Charlotte Boxers edging toward Olympics

FROM: WANDA GODDARD,




CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Three Charlotte boxers moved further up the ladder toward the Olympics by winning crowns in the just concluded North Carolina State Boxing Championships in a sold out Armory in Lumberton.




Very impressive was Michael Basaldua (Basaldua) of the Charlotte Boxing Academy who blasted past tough Noel Echevarria of Winston Salem in the 132 pound Open class. Basalduea was the most impressive boxer there after beating a highly vaunted Marine the night before.



Willie Jones of Charlotte edged out Hasan Young, another outstanding CBA boxer who recently moved here from Philadephia, to win the 141 pound class in a terrific match that saw action from start to finish.



Aishling Holt of Charlotte won the 125 pound open female championship.



Basalduea, Jones, Holt and Young are all now entered in the North Carolina Golden Gloves March. 4-5 here. If they win here they will be eligible to start their climb toward being eligible for the 2012 London Olympics. Women can compete for the first time in London.



"Despite the resurgence of amateur boxing which has greatly increased the numbers of participants I believe that North Carolina has a chance to have at least one person on the USA Olympic team. Several of our better amateurs will have another chance to qualify at our Golden Gloves here," H.A. (Humpy) Wheeler, chairman of the Charlotte Boxing Academy, said.

Fighters: Learn how to sell your fights! Part 1

Fighters: Learn how to sell your fights! Part 1


By Robert Elmore: I can sit all day and night and talk about how boxing is dying and promoters are ruining the sport. But I won’t. I still watch boxing to this day and try to check out the new prospects when I get a chance. There are two major reasons why some have lost interest in boxing. One, half of the champions are not Americans; which I will touch more on in part two. And two and this is a big one to me; the fighters don’t know how to market themselves to get big fights and pay days.


Jack Johnson was a very flamboyant man whose lifestyle, cockiness, and dating white women made him a marked man. He lived in an era where black men were not allowed to fight for the title and he longed for a shot. So what did he do? He put together a two year campaign to fight with champion Tommy Burns. For two years, Johnson chased Burns and taunted him until finally the Canadian gave in. The end result: The fight drew 20,000 spectators, and Johnson won by T.K.O. Now Johnson had a fire blazing. He didn’t have to market himself anymore. He got the public to do it for him. After this fight, promoters began looking for the great white hope to take Johnson down. It would take seven years before that great white hope ended a seven year reign. What probably threw more logs on the fire was the fact that Johnson refused to face other black fighters. He didn’t want them stealing his glory. Each bout drew fans wanting to see him lose. Some wanted to see him lose because of his lifestyle outside the ring and other half wanted to see him lose because of his skill inside the ring. Either way, his fights sold.

Posted in The MMA Diet



I’m asked on a continual basis one of the following generic questions: What’s the best thing I can do to lose weight? How can I burn fat? I want to put on a little bit of muscle, how do I do that?


Shortly following my first question (what do you eat?) I’ve realized that my FIRST suggestion is almost always the same…eat more protein.

Protein is the Answer

For all those questions above, the answer could easily be to just consume more protein. Sure it’s slightly more complicated than that, but if there was only one thing I could suggest to everyone who asks me those questions…that would be my response....

Holyfield vs Williams

Holyfield-Williams no decision

By Brady Crytzer at ringside

Legendary heavyweight world champion Evander “The Real Deal” Holyfield (43-10-2, 28 KOs) and Sherman “Tank” Williams (34-11, 19 KOs) ended in a three round no-contest on Saturday night at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. The 48-year-old Holyfield was cut over the left eye in round two by an unintentional headbutt and rocked by a Williams right hand in round three. After the round Evander said he couldn’t see and the bout was declared a no contest. The cut could very well jeopardize Evander’s scheduled March 5 fight against Brian Nielsen in Copenhagen, Denmark.

In the co-feature, former heavyweight title challenger Kevin “Kingpin” Johnson (24-1-1, 10 KOs), who took the bout on short notice, won an eight round unanimous decision over 300lb, seven-footer Julius Long (15-15, 13 KOs). Johnson dropped Long twice in round eight. Scores were 79-71 on all cards.

Former heavyweight title challenger Monte Barrett (34-9-2, 20 KOs) and journeyman Charles Davis (19-21-3, 4 KOs) fought to an eight round majority draw. Scores were 77-75 Davis, 76-76, 76-76.

In an impressive display of brute power Cedric “The Boz” Boswell (32-1, 25 KOs) continued to roll stopping Dominique “Diamond” Alexander (19-10, 9 KOs) in the second round after knocking down his opponent three times with hard left hooks to the body.

Middleweight Willie Fortune (10-0, 5 KOs) won an eight round split decision over Donatas Bondoravas (10-2-1, 3 KOs). Scores were 77-75, 77-75 for Fortune, 77-75 Bondoravas. Fortune was almost stopped midway through the fight, but recovered well..

Unbeaten middleweight Domonique Dolton (10-0, 7 KOs) took a one-sided eight round unanimous decision over veteran Marcos Primera (20-23-2, 13 KOs). Scores were 80-72 on all cards.

Junior welterweight Miguel Gonzalez (13-2, 12 KOs) scored a third round KO over Ramon Guevara (9-21-2, 6 KOs). The bout was stopped due to the three knockdown rule.
