Danny Garcia stops favored Amir Khan in 4th round to win WBA super lightweight title - ESPN

Danny Garcia upsets Amir Khan

LAS VEGAS -- Danny Garcia stopped heavy favorite Amir Khan in the fourth round to stay undefeated and add another super lightweight belt to his collection on Saturday night.

"I always knew I would win this fight," Garcia said. "I needed a great fighter in front of me to show how great a fighter I am. Now everyone knows."

Khan bruised Garcia early, even opening a small cut above his eye. But Garcia sent Khan to the canvas in the third round with a left hook, but the 2004 Olympic silver medalist for Britain was able to beat the count.

At the start of the fourth, though, Garcia swarmed him with power punches, knocking him down twice quickly. Khan got back to his feet each time, but the referee ended the bout at 2:28 of the round.


"It wasn't my night," Khan said. "I was coming in with my hands down and Danny took advantage of that. He countered very well against me."

The American now has the WBA title to go along with his WBC one. He improved his record to 24-0 with 15 knockouts while Khan fell to 26-3 with 18 KOs.

Khan was originally scheduled to face Lamont Peterson on May 19 in a rematch of their Dec. 10 bout in which Peterson took a 12-round split decision to win Khan's WBA and IBF titles.

Just days before the bout, Peterson tested positive for synthetic testosterone.

The fight was canceled and he was stripped of his WBA title which was later restored to Khan.

Garcia, who beat Erik Morales for the WBC title on March 24 agreed to fight Khan and took full advantage of the opportunity, defeating the popular fighter in spectacular fashion.

On the undercard, Fernando Guerrero beat Jose Medina by unanimous decision and Phil Lo Greco, J Leon Love, Daquan Arnett, Jamie Kavanagh and Abner Cotto won their bouts.

Haye KOs Chisora in fifth, eyes V. Klitschko

Jul 14th, 2012Share this story
Tweet11"This could be my last fight, if the Vitali Klitschko fight doesn’t happen," David Haye said after twice dropping Dereck Chisora en route to a fifth-round KO victory on Saturday. "I want to go out with a bang and do some damage."

David Haye erased his poor performance against Wladimir Klitschko last summer with a vicious fifth-round knockout of bitter rival Dereck Chisora on Saturday at the Ground at Upton Park in London – the hometown of both combatants.

Haye (26-2, 24 knockouts) first dropped Chisora with a left-right combination.

“Dell Boy” beat the count of referee Luis Pabon on very unsteady legs, but Haye sensed the moment and unloaded on his foe as he sought to hold on.

“The Hayemaker” landed a five-punch combo that put Chisora down on his face with six seconds left in the round. Chisora got up at the count of eight but was unable to continue and Pabon stopped the bout at 2:59 of round five.

“I thought it would go a couple of rounds but he hit me with good shots and I had to find a way to win,” said Haye, 31. “This is the best atmosphere. There was a lot of beef in there but we laid it on the line and I believe he will go on to achieve great things."

The bout was made after Haye and Chisora’s explosive brawl in February. After Chisora’s fight with Vitali Klitschko, Haye and Chisora (15-4, 9 KOs) exchanged words at the post-fight press conference before throwing blows.

That memorable moment led to Haye ending his short-lived retirement for the grudge match.

It was the first time Chisora, known for having a granite chin, was down in his career.

“Chisora has one of the best chins I’ve ever hit in my life," said Haye of a man who took all of Klitschko’s best shots.

"I got caught with a great shot, I don't know what it was and it is the first time I've been on the canvas,” said Chisora, a native of Zimbabwe. “But I'll be back."

The difference in the bout was Haye’s accuracy and world-class speed. He repeatedly landed powerful combinations then slipped before Chisora could return fire.

Chisora continued to march forward and pressure the former RING cruisierweight champion, as Haye fought well going backwards and potshotted Chisora.

In round two, Haye began to shoot the right uppercut and delivered some good right hands.

But the fight really picked up in the following frame. Haye landed a big shot at the bell, then Chisora followed with a huge left after the bell sounded.

The heavy hands of Haye were starting to take a toll on Chisora, who has now lost four of his last five bouts officially, though most believe he was outright robbed against Robert Helenius.

Haye landed a big right that staggered Chisora back into the ropes in the fourth. He had him in the corner and unloaded, mixing in straight lefts. Haye seemed buoyed by the shots and became more aggressive.

The fight was over in the fifth. Haye dropped Chisora twice before Pabon had seen enough and ended the contest, as the crowd of more than 30,000 went wild.

There were many obstacles to making the bout: Chisora’s license was suspended by the British Boxing Board of Control after the brawl and Haye didn’t have a license after retiring.

But with great demand to see this heavyweight clash, famed promoter Frank Warren found a loophole. He had the Luxembourg Boxing Federation sanction the bout, much to the dismay of the BBBOC, who ardently threatened participants of the promotion.

Haye rejuvenated his career with the victory. He is now clearly the best heavyweight without the surname Klitschko. The only bout he wants now is with the elder Klitschko brother, and he said he might once again call it quits if he can't get the bout.

"I've sent out a very scary message," said Haye. "I'll be surprised if Vitali Klitschko wants to fight me after that. He will no doubt try to fight some chump and then retire to be a politician."

Roach said the plan was to box and make it a boring fight, but he said Khan let the pre-fight trash talk from Garcia's father, Angel, impact the way he fought.
"He got away from the plan," Roach said. "I think Mr. Garcia got under his skin. He wanted to go out and knock this guy out. He threw combinations and pulled out and got caught on the end of a big shot. Garcia can punch, and that's how it goes."

Angel Garcia (Danny Garcia's dad) told reporters "Pakistanis can't fight," – Khan is British, of Pakistani descent – and said God punished Khan in 2008 when he was knocked out by Breidis Prescott.

mayabang din kasi itong si amir khan.

Casimero a champ without a home
by Ryan Songalia
Jul 31st, 2012Share this story


Johnriel Casimero, who defends his 108-pound title against Pedro Guevara in Guevara's hometown of Mazatlan, Mexico on Saturday, is keeping the "Road Warrior" tradition alive.

MANILA, Philippines – It'd be safe to say that no one will ever accuse IBF light flyweight titleholder Johnriel Casimero of being a coddled fighter.

Though the 22-year-old Casimero from Ormoc City, Leyte, Philippines has just 18 fights (16-2, 10 knockouts) to his credit, he has fought abroad four times in countries such as South Africa, Nicaragua and most recently Argentina, where his minor upset victory over former titleholder Luis Lazarte in February touched off a full scale riot, resulting in Casimero taking refuge underneath the ring.

This Saturday's bout against Pedro Guevara (18-0-1, 13 KOs) in Guevara's hometown of Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico will be Casimero's fifth such fight abroad. As Casimero has found out, fighting in other countries tends to be more profitable than fighting at home. The risk of being victimized by a hometown decision, biased officiating or worse is omnipresent in his career, but it's the risk he must take to maximize his profitability.

"I much like fighting in other countries because the prize is much bigger, plus I get to carry the country's name," said Casimero, who was upgraded from interim champion status to full champion less than two weeks ago after Ulises Solis was unable to make his mandatory challenge due to injury.

Casimero's promoter Sammy Gelloani admits that Guevara "is a stranger to us" but takes peace in the lack of standout victories on the unbeaten fighter's lack of big name victories. Casimero says he has seen YouTube videos of Guevara (most likely his draw against former title challenger Mario Rodriguez) and feels comfortable with the style, but is always worried about the possibility of bad officiating/judging.

Casimero previously challenged current IBF flyweight titleholder Moruti Mthalane in South Africa, losing by a fifth round TKO. Afterwards, Casimero said he wasn't able to adjust to the Johannesburg altitude with less than a week to acclimatize and fell apart due to exhaustion.

Casimero's situation isn't uncommon. Though the Philippines is a boxing rich country, economic hardship has made it very difficult for Filipino boxers to bring championship fights home where they can exercise the upper hand. Even though some boxing events in Manila charge as little as $3 USD, few draw well and many are hosted by town officials with free admission.

Filipino promoters rely heavily on local television networks to make a profit, but with limits on network budgets, negotiations for world title fights can be difficult.

"I have a hard time dealing with television because the television will just wait for somebody when he's already a superstar. That is the reality," said Gelloani. Gelloani, who also had to promote his previous world champion Marvin Sonsona abroad, says that a proposed July 28 bout featuring Casimero in Cebu was nixed due to financial reasons.

On short notice, Gelloani reached out to his international partner Sampson Lewkowicz, to arrange a fight in Mexico. Mexico, like Japan and Thailand, receives sizable support from local television networks to support world title bouts in their country, which results in more world champions and longer title reigns. Gelloani said that Mexican boxing also has strong financial support from beer companies like Corona and Tecate, which sponsor big title fights and shoulders much of the costs.

The Casimero vs. Guevara bout will be televised in the Philippines by local network TV5 on a delayed basis (Sunday, 1PM PHL time).

"The Philippines are coming up with lots of fighters with potential, and we need the TV [money] to support them," said Gelloani, who estimates that the cost of promoting a world title fight in the Philippines can be around 5 million pesos, or about $120,000 USD. "Sometimes I have to extend or to reschedule the promotion because we are losing money in our way of promotion. Except when TV comes in and supports us, that's the time when we can break even or move forward."

Aljoe Jaro can relate. Jaro is the boxing manager/trainer who recently guided underdog Sonny Boy Jaro to THE RING flyweight championship with an upset over Thai legend Pongsaklek Wonjongkam in Thailand, only to see Jaro lose it in his first defense in Japan. Another charge of his, THE RING's number 4 rated minimumweight Denver Cuello, has fought most of his bouts of consequence in Mexico.

Jaro says that a Filipino boxer competing in a championship fight can make around $50,000 USD per fight, but only half of that back home. He adds that shouldering the expenses of a title bout where the paid gate isn't likely to be significant is a dangerous risk.

There has been some hope for Philippine boxing of late, as Cebu-based promotional outfit ALA Boxing recently won a battle to bring the AJ Banal vs. Thai boxer Pungluang Sor Singyu for the vacant WBO bantamweight title to Manila on October 20. It wasn't easy, and negotiations took five months. Another of their boxers, WBO light flyweight champion Donnie Nietes, was able to mix in some homeland defenses among his appearances in Mexico.

Staging a Casimero world title fight in the Philippines is a dream of his, says Gelloani. He hopes that by winning against the odds overseas, the networks and sponsors will take note and see something worth investing in.

"Casimero is not a big name yet," said Gelloani. "We are hoping if ever we can successfully defend our title in Mexico, we're hoping that the television will turn their back like, 'Oh I think we have to support Casimero.' So we have to let him be exposed more, we have that prestige of fighting abroad and I think that the television will come after us after this."
