RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 12-02-2021 Heavys fight tomorrow, NZ time. https://fightnews.com/trillerverz-iv-weights-from-nyc/124990 RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 12-02-2021 https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/tyson-fury-wants-at-least-three-fights-next-year/207205 RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 12-02-2021 Hunter aiming for statement performance tonight WBA #2 ranked heavyweight Michael ‘The Bounty’ Hunter II, (20-1-1, 14 KOs) will rematch Jerry ‘Slugger’ Forrest, (26-4-1, 20 KOs) tonight in the TrillerVerz IV ten-round main event at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. Hunter defeated Forrest in 2014 by way of unanimous decision. Hunter, who is also world ranked #7 by the WBC and #6 by the WBO, is well are of the durability of Forrest. He was extended the full eight round distance for the first time in his career in their first fight. Stopping Forrest this time around would be impressive given Forrest’s ability to bounce back when hurt as shown in his most recent televised performance. How does it feel to be fighting in New York for the second consecutive time? I am excited to be back here. I am very comfortable and in the same hotel as last time. The atmosphere here is really good and I am ready to fight. How have you remained focused as Forrest was not your original opponent? I am professional and things like this happen in boxing. I have a very good team around me we stayed on track until the opponent was finalized. My weight is good and I am in excellent condition. I have been in training for this date for quite some time so I stayed focused and am well prepared. What do you most remember about your first fight with Forrest? I remember he had a very good chin. It was early on in my career and I used my skills en route to the clear decision victory. Do you feel that since he is seeking revenge he is coming in as a hungry fighter? I feel that I am entering the fight even hungrier. I trained and fought hard to get to where I am. I am not overlooking him at all. I am actually entering the fight on the B side as he is promoted by the local promoter Lou DiBella. I have been here before. I am coming in extremely motivated to win this fight. What were your thoughts seeing him in his draw versus unbeaten olympian Zhilei Zhang earlier this year? It looked like he might get stopped early on but he is very resilient came back on strong. It just shows you that he is a fighter that you cannot count out and will fight you up until the very end. How big would it be for you stop him tonight? I think it would make a statement. He has shown that it is no easy feat to stop him inside the distance. I think me stopping him would be meaningful. What are your immediate goals? It begins with me winning this fight tonight and fighting for and winning a world title in 2022. RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 12-03-2021 Results from New York City In a clash between undefeated heavyweights, former NFL player Mike Balogun (18-0, 14 KOs) destroyed Trey Lippe-Morrison (18-1, 17 KOs), the son of former world champion Tommy Morrison, in the first round. Balogun dropped Morrison, then swarmed him and got the referee’s stoppage. Time was 2:41. In another clash between undefeated heavyweights, ‘Gentleman’ George Arias (17-0, 7 KOs) took a workmanlike ten round split decision over Cassius ‘C.O.G.’Chaney (21-1, 14 KOs). Arias pressed the action while Chaney never got untracked. Scores were 96-94 Chaney, 99-91, 97-93 Arias. Heavyweight “Mighty” Joe Jones, (13-4, 9 KOs) knocked out Junior ‘Hurricane’ Wright, (18-4-1, 15 KOs) in round two. Jones floored Wright in round one and finished him 13 seconds into round two. Light heavyweight Khainell Wheeler (6-1, 5 KOs) outscored previously undefeated Frederic “The French Revolution” Julan (12-1, 10 KOs) over six rounds. Wheeler won by scores of 59-55, 59-55, 58-56. RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 12-03-2021 Hunter-Forrest draw, Balogun KOs Morrison WBA #2 ranked heavyweight Michael ‘The Bounty’ Hunter II (20-1-2, 14 KOs) and Jerry ‘Slugger’ Forrest (26-4-2, 20 KOs) battled to a hard-fought ten round draw on Thursday night at The Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. Forrest landed the heavier punches and busted up Hunter, but judges scored it 96-94 Hunter, 96-94 Forrest, 95-95. Forrest gets his second straight upset draw. RE: Heavyweight Division - bart - 12-03-2021 Geez Hunter must have stagnated RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 12-03-2021 Didn't see the fight, but yeah, Hunter is not earning his #2 ranking. Forrest is not all that. Sounded from the description that he should have won. RE: Heavyweight Division - bart - 12-04-2021 Yeah I read reports - apparently apart from rd 1 and 2 Hunter was dominated There is a man who has made poor career choices RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 12-04-2021 https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/a-bad-night-for-trey-lippe-morrison-and-cassius-chaney-while-jerry-forrest-and-michael-hunter-draw/207397 RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 12-05-2021 Former WBA heavyweight champion Lucas “Big Daddy” Browne (30-3, 26 KOs) scored a come-from-behind seventh round knockout over former Australian champion Faiga Opelu (14-3-1, 10 KOs) in a scheduled ten round bout to capture the WBA Oceana title. |
