Final Results from Foxwoods: Dargan & Mchunu Walk Away With NABF Titles
In the main event of the afternoonn cruiserweights Thabiso "The Rock" Mchunu (17-1, 11 KOs) and Garrett "The Ultimate Warrior" Wilson (13-8-1, 7 KOs) faced off for the NABF Cruiserweight Title. The ten-round cruiserweight match-up between Mchunu's southpaw style and Wilson's wild style made for an exciting fight. Thabiso landed some clean shots and Wilson countered to no avail. The fifth round was slow with Wilson chasing down Mchunu and Wilson finally landing some shots. The ninth round started off with a bang, both fighters were trading big punches. The crowd began chanting for Wilson and the action started to pick up in the final round with both fighters coming out swinging. In the tenth, the referee deducted a point from Mchunu for holding, but it did not matter as Mchunu retained his NABF Cruiserweight Title with a unanimous decision victory (96-93, 99-90 and 98-91).
After the fight Mchunu said, "First of all thank God. Thank you for supporting me to all my fans in South Africa. My trainer, Sean, and my corner for getting me this victory smooth and easy. I would like to thank all of you for coming to the fight. I had it in mind it was going to be tough, really tough. It was as tough as I expected. He is a strong guy. I knew after three rounds it was going to be tough but then I nearly knocked him out. I knew it was going to be tough and I just can't go for the knockout. I knew it was going to go for the distance. I boxed him. I showed I can think in the ring. I'm smart. I'm fast and elusive." He added, "I want the WBC belt, there is a guy from Poland [Krzysztof Wlodarczyk] who got it so I am going for him. After that I will fight the other guys like Marco Huck [current WBO champion] and [Yoan Pablo] Hernandez."
"He's fast. I didn't quite listen to my corner like I was supposed to. I dropped the ball on this one but even if he wins that world title, I ain't done," explained Wilson. "I will be right back. It is just the beginning. I may not have gotten the NABF this time but I am going to be back as long as he is willing to rematch me. I wasn't listening to my corner and I paid for it. His defense was pretty good. His defense was really good and I couldn't figure it out the way I wanted to. He kept leaning down and I kept ending up over top of him. I have been making adjustments and hopefully we get a rematch going on. I am going at that belt. Let's keep it going."
Mchunu connected for for 54% (105 of 195) of his power punches whereas Wilson only connected for 23% (54 of 231). Also Mchunu (53 of 211 for 25%) threw more than two times as many jabs as Wilson (18 of 108 for 17%). The total punch comparison also favored Mchunu (158 of 406 for 39% compared to 72 of 339 for 21%).
"I thought I fought more aggressively this time, explained Perez. "I thought I got the win both times. I am not taking anything away from him and I have nothing against him but I thought I got the win." Mauras added, "We need an eight-rounder to make the determination. He came to fight and I always come to fight. I will fight him again or anyone else."

Training Camp Notes:
Angino "The Nightmare" Perez
"Nothing to Lose"
Davie, FL: As Angino "The Nightmare" Perez (17-5, 15 KOs) prepares, with his trainer, Javier Centeno, to face Karl "Dynamite" Dargan (16-0, 8 KOs) on Sept. 20 at Foxwoods Resort Casino and live on broadcast NBC Fight Night, he feels no pressure because, as Centeno puts it, "He has nothing to lose." Angino, or Gino as he is known to those closest to him, is a 31 year old junior welterweight who accepted a fight with the undefeated Dargan at lightweight for the Junior NABF Lightweight Title because the pressure would all be on Dargan. According to Centeno, "Gino is the type of guy that always feels the pressure is on the other guy. He has nothing to lose. He is going in against a guy that is undefeated. Gino has some losses on his record. He's the type of fighter that is just going to go out there, do his work and whatever the outcome is, it is."
For the first time in a long time, Perez and his team have adequate time to prepare at Sweatbox Boxing and Fitness in Davie, FL. For his last several fights, Perez had only one to two weeks' notice but, this time, the Miami native has ample time to prepare. He said, "I am managing myself and promoting myself and there have been no good fights offered to me. The fights I have been offered in the past were always on short notice where I didn't have time to train." But this time is different according to Centeno, "At this point in his career, we want to make a run for something so we need to make sure that we strategize. We need to make sure we get at least five to six weeks minimum training camp before each fight. Training camp has been different because we have been able to work our way into a routine. In the past he had no strategy to do anything; his training camp consisted of getting into the gym, skipping rope, hitting the bags, getting in some sparring and that's it. We've been working on his strength, his endurance and his power and we have been sparring in between as well."
With regards to sparring, Perez and Centeno wanted to find sparring partners to emulate Dargan's style. Centeno said, "I watched Dargan's last fight with Flores as well as his previous fight with Chazz McDowell. We know that Dargan is a counter puncher but he can also be very aggressive. We have been trying to get him in the ring with guys that can do both. Gino likes to bang. He likes to get in there but he's getting older and, if he wants to survive in the fight game, he's going to have to adapt a little bit. We are preparing for everything: preparing for if Dargan comes in aggressive and preparing for Dargan being a counter-puncher."
This fight requires Perez to step down in weight from junior welterweight to lightweight. According to Perez, he has had to make several adjustments to his diet to come in at the lower weight, "This time I am eating healthy and my body feels a lot different and stronger. We have sparred with a lot of heavier guys. I am taking things more serious. I finally decided to take my career into my own hands." Therefore, Centeno is not concerned about Perez making the weight for Sept. 20, "We know he can make the weight and make it comfortably. He's been eating right; his diet has been completely changed. He is just very lean and strong."
Dropping down to a lower weight class sometimes means losing power, but Centeno does not think that will be a problem for Perez because they have been sparring with heavier opponents, "Because Gino has some pop behind his punches, and we tend to go through a lot of the lighter guys pretty quickly. We wanted to make sure we were getting some heavier guys in who can really bang so they can take some of his power. Our sparring sessions have really impressed me. He is really strong even against some of these heavier guys. We have had guys in there sparring with him at 165 or 170, they are getting hit and they are feeling it."

BERNARD HOPKINS AND SERGEY KOVALEV NEW YORK CITY PRESS CONFERENCE AND PHILADELPHIA MEDIA ROUNTABLE
QUOTES AND PHOTOS

NEW YORK (Sept. 2, 2014) -Bernard "The Alien" Hopkins and Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev held a press conference in New York City and a media roundtable in Philadelphia Tuesday to officially announce their light heavyweight unification bout on Saturday, Nov. 8 taking place at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City live on HBO World Championship Boxing®.
Check out what the fighters and promoters had to say below:
BERNARD HOPKINS, WBA & IBF Light Heavyweight World Champion
"When fighters want to fight, this is what happens. When we really want to do it and our promoters do as well, we get it done.
"I take everything I do extremely seriously. But people ask me, how can I continue to do this? I have no plan or timetable when I put my mind to something.
"I want the best. Hagler fought the best. Ray Leonard fought the best. The Alis of the world, they fought the best. I'm from the era where I fought the best and that's important to me. I receive undisputed status in 2001 and that was special.
"I bloomed late. I didn't bloom by the timing of the experts. I want to make it as difficult as possible for you to come up with a headline for me. I don't want to be on the pound-for-pound list because that would make me human.
"What I'm doing now is making a new legacy and a new list and a new way to judge. 'Where do we put this man? We can't put him in the top 10. He's doing things no one has done!'
"Enjoy this while you can and come see it. Don't worry about when or how I'm going to leave or break down. You guys are all humans, I understand you, but you don't understand me.
"The last time I heard, he [Kovalev] can box. He's shown that he can box...People are traumatized by the punch and the knockout.
"I've been in the game for almost three decades. I look for more of what a guy brings to a gunfight other than bullets...The sweet science is not based on only one thing you can do particularly well.
"If he comes in the game thinking a punch is all he'll need, he might be right, so you should watch.
"I'm walking a tightrope hundreds of feet in the air. He crushes people. Only three or four people survive his hammer.
"There's no pressure on me but one thing that is on Bernard Hopkins - that no other fighter really has to do deal with because they've never been in my situation is - how I continue to keep making history
"Anybody at the right time and the right place can get knocked out. It is his job to do what others try to do. It is my job to do what I've been doing.
"Come November 8 on HBO you get to watch artwork. You're watching Miles Davis and Louis Armstrong with gloves on.
"It's such a testimony to see a 50-year-old man - less than 100 days from now - go 30 plus minutes with a young strong Russian puncher and not get a scratch on him.
"I understand humans have a timeline of when they are supposed to go. Age 35 and you're done - I don't care what sport you're in. It's a fact. I don't know what type of evidence I need to show I'm an alien other than what is there."
SERGEY KOVALEV, WBO Light Heavyweight World Champion
"It is not easy to overlook Hopkins. I think when he's 60 years old he'll be in the same condition. He's an alien, but I have to send him to the moon and maybe from there he'll go by himself to Mars.
"I want to say that one day in Big Bear when I trained, I met Oscar De La Hoya and asked him to sign me and he turned me down, but now here we are on different sides.
"I am not a talker, I am a fighter and I am sure Bernard will promote the fight for both of us.
"I don't really understand what Bernard is saying. It doesn't matter what he says. Even if I understood, I wouldn't care. I don't worry about him. I'll go into the ring and do my job.
"Bernard talks and fights. I just fight.
"I can't say what the fight will be like. This is boxing and anything can happen.
"It is my secret what I will do on fight night. I will give it my all and come out with the win."
OSCAR DE LA HOYA, President & Founder of Golden Boy Promotions
"This fight is the best against the best in the light heavyweight division.
"I really do feel that this is not just a fight, but an event. I am glad that it's on HBO and I'm glad its not on pay-per-view, which it easily could have been, but you have to give credit to the fighters who are doing it for the fans.
"I believe that many people over the years have doubted Bernard Hopkins. He's over 40-years-old, how can he win? All of those questions are no longer being asked. Everything that he does, he deserves.
"At 49-years-old, being the oldest champion in any sport, he deserves tons of respect. The fact that he's facing the 'Krusher,' is just another of the many dangerous fighters that Bernard has faced.
"Being the best middleweight in the history of this sport, with 20 defenses and now to be 49 at light heavyweight, he's still going strong. I'm now convinced he is an Alien."
KATHY DUVA, CEO of Main Events
"This fight is going to be the most anticipated fight of 2014. It's so much fun putting together a fight like this that everyone wants to see. Its great to see the excitement level and the anticipation, you can feel it in the air.
"This is going to be a tremendous event. It's one of those fights that when the bell rings you really won't know what is going to happen. It's not about finding out who's best, its about who is going to win the fight, because both are great.
"This is what boxing is supposed to be and we look forward to November 8.
"The first person I thought of when I saw Sergey Kovalev in the ring was Ray Leonard. I saw the look in his eye and I could tell he was different. I believe he is the most electrifying boxer in the world of boxing and he will prove it on November 8."
KEN CONDON, Caesar's Entertainment Consultant
"This is an Atlantic City fight, it's in Bernard's backyard and this is where the fight belongs.
"Sergey has also developed a great following from his last two fights in Atlantic City.
"Caesar's stepped up to the plate and continued its tradition of great championship boxing in Atlantic City. We believe in the future of Atlantic City and we believe in boxing. We expect a sellout on November 8."
AARON DAVIS, NJSAC Director
"November 8 is going to be a nice fight with premier fighters and premier promoters. We want to keep on the legacy that we have created in New Jersey."

Green and pail, sick to my stomach, I want to scream; like the Hulk when he's changing, transforming into something big, huge and green!
Illness and green have a lot in common, and so does Marvels Mr Green... They both transform you, rip and tear at you until you're almost unseen!
Both a big and scary making people run! Some run away from you screaming with fear. And others stand still, looking on unable to believe what their eyes are seeing!
Both make you stand out sometimes, "She the one that turns green!" - No longer hidden to those who know you, but to those who don't - your just an "Ordinary man!" You blend into the crowd, no one batts even an eye... But then it happens, you feel yourself being ripped and torn... You're sick! You're Green! In sheer and complete horror you ran as fast as you can, not wanting people to see you, to see you turn green!
As you're transforming, being torn and ripped, it takes the green from with in you, it takes the unseen. It puts it on display for the the world to see! Now you're strange, you're different you're a monster that needs to be slain. Little do you or they know something you slowly start to figure out... I'm green! I'm green, I'm big, I'm scary, but I'm still me! I'm still in here, but all you see is green! You may call me "Weak." "A monster." Or even "Ugly." Or "Freak." Yes I'm a monster, big and scary and green! I'm a strong, kick ass person that only you wish that you could be! Now you're green with envy, jealous of the attention, the looks, the getting talked about! You run before, you ran far and wide, but now you see I'm the same person it makes you transform into envy, green, dark and mean! The difference between us is that I am super strong. I am different but that's okay no need to run, because you've known all along underneath it was me. But you chose your side, you were ashamed of me! Now a rip and tear, turn green and scream, but I will always know now that I'm a beast of beauty and power, and you're the one that's "Average & Normal!" You are the one who is unseen, but inside you're a monster ugly and green! You're toxic and selfish and weak! I could easily step on you, but I choose to be kind and step beside you, not over you as you never did. I choose to be strong and kind even in my weakened body I'm still stronger than you! It's your choice to be a monster, it's your choice to be mean. I choose to be kind and caring, but I didn't choose to be green! So try next time to understand someone as they change and transform - they may have something "Different." Now about them, but it's still me... Whether or not you choose to see! I'm proud, saddened, burdened and lucky... Because I'm strong enough to be green and still choose to be me! Because I am strong, I am different, and perhaps I've been tested; either way, I now realise it's okay, I'm not alone, they may not be me, but there are "others!" That turn, change and transform even to the colour green!!!
