Upshaw is a true throw-back fighter, who will really fight anybody, anywhere, anytime. The 32-year-old Floridian has done just that throughout most of his seven-year professional career, earning a reputation as a dangerous opponent who has made a reputation for pulling-off major upsets. Credit: Team Upshaw "If I'm in the gym and in good shape," Upshaw said, "I will fight anybody, anywhere, even on short notice. My problem was I'm a very late starter. I didn't get going until the fourth, fifth or sixth rounds. It just took me a few rounds to get going. I like to adjust to my opponents' style to decide what style I need to use. Since...

The former lightweight and super featherweight world champ, thick and stubby like a fireplug, took control from the opening round and never let go, landing just about every power shot flush on the face of Oliveira. Freitas dropped "The Brazilian Ricky" in the third round and then twice in the ninth before the ref waved off the contest. The overmatched Oliveira, who aggressively pursued this bout with the retired boxer-turned political leader, had no defense, no effective offense, and no answer for anything presented to him. -- Beibut Shumenov (13-1, 8 KOs) made the fourth defense of his WBA light heavyweight title with a unanimous 12-round decision over Enrique Ornelas Sun, 03 Jun 2012 04:12:17 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/sat_roundup_freitas_shumenov_win/10929173 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/sat_roundup_freitas_shumenov_win/10929173 Sat. roundup: Freitas, Shumenov win http://www.yardbarker.com/boxing/articles/sat_roundup_freitas_shumenov_win/10929173 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/0/b/0b12232a57fae819b698c55046801bf6ad058cc7/mini/GettyImageProxy.ashx_requestUrl_http_3a_2f_2fcache.gettyimages.com_2fxc_2f951689.jpg_3fv_3d1_26c_3dEWSAsset_26k_3d2_26d_3d17A4AD9FDB9CF193B07CCDF00DC06F5780D4766C38F6B764.jpg World Boxing Association (WBA) and International Boxing Association (IBA) Light Heavyweight World Champion Beibut Shumenov (13-1, 8 KO's) battered a game Enrique Ornelas (33-87, 21 KO's) from the opening bell en route to dominant victory by unanimous decision at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Shumenov revealed after the fight that he had injured his right forearm 10 days ago during a sparring session. It didn't prevent him, however, from pitching a complete shutout, winning each round on all three judges' scorecards in the 12-round main event. Shumenov was the aggressor, throwing hard rights to the head and body, especially effective were his well timed uppercuts. Ornelas was unable to counter Shumenov, who threw powerful combinations and then avoided Ornelas' late counters. Shumenov, a 2008 Kazakhstan Olympian, lives in Las Vegas and his fourth successful title defense was at the same venue in which he first captured the WBA crown...

Hard-hitting Sergey Kovalev, of Chelyabinsk, Russia, and Darnell Boone, of Atlanta, GA, meet in an eight-round rematch which could jump-start one of their careers. In the first fight between Kovalev and Boone on Oct. 10, 2010, in Atlanta, Kovalev was fortunate to escape with an eight-round split decision. All three scorecards were 76-75, two for Kovalev, one for Boone. The 29-year-old Kovalev is 17-0-1, 15 K0s, since turning pro in 2009 in Greensboro, NC. He currently resides is Arapahoe, NC. Kovalev has beaten Dallas Vargas, of Toledo, OH; Julius Fogle, of Tacoma, WA; Douglas Okola, of Nairobi, Kenya. He has boxed just twice in Russia, including his last fight Dec. 5, 2011, when he knocked out Roman Simakov (then 19-1, 9 K0s).

The reason for the snub was due to the sanctioning body's perceived "friendly" matchmaking for its title holders. When it comes to sketchy matchmaking, a finger could be pointed at the WBC, WBA, and IBF as well, but the WBO was especially well-known for its ability to find unqualified "top" challengers for dodgy champions in every rec center, third-rate gym and regional club circuit in the world. Throw in the shoddiest record keeping in the industry (the WBO once ranked deceased super middleweight Darrin Morris in its top 10 -- and even bumped him up in ranking twice, post mortem) and you get some especially rotten calls, even among the filthy four of boxing's sanctioning bodies. Over time, the Puerto Rico-based outfit cleaned up a bit, but lately it's been returning to form -- with its fellow s Sat, 12 May 2012 02:54:16 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/sanctioning_bodies_look_silly_in_europe/10775039 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/sanctioning_bodies_look_silly_in_europe/10775039 Sanctioning bodies look silly in Europe http://www.yardbarker.com/boxing/articles/sanctioning_bodies_look_silly_in_europe/10775039 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png World Boxing Association ("WBA") Light Heavyweight World Champion Beibut Shumenov returns on June 2 to make his fourth title defense against former super middleweight world title challenger Enrique Ornelas at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nev. in a fight that will be televised live on FOX Sports Net and FOX Deportes. The fight will mark Shumenov's return to same venue in which he first captured the WBA title in his 10th professional bout on January 29, 2010 with a 12-round unanimous decision over Gabriel Campillo, establishing the record for a fighter winning a major world light heavyweight championship in the fewest professional fights.

It took more than one album for Justin Timberlake to come around to universal critical acclaim, but Chavez is right around the "Justified" phase -- he's shown us that he's more than a pretty face, but he hasn't convinced everyone that they can be proud to call themselves fans. And maybe he'll flame out like so many kiddie pop stars of the past.Chavez takes the latest step toward "FutureSex/LoveSounds" when he faces Marco Antonio Rubio Saturday night on HBO.

Mexico's Rubio, who is 9-0 with 8 KOs since losing a February 2009 bout with Kelly Pavlik, stopped Canadian prospect David Lemieux in seven rounds earlier this year to become the WBC's mandatory top contender. In his 11-year career, Rubio has been in the ring with the likes of Lemieux, Pavlik, Kassim Ouma, Grady Brewer, Jose Luis Zertuche, Rigoberto Alvarez and Enrique Ornelas among others. Vanda, whose career highlight is a near win over in 2008 Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and a unanimous-decision rematch loss four months later, has lost four of his last six bouts.
