<p>Tomtsatas: </p> <hr /> <div>&lt;fight&gt;1362004&lt;/fight&gt;<br /> <br /> *'''[[WBO]] [[NABO]] Heavyweight Title''' (Vacant title)<br /> *'''[[IBA]] Heavyweight Title''' (Vacant title)<br /> *'''Aired on:''' [[Versus]]<br /> <br /> ==Summary==<br /> <br /> In an exciting heavyweight bout, three time world champion James Toney won the IBA and WBO NABO Heavyweight Titles by a 12 round split decision over former 2 Time heavyweight title challenger Fres Oquendo. Oquendo threw more total punches in every round and landed more total punches on 8 out of the 12 Rounds. Oquendo clearly won 11( 22-6 blows) and 12 ( 32-11 blows)as well as hurting toney in the 11th round but failed to finish the granite chin former champion. Oquendo closed the show by outlanding Toney 109-47 the last 4 rounds. However, In what must be the most bizarre moment in professional boxing in 2008, in round 4, Oquendo pushed Toney towards the ring ropes during a clinch, and Toney slipped on one of the mat advertisements on the ring floor and rolled out of the ring! He immediately climbed back into the ring uninjured and the action resumed. After one warning, Referee Dr. Lou Moret finally took a point away from Oquendo in round 8 for rabbit punching. After watching the replay it is obvious Oquendo hit Toney on the ear and not behind the head. The one point penalty proved costly, as it not only cost Oquendo a round he was winning, but ultimately cost him the fight. Toney fought a clean bout. As the scores were announced, Toney knelt in his corner in prayer for 'one more chance' at the heavyweight title. Oquendo once again appeared to be in shock after another robbery of the year candidate.<br /> * Versus viewers had Oquendo winning in the scoring 115-113<br /> * Versus blows report: Oquendo 222/740 30%, Toney 154/491 31%.&lt;br&gt;<br /> * Versus announcers had Oquendo winning 116-112.&lt;br&gt;<br /> * Most Boxing writers had Oquendo winning 116-112<br /> <br /> {{start box}}<br /> {{Fight Succession Box|<br /> before=[[Hasim Rahman vs. James Toney (2nd meeting)|Rahman vs. Toney II]]|<br /> title=[[NABO Heavyweight Title Fights|NABO Heavyweight Title Fight]]&lt;br&gt;# 24|<br /> after=[[Brian Minto vs. Donnell Holmes|Minto vs. Holmes]]|<br /> }}<br /> {{end box}}</div>

<p>Tomtsatas: </p> <hr /> <div>&lt;FIGHT&gt;1659175&lt;/fight&gt;<br /> Oquendo returned against Travis Fulton who has a record 295 MMA fights.<br /> Oquendo broke Fulton's nose in round 1 with a lead left hook.<br /> Oquendo was taken down in an MMA style take down while Fulton was trying to hold on. <br /> Fulton never landed a punch in the fight. Fulton, twice had points taken away and given an 8 count.<br /> Ref waved off fight after Oquendo battered Fulton in round 2.<br /> OQUENDO WAS NEVER KNOCKED DOWN in the fight. There appears to be some discrepancy weather the fight has been ruled a DQ or TKO.</div>

It quickly became the celebrated University of Boxing, overseen by Chris, the “Wizard of Oz”, and his brother Angelo, the “Prince of Oz”. The gym was also a magnet for a wide range of international celebrities including Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Jackie Gleason, Malcolm X, The Beatles, Sean Connery, Frank Sinatra, Sylvester Stallone, and a myriad of others who were absorbed into the gym’s legendary mystique. Boxing people the world over sent their fighters to be trained at the 5th St. gym. Every possible thing that could be taught about this grim profession of boxing was taught by the Wizard. It originally lasted around four decades and created countless world champions, such as Carmen Basilio, Willie Pastrano and the greatest of them all, Cassius Clay-who then became the ubiquitous Muhammad Ali. He still remains the shining accomplishment of Oz (5th St. Gym).<br /> <br /> It helped shape the history of Miami Beach. It is synonymous with the history of Miami Beach for what it was and will become once again. The gym became a tourist attraction in the decayed streets as the money had moved north the Fountain Bleu and Eden Roc. The biggest names and fighters paraded through this magical gym known as 5th St Gym; Ali, Basilio, Griffilth, Arche Moore, Willie Pep, Sonny Liston, Roberto Duran. The list is infinite. As shabby and unkempt the area was, the gym simply belonged.<br /> <br /> It has taken many years, but once again the gym has come alive. The Wizard is gone. The original concrete is gone. Ali and Pacheco have aged along with the Prince. However, magic is magic- and the love of boxing goes on. The rebirth of the 5th St. Gym will continue to keep its spirit alive. With perhaps a few more strong years remaining, the energy and legacy of Ali, Basilio, Angelo Dundee, and Ferdie Pacheco will, too, live on.<br /> <br /> Tom Tsatas, Dino Spencer and Matt Baiamonte re-opened Oz; with the guidance and blessing of Angelo and his son, Jimmy Dundee, the gym once again is resurrected in its original location at 5th and Washington. Matt Baiamonte, Angelo Dundee’s chief trainer and protégé is the direct lineage for the gym. Dino Spencer, who has lived his life in the gym and trained under current world renowned trainer Freddy Roach, is there side by side to condition, work corners, and teach a new crop and changed generation the art of conditioning, boxing and a new found sport of MMA to youth, women and new-comers. Finally, Tom Tsatas, who coincidentally shares the same birthday with Muhammad Ali (Jan 17th), uses his passion for boxing to take on the insurmountable task of reviving the marvel that is the 5th St. Gym-thus, sustaining the legacy of its predecessor. Although Cassius Clay or The Wizard Chris Dundee can never be replaced, for there can only ever be one of each, the world is sure to see a new line of acomplished fighters emerge from the 5th St. Gym. This new Oz trio will use the surreal energy of the living legends of Angelo Dundee, Muhammad Ali, and Ferdie Pacheco to uphold the memory of some of the greatest individuals in boxing history. The gym has already had celebrities such as Matt Damen and Dave Chepelle training at the famous gym as well as the likes of WBA Heavyweight Champ David Haye, Fres Oquendo, Lucian Bute, George Groves, Anthony and Andre Direll and Melissa Hernandez training there. Visitors have included Muhammad Ali, Shannon Briggs, Nazeem Richardson, Bert Sugar, Glen Johnson, Ray &quot;Boom Boom&quot; Mancini, Emanuel Steward, Floyd Mayweather, Antonio Margarito and many many others. The gym is open to beginners, amateurs, pros, soccer mom's and weekend warriors. On any given day you can see glimpses of the original as Muhammad Ali, Angelo Dundee and Ferdie Pacheco can stroll in there unannounced to live the memories of the magic known as 5th St. Gym.<br /> <br /> * Located at 5th Street and Washington Avenue on South Beach 555 Washington (305) 763-8110<br /> <br /> BOOKS: Tales from the 5th St. Gym by Ferdie Pacheco<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Gyms|5th Street Gym (Miami)]]</div>
