– Thank you (again), Amazon Fire Stick.
LOL, love the humor…
Come on Gary. How come you never help out the fans? Always bragging!! Times are tight, help a brother out
Gary, are you breaking out of jail?
So you’re telling me that the G. W. O. A. T., Clarissa Shields will be on ESPN+, not PPV? What an honor and a privelige for us boxing fans. Certainly will be the fight of the night, if not the fight of the year being that the G. W. O. A. T. is involved…

By Brad Snyder at ringside
In a lightweight special feature, 19-year-old southpaw Abdullah Mason (9-0, 8 KOs) impressively knocked out Alex de Oliveira (20-5, 14 KOs) in the second round. Time was 2:18.
Unbeaten junior wlterweight Tiger Johnson (9-0, 5 KOs) defeated Jonathan Montrel (15-2, 10 KOs) by UD (80-72, 80-72, 80-72) over eight rounds.
Dante Benjamin Jr. (7-0, 5 KOs) exploded out of the gate to score a knockdown, then get a stoppage right after his opponent, Mirady Zola got up.  The light heavyweight contest ended with the TKO at the 1:56 mark of the first round.  The loss drops Zola to (4-3, 1 KO).
Super middleweight DeAndre Ware (16-4-2, 9 KOs) won by six round unanimous decision (58-56, 59-55, 59-55) over Decarlo Perez (19-9-1, 6 KOs).
Rance Ward touched leather to the face of fellow junior middleweight Husam Al Mashhadi, often, over six rounds. Ward appeared fresh and was able to walk Mashhadi down during the six rounds to take the majority decision (57-57, 58-56, 59-55) victory and improve to (8-5-1, 2 KOs). Meanwhile, it’s back to the drawing board for Mashhadi (6-1, 6 KOs), who suffered his first loss.
Junior Middleweight Nicklaus Flaz (11-2, 7 KOs) won a close fight by majority decision (76-76, 78-74, 77-75) over previously unbeaten Jahi Tucker (10-1, 5 KOs). The fight, which went all eight rounds, had moments where both fighters showed some ability to throw combinations.
Junior Lightweight Tyler McCreary (18-2-1, 8KOs) got the hometown crowd excited by landing strong left hooks to the body, left hooks to the head, and a strong right cross to his opponent, Deivi Julio (26-14, 16 KOs). Julio, who fought hard, did not have enough to sway the judges. The judges all saw the fight in favor of McCreary (59-54, 57-56, 57-56).
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

Published

on





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…
