Fans Ruining Boxing?
Anyone with information about who was hassling Paulino Ibarra at the amateur show yesterday, is encouraged to come forward so we can stop this bullshit. Until there is a price to pay, it will never end. There was a building full of people so I know someone knows who it is.
This is the stuff that really hurts the boxing scene, especially at an amateur show where we are supposed to be in it for the kids and the boxers who toil in the gym.
Are boxing fans truly CLASSLESS? Do you realize that the Ibarra family lost a very young daughter, sister, niece recently, do you really think they deserve this? Then let's as a boxing community show otherwise.
**Response From Paulino Ibarra
Myself and my family,
Outsiderz Boxing Club, would never disrespect boxing. We
represent Colorado and USA Boxing, our team and our family. So
we are sorry for the incident at A-1's show on Saturday.
We were just defending ourselves. We go to all the shows to support Colorado boxing and Colorado boxers and take our team to box. But we have people that go to the shows for other reasons and I hope Glenn at A-1 boxing takes action on fixing the problem, so this doesn't happen again. I know who the problem is and who started this. So my, and to be brief, a CLASSLESS pro boxer from Colorado has an issue with me but can't handle it in a manly manner. So he puts it out wherever we meet. He'll go out of his way to sit ringside and cause problems. It's a personal problem that should stay that way, but some people have no class. He took this to Saturday's show and sent someone to attack me outside of the show. I was with my team and family and we did lose our cool. So sorry for that to everyone who was there. We try to never miss a show and show our support. So my message is this: I'm not running or hiding but rather trying to keep the peace and respect boxing like we always do and teach my boxers. I have more pride and class than to drop names. This trouble maker needs to grow up and be too slick and too quick, to respect and represent himself and his family. Thank you to all that had my back Saturday. I been hit harder working mitts with my boxers, so I'm fine, no harm was done to us. Also thank you very much for keeping our lost loved one in mind, RIP Alysia Ibarra. Paulino Ibarra Los Outsiderz Boxing T's KO Fight Club
6-1-08 Rodriguez Comes Up Short Against Olympian by Jeff Rodriguez
Robert had a tough match against the 2008 Olympian Roberto Navarro of the Dominican Republic. Rodriguez fought hard but still came up short losing the bout 15-9. They were tied in the first 3-3 but Navaro pulled away in the second 10-7 and in the third 14-7. Rodriguez tried to comeback in the fourth but it was not enough ending the bout 15-9. I am told it was a very technical bout with both boxers planning and attacking. Robert would like to thank everyone for their support and he promises that he will be back on the winning side again soon this was his first loss since the Olympic trails last year.
From USA Boxing:
The featherweight division took the ring for the third bout of the event as Robert Rodriguez (Evans, Colo.) battled 2008 Olympian Roberto Navarro of the Dominican Republic. The contest was close through the early going with the two boxers competing to a 3-3 tie at the end of two minutes of boxing. Yet Navarro grabbed the lead in the second and never look back. He claimed a 10-7 lead at the midway mark and extended it to a 14-7 margin as the final round began. Navarro went on to win a 15-9 final decision.

I will fill you in after the bouts
are complete. Adrian Mora Throws Down Challenge
Adrian Mora (19-1-1) would like to
publicly express his interest in facing either Donald Camarena or Marvin
Cordova on the upcoming Denver card, June 21st. Carwin Crashes Into UFC
Shane Carwin crashed into the UFC with a 44 second first round knock out. It was highlight reel material as he sent Christian Wellisch's, 9-3, mouthpiece flying across the Octagon. In KO-ing 'The Hungarian Nightmare' he ran his record to a perfect 9-0, all wins by knock out! He is yet to see the second round as he has taken care of business in under two minutes in all 9 fights. He should quickly climb the UFC ranks to a title shot in the next two years.
Carwin was holding the knock out of the night until Silva KO'd Keith Jardine. Carwin was still rewarded with a $25,000 knock out bonus from Dana White.
Carwin is trained by Trevor Wittman at T's KO Fight Club in Wheatridge. Wittman is also now the 'stand up coach' for UFC's Golden Boy, Roger Huerta. We will have an interview with Huerta next week.
5-29-08 “The Future”
The Future of boxing just might be in Colorado Feyline International, Inc. and InsideBoxing come together to showcase Boxing’s top contenders
Denver (May 20, 2008) - Aurelio Martinez of Inside Boxing and Barry Fey of Feyline International, Inc. have teamed up to bring “The Future”. The Future will be a sensational boxing event putting forth Colorado’s top pugilists. The card will include 5-time champion Donald Camarena , undefeated welterweight contender Marvin Cordova and undefeated heavyweight Jevon Langford.
One card - so much extraordinary boxing talent… All from Colorado! The event will be held on Saturday, June 21st at the National Western Complex in the events center arena.
The Card:
Donald Camarena has progressed as contender and has claimed five championships; they include the WBC world Youth, WBC Continental Americas, WBC Intercontinental Mundo Hispano championships as well as the Canadian-American-Mexican and the IB Rocky Mountain Regional titles.
Camarena’s losses have come at the hands of world champion Paulie Malinaggi, newly crowned world champion Timothy Bradley and top five rated Herman Ngoudjo in a hotly disputed contest. “I’ve always had to go fight the top contenders in their own back yards and on their promoter’s cards. I hope now they will come to Colorado and fight me here.” Said Camarena
Marvin Cordova is one of Colorado’s outstanding and undefeated prospects. Cordova is undefeated in 19 contests winning eleven by way of knock out. Cordova welcomes the opportunity to fight in front of a home town crowd.
Jevon Langford played six years with the Cincinnati Bengal’s as a defensive end and started his professional boxing career while an active NFL player. He would box professional during the off season of football racking up an undefeated record of six wins all by knock out victories. After retiring from football, Langford took time off from sports in general but will resume his boxing career in Denver where he now makes his home. Reunited with his trainer/manager Aurelio Martinez, Langford is ready to step back into the ring.
Undefeated fighters, Joey Silva and Jose Morales to see action and the long awaited return of Larry “Pitt Bull” Gonzales will take place.
Joey Silva as an amateur was a Golden Gloves National Champion and the only Colorado fighter ever to be selected to participate in the Olympic Education Program in Marquette, MI. In order to be selected to this program a fighter must be rated in the top 10 in the US. As professional, Silva has been sensational winning all eight of his pro contests, four by knock out.
Jose Morales, fought his entire amateur career in Mexico, now living in Denver he has started his professional boxing career on a high note defeating opponents in four contests. Morales has been so impressive in his young pro career that he has been nick named “El Asesino Cara Niño” (The baby face assassin). Morales has no intention of letting up and plans to put on a show for the Colorado fans.
Larry Gonzales was outstanding as an amateur holding wins over world champion Miguel Cotto, on the island nonetheless, and Olympic medalist Andre Dirrell. The victory over Dirrell was en route to his 2002 National Golden Gloves title at 139lbs. As a professional Gonzales quickly moved his ledger to 8-0, defeating 2 previously undefeated prospects including Curtis Meeks. His best bout as a pro was his win over highly touted prospect Julio Cesar Garcia, whom he defeated for the Texas State Lightweight title, in only his 7th fight. Garcia came in a heavy favorite at 27-1, 22 knockouts. Gonzales has been away from the ring for nearly 3 years and will look to make one final run at a world championship."
Ryan Proctor is the new comer to the scene, Proctor will making his professional debut and looks forward to a stellar professional boxing career. Proctor has the reputation of being the most feared sparring partner in the business having sparred with John Ruiz and Calvin Brock. Enjoy your night of boxing

5-25-08 Quick Results From The Rumble At The Ranch by Chris Morris
On a show that was disappointing overall there were some bright spots.
In the main event Victor Villereal moved his record to 7-1-1, 4kos with a second round TKO over Rick Chacon. Villereal was simply too rough and too tough for Chacon. After dominating the first three minutes of action, he was able to stop Chacon in the second when he landed a blow on the head which sent Chacon to the canvass. He was quickly up on his haunches but watched referee Stephen Blea reach the count of 10 and then got up, to the dismay of the fans. Chacon remains winless at 0-6-1.
After the main event Jim 'Smitty' Smith and his fighter Patrick Thompson challenged Victor Villereal and his trainer Raul Utajara to a Colorado/Nebraska title fight on his next card in July. The bout has the approval of both the Colorado and Nebraska boxing commissions and the winner will be the recognized champ.
Smitty started by saying he has a lot of respect for Villereal and Utajara and that they officially "Challenge you to a title fight, do you accept the fight?" to which Utajara responded, "Hell yeah we want it!" So it is on for July.
The co-main event was surely a bright spot as it easily stole the 'Fight of The Night' honors when Terry Butterbaugh and Brian Cummings went toe to toe for the better part of their four rounder, really getting the crowd going. After a close first round that could have gone either way, Butterbaugh's pressure style started to get to Cummings. He staggered Cummings several times in a round two that could have easily seen the fight stopped or scored 10-8 sans the knock down. It was more of the same in the third and fourth as Butterbaugh continued to get the better of the exchanges. I couldn't help but to compare Butterbaugh to 'Irish' Mickey Ward. His decent defense and come forward at all costs offense reminded me of Ward. In the end it was Butterbaugh winning a unanimous decision. After suffering a devastating knock out loss a mere two month prior, Cummings may have made his return to the ring too soon. Butterbaugh keeps his record clean at 2-0, 1ko while Cummings suffers his second straight defeat taking his ledger to 2-2, 2kos and will have some decisions to make about continuing as a pro boxer.
Ricky Lopez didn't let Jesus Garza ruin his 'homecoming' fight as he outclassed Garza before stopping him with a devastating left hook to the body early in the first. Lopez is now 2-0, 2kos. Garza is 0-2.
Marcus Herrera used skills to easily dominate and out point the very durable and tough Richard Flores. It was all Herrera from the opening to the final bell as he hit Flores with clean combinations to pile up the points. Flores is one tough customer and I was surprised he made it to the end. Herrera is now 2-0, 1ko while Flores slips to 3-11, 2kos.
The female bout was a complete farce as Hailie Utter won by TKO after landing a glancing blow to Samantha Williams face, she fell like she was shot. Referee Stephen Blea called time out and tried to get Williams to get up to finish the fight to no avail giving Utter the TKO victory in the first round.
MMA Results
Jose Beltran easily man handled Corey Williams before forcing Curtis Thrasher to stop the fight near the end of the first round.
Ricky Johnson submitted Cecil Erb with a very slick arm bar in the opening minute of the first round.
In a female Muay Thai bout Jennifer Finn stopped Victoria Seiley in the opening round.
