Bradley dominates, KOs Rios

By Miguel Maravilla at ringside

WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (33-1-1, 13 KOs) scored a ninth round KO over former world champion Brandon Rios (33-3-1, 24 KOs) on Saturday night at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas. It was a good action fight with lots of exchanges. Bradley was too quick for the Rios, who came into the ring at 170 pounds. Bradley was much busier and very accurate with his punches. Bradley floored Rios in round nine, then put him on the deck again and referee Tony Weeks waved it off. Time was 2:49.

Wilder: I Can Beat Klitschko Tomorrow
Olly Campbell - November 10, 2015 - 64 comments

WBC heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder, set for a reprieve from his showdown with mandatory challenger, Alexander Povetkin until April or May 2016, believes if he were to face Wladimir Klitschko tomorrow, he would emerge the victor.

Long dominant WBA/WBO/IBF champion, Klitschko, first defends his titles against Britain’s Tyson Fury on the 28th in Germany, yet if he emerges victorious from that fight as many expect, then it will inevitably mean he’ll go looking to capture the green belt once owned by older brother Vitali, in order to become undisputed heavyweight champion before he retires.

The winner of April/May’s Wilder/Povetkin clash will ostensibly mean little to Wladimir, who has already scalped the Russian consensus #2 in a one sided fight in 2013, and will enter a considerable favourite in any unification next year with Wilder, should the American manage to hold off Povetkin’s claim to his belt, of course.

“If it was tomorrow, I could beat him,” Wilder recently told Forbes.com about Klitschko.

“I’ve improved so much since 2012, and he’s declining. He’s getting older. He’s not going to be the same as he was. We know each other, and I know how to beat him.

“I know what it takes. He doesn’t have as much energy as I do. I’m the toughest, the strongest and the fastest heavyweight he’s faced.”

Wilder is now free to make another voluntary defence of his title before any showdown with Povetkin, who wasn’t ready for the mandatory January date, given he has this month beaten Mariusz Wach, back home in Russia.

Wilder’s team are desperate for a more credible opponent for his next fight – a January 16 date on US broadcasting giant, Showtime – after he was slammed across the board for defences against unheralded school teacher, Eric Molina and little known Frenchman, Johann Duhaupas earlier this year, making hard work of both as advisor Al Haymon attempted to build him in his Alabama home state on the PBC platform.

There are rumours Wilder could fight Ukraine’s unbeaten contender, Vyeschlav Glazkov (21-0-1, 13 KOs), who controversially beat Steve Cunningham on the Kovalev-Pascal undercard earlier this year, although nothing is officially confirmed as yet.

Stiverne dropped, but wins comeback fight

Former WBC heavyweight world champion Bermane “B WARE” Stiverne (25-2-1, 21 KOs) recovered from a first round knockdown to hammer out a ten round unanimous decision over Derric Rossy (30-11, 14 KOs) on Saturday night at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Returning to the ring for the first time since losing his world title to Deontay Wilder in January, Stiverne was dropped on the seat of his pants by a Rossy right hand in round one. After that, the ex-champ’s heavier shots were the difference as he won a competitive unanimous decision 96-93, 96-93 and 95-94.
Deontay Wilder challenges Tyson Fury to world heavyweight unification bout

Deontay Wilder has challenged Tyson Fury to a unification fight to decide who is the world’s No1 heavyweight.

Anthony Joshua: World heavyweight title fight with Tyson Fury ‘will happen’

The American Wilder holds the WBC belt, while Fury’s surprising victory over Wladimir Klitschko means the Briton is the IBF, WBO and WBA champion.

Wilder told BBC Radio 5 Live: “I’ve got to fight someone in January and after that fight I would love to have a unification bout – and guess what, I wouldn’t mind coming to the UK for that one. No matter where it might be, I want to be the undisputed champion of the world.”

He added: “We haven’t had an undisputed champion in I can’t remember how long and I want to be the first name to bring the belts back together and heavyweight boxing back to its full potential.” Britain’s Lennox Lewis was the last undisputed champion in 1999.

Tyson Fury compares Klitschko win to ‘mongoose stealing eggs’.
“Next year is going to be a great year for me, regardless. Everything is falling in our plan, our time and our planning for what we want to do.”

Fury has dismissed the prospect of facing the former world champion David Haye, who is coming out of retirement, but is open to a rematch with Klitschko and fancies facing the British prospect Anthony Joshua further down the line.

Whether he fancies Wilder remains to be seen, with Fury initially deriding the 30-year-old, three years his senior, calling him “a basketball player who took up boxing a couple of years ago”.

The reality is that Wilder turned professional after taking bronze at the 2008 Olympics, and has a 35-0 professional record. “Let’s laugh at his name, shall we?” Fury said.

“Wladimir Klitschko was the No1 in the division. Probably the pound-for-pound king, whatever that means. So why would I be bothered about a novice like Wilder?”
