#MayweatherPacquiao There is #BoxingHistory at stake
The
Transnational Boxing Rankings Board, an independent, international, noncommercial rankings
organization, announces that the winner of the Floyd Mayweather Jr.–Manny
Pacquiao fight on May 2 will
be crowned the true welterweight champion of the world.
The 44-member board, representing 16 countries and five
continents, does not acknowledge the various belts passed off as “world
championships” and therefore does not acknowledge “unification” as anything
more than hype. Its charter identifies the true divisional champions as those
who defeat their rightful predecessor and holds that the first two ranked
contenders alone can contest a vacant divisional throne.

Robinson dominates Alimjanov in
Roc Nation Sports' Second Time with The Sweet Science
By Alex Pierpaoli
On Friday night Roc Nation Sports,
the promotional company formed by rapper Jay Z, put on their second boxing show
with a seven bout card from the Grand Theater at Foxwoods Resort & Casino in
Mashantucket, CT. Cruiserweight Murat Gassiev bludgeoned Felix Cora Jr through
9 rounds in the Main Event televised live by Fox Sports 1. In addition to the
fights, Rapper Casey Veggies performed several songs live, as part of Roc
Nation Sports' efforts to offer sizzle and star power to advertisers and
today's younger fans. A DJ and Hartford
radio station Hot 93.7 radio personality Jenny Boom-Boom helped ring announcer
John Vena with the introductions, musical interludes and ambience while
Boom-Boom also fielded answers to trivia questions from the small but
enthusiastic crowd. Strobe lights and songs aside, a fight card, after all, is all
about that boxing and there was plenty of that.

1st bout coming up shortly #RocNationSports
Bout 1, Super-Middles, 4rds, Roberto
Lopez, 166lbs, of Vineland, NJ vs. Quick Nick
Valliere, 163lbs of Tom's River NJ #ThroneBoxing #FNF
Valliere, a southpaw gets right to work behind busy right
hook to head & belly of Lopez, no feeling out round for these 2, they're
slugging
wouldn't think it from his stocky,
just-woke-up-on-a-Saturday-AM build but Valliere is a slick southpaw & rips
Lopez w/ long left uppercuts
third round has really slowed down. first two rounds were a
very fast pace for these 2. Valliere in charge
lots of leaning on each other & grappling in that 3rd
but Quick Nick still did enough to win it. Last round coming up will he get a
shut-out
Bout 1 in the books, Nick Valliere dominates Roberto Lopez.
First 2 rounds were very strong, he faded a bit but should win this 4rds to none
the scorecards read 40-36 & 39-37 x 2 all in favor of
Quick Nick Valliere who improves to 5-0 (2). Roberto Lopez slips to 4-9-2 (1) #Boxing
