The night Patterson met “The Ol’ Mongoose”

HISTORICAL / James

The night Patterson met the Ol’ Mongoose 1956 Chicago 30th of November – Archie Moore gets another crack at the heavyweight crown — but this time, it is for the vacated title left by the retirement of Rocky Marciano, whose last defense was against none other than the Ol’ Mongoose, Archie Moore. Floyd Patterson won the heavyweight title in 1956 by defeating Archie Moore on November 30th. Patterson knocked out Moore in the fifth round to capture the title, which the retired Rocky Marciano had vacated. At 21, Patterson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history. Patterson’s victory was notable not only because of his age but also because of his unique peekaboo style of boxing, which involved holding his gloves close to his face to protect against punches. This style, fostered by trainer Cus D’ Amato, combined with Patterson’s speed and agility, helped him outmaneuver and ultimately defeat Moore. Moore, whose quest for the title was thwarted by Rocky Marciano the year before, got a second chance, and the veteran fighter with a record of 160-20-8 was installed as a slight 7-5 favorite. D’Amato, who had guided Patterson and his peek-a-boo style, was confident that his protege had enough experience to take on his senior opponent.

NYPD officer Nisa Rodriguez remained unbeaten with first KO

PRESS RELEASES / James

DOMINGUEZ GETS OFF CANVAS TO DEFEAT ANGEL GEOVANNY MEZA MORALES NYPD officer Nisa Rodriguez remained unbeaten with first KO “Holiday Fight Night 3” Official Results NEW YORK CITY (December 18, 2024) – Last night’s “Holiday Fight Night 3” card, presented by Boxing Insider Promotions, showcased some of the best Big Apple prospects in Sony Hall’s intimate surroundings, streamed live on DAZN from historic Times Square. “There is no place like New York City for boxing,” said promoter Larry Goldberg, the 2024 New York State Promoter of the Year (NYSBHOF). “It has the greatest vibe of anywhere in the world with great fans, as tough as nails, and the strongest regulations in the sport. Promoting our 10th professional boxing event in Times Square since 2022 and our third fight in a row on DAZN has been a real privilege. We are returning to New York City on Thursday night, February 20th, and will announce details shortly.” The main event between Mexican flyweight Andy Dominguez, a three-time New York Golden Gloves Champion fighting out of the South Bronx, and his Mexican opponent, Angel “Geovanny “Rayito” Meza Morales (8-3-3, 6 KOs), was an old-fashioned barnburner in which Dominguez overcame a knockdown in the third round to win the fight. (L) Andy Dominguez won an eight-round split decision over Angel Geovanny Meza Morales (Pictures courtesy of Stephanie Trapp / TrappFotos) Dominguez clearly won the first two rounds, but the knockdown evened the fight going into the fourth, in which a confident Morales picked up the pace. Dominguez established command in sixth round and kept control through the remainder of the bout for an eight-round unanimous decision. NYPD officer Nisa Rodriguez (3-0, 1 KO), ranked No. 9 in the world by the World Boxing Council (WBC), registered the knockout of her relatively young pro career with a second-round stoppage of middleweight Melody Popravak (2-2-1, 1 KO). Rodriguez rocked Popravak with 30 seconds remaining in the opening round, continuing with a barrage of punches until the bell. Popravak never recovered and Rodriguez, who fights out of Manhattan, battered her with crisp combinations until the fight was halted at the 52-second mark. (L) Nisa Rodriguez registered her first knockout as a pro Popular Manhattan middleweight Jacob Solis (5-0-1, 5 KOs) fought a four-round split draw with late replacement Daniel Jefferson (5-3-1, 0 KOs). Unlike his original opponent, Solis fought a southpaw, and he never found his rhythm. Solis unsuccessfully went for the knockout in the final round, firing overhand rights that never round their mark. Promoter Goldberg announced after the fight that the Solis and Jefferson would fight in a rematch, only in a six-rounder, on February 20. Blue-chip super middleweight prospect Donte Layne (6-0, 6 KOs), 21, kept cruising as he stopped Pachino Hill (8-8-2, 6 KOs) in the fourth round. Fighting out of Long Island, celebrated U.S. amateur boxer Layne made it a perfect 6-for-6 (6 KOs in 6 pro fights), dropping Hill with a damaging body shot in the third, followed in the fourth with a right hook that sent Hill to the canvas once again. Layne jumped on his woozy opponent, throwing an assortment of unanswered punches that forced Hill to take a knee, and the referee immediately waved off the fight. Lightweight Terell Bostic (14-2, 2 KOs), despite injuring his right hand during the fight, nearly pitched a “shutout” enroute to a one-sided eight-round unanimous decision over upset-minded Carlos Marrero (8-10-3, 1 KO). Bostic won all eight rounds on two of the three judges’ scorecards, displaying great conditioning and punching from the pocket. In the opening bout of the evening, Brooklyn lightweight Koby Khalil Williams (4-0, 3 KOs) only needed less than half of the first round to finish off Deonta Williamson (0-3), connecting with hooks from various angles to floor an overwhelmed Williamson for a technical knockout.

LEFT HAND DOWN – MUNGUIA UPSET NOT NEW TO BOXING

CURRENT EVENTS / James

LEFT HAND DOWN — MUNGIA UPSET NOT NEW TO BOXING It happens. And it happens on every level of boxing. This is why the core fundamentals are so important and that mistakes should be corrected in sparring sessions and the gym. And after all the training, the sacrifice, the hard work — it can still happen. Boxing upsets are nothing new, and the Mugaia loss to an unknown French prospect, Bruno Surace, with only 4 KO’s in 28 bouts shows how not to take any opponent lightly because anything can happen in boxing. Left hand down – Surace turns over a right hand to stop Mungaia. Courtesy Top Rank. Surace was waiting for the precise moment to throw the right hand, and he turned it over — connecting and ending the match at 2:36 of the sixth round. Jamie Munguia’s recent loss to previously unknown Bruno Surace was disputedly 2024’s biggest upset.. Surace, who was a massive underdog, knocked out Munguia in the sixth round of what was supposed to be a homecoming event in Tijuana. Shock to the boxing world, Surace took the best Mungaia had to offer, floored in the second, and then slowly gained confidence as the rounds wore on. Given Munguia’s reputation and the odds stacked against Surace we were expecting a KO from the highly touted super- middleweight, whose management was already planning his next big super bout. All in all, fans love the open-hands style of Munguia, yet it leaves him vulnerable to what happened in this bout. His recklessness may have finally caught up to him. It’s always fascinating to see these unexpected outcomes in boxing. Questions to be asked and answered in the coming months: Will Surace’s victory change the landscape for upcoming matches, or was it just a one-time fluke? Will there be an immediate rematch, or do both fighters go their separate ways? Does this make Surace an instant contender in the super-middleweight sweepstakes? Where does Munguia go from here?

Kansas super middleweight prospect

PRESS RELEASES / James

Kansas super middleweight prospect 19-year-old Marco “El Tiburón” Romero Capped incredible 12-month boxing stretch KANSAS CITY, Kan. (November 26, 2024) — Kansas super middleweight prospect Marco “El Tiburón” Romero’s (4-0, 3 KOs) recent victory in Portland, Maine, capped an incredible 12-month stretch in which he was 13-0 overall in the ring, combining nine amateur matches and four pro bouts. A promotional free agent, Romero destroyed Orlando “El Marro” Salgado (3-6, 2 KOs), blasting his way to sensational knockout – displaying the best left hook to the body in New England boxing since “Irish” Micky Ward – at the 1:21 mark of the opening round on a November 9th card promoted by Bobby Russo’s Portland Boxing Club at Exposition Building. “I’ve always had that power, especially that left hook to the body,” Romero commented. “I knew it was over when I hit him with that body shot and he grunted. I’ve worked a lot on that left hook to the head and body. I haven’t met Micky Ward, yet, but I watched the movie, and it was a great story.” Because he hadn’t reached the mandatory age of 18, and his weight class (super middleweight) wasn’t included in 2024 Olympic boxing, Romero never seriously considered waiting for a shot at making the U.S. Olympic Team. Instead, his eyes were firmly focused on only one prize: to become a professional fighter. Last December, Romero captured back-to-back champion honors at two of the most prestigious U.S. amateur events, USA Boxing National Championships and 2024 National Golden Gloves Tournament. All told, in the last 12 months, he was 9-0 in amateur competition, including three at The Nationals and five at The Golden Gloves, in addition to his four pro wins to date for a combined 13-0 record, which includes four as a pro and eight in elite national amateur competition (and a win in one non-national event). The Romero Plan never included The Olympics, primarily because of his age (he didn’t turn 19 until this past Thursday) and that his weight class wasn’t sanctioned at the Paris games. Not only did Marco close out his 12-months of extraordinary boxing with triumphs at The Nationals and The National Golden Gloves, but he was also named Most Outstanding Boxer (Golden Boy Award) at the latter competition. His 12-month long, prearranged schedule called for a break from fighting during the holidays and he’s gearing up for Thanksgiving, Christmas and an expected life-changing 2025. He is tentatively scheduled to return to the ring during the first quarter of next year. “Hey, we’re Mexicans. and we love food,” Romero remarked. “I’m going to enjoy the holidays with my family, but I’ll continue working hard to get better, even during the holidays.” In Romero’s corner is a legendary 77-year-old John Brown, who is Marco’s head trainer and manager, the same role he played for world heavyweight champion Tommy Morrison (48-3-1, 42 KOs) from his amateur days through his first 39 pro fights, 1988 to 1993. “I liked the fact Marco fought in front of a lot of people. 3,000 rabid fans,” Brown noted. “It was an exciting environment and down the road, he’s going to be in big fights, and it was good for him to get experience like he did in his last fight. He has a great left hook like so many Mexican fighters. I like that he’s going to have some time off after the last 12 months. We need to find him some durable sparring because that’s lacking in this area. I want him in real sparring sessions, not holding back, to know when to let it go. I don’t worry about his time off over the holidays because he’s always in the gym and he’s only 19.” Other integral members of Romero’s corner are assistant coaches Sergio Flores and Marco’s father, Salvador Romero, who encouraged his son to become a boxer at the tender age of seven.

TEVIN FARMER REFLECTS ON THRILLING BATTLE

PRESS RELEASES / James

Photo Credits: Golden Boy / Cris Esqueda TEVIN FARMER REFLECTS ON THRILLING BATTLE AGAINST WILLIAM ZEPEDA THAT PROVED HE IS AN ELITE CONTENDER NEW YORK (November 26, 2024) — Refreshed and back in the United States following a well-deserved post-fight vacation in Zanzibar, Tevin Farmer has plenty of thoughts and reflections in the aftermath of his strong performance against William Zepeda in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In a display of heart, skill, and unrelenting determination, the former world champion pushed his undefeated adversary—the #1 lightweight contender across all four major sanctioning bodies—to the brink in a razor-thin split decision loss on the undercard of Golden Boy Promotions’ Riyadh Season: Latino Night, broadcast live on DAZN. With the WBC interim lightweight world title at stake, Farmer fell just one point shy of victory on the scorecards, in a gritty, impressive effort that solidified his standing as one of the elite fighters at 135 pounds. “I loved fighting in Saudi Arabia. It was my second time fighting abroad. Everyone treated me well. Yes, I thought I won, but overall it was an amazing experience,” said Farmer, the former IBF junior lightweight world champion, who is a great-great nephew of boxing legend Joe Gans. “I’m always in the gym, but I spent 10 weeks in training camp preparing for this fight. Zepeda’s team expected me to be a boxer, so I switched it up. Zepeda is an aggressive volume puncher and you can’t let fighters like that apply the pressure. You have to be the bully, the one pressing forward and initiating the action. I’m a helluva fighter on the inside, I just never had to bring it out like that before.” Farmer scored the fight’s lone knockdown with a perfectly timed straight left in the fourth frame, showcasing his trademark accuracy and ring IQ. Zepeda was visibly rattled but managed to recover. “This was the fifth fight of my comeback, which began last June. Four of my last five opponents have hit the canvas and that now includes the #1 contender at lightweight. I fought a guy that was 31-0, with 27 knockouts, and he gets dropped by a fighter supposedly with no power,” Farmer continued. “I saw that Zepeda was throwing a lazy jab. I tried to counter it early on, but Zepeda was watching me. Timing is key. In round four, I threw a combination and the second he came back with that lazy jab, I reacted with my straight left.” Judges Predrag Aleksic, Jun Bae Lim, and Fernando Villarreal each scored the bout 95-94, with two tallies in favor of Zepeda and one for Farmer. All three unanimously awarded Farmer rounds 4, 5, 8, and 10, with Lim’s additional nod in round one making the difference on her card. “Zepeda was the favorite and a Golden Boy fighter, so I knew I had to finish strong and dominate the last round. His punch output was crazy, but he was standing right in front of me and was there to be hit. Watch the fight and you’ll see I hurt him several times throughout the bout,” said Farmer. “When I heard the decision, I was dejected, but I knew in my heart that I won. Losing a close decision under those circumstances is an unfortunate part of the sport, but the world saw what I can do.” “Put respect on Tevin Farmer’s name,” said Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment, on social media, in the wake of the thrilling contest. “Thought Tevin shaded it, but it was close. Tevin stands with the top of the division! He has proved that like a G and a warrior in his last two fights. That was universal #1 Zepeda in there; the knockdown should have decided it!” Four months earlier in Las Vegas, Farmer put forth a valiant challenge against 20-0 rising contender Raymond Muratalla in July, another bout many observers felt Farmer arguably won. The back-to-back clashes against two of the best lightweights have left no doubt about Farmer’s world-class caliber. “I already knew it mentally, but the Muratalla fight showed me that I physically still have it and can beat these young boys,” said Farmer. “Tevin Farmer is a man’s man, an underdog, a champion, and a professional,” DiBella asserted. “Tev will return and will win a big fight again.” Respected boxing analyst Dan Rafael echoed those sentiments, stating on Big Fight Weekend podcast: “Tevin Farmer is still a very solid, very credible world-class level fighter. He stood his ground, fought intelligently, and clipped Zepeda with a beautiful shot for the knockdown. He’s proven he belongs among the top at 135 pounds.” The call for Farmer to receive another significant opportunity is growing louder. Doug Fischer, Editor-in-Chief of The Ring Magazine, was direct: “I think Zepeda owes Farmer a rematch.” Chris Mannix, of DAZN, added, “Farmer deserves another real fight,” while BoxingScene’s Francisco Salazar lauded his courage: “Few fighters today would take on Zepeda and Muratalla back-to-back. Farmer is one of the few, and he’s still a top contender.” “I do want the rematch, an immediate rematch if I had my way. If not Zepeda, let’s do another big fight,” Farmer emphasized. “My performance showed the world that Tevin Farmer is a top fighter and he’s dangerous. I’m ready to take on anyone.” Tevin Farmer has proven time and again that he is a fighter’s fighter—fearless, skilled, and capable of competing at the highest level. Now, he deserves the stage to continue demonstrating why he’s one of boxing’s elite. Photo Credit: Golden Boy / Cris Esqueda
