Jones Stops Gunn In 8

Future Hall of Famer Roy Jones scored a dominant eighth round technical knockout over former world title challenger Bobby Gunn on Friday night at the Chase Center in Wilmington, DE. The fight was fought at a methodical pace from start to finish. Gunn had some sporadic success in making Jones miss and landed a couple of solid punches in the first two rounds, but as the fight progressed it was Jones who picked his shots. As the fight went on Jones found a home for his right hand on Gunn’s face. Toward the end of round seven, Jones connected with a short combination highlighted by a flush left hook to the jaw that had Gunn staggered, but Jones opted to let Gunn finish the round rather than force the action. Although Gunn survived the round, he was prevented from continuing the combat as the bell sounded for eight by his corner who informed Referee Bill Clancy that they wanted the fight stopped. Official time of the stoppage was :07 of round eight. Roy Jones advances to 65-9, wi...

What’s Next For Ivan Baranchyk?

One sport where the search for the next great prospect is never ending is the sport of Boxing. Of course, Boxing fans will always love seeing the top fighters in the sport competing against each other with the intention of determining who is the “Best of the Best.” Perhaps the best part of the sport for Boxing fans however, is to see fighters from the early stages of their careers as they begin to rise through the ranks. One such rising prospect is undefeated Jr. Welterweight Ivan Baranchyk. Baranchyk, a native of Amursk, Russia has gradually been generating buzz since debuting as a professional in June 2014.

One of the appeals of the sport of Boxing and by extension all of combat sports beyond the anticipation of fight between two world-class competitors is what may follow coming out of a fight for the participants involved.
