It is said that Quebox promoter Jean-Yves Paquet hopes to get a World Title fight for Lacenaire if he can get past the hot anmerican prospect.

Éric Corbin (11-0-0 [11]) will fight 39 years old Panaméan slugger Guillermo Andres (22-9-1 [14]) in a 10-rounder in the co-feature. Jifar Machupa (3-0-0 [1] and Patrice Lemieux, who will make his pro debut, will also take part on the card.

[aaaaaaaaa]

Nice start. The SMW WBO champ looks pretty beatable (looking at his record) so i guess you could have a champ soon enough.

Parker retains title

January 16th 2004 - WBC Light Heavyweight champion Jason Parker (38-1-0 [36]) scored his 38th career win and defended his WBC crown for the first time tonight as he easily beat Markus Scott (14-6-2 [8]) from French Polynesia by second round knockout.

Parker had recieved a lot of heat from the boxing community for defending his title against a virtually unknown fighter, and this quick knockout proves that the former Super Middleweight WBA champion, who was dethroned by Nigerian Mezgebu Mazomakali in November 2002 by a wide unanimous decision, may have chosen an unworthy opponent for his first title defence.

Marshall beats Morrow by UD

Australian WBA Featherweight champion Larry Marshall (31-2-0 [13]) successfully defended his title for the third time today, his first mandatory defence, against American Bernie Morrow (25-2-2 [6]). Marshall edged Morrow 117-111, 116-113 and 116-114 on the judges' scorecard after a well-dispuded fight. Morrow tried to keep the fight as a boxing match, but the champion's aggressiveness and willingness to turn it into a war was what won him the fight.

Heavyweight excitement?

For the first time since the Gary Moore-Rupert Godwin fight back in 1993, we may have a heavyweight bout as fight of the year. Two very different boxers came in the ring in the WBC championship fight between Mike Lewis (27-3-0 [24]) and Chris Anderson (36-6-0). Lewis was in superb shape, as the smallest of the four heavyweight champions looked very quick and strong. On the other hand, Anderson, who measured at 6'9", seven inches taller than his opponen, was somewhat fat and slow, but looked much more powerful.

Lewis dominated the first two rounds, even knocking down the huge Anderson in the second round. The wind turned though and Anderson looked like he was too strong for Lewis who's face was starting to show some major swelling. In the fifth round, Lewis was knocked down and looked like he would not be able to continue, but he somehow got up and the referee decided to let the fight go on. Lewis survived the round, and even came back strong in a well disputed sixth round. Finally, in the seventh round, Lewis landed a great hook directly to his opponent's chin that ended the fight. Lewis retained his heavyweight title in his third defence.

February 20th 2004 - Gala Quebox I

Patrice Lemieux (0-0-0) vs. Nick Cunningham (0-2-0)
Junior Middleweight - 6 Rounder

Round 1
Lemieux comes out looking very good, it doesn't show that this is his first professionnal fight. Lemieux is landing very well for most of the round and doesn't get hit back. Impressive double body hook by Lemieux at the end of the round, but Cunningham gets back with a right direct.

Jutras scorecard: 10-9 Lemieux

Round 2
Cunningham held his own for the most part of the second round, even though Lemieux was the aggressor. Lemieux finally got going in the last thirty seconds and shook his opponent badly with a few seconds left.

Jutras scorecard: 10-9 Lemieux ; 20-18 Lemieux

Round 3
A boxing lesson from Lemieux. He showed the extent of his talent by landing at will, throwing combinations from both hands and keeping at good distance to prevent his opponent from landing anything.

Jutras scorecard: 10-9 Lemieux ; 30-27 Lemieux

Round 4
Cunningham is starting to look very bad in there as Lemieux is hitting with more power. Cunningham started fighting more conservatively towards the end, pretty much running away from Lemieux.

Jutras scorecard: 10-9 Lemieux ; 40-36 Lemieux

Round 5
Lemieux starts toning down on his intensity, maybe lacking a bit of gas. He is still dominating his opponent, who sees a point taken away by the referee for a low blow.

Jutras scorecard: 10-8 Lemieux ; 50-44 Lemieux

Round 6
A boring sixth round with both fighters out of energy and Cunningham holding and grabbing for the entire round.

Jutras scorecard: 10-10 ; 60-54 Lemieux

Judges' decision
Pascal Picard scores the bout 60-53
Raymond Malette scores the bout 60-54
Jeff Pandolfo scores the bout 60-54

The winner by unanimous decision, Patrice Lemieux.

[duff88]

Jifar Machupa (3-0-0 [1)) vs. Albert Mitchell (3-6-1 [1])
Cruiserweight - 6 Rounder

Round 1
Mitchell doesn’t look like he’s In the same league as Machupa, who lands very sharply early on and completely dominates the first round.

Jutras scorecard: 10-9 Machupa

Round 2
A slower round where Mitchell didn’t look as bad, holding whenever he was in danger. Machupa was less active, jabbing Mitchell through the round and only throwing aggressively towards the end.

Jutras scorecard: 10-9 Machupa ; 20-18 Machupa


Round 3
The round started with a boom as Machupa showed excellent one-punch power by sending Mitchell to the canvas with a beautiful cross to the chin. Mitchell looked stunned, but got back up and waited for the eight count. Machupa dominated the rest of the round without putting Mitchell in danger again.

Jutras scorecard: 10-8 Machupa ; 30-26 Machupa

Round 4
More or less one quarter of the expected attendance has filled their seats yet, and this fight has nothing to keep them too excited. Machupa is dominating his opponent and is showing that even at this stage of his career, this fight is a huge mismatch.

Jutras scorecard: 10-9 Machupa ; 40-35 Machupa

Round 5
Machupa came out with the intention to finish the fight, and it almost looks like he could have done it at will at any time. He was very aggressive, throwing combinations on an overmatched opponent who was sent to the canvas two times and didn’t try to get up at the count of ten on the second knockdown.


The winner by 5th round KO, Jifar Machupa!

[duff88]

Éric Corbin (11-0-0 [11]) vs. Guillermo Andres (22-9-1 [14])
Junior Lightweight - 10 Rounder

Round 1
Corbin imposes his rhythm soon in the fight, landing decisively on the 39-years-old Andres. Corbin seems to be landing punches at will, and by the end of the round we can already see some signs of swelling around Andres’ eyes.

Jutras scorecard: 10-9 Corbin

Round 2
Corbin starts the round very aggressively, and one minute in he sends Andres to the canvas with a three punch combination that ended with a powerful left hook to the body. Andres quickly got up, but he barely even landed a single punch until the end of the round.

Jutras scorecard: 10-8 Corbin ; 20-17 Corbin


Round 3
Corbin continued showing why he is considered one of boxing’s most promising prospects in the third round. After landing at will for the first minute and a half, Corbin finished the job by landing a stunning right hook that sent Andres to the canvas for good.

The winner by 3rd round KO, Éric Corbin!


Coming up next, the main event 12-round Super Middleweight fight between Mathieu Lacenaire (31-3-1 [20]) and American David Greer (16-1-0 [9]).

[duff88]

Mathieu Lacenaire (31-3-1 [20]) vs. David Greer (16-1-0 [9])
Super Middleweight - 12 Rounder

Round 1
Both fighters are studying each other early in the fight. The bigger Lacenaire is using his jab well early on, but we can already see that Greer's southpaw stance and his aggressiveness are going to be a problem to Lacenaire who eats a few good shots through the round.

Jutras scorecard: 10-9 Greer

Round 2
Greer landed nicely to start the round, but Lacenaire took control halfway in, throwing nice combinations at his opponent. It was a close round, but Lacenaire gets the edge for a better control of the action.

Jutras scorecard: 10-9 Lacenaire ; 19-19

Round 3
Lacenaire starts the round very well, landing a few nice shots. Greer looked stunned by a right cross early on, but Lacenaire couldn't continue. The crowd is already chanting for Lacenaire, but it seems to be giving wings to Greer instead. Greer came back at the end of the round with relentless aggression.

Jutras scorecard: 10-10 ; 29-29

Round 4
Greer worked inside for most of the round and Lacenaire wasn't able to contain him. The American certainly did some damage during that round, his best of the night.

Jutras scorecard: 10-9 Greer ; 39-38 Greer

Round 5
Greer extended his lead early in the fifth round, but Lacenaire made a nice comeback halfway in to steal the round. Lacenaire landed some nice combinations that seemed to hurt Greer.

Jutras scorecard: 10-9 Lacenaire ; 48-48

Round 6
A very exciting sixth round in which the wind turned again; Lacenaire was in control for the first part but Greer made a great comeback towards the end, hurting Lacenaire with a nice arsenal of punches. Lacenaire's face is starting to swell up.

Jutras scorecard: 10-9 Greer ; 58-57 Greer

Round 7
Lacenaire was more passive during the seventh round, defending more effectively and keeping his opponent on the outside with his jab. Still, Greer was the aggressor and landed the better shots, so he has to take that round.

Jutras scorecard: 10-9 Greer ; 68-66 Greer

Round 8
Lacenaire started the eight round with new found energy, and it showed as he sent Greer to the canvas with a nice right uppercut thirty seconds in. Greer got back on his feet, but still looked kinda wobbly. Greer held in there for a minute until Lacenaire unleashed a solid two-punch combination that sent Greer to the ground again. The American was able to survive the rest of the round.

Jutras scorecard: 10-7 Lacenaire ; 76-75 Lacenaire

Round 9
The crowd was chanting Lacenaire as the round started, and the fighter from Joliette looked like he wanted to finish it quickly, starting the round with a commanding cross. He may have been over-aggressive though as Greer landed a cross of his own a minute later that sent Lacenaire to the canvas. Lacenaire got back to his legs immediately, but this may have been an important point loss.

Jutras scorecard: 10-8 Greer ; 85-84 Greer

Round 10
Lacenaire recieved some heat from his cornermen between rounds, and he certainly came out and made them forget the 9th round during this one. Lacenaire was dominant in all aspects, except he wasn't able to send his opponent to the canvas.

Jutras scorecard: 10-9 Lacenaire ; 94-94

Round 11
Greer had a nice eleventh round as he tried to be as aggressive as he was early on in the fight. He landed some powerful shots and even seemed to shake Lacenaire towards the end.

Jutras scorecard: 10-9 Greer ; 114-113 Greer

Round 12
The fighter who wins this last round should have a solid option on the win. Greer catched Lacenaire with a sweet uppercut early in the round, and Lacenaire was shaken. The Canadian fighter didn't look like he was able to reccuperate as his opponent looked hungrier and dominated this last round.

Jutras scorecard: 10-9 Greer ; 114-112 Greer

Judges' decision
Raymond Malette scores the bout 114-112 for Greer
Emilio Rodriguez scores the bout 113-112 for Lacenaire
Ray Vanbiesbrook scores the bout 113-113

This fight is a draw!

Hugo retains in snorefest

Heavyweight Romel Hugo (24-2-1 [17]) retained his WBO title during his first defence in an unimpressive draw against the boxer he had KOed to win the title, Louis Antrill (28-1-1 [9]) from England. In a fight that was widely classified as boring, the Togolese survived a second round knockdown and was able to get out with a 115-114, 113-114, 114-114 draw.
