Rigondeaux targets Ramos CORK, Ireland (July 11, 2011) – No sooner had new World Boxing Association (“WBA”) Super Bantamweight Champion Rico “Suavecito” Ramos had his arm raised victoriously after his seventh-round knockout of defending champion Akishumni Shimoda last Saturday night in Atlantic City, WBA Interim titlist Guillermo “The Jackal” Rigondeaux issued an instant challenge to the 24-year-old Ramos for a supreme 122-pound showdown. The Shimoda-Ramos fight was on the verge of being called off when Rigondeaux’ Irish manager, Gary Hyde, through renown boxing lawyer Patrick English, lodged an objection to the WBA. The action resulted in the promoters for both Shimoda and Ramos being instructed to make a deal with Team Rigondeaux or their fight wouldn’t be sanctioned. As WBA world Interim champion, Rigo should have been the next challenger for Shimoda's title, but the Japanese champion by-passed Rigondeaux in favor of an easier title defense against Ramos. Top Rank-promoted... Read more...

NORTH BERGEN (July 8, 2011) - Undefeated Polish heavyweight Mariusz Wach has a lot more riding on his July 29 matchup with Irish toughman Kevin McBride than adding another win. Wach has his dreams of becoming heavyweight champion of the world hanging in the balance. Wach, 24-0 (12 KO), of North Bergen, NJ by way of Krakow, Poland has long dreamed of becoming his country's first heavyweight champion, and if he gets through "The Clones Collosus" McBride (35-9-1, 29 KO) in the ten-round main event of "Heat Wave" at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., an opportunity to face one of the heavyweight champion Klitschko brothers Wladimir and Vitali may be in store.
