Re: Unified Boxing Federation (Glory Days Boxing)

UBF RUMOR MILL

Several reports, quoting anonymous sources, have surfaced that the Unified Boxing Federation is planning to add 2 more weight classes in the not-to-distant future. The reports, citing sources with knowledge of the situation, claim that the UBF is looking to add a light heavyweight division in as early as 2004 and that a longer-term plan is being considered to add a featherweight division in as early as 2005.

The sources indicate that closed door meetings have been held between UBF President steelerfan and Glory Days Boxing representatives including AZYankee to discuss the matters. Neither steelerfan nor AZYankee were willing to comment on the rumors.

In other news, the UBF is reportedly considering allowing it's most infamous fan, Money99, to once again attend fights. In July 2002 Money99 created quite a stir in the UBF when he threw a bottle that struck Joe Frazier in the 2nd round of his fight with David Tua.

The fight was ruled No Contest after police and security restored order. Money99 eventually served 147 days of a 180-day sentence stemming from the incident and was alleged to have received a lifetime ban from attending federation events. However, George Chuvalo, whose perceived slighting was being protested that night by Money99, wore a robe with "Free Money99" embroidered on it as he entered the ring for his October 2002 fight with Tyson Fury.

The robe sparked a movement and many fighters, including Frazier, have since said that Money99 has repaid his debt to society and should be allowed to support the sport once again. Stay tuned.

[Money99]

Re: Unified Boxing Federation (Glory Days Boxing)

I've always been a huge fan of Frazier's. This only solidifies my love for Smokin Joe!

Really tough pull for Sullivan to get Tyson for his debut.
Hope he's able to rebound.

Judges: 96-93, 98-92, 97-93
Artemiev suffered a cut right eye in the 5th round and a knockdown in the 6th as Canzoneri won with ease on all three scorecards. Artemiev is 0-2-0 (0) and Canzoneri is now 2-0-0 (0).

LW- Carlos Ortiz and Tracy Spann bout ruled No Contest
At 2:54 of Round 3 of the night's second bout, a structural issue caused a portion of one of the ring's neutral corners to collapse. No one was injured but the sagging corner led to the fight being cancelled along with the rest of the night's card.

With infamous UBF super fan Money99 set to attend Saturday night's 7-bout card, rumors began to fly that he was behind the collapse. Money99 had previously been banned from attending UBF events for throwing a bottle that struck Joe Frazier during his July 2002 fight with David Tua. That incident led to the Frazier-Tua bout being ruled a No Contest and Money99 being sentenced to 180 days in jail.

Within an hour of the ring collapse, UBF President steelerfan held a press conference in which he addressed the ring issue and the rumors. In part, he stated, "the ring collapse was caused by a structural failure. I assure you, any scenario that you may have heard involving sabotage is simply false."

In addition to Ortiz-Spann the following fights were cancelled and steelerfan said there is no immediate plan to reschedule any of them:

1. WW- #27 Aaron Davis 1-0-0 (0) vs #26 Billy Collins 0-1-0 (0)
2. WW- #31 Andre Berto NR vs #30 Henry Armstrong NR
3. WW- #39 Adolfo Viruet 0-1-0 (0) vs #38 Young Corbett III 0-1-0 (0)
