Busy Week of Boxing
Thanks to everyone who came out to support us Saturday night at the Mohegan Sun Casino. Chip Perez fought well to earn a knockout at the conclusion of the 3rd round.
Highlights of the fight can be seen at the link below:

Two days before Chip’s fight, I worked Matt Godfrey’s corner in Providence. He too earned a knockout victory, early in the 5th round.
Now that I’m back home, I will get to responding to all of my emails from last week. I apologize for any delays. Thanks again for your consideration and support.

What an impressive fighter this guy is! The defense was out of this world.
The whole team is bound for future glory
Congrats! Best of luck in future bouts. Would like to see boxing once again return to its former popularity of the fifties, Ali era, and the eighties with Hagler, Leonard, Duran, Hearns, and of course Tyson. Don’t keep up with the sweet science like I used to, but I was wondering what are your thoughts on the British heavyweight David Price. The guy is about as big as Wlad and Vitali and is currently I believe 13-0 with 11 knockouts. Some say he could give the Klitschos some problems down the road. I’m thinking both Klitschkos like fighters like Marciano will be remembered far more favorably in the future than what they were while active. How many fighters have dominated a division for a decade?
Very nice.
@Eric – He’s still a long way off from competing at their level IMO. By the time he’s ready, the Klitschko brothers will likely be enjoying retirement. Vitali is already 41, while Wlad is 36.
Think of it this way, Price won a bronze in the 2008 Olympics. Wlad won a gold way back in 1996. Price won’t reach Wlad’s level any time soon.
Didn’t know Vitali was already past forty. Damn I remember when Ali fought Holmes at 38, and Holmes would turn around and fight Tyson at 38 years later. I thought 38 was ancient for a fighter, but Vitali seems to be holding up better than Larry and certainly better than a 38 year old Ali. I think both Klitschkos will crack the top 10 all-time rankings for heavyweights after people fairly assess their careers after they hang them up. In all honesty I really don’t see many past heavyweight greats beating either one of the Klitschkos. Ever since Lennox Lewis the big boys have gotten not only bigger and bigger but along with their great size they’re not sacrificing stamina, punching power, speed, or agility that usually comes with great size. These guys aren’t Primo Carnera or Jess Willard at all but instead they’re super large fighters with ability. The only greats I can see having a shot against either Klitschko would be like a Liston or a Foreman. Both would be dwarfed by either Klitschko but Liston or Foreman both have enough power to knockout a buffalo if they land right. Sorry Ali might be the greatest but he’s just too small at 6’3″ 212-215lbs and he doesn’t have a punch like a Liston or Foreman. Frazier or Tyson, sorry can’t even imagine it.
Nice documentary on boxing’s seedier side on Youtube. It’s about the Luis Resto-Billy Collins fight in 1983 where the padding was removed from Resto’s gloves. The bout was on the undercard of the Roberto Duran-Davey Moore fight. Tragically both Davey Moore and Billy Collins would die shortly afterwards. Moore would die in a freak accident and Billy Collins would committ suicide. Youtube:Assault Luis Resto.
