Berto Injured; Ortiz Fight Postponed
Jan 31st 2012, 22:33

Andre Berto suffered a ruptured left biceps while training yesterday. The injury will require surgery and forced the indefinite postponement of his rematch with Victor Ortiz, which had been scheduled for February 11 in Las Vegas. The entire card, which was also slated to include Erislandy Lara vs. Ronald Hearns and Gary Russell Jr. vs. Dat Nguyen, has been canceled.

Depending on how long Berto is sidelined, Ortiz may take an interim bout before the rematch is rescheduled.

The Fighter: Fact vs. Fiction
Jan 30th 2012, 11:03

The Fighter gets a lot of its facts about the career of Micky Ward right, including several fight sequences which are amazing in their accuracy and attention to detail. In other places, the film takes liberties with the historical record, some for dramatic effect and others for no apparent reason whatsoever. Here's what we have identified as inaccurate in The Fighter:

* The movie has Ward being on a losing skid coming into the Mike Mungin fight in 1988. In reality, Ward was 18-1 and on a four fight winning streak heading into the Mungin fight. Ward's four fight losing streak mentioned in the movie actually took place in 1990-1991.

* The movie makes a big deal out of Ward being outweighed by 20 pounds in his fight with Mungin. In real life, Ward weighed in at 136.5 and Mungin at 145, an 8.5 pound difference.

* The movie depicts Ward taking a terrible beating in the Mungin fight. In reality, the fight went the full ten rounds and Mungin won by very narrow decision: 96-93, 95-94, 95-94.

* The movie mentions a number of Ward opponents - Manetti, Collins and Hernandez - during one montage. In reality, Ward never fought anyone by those names.

* The movie makes it seem like Ward's upset of Alfonso Sanchez secured his title shot against Shea Neary. In reality, Ward beat Sanchez on April 12, 1997 and faced Neary on March 11, 2000, almost three years later and with six other fights in between (in which Ward went 4-2).

* The movie has Ward's career record as 30-7 with 20 KOs as he enters the ring to fight Neary. In reality, his record was 34-9 with 25 KOs. What did the filmmakers gain by making this change?

* The movie has Ward and Neary both weighing 146 pounds. Ward weighed in at 140, Neary at 139. Again, what was gained by making these changes?

* The movie has Ward's mom, Alice Ward, sitting at ringside with his girlfriend Charlene for the Neary fight. In reality, Ward's mom was not present at that fight.

* The movie has Ward being knocked down in round three of the Neary fight. In reality, Ward was never knocked down during the Neary fight.

* The movie has Ward hopelessly behind on the scorecards when he rallies to KO Neary in round eight. In reality, HBO's Harold Lederman had Neary ahead 67-66 entering the eighth round.

* Finally, and most frustratingly to fight fans, the movie makes a big deal out of Ward's fight with Neary being for the world title. In reality, it was for the WBU (World Boxing Union) title. No one considers the WBU beltholder to be the true world champion. Neary, who fought exclusively in the U.K. and Ireland, won the vacant WBU title by defeating Darryl Tyson, who "earned" his shot at the title by getting stopped by Oscar De La Hoya in two rounds.

Did you notice any other historical inaccuracies? If so, please share them with us!

Tom Molineaux: Important Figure in Boxing History
Jan 29th 2012, 16:45

Tom Molineaux was born a slave in Virginia in 1784. In 1810, he fought for the heavyweight championship of England in one of the most important fights in the history of boxing. Just eight years later, a penniless Molineaux died of liver failure in Ireland at the age of 34. He was elected to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1997. This is his story ...

Amateur Boxing Rules
Jan 28th 2012, 11:04

Article VII, Section 107.7 -- Awarding of Points

(1) Directives. In awarding points, the following directives shall be observed.

(a) Concerning blows.
(1) Scoring blows. During each round, a judge shall assess the respective scores of each boxer according to the number of blows obtained by each. Each blow to have scoring value must, without being blocked or guarded, land directly with the knuckle part of the closed glove of either hand on any part of the front or sides of the head or body above the belt. Blows landing as above described are scoring hits. The value of blows scored in a rally of infighting shall be assessed at the end of such rally and shall be credited to the boxer who has had the better of the exchanges according to the degree of said boxer’s superiority.
(2) Non-scoring blows. Non-scoring blows are blows which are struck by a boxer:
(a) while infringing any of the rules;
(b) with the side, heel, or inside of the glove or with the open glove or any part other than the knuckle part of the closed glove;
(c) which lands on the arms;
(d) which merely connect, without the weight of the body or shoulder.

(b) Concerning fouls â€" “W,” “X” and “J.”
(1) There are three symbols the Judge uses to annotate fouls on the score card â€" “W,” “X” and “J”.
(a) W â€" Referee’s Warning. If the referee issues a “warning” against one (or both) of the boxers, the judge will indicate a “W” on the score card in the column of the offending boxer. The judge will also note the reason for the warning (i.e. W - holding).
(b) X â€" Judge disagrees with referee’s warning. If the judge concludes “unequivocally” that the warning was inappropriate or in error, the judge will annotate an “X” in the appropriate column and indicate the reason for the warning (i.e. X â€" low blow). In this case, there will be no addition to the number of scoring blows awarded the “fouled” boxer. It must be noted if the judge did not see the foul or was unsure if it was a foul, the judge will accept the advice of the referee and issue a “W” for warning.
(c) J â€" Judge’s warning. If the judge detects a foul, apparently unnoticed by the referee, the judge may impose a warning by writing a “J” on the score card in the column of the offending boxer. The judge will also note the reason for the judge’s warning (i.e. J â€" ducking). A “J” warning carries the same penalty as a “W” warning.

(c) How to administer the penalty (foul).
(1) The purpose of using a tally counter or similar scoring device is to mimic the computer scoring system. Administering the penalty (foul) will also mimic the computer scoring system. These are the rules a judge must use to administer the penalty (foul).
(a) “W” - Two scoring blows will be added to the round score of the FOULED boxer. This will be done for each “W” occurring in that round.
(b) “X” - In this case no scoring blows will be added.
(c) “J” - Two scoring blows will be added to the round score of the FOULED boxer. This will be done for each “J” occurring in that round.
(d) When using tally counters or similar scoring devices, there will be no “offsetting” fouls. Two scoring blows will be added to the round score of any boxer fouled.
(e) The judge must immediately note the foul in the remarks column of the scorecard, when given by the referee. A judges warning must be noted prior to the beginning of the next round.

(d) Concerning the award of scoring blows.
(1) At the end of the bout the scores for each of the rounds will be totaled and the winner will be the one with the higher score.
(2) If, at the end of a bout, having marked each round, the judge finds that the boxers are equal in scoring blows after totaling the scorecard, the judge is required to select a winner. The judge must record the criteria for the selection of the winner. The judge must record the criteria for the selection of the winner in the remarks column next to the scorecard total of the winner. The criteria for selecting a winner is as follows:
(a) Who has done most of the leading off or was the effective aggressor? If equal, in that respect:
(b) Who has shown the better defense (blocking, parrying, ducking, side-stepping, etc.) by which the opponent’s attacks have been made to miss? If still equal:
(c) Who boxed cleaner and had the better style?
(d) A winner must be nominated in all USA Boxing competitions (in AIBA dual matches, a draw decision may be awarded).
(3) Knockdowns. No extra points shall be awarded for a knockdown.
