*[[Showtime Championship Boxing]] (Main Event)

== Notes ==

* Antonio Tarver 29-6 (20 KOs) vs. Lateef Kayode 18-0 (14 KOs)
* Tarver entered as the #6 cruiserweight contender in the world according to [[The Ring Magazine]]. Kayode, a 3/1 betting underdog, was ranked #8 by the same publication. [http://ringtv.craveonline.com/ratings/cruiserweight] [http://msn.foxsports.com/boxing/odds/moneyline]

== Antonio Tarver 'No Contest' Steroid Controversy ==

* On June 22, 2012, the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) announced Tarver's prefight urinalysis tested positive for the steroid Drostalolone (Maseron). According to RingTV, Antonio Tarver's draw with Kayode was ruled a 'No Contest'. Tarver, the 43 year old IBO Cruiserweight Champion, was fined $2,500 USD. In addition, Tarver, who earned a handsome $1.1 Million USD for the bout, was suspended. Drostanolone is a steroid created to fight certain forms of breast cancer, but it is also used as an ancillary drug to combat estrogenic side effects caused by other or mass-building steroids such as water-retention. Tarver stated the result was a false positive, and appealed the CSAC ruling which changed the fight result, and caused his suspension and fine. The IBO title remained in Tarver's hands until Tarver's appeal was heard, in a situation similar to [[Chad Dawson]] versus [[Bernard Hopkins]] I. The IBO world cruiserweight title then went vacant, and was regained by former IBO WOrld Cruiserweight champion [[Danny Green]], who had previously lost the IBO belt to Tarver in Australia.

<fight>1588375</fight>

== Notes ==
* [[Danny Green]] 31-3 (27 KOs) vs. [[Antonio Tarver]] 28-6 (19 KOs)
* Green entered as the # 6 cruiserweight in the world according to [[The Ring Magazine]]. Tarver, who was making his first appearance at the 200 lb. limit, was unranked by the same publication. [http://ringtv.craveonline.com/ratings/cruiserweight]

== Bout Summary ==
"Tarver knocked Green down in the second and pummeled him again in the ninth. Green, clearly dazed, wobbled around the ring putting an arm around Tarver. Green's corner had seen enough and stopped the fight. Apart from a strong seventh round, Green was on the back foot for most of the fight. He was wobbled twice in the first and would have been knocked down on one of those occasions if the ropes hadn't held him up. There was no reprieve in the second as a cracking left sent him to the floor. Southpaw Tarver used his jab to control the fight and Green frequently found himself on the ropes, unable to mount any sustained pressure."

<fight>1917998</fight>
*'''[[International Boxing Federation]] Heavyweight Title''' (17th defense by Klitschko)
*'''[[The Ring Magazine]] Heavyweight Title''' (10th defense by Klitschko)

==Notes==
*The Klitschko brothers' promotional company, [[K2 Promotions]], won the right to promote the fight with a purse bid of $7,250,131. Klitschko received 80 percent ($5,800,105), and Pulev got 20 percent ($1,450,026).
*Klitschko entered the fight as the [[IBF]], [[WBO]], and [[WBA|WBA "Super"]] World Heavyweight Champion.
*Pulev entered the fight ranked No. 1 by the IBF, No. 4 by the WBA, and No. 7 by the WBO. He was not ranked by the WBC.
*Only the IBF title was on the line because Pulev chose not to pay the sanctioning fees of the other organizations.
*This was Klitschko's tenth successful defense of [[Ring Magazine|''The Ring'']] World Heavyweight Championship.
*There was a sellout crowd of 15,000 at the O2 Arena.
*Pulev was down four times: twice in round one, once in round three, and once in round five. The final knockdown was the result of a left hook. Pulev went down flat on his back and was counted out.
*Klitschko landed 38 of 89 punches (43 percent), according to [[Compubox|CompuBox]] statistics. Pulev was credited with connecting on 25 of 110 punches (23 percent).
*Pulev went to the hospital after the fight. "There is nothing broken, the CT was unremarkable," said Chris Meyer of [[Sauerland Event]], Pulev's promoter. "No bleeding in the brain, only a slight concussion.”
*Before the fight, Pulev said of Klitschko: "He has everything that you need to be a world champion, but he has no heart. He's like a girl."
*After the fight, Klitschko said of Pulev: "I have never seen such arrogance from an opponent and there was a price to pay for that. I don't think he realized he was playing in the champions league."
*Following his knockout loss, Pulev said: "Wladimir is a really good opponent, but he was lucky. I want a rematch. I'll win the next time."
*Pulev elected not to pay sanctioning fees for the WBA, and WBO titles. [http://espn.go.com/blog/dan-rafael/post/_/id/11040/pulev-can-only-win-one-of-klitschkos-belts]

Laila Ali vs. Christy Martin

<fight>633963</fight>

----

[[File:Ali-Martin.jpg|right|300px]]
Laila Ali, daughter of boxing legend Muhammad Ali, continued to build her own ring resume on Saturday with a fourth-round knockout of women's boxing pioneer Christy Martin.

Ali pounded Martin from the opening bell, and had her on her knees in the third round.

When Ali sent her to the canvas 48 seconds into the fourth, Martin was counted out.

Ali, 25, improved to 16-0 with 13 wins inside the distance and was congratulated in the ring by her famous father.

Martin, 35, fell to 45-3-2, with 30 wins inside the distance.

Ali had vowed to stop Martin inside five rounds, and she came out to make good on the prediction.

“I usually box but I had to jump on her,” Ali said. “I'm definitely stronger than her. Christy is tough, she's definitely tough, She cracked me, but she didn't hurt me.”
In all fairness weights need to be noted here. Martin comes in with added weight; however, her natural was welter and Jr.welter until this. This match up actually Super-middleweight with Ali +2 lbs over middleweight cut- off limits. (Three weight divisions jump here...)

Fitzgerald holds double New England championships at the time [154 &160 lbs] & both boxers bit over 160lb here. When match is stopped, Wilkinson corner moves to 'seat him'. The boxer broke from corner and jumped imediately from the Ring and walked thru the audience, back to his hotel room/changing station in mini protest (Within a few months, Ring magazine criticized -all- Referees in the Bushkill establishment as "stopping fights to early", but, Sean Fitzgerald was well on his way to winning his 14th straight fight here) Ernest Mateen - Art Bayliss main evented this production.

Savannah the 1991 National [165 lb]Golden Gloves champ. My team [Cisco Zayas & Jim "Jimbo" Isperduli] was calling Frank "Lou Duva's Secret weapon" whole night.
Savannah went onto '12' world rating and would lose once only in the career..a cut-eye stoppage vs top contender Dana Rosenblat.
