Nicolai "The Stone Man" Firtha, or as I like to call him, The Big, Bad Russian
Bear! With a name like Nicolai, he's got to be Russian!
Firtha Returns May 26th!
Nicolai "The Stone Man" Firtha, one of today's most promising heavyweights, takes on undefeated Larry
White on May 26th in Cleveland. If you notice a common theme with Firtha's opponents it is this: they can all fight.
That's the way the Firthas, Nic and his father Joe want it. They realize that you can't get anywhere in boxing beating
a bunch of lame, crippled, and crazy no hopers (Got that George Lineberger! Terminator my ass!) I know you've
heard me say it before, but I'm going to say it again. It doesn't matter if you're 1000 and ZERO, if you can't fight,
you can't fight! But, if you have real talent, and you can fight, go ahead and test yourself with others who are so
inclined. So what if you stumble a time or two along the way, it really shouldn't matter that much. The old timers
all had a couple, two, three, four, five losses by the time they ascended to the top spot. Where does it say a fighter
has to be undefeated to be on TV or to get a title shot? Look no furhter than former light heavyweight champ, and current
top contender, Glen Johnson, now with double digit losses, to realize that a zero at the end of winning record could be a
big fat lie! Apprarently, there is buzz that Nic's next opponent, Larry White, has the stuff to be the heavyweight champ
of the world. Well, we feel that Firtha has the skill, power, and athleticism to do the very same. This should
make for an interesting, exciting, and competitive fight -- just what the Firthas' want. When you build a fighter, you
hope they learn something from each fight along the way. I can assure you that Nic Firtha, by fighting and sparring
with such good competition (Brian Minto, Oliver McCall, Gerald Nobles, Lamar "Big T" Stephens, David Chappell, Robert Davis,
Premezlaw Saleta, Owen Beck, the list goes on and on) has more experience being in the ring with "REAL HEAVYWEIGHTS"
than any other American heavyweight in the game today, hands down! This will definitely help him in his fight with White
in Cleveland on May 26th! By the way, White is 3 and 0 but he's never fought anyone who has even won a fight!
Remeber what I always say, you will never get anywhere in this game beating up on chumps! Firtha can fight, and he's
going to prove it once again when he meets and defeats the undefeated Larry White on May 26th!

Estrada Defeats Wiggins
AP Reports
Former Olympian Jason Estrada scored a unanimous decision over Robert Wiggins in a 10-round heavyweight bout Thursday night.
Estrada improved his record to 6-0 with the victory over Wiggins (20-7-1, 12 knockouts).
Estrada, a 2004 U.S. Olympian and 2003 Pan American Games gold medalist, scored a 100-90 win on all three judges' cards.
Estrada weighed in at 244 pounds for the fight that was part of the undercard of an International Women's Boxing Federation
Lightweight Title fight between Jamie Clampitt and Missy Fiorentino.
Wiggins, a Providence native, fought at 221 pounds.
Money could lure De La Hoya

AM
Oscar De La Hoya's pay-per-view bonanza for his victory over Ricardo Mayorga is generating inevitable talk that
De La Hoya will fight again, but he has yet to say what he will do.
The 875,000 customers mean De La Hoya earned a
reported $20 million for a sixth-round stoppage. The pay-per-view numbers are astonishing.
The assumption is that De
La Hoya, a businessman, will make a business decision. Who wouldn't want to collect another $20 million or more? It's a good
question.
De La Hoya, who said there is a good chance he would retire, probably has considered it since he returned
to his home in Puerto Rico after a brilliant victory for a 154-pound title.
For now, however, the question and its
assumed answer is mostly talk coming from fighters who hope to collect a fraction of the all that De La Hoya generates. Floyd
Mayweather Jr. or Winky Wright or Antonio Margarito could also get rich.
Another possibility, Ricky Hatton, looked
as if he might be too small Saturday night in a difficult decision over Luis Collazo in his first fight at 147 pounds. Then
again, undersized might be the perfect fit for De La Hoya in a farewell fight.
Tommy Morrison back
to old ways...wife files for divorce
Hearne Christopher Jr.,
kansascity.com
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Mrs. Tommy Morrison.
You may know her better as Dawn Two,
the second of two attractive women named Dawn who found themselves simultaneously married to the former KC boxer in the mid
1990s. Through the years she has maintained a low public profile. Until Tommy’s reference last week in this column to not
particularly wanting to ever see her again.
“I was upset with that comment,” Dawn says. “And I know there’s no making
it right, now.”
Let’s start with Tommy’s good side: “He was a good dad for about four years,” she says. “Then he went
back to his old self.”
Morrison’s “old self” is hardly a mystery. A wayfaring life of unprotected sex led to his being
diagnosed HIV positive and banned from boxing in 1996. That was followed by sundry arrests for drug and weapons violations
and 14 months in the slammer between December ’99 and February 2001.
Dawn says she has 12 years of romance invested
in the Duke. They met July 4, 1994, and were married in 1996 in Mexico. It was annulled in 1997 after she learned about Dawn
One.
“It was a bad situation,” Dawn Two says. “I mean, he was married to her, too. Then he divorced her in September
of 2000, and I remarried him in September 2001.”
That marriage went down after Morrison’s prison stint.
“I waited
about six months to make sure he really had changed and was living right,” Dawn says. “When we first moved to Sparta, Tenn.,
all our friends were married and Christians.”
The Morrisons were raising two children, Dawn’s son Justin, now 7, and
Dawn and Tommy’s son Tristin, now 2. Everything was rosy in the Bible Belt for about two years, Dawn says. “Then he started
hanging out with the town trash. And people really rallied around me here — they stepped up and helped me with the boys.”
If
Dawn had it all to do again?
“Um, some people have asked me that,” she muses. “And out of anger, I feel like I’ve wasted
12 years on this man. But if I had it to do over, I would do it again — and I’d change a few things. I’d do it all over again
if I knew I was going to get those three years of him being the best Tommy he could be, and he was. Those three years made
the other nine years worth it. Because he was a wonderful, hands-on father. Every pregnant woman should have him for (her
baby’s) father — he just babied me. He was wonderful in the delivery room.”
As for the couple’s pending split, “he
says it’s my fault for filing for divorce,” Dawn says. “But when he stays with another woman for 28 days straight …”
Her
plan: “Raising my two little boys not to be anything like their father. My focus always has been and always will be on my
two boys. I want to raise them to be good, Christian boys who never treat their wives the way I’ve been treated.”
Had
not Morrison’s HIV diagnosis/fiasco put pressure on his relationship, it might have stood the test of time, says Randy D.
Lang, Morrison’s attorney in Arizona.
Julio Diaz Wins IBF Interim Lightweight Title
AP Reports
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. -- Mexico's Julio Diaz won the IBF interim lightweight title with a unanimous decision over Ricky Quiles
Thursday night.
Diaz was in control throughout the bout at the Hard Rock Live Arena. He frustrated Quiles with repeated rights to the head.
Quiles' strategy of keeping his distance could not offset the busier Diaz. Quiles landed sporadic left leads but with minimal
follow up punches.
Diaz (33-3) also scored with left hooks to the head and late in the fight he held off Quiles' attempt at a comeback with
combinations to the body.
The judges scored it 120-108, 119-109 and 118-110.
There were no knockdowns.
"I'm very excited, I worked hard for this victory," Diaz said. "I like to be the fighter who fights with pain."
For Diaz, the victory began a second stint as IBF lightweight champion. He briefly held the title in 2004 before losing
it to Jose Luis Castillo.
The IBF created an interim champion because current titleholder, Jesus Chavez, is sidelined because of an injury.
Quiles weighed the lightweight limit of 135 pounds, while Diaz weighed 134 pounds.
Results and Predictions
Julio "The Kidd" Diaz defeated Ricky Quiles via 12 round unanimous decision. Diaz is as smooth
as they come, he's slick, he's quick, he can box, and he's got good power. Very, very under rated boxer. He dominated
the southpaw Quiles. One of the official scorecards gave Diaz every round. Don't forget, Quiles holds a victory
over the super tough Edner Cherry. Prediction Correct.
Mighty MO vs. Lamar "Big T" Stephens. What I said prior to the fight:
Also on the show is K-1 kick boxer, making his professional boxing debut, Mighty Mo Siliga. Mighty Mo picked the
wrong guy to debut against. He's fighting Lamar "Big T" Stephens from Chicago. Stephens fought a boxer we
are all very familiar with, Nicolai "The Stone Man" Firtha, one of the brightest young heavyweights in the sport today.
Big T fought Firtha not once, but twice, resulting in a victory and a draw for Stephens. That's right, he drew with
Firtha their first fight, then he won a decision in their second fight. Our school of thought is that if Stephens has
the skill level to hang in there with an accomplished boxer like Nic Firtha, surely he can defeat a kickboxer making his professional
boxing debut! We're going with Stephens by TKO3, which is a betting upset by the way!
Prediction Correct! I just knew there was no way a kickboxer, even an accomplished one like Mighty
Mo, could turn pro and win a 6 round fight (not a 4 round fight, which is customary for a pro boxer's first 5 fights or so)
over a legitimate professional boxer like Lamar "Big T" Stephens. They spoke so highly of Mighty Mo's power prior to
the fight. It may be decent but I'm sure he didn't hit Big T like The Stone Man, Nicolai Firtha did. Kickboxers
do just that when they fight, they kick. They are not used to sitting down on their punches and putting full leverage
into them like a professional boxer. As a result, they throw a lot of arm punches. Kickboxers are also pretty
easy to hit because they offer very little head movement. It just makes sense that if you are fighting someone,
and they can kick you, you're going to keep a little more distance from that opponent than you would if they couldn't kick
you. As a result, a kickboxer's defensive skills aren't as highly developed as a boxer's because they simply don't have
to be. They usually use distance as their defense in a kickboxing match. Truth be told, if Stephens turned up
the heat earlier, and didn't hold as much, he could have gotten Mighty Mo out of there pretty early. Every time
Mo threw a jab, he did the old bow and arrow with his right hand. He also turned his head slightly to the right
side. If I were in Stephens corner, I would have told him slip the jab to the outside (to Stephen's right) and
drop a big right hand over it with full force. Mo was a sucker for it, but Stephens never really did it and I'm
not sure why. Anyway, the boxer beat the kickboxer in a lopsided decision and that's the way it should be in a boxing
match!
Felix Cora vs. Vadim Tokarev. I didn't make a prediction because I wasn't familiar with Tokarev. Our good
friend, FightNews.com and BoxingAlongTheBeltway's writer extraordinaire Gary "Digital" Williams told me prior to the fight
that Tokarev can fight and that this matchup would produce dramatic results. Boy was he ever right! The fight
was so exciting that my 79 year old mother, who lives with my wife and I, was saying "Now that's a fight!" Result, Tokarev
(yet another Russian Bad Ass) TKO4 over the very game, and very gifted, Felix Cora, Jr. If you didn't see it, boy did
you miss out! And, the Pay Per View was only $19.95, not bad at all! Make sure you check out Digital's website
www.boxingalongthebeltway.blogspot.com He definitely is the man in the Beltway Boxing Scene!
Prediction: Yusaf Mack vs. Alejandro Berrio 5/19 Miami Friday Night Fights
I've seen Yusaf Mack a few times and he seems to be a solid pro boxer. Nothing spectacular, nothing flashy, but
he has good skills and does everything well. I expect him to win an easy decision over Berrio.
The undercard for tonight's show features Thomas Davis, the fellow who stopped Kendall Holt in the first round a few
years back, against Richard Gutierrez, and undefeated Colombian middleweight. I'm going with Davis in this one.
He's fought by far the better opposition and that should help him win this fight.
I am 50 and 26 on my picks.
Feared boxer seeks
big payday
Norm Frauenheim , Arizona Republic
He's on
everybody's list of candidates. Oscar De La Hoya mentions him. So does Floyd Mayweather Jr. They acknowledge him in a crowd.
Shake his hand. Praise him. But they won't fight him.
Antonio Margarito finds himself in a lonely corner of boxing
limbo that has trapped and tested other good fighters. Middleweight champion Winky Wright occupied it before him.
Margarito
has a title and fans, but not the kind of opponent who gives him a chance at the acclaim and money at the top of the sport's
income scale.
"It's definitely upsetting," said Margarito, the World Boxing Organization's welterweight champion, who
is in Phoenix to help promoter Steve Ayala stage his third card tonight at Celebrity Theatre.
But it's not new.
Margarito
(33-4, 24 knockouts) has been battling for a spot in line for a couple of years, at least since a second-round stoppage of
Hercules Kyvelos at Dodge Theatre in January 2004.
Until then, he was just another anonymous champ in the sea of acronyms.
Since then, an unscientific poll in Spanish-speaking media has pegged him as one of Mexico's best fighters. In terms of box-office
appeal, that makes him impossible to ignore.
The fans' respect for him also could explain why some of the biggest names
won't fight him. He's a rough, tough battler who figures to be there against a De La Hoya or a Mayweather throughout 12 bruising
rounds.
"That is the reason they won't fight him," said his manager, Sergio Diaz, who translated Margarito's Spanish
for the English-speaking media.
Mayweather turned down a reported $8 million to fight Margarito, who is represented
by Top Rank. Mayweather, who paid Bob Arum $750,000 to buy his way out of a Top Rank contract, is hoping for even bigger money
against De La Hoya.
But De La Hoya's trainer is Mayweather's father, and Floyd Mayweather Sr. says he won't let that
fight happen. But Margarito is still there.
"I always will be," said Margarito, who is scheduled for a bout on Aug.
12, possibly against Sharmba Mitchell.
In fact, Mayweather told him that it would happen one day when they met after
De La Hoya's victory over Ricardo Mayorga on May 6.
"I expected a different reaction from him," Margarito said. "He
saw me, recognized me, told me he respected me and said we would meet in the future.
"But I can't wait around for him.
I have to stay busy. I have to continue fighting and I have to be patient.
"I don't have any choice."
Margarito
only can hope that in time, nobody else does either.

Mayorga Got DK'ed! Told You!
In Bernard Fenandez's latest column in CBS Sportsline, Oscar De La Hoya is quoted in regards
to to his feelings about when Ricardo Mayorga start begging Oscar at the pre-fight conference for more money than 2 Million
he was making to fight Oscar. Oscar feeling's were sympathetic to Mayorga, but angry at Mayorga's Promoter, Don King.
""I
was angry -– at King," De La Hoya said. "For a fighter not to know what he's making ... what does that tell you?
"(Mayorga)
was about to cry. I felt bad, but I told him it's not my problem. Deal with your promoter."

Pay Per View Tonight! Julio Diaz vs. Ricky Quiles, only $19.95!
9PM ET from Hollywood, Florida: Julio "The Kidd" Diaz vs. Ricky Quiles for the vacant IBF lightweight title. Favorite
and selection Diaz. Diaz is one of the most under rated and slickest boxers in the game today. Watch a tape
of how he systematically took apart the bigger, stronger Courtney Burton a year of so ago. It was an absolute clinic!
He should have no trouble with the southpaw Quiles. He may even stop him.
Also on the show is K-1 kick boxer, making his professional boxing debut, Mighty Mo Siliga. Mighty Mo picked the
wrong guy to debut against. He's fighting Lamar "Big T" Stephens from Chicago. Stephens fought a boxer we
are all very familiar with, Nicolai "The Stone Man" Firtha, one of the brightest young heavyweights in the sport today.
Big T fought Firtha not once, but twice, resulting in a victory and a draw for Stephens. That's right, he drew with
Firtha their first fight, then he won a decision in their second fight. Our school of thought is that if Stephens has
the skill level to hang in there with an accomplished boxer like Nic Firtha, surely he can defeat a kickboxer making his professional
boxing debut! We're going with Stephens by TKO3, which is a betting upset by the way!
Also on the show is Felix Cora, Jr. who will be taking on Vadim Tokarev. Cora was very impressive in his last victory,
a one sided defeat of noted puncher, Darnell "The Ding A Ling Man" Wilson. Tokarev is unknown, at least to me, so I'm
not making a prediction in this fight.
I am 48-26 on my picks.
By the way, Verizon incorrectly cut off my account for a few days. It really amazes me that there are so many idiots
in the world today, with many of them working at Verizon! Good luck and enjoy the fights!

Juarez is ready for Barrera
| Robert Morales, Staff writer |
|
| Marco Antonio Barrera. That name alone has been enough to scare
prizefighters toiling from 122 to 130 pounds the past several years.
"Not Rocky Juarez. He is the young fellow from Houston who represented the U.S. in the 2000"Olympics,
losing a controversial decision in the gold-medal bout at 125"pounds. He has been on the big stage before, so challenging
Barrera for his World Boxing Council super featherweight championship Saturday at Staples Center puts no fear into the heart
of this Texan.
"I have never doubted my talent, my potential and my heart, stepping into the ring against any fighter,"
Juarez said.
Barrera is not just any fighter.
He is one of the greatest fighters ever from Mexico. And even though Juarez has a solid record of 25-1
with 18"knockouts, he has not faced anyone near the caliber of Barrera, who is 61-4 with
42 knockouts and has won world championships in three"weight classes.
Juarez also will be moving up to the 130-pound super featherweight division. He has fought a few fights
at 127-129 pounds, but for the most part, he mostly has competed in the 126-pound featherweight division. Juarez is ranked
No. 5 by the WBC in the featherweight division.
Barrera has also moved up in weight a couple of times during his career. But that's Barrera, a living
legend who, at 32, still has plenty left.
Juarez laughs at the notion he is biting off more than he can chew.
"Since I was 17 going on 18, I have been at (featherweight)," said Juarez, 26, who turned pro three
months shy of his 21st birthday. "So, moving up to 130 pounds, I feel like I'm going to be more comfortable."
It's only a four-pound jump from featherweight to super featherweight, and Juarez said he has put the
weight on well.
"We definitely are doing something we didn't do in any of my other fights, and that was get a strength
and conditioning coach," Juarez said. "We've been doing a lot of swimming, doing different things that we feel are going to
benefit me for this fight."
Juarez said he also will benefit from the knowledge that it doesn't get any bigger than fighting Barrera.
That's why, he said, he is having the best camp of his professional career.
"Physically and mentally, the way we are preparing for this fight, I feel good. ... I got this good
feeling in me," Juarez said. "There are no butterflies. There is that feeling before I go to bed every once in a while, you
know, who I'm fighting, but that's the excitement. That's the motivation that every day I wake up to, to go to the gym and
train harder."
(Juarez almost didn't get here)
Juarez is probably fortunate to be in a high-profile fight like this, one that will be televised by
HBO.
Flashback to last Aug. 20. Juarez was supposed to be fighting champion Injin Chi for his WBC featherweight
title, but Chi had suffered an injury and was forced to pull out. Juarez instead fought Humberto Soto for the interim championship
with the winner getting a shot at Chi once Chi recovered.
Unable to get himself in the right frame of mind because of the disappointment of the situation, Juarez
lost a close unanimous decision to a fighter he was expected to beat. Not that Soto was a slouch.
Undaunted, Juarez came back to stop veteran Reynaldo Hurtado in the third round and Backlin Medrano,
a club fighter, in the fourth round.
Juarez then lucked out when Jesus Chavez got injured and had to pull out of his fight with Barrera,
who was going to challenge Chavez for his lightweight belt.
As down as Juarez was mentally prior to his fight with Soto, he said he is that up for Saturday's fight
against Barrera.
"This is a totally difference atmosphere," he said. "I was supposed to be fighting for the WBC title
that night when I fought Soto. Now, going into this fight, there is that mental preparation that, you go into this fight and
say, This is for all the marbles.'
"As far as that Soto fight, you kind of knew that some of that spark ... you know, having to step back
and having to fight this guy and having to beat him and then you get another shot at the title. It was sort of a mental letdown."
Juarez figures to have plenty of problems Saturday, but suffering a mental letdown won't be one of
them.
Saturday's undercard: Jorge Barrios of Argentina will defend his World Boxing Organization junior lightweight
(130 pounds) belt against Janos Nagy of Hungary in one of two main undercard bouts Saturday. Chikashi Inada of Japan will
fight Jose Santa Cruz of Los"Angeles for the WBC interim lightweight championship.
Hatton-Collazo: Ricky Hatton was not bad Saturday, but he didn't exactly make those entities who chose
him as 2005 Fighter of the Year look like geniuses, either.
Hatton moved up in weight and won the World Boxing Association welterweight championship with a narrow
decision over Luis Collazo.
Whereas Hatton overpowered the great Kostya Tszyu in June to win via 11th-round technical knockout,
he did not appear to be such a brute against Collazo.
In other words, Perhaps Hatton would be better served moving back down to junior welterweight.
Collazo entered the fight with only 12 knockouts in 27"fights, yet Hatton's face was very bruised after
12"rounds.
The only reason Hatton would stay at welterweight (147 pounds) is because that is where Floyd Mayweather
Jr. and Antonio Margarito, two of the other champions, reside.
There has also been talk of a Hatton-De La Hoya fight, which would probably be at a catch-weight of
150 pounds.
Yes, this is where the money is. But at what price fame? Or, the attempt at fame, because Hatton isn't
big enough to beat any of the three. |

Results
5/12/06 Tampa, FL
Edner Cherry vs. Monty Meza-Clay
Favorite and selection Cherry. Clay is a short opponent, 5'4" and has fought limited competition.
Prediction CORRECT. Post fight analysis. In a frenetically paced fight, Cherry finally stopped the charging, energizer
bunny style of Meza-Clay. The judges may have had Cherry winning almost every round, and I agree, but it wasn't an easy
fight for Cherry by any means.
May 13th Boston
Ricky Hatton vs. Luis Collazzo, Favorite Hatton, Selection Hatton. Prediction Correct. Hatton
had a lot of trouble with the southpaw style of Collazzo. Hatton was also in a little trouble in the 12th round.
Perhaps 147 may be the wrong weight for the Hitman.
I am now 48-26 on my predictions.
