Boxing News: Bell dominant in Toledo » August 3, 2023 – Fight News
Photos and Ringside Report by Bob Ryder
Albert “Prince” Bell scored a comprehensive win over Nicolas Polanco in the headline event of promoter Vick Green’s (Pulse Boxing) show at downtown Toledo’s Huntington Center Saturday night. In the process, Bell captured the vacant WBO/NABO super featherweight belt by scores of 100-90 x 2 and 99-91.
Bell excited his hometown fans by dominating the contest despite Polanco’s never give up attitude and aggressive attack. Early rounds showcased Bell’s amazing ability to glide around the ring with excellent defense and footwork combined with a pesky offense although Polanco did manage to clip him along the ropes with a good shot in the second round which Bell handled with ease. Polanco never stopped trying to get into a slugging match but Bell thwarted him repeatedly, deftly moving out of the way as most of Polanco’s punches sailed harmlessly through the air, a pattern that continued for the entire fight. Bell landed a sweeping hard hook in the ninth but Polanco who came to win rode it out. Polanco took some good shots from Bell at the start of the tenth and final round but Bell was unable to do any real damage. Bell’s lack of a big punch is perhaps the one element holding him back from the next level but his boxing skills and ring generalship are superb. With the win Bell moves to (22-0, 6 KOs) while the Dominican Republic’s gutsy Polanco declines to (20-3-1, 11 KOs).
In one of the eight round supporting fights, Cleveland’s Thomas Mattice pounded out Orlando’s (by way of Brazil) Eduardo Pereira Dos Reis in their super featherweight match. Mattice had way too much for Dos Reis controlling the action with hard jabs. Mattice opened up in the fourth round scoring a hard knockdown just as the round ended. Dos Reis gave a good effort in hanging in there through the fifth round but suffered two knockdowns in the sixth with referee James Easter halting the contest at 2:14 after his second trip to the contest. Mattice advances to (19-3-1, 15 KOs), Dos Reis now stands at (24-10, 19 KOs). The less said about the other scheduled eight round match up the better. In a tedious heavyweight contest Cleveland’s Roney Hines improved his record to (12-0, 8 KOs) over Detroit’s Craig Lewis (14-6-1 8 KOs) by way of disqualification at :40 of round five. Very little action or clean punching in this fight and as Lewis tired, retaining his mouthpiece became an issue. Referee Lonnie Scott twice had to deduct a point from Lewis in third for having his mouth guard hit the canvas as the crowd booed its displeasure of the Motor City fighter. After Lewis lost his gum shield again in the fifth round (fifth time in the match) referee Scott immediately waived it off to the general relief of those in the arena.
Toledo’s super middleweight Antwan Jones remained perfect at (11-0, 5 KOs) as he bested Argentina’s Victor Hugo Exner (8-11-1, 2 KOs) over the six round distance by scores of 60-54 x 2 and 59-55. Exner was game but too slow to deal with Jones. Exner kept wading in and did land some hard punches in the third round but not nearly enough to turn the tide in his favor. Two other six round bouts were also on the show. Hometown welterweight Angelo Snow got a much needed win over Argentina’s Lucas Andres Dadamo. Snow exhibited power in blasting his rival to the mat twice in the third round with the Argentine’s corner imploring him to stay down on the second knockdown which Exner complied to be counted out at 1:40 by referee Scott. Snow improves to (8-4, 5 KOs) with the victory, Exner drops to (8-11-1, 2 KOs). Featherweight Javon Campbell now fighting as Javon Woodard Jr utilized a solid body attack to best Nicaragua’s Manuel Guzman over the distance with scores of 59-55 x 3. Campbell-Woodard who hails from Raleigh, NC stands at (10-1, 8 KOs). Guzman now (8-7-1, 5 KOs).
Two four round bouts opened the night. Pontiac, Michigan’s featherweight Cameran Pankey (5-0, 3 KOs) bested St. Louis native Printice Canada ( 3-7-1, 2 KOs) over the scheduled distance by scores of 40-36 x 3. The first bout of the evening was also a shut out (40-36 x 3) for David Craddock of Columbus who goes up to (3-0, 1 KO) over pro debuting Ishmael Dixon of Benton Harbor in a matchup of super lightweights.

Why isnt this garbage on TV anywhere??
It’s on ESPN+
de Oliveira was embarrassing. Just stood there smiling and waiting to be hit. The ref literally had to tell him to fight back in round 1.
As boxing fans we’re all used to shocking mismatches… but ESPN take it to a new level.
I will keep an eye on Mason and see what develops for him.

Boxing News: Mayweather vs. Gotti June 11 » September 25, 2023 – Fight News
Boxing Hall of Famer and undefeated legend Floyd “Money” Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) will hold a press conference this week to announce his latest exhibition fight as he prepares to take on professional boxer and mixed martial artist John Gotti III (2-0, 1 KO), the grandson of famous mob boss John Gotti.
This showdown will headline “Last Names Matter” taking place Sunday, June 11 from FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida in an event that will also feature musical performances from Ozuna and more. The event is dedicated to the loving memory of Marikit “Kitchie” Laurico, Mayweather’s longtime assistant who passed away suddenly in April.
Come on mayweather fight a tougher dude than that. Maybe Rosie O’Donnell.
In June 2005 it was Mayweather vs Gatti! Maybe this one will be more competitive! LOL! Loved Gatti but Mayweather was all wrong for him! Gotti best not look at the ref in the first round!!!
He’s retired, he can fight whomever he pleases. His days of proving himself are over. 50-0 against HOFers and world champions.
Wait, that can’t be the same son that took over The Gambino family when John Gotti went to prison. That guy has got to be 55 years old and was a fat fuck that didn’t look like he worked out a day in his life. John Gotti III has to be his son? Regardless, never heard of him and this is going to be a ridiculous fight.
Gotti III is not junior. He is one of Junior’s sons. I said one. JG3’s brother (Charles) is a made guy, and from what I believe, could be doing time as I type. JG3 wanted to live a normal life. That took great courage. I have nothing but love & respect for JG3.
May might need to take a dive with this one 🙂
John Gotti is 5-1 as an MMA fighter and thank God this is an exhibition boxing match because if it was an MMA fight, Mayweather would get pummelled…
Boxing or MMA, Gotti III would get whacked by Money Mayweather. Even at this point.
Damn straight.
We need to hear what Lucy, the resident boxing expert thinks about this.
“We need to hear what Lucy, the resident boxing expert thinks about this.”
– It’s Lucie, not Lucy.
– Lucie knows boxing, and backs up a lot of posts w/BoxRec stats and facts.
– Seriously??
– April Fools on 4/26??
Best outcome would be a bomb falling on the stadium.
Geez this clown at it again?!
Get a life now little Floyd! Find a hobby or just take a walk now on a short pier..
Most OVERRATED fighter ever little Floyd Mayweather. At least his uncle Roger had balls with a wicked right hand.
I’m not really sure how mayweather can convince himself that people aren’t laughing at him these days. That last event in Britain was virtually empty and who would actually pay to go see something like this. If Floyd wants attention like this why not go back to WWE and be an entertainment feature there?
John Gotti III by ko
“John Gotti III by ko”
– John Gotti III by assassination…..
It’s an exhibition folks, Floyd has already earned his stripes years ago calm down. He can fight whomever he wants. Stop whining and don’t watch if you’re not interested. I guess the appeal is fighting John Gotti’s grandson and the mob possibly telling Floyd to sit down or lay down. A smart selection that his previous fight. We all know John Gotti but the last dude I had no idea who he was. Lets see if more than 50 people show up this time.
this is true??? ahhhh
Let me explain how this work. Gotti’s family is still in the mob. Gotti III elected to live and lead a clean life.
John Gotti III is one of Junior’s kids. JG3’s brother (Charles) is in the mob, and from what I understand, is doing time. TIME. Something Delaware Joe needs to start doing. Anyhow, let’s get back to Gotti III.
The very fact he is out of the mob makes him a real winner in my eyes. I wish him all the best.
John Jr. & Kimberly have 6 kids.
They are Charles Herbert Gotti (mob), Frankie, Gianna, Angel, Nicolette and John III.
John III, of course, is Mayweather’s opponent.
WHO cares!!!
I wonder if Gotti makes Floyd an offer he can’t refuse…
