Teofilo Stevenson
Jul 31st 2011, 10:02

Who Is Teofilo Stevenson:
Teofilo Stevenson represented Cuba as a heavyweight boxer in the 1972, 1976 and 1980 Summer Olympics and won the Gold medal each time.

Where Is Teofilo Stevenson Now:
Stevenson is perhaps the greatest boxer that never competed professionally. He remained loyal to Cuba and Fidel Castro and never defected, despite numerous offers to turn pro. Stevenson was reportedly even offered a lucrative bout against Muhammad Ali.

In 1999, Stevenson was arrested before boarding a United Airlines flight at Miami International Airport for allegedly headbutting a 41-year-old ticket agent. Stevenson claimed an anti-Cuban "agitator" was shouting insults at him and members of the Cuban national boxing team. Stevenson returned to Cuba after being released on bail and failed to attend subsequent court proceedings.

Stevenson is currently Vice President of the Cuban Boxing Federation. In that role, he commented on the status of two Cuban fighters who disappeared from the Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro in July 2007. The two were eventually arrested for overstaying their visas and were sent back to the island.

Amateur Boxing Rules
Jul 31st 2011, 10:02

Article VII, Section 107.8 -- Method of Scoring

(1) A judge is advised to fixate in between the two boxers; do not develop a tendency to study or follow just one of the boxers.

(2) Never rely on past performance, reputations or titles earned by a particular boxer.

(3) Amateur boxing is scored on a point system, not on a round basis.

(4) The winner is decided on the majority of judges, i.e., 5-0, 4-1 or 3-2.

(5) Amateur boxing is scored on a legal scoring blow system not on a round basis.

(6) Decisions.
(a) Types of decisions.
(1) Win on points. At the end of a contest the boxer who has been awarded the decision by a majority of the judges shall be declared the winner.
(a) If both boxers are injured or down simultaneously and cannot continue the contest, the judges shall record the points gained by each boxer up to its termination, and the boxer who was leading on points up to the actual end of the contest shall be declared the winner.
(b) AIDS Stoppage Rule: If both boxers are bleeding or where one boxer is bleeding and the opponent has an open cut or abrasion, the referee may stop the bout and take the boxers to the doctor to be examined. If the bout is stopped the boxer ahead on points shall be the winner.
(2) Win by retirement. If a boxer retires voluntarily owing to injury or other causes, or if a boxer fails to resume boxing immediately after the rest between rounds, the opponent shall be declared the winner. If a boxer retires during the rest between rounds, the referee will immediately notify the jury and the judges of the retirement and the other boxer is declared the winner.
(3) Win by referee stopping contest (RSC).
(a) Outclassed. RSC is a term used to stop a bout when a boxer is outclassed or unfit to continue.
(1) If a boxer, in the opinion of the referee, is being outclassed or is receiving unnecessary and excessive blows, the bout shall be stopped and the opponent declared the winner.
(b) Outscored. RSC-OS is only used with the Computer Scoring System and stops a bout when a boxer is outscored as follows:
(1) If one boxer has a 20-point advantage (for Open and Under 19/Junior men), or a 15-point advantage (for Women and Junior Olympics/Cadets) over their opponent, the bout must be stopped except in the last round, and the boxer with the advantage is declared the winner.
(c) Injury:
(1) If a boxer, in the opinion of the referee, is unfit to continue because of injury or other physical reasons, the bout shall be stopped and the opponent declared the winner. The right to make this decision rests with the referee, who may consult the doctor. Having consulted the doctor, the referee must follow the doctor’s advice.
(2) When a referee calls a doctor into the ring to examine a boxer only these two officials should be present. Coaches should not be allowed into the ring or on the apron.
(3) The ringside physician has the right to request the bout be suspended if the physician thinks, for medical reasons, the bout should not be allowed to continue.
(d) Compulsory Count Limits. When a male boxer has three compulsory counts in the same round or four counts during the same bout, the match must be stopped. When a female boxer has two compulsory counts in the same round or three counts during the same bout, the match must be stopped. A count issued for a harm foul is not included in this number.
(4) RSC(H). If a boxer is down due to head blows, and fails to box within eight to 10 seconds, whichever is applicable, the opponent shall be declared the winner by RSC(H). For more information on awarding RSC(H), see section 107.1.
(5) Win by disqualification. If a boxer is disqualified, the opponent shall be declared the winner. A boxer is automatically disqualified for not making weight or for committing three warnings in a bout. If both boxers are disqualified, the decision shall be announced accordingly. A disqualified boxer is eliminated from the tournament and shall not be entitled to any prize, medal, trophy, honorable award or grading, relating to any stage of the competition in which the boxer has been disqualified.

Mike Tyson Fight-by-Fight Career Record

Mike Tyson - Photo Gallery - 1986-1989

May 1, 2002 - "I'm just like you. I enjoy the forbidden fruits in life, too. I think it's un-American not to go out with a woman, not to be with a beautiful woman, not to get my dick sucked ... It's just what I said before, everybody in this country is a big fucking liar. (The media) tells people ... that this person did this and this person did that and then we find out that we're just human and we find out that Michael Jordan cheats on his wife just like everybody else and that we all cheat on our fucking wife in one way or another either emotionally, physically or sexually or one way."

May 1, 2002 - "There's no one perfect. We're always gonna do that. Jimmy Swaggart is lascivious, Tyson is lascivious -- but we're not criminally, at least I'm not, criminally lascivious. You know what I mean. I may like to fornicate more than other people -- it's just who I am. I sacrifice so much of my life, can I at least get laid? I mean, I been robbed of my most of my money, can I at least get head without the people wanting to harass me and wanting to throw me in jail?"

May 1, 2002 - "I feel like sometimes that I was born, that I'm not meant for this society because everyone here is a fucking hypocrite. Everybody says they believe in God but they don't do God's work. Everybody counteracts what God is really about. If Jesus was here, do you think Jesus would show me any love? Do you think Jesus would love me? I'm a Muslim, but do you think Jesus would love me ... I think Jesus would have a drink with me and discuss ... why you acting like that? Now, he would be cool. He would talk to me. No Christian ever did that and said in the name of Jesus even ... They'd throw me in jail and write bad articles about me and then go to church on Sunday and say Jesus is a wonderful man and he's coming back to save us. But they don't understand that when he comes back, that these crazy greedy capitalistic men are gonna kill him again."

June 8, 2002 - Tyson is knocked out by Lennox Lewis in the eight round in Memphis, Tennnessee.

Jan. 13, 2003 - Tyson is divorced from his wife Monica, with whom he has two children.

Feb. 22, 2003 - Tyson knocks out Clifford Etienne in the first round in Memphis, Tennnessee.

May 28, 2003 - In an interview, boxer Tyson denounces Desiree Washington as "just a lying, reptilian, monstrous, young lady. I just hate her guts. She put me in that state where, I don't know, I really wish I did now. Now I really do want to rape her and her fucking mama."

June 21, 2003 - Tyson allegedly beats up two autograph seekers in the lobby of the Brooklyn Marriott.

July 11, 2003 - A bodyguard files suit against Tyson, claiming that the boxer punched him twice in the face, breaking his left orbital bone.

Aug. 1, 2003 - Tyson files for bankruptcy in New York.

Sept. 13, 2003 - Tyson attends a charity benefit at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch. When asked why he came, Tyson confesses "Because I've got nothing else to do."

Sept. 21, 2003 - Rap artist 50 Cent purchases Tyson's 48,000-square-foot mansion in Farmington, Connecticut for $4.1 million.

June 28, 2004 - In an interview, Tyson announces that since declaring bankruptcy "I've got nowhere to live. I've been crashing with friends, literally sleeping in shelters. Unsavoury characters are giving me money and I'm taking it. I need it. The drug dealers, they sympathise with me. They see me as some sort of pathetic character ... I know I was a tough, bad-ass talking fighter, but I ain't no mob figure. I did my time for the rape. I paid my money to Las Vegas. I paid my dues. I ain't the same person I was when I bit that guy's ear off."

July 30, 2004 - Tyson is knocked out in the fourth round by Danny Williams in Louisville, Kentucky.

June 11, 2005 - Tyson fails to come out for the seventh round against Kevin McBride in Washington, D.C.. After the fight, Tyson said "I don't have the stomach for this anymore. I most likely won't fight anymore. I'm not going to disrespect the sport by losing to this caliber of fighter".

Jul 31st 2011, 01:49

Ever dreamed about entering a boxing ring with Mike Tyson? Well, here's your chance ... even though the former heavyweight champion is retired.

Whoever has the highest score on Mike Tyson Main Event, the boxer's official Apple iOS game, between now and August 21 will be flown to Las Vegas in October to get in the ring with Iron Mike for a free training session.

Go ahead and give it a try, but be aware that your odds of winning are slim ... the game's maker, RockLive, says it has been downloaded over 1.6 million times since it was launched earlier this year.

Boxing: What's Hot Now: Leon Spinks

Boxing: What's Hot Now
These articles that had the largest increase in popularity over the last week
Leon Spinks
Jul 26th 2011, 10:02

Who Is Leon Spinks:
Leon Spinks represented the United States as a light heavyweight boxer in the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal and won the Gold medal. He and Michael Spinks became the first brothers to win Gold medals in the same sport at the same Olympics.

On February 15, 1978, in only his eighth professional fight, Spinks outpointed Muhammad Ali over 15 rounds to capture the world heavyweight title. Spinks lost the title back to Ali just seven months later and his career went into an irreversible tailspin. He last fought in 1995, ending with a pro record of 26-17-3.

Where Is Leon Spinks Now:
Spinks was reportedly homeless just over a decade after winning the heavyweight title. Later, after getting divorced, he briefly lived in a shelter in his native St. Louis. He's been a greeter at Mike Ditka's restaurant in Chicago. He also helped start a gym in Detroit and did assorted odd jobs in California.

More recently, he was living in Columbus, Nebraska and working at a local YMCA and McDonalds. He was also volunteering at an after-school program for youth.

Spinks' son, Cory Spinks, is a former welterweight and junior middleweight world champion. Leon can usually be spotted in or around the corner at each of his son's fights.

Michael Spinks
Jul 26th 2011, 10:02

Who Is Michael Spinks:
Michael Spinks represented the United States as a middleweight boxer in the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal and won the Gold medal. He and Leon Spinks became the first brothers to win Gold medals in the same sport at the same Olympics.

As a pro, Michael became the first light heavyweight champion to capture the heavyweight title when he outpointed Larry Holmes - who was trying to tie Rocky Marciano's 49-0 record - in 1985. Spinks' final bout was in 1988 when he was knocked out in 91 seconds by Mike Tyson. After his first and only loss, Spinks retired with a record of 31-1 with 21 KOs.

Where Is Michael Spinks Now:
Spinks is the rare world class fighter who left the sport with money and his health and was never lured back into the ring. Spinks was inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame in 1994 but remains nearly invisible on the boxing scene these days.

The intensely private Spinks lives in a seven-bedroom house - not including the guest house - on a secluded five-acre spread outside Wilmington, Delaware. He remains close with his former promoter, Butch Lewis. On the rare occasions that Spinks is seen in public, it's typically at an event that Lewis is promoting.
