Lamon Brewster KO5 Wladimir Klitschko

By Alex Pierpaoli

Nine years ago today Lamon Brewster stopped Wladimir Klitschko after five rounds in a see-saw heavyweight bout at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada. Klitschko dominated most of the first three rounds save for a lunging Brewster jab to Wlad's chin in the third that drew some gasps from the crowd. In round four Klitschko roeally opened up with that canon-blast one-two up the middle that is his signature. Brewster went down first and though ruled a slip he looked stunned. Seconds later Klitschko blasted him with another straight right that flattened for an eight count.. Brewster survives the round and scores a tackle in the final seconds. What happens in the fifth is the last time Wladimir Klitschko has lost as a pro. And watching it again it really seems as though Klitschko should have been given the 60 seconds in the corner to try and compose himself. What do you think?

NCBA Finals- 12 boxers win championships at Foxwoods!

National College Boxing Champions Crowned at Foxwoods

Last night the Fox Theater at Foxwoods Resort & Casino in Mashantucket, CT, was the site of the National Collegiate Boxing Association Championships. Teams from across the country, both military academies as well as private universities, competed in twelve weight classes in order to determine the best in each division. The bouts were all 3 two-minute round contests in which combatants wore headgear and the amateur rules of punch-counting by five ringside judges applied; fights were scored according to punches landed, sheer quantity, rather than in professional prize-fighting where damage done is valued more highly.

So many of the 65 total bouts, over the course of the three day tourney, were exciting, competitive contests featuring fist-flying action and young, hungry fighters with courageous hearts and exceptional reflexes. Despite its differences with the professional version of the sport, the tourney was chock full of what fans love about boxing, the action, and was very light on what plagues the sport, controversy. Unlike in the London Olympics this past summer where ESPN’s Teddy Atlas spent most of that tournament railing against bad decisions, both real and imagined, there were only a handful of fights that ended in a way that this observer might hope to dispute. And the major difference was that unlike what happens every weekend in the pro-ranks, the decisions one could argue with in this tourney were indisputably close, heated contests that could go either way and in a subjective sport some variance of opinion is to be expected.

At the end of the evening it was the US Military Academy at West Point’s team that dominated, claiming 6 of

Semi-Finals 2013 NCBA College Boxing Tourney at Foxwoods

NCBA Tourney Semi-Final Recap

Last night Foxwoods Resort & Casino hosted Day Two of the 2013 National College Boxing Association Championship in the Fox Theater. The crowd was small but enthusiastic and they were rewarded with twenty-four exciting contests.

In a tournament like this all of the athletes involved are geared-up to win and it’s no surprise that almost every bout is action-packed. Combine that with the 3 2-minute round format of the bouts and you end up with boxers who need to work and work right now at the sound of that opening bell. Overall, that’s exactly what fans have seen over the course of days one and two of the tournament. The finals begin tonight at 7pm eastern and we’ll be covering them live via Twitter from ringside.

Read on for a recap of last night’s bouts based on our tweets but cleaned up and made more reader-friendly for fans that are less familiar with social media.

Bout 1, 112lbs, West Point's Kyle Kirayama won round number 1 versus US Air Force Academy's Andrew Pineda. The second round was closer but it looked like the West Point boxer still landed the cleaner blows. Both guys are busy but missing a lot, both mostly throwing head punches only. In the third, these 2 are exhausted, Kirayama's arms are moving at half the speed they were in round number 1. Pineda takes the 3rd but overall it’s close, heated action. Winner of bout 1 of the semi-final round is Andrew Pineda of the USAF Academy. That busy third round must have put him ahead on the cards.

Bout 2 features 112 pounders, Richard Gonong, of the US Naval Academy, versus Vikromjit Parmar, of Penn State University. Gonong, a southpaw, came on in the second half of the 1st, which both men landing

Quarter Finals 2013 NCBA Tourney, College Boxing at Foxwoods

National Collegiate Boxing Association Tournament begins at Foxwoods

On Thursday afternoon, Foxwoods Resort & Casino in Mashantucket, CT hosted the quarter-final round of the National Collegiate Boxing Association championship tournament. Over the course of five and a half hours, thirty bouts featured sixty competitors who squared off inside the ring at the Fox Theater.

There was lots of action throughout most of the bouts, five of which ended in stoppages; Referee Stopped Contest is the amateur distinction, with the result being a knockout of the technical variety. Of the twenty-five official decisions rendered, this writer would only argue with 2 of them, at the most and both of those were close fights.

Without exception, the boxers in this tournament each came to win, making for intense exchanges in some of the most closely contested bouts. Couple the athletes’ intensity with the brevity of three 2 minute-round contests and time has been so compacted that each second is there for the boxers to control and prevent their opponent from taking from them. Of course, sometimes hand-to-hand combat is a lot uglier, with more grappling or missing than punches exchanged, but out of thirty fights there were probably only 2 stinkers in the bunch.

Highlights of the Day One Quarter-Finals included:
