TULSA, OK (April 10, 2021)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 Joe Smith Jr., the common man with the common name, finally reached boxing’s apex. Smith used a furious late rally to edge Maxim Vlasov by majority decision and\u00a0win the vacant WBO light heavyweight world title Saturday evening at Osage Casino in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The scorecards \u2014 114-114, 115-113 and 115-112 \u2014 represented the nip-and-tuck nature of the bout.<\/span><\/p>\n

Smith (27-3, 21 KOs), from Long Island, New York, swept the last two rounds on the cards to pull out the victory and joins promotional\u00a0stablemate Jamel Herring as a Long Island-born world champion. He now sets his sights on the division’s other champions, including WBC\/IBF king Artur Beterbiev. <\/span>Vlasov (45-4, 26 KOs), from Samara Russia, saw his three-bout winning streak come to an end.<\/span><\/p>\n

Smith said, \u201cIt\u2019s a great feeling. It was definitely a close, tough fight. I give it to Vlasov. Great fighter. He really put on a great show tonight and toughed it out. I believe that round where I hurt him there\u2026 I believe he had his head down, and I should\u2019ve got the knockout. I think I would\u2019ve got the stoppage in {the 11th} round, but he pulled it off and made it out on his feet. I believe I got the victory tonight because they saw I landed the harder shots. He landed a lot of punches. It was a great fight.<\/span>\u201cI want the other belts. I want the big fights out there. Now I gotta get back in the gym and keep working on my technique and stuff. I believe I\u2019m going to start unifying belts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Vlasov disagrees with Smith’s assessment of the fight and believes the world title should be going home to Russia.<\/span>\u201cThis was a very hard-fought, competitive fight,” Vlasov said. “I thought I was winning rounds and was well ahead. Against the aggressive style of Joe Smith, I came forward the entire fight. I felt confident I was winning and was securing rounds in the bank with the judges. I never felt that I was behind at any stage of the fight. This was my opportunity to show the world I was a world champion, and I did that, and Joe Smith knows I did that.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ajagba Obliterates Howard<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Efe Ajagba (15-0, 12 KOs) just crashed the heavyweight contender parade. The 2016 Nigerian Olympian sent Brian Howard into another orbit with a crunching right hand. Howard twisted, fell face first, and the bout was immediately stopped. Ajagba had not fought since last September’s decision win over Jonathan Rice, but he re-established his place among the world’s top young heavyweights. At 26 years old, time is on his side.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ajagba said,\u00a0\u201cI felt good. I tried to pick the punches, use the jab. This guy is very slick sometimes. I tried to do the job. He was shaky, so when I went back to the corner after the first round, my coach told me to take my time, start with the body, leave the head.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u201cI trained for this fight, took my time, started with my boxing foundation, and came back strong. This camp was the best one for me, the best camp ever in my boxing career.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s my time to shine, so I\u2019m coming for the heavyweights.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He knocked down Karpency with a body blow\u00a0at the end of the first round, then ended things with another right hand to the body early in the second round.<\/strong><\/span> Anderson said,\u00a0\u00a0\u201cI knew he was going to find a spot to fall. I respect him for getting in there and showing up today. It\u2019s a man\u2019s sport. I\u2019m just grateful to be here, thankful for the opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI {saw} the shot. His hands kept going up. I kept throwing my jab, looking for openings, feinting, moving around the ring, and it just came. It was a good shot, and he didn\u2019t want to get back up.<\/span>

ROY JONES GIVES HIS LAST GREAT RING PERFORMANCE IN WHIPPING FELIX “TITO” TRINIDAD AT NEW YORK’S MADISON SQUARE GARDEN<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Story by Kirk Lang<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Jones-Trinidad<\/a>

TO VIEW THE FIGHT CLICK ON THE PHOTO.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

JANUARY 19, 2008 – NEW YORK CITY, NY. In a match-up of former superstars, Roy Jones Jr. dropped Felix “Tito” Trinidad twice en route to a unanimous 12-round decision victory at the \u201cWorld\u2019s Most Famous Arena,\u201d otherwise known as Madison Square Garden.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a good win for the former pound-for-pound king, who improves to 3-0 since going 0-3 against Antonio Tarver and Glen Johnson between 2004 and 2005.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jones had boasted that “Tito must go in four.\u201d\u2008However, Trinidad stuck around until the final bell.<\/span><\/p>\n

“He took a lot of shots. I can\u2019t believe he stayed in there with me for 12 rounds,” said Jones. Roy revealed he might have lived up to his pre-fight promise had he not suffered an injury in training three weeks before the fight. He tore a tendon in his left biceps during a sparring session and removed his shirt at the post-fight press conference to show the media he was not just offering up an excuse for not getting Trinidad out of there early.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I couldn\u2019t hook really and that\u2019s one of my best punches,” said Jones, “So I couldn\u2019t hook him like I wanted to.” The two knockdowns Jones scored – in the seventh and 10th rounds – came courtesy of a right hand, and a one-two combination, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Felix<\/a>

Felix Trinidad of Puerto Rico (L) fights Roy Jones Jr. of the US 19 January, 2008 during their light heavyweight fight at Madison Square Garden in New York.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

Jones got off to a slow start – which allowed Trinidad to take the first two rounds on all three scorecards, with one judge giving Trinidad the first three stanzas – but loosened up as the rounds wore on. Trinidad won over the judges in the opening rounds with his focused body attack. However, none of Felix\u2019s shots, whether downstairs or upstairs, seemed to faze Jones.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Jones-Trinidad affair was fought at a catch-weight of 170 pounds. Jones has spent most of the last decade at the light heavyweight limit of 175 pounds, and Trinidad\u2019s last world title was won at middleweight. The big questions going into battle were: Would having to make 170 weaken Jones for Trinidad?; Could Trinidad, a powerful puncher in his prime, carry his power 10 pounds up from 160 (and previously 147 and 154) to 170?; And could Jones, who suffered devastating knockouts to Tarver and Johnson, and got rocked in a third fight with Tarver, find himself on the canvas again if Trinidad landed the so-called perfect punch?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Jones-Trinidad<\/a>

Jones-Trinidad – Jones knocks Felix to the canvas.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

Felix was able to hit Jones more than he was able to hit Winky Wright in his losing effort to Wright back in May 2005, but it did not matter. Roy is used to fighting naturally bigger men and was able to take whatever Tito could connect with. The general opinion before the fight was the only way Trinidad, 42-3 (35), was going to win the fight was by knockout.<\/span><\/p>\n

The KO never came.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jones, 52-4 (38), even gave him opportunities. Standing in a neutral corner in the third round, Jones hit his stomach to say “C\u2019mon and hit me.” Shortly after, he stomped his feet and stayed in the corner. There would be more showboating from Roy, but only in spurts, unlike Jones\u2019 third fight with Tarver, where he almost seemed more concerned with showboating than trying to land punches.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Jones-Trinidad<\/a>

Jones-Trinidad – The two greats trade blows.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

Against Trinidad, the quick fists of Jones dominated the action inside the ring, especially in the latter half of the fight. There were stinging lead right hands. There were also lighting quick combinations at times. More importantly, there were flashes of the brilliance that made Jones, now 39, an absolute thrill to watch during his pound-for-pound prime. In fact, Jones\u2019 career highlight film will have to be edited to include the seventh-round flooring of Trinidad. Tito suffered a delayed reaction knockdown near Jones\u2019 corner after taking a right to the top of the head.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Jones-Trinidad<\/a>

Jones-Trinidad – Jones rocks Trinidad.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

Roy never sought out Trinidad, who had not fought since losing to Wright. It was the other way around. Trinidad and his father, Felix Sr., put out a challenge to Jones. Roy accepted the challenge and took training camp very seriously, given Trinidad\u2019s credentials. Felix was among the best fighters of the 1990\u2019s. He was welterweight champion for most of the decade and then tore through the junior middleweight division in 2000, administering beatings to David Reid and Fernando Vargas to pick up two world title belts. In 2001, Trinidad disposed of highly respected William Joppy in five rounds to pick up the WBA middleweight crown. Later in the year, Trinidad, who seemed unstoppable, lost by 12th-round TKO to future Hall-of-Famer Bernard Hopkins in a match-up for the undisputed middleweight championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Jones-Trinidad<\/a>

Jones-Trinidad – Jones lands a vicious uppercut.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

Jones thanked Trinidad\u2019s father for calling him out.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I know why he was calling my name,” said Jones. “He wanted somebody that would inspire his son to get right.” On the flip side, Jones said the prospect of facing Trinidad made him take training very seriously.<\/span><\/p>\n

“They made me get up and get off my backside and do what I had to do,” said Jones. “When somebody\u2019s coming for you, they\u2019re coming for you ready.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Jones<\/a>

Jones – Trinidad – Trinidad connects with a right.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

Promoter Don King said, “This man [Jones] has rejuvenated himself, re-dedicated himself, re-doubled his efforts and he is focused and disciplined, you saw the moves of the Roy of old.”<\/span><\/p>\n

King added that Jones was so far superior to his opponents for so long, he became a bit cavalier and abandoned from the norm, “and when he did that, he lost a couple of fights and so they said he was finished.”<\/span><\/p>\n

But when he got Tito Trinidad, said King, “That was a man that could make him go back to the hard work and the hard work pays off when you\u2019re dedicated and committed.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"ones-Trinidad<\/a>

Jones-Trinidad – Jones attacks.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

Roy talked of wanting to face super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe, who hails from Wales, in the near future, or Bernard Hopkins, who, although he holds none of the major belts, is generally recognized as the light heavyweight king, by virtue of his dominant victory over Antonio Tarver back in June 2006.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I\u2019ll take whoever. I don\u2019t care,” said Jones. “If the fans want to see a certain fight I\u2019ll go wherever I\u2019ve got to go to make it happen.”<\/span>
\n Jones said he was planning to catch a flight with King to Wales to try to make Calzaghe-Jones come to fruition. <\/span><\/p>\n

EDITOR\u2019S NOTE:\u2008Although the high prices at Madison Square Garden did not sell out the arena, an impressive crowd of 12,162 did turn out. <\/span>
\n The Jones-Trinidad battle, however, proved to be a bonanza pay-per-view event as it attracted more than 500,000 buys.<\/span><\/p>\n

Upon hearing the PPV numbers, Don King remarked, \u201cRoy Jones Jr. proved he is still one of the biggest pay-per-view stars in the sport, and I can\u2019t say enough about the show Tito and Roy put on for the fans.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Max Baer vs. King Levinsky.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

1951 – Years ago, many fighters turned to acting when their ring careers were over, or nearing their end. Two such examples are the immortal heavyweight king Max Baer and the legendary light heavyweight champion \u201cSlapsie\u201d Maxie Rosenbloom.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Filmed in 1950 and released in theaters on April 30, 1951. The following were the tag lines for the film:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1950, William Boyd released his entire film catalog of \u201cHopalong Cassidy\u201d cowboy films for television airing and became one of the sensations of the new medium. To cash in on the success of Boyd\u2019s TV\u2008show, Eagle Lion produced a low budget film that spoofed the \u201cHopalong Cassidy\u201d TV show.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Western movies always has a good guy, a villain and two young love interests. For the dimwitted hero of the film, \u201cSlapsie\u201d\u2008Maxie Rosenbloom was cast. Maxie was no stranger to playing imbeciles, feeble-minded hoodlums, or wacky characters on screen, and over the course of his career he registered 76 credits. His most memorable film moments came when he was under contract for Warner Brothers and appeared as a criminal in 1938\u2019s \u201cThe Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse\u201d with Edward G. Robinson and Humphrey Bogart, and in 1939\u2019s \u201cEach Dawn I Die\u201d with James Cagney and George Raft. Rosenbloom also was featured in two movies starring memorable comedy teams. Maxie appeared with Abbott and Costello in \u201cAbbot and Costello Meet the Keystone Cops\u201d\u2008and with Martin and Lewis in \u201cHollywood or Bust\u201d – both in 1956. \"Skipalong<\/a> \"Skipalong<\/a>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In television, Maxie made appearances on The Red Skelton Show, The Donna Reed Show, The Munsters, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and I Dream of Jeannie.\"Skipalong-poster\"<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Max Baer, whose son Max Jr. later achieved television fame as Jethro on the classic Beverly Hillbillies, made his first movie appearance just before he won the title in \u201cThe Prizefighter and the Lady\u201d in 1933, where he played the lead character and the beautiful Myrna Loy was his love interest. In that same film, the legendary Primo Carnera had a big part in the film with the real-life champion playing a reel-life one in the climatic battle in the movie against Baer.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Max<\/a>

Due to the sparring that was done in the film, Max became so familiar with Carnera\u2019s style that it was a huge help for when he eventually fought him the next year. For good luck in the real Carnera bout, Baer wore the same trunks in the fight that he did in the motion picture. Also in that film were boxing legends Jack Dempsey and James J. Jeffries, along with Frank Moran, Joe Rivers, Jess Willard and Jackie Fields. \"Maxie<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Baer also joined Abbott and Costello in the film \u201cAfrica Screams\u201d in 1949, along with an appearance on their television program in 1953. Max also made television appearances on classic shows such as The Lone Ranger\u2008and Make Room For Daddy\u2008in the 1950\u2019s.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSkipalong Rosenbloom\u201d\u2008was in the theaters a brief time before it was purchased by United Artists and sold to television, where it had a popular run.

Rosenbloom (1904-1976) fought professionally from 1923 to 1939. On June 25, 1930, Maxie won a 15-round split-decision over Jimmy Slattery at Bison Stadium in Buffalo, NY, to win the world\u2019s light heavyweight championship. He defended his title seven times before relinquishing his crown for the heavyweight division. In his career he beat the likes of future heavyweight king James J. Braddock, John Henry Lewis and Mickey Walker. Maxie retired with an incredible 207-39-26 (19 KO\u2019s) record, with 24 no-decision battles. The light hitting Rosenbloom racked up an amazing 2,523 rounds!\"Maxie<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Baer (1909-1959) fought from 1929 to 1941. He brutally stopped the great Max Schmeling before 53,000 fans at Yankee Stadium in the tenth round. In his next bout on June 14, 1934, Max knocked Primo Carnera down ten times before the bout was stopped at 2:16 of the 11th round at the Madison Square Garden Bowl.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
