Danny Green vs Paul Briggs
on Main Event Wednesday
21st July 2010 17/7/2010 by Young Victor
Paul Briggs after a layoff of 3
years will fight IBO World Cruiserweight Champion over 12 rounds for
his title.
Green is a hot favourite but
Briggs is planning on finishing the fight inside the distance. In
theory Green will be in much better condition as he has been in
fighting shape since he demolished legend Roy Jones Junior and later
Manny Siaca in April 2010. Green has not fought over 5 rounds since
2007.
YVB think Green will be too fast, agile and
destructively hungry but Briggs being a big puncher is always with a
good chance.

Savior needed for top
line fight card 17/7/2010 by Young Victor
Local Melbourne promoter Charlie Liparota of RINGSIDE PROMOTIONS
looks like being the man to save PABA Light heavyweight fight
featuring "Tiger" Tim Bell and Joel Casey' along with the great
undercard fights planned previously by Sydneysider Michael O'Brien.
The card was planned to run at Sebel Hotel ballroom on 8th Aug. when
it fell through after changing from Sebel Hotel to MCEC and
totally abandoned.
Mr. Liparota is desperately trying to acquire another venue for this
show.
You can rest assured that as soon as this is accomplished we will
bring you the details on our boxing ticket sales section to the

Briggs
would have taken Green Machine in the car park
Paul Briggs said he would have fought Danny Green in the car park
after authorities in NSW refused to sanction his quest to win the
IBO world cruiserweight title.
This prompted the furious pair to shift the July 21 fight from the
Sydney Entertainment Centre to Perth's Challenge Stadium.
The NSW Combat Sports Authority decided against sanctioning the
fight because there were concerns over Briggs' health as he had not
fought in a competitive bout since February 2007.

Daniel

vs
Allan Jay
Tunacao
Tunacao Win
points
Tunacao
outclasses
Iannazzo
by Young Victor
Iannazzo
started in
the first
round with a
seemingly
cautious
manner and
it was
thought that
he may have
been
troubled by
Tunacao's
southpaw
stance.
Iannazzo
stayed well
away from
his opponent
with his
punches
falling very
short of
target.
Throughout
most rounds
Daniel's
left lead
punches
seemed to be
aimed only
at Allan's
right glove
and not to
the face.
Iannazzo
made several
bursts of
fury he
normally
makes at
most of his
opponents
but were not
working out
against his
confident
opponent.
His usual
potent left
and rights
he ends
these bursts
with were
way off
target as
Tunacao was
very fast in
ducking and
weaving in
addition to
his good
defense
throughout.
Tunacao
remained
very
composed
throughout
the fight
and won at
least 11
rounds of
the contest.
A large
amount
of standing
absolutely
still,
possibly
teasing one
another
during the
rounds was
by acted by
both
fighters
with nothing
gained.
The split
decision by
two of the
judges stood
out like you
know what.
The scores
by two of
the judges
were way out.
The
technique in
fighting
southpaws
may be a
forgotten
art.

Yannick Win
TKO rnd 8
William
Hadlow with
a lion's
heart fought
the 8 rounds
in a gallant
manner with
plenty of
attacks and
good defense
but fell
short of
Melbourne's
Serge
Yannick's
brilliant
tactics and
control of
the fight.
At times it
was
astonishing
at how much
punishment
William can
take before
relenting

Memorable
WBF Asia Pacific
Cruiserweight title
fight at Malvern Town
Hall
25th.
June 2010:
Courageous orthodox
fighter Kane McKay
(right) dug
deep with no avail to find a way to
stop promising up and
comer Blake Caparello (left).
For 8
gruesome rounds he
attempted to turn the
fight his way with
Caparello a southpaw taunting his
opponent in close
quarters allowing McKay
to shower him with
punches which some were
connecting and most were
not. However this suited
Caparello as at payback
time he punished McKay
with severe rights and
lefts.
The fight
was a huge crowed
pleaser throughout Kane
being an expert at
creating such events.
YVB
expect Caparello to rise
up to national standard
very quickly as he
possesses lots of
natural ability that may
even take him a long way
beyond.
"History in the making"
Towards
the end of round 8 with
both fighters wearing
injuries from this
gruesome fight and Kane
against the ropes in an
upright stance seemingly
out on his feet,
suddenly, dropped his
hands down to his waist
and challenged Blake to
hit him again which in
turn did take place and
in turn suffered more
blows to the head.
Immediately the referee
Malcolm Bulner stopped
proceedings to award a
Tko win to the new WBF
Cruiserweight champion.
When
asked by YVB in the
change rooms why he
ended the fight in that
manner he responded he
had no memory of the
instance.
It seems
that the towel thrown in
at the right moment or
an earlier stoppage by
Bulner may have saved
the last two destructive
punches that preceded
the stoppage.
There
always is a good time
for retirement from the
game of boxing and
Kane's time, a family
man and a father of two
children can wisely
choose this epic
occasion to exit
proudly.

Callan Orchard to

Capable
Dane Campbell the larger
built than his opponent
Callan Orchard seemed to
be in control of his
fight until about mid
rounds when Callan
decided to retaliate and
countered well
which turned the
direction of the fight
very quickly.
this showed his ability
to changing his fight
plan which resulted in a
huge win earning a
standing ovation by all
fans in attendance,
unfortunately a photo of
Dane was not acquired as
it takes two to make a
fight and deserves
praise for his efforts. John McCubbin a

Young

sparring with much
publicized Les Kane
(rough boys but later

couple of rounds in
about 1960/61.
Les was
brought up by his
brother Brian Kane to
Snowy's gym whom
stood around the
ring watching as YV put
him through a few moves
but was far from a
professional.
Despite
living and kicking
around North Melbourne
in those youthful times
YV had selected friends
but knew most of the
North boys whom were
very fond of him through
the boxing days.
Brian was
the one really more
involved in boxing and
had a few scraps with a
couple of YV's opponents
in later days unknown to
YV at the time.
YV
remembers being taken
once to a now, famous
two-up game and once
going to what they
called the Barrel (a
party where by midnight
a hundred or so boys
would belt into each
other until heavily
marked, black eyes and
bleeding) where the next
day they would show up

Winner: T Hunt TKO 3:00 R5 (Jean
Claude retired in corner)
Referee: Ignatius Missailidis
Judges: Chris Anderson : Peter Flaherty
: Brian Butler
Tim Hunt in
early rounds had his usual brilliant
composure spoilt by the one tunneled
style of Jean Claude.
Claude swings like a windmill and it
didn't take Hunt long to define his
choice of fighting to completely
outclass his opponent and land all
punches at will.
During the
contest Claude's
both eyes were cut and it was decided by
his corner to retire from the fight.

Caparello started the first round with
very accurate and speedy straight lefts
followed by as accurate landed straight
rights which served him well for the
first 3 rounds but was out boxed at
close quarters.
Joel Casey a
handy experienced fighter found his
ground starting from the 4th round and
got on the mark as Caparello's condition
seemed to fade a little.
Casey fought
well and used very impressively targeted
uppercuts for the following rounds but
didn't do quite enough to take the
points win from Caparello.

Australian Boxing legend former World
champion Lester Ellis.
The fans at

uninteresting fight
Green dismisses talk of Hopkins bout
Danny Green says Bernard Hopkins has put
paid to any chance of them fighting in
Australia following his performance in a
"bizarre" fight against fellow American
legend Roy Jones Jr.
Hopkins scored a comfortable unanimous
12-round points decision in a fight
which at times threatened to descend
into farce at Mandalay Bay hotel and
casino in Las Vegas.
On three occasions, 45-year-old Hopkins
dropped to a knee and took a breather
after twice being hit on the back of the
head and on another occasion from a low
blow.

Lovett, 26, meets Queenslander Shane

Frank Bianco returns to
gym!
22nd Jan. 2009
Last week Frank Bianco
returned to his gym he has run since 1971
looking in good shape after his bad
acquaintance with cancer.
Although he is still being
treated with chemo he is full of life and
looking ahead with confidence. Frank has
been running his gym at Lower Templestowe
for the last 16 years with one of the last boxers
he trained being Luke Moloney, he was recently seen in
"the contender series"
Frank started boxing at 11
years of age at the Collingwood youth club
with Leo Cole, he won the Golden Gloves
award twice 1977 and 78. After turning pro he
fought Billy O'Conner and beat Alan Presnell
he told YVB he sparred Les Dunn many times
Les being a former opponent of the writer.
His gym mates then being Bobby
Dunn, Wayne Bannister, Lionel Rose, Leo
Young and Johnny Famechon, even Tony Mundine and many
more.
According to Young Victor,
Frank is a softy trainer and he admits that
he does not push his kids which is good
practice, he said that unless his boys are
absolutely ready he does not let them fight
anybody.
YVB hope that Frank keeps on
the improve as he has a lot of young men
that love the way he runs his gym.
Frank has a good man in
Scotty seen below that helps him keep the
gym open and Scotty has been doing a great
job while Frank was in hospital in keeping the
gym running. Dedicated to Frank's gym,
Scotty catches the bus from Preston and
walks if he doesn't have his bus fare money.

17th Jan 2009
Bernard knows this is not

around world rated fighters waiting for his

There can only be one reason for all the
excuses made by Bernard Hopkins in making
sure this fight does not take place and that
is that he is scared of facing Green after

Sam Soliman vs Shannon
McMahon for WBF title
13th Jan 2009:
Sam Soliman is to fight Shannon McMahon
at Moonee Valley Racecourse 13th March.
What seems a lopsided match,
the fight is taking place and places McMahon
in what surely looks to be a difficult
task to undertake according to YVB.
Shannon is a good boxer but
handling Sam may be hard.
Sam a master at spoiling
anyone's style, this proven by beating
Enrique Ornelas
in 2006 who just went the distance with
legend Bernard Hopkins in December 09 with
Sam
still, not getting a chance at a world title.
Common knowledge was that fighting Sam
was difficult so he
was never given the chance he deserved for a
world title fight.
Sam fought and lost to
Ronald Wright (Winky) a disputed
decision having deserved better result.
Sam Soliman is now on the edge of
his career but full of cagey experience with
fitness being one of his favorite
conditions.
A win for Shannon would be a great
achievement, it would place him in a good
position for bigger fights. Shannon is a
great person and deserves this chance.
