== Notes ==
[[File:Furyklitsch Poster.jpg|300px|thumb|World Heavyweight Championship Poster, Kollisionskurs at Esprit Arena]]
* Tyson Fury, following in the steps of [[Lennox Lewis]], brought the unified World Heavyweight Championship back to the United Kingdom with a 12 round unanimous decision over Wladimir Klitschko. At 26 years of age and standing 6'9" to Klitschko's 39 years of age and 6'6", Fury became the first fighter ever to legitimately outpoint Klitschko, dealing him his first loss in eleven years. The bout was marked by frequent clinches but not much punching. Despite being in center ring, Klitschko landed only 52 punches all night, for an average of 4.5 punches a round and only four body shots the whole night. Pawing with his jab using an 85 inch reach advantage, Fury waited for the cautious Klitschko to counter. However, with a shorter 81 inch reach, Klitschko couldn't, and wound up with a cut beneath his left eye trying to get inside, apparently from an accidental butt after a clinch in the fifth round. It was rounds into the bout before Klitschko could land a punch at all. Klitschko did not really try. Fury got a deserved one point deduction in round eleven for rabbit punching. Klitschko tried to throw punches in round 12 and won it, his best round of the bout. Nothing hurt Fury, however. Fury landed 86 punches, of which 48 were crisp power shots, many of them to the head, which proved to be the difference on the judge's scorecards. Klitschko stated he wanted a rematch.

*'''vacant [[WBA]] World Heavyweight Title'''

== Notes ==
* Promoted by Timur Dugazaev of Terek Boxing Events. Over thirty thousand fans in attendance for the event at Ahmat Arena, which was a sellout.
* Ruslan Chagaev 32-2-1 (20 KOs) versus Fres Oquendo 37-7 (24 KOs). Complete fight on YouTube: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHg-P0y4F-U]
* Chagaev entered the title bout as the WBA #3 heavyweight contender, while Oquendo entered as the WBA #4 heavyweight contender.
* Southpaw Chagaev fought the bout coming forward landing some good head and body shots, while Oquendo fought side to side as counterpuncher. Oquendo got stronger as the fight went on, Chagaev looked tired entering the championship rounds. Oquendo started slow but finsihed strong looking like the stronger fighter. Chagaev looked tired and thrilled when the final bell ended. It was a very tactical fight and the experience of both fighters as well as respect for each other was evident. The 12th round the crowd was on its feet and it was an exciting finish as Oquendo looked for the KO and Chagaev looked for the fight to end fighting smart.
* Cut over the left eye gave Chagaev some trouble from the fourth round, enabling Oquendo to keep the bout close. The corner dealt with the cut and stopped the bleeding.
* First world championship bout and card of note in Chechnya. Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov was in attendance at ringside.
* Boxing celebrities included [[Evander Holyfield]], [[David Haye]], [[Marco Huck]], and [[Artur Grigorian]]. Ring commentary was provided by [[Michael Buffer]].
* If Oquendo had won one more round, it would have been a majority draw. There were only a few holds. The bout was fought cleanly.
* According to Oquendo's Chicago promoter Bobby Hitz, Oquendo's contract called for mandatory WBA world title rematch in 120 days and is scheduled for November 2014.
* At age 41, Oquendo would have been the oldest man to claim a share of the world heavyweight title since [[George Foreman]] in 1995.
* The ring appeared one of the largest rings seen in a televised world championship bout or anywhere.
* Oquendo now has a total of 319 rounds fought as a professional Heavyweight making him the most experienced ranked heavyweight besides Wladimyr Klitschko who has 330 rounds in the books
* Oquendo had originally withdrawn from the fight due to his wife and newborn child sick in the ER & ICU. In order to save the event, Oquendo flew out from Chicago on Friday July 4th and arrived in Grozny in time for the weigh-in on Sat July 5th. The fight was held on July 6th about 24 hours after Oquendo arrived in Grozny. Oquendo had not trained for 2 weeks prior to this fight and had not slept since leaving Chicago on July 4th. Nate Jones, Dino Spencer and Tom Tsatas trained Oquendo and George Hernandez was the cut man in Oquendo's corner.
* Oquendo failed the post fight drug test. He was tested positive for two banned substances (tamoxifin and anastrozole) [http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&opt=printable&id=84625]

== Notes ==
[[File:Maypaq.jpg|220px|thumb|right]]
*Floyd Mayweather Jr. 47-0 (26 KOs) vs. Manny Pacquiao 57-5-2 (38 KOs)
*Mayweather Jr. entered as the #1 boxer pound-for-pound in the world and the welterweight champion according to [[The Ring Magazine]]. Pacquaio was ranked as the #3 boxer pound-for-pound and the #1 contender for the welterweight title.
*Per the contract, Mayweather will receive 60% of the fight purse, and Pacquiao 40%.1
*It will be the 11th consecutive fight and 14th fight overall for Mayweather Jr. at the [[MGM Grand]] in Las Vegas. It was the 11th fight for Pacquiao at the venue.
*Olympic-style drug testing (blood and urine) was agreed upon with the World Anti-Doping Agency code, which calls for a four-year ban from competition for any athlete who tests positive for PEDs. Supervision of testing was handled by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. Mayweather first insisted on USADA testing for his fight against [[Shane Mosley]] in May 2010, after Pacquiao declined to participate in blood testing - citing religious reasons - a stance that led to the scrapping of the first attempted negotiation for a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. Mayweather later claimed in a video that Pacquiao used performance-enhancing substances, referring to “power pellets,” which led Pacquiao to sue Mayweather and ultimately collect a settlement believed to be in the $5-million range.2
*Ticket prices for the event were between $1,500 and $7,500 at face value.1
*The pay-per-view prices were $89 for standard definition and $99 for high defintion; both all-times highs for a pay-per-view event. The previous high was $74.95 for high-definition and $64.95 for standard.5
*The WBC announced that it would present a unique, emerald-plated belt to the winner. The WBA will present a special trophy.
*Among the sparring partners for Pacquiao were [[Kenneth Sims Jr]] and [[Rashidi Ellis]].4
*According to Compubox, the fight against Mayweather set the record for Manny Pacquiao to land and throw the least number of punches in his 14 fights which have gone the 12-round-distance.

== Quotes ==
*"I'd like to thank all the people that made this fight happen. I love challenges and this is the biggest challenge of my life - and it is finally here. I've been looking forward to this for a long time. I'm going to get my fighter as ready as possible. We are in the toughest fight of our lives, we are fighting the best fighter in the world... but we are going to kick his ass. I'm sorry, but good luck, Floyd."- [[Freddy Roach]], Pacquiao's trainer. 3
*"I've never wanted to win a fight so much in my life."- Mayweather Jr.3
*"For the fans of boxing, I believe, this is what you are waiting for since five years ago. The fight is on and I know you are very excited. Both of us are going to undergo hard training for this fight and we will do our best on May 2 to make you happy." - Pacquiao3

== Notes ==

[[file:Tysondouglasposter.jpg|right|250px]]
*[[The Ring Magazine]] named Tyson vs. Douglas [[Ring Magazine Upset of the Year|Upset of the Year]] for 1990.
*Tyson made over $6 million and Douglas got $1.3 million.
*Douglas entered the fight as a 42-to-1 underdog.
*Douglas' mother suffered a stroke and died 23 days before the fight. Those around Douglas sensed a new resolve when he went back into training after his mother's funeral. He was dedicated like never before.
*Douglas controlled the fight from the beginning, working behind a strong jab on the outside and tying up Tyson when he got inside. This was Tyson's third fight without [[Kevin Rooney]], his long-time trainer, and the incompetence of his new trainers, [[Aaron Snowell]] and [[Jay Bright]], was never more evident. Tyson's left eye started to swell by the fifth round, but Tyson's corner didn't have an enswell, a standard piece of equipment for any corner, so Snowell filled a latex glove with ice and put that on Tyson's eye between rounds. [[Teddy Atlas]], Tyson's former amateur trainer, said, "Those two guys couldn’t train a fish to swim.” With six seconds left in the eighth round, Tyson dropped Douglas with a right uppercut. Douglas got up at the count of nine and that was the end of the round. Douglas regained control in the ninth round and wobbled Tyson with a left. In the tenth round, Douglas hurt Tyson with a right uppercut, then followed up with a combination, finishing with a left that put Tyson down for the first time in his career. Tyson put his knocked-out mouthpiece in backwards and tried to get up, but his legs were too wobbly. Referee Octavio Meyran waved the fight over and wrapped his arms around the rubbery-legged Tyson.
*After the fight, promoter [[Don King]] attempted to have the result voided, claiming the referee had given Douglas a "long count" when he was down in the eighth round. King said video replays showed Douglas was down for more than 10 seconds. The IBF recognized Douglas as champion, but the WBC and WBA withheld recognition of Douglas' victory pending a review. WBC president [[Jose Sulaiman]] said his organization would hold a hearing on February 18, and WBA president [[Gilberto Mendoza]] said his group would meet within ten days. There was a tremendous backlash against the WBC and WBA, and on February 13, the two sanctioning bodies announced that they would recognize Douglas as champion. It was later learned that the [[British Boxing Board of Control]] and several state commissions in the U.S. had threatened to withdraw from the WBC if the organization failed to recognize Douglas' victory.
*Douglas filed a lawsuit to break his promotional contract with King and signed a conditional contract to make his first title defense at The Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Douglas claimed that King breached their contract when he tried to have Douglas' win against Tyson overturned. An out of court settlement gave King the right to promote a Douglas-Tyson rematch, but Douglas would first defend against [[Evander Holyfield]] at The Mirage, a promotion in which King would have no direct pecuniary interest.

Christina Hammer vs. Anne Sophie Mathis

2014-07-29T19:54:19Z

Deslizer:

<fight>1902266</fight>

While Hammer was clinching after a exchange in the fifth round, Mathis landed several blows with her right hand to Hammers left ear.
Suddenly, Hammer went down to the canvas and struggled to come back to her feet. Referee Manfred Kuechler decided that Hammer was unable to continue and decided to disqualify Anne Sophie Mathis for punching to the back of the head.
Although Mathis previously showed rabbit punches, she wasn't deducted a point.
Therefore she was very upset for being disqualified for rabbit punching, although she thought that she landed legal punches to Hammer's ear, which sent her opponent to the canvas.

The controversy continued. On July 28, 2014, the World Boxing Federation's Executive Committee declared the bout a "No Contest" and restored the World Boxing Federation Women's World light middleweight title to Ms. Mathis:
http://worldboxingfederation.net/yy-wbf-article0475.htm

The sanctioning commision, the [[Bund Deutscher Berufsboxer]] followed the WBF's decision on the July 29th and changed the bout's outcome to a "No Contest".

<fight>1899490</fight>

* In a relatively even bout, which appeared to be much closer than the scorecards indicated, Robert Stieglitz won by TKO against game opponent Sergey Khomitsky. Stieglitz was the more busier fighter, while Khomitsky focussed on single punches.

* A left-right combination sent Stieglitz to the canvas in the end of round nine. However, the referee ruled it a slip.

* Khomitsky was taken out of the fight at the start of round 10 while his right glove was retaped. According to WBO supervisor Beate Poeske, Khomitsky's corner took off the loose tape from Khomitsky's wrist, which was ruled as prohibited. According to Miss Poeske, Khomitsky's corner was only allowed to cover the loose tape with furthermore tape. Khomitsky was already dealing with a loose tape in the previous rounds. Miss Poeske said, that Khomitskys corner had no more tape in reserve and that there was no cutman, who could deal with the situation. So, the WBO's statement was, that Khomitsky was taken out of the fight at the beginning of round ten, because his corner was not able to retape the right glove and because Khomitskys cornerman detached the rest of the loose tape.

So, the WBO's statement was, that Khomitsky was taken out of the fight at the beginning of round ten, because his corner was not able to retape the right glove and because Khomitskys cornerman detached the rest of the loose tape.

*Chris Algieri won his third world title (two in kickboxing, and one in boxing) and raised his overall professional record to a solid 40-0.
*Algieri was down for flash knockdowns twice in the first round with a swollen right eye. Provodnikov went down once later, ruled a slip.
*Algieri's right eye appeared swollen and blinking in the first round after getting hit. Noted cutman Big George Mitchell solved the problem.
*Algieri trounced Provodnikov in terms of the overall punch count and punches landed. However, Provodnikov landed the harder blows.
*Provodnikov came forward all night with pressure. However Algieri used his height and reach advantage to perfection, scoring frequently.
*Provodnikov admitted after the bout his style didn't go well with stick and move running fighters like Algieri, who he didn't want to chase.
*Many rounds were close, Algieri landed more in almost every round, while Provodnikov landed the more telling blows. A split decision resulted.
*Algieri admitted after bout his right eye was swollen shut after the eleventh round, and he had fought the final round blind in the right eye.
*According to CompuBox, the 12th round was the only round in which Provodnikov outthrew or outlanded Algieri. Nevertheless judge Tom Schreck from New York was the only judge who scored the last round for Algieri (also from New York). If Schreck wouldn't have given Algieri the last round, the bout would have been declared a draw with Provodnikov remaining the title.
*TV commentator, noted judge [[Steve Weisfeld]] explained scoring differences between number of punches landed versus power punches.
*TV commentator [[Andre Ward]] noted how a fighter, even with an eye closed, could anticipate and avoid the punches coming as Algieri did.

The fight was promoted by Evander Holyfield and Murad Muhammad in Holyfields home of Texas.
Oquendo was nearly prevented from participating due to Tonsillitis and strep throat by 2 MD including the UCLA Medical center. He was not allowed to travel from LAX to Texas unless he wore a protective medical face mask and was running a 102 fever up until the actual night of the fight.

* Some thought this bout's decision was questionable, such as FightWriter.net's Graham Houston, who felt that Oquendo earned a narrow victory [http://www.fightwriter.com/?q=node/516].

'''Klitschko stops Austin in second round''' 
Associated Press, March 11, 2007
[[file:Klitschkoaustin poster.jpg|right|325px]]

MANNHEIM, Germany -- Wladimir Klitschko successfully defended his IBF heavyweight title Saturday night, dropping Ray Austin with a flurry of left hooks and stopping the American challenger in the second round.

The Ukrainian knocked down Austin 87 seconds into the round with at least three left hooks. The American climbed to his feet, but referee Eddie Cotton stopped the fight.

"I was surprised he got back up, but he wasn't clear in the head," Klitschko said. "I was motivated by the talk from Austin and his promoter, Don King, before the fight."

Klitschko improved to 48-3 with his 43rd knockout in the mandatory defense; Austin fell to 24-4 with four draws and 16 knockouts.

Neither Austin nor King, both of whom had called Klitschko heartless before the bout, showed up at the postfight news conference.

Klitschko established himself among the best of the heavyweight division with wins over Samuel Peter of Nigeria, Chris Byrd and Calvin Brock.

Both fighters were listed at 6-foot-6 and 246 pounds, with Austin's camp hoping another big heavyweight would trouble Klitschko.

But Austin didn't land a meaningful blow in the first round.

Klitschko measured Austin with his left hand until he caught him on the ropes. The Ukrainian snapped Austin's head sideways with the first left hook, and then followed with a series of hooks, some missing as the American fell to the canvas.

Klitschko never used his right hand that was responsible for most of his knockouts and earned him the nickname Dr. Steelhammer.

"What you saw today, you're going to more of the future -- Wladimir is developing new punches, besides the right and the jab," trainer Emanuel Steward said.

The crowd of 15,000 roared for Klitschko went he walked in, then jeered a fight that featured just a handful of punches.

Austin had been stopped just once before in his four losses, in the ninth round, by Attila Levin in July 2001. It also was his last loss.

The 30-year-old Klitschko won the title in April, stopping Byrd in the seventh. Next up, his camp hopes, is a unification fight against WBA champion Nikolai Valuev, the 7-foot Russian.

"Valuev wants it and I want it," Klitschko said. "But you can imagine how hard it is to deal with Don King."

Austin earned the title shot with a draw in July against unbeaten Russian Sultan Ibragimov.

The bout was televised in more than a hundred countries. Former world champions Lennox Lewis and Vitali Klitschko made short guest appearances in the ring. [http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2794166]

'''Klitschko KOs Rahman in seventh, retaining IBF, WBO heavyweight belts''' 
Associated Press, December 14, 2007
[[file:5d3dc832-519b-4b66-b819-6fc93171ec5e.jpg|350px|right]]
MANNHEIM, Germany -- Wladimir Klitschko defended his IBF and WBO heavyweight crowns by stopping Hasim Rahman in the seventh round at SAP Arena on Saturday.

Klitschko hit the shorter, older and heavier Rahman at will throughout, and after landing a left-right-left combination against the cornered American, referee Tony Weeks stepped in to end the contest 44 seconds into the round. Rahman didn't appear upset.

"He knew this was his chance," Klitschko said, "I was surprised, but he was much slower."

Klitschko had knocked down Rahman in the previous round with successive left hooks.

The technical knockout in Klitchsko's sixth defense of the IBF belt -- and third this year -- improved the Ukrainian-born fighter to 52-3 with 46 KOs.

"He fought a very smart, intelligent fight," said Klitschko's trainer, Emanuel Steward.

Rahman, the two-time heavyweight champion who stepped in as a replacement opponent last month, struggled to get inside the taller Klitschko's reach, and dropped to 45-7-2.

The fighters started out fast and light on their feet, but it soon became apparent that Rahman was struggling to overcome the 3½-inch height advantage enjoyed by the champion. Rahman had to lean in drastically, and Klitschko easily fended off his punches.

Rahman did little more than lean on the ropes for a time and guard his face as Klitschko sought his opening.

"Wladimir was very smart not to throw too many punches and to be very patient and to work behind his left jab," Steward said.

Rahman looked reinvigorated in the fourth round, using his whole torso to make ambitious attacks, often connecting with Klitschko's body.

But he rarely landed blows above Klitschko's shoulders, and the consequences were clear when Klitschko dropped Rahman early in the sixth with two hard lefts to the side of his head.

Rahman got up but spent the remainder of the round in the corner, taking a sustained beating.

Another flurry at the opening of the seventh ended Rahman's challenge.

Klitschko also retained the minor IBO belt.

He was originally scheduled to face Alexander Povetkin (16-0), but the Russian pulled out with an ankle injury.

Klitschko cited Povetkin along with fellow Russian Nikolai Valuev and American Cristobal Arreola as signs that heavyweight talent is improving.

He also mentioned British boxer David Haye, who monopolized the post-fight press conference with a challenge to Klitschko's older brother, Vitali.

"I want to fight him because he's the big one," Haye said. "He in my opinion is the best fighter."

Vitali Klitschko, who reclaimed the WBC heavyweight title in October by stopping Samuel Peter, said he might fight Haye in 2009.

"We'll see," Klitschko said. "I would gladly fight against him."

On the undercard, former heavyweight champion Riddick Bowe made a modest comeback with an eighth-round decision over Germany's Gene Pukall. It was just the third fight in a decade for the 41-year-old American and his first in three years.

Bowe (45-1, 33 KOs) had been training in Germany since September in an effort to get his stamina up and his weight down. The work paid off in the ring, where he kept up with the 33-year-old Pukall (14-13-2, 12KOs) and bested him with a stream of careful head shots.

== Notes ==

* Dr. Klitschko wins by fourth round stoppage, a total mismatch over Mormeck, retains WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO World heavyweight titles
* Mormeck, 40, who won a 12 round split decision over [[Timor Ibragimov]] in a 2011 eliminator bout for this opportunity, lacked power. 26-0 [[Seth Mitchell]] then kayoed Ibragimov in 2, a telltale sign.
* Wladimir Klitschko 57-3 (50 KOs) defeats Jean-Marc Mormeck 36-5 (22 KOs) in Germany. Inactivity and lack of power at this weight probably meant Mormeck would do better back to cruiserweight.
* The bout was originally scheduled for December 10th, 2011, but had to be rescheduled as Klitschko was forced to have two operations at the first of the month to remove kidney stones. [http://sports.yahoo.com/box/news?slug=ap-klitschko-mormeckcanceled]
* For Mormeck, who entered as high as a 20/1 betting underdog, it was just the fourth bout at heavyweight and he came in having not fought in 15 months. [http://msn.foxsports.com/boxing/odds/moneyline]
* By the numbers, 40-34 scorecards if Mormeck had survived the fourth round would have meant Mormeck would have had to win all eight of the remaining rounds to win the bout, an impossibility.
* After the fight Wladimir Klitschko named [[Tyson Fury]], [[David Price]], [[Alexander Povetkin]], [[Seth Mitchell]] and [[Chris Arreola]] as possible future opponents. [http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/early-results-from-germany-36-109510]. It should be mentioned that Klitschko may have to make a mandatory defense against [[Tony Thompson]] as his next fight.
* According to Compubox' punchstats, Mormeck landed only 3 blows, meaning he earned about $200.000 for each landed punch.

'''Wladimir Klitschko pummels Jean-Marc Mormeck''' 
By [[Dan Rafael]], [[ESPN]].com, March 5, 2012
[[File:Klitschko-KOs-Mormeck.jpg|400px|right]]
Klitschko, 35, of Ukraine but a hero in Germany, is the No. 1 heavyweight on the planet, the legitimate champion in the midst of a historic title reign that began in 2006. He is 6-foot-6, a chiseled 245 pounds and possesses tremendous one-punch power in his right hand and a murderous jab. Mormeck, France's most popular active fighter, is 39, stands only 5-11, weighs 216 pounds and is not a big puncher. Moreover, the former cruiserweight champion had not fought in 15 months and in his three-fight heavyweight campaign (following a more than two-year retirement) he had looked positively awful. He looked bad against club fighter Vinny Maddalone, got a hometown gift decision against Fres Oquendo and was almost as lucky to escape with a hometown split decision against Timur Ibragimov.

There is a reason he was a massive, massive underdog against Klitschko, who hand-picked Mormeck for his 11th defense even though Mormeck was one of the most unworthy heavyweight title challengers in recent boxing history. Klitschko and his older brother, fellow champ Vitali Klitschko, have essentially cleaned out the top 10 of those willing to face them. So Wladimir, who fought only once last year in his wipeout of former titlist David Haye (who ended Mormeck's second cruiserweight title reign before moving up in weight), took this soft-touch fight and still drew a crowd of about 50,000 to Esprit Arena for a fight originally scheduled for December but postponed when Klitschko needed surgery to remove a kidney stone a week before the bout.

Hopefully, the fans got a dose of entertainment from the theatrical ring walks because that was about as much drama as there was. Klitschko, as expected, dominated Mormeck, who could not do anything whatsoever against the champion in one of the most pathetic displays a heavyweight title challenger has ever put forth. Try these stats on for size, courtesy of CompuBox: Mormeck was 0-for-2 in first-round punches, 1-for-5 in the second round, 2-for-8 in the third round and 0-for-4 in the fourth round. That means in the 10 minutes, 12 seconds that the fight lasted, Mormeck landed only three punches out of 19 thrown (a putrid 16 percent). Klitschko, meantime, landed 39 of 135 (29 percent) and scored a spectacular knockout. The size, speed, power and talent disparity was stark.

Klitschko more or less used the first round to feel Mormeck out and leaned on him, almost to excess, in order to sap some of his energy. (That's an old trick taught by his trainer, Emanuel Steward.) But then it was basically target practice for Klitschko. You got the feeling that he could have ended the fight any time he pleased. When he finally began to let his hands go, he dropped Mormeck with a clean right hand in the second round. He continued to abuse him in the third round and then put together a nasty three-punch combination to end the fight -- a left hook, right hand and another left. Mormeck went down and, although he tried to beat the count, referee Luis Pabon counted him out at 1 minute, 12 seconds.

The knockout gave Klitschko No. 50 of his career, a milestone for sure. He moved alone into fifth place on the all-time list for knockouts by a heavyweight champion, breaking the tie had been in with Hall of Fame legends Joe Louis and Jack Dempsey. Klitschko, a 1996 Olympic gold medalist and a two-time champion, also moved to 18-2 with 15 knockouts in world title fights with no obvious challenger on the horizon. So Klitschko will keep on going and try to rack up defenses. He does owe Tony Thompson, whom he knocked out in the 11th round of a 2008 mandatory defense, another mandatory shot, so he is probably next. Klitschko would like to come to America before the end of the year and could face Cristobal Arreola -- who was already knocked out by Vitali in a title bout -- in the U.S. in the fall. Whomever Klitschko faces next, he is likely to be another significant underdog against a star champion who has won all of his defenses in dominant fashion and not been even remotely challenged in any of them.

Denis Lebedev vs. Guillermo Jones

<fight>1781796</fight>
*'''[[World Boxing Association]] World Cruiserweight Title''' (2nd defense by Lebedev)
*'''Ring Announcer:''' [[Michael Buffer]] 

== Bout Summary ==
At age 41, using reach advantage, WBA World Cruiserweight champion Guillermo Jones landed long right hand leads out of range and busted up, cut up and closed the right eye of 'the other' WBA World Cruiserweight champion Denis Lebedev in the first round to seize the tempo of the bout immediately.
Jones pummeled southpaw Lebedev with powerful right uppercuts which did major damage to Lebedev inside. The ring appeared very large, and Jones wasted to time with hand speed, foot movement, coming forward with pressure. Jones worked from the outside patiently, settling the issue of who the true WBA champion was, turning Lebedev's face into a cruel caricature of himself. Lebedev got beaten senselessly while trying to survive with one eye. Lebedev countered by throwing and landing a ton of shots which by punch volume scored.

Lebedev was ahead on the cards at the time the bout ended. Nothing Lebedev threw bothered Jones in the slightest. Jones walked through Lebedev's power shots, and continued to target Lebedev's eye. Jones continued landing power rights on Lebedev's blind side, who continued coming forward and took a brutal beating on his right eye. The eye damage sustained by Lebedev was horrible. To the protect the fighter, the fight should have been stopped early, and would have been anywhere else. The Russian Boxing Federation would not allow the bout to be stopped despite the disfiguring right eye injury to Lebedev, which got uglier with each passing round.

Jones did not want the bout to go to a decision and the Russians did. Jones attacked both of Lebedev's eyes with short power shots. Lebedev was now bleeding from the corner of his left eye as well. Finally, in round eleven, with Lebedev's right eye having sustained permanent damage to the extent he might not allowed to fight again for medical reasons, Jones landed a left hook to the right eye of Lebedev which doubled him over, then followed with a power right hook which sent Lebedev face first to the canvas knocked out, where referee [[Stanley Christodoulou]] counted him out at 1:54. Jones, 39-3-2, 31 knockouts, Colon, Panama, a [[Don King]] fighter, settled the issue of who the true World Boxing Association World Cruiserweight champion was. Lebedev fell to 25-2, 19 knockouts, Chekhov, Russia. First time in WBA history two recognized defending WBA World Cruiserweight champions stepped into the ring to face each other. [[Don King]] was in the ring after the bout.

Before this bout, Guillermo Jones was declared 'champion in recess'. The A-sample of Jones tested positive for a banned substance. The B-sample was later tested and supported the A-sample finding. The win stands, but Jones was stripped of the WBA belt subsequently.

== Rematch ==

After being tested positive, the WBA reinstalled Jones as 'champion in recess'.
Within 2013, the sanctioning body ordered Lebedev to make a mandatory defense against Jones. After a longer negotiation period, the bout was planned for the 25th April 2014, in Moscow, Russia.

Five days prior to the fight, the swiss anti doping laboratory 'Laboratoire suisse d'Analyse du Dopage' (LAD) took samples of both fighters.
At the day of the fight, it was announced that Jones A-sample was tested positive for the banned substance Furosemide.
Forusemide could be used as masking agent for other substance (f.e. steroids), therefore it is included on banned drug lists, like other diuretica.

With the finding, that Jones was tested positive for the '''same''' substance he was tested for after the first fight, the planned rematch was cancelled.

'''From ESPN.com:'''

Hopkins-Shumenov began extremely slowly with neither fighter doing much in the first two rounds, although Shumenov appeared to have a slight edge. But Hopkins, a notoriously slow starter, began to pick things up and had a strong third round, landing a hard overhand right that got the crowd to begin chanting "BHop! BHop!"

Hopkins continued to find a home for his right hand in the fourth round and although fighting at a measured pace, landed some hard jabs and also cracked Shumenov with a clean right hand to the jaw in the fifth round.

Shumenov, often a volume puncher, was nothing like that, giving Hopkins too much respect. He was throwing one punch at a time and was wide open for Hopkins' left-right combination. In the seventh round, Hopkins stepped hard into a series of punishing jabs that rocked Shumenov.

Hopkins continued to pound Shumenov with counter right hands and then hurt him badly in the 11th round.

Hopkins, who hasn't had a knockout since stopping Oscar De La Hoya with a body shot in the ninth round of a middleweight unification fight in 2004 and hadn't had a knockdown since dropping Joe Calzaghe in the first round of a light heavyweight title fight in 2008, feinted with a jab and followed with a powerful overhand right that nailed Shumenov on the side of the head and dropped him with less than two minutes left in the round.

"I wanted to be patient and not overshoot the runway and get overexcited but I knew he was hurt," Hopkins said. "He went down to one knee and bought some time. Then he started grabbing me and the bell rang.

"But [trainer] Naazim [Richardson] was begging me to throw that six-inch right hand over the jab. I didn't get it off earlier. It was there the whole fight. But he has an awkward style. I've been around 26 years, seen everything and I made the adjustments.

"I was having fun. I wanted to show that I can stand in the pocket. I got hit with some good shots but I never wavered. I tried to stop him. He's tough but I was going for it."

After the knockdown, the crowd erupted into chants of "BHop! BHop!" again and he continued go after Shumenov. Although clearly ahead in the 12th round, Hopkins was still on the attack in the last round and the crowd cheered his every move.

*Former judge [[Harold Lederman]] scored the bout 115-113 for Tomasz Adamek.
*[[B.J. Flores]] scored the bout 115-113 for Steve Cunningham, [[Bryant Jennings]] scored 117-113 for Cunningham too.
 
Part of a four-man elimination tournament by the IBF. Adamek and Cunningham fought for the #2-spot of the IBF rankings, while [[Kubrat Pulev]] and [[Alexander Ustinov]] battled for the #1-spot. However the fight between the winners Pulev and Adamek fell through as Adamek declined an offer to fight Pulev due to financial issues. [http://www.boxingscene.com/adamek-passes-on-pulev-makes-no-financial-sense--62346 Adamek stated], that he has been offered an opportunity to fight in Poland for far more money than he would get for fighting Kubrat Pulev.
