48. Sergio Mora Junior Middleweight 22-1-2 (6) Last Year’s Ranking: Unranked Status Report: You can laugh at Mora all you want, there’s more to this business than being able to knock a guy’s brain loose. Whether or not you agreed with the decision, Mora demonstrated against Shane Mosley (D 12) that he can stay on even terms with a world class-fighter and on his better nights maybe beat him. “The Latin Snake” also beat Calvin Green (KO 7) in April. Future: Mora is hopeful that his new promoter, Golden Boy Promotions, will keep him active. There’s no good reason a fighter as good as Mora is shouldn’t be working consistently — whether or not he’s a knockout puncher.
31. Mikkel Kessler WBC Super Middleweight Titleholder 43-2 (32) Last Year’s Ranking: 19 Status Report: We’ll forgive Kessler for starting the stampede that left the Super Six tourney a shell of its former ambitious self, and note that his loss to Andre Ward (Tech Dec 11) and his razor-thin win over Carl Froch (W 12) both were exciting bouts that revealed the sorry truth that he gave his last very good performance against Joe Calzaghe. It won’t get better from here. Hence the demotion. Future: At just 31 Kessler can still make money fighting outside the Super Six tournament once his “injury” has healed, and he will, against soft WBC mandatories.
Camacho (79-6-3 38 KO) won his first world championship by fifth-round knockout over former champion Rafael Limon. The belt had previously been declared vacant when champion Bobby Chacon refused to go to Puerto Rico to face Camacho.
There are many different belts that boxers compete for. There is not one single governing body that decides the rules of boxing. Instead there are four governing bodies that all have their own respective belts. They rarely work together because they are competing with each other, which is why it can be difficult for boxers to obtain multiple belts. Each body has numerous divisions that are based on weight classes. Since there are four different organizations, that means there can be four different title holders all at once. The most major governing bodies of boxing are:
Sita then administered an 18 count to Norwood (the ending begins at the 4:08 mark) before inexplicably stopping the fight and awarding Gainer a TKO victory and the title. Norwood retired from boxing after the fight. He returned six years later but never competed at a top level again.
Many people think that boxing just requires strength, speed, and athleticism. It is actually a very strategic sport. During a boxing match, you want to control the pace, locate your angles, and make sure you have good timing for an attack or counter. Those are all very important strategies you want to practice as you get better at boxing.
As an amateur, he was highly regarded by American promoters by 2009 after winning a silver medal at the 2008 Olympics and bronze medals at the 2007 and 2009 World Championships. His career stalled from 2009 to 2019, however, by a combination of his belated release from the Chinese boxing authorities to turn professional, the managerial and legal fiasco of two successive fringe promotional companies, and his visa problems. He could not line up high-profile matches until he signed Matchroom Sport in 2020 at 37 years of age. Zhang considered his fight with Jerry Forrest in 2021 to be the landmark moment of his career until that point.
