Results: Manfredo Stops Smichet in 7th…Calls Out Ireland’s John Duddy
April 18, 2009
MONTREAL
Former world title challenger Peter Manfredo, Jr. knocked out tough Tunisian veteran Walid “Tempete de Sable” Smichet in the seventh round of today’s scheduled 10-round co-feature at Montreal Casino
The 28-year-old Manfredo (32-6, 16 KOs), star of The Contender, Season I, got his career back on the right track with a strong performance against Smichet (20-6-3, 14 KOs), who had been knocked out only once in 28 prior pro fights, by Renan St. Juste in 2006. Manfredo accomplished what neither unbeaten world title contender John Duddy nor Canadian middleweight champion Sebastien Demers had been able to do in their 10 and 12 round fights, respectively, against Smichet.

Tomasz Adamek Ought To Have Exceptional Bargaining Powers
Saturday April 18th, 2009
by K.M. Stansen
As a big fan of Tomasz Adamek I was personally appalled at how he was low-balled and discarded by the Hopkins camp recently, and I am of course in awe that he’s not already a huge draw. Adamek is not only for all intents and purposes the Undisputed Cruiser Weight Champion, but he also has provided fans with both sharp technical displays and epic battles. Though it’s clear as crystal that with worthless political intervals such as displayed recently, that the belts become more and more irrelevant and brand name has become God. How can one plausibly offer an Undisputed Champ half a mil, and when it’s rejected make a public statement that goes something like ‘I’m not here to give charity?” Needless to say, we saw that the ordeal ended with an intriguing bout getting axed at the negotiation table, yet again, and a great, but somewhat under looked fighter losing an opportunity to crack the top 10 P4P list and getting insulted.
OtG 365: Pacquiao-Hatton 24/7 Watch…Floyd Mayweather Sr.
Saturday April 18th, 2009
by Jesse Rican
Here at Www.OnThEGRiNDBoXiNG.coM we’ve decided to do our own 24/7 watch, the 1st installment in the series focuses on Floyd “Joy” Mayweather Sr.
“I think I can save Ricky’s life.” Is this simply a boast easily dismissed as an exaggeration?
Not if Hatton’s life is boxing, which it is…and what a job the best trainer in the world has done with Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton.
Floyd Sr., with his own professional Record of 29-6 (losing his last three matches), and sharing the ring with such greats as Sugar Ray Leonard, proved himself to be a solid boxer in his day. His career came to an end abruptly when he caught a bullet in the leg courtesy of his brother in-law (wow, talk about dysfunctional family). Read more »

Manny Pacquiao, Ricky Hatton news conference is a con jobAs with most boxing title matches, this lead-up show is not about the fighters but definitely about the window dressing. An old wives' tale claims they once held a boxing news conference and there was actual news.
