The Heavyweight King: @Tyson_Fury vs. Uncle Ralph #Boxing

Introducing John L. Sullivan by George Bellows 1923
The Heavyweight King 
Tyson Fury knows what the alphabet gangs do not: They don’t decide who the real champ is.
by Springs Toledo

Showtime’s Brian Custer recently referred to Deontay Wilder as the “world heavyweight champion” and so contributed to the mass confusion in boxing. Would-be fans —precisely the demographic the sport needs to attract— scratched their heads and wondered what the hell happened two weeks ago when Tyson Fury defeated Wlad Klitschko and was declared the “heavyweight champion of the world.” An unknown number of them reached for the clicker. 
The Transnational Boxing Rankings Board, a fifty-member, all-volunteer initiative representing eighteen countries invites them to put the clicker down and stay tuned. It recommends approaching the sport as they would a holiday with family. When Uncle Ralph staggers over to intrude on a pleasant exchange claiming something is that assuredly isn’t, wave him off. If he can’t take a hint and proves immune to courteous correction, escort him to the door and lock him out in the cold. He’ll sober up eventually. Boxing is overrun with Uncle Ralphs. We find them well-poised on television and meticulous in print, but most of their claims regarding the championships are gobbledygook. Do any of them really believe there are eighty-six champions in the seventeen weight divisions? Do they know the difference between Deontay Wilder’s belt and the divisional crown? 

THE CROWN VS. BELTS
Tyson Fury, insists the Board above the nonsense and the din, is heavyweight king. He takes his place in a succession that includes the vanquished Wlad Klitschko, fellow Briton Lennox Lewis, Fury’s namesake Mike Tyson, and thirty-three others give or take. Each divisional succession is an ongoing march through history with expected breaks and disruptions and which began with the first championship bout fought under the Marquess of Queensberry rules. The heavyweights’ stretch back at least to Gentleman Jim Corbett, if not John L. Sullivan — both sons of Éire like Fury himself. 
Anyone with more sense than a partridge in a pear tree knows that there are two paths into a divisional succession: (1) defeat the true champion or (2) if said champion retires or otherwise abdicates, earn a top-two ranking and defeat the top or next-best contender.  
And what of “world heavyweight champion” Wilder? He did neither. In January 2015, he defeated Bermane Stiverne (then ranked third in the Transnational Rankings when he was ranked sixth) after both contenders surrendered a percentage of their purses to the WBC. That belt Wilder carries is quite literally bought and paid for. It’s a fabrication; a fabrication puffed up by boxing media as something more but that had nothing to do with Wlad Klitschko and therefore had nothing to do with the heavyweight crown. 
Wilder was fervent anyway. “I want to fight four times a year,” he said afterward. “Whoever’s ready, I’m ready.” The response of ESPN’s Dan Rafael was proof positive that the language in the sport must change: “Fight fans who have been searching for a [sic] American heavyweight champion surely are also.” 
Tyson Fury understands the problem better than most. “If I want a belt, I can go and buy one,” he said last year. “It’s pointless. There’s the status of saying you’re a ‘world champion’, but when there’s twenty-five different world sanctioning bodies, it doesn’t mean nothing.” 

TYSON FURY IN MUHAMMAD ALI’S FOOTSTEPS
Earlier this month, the IBF stripped Fury of their belt because of his intention to give Klitschko a rematch. The heavyweight king responded while doing roadwork. “They should take all of them away from me if they want,” he told reporter Peter Lane. “But they’ll never take what I’ve done.”
He’s in good company. The WBA pulled the same stunt on Muhammad Ali in 1964 after he agreed to a rematch against Sonny Liston. It was a move laughed at by yesterday’s more discerning boxing writers. “The WBA is an imaginary organization,” wrote Red Smith. “When Liston and Clay fight again and the winner is recognized as champion by the public, the press, and the participants, the WBA’s pretensions to power must evaporate.” At the other end of Ali’s career, the WBC took their own swing at his legacy when they stripped Leon Spinks in 1978 for agreeing to fight him in a rematch. They “awarded” the belt to Ken Norton and it was begrudgingly acknowledged by increasingly less-discerning boxing writers.  
Trainer Peter Fury was more correct than we supposed when he compared Fury’s upset win over Klitschko with Ali’s upset win over Liston. Fury’s recent dismissal of homosexuality and the value of women in society left him wide open for censure, but Ali said worse. Before becoming America’s secular saint, Ali was a divisive figure who routinely thumbed his nose at the majority culture. “A black man should be killed if he’s messing with a white woman,” he said during a Playboy interview in 1975. And what of a Black Muslim woman who wants to go out with a white man? “Then she dies. Kill her, too.” 
In case you haven’t noticed, Ali is celebrated by the very demographic that now condemns Fury. 

A HERALD OF CHANGE?
Fury, who shuffled his feet familiarly a few times during the Klitschko fight, can likewise redefine himself as something other than a provocateur of the political left; he can step forward as a herald of change in boxing. Reform is in the air. It’s in his ear. “Gonna speak with [promoter] Mick [Hennessy] and & Tyson to give all belts away. Win em & vacate the lot. Money racket,” tweeted his trainer on December 9. “We know who the real champ is.” 
The IBF, WBA, WBC, et al. would rather we didn’t. Unaccountable to anything outside their counting houses, they will continue to thrive in the mass confusion and make decisions based solely on their interests. 
The heavyweight king is expected to do what is in his interests, but is also signaling his willingness to do something more. 
The Transnational Boxing Rankings Board’s only interest resides in that “something more.” It will continue to provide clarity for fans and fighters alike by publishing clean, globally-represented rankings at www.tbrb.org and identifying “the real champs” with virtual crowns that don’t cost a thing.

Khiary Gray and Jimmy Williams win in co-featured bouts at Twin River

Khiary Gray scores 1st rd TKO
Khiary Gray and Jimmy Williams notch victories in CES' final show of 2015 at Twin River
By Alex Pierpaoli


Last night at Twin River Event Center in Lincoln, Rhode Island, CES Boxing held their final fight card of 2015, a nine bout show co-featuring unbeaten junior middleweights Khiary Gray and Jimmy Williams in separate bouts. Both prospects picked up victories, Williams by way of decision and Gray via technical knockout, as both fighters continue on a course that may see them eventually colliding with each other.


Khiary Gray, 154lbs of Worcester, MA, moved to 11-0 (9) with another first round stoppage, this time over Roberto Valenzuela, 154lbs. of Tuscon, AZ. A mean shot to the body with less than half a round gone in the first was all it took for Gray to score his 8th kayo win of 2015, 7 of them coming in round number one. Valenzuela fell to 69-71-2 (56) in defeat. Despite looking as good as can be expected in scoring such a lopsided win, Gray needs better opponents in order to test himself and let fans see if he's really as good as he looks.


Jimmy Williams, 148lbs of New Haven, CT, returned to the ring for the first time since February, and after recovering from a hand injury this past spring. Williams shook off rust against a clever and rangy, Chris Gray, 150lbs of Vero Beach, FL. Williams had trouble boxing-in or trapping his moving and

circling opponent and Gray caught him repeatedly with pot-shots before grabbing or rolling out of range of counterpunches. At the end of six rounds one judge scored it in favor of Gray at 58-56, overruled by scores of 58-56 and 59-55 for Jimmy Williams. Gray fell to 13-22-1 (1) in defeat while Williams improved to 10-0-1 (5).


Joey McCreedy, 162lbs, of Lowell, MA, returning to the ring for the first time since September of 2014, dropped a 6 round split decision to Emmanuel Sanchez, 163lbs, of Laredo, TX. Although neither fighter made it easy to score this one, McCreedy came forward all night, but ineffectively while Sanchez would pop him and then clinch, again and again. McCreedy got lucky in round 2 and put down Sanchez with a single blast but was never able to follow up. At the end of 6 tedious rounds one judge favored the ineffective aggression of McCreedy, scoring it 60-53 in his favor, but he was overruled by two close scores of 58-56 and 57-56 both for Sanchez. McCreedy returns to the ring at 15-9-2 (6) and Sanchez improves to 7-4 (1).


Fatlum Zhuta, 158lbs, of Anchorage, Alaska, made very short work of Deivison Ribeiro, 160.5lbs, of Brazil, via Boston, MA, stopping him at 1:47 of round 1. Zhuta, an Albanian by birth, had Ribiero down twice, the second time from a short left hook, and ref. Schiavone stopped the bout with Ribeiro on his feet but eating leather from an invigorated Zhuta. Ribeiro leaves Rhode Island at 0-2 while Zhuta improves to 2-0-1 (1).

Junior Middleweight Demetrius Andrade returned to action tonight at Mohegan Sun with an exciting two round demolition of Buenos Aires, Argentina's Dario Pucheta. Andrade's return after a 16 month lay-off was the main event of a five bout professional boxing card promoted by Jimmy Burchfield's Classic Entertainment and Sports, in association with Star Boxing and Banner Promotions. In the chief supporting bout lightweight Hammerin' Hank Lundy of Philadelphia, PA, bounced back from a disputed July loss with a swarming, head-thumping technical knockout of Carlos Velasquez in five rounds. Also, regional favorites Josh Crespo of New Haven, CT and undefeated prospect Khiary Gray of Worcester, MA, also picked up wins.

Demetrius Andrade, 153 1/2lbs, boxed aggressively in the opening frame against the heavily muscled Dario Pucheta, 152 1/2lbs. With only about thirty seconds gone in the first Boo Boo force-fed the Argentine a straight left that put him right on the seat of his pants. It was the first of three knockdowns Andrade scored in putting Pucheta away and securing the vacant WBO International

Can Khiary Gray-Pitts make it 7 1st rd KOs in a row? #Boxing

Hits keep coming for unbeaten UBF champ Gray as he puts perfect record on the line Oct. 17th


UNCASVILLE, Conn. -- Kendrick Ball always knew his protégé,Khiary Gray, had the right pedigree to be a star in the junior middleweight division, but this recent string of first-round knockouts? It's bordering on the absurd.

"The situation is a little overwhelming," Ball admitted. "It's not something we plan, but what we work on is if you happen to give us an opening, we'll take that opening and hurt you.

"I always knew how good he was. It was just a matter of showing everyone else."

Gray (9-0, 7 KOs), the reigning, undefeated Universal Boxing Federation Northeast champion from Worcester, Mass., has won his last six fights by first-round knockout, including his most recent bout Sept. 18th against Kenton Sippio-Cook in what was supposed to be the first major test of his career. Instead, Gray ripped through his opponent in impressive fashion, stopping Sippio-Cook at the 2-minute, 2-second mark of the opening round to capture the vacant UBF strap.

Less than a month later, Gray is back at it, scheduled to face Denver's Marcus Dawkins (4-2, 1 KO) in a six-round bout Saturday, Oct. 17th, 2015 on the undercard of CES Boxing's "Gold Standard" event at Mohegan Sun Arena, headlined by the long-awaited return of former world champion Demetrius Andrade.

Tickets are priced at $25.00, $50.00, $125.00 and $200.00 (VIP) and available for purchase online at www.cesboxing.com or www.mohegansun.com,www.ticketmaster.com, by phone at 401-724-2253/2254, or at the Mohegan Sun Box Office. All fights and fighters are subject to change.

Will Gray finally face some opposition and get some much-needed rounds? Ball hopes so.

"We train for longer rounds. When we were fighting four-rounders, we were already training for eight-rounders. Right now, we're doing six-rounders, so we're training for 12-round fights," Ball said. "I'm not worried about the rounds. Eventually, I know we'll run into someone that can probably take it a little longer and we'll get him out later on, but I think people are finally starting to see more of what he can do."

The irony of Gray's impressive streak, Ball said, is fight fans really haven't seen the best of what he has to offer. They've yet to see how he'll respond in a major test, or how he'll hold up physically and mentally over the course of a six- or eight-round fight. Time will tell. For now, some of Gray's best attributes are being overshadowed by the sheer violence and astonishment of his current knockout streak.

"Everyone knows he can punch. You can see he throws a good body shot. He's pretty accurate," Ball said. "What people don't understand is he has really good defense and his boxing IQ is really high. We're hoping to get some work in with someone who can give us some rounds so he can display that also."

Dawkins might be the one. The 5-foot-9 lefty recently boxed 10 rounds in his last fight, or precisely as many rounds as Gray has boxed in his last seven bouts. A former football and basketball standout in high school, Dawkins recalls watchingMike Tyson dismantle Michael Spinks in 91 seconds back in 1988 at the age of 9. He immediately caught the boxing bug, but admittedly didn't put on a pair of gloves until 2004. A self-proclaimed "defensive fighter," he's gone the distance in four of his six professional bouts.

"He's kind of a loopy fighter. Throws wide, loopy punches. Nothing I haven't seen before," Gray said. "It plays right into my game plan."

Echoing the same sentiment as his long-time trainer, Gray thought Sippio-Cook would give him "at least three, four rounds," but went for the kill when "the opportunity presented itself." The beginning of the end came with 1:16 remaining when Gray cracked his opponent with an overhand right that brought the crowd to its feet.

"That was the first one the whole fight," Gray said. "After that, he began to buckle every time I hit him."

Eleven seconds later, Gray delivered another right to the temple that sent Sippio-Cook to the canvas for good.

"I learned a lot in that fight. I learned to put more of my weight on my back leg and get more power out of my punches. Every fight, I learn something," Gray said.

"I just took it the same way I took my last fight. That's how I approach every fight. I don't try to put pressure on myself. I just go out and fight. I had a different mindset. I knew this was what I had been waiting for, a chance to step up."

Now he wants a chance to showcase his full arsenal in front of a packed house under the bright lights of Mohegan Sun. He might get that chance Oct. 17th, unless those trademark body shots get through.

"We did that a lot in the amateurs, and some of the fights he lost were due to the fact they weren't scoring body shots," Ball said. "I always knew he was a good body puncher and it was going to work out perfect for us when we turned pro, so even if we fought a guy we knew we'd eventually beat the body up, wear him down fast enough and beat the body to slow him down.

"There won't be anybody -- well, I can't say anybody, but it's going to take a really strong person to be able to take body shots for a certain amount of rounds. We're definitely going to touch the body a certain amount of times in a round where eventually three or four rounds later they're either going to shit on themselves or they'll be pissing blood."

The 10-round main event, promoted in association with Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing and Artie Pelullo's Banner Promotions, features Andrade (21-0, 14 KOs) against Argentinian Dario Fabian Pucheta (20-2, 11 KOs) for the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) and World Boxing Association (WBA) International Titles, Andrade's first fight in 16 months.

"Gold Standard" also includes the return of world-rated lightweight "Hammerin'"Hank Lundy (25-5-1, 12 KOs), No. 15 in the WBC, fighting for the WBC's vacant Continental Americas Title at 135 pounds. Super middleweight Vladine Biosse (15-7-2, 7 KOs) of Providence, R.I., returns in a six-round bout against Nathan Miller(6-0-1, 4 KOs) of New Brunswick, Canada.

Also featured on the undercard, New Haven, Conn., featherweight Josh Crespo (4-2-3, 2 KOs) battles Albany, N.Y., vet Rigoberto Miranda in a four-round bout; cruiserweight Mike Marshall (1-0, 1 KO) of the Bronx faces newcomer Hampton Miller of New Haven in a four-rounder and featherweights Carlos Pena of Worcester and Phil Dudley of Providence make their professional debuts against one another in a four-round bout.
