JANUARY 18th

Post by Astor »

January 18, 1937 - Laurel Garden - Tony Galento (The Jersey Nightstick) 60-21-3 (Orange) fought to a 10 round draw with Don Petrin 12-13-2 (Englewood). In the Semi-Final 6 round bout Tippy Larkin, 34-2-0 (Garfield) won a 6 round bout over Chang Collura 3-4-0 (Newark). This was their third and last bout with Larkin winning two and Collura one. Collura would have nine bouts in Newark.
Scapp:
"A champion, a true champion is to take on all capable challengers. A true champion defends his title, and looks for matches that pose a threat in order to prove to the world he deserves to be called the best of the best."

"Man, it really felt good to be home and some of my family and grandkids were here so we had a very pleasant evening. Again, thanks for all of the encouragement and kind words. You are truly a great bunch of friends."

(JAN 18, 2003) Regina Halmich won by a unanimous decision over Nadja Loritz and successfully defended her WIBF Flyweight Title.

Image


ROUND 1
Regina immediately takes the initiative and hits Nadja with several jabs. In the second half of the round she gets complete control of the fight and dominates easily.

ROUND 2
Halmich comes out strongly again, making good combinations and using her left hook effectively. There is not much counteraction from Loritz. Most of her punches miss their mark anyway.

ROUND 3
Halmich stays focussed and keeps scoring with left hooks and bodyshots. So far, she's had no problems at all.

ROUND 4
The same pattern as in the previous round with Halmich constantly attacking and Loritz occasionally pretending to fight back. In this round, she doesn't manage to hit Halmich one single time.

ROUND 5
Regina uses every weapon she has: left and right hooks and flurries of bodyshots. She moves well and totally dominates the fight. After this round, Nadja is booed by the audience and rightly so.

ROUND 6
Halmich still has complete control and can do whatever she wants. She wins every exchange.

ROUND 7
Nadja is on the receiving end all through. She just keeps up her defense and tries to limit the damage.

ROUND 8
It's more like a boxing exercise than a real fight for Halmich, but she doesn't slow down and goes on to demonstrate all her skills.

ROUND 9
A fierce start by a confident Halmich. Human punching ball Loritz stays on her feet and that's about it.

ROUND 10
Regina comes out more strongly than ever, hitting Nadja with lots of bodyshots at a very high pace. She still looks very fit.

The judges' verdict:
Halmich wins by unanimous decision
Heinrich Mühmert 98-92
Joachim Jacobsen 100-90
Andreas Schweiger 99-91

Halmich certainly made an impressive performance, but Nadja Loritz was very disappointing. She took a boxing lesson plain and simple. Up till now she mainly fought obscure opponents with mysterious (sometimes
even non-existing) records. It makes you wonder why they let a woman with such limited skills fight for a world title.

Number 1 middleweight contender Bennie Briscoe opened 1972 with a TKO victory over Buffalo's Al Quinney on this date, before 3,323 Philadelphia Arena fans.

The fireworks started almost immediately as Briscoe blasted his spidery 6' 1" foe with his usual right and left-hand bombs, scoring a knockdown toward the end of the first round. But that was just the warm-up. In round two, Briscoe whacked away at Quinney, putting him down three times in 1:45 for the automatic stoppage. It was Briscoe's 10th KO in a row.

The win lifted Bennie's record to 41-9-1-1 NC (34 KO) and pointed him back toward old rival Carlos Monzon, by then the middleweight king. Briscoe's prior draw with a pre-champion Monzon was disputed by many who felt Bennie should have gotten the decision. Thus a rematch was a natural and was hotly anticipated by boxing fans. However, steering Monzon back into the ring with the ever-tough Briscoe would prove to be a challenge. None the less, it would happen by the end of the year.

BAD BENNIE BRISCOE!!! 53 of his 66 wins came via KNOCKOUT!!! Great post Rasta....best of this thread, best of the day!!

I love old school posters, too....I have a Jeffries/Johnson (reproduction of course) poster hanging on my office wall, and have a Joe Louis vs James Braddock one hanging on the same wall. I have a few at home, too....BTW, interesting item which I just re-discovered over the holidays. I have an original two page coverage of a James Jeffries fight (I think vs Sharkey?), but it is stored in my "stache" and when I went to hide a few presents for my wife....saw it and thought, WTF? THen opened it back up and was in awe...hahaha. I need to get both pages framed....

Peace!! WAR BAD BENNIE!!!!

The undercard was pretty interesting. Barreto outpointed Saurennann in a non-title 10-rounder. Kates stopped Miller in 3. Roy 'Tiger' Williams outpinted Russell over 10 rounds to win the Pennsylvania heavyweight title. Watson beat Hayman on points over 8 (but would lose t o him twice in subsequent bouts). And, by the time the card took place, another middleweight 10 was added as the semi-final- in that bout, Willie 'The Worm' Monroe outpointed Alvin Phillips. They too would fight two more times with Monroe winning their rematch in Philadephia and Phillips emerging triumphant in their third encounter which was hel;d in Phillips' hometown of New Orleans.

Barreto was a fringe contender who had lost twice to Gypsy Joe Harris and split a pair of decisions, winning over 10 and losing over 15, wit Percy Pugh. He would go on to fight Hayman twice, battling to a 10-round draw and then later outpointing the Philadelphian. His biggest win was a 12-round decision over former welterweight champion Bily Backus in 1973 and he retired with a 30-9-5 record after dropping an 8-round duke to Floyd Mayweather (Senior) in 1977.

Saurennann would later split a pair of 10 round decisions with Watson in 1974 before losing the Pennsylvania welterweight title to Hayman that year.

Hayman's major claim to fame was that he was the first fighter to go the distance with Thomas Hearns. Hearns had won his first 17 by KO and although dominating their fight, Hearns could not halt the veteran Hayman. Hayman did not win a round but he had the satisfaction of making it to the final bell.

Richie Kates had already beaten Len Hutchins by the time he fought Miller and he would go on to challenge WBA light heavyweight champion Victor Galindez twice, losing on a 15th round KO and on points after 15 rounds. Kates beat many top notch fighters including Roger Rouse, Eddie Owens, Don Fullmer, Jose Gonzalez, Jimmy Dupree, Pierre Fourie, future IBF super middleweight champion Murray Sutherland, John Capobianco, Jerry Celestine, Richie Bennett, future IBF cruiserweight champion Jeff Lampkin, and Jerry 'The Bull' Martin. Besides his losses to Galindez, his other defeats were to Owens (the first time they fought), the then Matt Franklin (later Matthew Saad Muhammad), the incarcerated James Scott in a bout held at Rahway State Prison in New Jersey, and Celestine (in their rematch).

Kates retired in 1983 after beating Martin. In a way it avenged his loss to Scott because Martin had gone into Rahway and defeated Scott in 1980, 14 1/2 months after Kates had lost there. Kates' final record was 45-6 with 23 KO's.

Williams, who owned a 4-round decision win over Jimmy Young, went on to enjoy two brief stays as a top ten heavyweight contender but losses to Richard Dunn and later to Henry Clark, Larry Holmes, and Earnie Shavers ended the those brief appearances near the top. Williams retired in 1979, going out on the strength of 7 straight wins, the last, a KO victory over Walter Santemore. Santemore would later outpoint Shavers.

Williams' career slate reads 30-6 with 22 KO's.

The fighter he beat January 18, 1971, Roger Russell, also had a brief stay as a top ten contender. In late 1967, he won a split decision over Leotis Martin and in '68, he drew with perennial contender Zora Folley. In was downhill after that, as Russell lost 15 straight before winning a rematch with prospect Lou Esa. Russell then was stopped in the first round of each of his last 2 fights. His career record was 12-18-2. He fought and lost to many top notch boxers (including 2 Hall of Famers)- James J. Woody, Jeff Merritt, Mac Foster, Leotis Martin (in their rematch), GEORGE FOREMAN, FLOYD PATTERSON, the aforementioned "Tiger' Williams, Bunny Johnson, the aforementioned Richie Kates, Duane Bobick, Larry Middleton, and Bernardo Mercado.

THE same Richard Dunn who fought Ali? Do you remember that fight KSTAT? Hilarious tactics pulled by Dunn....ali was clowning, dropped Dunn, he's on his knees, and throws a punch!! LOL. He also tries the "behind the back" punch. And damn, he did the drunken two-step when Ali popped him. He was a paratrooper, right? Good stuff.....nice read. Thanks

The "one and only" Richard Dunn- the strange thing Dunn was actually the British, Commonwealth, and European champion at the time he challenged Ali. After losing to Ali, Dunn lost all 3 of those titles to Joe Bugner by KO in the first round in his next fight. But he can tell his grandchildren, " I fought the great Muhammad Ali for the heavyweight title." Hopefully, they don't (or won't) have access to a tape of that fight!!

1895- Tommy Ryan KO 3 Jack Dempsey "The Nonpareil", Coney Island. Retains world welterweight title.

1907- Abe Attell KO 8 Harry Baker, Los Angeles. Retains world featherweight title.

1924- Harry Greb W 15 Johnny Wilson, NYC. Retains world middleweight title. Referee: Patsy Haley According to Boxing Blade, this was a close fight, but the decision met with "the approval of the fans." Wilson made his best showing in the early rounds, taking the 1st, 3rd, and 5th. After that, Greb came on and the 7th round was probably his best one. Greb also did very well in the 8th, 10th, and 15th. Wilson's best late round was the 12th. Most of the others were "about fifty-fifty." This was not one of Greb's better efforts.

1932- Johnny Jadick W 10 Tony Canzoneri, Philadelphia. Wins world junior welterweight title.

1956- Sandy Saddler KO 13 Flash Elorde, San Francisco. Retains world featherweight title.

1962- Eder Jofre KO 10 Johnny Caldwell, Sao Paulo. Retains WBA world bantamweight title/Wins European version of world bantamweight title/wins vacant lineal and Ring Magazine world bantamweight titles. (Note: some historians already recognized Jofre as the "lineal champion" but he gained universal recognition with his win over Caldwell.)

1965- Carlos Hernandez W 15 Eddie Perkins, Caracas. Wins world junior welterweight title.

1986- Samart Payakaroon KO 5 Lupe Pintor, Bangkok. Wins WBC super bantamweight title.

1992- Meldrick Taylor W 12 Glenwood Brown, Philadelphia. Retains WBA welterweight title.

1992- Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker W 10 Harold Brazier, Philadelphia. Non-title junior welterweight bout.

1997- Kostya Tszyu NC 1 Leonardo Mas, Las Vegas. Retains IBF Junior Welterweight title. (Mas was dropped three times, but the final knockdown occurred on a break and he could not continue. Originally ruled a technical draw, but later changed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission to a no contest.)

1997- Oscar De La Hoya W 12 Miguel Angel Gonzalez, Las Vegas. Retains WBC Super Lightweight Title.

1997- Maurcio Pastrana W 12 Michael Carbajal, Las Vegas. Wins IBF Junior Flyweight title.

Born On This Day

1964- Virgil Hill (born in Clinton, Missouri)
Joplin, Missouri fighter partly of Native American heritage, who forged a solid connection between the state of North Dakota and the sport of boxing.
Amateur career
In 1984 Hill, then age 20, won a silver medal in the 1984 Summer Olympics representing the United States as a Middleweight in Los Angeles in a close decision loss in the 165-lb. final (the USA's only loss on decision in Los Angeles). His results were:
* Defeated Barbados Edward Neblett RSC 2
* Defeated United Kingdom Brian Schumacher 5-0
* Defeated Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Damir Škaro 4-1
* Defeated Algeria Mohamed Zaoui 5-0
* Lost to South Korea Shin Joon-Sup 2-3
In addition, Hill was the 1984 National Golden Gloves champion at Middleweight .
Professional career
After going eighteen straight fights without a loss to start his pro career, 'Quicksilver' (his nickname) was a challenger to Leslie Stewart of Trinidad for the latter's WBA light heavyweight tile in September 1987 in Atlantic City. After an even match in the early going, Hill floored the defending title holder twice in the fourth round - first with a left hook and the second time with an uppercut - to take the title on a TKO win.
A series of ten successful defenses followed, mostly in his adopted hometown of Williston, ND. Offers were being made for Hill to fight in Las Vegas and other cities, but Virgil chose the place of his 'roots' and 'hometown fans' to be the place of the majority of his defenses. Opponents in his first run as champion included Bobby Czyz, James Kinchen, Joe Lasisi, and Ramzi Hassan. Then superstar Thomas Hearns would meet - and defeat - Hill in Las Vegas by decision in June 1991 to end Hill's first reign as champion.
After a couple of fights over the next year or so, it was Hill pitted against 1984 Olympic teammate Frank Tate in September 1992 for the vacant WBA 175-lb. title (the same title that Hearns won from Hill, but which was vacated after Iran Barkley dethroned Hearns afterward). It was a 'grudge match' between the two, and Hill won the decision (and the title) on his home turf of Bismarck. Another string of ten defenses would follow, including a rematch with Tate, a close decision over Lou Del Valle (who almost upset Hill), and a decision over IBF title holder Henry Maske to unify the belts, before German/Polish fighter & WBO title holder Dariusz Michalczewski scored a unanimous decision over Hill in June 1997 to unify the WBA, WBO & IBF titles.
Hill continued to fight, including against Roy Jones Jr. the following year, and was stopped in four. It was then on to the cruiserweights for the aging Hill, and he won a title at age 36 - the WBA cruiserweight title - by knocking down Fabrice Tiozzo three times to win the title in Villeurbanne, France by TKO in the first. He made his first defense, also in France, against Jean-Marc Mormeck, but would lose both match and title on cuts after nine rounds. He then decisioned Donny Lalonde in July 2003 in a North Dakota-Manitoba 'border fight', but later lost a disputed decision to Mormeck in a title rematch in South Africa in May 2004.
On Saturday January 27, 2006 Virgil Hill defeated previously undefeated Russian cruiserweight Valery Brudov by unanimous decision to win the 'regular' WBA World Cruiserweight championship. Despite being cut on the face in the sixth round, Hill was able to out hustle and out work his much younger opponent to capture his fifth world title at the age of 42.
His next to last fight was held in Germany on March 31, 2007. He faced Henry Maske, whom Hill had beaten in 1996 to unify the WBA and IBF light heavyweight titles. Maske had announced his retirement prior to that fight and was frustrated to end his career with a loss, the only loss in his professional career. When he heard about Hill capturing the world title again at the age of 42, he decided to challenge him for a rematch. Hill lost this fight after 12 rounds, making Maskes unforeseen comeback possible.
Since then he has lost again, this time to Firat Arslan in a 12 round unanimous decision. Virgil Hill has retired.

1979- Yonnhy Perez (born in Cartagena, Colombia)
Professional boxer who resides in Santa Fe Springs, California. He is the current IBF Bantamweight champion. Ring Magazine currently rates Pérez at number four in the bantamweight division
Although born in Colombia, Pérez has fought all but one of his professional fights in the United States. He made his debut on July 30, 2005 in Tucson, Arizona at the age of 26. Pérez made a winning start to his career, knocking out Steve Lozoya in the first round.
Pérez faced his biggest challenge on 29 May, 2009, when he travelled to Johannesburg, South Africa to fight Silence Mabuza in an IBF Bantamweight title eliminator. Mabuza, a native of Johannesburg, was a former world champion and had only lost to the renowned Mexican Rafael Marquez. Despite trailing on all three scorecards, Pérez was able to knock Mabuza out in the final round.
In his first world title fight Pérez successfully challenged the IBF champion, Joseph Agbeko from Ghana. Agbeko, who in his previous fight defeated Vic Darchinyan, suffered a knockdown (a result of an unintentional headbutt) in the tenth round en route to losing his title to Pérez via a unanimous decision.
On May 22, 2010, Pérez, defending his IBF title for the first time, fought to a majority draw against the unbeaten Mexican Abner Mares. One judge scored the bout 115-113 in favor of Mares while the other two scored it 114-114 even, resulting in Pérez retaining his title. After the fight both boxers claimed that the decision should have gone their way and have both expressed interest in a rematch.
Rather than an immediate rematch with Mares, Perez will be facing Joseph Agbeko for the second time in the first round of Showtime's upcoming bantamweight tournament while Mares faces Vic Darchinyan live from Guanajuato, Mexico on December 11. The winners of both fights will face each other sometime in early 2011.

1992- Meldrick Taylor W 12 Glenwood Brown, Philadelphia. Retains WBA welterweight title.


Meldrick still had a couple good wins after Chavez, but it was clear he was slipping. Brown was one of those wins. Taylor hit the canvas twice, but "The Real Beast" could not keep him there. Glenwood was a good fighter, but he turned into an opponent over night just like Taylor and Frankie Randall. I saw Brown fight live in his win over Raphael Williams.

TWO YEARS AGO TODAY:

January 18, 2010-

Tel Aviv, Israel-

Future WBO junior heavyweight (cruiserweight) title challenger Ran Nakash knocked out no-hoper Attila Makula in the 2nd round.

In the co-feature, WIBF bantamweight champion Hagar Shmoulefeld Finer, making her first defense of her title, unanimously outpointed Serbian challenger Fleis Djendi over 6 rounds.

Nakash would win three more bouts, improving to 25-0, before taking on WBO champion Marco Huck as a late substitute. Huck inflicted the first loss on the native Israeli's record by winning a 12-round, unanimous decision.

Ms. Shmoulefeld Finer, still the reigning WIBF champion, has since made three more successful title defenses, stopping Latvia-based Armenian Agnesse Boza in 5 rounds, unanimously outpointing former WIBF junior flyweight champion Julia "Sunshine" Sahin of Germany over 10 rounds, and winning a 10-round, split decision over former French and European bantamweight champion Nadege Szikora.
