1. LES FAITS
1.1 Du sarcasme, de la forfanterie, c'etait en fin d'annee 2007, apres qu'une serie de ring girls, du meilleur gout et parees de leurs plus beaux shorts apparaissent sur vos ecrans... mais si, souvenez-vous!

1.2 Apparition de materiel a la 'limite' du regulier, sigles de la marque Cusley, afin d'eviter toutes remarques et  mimiques  dubitatives de collegues de travail s'etonnant  de marques,  rougeures  et  scarifications  sur une peau blanche de  business-working girl

COMME UN SIGNE...

et pas des moindres...David Hayes vient d'etre signe par Oscar de la Hoya, pardon par Golden Boy Promotions (GBP)! comme son "tourneur" exclusif aux USA. Et quand on regarde la Team de GBP, quand on realise le sens du business de son PDG, on se dit qu'effectivement, The Hayemaker est promis a un bel avenir.
Avec en point de mire Klitschko...le temps de prouver qu'il est bien le challenger qu'on attend dans cette categorie moribonde des Heavyweights.

Allez, patience, c'est pour bientot...

David Haye Signs With GBP

One of the most charismatic athletes to hit boxing in recent memory, London’s David Haye not only packs a huge punch and outstanding boxing skills, but also possesses the willingness to take on all comers and the ability to capture the imagination of fight fans around the world - traits that have led him to 20 knockouts in his 21 victories and the undisputed cruiserweight world championship. As he now embarks on a quest to become Heavyweight Champion of the World, “The Hayemaker” has signed with Golden Boy Promotions, the premier promotional company in boxing, as his exclusive promoter in the United States ..

   

Golden Boy will also enter into a strategic alliance with Haye’s newly formed promotional company, Hayemaker Promotions, in similar fashion to past alliances with fighter-promoters it has worked with.

“Golden Boy Promotions is a powerful and forward-thinking company that is in this sport to protect the well-being of boxers,” said David Haye. “One of their main goals is to empower the boxer which is something I believe in too. Golden Boy is the perfect company for me to sign with in order to advance my career in and at the same time help to improve the state of boxing with my own promotional company. That is my ultimate intention as both a world champion boxer and a promoter.”

“Golden Boy Promotions has been waiting a long time for the right opportunity to get involved with the heavyweight division and in signing David Haye, that time has come,” stated Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar de la Hoya. “David is not only a great champion but with his personality and charisma, I know that he will take the heavyweight division by storm. He will give this once glorious division a much needed facelift and give fight fans around the world heavyweight fights to look forward to just like the great Muhammad Ali once did. All heavyweights out there should beware as there is a new sheriff in town.”

“David and I have always strived to progress his career with the control that independence gives and to form this alliance with Golden Boy is a dream relationship that needed no thought,” said Haye’s manager and trainer Adam Booth. “The support, professionalism and penetrating insight into the top levels of boxing that Golden Boy possesses is exactly what David's career needs now. We are so excited about this relationship and can't wait to get started.”

“I am delighted to have David Haye as part of our team and our alliance with him and his promotional company will help to expand our presence globally,” said Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer . “We are happy that David has formed his own promotional company as, like him, we at Golden Boy believe in the empowerment of fighters.”

After winning the WBC, WBA, WBO and Ring Magazine cruiserweight titles with stirring knockouts of Jean-Marc Mormeck (TKO7) and Enzo Maccarinelli (TKO2), the 27-year-old Haye (21-1, 20 KOs) has even loftier goals in mind. He relinquished his cruiserweight titles earlier this year in order to move up in weight and take on the best the heavyweight division has to offer. Haye, whose heavyweight debut in April of 2007 resulted in a one minute and 45 second stoppage of top 15 contender Tomasz Bonin, has set his sights on World Heavyweight Champion Wladimir Klitschko, and with the heavyweight division in dire need of a superstar on a level with the greats of the past, “The Hayemaker” is eager to give the fans and media what they’ve been asking for. Haye’s first fight under this new promotional contract will be announced at a later date. Source_EastSideBoxing

ANTONIO MARGARITO/MIGUEL COTTO: THE CLAH OF SLAM

Every now and then a fight is made and you get an electric feeling of anticipation. You can envision the fight taking on so many different scenarios that you have trouble projecting a winner. There is almost one certainty. This fight should keep you glued to the edge of your seat. No Calzaghe - Hopkins let down here.

These are two warriors staking claim, bragging rights if you will to being the best fighter today in the historic welterweight division. The winner of this fight will be mentioned in the same breath as the past greats who graced the division and rightfully so. Miguel Cotto has carried on the great dominance of fellow countryman Felix Trinidad and this bout could be Miguel's defining moment. He has put himself in to superstar status with wins over Zab Judah and Shane Mosley.

By defeating Margarito he can cement his legend and begin looking for new worlds to conquer. The fight everyone wants to see at some near future point is Cotto versus Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Mr. Margarito may have some say in this matter. Although Cotto and Floyd would be a highly anticipated showdown, from a fan's perspective I believe Cotto - Margarito will be the much more entertaining contest.

Looking at the big picture Cotto is the more talented of the two. He can box a bit and he's one of the best body punchers I 've seen in years. Margarito is a swarming boxer that throws punches from all angles and he has a chin of granite. My question is, how well will Margarito survive the body assault of Cotto. ? This could be the key to the confrontation along with Cotto's under rated jab. If Cotto is unable to keep Margarito off of him, we may be looking at a real donnybrook. Cotto's uppercut could also be a valuable tool is discouraging the forward march of Margarito.

Please do not count Margarito out. He is a solid puncher, a real banger and the Cotto chin could very well be Miguel 's Achilles heel. By all rights of reason the edge has to be given to Cotto but Margarito will be dangerous until the end. All I know is that I can't wait for the bout to begin.

HATTON WINS A CLEAR UD OVER BRAVE LAZCANO

Tonight, at The City of Manchester Stadium, Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton won a virtual shut-out against the incredibly brave Juan Lazcano. Capturing a UD win by scores of 120-108, 120-110 and 118-110, Hatton looked as sharp as he ever has. Hatton, 29, dominated the four years older man from Sacramento in impressive style. Indeed, this writer, despite Lazcano's gameness, was never able to give the visiting fighter a single round. With his win, Ricky got back on track after losing for the very first time to Floyd Mayweather by KO in ten rounds last December. Hatton improved to 44-1(31). The 33-year-old Lazcano, who has not won a fight now since October of 2006, fell to 37-5-1(27).. Hatton looked sharp throughout and on a number of occasions appeared to be on the verge of a stoppage. Lazcano landed a few of his own shots from time to time, but his lack of punch-power prevented him from getting on top for more than a fleeting period. Both guys came out and went at it right from the opening bell, but Hatton's body shots, head shots, and advantage in speed and youth proved to be decisive. There appeared to be one scare for Hatton in round number eight, as Ricky seemed to be hurt by a Lazcano head shot, but "The Hitman" came back at the end of the round in an exciting three minutes. Hatton really began to rake his challenger from the 4th round on. Lazcano showed amazing heart, but he took a beating that may well end his career up at the top level. The fight was never dull, and at the end both men showed signs of battle. Ricky had a swollen right eye, and Lazcano looked all but exhausted at the final bell. With future rival Paulie Malignaggi looking less than spectacular on tonight's chief support - as he won a hard-fought split decision over the capable Lovemore N'dou - a Hatton-Malignaggi showdown later this year looks like a winnable fight for Hatton. Both of tonight's title fights were more entertaining than expected, and now all eyes are on a fight between "The Hitman" and "The Magic Man." Ricky Hatton looked as though he has a few fights in him yet, but Paulie Malignaggi, in getting hit more than he has in some time, may not be in the same position.Source_EastSideBoxing.com

TYSON IN CANNES...THE FILM GETTING ACCLAIM

Les Palmes seront decernees ce soir...aucune chance pour celui la d'etre dans la guest list, par contre il a de toute evidence marque les esprits.

The Cannes film festival in France may seem like an odd place for former heavyweight champion of the world Mike Tyson to be hanging out, but right now Tyson is there getting a receptive reception due to the new film to be released on his life.

The documentary, "Tyson," directed by U.S film maker James Toback, is an all-out revelation of "Iron" Mike's turbulent life - both in and out of the boxing ring. Toback has selected hours upon hours of footage of Tyson, both of fights and interviews, and has used it all to give an accurate account of Mike Tyson's life - from his early days in Brooklyn to his days at the top of the sporting world. The movie then goes on to show Tyson's almost unbelievable fall from grace.

Film maker Toback has known Tyson for years, and it was due to this trust that Mike opened up and spoke about everything and anything regarding his quite incredible life. As such the film is almost certainly going to be un-missable viewing. Tyson himself was somewhat overwhelmed as the film got its cheers in Cannes.

"I had no idea this thing was ever going to make it to this grand scale here," Tyson said. "I feel totally overwhelmed. I've lived a wild and strange life. I've used drugs, I've had physical altercations with dangerous people, people were angry. I've slept with guys' wives, they wanted to kill me. I'm just happy to be here. It's just a miracle. I feel good about being here with you."

There is no doubt Mike Tyson's life has enough material in it to make a full length film, and as such "Tyson" will surely be gripping viewing once it is released to the general public. Sure to be a box office triumph, the documentary has been getting good reviews from credible sources.

Trade paper Variety, in its review of the film, had the following things to say:

"In the course of the film, Tyson moves from someone you might think you'd want to steer well clear of to a man you might actually want to meet and speak with, which is a significant accomplishment."

Apparently, the film treats Tyson as a tragic but also noble figure. The film focuses (among other things) on the youngest ever heavyweight champion's ascension to the world title, his subsequent conviction for rape, his regaining of the world title, and his biting of Evander Holyfield's ear.

"I've always analysed my life," said Tyson. Now we fans have a chance to do the same  _source_EastSideBoxing.com

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARVELOUS MARVIN HAGLER, 54 TODAY!

   

Somewhat ironically, after recently writing a birthday article on the fighter who ended his career in controversial circumstances, today sees the same written tribute to Marvellous Marvin Hagler - who turns 54 today. Of course, Sugar Ray Leonard is the fighter whose birthday it was six days ago, and it was on "The Sugar Man" that I wrote a (hopefully) fitting tribute. Well, today the equally great Hagler gets the same treatment.

Hagler and Leonard, somewhat like Ali and Frazier, will be forever linked together. To this day, though they only had the one fight, hardly a day goes by without the two middleweights' rivalry being mentioned by one fight fan or another. Also to this day, the debate as to who won on the 6th of April, 1987 rages. There is so much more to Marvellous Marvin Hagler than just that fight, however. Indeed, Marvin himself would like to forget all about that final bout in his legendary career.

Turning pro to little or no fanfare back in May of 1973, southpaw Hagler slogged his way up the hard way. Fighting tough guys for low pay checks, Marvellous Marvin's hardness was formed. Nothing came easy to him, and there were very few opponents that could be in any way referred to as anything other than formidable. Working his way towards a shot at the world middleweight title, Hagler met such worthy and capable opposition as Sugar Ray Seales (W U10, D 10 and Won TKO 1), Willie "The Worm" Monroe (L UD 10, W TKO 12 and W TKO 2), Eugene "Cyclone" Hart (W RTD 8), Mike Colbert (W KO 12) and "Bad" Bennie Briscoe (W UD 10). Hagler also fought Bobby "Boogaloo" Watts - losing a majority verdict over ten rounds. These two would meet again soon after Hagler's first shot at the world title.

In this fight, too, Hagler would lose controversially. Challenging world champion Vito Antuofermo on the under-card of the Leonard-Wilfred Benitez welterweight title fight (for much less money than what Ray earned in his first world title fight), Hagler went home empty-handed thanks to a bitterly disputed draw. It was after this fight, held in November of 1979, that Hagler decided boxing judges could never be trusted again. From then on vowing to let his fists and his fists alone decide the result of one of his fights, Hagler was intent on KO'ing everyone in his path. He set about this task with frightening efficiency.

After avenging his loss to Watts via a 2nd round TKO five months after the Antuofermo disappointment, and after also picking up wins over Loucif Amani (W KO 2) and Marcos Geraldo (in what turned out to be Hagler's last points win in over three years), Marvin Met Britain's Alan Minter in the new champ's home country.

Minter had won the title from Antuerfermo and now Hagler made his second attempt at capturing the crown. He suffered no setback this time! Crushing the man who had reportedly made the foolish comment beforehand that he'd never lose his title to a black guy, Hagler won in less than three rounds. Minter's face was a disgrace due to bad cuts, but the behaviour of his fans was even more so. Pelting the new champ with beer bottles, Marvellous had to be escorted from the ring. His coronation somewhat spoilt, Hagler was intent on keeping his belt for as long as he possibly could.

Memorable defences came against fellow all-time greats Roberto Duran (W UD 15) and Thomas Hearns (W KO 3), along with retentions against good fighters like Antuerfermo in a return (W TKO 5), William "Caveman" Lee (W TKO 1), Juan Roldan (W TKO 10) and John "The Beast" Mugabi (W KO 11). As he made defence after defence Hagler cemented his reputation as one of the finest middleweights of all-time.

Then, in 1987, in what was his 13th title defence, Hagler met and lost to Leonard in a fight that so upset him he quit the sport afterwards. Convinced he'd out-pointed the man he'd longed to face for so long, Hagler left boxing with a very bad taste in his mouth. To this day, if you mention Ray Leonard's name in any way other than to say Marvin beat him - you better duck if Hagler is around!

It is ironic that the two men have their birthday so close together, with Ray being born on May 17th and Hagler today, May 23rd. But despite the ill feeling that still exists between the two as far as their fight and its result goes, let us wish both former greats can live happy and contented lives today. Both of them have more than earned it. Source_EastSideBoxing.com
