Peterson Lands On Khan

San Francisco, CA- Anytime a “house” fighter gets beat on HBO, unless it is to the severity in which Kelly Pavlik was beaten up by Sergio Martinez, the HBO “cheerleaders” put their best spin on the fight for “their” guy. Pavlik had his head handed to him, thus there was no room in invoke the “C” word which in boxing is “controversial.”

OUT LOUD KHAN QUESTIONS PETERSON’S “BALLS”

On Saturday, Amir Khan was that guy and he lost to Lamont Peterson, this after committing a couple of fouls and then doing an imitation of “The Roadrunner” of cartoon fame. That being said, the “special” Sunday edition of “Ring Talk” had interviews with sore losers Oscar De La Hoya and Amir Khan. Oscar was wearing his promotional hat here, not his drag queen lingerie, and you can hear him moaning about Khan losing and his having two points taken away from him. Khan, who has played the part of the prodigy, this even after his failure to win a medal in the Olympics and then being KO’d by Breidiss Prescott and refused to give him a rematch.

LISTEN AS PETERSON SAYS “BRING IT ON”

Lamont Peterson, a decided underdog who got little respect regarding his ability to beat Kahn by boxing pundits, is game for an immediate rematch. And when I say immediate, listen to how soon Peterson would like to do it! Jon Jones smoked Lyoto Machida at UFC 140 on Saturday night, while Tito Ortiz may have performed in and lost his last “big” fight with the UFC.

Ray Robinson Ducked Charley Burley

Charlotte, NC- According to “AudioEnglish.net” as a noun, “Welter” has one meaning; “a confused multitude of things.” As a verb, “Welter” can have three meanings; 1) to toss, roll. or rise and fall in an uncontrolled way; 2) to roll around; 3) to be immersed in. The definitions are kind of ironic as it pertains to ‘Welterweight’ and boxing, because as you study the history of The Manly Art of Self Defense, you will find that welterweight has been one of the most consistent high energy and high talent weight classes down through the years.

ARCHIE MOORE & RAY ROBINSON SAID “CHARLEY BURLEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE GREATEST”

One of the all time great Old School welterweights (147 lbs) that has been overlooked and underrated by history is Charley Burley, who retired with a record of 84-12-2, with 50 knockouts and 1 no-contest. Just how Charley Burley gets overlooked when all time great welterweights are talked about is beyond The Professor, after all Charley beat the socks off the future light heavyweight champion, The ‘Ol Mongoose Archie Moore, knocking Archie down four times when they fought. On April 20th, 1942 while Charley Burley was in New York to fight Phil McQuillian, when in the lobby of a Hotel, Charley happened to run into none other than “Sugar Ray” Robinson. This chance meeting led both Burley and Robinson fighting on the same card later that same month in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on the 30th. Charley KO’d his opponent, Sammy Wilson in the second round, and Robinson also KO’d his opponent Dick Banner in the second, but while watching Charley from ringside, Sugar Ray told his manager, “I’m too pretty to fight Charley Burley!” And Ray Robinson (as well as every other middleweight title holder) avoided Charlie during his whole career.

BURLEY EVEN FOUGHT GREAT EZZARD CHARLES

What many do not know about the talent that Charley Burley had was that for the first six years of his 14 year fisticuff career, the 5’9″ Burley fought as a small welterweight for 38 fights. Then moving up to middleweight to earn bigger purses, he still was on the small side, usually weighing 151 to 156 pounds. He weighed just 151 for his second fight against Ezzard Charles, Whom he lost to twice, but was 10 pounds lighter than Ezzard Charles. Charley was an all-round complete fighter, a boxer-puncher, who was extremely accurate, and whose timing was almost perfect. Charley also possessed a granite chin. No less an expert than Archie Moore said that Charley Burley was the best fighter he ever faced.

BURLEY HAD TO FIGHT FOR THE “COLORED” TITLE

Beginning his professional career in 1936 at 19 years of age, Charley went 19-1 before losing a disputed split decision to leading welterweight contender Fritzie Zivic, who would go on to beat Henry Armstrong for the world title. Only three months later, Charley Burley would avenge that loss to Zivic (and win the third match easily as well). Then two years into his career, in 1938, Charley Burley, now weighing all of 145 pounds won the “Colored Welterweight Title” from the Cocoa Kid in Millvale, Pa., dropping the Kid three times on the way to a decisive unanimous decision win.

RACIST PIGS THAT RAN BOXING DETERMINED HISTORY

The sad chapter in boxing and the nations history during this time frame was the way people of Color were treated or denied opportunity. When Charley Burley beat The Cocoa Kid for “The Colored Welterweight Title”, the only other fighter in Charley’s weight class that could come close to matching him was another excellent “fighter of color” who was also denied a world title shot, and that was Holman Williams, 146-30-11. So, frozen out of the world title picture, and with other contenders refusing to fight them, they fought each other six times. The final record between them stood at three wins apiece with one no-decision, although Charley Burley did take time from their rivalry to knock out 220 pound heavyweight J.D. Turner, while Charley himself weighed only 148 pounds!

BURLEY SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AMONG THE ‘ALL TIME GREATS’ OF BOXING

Charley Burley was inducted into Ring Magazine’s Boxing Hall of Fame in 1983, the World Boxing Hall of Fame in 1987, and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1992, Charley Burley died at the age of 75 on October 16th, 1992. And while the inductions into the various Halls of Fame were well deserved, Charley Burley could have won a world welterweight title, and would have if he had been given the shot, at welterweight and/or middleweight, but he was too good, and the “wrong color” at a time when boxing politics and society were truly “welter” in the the full sense of the term.

Professor Chuck Marbry

San Francisco, CA- The longest running fight show in history, 26+ years, “Ring Talk Worldwide” radio, with host Pedro Fernandez throwing firebombs at HBO’s boxing hierarchy, had writer Kevin “KP” Perry, who displayed once again his vast knowledge of the boxing game, along with “Slammin’ Sammy” Perez doing his bit on the UFC, Strikeforce and MMA in general. In addition, platinum recording artist Lenny Williams was a guest, and we aired some of comedian Bobby Slayton’s best jokes.

LEONARD RECALLING HOMOSEXUAL ATTACK BY OLYMPIC COACH

We also went into “Sugar Ray” Leonard’s claim of being fondled and then “kissed” in his private area by a 1976 Olympic coach. Leonard’s much ballyhooed recently released book, there are copies are are on EBay.com for as much $79.

BEST DEAL IS SIGNED COPY & DURAN-LEONARD I PROGRAM FOR $30!

The best price on an autographed copy on EBay is being offered by boxing’s premier bookseller Pugilibri for $30, and they will throw in a Roberto Duran-Ray Leonard I fight night program from Montreal in June 1980. That’s the best deal I could find for my readers and listeners. You can go directly to Pugilibri by emailing them at orders@pugilibri.com

SUSPENDED JUDGES WERE ALSO A “HOT TOPIC”

The three suspended New Jersey jurists who gave Paul Williams the win over Erislandy Lara last Saturday, that subject was covered in detail with Kevin “KP” Perry, the same person that has been chasing New Jersey boxing boss Aaron Davis, thus far to no avail. Interesting show, see why “Ring Talk Worldwide” is often imitated, but NEVER duplicated!

San Francisco, CA- The Thursday night edition of “Ring Talk” radio was off the charts! We opened with Kevin Perry explaining David Haye’s performance, or lack there of. “Slammin’ Sammy” Perez went deep into UFC 132, while Jeff Mayweather talked about Manny Pacquiao being “more image” than substance right now. Jeff was talking about Manny’s suing Floyd Mayweather and his fighter, Celestino Caballero getting robbed in a WBA title fight last week.

MERCHANT BLAMED THE PAC-FLOYD FIGHT ON FLOYD

Lastly, you will see why “Ring Talk” is often “imitated, but never duplicated,” as HBO’s Godfather Larry Merchant blamed Floyd Mayweather and not Manny Pacquiao for the fact they haven’t fought yet, something host Pedro Fernandez and Larry argued over. What does it mean? It means this was a great show that you need to listen to right now! Listen by using browser near top of page, clicking “RINGTALK RADIO” or click

San Francisco, CA- With a wide array of topics, this edition of “Ring Talk Worldwide” was split 50-50 between MMA and boxing.  Writer Kevin Perry was first up and he discussed everything in boxing from Floyd Mayweather to Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., the fights this weekend on HBO and we again hit on the subject of “Random” Drug Testing and Manny Pacquiao. UFC star “King Kyle” Kingsbury, or “Triple K” as I call him, ripped last week’s Strikeforce card, talked about his recent win, and the world off MMA, particularly the UFC in detail.  To listen click here

San Francisco, CA- What constitutes a good show? I believe that it’s being informative, entertaining, and sometimes controversial. On this past Saturday’s “Ring Talk Live “ host Pedro Fernandez was going back and forth with writer Kevin Perry over Floyd Mayweather not appearing for his latest deposition in court. It got pretty heated!!…listen and you’ll see why “Ring Talk” is often imitated, but never duplicated.
MMA wizard “Slammin’ Sammy” Perez was his masterful self talking Strikeforce and UFC.
The leader of Tower of Power, Emilio Castillo spoke about his father Jack Castillo, his Detroit boxing roots and when he worked with “Sugar Ray” Robinson. Seems that Emilio himself was trained by the late great Hall of Famer Eddie Futch. He also talked about Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and more. TO LISTEN CLICK
