"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."

Banks fought for another 3 years. In his last two bouts, he was knocked out by Cleveland Williams and by Leotis Martin.
Tragically, three days after the Martin fight, Banks, who was only 24, died from injuries he suffered during the 9 rounds that bout lasted.

I guess I will stop eating out of aluminum pots. I remember my grandad telling me about it and its one of those things one does not forget except apparently the numbers. Oh well from now on I will check my little stats and not rely on lack of memory.

Born On This Day
1912- Albert "Chalky" Wright (born Albert Garfield Wright in Wilcox, Arizona)
An American who was born in Arizona although many will dispute this. He was a featherweight boxer who fought from 1928 to 1948, and his career record was 160 wins (81 KO), 43 losses and 18 draws.In 2003, Wright made the Ring Magazine's list of 100 greatest punchers of all time.
Wright's family were migrant farm workers,during the depression era.Wright was the Trainer of Lightweight contender Tommy Campbell in 1950.Wright served as a chauffeur and bodyguard for Mae West.
[edit] Professional career
Wright turned professional at the age of 16 and campaigned for many years before getting a crack at the featherweight championship then held by Joey Archibald. On September 11, 1941, Wright dethroned Archibald by scoring a TKO in the eleventh round. Wright successfully defended the title against former champion Harry Jeffra (TKO 10) on June 19, 1942, but lost his title on a decision to the legendary Willie Pep on November 20, 1942. In 1938, Wright also met the great Henry Armstrong, but was knocked out in 3 rounds.
Wright died on August 12, 1957 when he slipped in a bathtub and drowned.
Despite attempts to discredit his heritage, Wright was without a doubt born in the Mexican state of Durango. Although not Mexican ethnically, was he born there. Wright, son of Santiago Wright, was a Black man whose first language was Spanish. Records can be traced to show he lived at one point in Colton, California. He was not born in Durango, Colorado.
Named to The Ring Magazine's 100 Greatest Punchers (2003).
1919- Bob Montgomery (born in Sumter, South Carolina)
An American boxer from Philadelphia. He was born in Sumter, South Carolina.
Montgomery went undefeated in his first 23 fights, going 22-0-1 and winning the Pennsylvania State Lightweight Title.
Montgomery beat Julie Kogon three times. Their first fight was at the Broadway Arena in Brooklyn on January 28, 1941, which Montgomery won by decision. They fought again on October 24 that same year, this time at the Chicago Coliseum, a fight Montgomery again took by decision. The two squared off for the last time on June 2, 1947 in Kogon's hometown at the New Haven Arena, but the result was still the same
Montgomery lost to former lightweight champ Sammy Angott by split decision at Shibe Park on July 7, 1942.
In 1942 Montgomery had two battles with Maxie Shapiro. In the first fight Bob lost by decision in Philadelphia, but he won the rematch two months later by unanimous decision in the same arena.
Montgomery beat Petey Scalzo by TKO in Philadelphia.
Montgomery lost to Al "Bummy" Davis at Madison Square Garden by KO.
Montgomery was a promoter at the end of his career.
1952- Pinklon Thomas (born in in Pontiac, Michigan)
Retired heavyweight boxer whose trademark pink boxing trunks and a left jab were key distinguishing characteristics.
A native of Pontiac, Michigan who also lived on military bases in South Carolina and Washington state, Thomas eventually settled in Wyncote, Pennsylvania.
Thomas, with a record of 24-0-1, would finally get his World title shot against reigning WBC champion Tim Witherspoon in August 1984, in Las Vegas, NV.
Witherspoon was said to be in constant turmoil with promoter Don King, and Thomas won by majority decision.
As Witherspoon had lost controversially via a razor-thin split decision to IBF champ Larry Holmes the previous year (and Holmes had vacated the WBC title rather than fight Witherspoon again or Greg Page), many saw Thomas as #1 in the world.
In June 1985 Thomas underlined his credentials, fighting an exciting war with ex-champ Mike Weaver, and scoring a dramatic one-punch knockout in the 8th round.
By March 1986 when he signed to defend via wily veteran Trevor Berbick, many wondered whether Thomas was taking the challenge seriously, concentrating as he was on managing other fights and a record career. The powerfully-built Jamaican relieved Thomas of his WBC title, clubbing him to a 12 round unanimous defeat.
Thomas came back and reeled off three kayo wins over journeymen, generally deemed unimpressive by the boxing press, before setting up a May 1987 challenge to WBC and WBA Heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. Although Thomas allegedly took the fight with a serious shoulder injury, he enjoyed success outjabbing Tyson. After a long break for a torn glove, action resumed in the 6th round where Tyson knocked Thomas out with a brutal fifteen punch salvo, knocking the extremely durable Thomas down for the first and last time in his lengthy career. Although he got up inside the count, the fight was waved off.
Thomas would never be in contention for the world title again, taking dangerous fights against top contenders.
In December 1988 he returned from a 19 month layoff to fight #1 Heavyweight contender Evander Holyfield. Thomas looked rusty and past his best as he was outclassed over 7 rounds, after which he was pulled out by his corner. Long-time trainer Angelo Dundee advised Thomas to retire and stopped working with him.
Thomas returned in 1990 to outpoint journeyman Curtis Isaac over 10 rounds, before being outpointed himself by the erratic and extremely awkward Mike "the Bounty" Hunter. A few months later he was beaten up by Riddick Bowe and pulled out after 8 rounds. Bowe would go on to defeat Holyfield and become Undisputed Heavyweight champion of the World.
In February 1991 he took on hard hitting heavyweight Tommy Morrison but was cut and shaken up in the opening round, and pulled out on his stool. Morrison went to win the WBO belt.
Thomas attempted one final comeback in 1992, beating twelve journeymen before outpointing former outstanding amateur Craig Payne to become The First IBO Heavyweight Champion. In his final fight in January 1993 he was upset by journeyman "Poncho" Carter.
He tried comeback in 1999 for a fight with old foe Tim Witherspoon, but could not confirm a fight with Larry Holmes for the winner so chose not to participate.
While Pinklon is still involved in the sport, he has 'changed gears' to a more trainer/counselor standpoint, assisting those pugilists in the 'next generation.'
As of 2004 he was working as a drug counselor at the "Center for Drug Free Living" in Orlando, Florida, with young offenders. Pinklon currently works as an assistant at an alternative school in Orlando, Florida called C.E.P. where he works with juvenile children to help them do better in life.
1958- Gustavo Ballas (born in Villa Maria, Cordoba, Argentina)
http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_ ... &cat=boxer
1959- Sean O’Grady (born in Austin, Texas)
Successful Commercial Realtor in Oklahoma City, and a former Champion Boxer who was born in Austin, Texas. The son of boxing trainer Pat O'Grady and boxing promoter Jean O' Grady, Sean moved around a lot when he was a younger kid, but his family settled in Oklahoma City, when he was 11 years old. In addition to being a world champion, O'Grady is also a college graduate, boxing analyst, television personality, actor and former teen idol across the United States Midwest. In the middle of his boxing career, Sean was popular among teen girls around his area, and it wasn't uncommon to see teenaged females from Oklahoma and its adjacent states wearing Sean O'Grady T-shirts or anything else related to him. He regularly chewed bubble gum upon entering the ring prior to fights, and because of this, he earned the nickname "Bubble Gum Bomber."
O' Grady started boxing professionally in 1975. In 1980, he had his first world title try, when the World Boxing Council Lightweight champion Jim Watt gave him an opportunity to fight for the title. O' Grady travelled to Scotland to fight Watt, but sustained a cut over the forehead due to a head butt late in the bout and lost by a technical knockout in round 12. The O' Gradys protested the fight's result 24 hours later while in Ireland, arguing that the cut had been caused by the headbutt, not a punch. Because of the controversy surrounding the fight, the World Boxing Association Lightweight champion, Hilmer Kenty, gave O'Grady another opportunity at the title. They met on April 12, 1981. O' Grady again suffered a cut early in the bout, but he dropped Kenty in round eight and won a unanimous decision. The fight was one of the ten best fights of 1981 according to Ring Magazine.
In part because of problems with his manager/father, he never defended the WBA title and was eventually stripped of it. Pat O' Grady then formed the little-regarded (and very short lived) World Athletic Association to recognize Sean as a champion. O' Grady promptly lost this "championship" to Andy Ganigan of Hawaii.
O' Grady had a record of 81 wins and 5 losses as a professional boxer, with 70 wins by knockout.
1962- Bobby Czyz (born Robert Edward Czyz in Orange, New Jersey)
etired American boxer. A New Jersey native of mostly Polish and Italian descent, he is both a former world light heavyweight and cruiserweight champion.
Czyz was born in Orange, New Jersey. He lived in Wanaque, New Jersey and attended Lakeland Regional High School.
Nicknamed "Matinee Idol", Czyz was a member of the United States amateur boxing team whose other members died in the LOT Polish Airlines plane crash in Poland in 1980. Because of an auto accident one week before the fatal trip, Czyz was not on the plane.
Czyz had a quick start to his professional boxing career in the early 1980s and he was soon in line for a shot against world middleweight champion Marvin Hagler. He had to start from scratch, however, after suffering a 10-round loss at the hands of veteran Mustafa Hamsho in November 1982.
Czyz went up in weight, put another string of wins together, and in September 1986, he finally found himself in a ring with an undefeated world champion, IBF light heavyweight champion Slobodan Kacar (Olympic Gold medallist of 1980). Czyz beat him in five rounds.
Czyz made three defenses - a one-round defeat of David Sears, a see-saw second-round KO of Willie Edwards, and a fifth-round TKO of Jim McDonald - before taking on 'Prince' Charles Williams in October 1987. Czyz scored an early knockdown of Williams, yet the challenger not only stayed in the fight, but also hammered shut Czyz' left eye on way to scoring a TKO victory and thus seizing the title after eight rounds of boxing.
Czyz then lost a decision to Dennis Andries in May 1988, followed by a couple of victories, in turn followed by two cracks at the world title in 1989. Czyz, despite truly good efforts on his part in both challenges, lost both of them - a 12-round decision to Virgil Hill in North Dakota for the WBA version in March, and a 10th-round TKO loss to Williams in an IBF title rematch in June.
Czyz went on to stop then-undefeated Andrew Maynard in seven rounds (the second undefeated Gold medallist he KO'd) in June 1990, then jumped up to cruiserweight. He challenged Robert Daniels for Daniels' WBA world cruiserweight championship in March 1991, and won a unanimous decision. Two defenses, against Bash Ali and Donny Lalonde, were made (both by unanimous decision) before Czyz vacated the title.
In 1994, Mr. Czyz became a television boxing analyst working alongside Steve Albert and Ferdie Pacheco whilst continuing his boxing career.The trio covered fights in many locations worldwide. In December 1994, he covered the first world title fight ever held in Ecuador as a member of Showtime's crew.
In 1996, he stepped up to the heavyweight division, but lost by knockout in five rounds to Evander Holyfield and quickly retired. Mr. Czyz fought one last time in 1998, losing by second round TKO to South African Corrie Sanders. Mr. Czyz continued doing color commentary for Showtime, but was let go after pleading guilty to his fourth drunken-driving offense in six years after being caught speeding in Readington Township, New Jersey. Czyz's case received a lot of attention as he was a multiple repeat DUI case, and was a driver behind the NJ Assembly revisiting its legislation. Czyz, who was a Raritan Township, New Jersey resident at the time, was given a six-month license suspension for each of his three drunken driving convictions in 1998, 1999 and 2000. It was discovered that he was sentenced improperly as a first-time offender after his fourth arrest, which occurred in February 2003 in Readington Township, where he was caught driving with a blood-alcohol level of 0.14 percent. The state limit at that time was 0.10 percent.
Later he went on to marry Kimberly Ross on October 27, 1992. They then had a daughter, Mercedes Czyz on September 27, 1993.
He has since been inducted into the Polish-American Sports Hall of Fame.
Czyz is a member of Mensa, the organization for people who have scored in the highest 2% of takers in an IQ test. He even wore a shirt with "MENSA" on it while walking to the ring to fight Evander Holyfield.
1987- Devon Alexander (born in St. Louis, Missouri)
Frofessional American boxer. Nicknamed "Alexander the Great," he is the former WBC and IBF Light Welterweight champion.
Alexander grew up in the Hyde Park neighborhood of north St. Louis, in an area described as downtrodden, rough, gang- and drug-infested. Alexander joined the boxing gym that Kevin Cunningham, a former police officer turned trainer, founded in the basement of an old police station.
Thirty kids joined the boxing program of Cunningham, who had hoped to keep the kids out of trouble. A stablemate of Alexander's, Cory Spinks would become welterweight champion but at least eight are dead. A dozen have been arrested, including Alexander's older brother Vaughn, a once promising prospect currently serving an 18-year prison sentence for robbery.
Alexander had an outstanding amateur career, compiling a record of 300-10 under the tutelage of Cunningham. He was a four-time Silver Gloves champion from ages 10–14; three-time PAL national champion; Junior Golden Gloves and Junior Olympics national champion; 2003 United States national champion in the 19-and-under division; and 2004 United States light welterweight national champion. Alexander made it to the final round of the 2004 Olympic trials, where he battled Rock Allen to a draw and was knocked down once before losing on a tie-breaker.
At age 17, Alexander made his professional debut, defeating Vincent Torres by first round technical knockout in Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan. He was victorious in his second pro fight against Karl Hunter before on February 5, 2005, Alexander defeated Donovan Castaneda by unanimous decision in front of 22,370 spectators, the second-largest crowd in history to witness a boxing event in an indoor arena at the Savvis Center in St. Louis, Missouri. Alexander’s mentor, Cory Spinks, headlined the card opposing Zab Judah.
Alexander won his next five fights before on July 8, 2006, at the Savvis Center in St. Louis, Missouri, Alexander defeated Tyler Ziolkowski by first round technical knockout to win the WBC Youth welterweight title, but was himself knocked down once in the fight.
On January 6, 2007, Alexander defeated Maximinio Cuevas by fourth round technical knockout at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. In his next fight, Alexander fought Scott Ball on March 2, 2007, at the Belterra Casino Resort & Spa in Belterra, Indiana. Alexander was down in the second round himself but broke Ball's jaw in round six and dropped him twice in round seven en route to a technical knockout victory.
He won his next two fights against Marcus Luck and Cory Peterson before he went up against former WBO junior welterweight champion DeMarcus Corley on January 19, 2008, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Alexander easily defeated Corley by unanimous decision to claim the vacant WBC Continental Americas junior welterweight title.
On August 1, 2009, Alexander defeated Junior Witter by eighth round due to RTD 8 to claim the vacant WBC light welterweight championship. Witter gave up on his stool claiming that that he had re-injured his left hand. Alexander was hurt by a right hand in round 2, All three judges had Alexander ahead at the time of the stoppage 79-73, 79-73, 80-72.
Alexander was next scheduled to face two-time champion Juan Urango of Colombia in a title unification bout. The 6 March 2010 bout was held at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut and was televised on HBO's "Boxing After Dark" telecast. To train for the fight, Alexander used a Las Vegas house lent by promoter Don King as training base. Devon Alexander defeated Juan Urango by TKO in round 8. Alexander threw an uppercut which dropped Urango. Urango made the count but Alexander resumed his attack and threw a hook to Urango's temple which again dropped him. Urango stood up but was clearly dazed, resulting in a stoppage by the referee. Urango, who suffered his first KO defeat, called out Timothy Bradley after the fight, but a fight was never made because Bradley just moved up to welterweight.
In his next fight he faced Andreas Kotelnik, the former WBA Light Welterweight champion, in his hometown of St. Louis Missouri on 7 August in front of members of the St. Louis Rams, Evander Holyfield and Floyd Mayweather. Alexander won the fight by a controversial unanimous decision with all judges scoring the fight 116-112.
On October 22, 2010, Alexander was stripped of the IBF Junior Welterweight title for not fighting the no. 1 contender, Kaizer Mabuza.
Alexander's next fight, on January 29, 2011, took place against Timothy Bradley, which he lost via 10th round TD after an unintentional head-butt forced a stop to the bout.

1912- Albert "Chalky" Wright (born Albert Garfield Wright in Wilcox, Arizona)
An American who was born in Arizona although many will dispute this. He was a featherweight boxer who fought from 1928 to 1948, and his career record was 160 wins (81 KO), 43 losses and 18 draws.In 2003, Wright made the Ring Magazine's list of 100 greatest punchers of all time.
Wright's family were migrant farm workers,during the depression era.Wright was the Trainer of Lightweight contender Tommy Campbell in 1950.Wright served as a chauffeur and bodyguard for Mae West.
[edit] Professional career
Wright turned professional at the age of 16 and campaigned for many years before getting a crack at the featherweight championship then held by Joey Archibald. On September 11, 1941, Wright dethroned Archibald by scoring a TKO in the eleventh round. Wright successfully defended the title against former champion Harry Jeffra (TKO 10) on June 19, 1942, but lost his title on a decision to the legendary Willie Pep on November 20, 1942. In 1938, Wright also met the great Henry Armstrong, but was knocked out in 3 rounds.
Wright died on August 12, 1957 when he slipped in a bathtub and drowned.
Despite attempts to discredit his heritage, Wright was without a doubt born in the Mexican state of Durango. Although not Mexican ethnically, was he born there. Wright, son of Santiago Wright, was a Black man whose first language was Spanish. Records can be traced to show he lived at one point in Colton, California. He was not born in Durango, Colorado.
Named to The Ring Magazine's 100 Greatest Punchers (2003).
1919- Bob Montgomery (born in Sumter, South Carolina)
An American boxer from Philadelphia. He was born in Sumter, South Carolina.
Montgomery went undefeated in his first 23 fights, going 22-0-1 and winning the Pennsylvania State Lightweight Title.
Montgomery beat Julie Kogon three times. Their first fight was at the Broadway Arena in Brooklyn on January 28, 1941, which Montgomery won by decision. They fought again on October 24 that same year, this time at the Chicago Coliseum, a fight Montgomery again took by decision. The two squared off for the last time on June 2, 1947 in Kogon's hometown at the New Haven Arena, but the result was still the same
Montgomery lost to former lightweight champ Sammy Angott by split decision at Shibe Park on July 7, 1942.
In 1942 Montgomery had two battles with Maxie Shapiro. In the first fight Bob lost by decision in Philadelphia, but he won the rematch two months later by unanimous decision in the same arena.
Montgomery beat Petey Scalzo by TKO in Philadelphia.
Montgomery lost to Al "Bummy" Davis at Madison Square Garden by KO.
Montgomery was a promoter at the end of his career.
1952- Pinklon Thomas (born in in Pontiac, Michigan)
Retired heavyweight boxer whose trademark pink boxing trunks and a left jab were key distinguishing characteristics.
A native of Pontiac, Michigan who also lived on military bases in South Carolina and Washington state, Thomas eventually settled in Wyncote, Pennsylvania.
Thomas, with a record of 24-0-1, would finally get his World title shot against reigning WBC champion Tim Witherspoon in August 1984, in Las Vegas, NV.
Witherspoon was said to be in constant turmoil with promoter Don King, and Thomas won by majority decision.
As Witherspoon had lost controversially via a razor-thin split decision to IBF champ Larry Holmes the previous year (and Holmes had vacated the WBC title rather than fight Witherspoon again or Greg Page), many saw Thomas as #1 in the world.
In June 1985 Thomas underlined his credentials, fighting an exciting war with ex-champ Mike Weaver, and scoring a dramatic one-punch knockout in the 8th round.
By March 1986 when he signed to defend via wily veteran Trevor Berbick, many wondered whether Thomas was taking the challenge seriously, concentrating as he was on managing other fights and a record career. The powerfully-built Jamaican relieved Thomas of his WBC title, clubbing him to a 12 round unanimous defeat.
Thomas came back and reeled off three kayo wins over journeymen, generally deemed unimpressive by the boxing press, before setting up a May 1987 challenge to WBC and WBA Heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. Although Thomas allegedly took the fight with a serious shoulder injury, he enjoyed success outjabbing Tyson. After a long break for a torn glove, action resumed in the 6th round where Tyson knocked Thomas out with a brutal fifteen punch salvo, knocking the extremely durable Thomas down for the first and last time in his lengthy career. Although he got up inside the count, the fight was waved off.
Thomas would never be in contention for the world title again, taking dangerous fights against top contenders.
In December 1988 he returned from a 19 month layoff to fight #1 Heavyweight contender Evander Holyfield. Thomas looked rusty and past his best as he was outclassed over 7 rounds, after which he was pulled out by his corner. Long-time trainer Angelo Dundee advised Thomas to retire and stopped working with him.
Thomas returned in 1990 to outpoint journeyman Curtis Isaac over 10 rounds, before being outpointed himself by the erratic and extremely awkward Mike "the Bounty" Hunter. A few months later he was beaten up by Riddick Bowe and pulled out after 8 rounds. Bowe would go on to defeat Holyfield and become Undisputed Heavyweight champion of the World.
In February 1991 he took on hard hitting heavyweight Tommy Morrison but was cut and shaken up in the opening round, and pulled out on his stool. Morrison went to win the WBO belt.
Thomas attempted one final comeback in 1992, beating twelve journeymen before outpointing former outstanding amateur Craig Payne to become The First IBO Heavyweight Champion. In his final fight in January 1993 he was upset by journeyman "Poncho" Carter.
He tried comeback in 1999 for a fight with old foe Tim Witherspoon, but could not confirm a fight with Larry Holmes for the winner so chose not to participate.
While Pinklon is still involved in the sport, he has 'changed gears' to a more trainer/counselor standpoint, assisting those pugilists in the 'next generation.'
As of 2004 he was working as a drug counselor at the "Center for Drug Free Living" in Orlando, Florida, with young offenders. Pinklon currently works as an assistant at an alternative school in Orlando, Florida called C.E.P. where he works with juvenile children to help them do better in life.
1958- Gustavo Ballas (born in Villa Maria, Cordoba, Argentina)

1959- Sean O’Grady (born in Austin, Texas)
Successful Commercial Realtor in Oklahoma City, and a former Champion Boxer who was born in Austin, Texas. The son of boxing trainer Pat O'Grady and boxing promoter Jean O' Grady, Sean moved around a lot when he was a younger kid, but his family settled in Oklahoma City, when he was 11 years old. In addition to being a world champion, O'Grady is also a college graduate, boxing analyst, television personality, actor and former teen idol across the United States Midwest. In the middle of his boxing career, Sean was popular among teen girls around his area, and it wasn't uncommon to see teenaged females from Oklahoma and its adjacent states wearing Sean O'Grady T-shirts or anything else related to him. He regularly chewed bubble gum upon entering the ring prior to fights, and because of this, he earned the nickname "Bubble Gum Bomber."
O' Grady started boxing professionally in 1975. In 1980, he had his first world title try, when the World Boxing Council Lightweight champion Jim Watt gave him an opportunity to fight for the title. O' Grady travelled to Scotland to fight Watt, but sustained a cut over the forehead due to a head butt late in the bout and lost by a technical knockout in round 12. The O' Gradys protested the fight's result 24 hours later while in Ireland, arguing that the cut had been caused by the headbutt, not a punch. Because of the controversy surrounding the fight, the World Boxing Association Lightweight champion, Hilmer Kenty, gave O'Grady another opportunity at the title. They met on April 12, 1981. O' Grady again suffered a cut early in the bout, but he dropped Kenty in round eight and won a unanimous decision. The fight was one of the ten best fights of 1981 according to Ring Magazine.
In part because of problems with his manager/father, he never defended the WBA title and was eventually stripped of it. Pat O' Grady then formed the little-regarded (and very short lived) World Athletic Association to recognize Sean as a champion. O' Grady promptly lost this "championship" to Andy Ganigan of Hawaii.
O' Grady had a record of 81 wins and 5 losses as a professional boxer, with 70 wins by knockout.
1962- Bobby Czyz (born Robert Edward Czyz in Orange, New Jersey)
etired American boxer. A New Jersey native of mostly Polish and Italian descent, he is both a former world light heavyweight and cruiserweight champion.
Czyz was born in Orange, New Jersey. He lived in Wanaque, New Jersey and attended Lakeland Regional High School.
Nicknamed "Matinee Idol", Czyz was a member of the United States amateur boxing team whose other members died in the LOT Polish Airlines plane crash in Poland in 1980. Because of an auto accident one week before the fatal trip, Czyz was not on the plane.
Czyz had a quick start to his professional boxing career in the early 1980s and he was soon in line for a shot against world middleweight champion Marvin Hagler. He had to start from scratch, however, after suffering a 10-round loss at the hands of veteran Mustafa Hamsho in November 1982.
Czyz went up in weight, put another string of wins together, and in September 1986, he finally found himself in a ring with an undefeated world champion, IBF light heavyweight champion Slobodan Kacar (Olympic Gold medallist of 1980). Czyz beat him in five rounds.
Czyz made three defenses - a one-round defeat of David Sears, a see-saw second-round KO of Willie Edwards, and a fifth-round TKO of Jim McDonald - before taking on 'Prince' Charles Williams in October 1987. Czyz scored an early knockdown of Williams, yet the challenger not only stayed in the fight, but also hammered shut Czyz' left eye on way to scoring a TKO victory and thus seizing the title after eight rounds of boxing.
Czyz then lost a decision to Dennis Andries in May 1988, followed by a couple of victories, in turn followed by two cracks at the world title in 1989. Czyz, despite truly good efforts on his part in both challenges, lost both of them - a 12-round decision to Virgil Hill in North Dakota for the WBA version in March, and a 10th-round TKO loss to Williams in an IBF title rematch in June.
Czyz went on to stop then-undefeated Andrew Maynard in seven rounds (the second undefeated Gold medallist he KO'd) in June 1990, then jumped up to cruiserweight. He challenged Robert Daniels for Daniels' WBA world cruiserweight championship in March 1991, and won a unanimous decision. Two defenses, against Bash Ali and Donny Lalonde, were made (both by unanimous decision) before Czyz vacated the title.
In 1994, Mr. Czyz became a television boxing analyst working alongside Steve Albert and Ferdie Pacheco whilst continuing his boxing career.The trio covered fights in many locations worldwide. In December 1994, he covered the first world title fight ever held in Ecuador as a member of Showtime's crew.
In 1996, he stepped up to the heavyweight division, but lost by knockout in five rounds to Evander Holyfield and quickly retired. Mr. Czyz fought one last time in 1998, losing by second round TKO to South African Corrie Sanders. Mr. Czyz continued doing color commentary for Showtime, but was let go after pleading guilty to his fourth drunken-driving offense in six years after being caught speeding in Readington Township, New Jersey. Czyz's case received a lot of attention as he was a multiple repeat DUI case, and was a driver behind the NJ Assembly revisiting its legislation. Czyz, who was a Raritan Township, New Jersey resident at the time, was given a six-month license suspension for each of his three drunken driving convictions in 1998, 1999 and 2000. It was discovered that he was sentenced improperly as a first-time offender after his fourth arrest, which occurred in February 2003 in Readington Township, where he was caught driving with a blood-alcohol level of 0.14 percent. The state limit at that time was 0.10 percent.
Later he went on to marry Kimberly Ross on October 27, 1992. They then had a daughter, Mercedes Czyz on September 27, 1993.
He has since been inducted into the Polish-American Sports Hall of Fame.
Czyz is a member of Mensa, the organization for people who have scored in the highest 2% of takers in an IQ test. He even wore a shirt with "MENSA" on it while walking to the ring to fight Evander Holyfield.
1987- Devon Alexander (born in St. Louis, Missouri)
Frofessional American boxer. Nicknamed "Alexander the Great," he is the former WBC and IBF Light Welterweight champion.
Alexander grew up in the Hyde Park neighborhood of north St. Louis, in an area described as downtrodden, rough, gang- and drug-infested. Alexander joined the boxing gym that Kevin Cunningham, a former police officer turned trainer, founded in the basement of an old police station.
Thirty kids joined the boxing program of Cunningham, who had hoped to keep the kids out of trouble. A stablemate of Alexander's, Cory Spinks would become welterweight champion but at least eight are dead. A dozen have been arrested, including Alexander's older brother Vaughn, a once promising prospect currently serving an 18-year prison sentence for robbery.
Alexander had an outstanding amateur career, compiling a record of 300-10 under the tutelage of Cunningham. He was a four-time Silver Gloves champion from ages 10–14; three-time PAL national champion; Junior Golden Gloves and Junior Olympics national champion; 2003 United States national champion in the 19-and-under division; and 2004 United States light welterweight national champion. Alexander made it to the final round of the 2004 Olympic trials, where he battled Rock Allen to a draw and was knocked down once before losing on a tie-breaker.
At age 17, Alexander made his professional debut, defeating Vincent Torres by first round technical knockout in Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan. He was victorious in his second pro fight against Karl Hunter before on February 5, 2005, Alexander defeated Donovan Castaneda by unanimous decision in front of 22,370 spectators, the second-largest crowd in history to witness a boxing event in an indoor arena at the Savvis Center in St. Louis, Missouri. Alexander’s mentor, Cory Spinks, headlined the card opposing Zab Judah.
Alexander won his next five fights before on July 8, 2006, at the Savvis Center in St. Louis, Missouri, Alexander defeated Tyler Ziolkowski by first round technical knockout to win the WBC Youth welterweight title, but was himself knocked down once in the fight.
On January 6, 2007, Alexander defeated Maximinio Cuevas by fourth round technical knockout at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. In his next fight, Alexander fought Scott Ball on March 2, 2007, at the Belterra Casino Resort & Spa in Belterra, Indiana. Alexander was down in the second round himself but broke Ball's jaw in round six and dropped him twice in round seven en route to a technical knockout victory.
He won his next two fights against Marcus Luck and Cory Peterson before he went up against former WBO junior welterweight champion DeMarcus Corley on January 19, 2008, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Alexander easily defeated Corley by unanimous decision to claim the vacant WBC Continental Americas junior welterweight title.
On August 1, 2009, Alexander defeated Junior Witter by eighth round due to RTD 8 to claim the vacant WBC light welterweight championship. Witter gave up on his stool claiming that that he had re-injured his left hand. Alexander was hurt by a right hand in round 2, All three judges had Alexander ahead at the time of the stoppage 79-73, 79-73, 80-72.
Alexander was next scheduled to face two-time champion Juan Urango of Colombia in a title unification bout. The 6 March 2010 bout was held at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut and was televised on HBO's "Boxing After Dark" telecast. To train for the fight, Alexander used a Las Vegas house lent by promoter Don King as training base. Devon Alexander defeated Juan Urango by TKO in round 8. Alexander threw an uppercut which dropped Urango. Urango made the count but Alexander resumed his attack and threw a hook to Urango's temple which again dropped him. Urango stood up but was clearly dazed, resulting in a stoppage by the referee. Urango, who suffered his first KO defeat, called out Timothy Bradley after the fight, but a fight was never made because Bradley just moved up to welterweight.
In his next fight he faced Andreas Kotelnik, the former WBA Light Welterweight champion, in his hometown of St. Louis Missouri on 7 August in front of members of the St. Louis Rams, Evander Holyfield and Floyd Mayweather. Alexander won the fight by a controversial unanimous decision with all judges scoring the fight 116-112.
On October 22, 2010, Alexander was stripped of the IBF Junior Welterweight title for not fighting the no. 1 contender, Kaizer Mabuza.
Alexander's next fight, on January 29, 2011, took place against Timothy Bradley, which he lost via 10th round TD after an unintentional head-butt forced a stop to the bout.

February 10, 1952-
Lille, Nord, France-
In their fourth and final meeting, Jacques Royer-Crecy regained the French middleweight title by outpointing Jean Stock over 15 rounds.
Stock, the reigning French champ, won a non-title 10-rounder on points over Royer-Crecy in 1949. Royer-Crecy avenged that loss by knocking Stock out in 8 rounds to win the French title in 1950. Later that year, in his first title defense. Royer-Crecy lost an upset decision to Kid Marcel.
In early 1951, Stock halted Royer-Crecy in 11 to earn a shot at Marcel and stopped Marcel in 11 four months later to win back the belt. That set the stage for their eventual fourth showdown between Stock and Royer-Crecy.

1992- Mike Tyson, 25, is convicted of rape in the Marion County (Indiana) Supreme Court. Mike would subsequently serve 3-years of a 6-year hitch.
I was devastated by Tyson's conviction as a teen. He was among my favorite atheltes and he really drove the sport of boxing. Now, as an adult, I marvel at how I looked up to such a flawed and imperfect man. He absolutlely was a criminal, a rapist. I feel badly how I berated Desiree Washington and defended Iron Mike in those days. Kids really do pick a lot of lousy role models.

Re: FEBRUARY 10TH
SIXTY YEARS AGO:
February 10, 1956-
Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina-
World flyweight champion Pascual Perez improved to 30-0-1 by winning a 10-round, non-title bout on points over fellow Argentinian Antonio Gomez. Gomez shocked the crowd by flooring the 1948 Olympic Gold Medalist and future Hall of Famer (IBHOF, WBHF) in the second round.
New York, New York-
A lackluster 10-round bout between world-ranked welterweight contenders Isaac Logart of New York via Cuba and Ramon Fuentes of Los Angeles resulted in a split decision win for Logart (41-5-5). Fuentes slipped to 35-7-1.
On the undercard, future World Boxing Hall of Fame inductee Gaspar Ortega upped his record to 35-4-1 by outpointing Tex Gonzalez (20-5-1) over six rounds. This was the third time Ortega and Gonzalez had fought each other. Gonzalez won the first; Ortega the second. By winning the rubber match, Ortega earned a bout against the Logart-Fuentes winner to be held on March 16, 1956.
Logart would win that fight (UD 10) but would lose to Ortega the next two times they fought (by MD 10 on October 17, 1956 and by SD 12 on May 10, 1957). He did even the score by winning a 12-round, split decision over Ortega in a world welterweight title eliminator on December 6, 1957.
