Ultimate Heavyweight Boxing

[PilotMan]

Welcome to Ultimate Heavyweight Boxing!

Using OOTP's Title Bout Championship Boxing, I have taken all the heavyweight fighters and will be drawing them at random into my fictional universe. Like a young boxing federation starting out our size will be small, and gradually grow. The pool is 766 fighters big. So there will be some (many) fighters that noone has heard of. We will be crowning the UHB title. Fighters will age according to this model.

# of Fights Career Age
1-10 Begining
11-20 Pre-Prime
21-30 Prime
31-40 Post-Prime
41-50 End

Rules
No 3 Knockdown
No Standing 8
Can be saved by bell in any round
Only ref can stop the fight
Three Judges score the bout
10-pt must system

To keep things simple refs, trainers, cutmen, venues, and judges will be selected at random. Judges will keep their individual bias'.

Fights will be more or less at random, until I can get some feel for the way things are going, then I will add in some hand picked matches.

Fighters will retire automaticall after 50 fights. Fighters will also retire after 5 consecutive losses. New fighters will be added whenever I feel like it. They will be selected purely at random.

Frazier was well on his way to another workhorse like fight, but nobody ever accused him of having a good chin.

Al Reich wins the tournament.

Marvis Frazier by split decision.

I had Frazier winning 6, with the knockdowns a wash. This was a good match for Hawkins though, against a fighter who just fought for the title.

[PilotMan]

Jack Munroe 2-2-0 (1) v. Rudi Wagener 0-2-0

Both fighters enter the ring in good shape.

Round 1: Munroe goes down for an 8 count, again for a 4 count and again and .. out!

Your winner at 2:58 of round 1, by knockout, Rudi Wagener.

Comp U Box
Munroe 5/20
Wagener (forgot)

A good ol' fashioned ass whipping by a figher who needed a win. He has the power to be dangerous, but if you can outlast him he will tire quickly. As far as Munroe is concerned he should really get his head examined.

[PilotMan]

Comp U Box
Bertazzolo 168/439
Gitlitz 114/159

Bertazzolo was ahead on all 3 judges' scorecards.

Is Gitlitz ready for boxing at any level. He showed to be an accurate puncher, and has some heart, however, his chin is glass. Bertazzolo could contend for the title.

[PilotMan]

Paul Cavalier by unanimous decision.

Cavalier dominates with better accuracy and more work. Landing twice as many punches as Stander. Stander shows how wild he is, but he never gave up. Maybe he should have.

Neither fighter was particularly good, but they were not bad either. Sam certainly won the fight, but who knows how he would have rebounded from that knockdown?

Al Reich 4-0-0 (1) v. Ed Mahone 1-2-0 (1)

Both fighters enter the ring in good shape.

Round 1: Reich
Round 2: Reich
Round 3: Reich
Round 4: Mahone is KO'ed!

Winner, by KO, at 1:51 of the 4th round, Al Reich.

Comp U Box
Reich 114/159
Mahone 38/200

Reich was ahead on all 3 judges' scorecards.

This was not a title fight as Mahone is not worthy of such things yet. Mahone looked terrible. His chin is again in question, and his overall ability is in question. Reich continues unbeaten.

[PilotMan]

As with any new promotion you really don't know what you have in the begining. You kind of need to throw everyone together in a battle royale and see who comes out on top. I like tournaments because you can get many fights scheduled for the fighters and you can weed out some of the talent. The downside is that your good fighters ineveitably end up fighting early on and you really never end up with that 48-0 fighter.

Aside from random scheduling, tournaments seem to be the best option until the group gets a little larger and settled out. Fighters are not ranked until after their 10th fight so no sense in looking at that just yet. I have a feeling that there may be some fresh blood in the future.

I have an 8-man single elimination tournament scheduled next.

[PilotMan]

Rudi Wagener 1-2-0 (1) v. Ed Mahone 1-3-0 (1)

In a rematch of their first fight where Mahone cleaned Wageners clock with one punch. Neither fighter has really done anything since and don't look like they are going for the title any time soon.

Rumor had it Wagener partied too hard and forgot to train, Mahone looks good.

Round 1: Wagener goes down for a 9 count. Mahone
Round 2: Wagener
Round 3: Wagener is tired. Mahone

Ed Mahone by majority decision

You would think that your opponent takes you lightly, he tires by the 3rd round, and you put him down 3 times, that you would do better than a majority decision. I think that if Wagener actually trained he would have won this one.

[PilotMan]

Ralph Ficucello 0-1-0 v. Riccardo Bertazzolo 3-2-0 (2)

Pretty sad for a slugger like Sam to not do anything against a winless fighter with a suspect chin, who cam in out of shape. Hawkins is a game fighter who met Sam punch for punch.

Both fighters enter the ring in good shape.

Round 1: Hawkins

The winner, by knockout, at 1:01 of the 4th round is Sinan Samil Sam!

Comp U Box
Sam 76/309
Hawkins 56/90

Sam was ahead on 2 of 3 scorecards.

Hawkins' chin lets him down again. Sam was throwing tons of punches and really dominating the ring action. Hawkins was landing while he was throwing, which wasn't very often.

[PilotMan]

Paul Cavalier 1-0-0 v. Ron Stander 1-3-0 (1)

This is a rematch of Cavalier's debut. He was able to dominate Stander then and his trainer is confident he will do it again.

Paul Cavalier is in good shape, while 'The Butcher' failed to train really at all.

Round 1: Cavailier

Ficucello was ahead on all 3 scorecards.

I thought for a minute that Ed Mahone was going to make a run for it, but instead is knocked out for the third time. Ficucello is on to the finals of the tournament.

I had Sam winning this fight as well, but still felt like it was a big upset. Cavalier certainly had not been tested in his previous fights and Sam was no world beater against Long Tom Hawkins. Makes for a good final.

Sinan Samil Sam 3-0-1 (1) v. Ralph Ficucello 2-1-0 (1)

This was the worst beat-down in the history of UHB. Sam was completely unrecognizable after this fight, his face in shreds. Ficucello never let up, a continuous barrage of punches that no fighter has shown to this point. Who would have thought that Ficucello had that much power?

[PilotMan]

*************News Flash**************

Bruce Seldon is scheduled to make his UHB debut against Ron Stander. This is an important fight for both fighters. Seldon wants to make a great start, and Stander is fighting for his career. If he loses this one, he will retire.

Another fighter is also fighting for his career. Long Tom Hawkins, who has yet to win his first fight, will fight Ed Mahone. Neither fighter is doing well, although both have shown potential. Hawkins trainer has picked this fight carefully.

Also on the card are sluggers Rudi Wagener and Riccardo Bertazzolo. Don't plan for this one to go the distance. Sinan Samil Sam against Murray Gitlitz. Sam is still trying to get his self respect off the floor and Gitlitz would like to earn some after his 1st round KO in his debut. Ralph Ficucello and Paul Cavalier in a battle of up and coming stars. Finally, Marvis Frazier, the quick, and crafty boxer will take on Jack Munroe, who is still trying to make a name for himself in the UHB.

Well Stander did put on a good fight. He outworked Seldon, and by my record had at least earned a draw. But it was not to be. Bruce Seldon did not look dominating, considering he was fighting one of the lowest rated fighters in the UHB. His future is a little murky.

How many times are we going to see this with Rudi Wagener? He was totally dominating the fight and then BAM! he's gone. He was well on his way to steamrolling Bertazzolo. Now Bertazzolo adds a 3rd KO to his record. He could be a good fighter, or maybe not. We will see.

Sam gets a comfortable win. A couple of knockdowns and he was never really tested. Gitliltz was landing when he was throwing, which wasn't often enough. He needs to be more aggressive.

An inspiring fight from Ralph, as he was cut severly around his left eye, and was lucky the ref didn't stop the fight. Next he was able to floor Paul Cavalier 2 times. Cavalier showed good poise by hanging in there and winning early and not giving up after the knockdowns and taking the last 2 rounds. I am sure that these two will meet again.

Frazier landed a ridiculous percentage of punches thrown. He is easily the most accurate puncher in all of the UHB. Jack Munroe could do nothing against the crafty boxer. I don't think he hit him with one solid punch the entire fight.

Comp U Box
Mahone 66/158

Hawkins was leading on all 3 cards.

What can I really say? Hawkins was doing exactly what he needed to do. He was executing his gameplan perfectly. Unfortunately he forgot that Ed "The Hammer" Mahone can hit like a ton of bricks. Mahone was going to lose this one, no doubt about it, but like other fights he pulled it out with the big punch and big round.

*******************News Flash*******************

Today at press conference fighters Ron "The Butcher" Stander and Long Tom Hawkins announced their retirements from the Ultimate Heavyweight Boxing federation. Both fighters addmitted that they regretted doing so, but felt that their health was more important. Commish PilotMan added that "the way these two were fighting one of them was going to get hurt seriously. Neither looks to have a bright future in boxing and we reccomended that they find another carrer."

We are pleased to announce that we have signed 3 new fighters to the UHB. First, we have signed Jorge Brescia, a right handed, slugger from Argentina. The second new fighter is Alex "The Destroyer" Stewart, a right handed, slugger from the United Kingdom. And the last is Jack Gardner, another right handed, slugger, from the UK.

We are pleased that these fighters have chosen to start their careers here and look forward to seeing them in the ring soon.

Another easy win against a lesser opponent for Frazier. He is a true boxer --> too afraid to get clobbered. Not a great debut for Jorge. He didn't hurt Frazier one time, which is too bad, since Frazier doesn't have the best chin. A tough opponent for the first fight.

A tough debut for Alex Stewart. Ficucello is a game fighter who has had some very good fights. I had Stewart by 1, if Ficucello could have pulled out that last round he would have gotten a draw, but it was not to be. I really thought that this one was not going to go the distance.

This goes down as an upset in my book. Wagener, to this point should not be in the same league as Paul Cavalier. Cavalier in his own right has now lost 2 straight fights. Things were going all his way in the begining, Wagener fought hard and deserves the win.

Alex Stewart by unanimous decision.

Personally I was a little dissapointed with this one. Alex Stewart has made a fantastic start in the UHB. He has shown some power and the ability to effectively stop a boxer with good defense. I was hoping that Frazier would have made it a better fight, he showed that his chin just cannot take a big punch.

And with that Alex Stewart wins the tournament. And he remains undefeated.

well if you could put there control, hitting power, chin, defense, and their overall rating, the more the merrier

[PilotMan]

Ahhhhh. So you want to know who the better fighter is going into the match. I had considered this, however I would like to let the fighters and the fights speak for themselves. I can do a write up beforehand, but I would like to leave the ratings a bit of a mystery. Judge from records and previous performances and such. Decide based on that who you think has the upper hand. You should assume that until defeated that the Champion is the best fighter in the UHB. Does that make sense?

[condors]

oh yeah i can see that, a little writeup prior to title fights would be good though, maybe i just watched too many of the hbo fights where they have talk about how great fighter A is then do the same for fighter B.

********TITLE FIGHT ANNOUNCED*********

Al Reich, the current UHB title holder, has been sceduled to defend his title against the "Bull from Bosporus" Sinan Samil Sam. Reich who came by the title by way of winning the inital double elimination tournament, has only fought one time since against Ed Mahone. Sam has been busy since his start in the UHB. While he has been succesful in most of his fights he was on the losing end of the biggest asswhiping the federation has seen. Undeterred, he returned from that loss to score a unianimous decision over youngser Murray Gitlitz. We will preview this fight later.

[condors]

thanks :)

UHB TITLE NIGHT PREVIEW

Al Reich's keys to victory-
-Reich has to repect the power with which Sam hits.
-He needs to use his superior defensive ability and box his opponent.
-Reich has not been tested. This is likely his toughest fight. Did he train well enough?
-Working on a string of 2 consecutive knockouts and 5 consecutive wins.

Sinan Samil Sam's keys to victory-
-Training is important. He found out against Ficucello that training can make or break the fight.
- Out work Riech, apply pressure and close the gap. Take the fight to him.
- Don't underestimate Reich's power. Sam's chin has not been rock solid.
- Sam won his last fight by unanimous decision.

We can see, if we go back to Sam's key's to victory, was that he needed to be the aggressor. He was, he threw tons and tons of punches, never let up and did not give Reich a place to run. When Reich landed he was effective, he just wasn't active enough. But then again it is hard to stay active from your back. I don't think anyone anticipated Reich going down 4 times.

Two fighters with winning records and one making his debut. There are some fighters with pop, so there could be some knockouts. Jack Gardner is squaring off against a good opener in Murray Gitlitz. Rudi Wagener will try and beat Marvis Frazier in their rematch. Frazier won the first time around in 10. Jorge Brescia hopes that his second fight goes better than his first, and Ed Mahone tries to even up his record against a so-so Paul Cavalier.

This goes to prove it is hard to fight when you can only see out of one eye. Paul Cavalier made this look easy. Bertazzolo tried to stay as active but just couldn't make it happen.

Gardner had a tough go against on of the best fighters in the UHB. Frazier was on his bicycle for most of the fight. He landed more punches, and Gardner was obviously pissed to be chasing, throwing and not hitting more often. Gardener almost ended it in round 8, but Frazier was brave and fought back hard to win. Both did their damage and their faces show it. Sets up a final between 2 boxers. Cavalier has better power and Frazier has the experience.

FINALLY! Frazier soundly defeats Paul Cavalier, although I though that he should have won the first fight too. Cavalier's cut from the first fight was reopened and made much deeper. The fight doc told the ref his opinion and that was that. Frazier would have won anyway though. I was surprised when Cavalier went down in the 10th, considering Frazier has so little power. Frazier's stock would be a lot higher if he hadn't gotten his clock cleaned by Alex Stewart. Cavalier is considered a tough mid level fighter at this stage.

***********News**************

There will be a title rematch between Sinan Samil Sam and Al Reich. Reich's camp has claimed that their fighter was under the influence of a depressent before the match. That would explain his unwillingness to throw punches. They say that he is more prepared and ready to take on the Bull. News from Sam's camp is that they are doing the same things that they did to get to this place. Sam is ready, they feel that Reich is not in the same league as Sam and that he will be no competetion.

Reich needs to do the same things in this fight that I said he needed to do to win in the last fight. Sam dominated and was hardly tested. Will he do as well the second time around?

Al Reich's keys to victory-
-Reich has to repect the power with which Sam hits.
-He needs to use his superior defensive ability and box his opponent.
-Reich has not been tested. This is likely his toughest fight. Did he train well enough?
-Working on a string of 2 consecutive knockouts and 5 consecutive wins.

Sinan Samil Sam's keys to victory-
-Training is important. He found out against Ficucello that training can make or break the fight.
- Out work Riech, apply pressure and close the gap. Take the fight to him.
- Don't underestimate Reich's power. Sam's chin has not been rock solid.
- Sam won his last fight by unanimous decision.


Sam goes in as the heavy favorite. The oddsmakers remember the way that he ended it the first time around and are showing Reich no respect. They feel that Reich is not a match for the much bigger and more powerful Sam. They feel that the info from Reich is a lie. They think that Reich has no shot.

Reich put up much more of a fight in this fight than the previous one. He was active, just not as accurate as he needed to be. His endurance was a major problem, what would he have done if he had not tired early. That certainly had to do with his flash knockdown in the 11th. Had he not been knocked down, he would have gotten a draw. I had Sam by 3 so I have no idea what the judges saw that I did not see. Sinan Samil Sam....now undisputed UHB Champion.

**************Announcement***************

The UHB Fighters commitee is proud to announce the signing of 4 new, young fighters for the UHB. These fighters have been contracted and it is believed that any one of them may become the next UHB Champion.

Gus Ruhlin, right-handed, slugger.

Ed "Too Tall" Jones, right-handed, slugger.

David "The Boss" Bostice, right-handed, boxer-slugger.

James "Quick" Tillis, right-handed, boxer-slugger.

We look forward to seeing these fighters in the UHB. As we grow and expand, the best will rise and the worst will fall away. In time we will see where these new, young fighers will end up.

We are currently in the process of designing a 16-man single elimination tournament. The winner will be awarded a $100,000 prize and a vacation in Las Vegas, as well as, prestige, respect and a possible title shot.

[PilotMan]

Matchups are set for the Tournament. We have all 4 new fighters and the Champ signed up. Along with some of the better fighters from the UHB. Here are the initial matchups.

Bruce Seldon 1-0-0 v. Ed Mahone 3-5-0 (2)

Ralph Ficucello 3-2-1 (1) v. Jack Gardner 1-1-0

Marvis Frazier 11-3-2 (1) v. Ed Jones DEBUT!

Murray Gitlitz 1-4-0 (1) v. James Tillis DEBUT!

Alex Stewart 3-0-0 (1) v. Gus Ruhlin DEBUT!

Paul Cavalier 4-3-3 (1) v. Jorge Brescia 0-2-0

[PilotMan]

On first glance there are some names that pop out here. There are some fighters who have done well, and should be expected to do so in this next round. You also have some young fighters who would like to strut their stuff, and of course the brand new fighters who are just anxious to beat on someone. The favorites that jump out at me are Ralph Ficucello, he has been inconsistant, but been able to put together some really good fights. Marvis Frazier who has gone far many times. His experience will help him here. Sinan Samil Sam, the Champ, who should do well. Alex Stewart who won convincingly in an earlier tournament. And Paul Cavalier, who like Ficucello, has been up and down, but always seems to be around.

Bruce Seldon 1-0-0 v. Ed Mahone 3-5-0 (2)

Mahone enters the ring in good shape. Seldon finishes his Krispy Kreme, takes off his robe then sucks in his big 'ol gut. Train? Why?

Round 1: Seldon goes down and out!

Winner by KO at :28 of round 1.....Ed "The Hammer" Mahone!

So much for Ficucello making a run. Gardner looked good and at the end of the fight he looked like the winner, and Ficucello looked like a loser, a bloodied and bruised loser. Ficucello was busy, however Gardner was much more effective. He did well to fight back from giving away the first few rounds.

Marvis Frazier by unanimous decision.

Ed Jones was gassed at round 2. Terrible, and he was in good shape? Frazier stayed away, through some punches and boxed like a good little boxer. Since he has no power Jones was never in any real trouble anyway. Frazier sets a record for landed punches in a 10 round fight. Frazier is a tough opponent for a debut anyway.

Jack Munroe by split decision.

Bostice fought very well at the end, and he almost stole the fight. Anytime you are knocked down twice in the same round it is going to be hard to fight back and win by decision. In fact, if you look at Comp U Box, Bostice did the majority of work in the fight, had he not been KD, he definatley would have won.

Riccardo Bertazzolo 5-4-0 (3) v. Sinan Samil Sam UHB Champion 6-1-1 (2)

Sinan Samil Sam by unanimous decision.

This was one of the more lopsided fights in UHB. Not as bad as the beatdown that Sam recieved, but this one was near it. Berazzolo proved that he has heart, as he kept getting back up and coming for more. Either that or he had a bet that he would finish the fight and he really needed his prize money. :)

Murray Gitlitz 1-4-0 (1) v. James Tillis DEBUT!

Both fighters enter the ring in good shape.

Comp U Box
Gitlitz 33/110

Tillis was ahead on all 3 scorecards.

Good debut for Tillis. Gitlitz isn't a very tough opponent, but he was clearly better in all phases of the match. Tillis will have a little bit tougher opponent in the second round. A big step to go from an also ran to the Champ.

[PilotMan]

Alex Stewart 3-0-0 (1) v. Gus Ruhlin DEBUT!

Both fighters are in good shape as they enter the ring.

Round 1: Stewart
Round 2: Stewart goes down and out!

The winner, by KO, at 3:00 of round 2......Gus Ruhlin!

Comp U Box
Stewart 40/85
Ruhlin 47/113

Stewart was ahead on all three scorecards.

What a dominating debut for Ruhlin. I am still in shock that Stewart, the man who had not been tested in his 3 previous fights is KOed. High hopes for Ruhlin, as everyone tears up their betting stubs from having bet on the heavily favored Alex Stewart. Stewart's chin could cause problems for his future.

Cavalier dominated a lesser opponent. Brescia was damaged early and never able to get away from Cavalier's prescion punches. Once he felt that he could cruise he did. He continued to outpoint and control the flow of the match. How will he matchup against the surprising Gus Ruhlin?

Jack Gardner by unanimous decision.

Mahone was his typical ho-hum self. He couldn't muster up enough power to hurt Gardner who showed good power in dropping the big man 3 times. I can't really judge how good he really is. He does have a nice 3 match win streak though. Mahone is a dangerous customer, but his chin is very suspect.

An interesting fight. Frazier, who was heavily favored, gave everyone a score in the 4th. He was able to get it back together, and turned Munroe's face into hamburger. Frazier clearly outworked Munroe, I have no idea how he got less than 98 points, as I only had him lose 1 round. The judges certainly had the fight closer than I did. Frazier rolls on.

Well, the Champ is still the Champ, but he was beaten here. The flash knockdown in teh 8th was hope, but Tillis boxing skills were too tough. Another good fight for the young "Quick" Tillis. Sam tried and pushed the action, he was usually a step behind though. Who knows if his training regimen had to do with it. Tillis on to the semi's.

Cavalier put on a show for the masses. Easily winning almost all of the rounds, and finishing the fight with a KO. Gus Ruhlin wasn't up to the task of repeating his debut show. Though he fought one tough customer in Cavalier. He certainly looks like a potential contender.

Forgot to plug it in. Sorry.

Frazier was ahead on all 3 scorecards.

Jack Gardner makes a good show for himself, as he is able to put away the crafty Frazier. Frazier, who's chin has been a problem just didn't stay far enough away. Gardner got a hold of him and beat him senseless. I think that if this fight would have gone the distance, and Frazier could have avoided the knockdown he would have found himself in the final again. He didn't so Jack Gardner goes to the final.

This was a good fight between 2 of the best young fighters in the UHB. Tillis has done fantastic in his debut outings and Cavalier is on a roll. Tillis looked to win this fight early, but Cavalier kept going to the body and slowed the inexperienced boxer down. By the later rounds Cavalier accuracy took over and he was able to pull the fight out. I had Cavalier by 1, but it really could have gone either way. Paul Cavlier to the Final.

WOW! Talk about a surprising result. I never would have guessed that Cavalier would have dominated this fight like he did. Especially after the wars that he had with Marvis Frazier, and Gardner KO'ed him in 2. Cavalier showed him who the real fighter is. Gardner is still trying to find his way in the UHB and if he ever gets going in the right direction he will be a force to be rekoned with.

Following the great series of fights from this most recent tounament, we have begun to develop a feel for the fighters in the UHB. There has been some new blood, a new champ, and some unknowns. I have lined up a nice fightcard for you today. Thanks to Marmel, as I am going to steal a little of his format for my own. :) We will present the fights as a fightcard, and now give a preview and show you the oddsmakers favorite.

Thats cool. I stole the 5 fights and then you retire idea from you (although I edited to 4 for now since my universe is tiny with less than 20 active fighters right now.)

Once these universes mature, I wonder if there is a way to import fighters and have a UHB/BWC clash. :D

*******LIVE! From Miccosukee Gaming and Resort......UHB!***********

Opener
David "The Boss" Bostice 0-1-0 v. Murray Gitlitz 1-5-0 (1)

Bostice lost a weak split decision to Jack Munroe, he is taking on an opponent in the middle of a 3 fight losing streak in Murray Gitlitz. To Gitlitz defense he has certainly fought the tougher opponents and grabbed a KO against the very same Munroe that Bostice lost to. Oddsmakers 2-1 Gitlitz

Prelim 1
Rudi Wagener 2-6-0 (1) v. Bruce "The Atlantic City Express" Seldon 1-1-0

After Seldon's shocking loss to Ed Mahone, his stock dropped. He needs this fight to get on the right track. In other news, Rudi Wagener has dropped 2 straight. They were both to fighters far superior to him, but a loss is loss. Both fighters can hit. I say that this one will not go the distance. Oddsmakers 2-1 Seldon.

Prelim 2
Riccardo Bertazzolo 5-5-0 (3) v. Ed "Too Tall" Jones 0-1-0

Bertazzolo is a somewhat proven fighter, and has some experience. While Jones had a horrible debut against a tough Marvis Frazier. Jones is looking to make a better impression in the UHB, while Bertazzolo is looking to turn around his 2 loss streak. Oddsmakers 7-2 Jones.

Support
Gus Ruhlin 1-1-0 (1) v. Al Reich 5-2-0 (2)

This looks to be in interesting matchup. Ruhlin had a nice showing in the tournament with a win over Alex Stewart, while Reich has lost 2 straight to the Champ, Sinan Samil Sam. Reich had been untouchable until then, and now looks to climb up the mountain against a game Gus Ruhlin. Ruhlin would like nothing better than to kick Reich to the curb again and take his place in the top flight challengers circle. Oddsmakers 2-1 Ruhlin

Co-Feature
Jack Gardner 4-2-0 (1) v. Ralph Ficucello 3-3-1 (1)

Ficucello has been a tough customer, however he has not won in 3 matches. Jack Gardner did well enough to be considered a look into the top levels of the UHB. This match will go some way to furthering either fighter in that direction. This is a rematch, in the previous fight Gardner won by unanimous deicision. Oddsmakers 3-1 Gardner

Main Event
Sinan Samil Sam UHB Champion 7-2-1 (2) v. Marvis Frazier 13-4-2 (1)

Sam will defend his title against the #1 contender Marvis Frazier. These two have never gone at it in the ring, and they posses the 2 best records in the UHB. I will give a breakdown of the matchup before the fight. Oddsmakers 3-2 Frazier

I don't know, never tried it before. I can't wait until we get to the point where you have the aging vet trying to make the money with his name get throttled by the soon to be great up and comer. The other thing that I like is that there is no real idea how good the champ is other than the fighters that he has beaten. You can concievably have a reign by a champ that would be dominating for his era, and then along comes a Mike Tyson and sets a whole new world of dominance. I like the way that mirrors life. Now if I can stick with it long enough for that to occr. This has already been my most succesful, and it is still fun and not at all tedious.

See! I was right it didn't go the distance. Only by 14 seconds though. Lucky me. Seriously though, how much punishment did the ref really save him for those 14 seconds? Wageners lack of endurance continues to plague him, after he went down in the 5th the match was effectively over. Seldon got back up on the horse and Wageners career is in jeopardy.

Riccardo Bertazzolo 5-5-0 (3) v. Ed Jones 0-1-0

Bertazzolo enters the ring in good shape, Jones comes in bone dry, not a good sign.

Winner, by KO, at 2:39 of round 1,..... Riccardo Bertazzolo!

Comp U Box
Bertazzolo 46/46
Jones 0/16

This might be the new worst beatdown. Bertazzolo landed so many punches that as Jones had just gotten up from the second KD, and the ref was deciding what to do and Bertazzolo hammered him a couple more times and the ref had to start counting again. This fight would have been stopped if Jones had managed to get back up. How bad is Ed Jones? Jones needs to seriously rethink his fighting stategy. For Bertazzolo this did not really do anything for him except give him a win, Jones looked so bad that it really did not help his credibility.

A solid win for Reich. Ruhlin may not be ready for the step up to this caliber of fighter. It was a close fight and Reich did go down late. Both fighters fought a similar style of fighting. Both were moving a lot, Reich landed many more heavy punches. That was primarily the reason for the win. This was a good fight for Reich, it means that he can continue to move up the path back to the title.

Ralph Ficucello by majority decision.

Ficucello as they say "left is all in the ring." This was one of the guttiest fights in the UHB. Gardner simply did not throw enough punches. You can credit Ficucello's training and his ring generalmanship for that. He was able to control the pace of the fight and even though he landed less punches, he threw so many more that Gardner spent the evening slipping instead of throwing. This was a missed opportunity for Jack Gardner, he needs to find another stepping stone to the top.

World Championship Preview

Tonight, we have the UHB title on the line. Sinan Samil Sam , the Bull from Bosporus, is ready to defend his title for the second time. This time against the #1 contender Marvis Frazier.

Sinan Samil Sam's keys to victory -
- Cut off the ring and get inside effectively. He cannot spend the whole night chasing Frazier around the ring.
- Find the weak spot on Frazier's chin. Frazier has been knocked down 11 times and KO'd 2 times.
- Control the tempo.

Marvis Frazier's key's to victory-
- Don't go toe to toe. You won't win.
- Use the Jab, and keep the left up. Your chin isn't stron enough to sustain much punishment
- Control the tempo, don't let Sam pressure you.
- Forget the loss to Gardner. He wasn't the Champ, it didn't matter then.

Sinan Samil Sam by split decision. Still UHB Champion!

Robbed! Robbed! Robbed! Unfreakin' believable. If you had seen this match there is no way that this makes sense. Frazier fought the fight that we see all too often from him. Granted he was hurt about 5 times in the fight, but he never went down. Both fighters traded, but Frazier was more accurate by far. I had Frazier 117-112. How does he lose? There may need to be an investigation into this one! Early on it looked like it was going to be Sam, he was working Frazier's body and Frazier looked to be slowing down. Then Frazier's plan took over, and he controlled the fight. So much that by round 9 Sam was whipped. Marvis Frazier should be the new champ, Sinan Samil Sam left the ring with a sheepish grin. He knew he had lost.

[Wolfpack]

Ooh...controversy already!

And, geez, 46-46 on that one beatdown earlier? Did the other guy even bother to raise his gloves in defense or anything?

Yeah, I think that Jones went down with the first couple of punches from Bertazzolo. After that he was on dream street. Besides Jones is like 6-9, and there is a lot to hit there.

*******LIVE! From Kewadin Casino......UHB!***********

Opener
Jorge Brescia 0-3-0 v. Ed "Too Tall" Jones 0-2-0

Not a whole lot of excitement here. Neither fighter has made an impact here in the UHB. Tonight they will battle, not unlike a maiden horserace. Brescia has looked marginally better in his 3 fights, while Jones has looked horrible. This fight may go before the doors officially open tonight, in order to save the crowd the horror. Oddsmakers 2-1 Jones

Prelim 1
David "The Boss" Bostice 0-1-1 v. Rudi Wagener 2-7-0 (1)

Bostice was unspectacular with in his Draw against Gitlitz, however he did show spirit by coming back in a match that he should have lost. Wagener on the other hand is winning no admirers here at all. Having shown flashes of power and a horrid endurance, if he can't put Bostice away early, then he will probably lose. Oddsmakers 3-1 Wagener

Prelim 2
Jack Gardner 4-3-0 (1) v. Gus Ruhlin 1-2-0 (1)

Jack Gardner, coming off of a tough loss to Ralph Ficucello, is looking for a figher to use in his return to the top. Gus Ruhlin, who is still living off of his KO of Alex Stewart, needs something else in order to be considered an 'A' level boxer. This is his opportunity. Gardner is tough, but not unbeatable. Oddsmakers 2-1 Gardner

Support
Bruce "The Atlantic City Express" Seldon 2-1-0 (1) v. Ralf Ficucello 4-3-1 (1)

Seldon returned to respectability following his win over Rudi Wagener. Now he looks to move up. Ficucello is a tough, gamey fighter who can give problems to any fighter in the UHB. Unfortunately, he isn't consistent enough to be considered a top fighter. This should be a good fight. Oddsmakers 2-1 Seldon

Co-Feature
James "Quick" Tillis 2-1-0 (1) v. Al Reich 6-2-0 (2)

Battle of the Boxers! Tillis can stick and move, and wants the opportunity to move up the ladder. His big victory against the Champ showed what potential we are dealing with here. He lost to top contender Paul Cavalier, and now he takes on another top contender in Al Reich. Reich the former champ cruised over Gus Ruhlin. A win here, despite Tillis' inexperience, would help to move him up the map. He is already considered an 'A' level figher, but the back to back losses to Sam hurt. He may not get a shot at the title any time soon, so he needs to take the chances to get back there. Oddsmakers 2-1 Tillis

Main Event
Alex "The Destroyer" Stewart 3-1-0 (1) v. Paul Cavalier 8-3-3 (2)

Your main event. Stewart has won a tournament and that holds a lot of water, but the loss to Gus Ruhlin was a shocker. Stewart would like to make that history here. While no where near the #1 contender spot his stock would rise with win. Paul Cavalier is the hottest fighter in the UHB. He has won 4 fights in a row. Cavalier has an experience advantage, but Stewarts power could cause problems. If Cavalier can win, he will move ahead of Marvis Frazier for the coveted #1 contender position. Oddsmakers Pick'em

Jorge Brescia by majority decision.

It looked like Jones was fighting well in the first half of the fight. In fact, I would say he was fighting outside of himself. He hurt Brescia a couple of times, and certainly landed more big blows through the course of the fight. Brescia was a punch throwing machine. It just goes to show you how little power he has. Jones has one of the weakest chins in the UHB, and out of 330 punches landed, not 1 knockdown. Brescia is happy to have this win. Jones is on thin ice.

David Bostice 0-1-1 v. Rudi Wagener 2-7-0 (1)

David Bostice by unanimous decision.

I felt that this was a winnable fight for either fighter. I imagine that if Wagener actually cared about his future in the UHB that he would have bothered training. Bostice deserves this win. He was the better fighter, and now has not lost in 2 fights. I am sure he will look to step up in competition soon. As far as Wagener goes, big punch, big gut. So far in his career his gut is winning the fight. He has lost 4 fights in a row.

Jack Gardner by unanimous decision.

A solid win for Gardner, and a hard loss for Ruhlin who has now dropped 3 in a row. Gardner started off strong and did not look back. Ruhlin started a comeback in the middle rounds only to find himself on his back. For Ruhlin, he needs to go back to square 1, while Gardner looks toward the top of the division.

Bruce Seldon by unanimous decision.

This match certainly didn't look as good as it did on paper. In fact, it looked like a big kid beating up on a very hyper and irritating little kid. Ficucello was bouncing everywhere, around the ring, off the ropes, off the canvas. And like a boomerang he just came right back. Seldon did everything but knock him out. Seldon landed the big punches, but he didn't land a lot of punches. He certainly has power, and his career is helped out here. For Ficucello, two steps forward, and two steps back. Now a middle of the roader with a ways to go to compete for the title.

[PilotMan]

James Tillis 2-1-0 (1) v. Al Reich 6-2-0 (2)

Al Reich by unanimous decision.

Despite Tillis using the whole ring and firing shots from everywhere, it seemed that Reich was always a half step ahead. Reich landed more efficiently, and halfway through the fight Tillis was confused and frustrated. The knockdown in the 10th was the icing on the cake. Reich wins easily, and Tillis loses his second in a row. This was an important win for Al Reich. Even moreso that he was not tested in the fight.

[PilotMan]

Alex Stewart 3-1-0 (1) v. Paul Cavalier 8-3-3 (2)

Stewart had been makeing statements to the press about fighting for the Championship. He feels that he deserves a shot. I think he may be overlooking one tough customer here. Cavalier enters the ring in good shape.

Round 1: Cavalier
Round 2: Cavalier
Round 3: Cavaleir

Scoring
100-87
100-87
100-87

Well, it doesn't get more decisive than that. Stewart was manhandled. He was lucky to even finish the fight. Maybe he should have called in sick today. Cavalier breaks the record for punches landed in a 10 round fight. If you need another idea of how he won look at the jab totals. Stewart 12...Cavalier 129. That pretty much says it all. Paul Cavalier is now undefeated since his war with Marvis Frazier and has moved into the catbird seat near the title. Given the hotstreak that he is on, I would not want to face him, and I would think that the Champ is as well.

[tanglewood]

Cavalier vs Reich for the right to face The Champ? Fraizer can wait for the next time round for another go.

**********LIVE! From Mellon Arena....USA! UHB Professional Boxing!*********

Opener
Jack Munroe 3-6-0 (1) v. Ed "Too Tall" Jones 0-3-0

With wins against Long Tom Hawkins (remember him?), Ed Mahone, and David Bostice, Jack Munroe is clearly destined for opener status. He will try and improve on that with win over the talentless Ed Jones. Jones, who has already made a mark (with his back) in the UHB, wants a little respect. With a win over Munroe, that is exactly what he will get. A little. Munroe is coming off of a decisive loss to Marvis Frazier, while Jones recently lost to Jorge Brescia. Oddsmakers 2-1 Jones

Prelim 1
Murray Gitlitz 1-5-1 (1) v. Jorge Brescia 1-3-0

This is like opener #2. Gitlitz only victory came against Jack Munroe, he is in the midst of a 3 loss streak, and without a win in 4 matches. Most recently, he earned a draw with David Bostice. His career is on the skids, and he needs to get it back under control. For Brescia, he earned his first win over Ed Jones in unimpressive fashion. He has fought some tough fighers, his only saving grace is that he has yet to be knocked out. Not sure what the winner of fight will gain except some money. Gitlitz can move away from the dangerous edge of retirement with a win. Oddsmakers 2-1 Gitlitz

Prelim 2
Riccardo Bertazzolo 6-5-0 (4) v. Gus Ruhlin 1-3-0 (1)

Gus Ruhlin may have started his career out a bit too aggressively. With losses to some of the better fighters in the UHB and a win against an inconsistant Alex Stewart, he has fallen in the rankings. Bertazzolo is the perfect opponent. Good enought to beat the worst, but fallen agaisnt the more difficult. He represents a solid test for Ruhlin. If Ruhlin loses this match he can be certain it will be a long road to the top. If Bertazzolo wins it will send a statement that he should not be taken lightly. Oddsmakers 9-2 Ruhlin

Support
Alex "The Destroyer" Stewart 3-2-0 (1) v. James "Quick" Tillis 2-2-0 (1)

Both fighters joined the UHB at the same time, but this is their first fight. He started his career in impressive fashion winning a tournament against top-ranked Marvis Frazier. From there he fell in 2 consecutive matches and now is faced with another capable opponent in Tillis. Tillis has been on the same path as Stewart, in his second fight he defeated the Champ Sinan Samil Sam in a non-title fight, but from there has fallen to 2 of the best in the UHB. After this fight one will go up, and one will continue down. One will need to prove that their early victories were not flukes. Oddsmakers 3-2 Stewart

Co-Feature
Jack Gardner 5-3-0 (1) v. Bruce "The Atlantic City Express" Seldon 3-1-0 (1)

I am looking forward to this fight with great anticipation. Gardner who stock has been bounced up and down more than basketball is looking to take another solid step forward. The biggest name that Seldon has beatedn is Ralf Ficucello whom he destroyed in his last fight, would like to add Gardner to his trophy mantle. It would be the first upper level figher that he has beaten, and would put him on the potential list for future title contender. Gardner is obviously the toughest fighter that he has faced, but he is beatable. Gardner has been beaten by the same Ficucello that Seldon beat. Oddsmakers 2-1 Gardner

Main Event
Al Reich 7-2-0 (2) v. Marvis Frazier 13-5-3 (1)

This is not the even that some of the fans have been calling for, but it is an intriguing mathup. This will be the 3rd time that they have fought, with Reich winning both previous matches, most recently by KO in the third round. A lot has changed though. Reich has lost the title, and Frazier has been busy, and lost a very controversial title fight with Sam. Frazier has a big experience edge, but Reich is a figher on the move. His only other losses were to Sam, and since he has Gus Rulin and James Tillis. This is a necessary fight if he hopes to challenge for the title. The winner of this fight puts themselves in line for a match with Paul Cavalier, unless Cavalier gets the title fight first. Oddsmakers 2-1 Frazier

[Wolfpack]

I have to think Frazier has the edge as he's at prime now (fight 22) while Reich is still at the first stage (fight 10), unless Reich is actually a better fighter historically and therefore if they were both in prime, Reich would make mincemeat of Frazier. I should note that I have no earthly idea who any of these cats are, really. I'm just idly speculating. (My knowledge of boxing is restricted pretty much to historical champions at the heavyweight level. I've never really gotten into the sport much, especially in light of the fiasco that it is in this day and age. I'm following because it's something different on the boards and doesn't have the crap the real world sport has going against it.)

Jack Munroe by unanimous decision.

No surprise here that Jones was knocked down in the first, I thought that was it, but he got up and had a huge second round that almost ended it. Jones looked very strong early, he was able shake off the early knockdowns, but as the fight wore on his stamina became an issue. Munroe proved to be the hardier fighter and controlled the end of the fight. This was probably Jones' best opportunity for a win. He will get one more opportunity. Munroe gained little to nothing with this win. In his mind though, this is like a new begining that he can use to vault his career.

Murray Gitlitz 1-5-1 (1) v. Jorge Brescia 1-3-0

The winner by TKO at 1:25 of round 2......Jorge Brescia!

Comp U Box
Gitlitz 8/57
Brescia 47/92

Brescia was ahead on all 3 scorecards.

So this is probably the only way that Brescia is going to win a fight by knockout. Gitlitz cuts are too severe, and he is unable to continue. A big blow for Gitlitz, who was hoping to build on his 1 victory. For Brescia, he now has 2 wins in a row. He was the better fighter for 2 rounds here. Gitlitz wasn't doing much of anything, and barely landed 8 punches. Brescia, on the other hand, was in control and looked like a fighter who wanted a win. Munroe has now lost 4 fights in a row.

Gus Ruhlin by unanimous decision.

If this would have been a 5 round fight, Bertazzolo would have won. Once the second half of the fight started it was all down hill. Ruhlin really let him have it, scoring at will and putting Bertazzollo down twice at the end of the fight. The end result of the fight was as expected. Ruhlin did a nice job of not letting the cut bother him. He was the busier fighter and landed more punches. He deserved the win.

Comp U Box
Stewart 184/525
Tillis 114/238

Stewart was ahead on all 3 scorecards.

The ref stopped this one. Tillis eye's were a mess. His left eye had closed, the right one was very swollen and both cuts over his right eye were causing big problems. Tillis didn't seem to be able to find any solice from Stewarts power. When he threw he was effective, but from the second round on, Tillis seemed to be looking for a way out of the ring. This is a big blow for Tillis. He has now lost 3 straight. Stewart on the other hand still has a couple of more fights to go to get back to the top of the rankings.

Jack Gardner by unanimous decison.

That point deduction in the second played a factor for Seldon. It looked like Seldon kept trying to load up for the big punch. Seldon's defense was enough to keep Gardner off of him, but he did end up landing more. Had Seldon been as busy, I am guessing that Seldon would have won. It looked early on that Seldon was going to win. Seldon probably could have trained harder and it would have affected the outcome as well. I would say an opportunity lost. For Gardner, a good win against a difficult opponent. Gardner is ready to look at the upper level opponents now. Is he ready for the Main Event?

Marvis Frazier by majority decision.

Well Frazier did it. The fight was still quite close. How did he win by 4 and 5, then have a draw on another card. Did this judge just like the former champ better? The ref didn't help with that bad call in the second. Frazier didn't throw as many punches as I am used to seeing him throw, but his D was a big factor in keeping Reich off guard. Reich did not land as many as he has been averaging and his accuracy wasn't as good. So where does this leave them? Reich is still there, but he may need to endure some more wars. For Frazier, he certainly has matured into a good fighter, and his style is one of the most confusing for opponents. He looks like he would be a good shot for the title, but then Paul Cavalier hasn't lost in 5 fights either. Sam is going to have a lot on his hands.

Opener
Rudi Wagener 2-8-0 (1) v. Murray Gitlitz 1-6-1 (1)

Neither of these fighters have very bright futures in the UHB at the moment. Both have lost 4 matches in a row. Both fighters have lost to good boxers, and both have lost to Marvis Frazier in their respective streaks. Gitlitz victory came against Jack Munroe, while Wagener's best win was against top ranked Paul Cavalier. Needless to say he has fallen a long way since that win. Oddsmakers 2-1 Wagener

Prelim 1
Riccardo Bertazzolo 6-6-0 (4) v. Ed "The Hammer" Mahone 4-6-0 (3)

Here are 2 of the best knockout artists in the UHB. Neither has a really great chin so if this goes the distance I will be surprised. Bertazzolo has been up and down like a ping-pong ball, while Mahone has used his power to win some he probably should have lost. For each of these fighters, this is a middle of the road fight. The winner should expect to step up in competition and look to make a challenge run. Oddsmakers 5-2 Mahone

Prelim 2
James "Quick" Tillis 2-3-0 (1) v. Gus Ruhlin 2-3-0 (1)

Both of these men are down, but not out. Having lost recently in matches where they were the underdogs they are now matched together to decide their pecking order. Tillis, after having beaten the Champ has fallen 3 times in a row. All the losses are to big name fighters, and he still believes he should be up there. For Ruhlin, he was beaten by the same 3 fighters and is coming off of a decisive win over Riccardo Bertazzolo. Oddsmakers Pick'em

Support
Alex "The Destroyer" Stewart 4-2-0(2) v. Bruce Seldon 3-2-0 (1)

I have been hesitant to match the two of them up. Both have had up and down fights, and both have been supremely impressive. For all intents and purposes they are even. If Stewart can win, he will look like a genuine challenger, but if Seldon wins, he could begin his run to prove the same. The loser of this fight will take their mediocre record and move to the back of the line. Oddsmakers Pick'em

Co-Feature
Al Reich 7-3-0 (2) v. Jack Gardner 6-3-0 (1)

Reich is coming off the tough loss to Marvis Frazier, while Gardner would like a shot at the title. The Ex-Champ is going to have to be good enough. Gardner has put together wins over mid table fighers Ruhlin, and Seldon. Reich would be considered a step up and a genuine challenge. Reich needs to assert his dominance in order to reposition himself in line for a title fight. Oddsmakers 3-1 Gardner

Main Even
TITLE FIGHT
Sinan Samil Sam UHB Champ 8-2-1 (2) v. Paul Cavalier 9-3-3 (2)

To make his 3rd defense of the title, Sinan Samil Sam will need to beat the hottest fighter in the UHB, in Paul Cavalier. To his credit, he has already done this once. He beat Cavalier by unanimous decision in 12 rounds. Both fighters have matured a little, and this one expects to be good. However, since Cavalier lost to Marvis Frazier he has done well, in fact all recent opponets are on the card today. Ruhlin, Tillis, Gardner and Stewart. Cavalier has won 5 in a row.

Murray Gitlitz by unanimous decision

An uninspiring fight, and dissapointing for Wagener. His career started hopeful and ended terribly. He never used the power that he possesed in this fight, and was put down once. The win for Gtilitz means more about surviving than actually moving up in the rankings. He will never challenge for the title, but he will occasionally make an opponent pay for taking him to lightly, or for the inexperience fighter to test his skills on.

Ed Mahone by majority decision.

I can't believe that these 2 didn't knock the crap out of each other. Make no mistake it was a physical fight. Both fighters pretty much stood toe to toe and hammered it out. Hence the scars from headbutts. By the 5th it looked like it was going to be a rount, and the 7th didn't look much better. Bertazzolo fought back hard and floored Mahone, only to not be able to get him again before the end of the fight. Lots of blood, and hitting. Truely a fans fight!

Good win for Tillis, as he flashed some power to get the win. Ruhlinjust never got it going. This was a battle of counter-punchers, and Tillis won out as the better counter puncher. He proved to be the better puncher too. The fighters were pretty active, with neither outworking the other. Tillis had a better day, hence the win.

Alex Stewart by unanimous decision.

These fighters put on a show today. From the begining it looked like Stewart was going to cruise, that all changed in teh 5th round. Rounds 5-8 were exciting, as both fightes flashed their power. Of course, now the question remains if they can take a big punch. Five total knockdowns keeps that question unanswered. Seldon seemed like he was loading up, and it did work, but his lack of effort in the off rounds is what sank him in this fight. Stewart showed more well rounded boxing skills, to go along with the power that floored Seldon 3 times. This fight probably should have ended with a knockout for someone, but both fighers showed good heart in hanging in there.

Jack Gardner by unanimous decision.

A short fight but the result was the same. Gardner had this fight in hand, and with Reich already tired it was only going to get worse. Reich was unable to effectively use his boxing skills, and instead was controlled by Gardner's power. Reich was landing good, but the fight was really out of his control. For as descisive as this fight was it has made it difficult for Reich to get a title shot anytime soon. Gardner continues to win, and will gain more respect as the level of opponent increases. He has won 3 in a row.

World Championship Preview

Tonight, the UHB title is on the line. Sinan Samil Sam, The Bull from Bosporus, will defend his title for the 3rd time. His oppponent, Paul Cavalier, is the hottest fighter in the UHB and is tearing fighters up on his way to the top. There are however some questions.

First, Jack Gardner is the only fighter with any weight that he has beaten recently. He has beaten Alex Stewart, but the word is still out on Stewart. Second, he has lost to Sam before. It was a 12 round unanimous decision.

Sinan Samil Sam's Keys to Victory--
- use combiantions and work the body
- take advantage of his power
- cut off the ring, and keep his gloves up

Paul Cavalier's Keys to Victory--
- Take advantage of Sam's lack of defense and fire lots of punches
- Sam's chin is vulnerable, and he will be coming forward. Look to strike quick.
- Respect the power, but control the fight.

[tategter]

Take him down Sam!

The Winner....and NEW UHB CHAMPION....Paul Cavalier!

Well there you have it. Cavalier mows down another, and this time he won BIG! I think that the judges were a little generous with Sam. It was a close fight, but once Sam went down that seemed to change things. Cavalier didn't even look tired until the last round. Not to say that Sam wasn't trying, I think he was doing all he could. Look at how many punches that he threw. His defense was horrid, and losing the ability to see in one eye made it that much more difficult. Cavalier is a deadly accurate puncher, and he flashed some power too. Sam hasn't been knocked out yet, and he wasn't close here, but I do think it distracted him. Essentially, Cavalier took what he needed to do to win the fight and did it. He set the tone, made Sam pay for his poor defense, and caught him coming in. Sam wore himself out throwing punches that didn't land, and then fought the uphill battle from knockdown recovery to swollen and cut eyes. Now how long will Cavalier stay at the top? And who will he fight next for the title?

***********Live.....From Amor Bahn, Germany....UHB Professional Boxing!*****
Here is the fightcard!

Opener
Ed Jones 0-4-0 v. David Tua DEBUT!

Ed Jones is still looking for his first win in the UHB. David Tua is making his debut. Jones has looked horrible, and he hopes to win against the newcomer. Tua, however, has a bit of hype following him. He was a well traveled fighter at the amature ranks and shows a bit of promise. If Jones wants the win he hasn't picked an easy opponent. This may be the last time that you see Ed "Too Tall" Jones in the UHB. Oddsmakers 3-1 Tua

Prelim 1
Riccardo Bertazzolo 6-7-0 (4) v. Damon Reed DEBUT!

Betrtazzolo is not your run of the mill test fighter. He is a hard hitting gamey fighter who has had a share of ups and downs. Coming off of a tough loss to Ed Mahone, he wants a win. Damon Reed would like to prove that he can handle the experience and power of Bertazzolo. Who knows what the newcomer will bring, but you can lay money down on how Bertazzolo will plan to fight in this one. Oddsmakers 7-2 Reed

Prelim 2
Gus Ruhlin 2-4-0 (1) v. Jorge Brescia 2-3-0 (1)

Here are two fighters passing in the rankings. Ruhlin started his career off promising with a KO victory, while Brescia lost his first 3 fights. For Ruhlin, a win to move back up the ladder, while Brescia takes on a challenger that is much more of a challenge than his last 2 fighters. Still, there might be enough between the two of them to make a good fight. Oddsmakers 3-1 Ruhlin

Support
David Bostice 1-1-1 v. Ralph Ficucello 4-4-1 (1)

The promoters are sorry that this was the best fight to offer up for the card. Bostice has been unspectacular while Ficucello has been maddeningly inconsistant. This could be good or very, very bad. Ficucello has lost 3 of his last 4 fights, but holds victories against Sinan Samil Sam and Jack Gardner. If things had gone differently for him he could be looking at a possible title fight. For Bostice, a win over the retired Rudi Wagener. Ficucello is a big test for him and will act as a big pivot point on where his career goes next. Oddsmakers 2-1 Ficucello

Co-Feature
Alex Stewart 5-2-0 (2) v. Jack Gardner 7-3-0 (2)

Two figheters on the move. This could be the main event but we couldn't supplant the other BIG match. Both men are on the way up. Gardner has put a string of victories together, and needs to beat the men higher up in the rankings. At the same time, Stewart has been impressive. He lost to Gus Ruhlin, and the Champ - Paul Cavalier, and has victories over Marvis Frazier, Bruce Seldon and James Tillis. Certainly the winner of this fight could move into or close to the #1 ranking. Oddsmakers 3-2 Gardner

Main Event
Sinan Samil Sam 8-3-1 (2) v. Marvis Frazier 14-5-2 (1)

Without the distraction of a title fight these two will get to go at it to resolve the scandal that occured after their last fight. Sam has a lot to lose if he drops a second fight in a row, and might find himself far away from talks of a title rematch. While Frazier would like to challenge the man that he drew with twice before TKO'ing him in a recent tournament, in Paul Cavalier. Frazier is the more experienced fighter, while Sam has power and Frazier's weak chin. Hopefully this will decide who the better figher is better than the last one did. Oddsmakers 3-2 Frazier

Ed Jones 0-4-0 v. David Tua DEBUT!

Tua enters the ring in good shape while word on the street is that Jones has overtrained.

The winner, by TKO at 2:16 of round 3......David Tua!

Comp U Box
Jones 29/29
Tua 98/241

Scorecards were all even.

Jones was no match for the more seasoned Tua. I would have been interesting to see how many punches Tua would have landed had this fight gone the distance. Tua gets win in his debut, which is better than a loss. Especially to Ed Jones. Jones on the other hand needs to find a new line of work.

The winner, by TKO, at 2:55 of round 8......Riccardo Bertazzolo!

Comp U Box
Beratzzolo 170/379
Reed 184/468

Reed was ahead on all 3 scorecards.

Even though he was ahead, if the last round would have finshed it would have been all even. A very good fight for an undercard match. Everyone was surprised when Beratzzolo went down in the first. He did a nice job of rebounding and did what he has done more than any fighter in the UHB. That is finish his opponent. His 7th win and 5th by KO, makes him dangerous to anyone he faces. But like Ed Mahone, his defense and chin make him an easy target too. Reed had a tough opponent for his debut. He looked good, but let a lot of people down when the oddsmakers had him so heavily favored.

A good performance for Ruhlin, and a big failure for Brescia. Ruhlin controlled the flow of the fight from the opening bell. He had no fear of Brescia's limited power and dictated the fight. In the end the result was the same but Ruhlin was able to get the KO, much to the delight of his manager and his fans.

Comp U Box

Ficucello was ahead on all 3 scorecards.

Bostice landed over half of his puches thrown, but got destroyed in this match. In any one of the first 3 rounds he was beaten so badly that the ref could have stopped it, but chose not to. Bostice never recovered and was no factor in the fight. Ficucello was clearly the better fighter. Bostice was clearly overmatched for this sensitive time in his career. Ficucello is DR Jekyl and Mr Hyde. Here he was good. Who will show up at his next match?

What a huge turnaround. The knockdown in the first surprised everyone. Gardner's fans went dead silent. Stewart looked good, and had the lead at the midpoint. Both fighters were raining blow after blow, and when they tired Stewart looked the worse for the wear. Gardner took over and won out in the end, overcame the knockdown and got the unanimous decision. Stewart proved that he can be more than a handful, and for Gardner he showed that even when faced with adversity, he has the ability to come back and still win the fight.

Sinan Samil Sam by unanimous decision.

And the former champ beats Frazier again! From the opening bell Frazier was executing his gameplan and this fight looked like it was going to avenge the loss in their earlier meeting. With a huge lead in the 5th, Sam fired a punch that Frazier obviously was unprepared for. That lead to a series of rounds where Frazier could not find a way to dodge the big blows. By round 9, he found his boxing skills again and won the last 2 rounds, but the damage had already been done. Sam did in this fight what he could not do in the earlier one - put Frazier down. Frazier's defense did not seem up to snuff and he didn't throw enough punches to separate himself as the more dominating fighter. For him to win he should have had over 300 punches landed. The judges saw enough from the fromer champ to give him the fight. Sam proves that he still belongs at the top, by taking out the #1 challenger. Frazier can still plan to be at the top, after all he just lost to the former champ. And he knows that he has beaten the current champ before.

********The UHB Announces....**********

An 8-man Tournament over the span of a 4 weeks, at various locations around the world. Entries are open to any fighter in the UHW, with the bottom 2 slots already reserved for our new fighters who have yet to fight. It will be a seeded tournament, and the fighters will be picked at random.


I like tournaments. It gives the opportunity for low fighters to catch a higher ranked fighter off guard in a match that otherwise would not be booked. Of course, depending on who it is they could get really hurt too.

More on the entrants, and a preview later.

Tourney Preview

#8 Gene Jones DEBUT!
A tough way to make your start. Alex Stewart won out in his tournament debut, and his career is going well. Not a lot expected from the bottom seed.

#7 Buster Douglas DEBUT!
Another new fighter. He is rated higher than Jones just on alphabetical order. Again, not much expected. Not much to lose either.

#6 Jack Munroe 4-6-0 (1)
He has some wins, but all are against losers. His last win was against the now retired Ed Jones. Here is an opportunity to show the upper level talent that he shouldn't be taken lightly.

#5 Riccardo Bertazzolo 7-7-0 (5)
A big hitter, of opponents, and hitting the canvas. Not really sure what to expect from him. He draws a difficult #5 seed. Last win was a come from behind TKO against the green Darren Reed. Only 2 wins in last 6 fights.

#4 David Bostice 1-2-1
Not sure what they were thinking seeding Bostice so high. He is still pretty new, and coming off of a KO at the hands of Ralph Ficucello. Only win was against Rudi Wagener. At this point he is a nobody. Pretty much a real long shot in this one.

#3 Ralph Ficucello 5-4-1 (2)
A very dangerous fighter. He has wins against Samil Sam as well as Jack Gardner. His losses are to good fighters too. Stewart, Seldon, Gardner, and Sam. I would say he is a dark horse in this competition.

#2 Alex Stewart 5-3-0 (2)
Previous winner in a tournament like this, now the #2 seed. A series of wins could help propel him back near the top. He has to be considered one of the favorites. He draws Douglas, and a rook fighter should be no problem for him.

#1 Jack Gardner 8-3-0 (2)
At this point Gardner is considered the #2 contender for the title, behind Sam. He has won 4 fights in a row, most rescently against Alex Stewart. Fans are salivating at the prospect of a rematch. If Gardner can win this he may jump over Sam in the rankings.

Bertazzolo showed up for this one. This was a much better fight with rounds 6 and 7 being especially good. Bostice had decided to go toe to toe and lost. He still seemed distracted, like he shouldn't be here. He underestimated Bertazzolo, while Bertazzolo executed his game plan to perfection. Bertazzolo will face Jack Gardner in the semi - finals.

The funny thing is that Douglas didn't looks that good. Stewarts chin has been a question in the past, but he has been dominant. He was not here today, and his problem will follow him some more.

This was a great fight for the fans, and a good win for Ficucello, but it could have turned bad too. Neither fighter was especially graceful, or used great boxing skills. They landed huge blow after blow, until Munroe had just had enough. Ficucello has had better fights in the past, he is lucky to get out of here with a win. For Munroe, another loss against an opponent that he needed to beat if he ever wanted respect in the UHB.

AAGGHH! Another backward step for a top contender! This loss just made this entire tournament a huge mistake for Jack Gardner. Instead of winning it all and possibly challenging for the title, he falls to mid-ranked Bertazzolo. Credit has to go to Bertazzolo though. The man with the most KO's in the UHB floored Gardner in the 2nd and that was enough to win the match. Even though Bertazzolo threw more punches he was more wild, and winded quicker. Gardner couldn't get to his chin and seemed to be looking past his opponent and in to the finals. This match is the first loss for Gardner in 6 fights. Bertazzolo is now undefeated in his last 4, and moves on to the finals.

Comp U Box
Douglas 66/211
Ficucello 71/167

Ficucello was ahead on 2 scorecards.

Another win for the newcomer over quality talent. This looked to be a close fight until the cut, and Douglas was elated as he has now knocked off the #2 and #3 in the tournament. It is difficult to gauge how this stoppage will affect his ratings, but a win is a win. Tough break for Ficucello in a fight that appeard to be winnable. No doubt he would like to have this one back.

And so Buster Douglas becomes the second fighter to win a tournament in his debut. He ends up defeating Stewart in a fight he was losing. Cuts Ficucello and wins by TKO in a fight he was losing, and gets a unanimous decision over a fighter that before this tournament was considered marginal at best. A great way to start a career and he should be proud. For Bertazzolo the dream ends here. He almost put Douglas away in the 10th, but it was his own chin that got him in trouble throughout the fight. Rounds 4, 6 and 7 were especially entertaing, with the fighters trading punches like trading cards, with the 1st really being the only dud of a round. Buster Douglas wins the tournament.

********LIVE!!!!! FROM BALLY'S IN ATLANTIC CITY, USA.....UHB PROFESSIONAL BOXING!*****

Opener
David Bostice 1-3-2 v. Damon Reed 0-1-0

Reed lost his debut to Riccardo Bertazzolo and has a lower ranked opponent in David Bostice. Bostice has done next to nothing in the UHB, here he is used to test the new talent. His star has shown as bright as its going to get. Reed has another chance to start his career. Oddsmakers 2-1 Reed

Prelim 1
David Tua 1-0-0 (1) v. Murray Gitlitz 2-6-1 (1)

Tua sailed through his debut sending Ed Jones into retirement. Gitlitz is a small step up in competetion. Gitlitz has struggled in the UHB and has gained next to no respect. Even a win against an untested Tua would help his career at this point. Oddsmakers 2-1 Tua

Prelim 2
Bruce Seldon 3-3-0 (1) v. Gus Ruhlin 3-4-0 (2)

FOr both of these fighters this could be a pivotal match. Both started their careers off on the right foot. Seldon hasn't ducked anyone, and has the rough record to show. Despite his record, he is one tough customer. Ruhlin has been on a bad streak, and a win here would help to get things gonig in the right direction. Oddsmakers 2-1 Seldon

Support
Al Reich 7-4-0 (2) v. Alex Stewart 5-4-0 (2)

Reich is the former champ who has been going backward since his last loss to Marvis Frazier. He has good boxing skills and his defense is good. Stewart has fought some tough matches, but his chin has been a big question mark. He hits hard, but can't take a great punch. He shouldn't fear Reich's power here, but he shouldn't underestimate it either. Oddsmakers 2-1 Stewart

Co-Feature
Buster Douglas 3-0-0 (2) v. James Tillis 3-3-0 (1)

Probably too much fanfare for Douglas, but something good has to come from picking up a tournament win. Douglas is good, but how good? His wins were odd, and he never looked great. Tillis is a test for him, he is a middling fighter with the ability to box or punch. This also is a shot for Tillis to put his face back in the contenders pool. Oddsmakers 2-1 Douglas

Main Event
Sinan Samil Sam 9-3-1 (2) v. Paul Cavalier 10-3-3 (2)
For the UHB Title!

A rematch for Sam, after his convincing win over Marvis Frazier. Only a minor problem, the match is booked as a 10-round fight instead of the standard 12 for title fights. Who knows if this is going to impact the match. Cavalier is still a great fighter and Sam has something to prove. Oddsmakers 2-1 Cavalier

I cannot say that this match was a barnburner. There were a lot punches thrown, and a lot missed. A lot of standing around too. Good thing is was an opener, because the crowd wouldn't have liked it anyway. Bostice loses again, and Damon Reed comes away with the needed win. I am not sure what the first judge saw, is sure wasn't this fight.

David Tua by unanimous decision.

Tua proved a tough customer against the poorly trained Murray Gitlitz. A win is good for the young fighter, even if it is against one of the lowest ranked fighters in the UHB. Tua struggled early in the fight, and Gitlitz looked like he was confusing him. With Tua hurting his hand, Gitlitz looked to be in an even better position. By midfight Tua had taken over. He flashed some power by putting Gitlitz down 3 times, and would have put him away had Gitlitz just given up. Gitlitz looked very dazed and badly swollen after the fight.

WOW! Seldon lands a huge puch that drops Ruhlin, and puts him out. Impressive win, especially for someone who wasn't in the best shape for the fight. Ruhlin looks like a nobody at this point in his young career. For Seldon, a win against a midranked fighter, and for him, hopefully a reversal of fortune for his career.

Stewart was ahead on 2 of 3 scorecards.

Round 1 was a big round for both fighters. Numerous big shots landed, but Stewart looked to be the better fighter. In the second, Reich was caught with a right hook that landed square. That was all it took for the former champ to be knocked out. For Reich a very dissapointing showing. He has fallen 3 times in a row, and 5 of his last 7 fights. Alex Stewart rebounds from his losses to Jack Gardner and Buster Douglas with a win here. He'll need a few more of these to contend for the title.

James "Buster" Douglas by unanimous decision.

Douglas continues his undefeated run in the UHB with a win over the challenging Tillis. Tillis, counter puncher couldn't keep Douglas off of him. Douglas through a lot of punches and landed way more than the counterpuncher. Tillis, who is reputed to have a pretty good defense, didn't fare well. This fight was boring in spots with the crown booing the action in at least 4 rounds. Douglas showed his boxing skills, and at time he and Tillis danced merrily around the ring, and nothing else. Tillis slips again in the rankings and has only won 1 time in his last 5 fights. Douglas beats a quality opponent and his 4-0 record is starting to make waves in the UHB.

UHB Heavyweight Title Fight Preview

Tonight, we have a rematch between the current UHB champion, Paul Cavalier, and the former champ Sinan Samil Sam. In the first title match Cavalier came away with the absolute unanimous decision win. He dominated the fight and sent Sam to the canvas in the 5th round. He landed over twice as many punches as his opponent despite throwing less. Since the loss Cavalier has not fought, instead saving his winning streak for this match. Sam has had one fight, and unanimous decision win over Marvis Frazier in which he floored Frazier 3 times, and lost almost every other round.

Sinan Samil Sam's Keys to Victory--
-- He needs to be more accurate. Currently the wildest boxer in the UHB he wears himself out by missing punches.
-- Defense must improve. Pasted over 400 times in the first fight, not a good omen coming into tonight.
-- Combinations. Wear Cavailer out and you may be able to get to him. Cavalier has only been down 4 times and stopped inside 10 rounds 1 time. You cannot get him with one punch.

Paul Cavalier's Keys to Victory--
--Box-Box-Box. Sam has never been knocked out, but if you hit a building 400 times, eventually it will fall.
-- Let Sam wear himself out. Duck and Move, let him throw, miss and run after you. His stamina won't hold out forever.
-- Keep doing what got you here.
-- Respect Sam's power. He only has 2 KO's but has floored his opponent 19 times. You don't want to be number 20.

The winner, my majority decision....AND STILL HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD......PAUL CAVALIER!

This was a good fight. To his credit, Sam fought much better this time around then in his last title fight. His defense was still poor, and he was again hit twice as many times and he still through more punches. But, he did put Cavalier down in the second and looked to end it right then and there. Cavalier came back strong in the 3rd and the 4th and 5th rounds were wars. In fact, the only round that was a little slow was round 10. Sam could not solve the solid skills of Paul Cavalier, in the end again, he was the better fighter. Will his career follow that of Al Reich, who lost and lost the rematch? Stay tuned.

*****UHB/Ring Magazine Rankings*****

A little side note. I have not posted any rankings to this point because I felt that the Federation was too young to really be able to rank the fighters. Up til now rankings have been word of mouth. Now, from time to time, there will be rankings. Some will be official while some will be unofficial, such as from other publications. Fighters need to have 10 fights under their belts before they are really considered to be ranked. Thanks.

Here are the official UHB rankings brought to you by Ring Magazine:

Champion -- Paul Cavalier
#1 -- Marvis Frazier
#2 -- Sinan Samil Sam
#3 -- Jack Gardner
#4 -- Alex Stewart
#5 -- Ralph Ficucello
#6 -- Al Reich
#7 -- Riccardo Bertazzolo
#8 -- Ed Mahone
#9 -- Jack Munroe

**********LIVE! From the Hammerstien Ballroom, USA! UHB Professional Boxing **********

Opener
Gene Jones 0-1-0 v. Jack Munroe 4-7-0 (1)

Youngster Gene Jones steps up to take on journeyman Jack Munroe. For Jones, this looks to be an easier fight than his debut against Jack Gardner. Munroe is here for the paycheck and Jones looks to test his skills. Oddsmakers 2-1 Jones

Prelim 1
David Tua 2-0-0 (1) v. Jorge Brescia 2-4-0 (1)

David Tua has looked good in his first 2 fights and has a mild challenge in Brescia. Brescia has not beaten anyone good. His only wins were against the now retired Ed Jones, and Murray Gitlitz. Funny thing is that is the 2 wins for David Tua as well. Sort of ironic isn't it? Oddsmakers 5-1 Tua

Prelim 2
Ed Mahone 5-6-0 (3) v. Buster Douglas 4-0-0 (2)

Ed Mahone looks to be the fighter to ruin Douglas' perfect record. For Douglas, Mahone is not his toughest opponent, but if he screws up, Mahone can drop the hammer on him. Douglas could knock out Mahone, his chin isn't that good, or he can beat him with boxing. Or maybe he won't beat him at all. Oddsmakers 4-1 Douglas

Support
Ralph Ficucello 6-5-1 (3) v. Jack Gardner 9-4-0 (2)

Gardner is looking to kill 2 birds with one stone. He can win and forget about his loss to Bertazzolo, and he can win and avenge his loss to Ficucello earlier. Ficucello's career hasn't advanced very far since his win. He has beated 2 low ranked fighters but lost to Buster Douglas and Bruce Seldon. A win for him here can straighten things back out again. Oddsmakers 3-1 Gardner

Co-Feature
Sinan Samil Sam 9-4-1 (2) v. Bruce Seldon 4-3-0 (2)

Sam wants a win, but he has picked a dangerous opponent. Seldon has potential, but the highest ranked fighter that he has beaten is Ralph Ficucello. Sam is the defending champ. Seldon's stock is on the rise and be is biting at the chance against the former champ. For Sam he just wants a win. Oddsmakers 2-1 Seldon

Main Event
Marvis Frazier 14-6-2 (1) v. Alex Stewart 6-4-0 (3)

This is a premier matchup. Frazier is ranked higher, but has lost to Stewart before. Stewart can box with Frazier, and has the power to kill Frazier. To Frazier's credit he is a good boxer, he has the skills to outbox Stewart, but his chin will be tested greatly. Oddsmakers 2-1 Stewart

Gene Jones by unanimous decision.

As expected Munroe is nothing more than a speed bump in the career's of better fighters. Jones gets the win by never really hurting Munroe. He outworked him and each round he won, he won easy. There was no real good toe to toe round, so I guess the opener slot was good for this fight.

The winner, by KO, at 2:04 of 9th round......David Tua!

Comp U Box
Tua 140/644
Brescia 167/440

Tua was ahead on all 3 scorecards.

David Tua took Brescia to the cleaners. Although he won almost all the rounds, he looked sloppy doing so. His saving grace was constantly pounding Brescia with hugh blows, and winning each round with ease. In the end, his power finally got the best of Brescia and he could not answer the count. The young fighter earns good win at the expense of the less than stellar Brescia.

Ed Mahone 5-6-0 (3) v. Buster Douglas 4-0-0 (2)

Mahone was scheduled on short notice and didn't get full training, Douglas looks well prepared.

Round 5: Mahone has a split lip. Douglas

Comp U Box
Mahon 47/81
Douglas 234/450

Douglas was ahead on all 3 scorecards.

If this fight would have gone for 10 rounds it would have been one supreme ass whiping. 234 punches landed in 6 rounds? WOW! Mahone pretty much just stood there and from the opening bell was like a sparring partner. Maybe he should look at doing some of that if this is the way he wants to fight. He still can be dangerous, but he was not today. Douglas looked very impressive and his name may start to jump to the list of title contenders. He has some more boxers to go through before he gets there.

Now this was more like the fight the fans came to see. Two fighers who have a little history pound on each other like the loser is going to die. By the end 7th round it looked like it was going to be another tough loss for the title-shot hopeful Gardner. Boy did he ever come back. He won the fight in the last 3 rounds. For Ficucello it was a tough loss, he did very well, but in the end he was a beaten fighter. He was as surprised as Gardner was when he nearly KO'ed him in the second. This is so far the fight if the night. So how much does it mean when #3 beats #5? Is he ready for prime time?

Some things that came out of this fight. #1 The former champ was beaten. #2 The former champ was knocked down for the second time in his career. #3 The good Bruce Seldon showed up. #4 The good Bruce Seldon is good. #4 Sinan Samil Sam's defense, or lack thereof probably cost him the fight. This was a big blow to the former champ. He was hoping to get another win and put himself back in line for a title shot. Now he falls with a loss to an inexperienced fighter in Seldon. Seldon my look to step up his competition again in the hopes of getting a title shot. Either way this match was a plus.

The scorecards were all even.

Frazier was executing his gameplan and doing what he needed to until he got caught with a shot. He was landing well, although neither fighter was proabably throwing enough. Stewart wins his 4th fight by KO, and by knocking out the #1 contender proves that he should be at or near the top. His power is a force to be rekoned with. As far as Frazier goes, his chin, like Sam's defense could lead to his eventual downfall from the top ranked fighters in the UHB. He needs to work on that in training.

**********LIVE! From Valley Arena, in the USA...UHB Professional Boxing**********

Opener
David Bostice 1-4-2 v. Gene Jones 1-1-0

Bostice seems destined for opener status and is in the middle of a 3 match losing streak. Jones recently grabbed his first win, meanwhile Bostice is hoping a young Jones proves to be an easy target. This looks to be a less than stellar matchup. I am sorry for this, but I will make it up to you later. Oddsmakers 2-1 Jones

Prelim 1
Murray Gitlitz 2-7-1 (1) v. Gus Ruhlin 3-5-0 (2)

A couple fighters who have fallen on hard times. Gitlitz has made no impact in the UHB while Ruhlin is best known for his debut. Since then he has fallen off the planet. This should be an easy fight for him. For Gitlitz this is an opportunity to fight a fighter who has been ranked higher. A win here would be important for his career. A loss wouldn't change much. Oddsmakers 5-2 Ruhlin

Prelim 2
Riccardo Bertazzolo 9-8-1 (5) v. James Tillis 3-4-0 (1)

Bertazzolo recently beat Jack Gardner and then lost to Buster Douglas. Tillis is not up to either of those fighters standards so you would think that he would be the favorite. Right? Wrong! Tillis has fought some very tough competition and is probably not getting the respect that he deserves. His record doesn't look that good, but he has beaten Samil Sam. His losses are to 2 Champs and an currently undefeated fighter. Bertazzolo is known to have a good punch but what else can he bring? He has consistently beaten lower level fighters while losing to upper level fighers. So where does Tillis fit in and how will he do against him. Oddsmakers 5-1 Tillis

Support
Al Reich 7-5-0 (2) v. Ralph Ficucello 6-6-1 (3)

This is a very interesting match. Reich is a former champ who has lost some fights against tough boxers while Ficucello is a tough boxer who has lost, while giving good fighters a real beating. Are you with me so far? Ficucello recently lost a close fight to Jack Gardner, but is 3-5 in his last 8 fights. Reich has lost 3 straight to Frazier, Gardner, and Stewart. This should be a very entertaining fight and one the oddsmakers are having trouble with. Oddsmakers Pick'em

Co-Feature
Bruce Seldon 5-3-0 (2) v. Buster Douglas 5-0-0 (3)

This could be the main even, but the promters aren't sure that Seldon is that marketable yet. His big win over Samil Sam has helped him, but losses have not given him the respect that he feels that he deserves. Douglas is the guy that noone wants to fight. Undefeated, with 3 KO's he could be a dangerous road to the title bound contender. Seldon is taking that chance in the hopes that is improves his respectability. Douglas is taking a good step forward against a upper eschelon fighter in Seldon. Seldon is known to be a big puncher, but then so was Alex Stewart and Douglas managed a win there too. This will be a good one. Oddsmakers Pick'em


Main Event
Paul Cavalier UHB Champion 11-3-3 (2) v. Jack Gardner 10-4-0 (2)

This one is for the title. Cavalier beat Gardner by unanimous desicion in a previous fight. Gardner is 6-1 in his last 7 fights with only a shocking loss to Riccardo Bertazzolo in a tournament. Cavalier has won 7 in a row. This is Cavalier's 2nd title defense after his beating of Samil Sam in their rematch. This too should be an outstanding matchup. Oddsmakers 3-2 Gardner

The looks like a good, close fight on paper. Unfortunately, the only reason is its close is because neither fighter could do anything. Some rounds were nearly impossible to score due to the low amount of action. Jones appears to be unable to hit the broad side of a barn, and against a 1-4 figher that doesn't bode well for his potential. As for Bostice he loses his 4th match in a row and he has to be thinking about potential retirement in his future.

This was an entertaining fight. In the begining Ruhlin was very dominant, and was looking to finish Gitlitz off early. However, Gitlitz came back and landed several big blows that hurt Ruhlin although he was never able to put him down. Ruhlin appeared to take the middle rounds off, but had enough sense of mind to win the latter rounds. He did win this fight pretty easily, and one more loss for Gitlitz isn't hurting his career anymore.

James Tillis by unanimous decision.

This was a descent fight. It was close, and the second round knockdown suffered by Bertazzolo pretty much cost him the fight. He did have other opportunites though. The last 3 rounds were very quiet. Both fighters were struggling to do anything and he could have siezed on that opportinity, but was unable. He looked worse than Tillis did when the fight was over. Tillis was unimpressive in a fight that he was the heavy favorite. He landed a good portion of punches, but just didn't throw enough in my book. A win in a win though, and he will be happy to have this one. Bertazzolo just draws a finer line between who he will and won't beat in his fighter record.

Al Reich by unanimous decision.

What fight were judges #2 and #3 watching. The fight that I saw looked much more like the first judge. 99-91??? Reich looked more like his old form in this fight. His defense was good, and landed effective punches. He is not a big hitter like some others, but he had enough to put Ralph down twice. In my opinion Ficucello looked like he was going to steal this one until he got caught in the 8th. It was all downhill from there as he ran for cover. Reich used his stamina to his advantage and never even tired out, while Ficucello's missed punches flat wore him out.

The winner, by split decision.....Bruce Seldon!

A big see-saw contest that saw both fighters on the canvas and saw judges split on the winner makes for a very entertaining fight. This was the fight that the crowd deserved as the fighters went back and forth. Both fighters landing punishing blows and taking big punches. So Buster Douglas is no longer perfect, but I think that he gaines respect in this fight. Seldon is a tough customer and depending on how he keeps fighting should be ranked quite highly soon. Seldon has just entered his name into the list for likely title contenders. He still needs a fight or two to win, but this was a big step. Granted, Douglas is no Paul Cavalier, but he was undefeated and gave him one helluva fight. Seldon and Stewart might be on another collision course and this time the winner might get a title shot.

UHB Title Fight Preview

Tonight, we have a matchup for the UHB title. Paul Cavalier will be defending his UHB title against the challenger, Jack Gardner. Oddsmakers have favored Gardner in this fight looking past his loss against Riccardo Bertazzolo. Cavalier has looked unstoppable on his road to the title, as he knocked off Sinan Samil Sam and then beat him in the rematch. Gardner is granted the title shot because of the loss of Marvis Frazier to Alex Stewart. Coupled with Gardner's recent victory over Ralph Ficucello and Alex Stewart.

Paul Cavalier's Key's to Victory --
-- The first fight was dominated by Cavalier. He needs to control the fight and land the better punches.
-- Cavalier is the most accurate puncher in the UHB. That needs to continue.
-- Do not underestimate Gardner. He is much better than he was the first time they fought.

Jack Gardner's Key's to Victory--
-- Will the real Jack Gardner please step forward?
-- Forget about the first fight, or the loss against Bertazzolo. Right now, they don't matter.
-- Figure out a way to get Cavalier to miss. Wear him down and be smart with your energy.

The winner, by TKO, at 2:50 of round 2........and NEW UHB Champion...Jack Gardner!

Comp U Box
Cavalier 19/36
Gardner 53/196

Cavalier was ahead on all 3 scorecards.

This was proabably one of the most unexpected results that you could have imagined. Especially the way that Cavalier had dominated the first fight. The first round was a lot like the first fight with Cavalier scoring at will. In the second Gardner tagged him with a good combination and the stunned Cavalier went down. He answered the count, but Gardner unleased the holy hounds of hell. He landed blow after blow until the ref could not take it any more. Of course Cavalier argued with the ref for a good 3 minutes about stopping the fight. You can pretty much count on a rematch here.

********* LIVE! From Philadelphia Stadium in the USA.....UHB Professional Boxing!**********

Opener
Jorge Brescia 2-5-0 (1) v. David Bostice 1-5-2

This match has all the earmarks of a horrible, horrible fight. Neither fighter has much left to prove except that neither one is going to ever get a title fight. Having said that, this is tonights opener. Basically a free fight, and not figured into the cost of your ticket. Oddmakers Pick'em

Prelim 1
Gus Ruhlin 4-5-0 (2) v. Ed Mahone 5-7-0 (3)

An interesting match. They have never fought before now, and both have beaten a much better fighter only to have fallen into the abyss. Both have since failed in attempts at better opponents so here they are now. Trying to make more out of their careers. Oddsmakers 3-1 for Ruhlin

Prelim 2
Ralph Ficucello 6-7-1 (3) v. James Tillis 4-4-0 (1)

Another match similar to the first. Tillis is coming off of a nice win over Riccardo Bertazzolo. Ficucello represents a bigger challenge, however Ficucello has lost 3 straight fights. I would think that Ralph would be favored here but the oddmakers think otherwise. Oddsmakers 2-1 for Tillis

Support
David Tua 3-0-0 (2) v. Gene Jones 2-1-0

Tua has torn through some of the UHB fighters and now moves on to fight an inexperienced Jones. This does represent a step up for both fighters involved and that is why it warrents a support bout. Jones loss came from the UHB champ Jack Gardner, so he has already fought a tougher opponent. How much will that benefit him. Word on the street is that Tua took this fight on short notice. Oddsmakers 7-2 for Tua

Co-Feature
Sinan Samil Sam 9-5-1 (2) vs. Alex Stewart 7-4-0 (4)

Both fighters are real bangers and should put on quite a nice show tonight. Sam, the former Champ lost in his last fight to Bruce Seldon and looks to fight another rising star in Stewart. Stewart is coming off of back to back KO's and wants to put his name in the hat for title contender. Oddsmakers 2-1 for Stewart

Main Event
Bruce Seldon 6-3-0 (2) v. Buster Douglas 5-1-0 (3)

The fight that was demanded by the loyal fans of the UHB! The rematch! Douglas-Seldon II! The first match was seen as a robbing of the formerly undefeated Buster Douglas. Douglas, who had landed far more punches and floored Seldon ended up losing the fight. The rematch tonight will give both fighters the chance to answer to the critics and their fans.

See there you have it. In one of the most boring fights in the history of the UHB, noone wins! The announcers had Bostice winning the fight and I had it a draw. But when your opponent throws twice as many punches as you do and you still land more punches shouldn't you win automatically? Oh well, neither fighter gains or loses anything.

I had though that this fight might end in a KO, but what I hadn't counted on was that Ruhlin would get it. Mahone lets his true colors show through again. His chin just cannot be counted on. For Gus, another win to build on as he looks to move up the rankings.

Comp U Box
Ficucello 236/644

Ficucello was way, way, way, way ahead on all 3 scorecards.

Where were Tillis vaughnted defense and boxing skills? Where was his punching accuracy? Ficucello again, showed that given the right situation he is as dangerous as any fighter in the UHB. He kicked Tillis' ass from one side of the ring to the other, and suffered KD after KD, until he couldn't take it anymore. Ficucello needed this win badly, he didn't want to fall in the rankings any further than he already had. Tillis may need some therapy and a new coach who will actually train him for fights like this instead of just stroking his ego.

Gene Jones by unanimous decision.

Let me start by saying that there was a lot of money lost on this fight. Of all the fights on the card tonight, this one, was the closest thing to a sure thing. Lots of booing and throwing of things into the ring. To Tua's credit......not a goddamn thing. He sucked like a girl on prom night. Jones had him beat by the 3rd round and he knew it. He had no answer and looked dumbfounded after the 3 times he was knocked down. He was lucky just to finish the fight. A good fight for Jones who gained a level of respect with this win.

Well, Alex Stewart fooled us all. He fought as good, and as hard as he has been fighting. Sinan Samil Sam has just lost again, and now looks up at a long road back to the top. Can he do it? Or will he join Al Reich in the land of the also-rans. Either way, he will always be able to lay claim that at one time he was the Champion of the UHB.

Well, that didn't solve anything did it? Or, now Seldon hasn't lost to Douglas in 2 consecutive fights. I think that the case for Douglas is a little weaker this time. He was knocked down twice after all. Both were one punch flash knockdowns and both surprised the hell out of Buster. Both fighters are tough customers and neither can be taken lightly. As far as title contenders go, Seldon has to be considered the higher ranked of the two.
