Junior Middleweight: 2014, Jan 27- Feb 2

Posted in Junior Middleweight, Rankings with tags Carlos Molina, Cornelius Bundrage, Dennis Laurente, Erislandy Lara, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Gabriel Rosado, Jermell Charlo, Saul Alvarez on May 14, 2014 by danboxing

#9 Cornelius Bundrage was, on Friday, the victim of very unfortunate boxing politics. First of all, he made just around $6,000 for the fight- minus managerial and other costs, I assume- meaning they likely didn’t pay him minimum wage if his training time is factored in. Not only that, but the fight was not even carried on the rather mediocre Golden Boy TV broadcast of the card, on which it would have been far and away the most important fight. With that being the case, I was unable to find any video of the fight whatsoever. Luckily for me, it appears there wasn’t much of a controversy about the outcome, as the scores were unanimously 118-110.

The following night in the nation’s capital, undefeated #18 Jermell Charlo got the benefit of some ridiculous judging to the extent that his opponent- the very capable Gabe Rosado- got only one round total on the two widest cards (those of Steve Rados and Wayne Smith, who both need to give serious consideration to retiring, in shame, from judging fights). The fight, as it actually happened, could have been a draw or a narrow win for Rosado, but I do believe the right man won, as I had it 96-94 for Charlo myself. The undefeated Charlo was very effective in the first half of the fight, boxing effectively and countering Rosado’s aggression with stinging counters. The valiant Rosado came back strong in the late rounds, but for me it was too little, too late.

Bundrage’s win, while nice, does nothing for him in the rankings. Hernandez wasn’t a bad opponent, but his resume was too mixed and his best win over a borderline top 50 opponent was too long ago (over 2 years) to make him clearly a top 50 fighter. As for Charlo, his impressive win earns him a promotion from #18 to #16. Charlo’s return to 154 prompts his return to the rankings, as he checks in at a fairly diminished rank of #17. This forces down Willie Nelson from #16 to #18, Brian Rose from #17 to #19, and Guido Pitto from #19 to #20. Kell Brook exits after 4 weeks in.

Dan’s Top 20 (Weeks in Current Position-Weeks in Top 10 if applicable-Weeks in Top 20)

Champ: None

1) Carlos Molina (52-134-149)

Last Fight: 9/14/2013- W (SD12) vs. #5 Ishe Smith

Next Fight: 3/8/2014- vs. Jermall Charlo (UNR)

Molina will put his belt on the line against the lower-ranked Charlo brother on the Canelo-Angulo undercard.

2) Erislandy Lara (8-134-156)

Last Fight: 12/7/2013- UD12 #4 Austin Trout

Next Fight: Unknown

Lara wants Canelo next, but has reportedly been ruled out by the Mexican superstar. In the meantime, Ishe Smith is trying to fight him.

3) Floyd Mayweather, Jr. (8-20-20)

Last Fight: 9/14/2013- W* (MD12) vs. #2 Saul Alvarez

Next Fight: Unknown

Mayweather intends to fight twice in 2014: on May 3 and September 13, if all goes to plan. Amir Khan is the rumored opponent for May 3. Bradley is getting a bit of buzz lately, too, as is Bernard Hopkins, at middleweight- though Floyd Sr. has said the latter will never happen. The new kid on the block is Maidana, who it has been said has moved to the front of the line after his win over Broner.

4) Saul Alvarez (8-152-167)

Last Fight: 9/14/2013- L* (MD12) vs. WW Champion Floyd Mayweather

Next Fight: 3/8/2014- vs. #10 Alfredo Angulo

Canelo says he will fight Angulo on March 8.

5) Austin Trout (8-87-156)

Last Fight: 12/7/2013- L (UD12) vs. #5 Erislandy Lara

Next Fight: Unknown

Trout might be getting to that unfortunate position of having a record underwhelming enough to be low-reward, while still being easily skilled enough to be high-risk. He says essentially that he wants worthwhile fights in 2014, rather than a soft diet for rebuilding purposes.

6) Ishe Smith (20-49-49)

Last Fight: 9/14/2013- L (SD12) vs. #1 Carlos Molina

Next Fight: Unknown

Smith sounds like he’s open to a variety of options for his next fight. Anything from a Molina rematch, to Trout, to Angulo or Lara. And even more various than that- he says he wants one UFC fight.

7) Anthony Mundine (9-9-9)

Last Fight: 11/27/2013- vs. #4 WW Shane Mosley

Next Fight: 1/29/2014- vs. Gunnar Jackson (UNR) (at MW)

Mundine has a new, very mediocre opponent after Carson Jones and then Billy Lyell both fell through. This fight will be at 160.

8) Miguel Cotto (9-191-191)

Last Fight: 10/5/2013- TKO3 #11 Delvin Rodriguez

Next Fight: 6/7/2014- vs. MW Champ Sergio Martinez (at MW)

Cotto is said to be all but signed for a June 7 superfight with Sergio.

9) Cornelius Bundrage (9-182-182)

Last Fight: 1/24/2014- UD12 Joey Hernandez (UNR)

Next Fight: Unknown

Bundrage has been approved to fight Joey Hernandez in an IBF eliminator. Golden Boy won the purse bid at a paltry $11,000, meaning Bundrage will bank just $6,600. The fight is set for Indio, California on January 24, but incredibly is not on the card’s telecast.

10) Alfredo Angulo (9-227-227)

Last Fight: 6/8/2013- L (TKO10) vs. #4 Erislandy Lara

Next Fight: 3/8/2014- vs. #4 Saul Alvarez

Angulo gets a big shot against Canelo on a March 8 PPV.

11) Sergey Rabchenko (9-85)

Last Fight: 11/16/2013- UD12 Bradley Pryce (UNR)

Next Fight: Unknown

Rabchenko is in line for an alphabet eliminator at any time. The EBU, meanwhile, has set a date of January 21 for purse bids for his mandatory European title defense against Emanuele Della Rosa.

12) Javier Maciel (9-14)

Last Fight: 10/26/2013- Robbery L (SD12) vs. #14 Brian Rose

Next Fight: Unknown

Maciel’s scheduled January 17 fight was abruptly cancelled- with no real explanation- on about 2 days’ notice.

13) Demetrius Andrade (9-12)

Last Fight: 11/9/2013- W* (SD12) vs. #13 Vanes Martirosyan

Next Fight: Unknown

Andrade wants to unify against Carlos Molina, but negotiations are underway for a Brian Rose fight, with purse bids set for this week.

14) Delvin Rodriguez (9-133)

Last Fight: 10/5/2013- L (TKO3) vs. #7 Miguel Cotto

Next Fight: Unknown

Rodriguez appears to be solid against borderline top-10 types (see Wolak), but completely out of his depth at just a tad higher level.

15) Vanes Martirosyan (9-139)

Last Fight: 11/9/2013- L* (SD12) vs. Demetrius Andrade (UNR)

Next Fight: Unknown

Vanes recently challenged Austin Trout, which seems like a good but unlikely matchup considering their ties to rival promoters.

16) Jermell Charlo (1-34)

Last Fight: 1/25/2014- UD10 Gabriel Rosado (UNR)

Next Fight: Unknown

Charlo let Rosado back into the fight late, but overall was very impressive against a battle-tested opponent.

17) Gabriel Rosado (1-1)

Last Fight: 1/25/2013- L (UD10) vs. #18 Jermell Charlo

Next Fight: Unknown

Atrocious judges and a fragile eyelid have helped put Rosado’s career more or less in tatters.

18) Willie Nelson (1-48)

Last Fight: 6/29/2013- UD10 Luciano Cuello (UNR)

Next Fight: Unknown

Nelson’s promoter tells me that he’s recovered from the elbow injury that nixed his fight with Matthew Macklin, and that he might be in line for an alphabet title against Sergey Rabchenko if Mayweather chooses to vacate.

19) Brian Rose (1-45)

Last Fight: 10/26/2013- Robbery W (Draw at best) vs. Javier Maciel (UNR)

Next Fight: Unknown

See Andrade’s notes, above.

20) Guido Pitto (1-7)

Last Fight: 10/26/2013- L* (UD12) vs. #20 Jack Culcay

Next Fight: Unknown

The Week Ahead:

Saturday

Dennis Laurente vs. Singdet Nonpitayakom; Paranaque City, Philippines; TV Unknown

Laurente is a top-50 gatekeeper-type from the Philippines. His opponent has a losing record and is a low-level journeyman, to be charitable. This fight is such a poor match-up that I’m embarrassed to even be mentioning it.

Brook will be back on March 15 in what is being tabbed as a stay-busy fight, and is interested in the winner of a proposed fight between Keith Thurman and Shawn Porter, too.

The Week Ahead:

Friday

#9 Cornelius Bundrage vs. Joey Hernandez; Indio, California; Off TV

In a pathetic decision by Golden Boy and/or FS1, they’re leaving the most important fight of the Indio card off the TV broadcast. Apparently it wasn’t enough that the two fighters were only going to make $11,000 between them, so the powers that be had to make sure that both quality fighters got no exposure either. Hopefully some sort of video will pop up afterward, or else the fight will forever be just a line on boxrec. Bundrage obviously has to be the favorite, but he looked so bad against Smith that Hernandez has to be considered a very live dog. He’s a one-loss Miami prospect who’s been tested at the gatekeeper level.

Saturday

#18 Jermell Charlo vs. Gabriel Rosado; Washington, D.C.; Showtime (US)

This is a heck of a test for the unbeaten Charlo. Rosado was a bona fide top-10 contender at 154 when various promoters started using him, about a year ago, to test their undefeated fighters at 160. He’s been put in with J’Leon Love, Gennady Golovkin, and Peter Quillin, and the only one that outfought him was Golovkin. Golden Boy has every reason to be confident in Charlo’s ability, but I hope they’ve given serious thought to this one. If they’re putting him in with Rosado, they must feel that he’s potentially about one fight away from Championship-level competition. Think about it. Even if Charlo is able to perform as well as #6 Peter Quillin did against Rosado, that’s a 50/50 fight at best. Quillin was looking like he was going to lose that fight until Rosado’s face fell apart. If Charlo passes this test, he’s gone beyond a mere prospect and proven himself a Championship-level contender.

Junior Middleweight: 2013, Sep 2-8

Posted in Junior Middleweight, Rankings with tags Austin Trout, Carlos Molina, Cornelius Bundrage, Erislandy Lara, Ishe Smith, Javier Maciel, Miguel Cotto, Saul Alvarez on September 9, 2013 by danboxing

I’ve got nothing to talk about from last week.

Dan’s Top 20 (Weeks in Current Position-Weeks in Top 10 if applicable-Weeks in Top 20)

Champ: None

1) Carlos Molina (31-113-128)

Last Fight: 2/1/2013- UD12 #11 Cory Spinks

Next Fight: 9/14/2013- vs. #5 Ishe Smith

September 14 looks like junior middleweight D-Day. #1 vs. #5 (as of this writing), and it’s probably not even the most important fight in the division on that card.

2) Saul Alvarez (31-131-146)

Last Fight: 4/20/2013- W* (UD12) vs. #3 Austin Trout

Next Fight: 9/14/2013- vs. WW Champ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

Floyd-Canelo on September 14 appeared to be made way back in February, but then appeared to be a distant memory for months. Now it’s back on, for the exact same date. The only difference is that Floyd got dropped for inactivity because the fight wasn’t signed when his 1-year anniversary at 154 came around. There will be a 152-pound catchweight.

3) Austin Trout (28-66-135)

Last Fight: 4/20/2013- L* (UD12) vs. #2 Saul Alvarez

Next Fight: Unknown

Trout wants a rematch of his very dubious loss to Alvarez. He certainly deserves it. He’ll have to wait until 2014 at the earliest, though, as Canelo is fighting Mayweather. Rumors of Lara-Trout on the Mayweather-Canelo undercard appear to be false according to Leonard Ellerbe.

4) Erislandy Lara (28-113-135)

Last Fight: 6/8/2013- TKO10 #8 Alfredo Angulo

Next Fight: Unknown

See Trout’s notes, above.

5) Ishe Smith (28-28-28)

Last Fight: 2/23/2013- W (MD12) vs. #3 Cornelius Bundrage

Next Fight: 9/14/2013- vs. #1 Carlos Molina

See Molina’s notes, above.

6) Miguel Cotto (18-170-170)

Last Fight: 12/1/2012- L (UD12) vs. #8 Austin Trout

Next Fight: 10/5/2013- vs. #11 Delvin Rodriguez

After a proposed fight with Bundrage was scrapped by the networks, and a brief flirtation with Carlos Molina, Cotto will now be fighting Delvin Rodriguez on HBO on October 5.

7) Cornelius Bundrage (18-161-161)

Last Fight: 2/23/2013- L (MD12) vs. Ishe Smith (UNR)

Next Fight: Unknown

8) Alfredo Angulo (18-206-206)

Last Fight: 6/8/2013- L (TKO10) vs. #4 Erislandy Lara

Next Fight: Unknown

Angulo has shared the good news that there are no broken bones in his face after the devastating Lara combination that forced him to submit. On one hand, it demystifies Angulo’s warrior image, but it does give him a better outlook for his career going forward, as well.

9) Gabriel Rosado (18-24-135)

Last Fight: 5/4/2013- NC vs. J’Leon Love (UNR) (at MW)

Next Fight: Unknown

With his already-questionable loss to Love overturned due to a positive drug test, Rosado now wants Cotto, Lara, or Trout. Love wants a rematch after his suspension is over. While Cotto is otherwise occupied, the last three seem to be realistic possibilities.

10) Sergey Rabchenko (18-18-64)

Last Fight: 7/16/2013- TKO3 Gari Abajian (UNR)

Next Fight: Unknown

After two other mandatories failed to answer the bell for a shot at Rabchenko’s European title, Cedric Vitu is now the guy. No date yet.

11) Delvin Rodriguez (18-112)

Last Fight: 5/24/2013- TKO8 Freddy Hernandez (UNR)

Next Fight: 10/5/2013- vs. #6 Miguel Cotto

See Cotto’s notes, above.

12) Lukas Konecny (18-108)

Last Fight: 7/13/2013- UD12 Moez Fhima (UNR) (at MW)

Next Fight: Unknown

Konecny took care of business against Fhima at 160. We’ll have to see whether he stays at that weight or not. My guess would be yes, since he’s fighting for minor titles up there at this point.

13) Keith Thurman (18-41)

Last Fight: 7/27/2013- KO10 Diego Chaves (UNR) (at WW)

Next Fight: Unknown

Thurman and Guerrero appeared destined to fight in November, but according to Golden Boy- which promotes both fighters- Guerrero turned it down.

14) Vanes Martirosyan (18-118)

Last Fight: 6/15/2013- TKO2 Ryan Davis (UNR) (at MW)

Next Fight: 11/16/2013- vs. Demetrius Andrade (UNR)

Martirosyan-Andrade has been re-set for November 16 in Corpus Christi, Texas. HBO will televise, as originally planned.

15) Yuri Foreman (18-32)

Last Fight: 7/24/2013- UD8 Jamaal Davis (UNR)

Next Fight: Unknown

Foreman is very slowly stepping up his level of opposition as his comeback gradually picks up steam.

16) Willie Nelson (14-27)

Last Fight: 6/29/2013- UD10 Luciano Cuello (UNR)

Next Fight: 9/28/2013- vs. Dante Moore (UNR)

When it comes to Nelson’s September 28 opponent, a Cleveland hometown and one-loss record is about all they have in common. Moore has lost to and drawn with absolute scrubs, and shouldn’t be much of a challenge for Nelson despite a decent-looking 8-1 record.

17) Brian Rose (14-24)

Last Fight: 6/29/2013- W (PTS10) vs. Alexey Ribchev (UNR) (at MW)

Next Fight: 10/26/2013- vs. Unknown Opponent

Rose will be back on the Brook-Senchenko undercard in Sheffield, likely against Argentina’s Javier Maciel.

18) Jermell Charlo (13-13)

Last Fight: 6/8/2013- UD12 Demetrius Hopkins (UNR)

Next Fight: Unknown

Charlo didn’t exactly build his fan base with the Hopkins snoozer, but he satisfied the “win today, look good tomorrow” equation, and earned a ranking for his trouble.

19) Guido Pitto (13-19)

Last Fight: 4/27/2013- W* (SD12) vs. Jack Culcay (UNR)

Next Fight: 9/14/2013- vs. Jack Culcay (UNR)

A Culcay-Pitto rematch is on tap for September 14, as if I needed more fights to write about in this division for that night.

20) Kell Brook (8-8)

Last Fight: 7/13/2013- TKO8 Carson Jones (UNR)

Next Fight: 10/26/2013- vs. Vyacheslav Senchenko (UNR) (at WW?)

Brook gets Senchenko in late October in Sheffield. Since it’s a non-title fight, there’s always the chance it could creep up over 147 and thus affect his ranking here.

The Week Ahead: Two-loss Argentine prospect Javier Maciel takes on journeyman Alejandro Falliga in a fight that would have carried a bit more cache a couple years ago when Falliga was close to the top 20. That is Saturday in Buenos Aires.

Junior Middleweight: 2013, Aug 26- Sep 1

Next Fight: 11/16/2013- vs. Demetrius Andrade (UNR)

Foreman is very slowly stepping up his level of opposition as his comeback gradually picks up steam.

Last Fight: 7/13/2013- TKO8 Carson Jones (UNR)

Next Fight: 10/26/2013- vs. Vyacheslav Senchenko (UNR) (at WW?)

Brook gets Senchenko in late October in Sheffield. Since it’s a non-title fight, there’s always the chance it could creep up over 147 and thus affect his ranking here.

The Week Ahead: No action to talk about this week.

Junior Middleweight: 2013, Feb 25- Mar 3

Posted in Junior Middleweight, Rankings with tags Carlos Molina, Charlie Ota, Cornelius Bundrage, Ishe Smith, Jorge Melendez, Michael Medina, Michel Soro, Willie Nelson on June 17, 2013 by danboxing

Detroit played host to a huge upset on Saturday, as veteran gatekeeper Ishe Smith got the biggest win of his career by dominantly outboxing #3 Cornelius Bundrage. Smith swept rounds 3-7 and 9-12 on my card. Bundrage was never graceful, but this time he looked as lackadaisical as he was musclebound. He even spent a part of the fight running, which just plain doesn’t make sense. Frankly, he looked like a mediocre clubfighter.

Charlie Ota was supposed to fight on Thursday in New York, but the fight was canceled late for an unknown reason.

Smith rockets all the way up to debut at #5. He’s technically got a better win than Trout and Lara do, but Smith’s only win in the last 5 years that makes any difference here was against a then only somewhat proven Pawel Wolak over 4 years ago, while both Lara and Trout have several solid fringe contenders in a reasonable time frame to add to their respective wins over #6 contenders. Bundrage falls to #9, just ahead of Alfredo Angulo. Angulo fell from his high perch with a similarly unexpected loss, and the overall resumes are similar, as well. Bundrage wins out because Angulo’s loss to Kirkland is obviously much older, and Angulo hasn’t been able to reverse things with a significant win since.

Overall, Trout and Lara move up one. Everyone ranked #6-8 stay put, while everyone #9-17 and below last week falls back to accommodate Sugar Shay. The #19 spot is occupied by Frenchman Michel Soro, whose victory over Kris Carslaw somehow escaped my notice. He should have been ranked for the six weeks prior to this, and without editing previous entries, I’m going to pretend he was. This forces Brian Rose and Anthony Mundine out. Likewise, Gabe Rosado drops out of the top 10 after 39 consecutive weeks in.

Junior Middleweight: 2013, Feb 18-24

Posted in Junior Middleweight, Rankings with tags Carlos Molina, Charles Whittaker, Charlie Ota, Cornelius Bundrage, Delvin Rodriguez, Demetrius Hopkins, Ishe Smith, Saul Alvarez on June 16, 2013 by danboxing

At the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut on Friday (in the Friday Night Fights main event), #12 Delvin Rodriguez took a round to get going against 34 year-old Oklahoma Comanche prospect George Tahdooahnippah, but got going in a big way once he did. He beat his opponent from pillar to post in the 2nd, and continued to pound the gutsy but outclassed Tahdooahnippah until the fight was mercifully stopped in the 6th. This fight does not help Rodriguez at all in the rankings, for two reasons. First, he came in at 156.5 lbs, meaning he doesn’t even get partial credit for staying active at 154, as he would if he’d stayed within two pounds. Secondly, Tahdooahnippah was totally unproven.

The following night, there was a fight in Atlantic City that did matter, but was not televised. Gatekeeper Demetrius Hopkins, the nephew of Bernard Hopkins, got his own 6th-round stoppage win, with his opponent and fellow gatekeeper Charles Whittaker retiring before the start of the 7th.

Hopkins’ win gets him into the top 30, but not into the top 20. No changes this week.

Junior Middleweight: 2013, Feb 4-10

Posted in Junior Middleweight, Rankings with tags Anthony Mundine, Antwone Smith, Carlos Molina, Cornelius Bundrage, Cory Spinks, Javier Maciel, Saul Alvarez, Yoshihiro Kamegai on June 16, 2013 by danboxing

On Friday Night Fights from Chicago, #2 Carlos Molina thoroughly whipped #11 Cory Spinks, winning the fight 119-106 on my card. It was about as bad a beating as you’ll ever see reach the cards. Spinks lost a point in the 9th for excessive holding, and was down in the 11th and 12th (the latter being a technical knockdown).

On the undercard, gatekeepers Antwone Smith and the naturally smaller Jose Luis Castillo met up, with Smith winning a comfortable 10-round decision. Not that it would have earned him a ranking anyway, but the fight doesn’t really count toward such a step, since Smith not only came in at over 155, but did so while Castillo weighed in at just 151.75. It’s one thing if a couple guys agree not to drain as much as normal, but if you’re a middleweight fighting a small junior middleweight that’s normally a welterweight and barely a top 50 fighter to begin with, you’re not going to get much love here.

Speaking of guys that are normally welterweights, Japanese prospect Yoshihiro Kamegai knocked out weak Mexican journeymean Jose Alberto Leal in the 2nd, while straying 2 and a half pounds north of his normal weight.

Anthony Mundine lost a clear decision to Daniel Geale at 160, but that has no effect here, since Geale is so highly-ranked, and not in this division.

Carlos Molina takes over the #1 spot. Canelo still has the quantity, but Molina has the quality by a wide margin. Alvarez has defeated just one top-20 contender in 7th-ranked Ryan Rhodes, while Molina has beaten 3, including #3 James Kirkland, #7 Kermit Cintron, and #11 Spinks. What it adds up to, despite the roughly 5 fringe contenders Canelo can boast of, is the fact that Canelo simply isn’t proven on the same level as Molina. Even if the Cintron wins cancel out (despite the fact that he was much more prestigious when Molina beat him), the Kirkland win stands out over anything Canelo can counter with. Spinks, who should probably think of retirement, backtracks to #12, allowing Sergey Rabchenko to pass him.
