score cards showed that Jeter out punched Felix to become the New UBO All-America Champion.

                                         Score Cards: Unanimous Decision  78-73, 80-71, 79-72

Venroy July vs Zeferino Albino

Venroy July came out in the first round and really showed his power by bullying around Albino. Every minute of the round July had his way by pressing the fight and opening up a cut over the eye of Albino. The ringside doctors were brought up to take a look at his eye and let Albino finish out round 1. Round 2 was no different. July started it with more hard punches and opened up the cut over Albino's eye even more. The referee took a good look at the eye and stopped the bout at 2:20 and Venroy July getting the TKO.
