El ex campeón mexicano Jhonny González noqueó en el segundo asalto al estadounidense Antonio “T-Rex” Davis, en una pelea eliminatoria para disputar la corona pluma del Consejo Mundial de Boxeo (CMB), este sábado por la noche en el combate estelar de una cartelera que fue organizada en la Discotheque The City, en la Zona Hotelera de Cancún, México.
González, un ex campeón gallo del CMB, saltó decido a terminar con Davis desde el campanazo inicial, atacándolo sin ninguna compasión, hasta que lo terminó en el segundo después que lo envió cuatro veces a la lona.
Jhonny aspira a disputar el título pluma del CMB ante el campeón Elio Rojas, de República Dominicana. Y demostró que está para hacerlo pronto, al aniquilar a Davis en una pelea de una sola cara. Con el éxito, González mejoró su record a 42 triunfos, 7 derrotas y 7 nocauts, mientras que Davis desmejoró a 26-7.
Por su parte, el mediano Marco Antonio “Veneno” Rubio (45-6, 40 nocauts) noqueó de forma brutal en el segundo asalto a Jaison Palomeque (13-4, 7 nocauts), para preservar su cuarto puesto en el ranking mediano del CMB.
En cambio, el prospecto Carlos Cuadras (15-0, 13 nocauts) superó por decisión dividida en ocho as altos a Alberto “Malachito” Chuc (13-14, 10 nocauts), y el peso pluma Sergio “Yeyo” Thompson (12-1, 11 nocauts) noqueó en el primero a Hugo Pacheco (7-13-1, 7 nocauts). FOTOS PERIODICO QUEQUI.

Gonzalez debe cuidarse de estar tan acelerado y querer liquidar a sus
rivales apresuradamente.
Eso le valio la derrota contra el japones nishioka aunque tambien tuvo que
ver la falta de coraje y corazon.
Si gonzalez tuviera las agallas del magnifico vazquez, fuera imparable en
supergallo y en pluma.
ni gamboa ni chris jhon podrian hacerle frente a este muchacho que si bien
el cubano es rapidisimo y de una pegada impresionante, si gonzalez tuviera
los huevos del magnifico vazquez y de no dejarse vencer por nada la
inexperiencia del cubano lo haria caer (ya lo han tumbado varias veces
boxeadores mas inexpertos y con menor pegada)
Y de chris john ni hablar lo puso mal rocky juarez que ya no es el mismo
que peleo con barrera o marquez.
pero desgraciadamente no es asi, gonzalez le falta corazon y eso no se
aprende, con eso se nace, gonzalez seguira ganando mientras no se enfrente
a boxeadores de la talla de gamboa o jhon.
Una pelea con Lopez estaria bien para ver de que esta hecho lopez, si
siporta una pegada brutal como la de gonzalez,
Y si gonzalez tiene corazon para aguantarle la pegada a Lopez (con sus
vendajes magicos)
Gonzalez pega mas duro que ponce de leon en pluma ya que este ultimo no
pudo noquear a marlon aguilar y gonzalez lo trituro.

A Gonzalez se le vio buen boxeo anoche y su pegada es muy fuerte, sin
embargo en lo poco que duro la pelea. yo tenia temor que le tocaran la
quijada, siento que al minimo golpe a este muchacho se le doblaran las
piernas, esto aunado a su estamina y corazon de boricua es su punto debil.
como bien dice miguel, si tuviera los huevos de el magnifico o del travieso
este muchacho fuera imparable.

Me gustaria ver pelear a Jhonny vs Juanma Lopez ya que las caracteristica s
de ambos pugiles haria atractiva la pelea, ya que ninguno es invencible a
Gonzales le falto corazon vs noshioka y a Lopez demostro que no soporta
presion de mucho golpeo y mas de poder como lo hizo con su pelea vs Roger

Manny Still the King - BoxingScene’s Pound for Pound Top Ten
By Cliff Rold
With the first man on this list having made his first start of 2010,
boxing’s elite are in full swing with some anticipated twists and turns
pending.
Manny Pacquiao didn’t add his latest knockout to the ledger on March
13th, but he did add his second top-ten Welterweight in as many tries and
put some distance between himself and his arch-rival for the top spot. In
Joshua Clottey and Miguel Cotto, Pacquiao’s two big wins over
Welterweights trump what Floyd Mayweather put together with Carlos Baldomir
and Zab Judah in 2006.
Mayweather can answer back with Shane Mosley in May…if he can lift the
scalp.
Contrary to the way it occasionally feels, boxing isn’t all
Pacquiao-Mayweather. Bernard Hopkins will go a long way towards
determining where, if at all, he really still belongs. After a lengthy
layoff, he returned late last year with a tune-up and now he’s going Ray
Parker Jr., a ghostbusting appointment scheduled in April with what used to
be Roy Jones.
Japan’s Hozumi Hasegawa faces a fellow titlist at Bantamweight in the
spring while Light Heavyweight Chad Dawson will have to wait for the summer
for his spotlight time, but there’s plenty to look forward to among the
game’s best.
These are the Boxing Scene Pound for Pound ratings.
1) Manny Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KO)
Age: 31
Current Titles: WBO Welterweight (147 lbs.); World Junior Welterweight (140
lbs.)
Career Titles: World Flyweight/112 lb. champion (1998-99); World
Featherweight/126 lb. champion (2003-2005); World Jr. Lightweight/130 lb.
champion (2008); additional alphabelts at 112, 122, 130, and 135 lbs.
Last Five Opponents: Joshua Clottey, Miguel Cotto, Ricky Hatton, Oscar De
La Hoya, David Diaz
Next Opponent: TBA
The Take: This is Pacquiao’s spot to lose and Mayweather’s to take.
Some would say take back, but unlike Pacquiao, Mayweather never made the
demands on the top slot Pacquiao has. Mayweather sort of inherited it
based on past accomplishment and visible talent as Bernard Hopkins and Roy
Jones faded from their peaks, later strengthening his position with a solid
2006-07 campaign. Conversely, Pacquiao has become nothing short of a
phenomenon. His knockout win over Miguel Cotto on November 14, 2009, gave
him a title claim in his record seventh weight class from Flyweight to
Welterweight from ages 19-30. It adds more shine to a resume which
featured a record fourth lineal World championship after Pacquiao’s May
drubbing of Ricky Hatton. He skipped two classes, Jr. Bantamweight and
Bantamweight, altogether. In six of seven classes, Lightweight excluded,
he defeated either the perceived best man in class or someone with a strong
claim to the top, defeating three easy future Hall of Famers in Marco
Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales and Juan Manuel Marquez at Featherweight and
Jr. Lightweight. Once upon a time, Jimmy McLarnin and Tony Canzoneri were
able to compete with world class talent across a similar scale variance.
That was over seventy years ago. Roberto Duran did it in more recent
vintage and Tommy Hearns started bigger but also played huge spreads. Only
all-time greats have ever done what Pacquiao is doing right now. Readers
may draw what conclusions they will from that.
2) Floyd Mayweather (40-0, 25 KO)
Age: 32
Current Title: None
Career Titles: World Jr. Lightweight champion (1998-2001); World
Lightweight champion (2002-04); World Welterweight/147 lbs. (2007-09);
additional alphabelts at 130, 135, 140, 147 & 154 lbs.
Last Five Opponents: Juan Manuel Marquez, Ricky Hatton, Oscar De La Hoya,
Carlos Baldomir, Zab Judah
Up Next: May 1, 2010 vs. Shane Mosley (46-5, 39 KO)
My Take: Mayweather has taken so many lumps for his choices of opposition
over the last few years that the general quality has become underrated.
The underwhelming 2003-05 run was a disappointing waste of prime, but most
his last five wins have come against good, sometimes very good, if not
great opposition. It’s really the story of his career, even when he was
fighting some beasts at 130 and 135 lbs. There’s a lot of good, even
some very good, which make the picture of a great fighter, but Mayweather
has lacked most what lays before him. In Manny Pacquiao, he could have had
an undeniably great opponent. Against a 39-year old Shane Mosley coming
off a lengthy layoff, we’ll see. Being Mosley, an experienced pro who is
never out of shape, one can presume he’ll still be one hell of a
challenge. Mayweather’s accomplishments already make him a Hall of
Famer, with genuine World championships at 130, 135 and 147 lbs. along with
belts at 140 and 154. Mosley gives him an opponent people have genuinely
wanted to see him face for over a decade and, importantly, an opponent who
his fans can point as every bit as impressive as those who have made up
Pacquiao’s run.
3) Shane Mosley (46-5, 39 KO)
Age: 38
Current Title: WBA Welterweight
Career Titles: World Welterweight (2000-02); World Junior Middleweight
(2003-04); Additional Alphabelt at Lightweight
Last Five Opponents: Antonio Margarito, Ricardo Mayorga, Miguel Cotto, Luis
Collazo, Fernando Vargas (twice)
Next Opponent: May 1, 2010 vs. Floyd Mayweather (40-0, 25 KO)
The Take: It was supposed to be a unification contest in January with
Andre Berto. Now, it’s something more. It’s everything Mosley could
have asked for. On the heels of his mammoth knockout win of Antonio
Margarito in early 2009, Mosley was the perceptual man at Welterweight.
Inactivity, the rise of Pacquiao, and the man who briefly retired and
vacated the lineal Welterweight crown without losing it, Mayweather, made
his position tenuous. Mosley earned high regard with Margarito and string
of mostly solid performances in a 7-1 run since a pair of losses to Winky
Wright in 2004. It wasn’t entirely his fault that the fights he earned
couldn’t get made last year. The Berto fight went away due in part to a
natural disaster. Any other fighter, off for this long, likely falls out
of the ratings. Mosley has a chance to say where he stays or goes of his
own accord May 1.
4) Paul Williams (38-1, 27 KO)
Age: 28
Current Title: None
Career Titles: Two alphabelt reigns at Welterweight
Last Five Opponents: Sergio Martinez, Winky Wright, Verno Phillips, Andy
Kolle, Carlos Quintana (twice)
Next Opponent: TBA
The Take: Williams continues to find new ways to impress. In his last
outing, he was hurt badly and dropped at the end of the first round and yet
found a way, a will, to win by night’s end even if the scoring of the
fight left the verdict with a less than ‘official’ feel. That the
fight with Sergio Martinez took place at all is just as impressive. In a
situation like what Williams found himself in, when a crack at World
Middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik fell apart, many a fighter would have
looked for a placeholder opponent until the money fight could be
resuscitated. Williams instead took on one of the elite Jr. Middleweights
in the world and wound up in a Fight of the Year candidate. Few big names
have had interest in Martinez just as few, once upon a time, had much
interest in Antonio Margarito. Williams is building a big name by being
the interested party and keeps passing tests. Avenging a loss? Williams
came back from a decision defeat to stop Quintana in one round. Pushing
aside the past? Williams became the first man to stop Phillips since the
Reagan Administration and shut out Winky Wright. Now we’ve seen just how
much heart he has in the Martinez war. The one-time Welterweight (who
still claims he can make it that far down the scale) is poised for a make
or break year in terms of just how elite he will be…as soon as he can
find an opponent for May. He’ll look for the winner of April’s Kelly
Pavlik-Sergio Martinez Middleweight title fight after that.
5) Chad Dawson (29-0, 17 KO)
Age: 27
Current Title: Interim WBC Light Heavyweight
Career Titles: Another Alphabelt at 175
Last Five Opponents: Antonio Tarver (twice), Glen Johnson (twice), Epifanio
Mendoza, Jesus Ruiz, Tomasz Adamek
Next Opponent: August 14, 2010 vs. Jean Pascal (25-1, 16 KO)
The Take: This Light Heavyweight star in the making has put together an
impressive run since toppling veteran Eric Harding in 2006. His win over
Adamek was almost bell to bell control; Adamek has since established
himself as the best Cruiserweight in the world and is now busting up
Heavyweights. Johnson and Tarver give him wins over two recent, popular
choices for Light Heavyweight champion of the World. Johnson was hell the
first time around but Dawson showed his learning curve in a decisive
technical victory in their November 2009 rematch. What Dawson has lacked
is a compelling young opponent who can match his speed and play on his
willingness to fight, sometimes to his own detriment. The Johnson rematch
victory gave Dawson the interim WBC belt at 175. The full belt is held by
the athletic and exciting Jean Pascal. The two are headed for a clash and,
given the speed and willingness to battle both men have, it should be a
circled date on any boxing fan’s calendar.
6) Bernard Hopkins (50-5-1, 32 KO)
Age: 45 Years Young
Current Title: None
Career Titles: Ring Light Heavyweight/175 lb. titlist (2006-2008); World
Middleweight/160 lb. Champion (2001-2005); Alphabelt titles at 160 lbs.
from 1995-2005
Last Five Opponents: Enrique Ornelas, Kelly Pavlik, Joe Calzaghe, Winky
Wright, Antonio Tarver
Next Opponent: April 3, 2010 vs. Roy Jones Jr. (54-6, 40 KO)
The Take: After taking over a year off, Hopkins returned in December with a
nice workout against the Middleweight Ornelas. It was supposed to be a
shake the rust off moment as he prepared for a ‘generation in the
making’ rematch with Roy Jones. Jones went and got dusted by Danny Green
in Australia in the first round. Hopkins is fighting the rematch anyways.
It’s a riskier fight than it looks. Jones might be a ghost of who he
was, but he’s not dead. If he wins, what is the impact on Hopkins’s
legacy in terms of the peaks of his times? The outcome seems so foregone
as to not be worth pondering, but the question is out there. For now,
it’s observed that Hopkins has talked about fighting real fights since
his win over Kelly Pavlik in 2008 and hasn’t. Everyone around him is.
He slid and could slide again shortly but, really, does it matter? The
only real ratings that matter come when a fighter is gone and Hopkins has
shored those up. He’s one of the game’s living legends and he’s
earned the right, from a business perspective, to whatever he wants.
Heading into 2010, others have earned the right to move ahead of him until
Hopkins (inevitably?) reminds the world again just why he’s so special in
the first place.
7) Juan Manuel Marquez (50-5-1, 37 KO)
Age: 36
Current Title: World Lightweight/135 lb. Champion (2008-Present)
Career Titles: Alphabet titles at 126, 130 lbs.
Last Five Opponents: Floyd Mayweather Jr., Juan Diaz, Joel Casamayor, Manny
Pacquiao, Rocky Juarez
Next Opponent: TBA
The Take: It may have seemed unfair for Marquez to drop in the ratings
after Mayweather. He made a bold move, challenged the scale, and lost to a
man who probably beats him at any weight. Life, much less boxing, is not
fair and the calendar has much to do with his fall on this chart. The list
of men who moved up in middle age, took a bad loss, and returned to be
champions is short for a reason. Shane Mosley has done it but Marquez
isn’t quite the same caliber athlete. History says his best days will be
behind him, particularly faced with the speed of young Lightweights or Jr.
Welterweights. He could prove the world wrong but he’ll need to do so to
move back to where he was. As it stands, he is a testament to patience. A
fighter who waited years for his first belt, still more for a chance to be
a star, has gone from good fighter to Hall of Famer all since 2004. The
loss to Mayweather cannot change that and a proposed match with former Jr.
Welterweight champ Ricky Hatton could be a nice reminder for all.
8) Hozumi Hasegawa (28-2, 12 KO)
Age: 29
Current Title: WBC Bantamweight
Last Five Opponents: Alvaro Perez, Nestor Rocha, Vusi Malinga, Alejandro
Valdez, Cristian Faccio
Next Opponent: April 30, 2010 vs. Fernando Montiel (40-2-2, 30 KO)
My Take: The old saying goes that punchers are born, not made. How then to
explain the explosions coming from the fists of Japan’s Hasegawa, the
world’s premiere 118 lb. warrior? For the fifth fight in a row, Hasegawa
sent his opponent home early. To Alvaro Perez’s credit, he lasted longer
than the four men before him, making it all the way into round four before
being flattened. It’s not that his opponents have been world beaters.
They have merely been good, solid professionals for the most part but two
of them (Rocha and Malinga) had never been stopped. Hasegawa did both
challengers in the first round. It’s an exciting turn for a fighter who
looked like a win-by-work rate sort when he defeated the excellent
Veeraphol Sahaprom for his belt in 2005. The way Hasegawa is dispatching
of foes speaks to a fighter who, with ten title defenses under his belt,
has reached the peak of his powers. Those powers are set to be tested in a
big way with WBO Bantamweight, and three-division total, titlist Montiel
headed to Japan in April. It’s the first showdown between reigning
Bantamweight title holders in decades and a chance for Hasegawa to show off
what Japan has been privilege to watch for the last few years.
9) Timothy Bradley (25-0, 11 KO)
Age: 26
Current Title: WBO Jr. Welterweight
Career Titles: Additional alphabelt at Jr. Welterweight
Last Five Opponents: Lamont Peterson, Nate Campbell, Kendall Holt, Edner
Cherry, Junior Witter
Next Opponent: June 26, 2010 vs. Luis Abregu (29-0, 23 KO)
My Take: Bradley is the best active fighter in arguably boxing’s deepest
pool of talent today. There are some divisions which struggle to field
more than five real candidates for the top of the class. Jr. Welterweight
has a top ten which isn’t big enough for all of the talent swimming
around. Bradley burst from the pack in 2008 with an upset win, on the
road, over the long avoided Brit Junior Witter to win the WBC belt. Since
then, he’s only faced one fighter (Cherry) who would be considered a
softer touch and through 2009, Bradley found ways to look better in each
outing. He came off the floor to win a unification battle with Holt and
was dominating veteran former Lightweight titlist Nate Campbell before an
accidental cut shortened their affair in the third. Perhaps most
impressive, Bradley bested the unbeaten Lamont Peterson while showing off a
fully developed toolbox. Bradley began aggressively, dropping Peterson,
and then met him in the trenches for sustained warfare as Peterson willed
himself back into the fight. As Peterson got close, Bradley changed
tactics again, moving and boxing to contain the affair. He has become a
genuine jack of all trades, a combination of elite speed, footwork,
defense, and offensive activity who reminds that the application of the
sweet science need not be dull. Is the pending Abregu non-title fight a
sign of Welterweight risings to come? If so, maybe the unification at 140
with Devon Alexander really should come as soon as possible.
10) Ivan Calderon (33-0-1, 6 KO)
Age: 35
Current Title: World Jr. Flyweight/108 lb. Champion (2007-Present)
Career Titles: Additional alphabelts at 105 & 108 lbs.
Last Five Opponents: Rodel Mayol (twice), Hugo Cazares (twice), Nelson
Dieppa, Juan Esquer, Ronald Barrera
Next Opponent: TBA
The Take: Calderon, inactive since September and with no fight currently
locked in place, teeters on the brink of removal but an interesting
mandatory with Johnriel Casimero looms. It should happen sooner than
later. Struggles with Rodel Mayol in 2009 didn’t help Calderon’s
standing but perhaps they weren’t what they appeared. While the
circumstances were controversial, Rodel Mayol followed two competitive
affairs with Calderon (a technical draw and loss, both shortened by cuts)
with a win over the 108 lb. division’s longest reigning titlist, Edgar
Sosa. Hugo Cazares, since his second loss to Calderon in 2008, has emerged
as a serious force at 115 lbs. Arguably the best pure boxer of the decade,
Calderon is certainly aging. He needs a big fight before his legs don’t
have the bounce for him to win it. Are there any big fights to be had?
Mexico’s Giovanni Segura would certainly be close to the real deal.

Me das weba Mandy no te gusta la realidad y la cambias a tu gusto,
fantaseas me das pena. En ingles leo y hablo perfecto pero no es mi lengua
materna y tu sin embargo mi estimado Mandy paresiera que te da mas orgullo
tu relacion de colonizado con tu patria Paterna EUA que con tu
insignificante madre patria P.R. no dudo por un segundo que te sientes
impotente y frustrado, pobre cabron...

les recomiendo a los puertorriqueños pendejos que se compren un paqueton
de trusas jajaja este juanmalopez alias el cara de chango esta que no cabe
en el boxeo, aqui en mexico tenemos un buen numero de campeones y muchos
mas que estan saliendo en cambio los puercoriqueños son contados
incluyendo a su gran idolo el culon ese que si no corre vuela jajaja el
ivan correlon no mames que verguenza me da ese guey y siendo sinceros
mayweather, mosley, vencieron a los mexicanos por se la llebaban puro
abrazando, como si fuera lucha libre no mames, eso no es boxeo un peliador
como esos, es logico que ba a ganar, por que anda de culon algo que no
caracterisa al boxeo mexicano, aqui te enseñan a tirar golpes y cada quien
adopta su estilo pero nunca andando de culon abrazando.
