Jason Booth (35-5) faces the toughest test of his career when he challenges for Molitor’s (32-1) IBF world super-bantamweight title at Houghton-le-Spring’s Rainton Meadows Arena on Saturday September 11.

Jason Booth reckons he knows what it is like to be whacked by Steve Molitor even though he has never faced him. The Nottingham boxer got a close up of the slick Canadian, when Molitor outpointed his younger brother, Nicky in a Commonwealth bantamweight title fight almost eight years go.

Jason, 32, said: “It was tough to see my brother lose to Molitor. I used to get so wrapped up in Nicky’s fights it was like I was in there taking punches.

Light flyweight world champion Giovanni Segura unified the WBA and WBO 108 pound titles with an eighth round KO of formerly undefeated Ivan Calderon earlier this evening as seen on pay-per-view. It was a liver shot that felled the Puerto Rican as he took a knee for a full ten count. The bout started out with Calderon boxing beautifully in the early rounds. In Round 5 Segura really started to take the fight to the smaller man and hammered him along the ropes. Just when it looked like he was out on his feet Calderon came storming back with well placed power punches. While the shots landed flush, they did not deter Segura who kept his foot on the gas. After another good round of boxing from Calderon in the sixth, Segura picked up his pace in the eighth and landed a telling blow to Calderon’s liver. The former champ continued rolling away from the follow up shots but eventually took a knee where he remained as he was counted out. The time was 1:34 of Round 8, and with the win Segura improved to 25-1, (21 KOs) while Calderon dropped to 34-1-1 (6 KOs).

Marcos Maidana W UD12 Demarcus Corley

WBA interim light welterweight champion Marcos Maidana scored a hard fought and foul-filled 12-round unanimous decision over former 140-pound world champion Demarcus ‘Chop Chop’ Corley moments ago at the Luna Park stadium in Argentina. Maidana scored with big power punches through the first half of the fight and had Corley hurt and down in the late rounds. Corley, the durable veteran, collected his wits and made a push late in the fight behind several head-butts and low blows, but Maidana returned the favour. After a back-and-forth 12th round, Maidana was ahead on all three official cards by scores of 117-110, 115-112 and 117-111.

Hank Lundy W UD10 Omri Lowther

‘Hammerin’ Hank Lundy, (AKA ‘Money in the Bank’ Hank) came to Montreal on short notice to dominate Omri Lowther over 10 rounds in a special Saturday night broadcast on ESPN2. Lundy took the fight to Lowther in nearly every round and landed a plethora of hard hooks. Lowther stood up well under fire but seemed over his head in terms of ring experience. After 10 rounds were complete, Lundy was ahead on all three official cards 100-90, 100-90 and 98-92.

Randy Couture TKO 1 (Submission) James Toney

The bell rang in Boston for the co-main event at UFC 118 with Randy Couture and James Toney circling one another for a few moments without throwing anything. Approximately 20 seconds in, Couture darted towards Toney’s shins and took him down with ease. The renowned pugilist struggled on his back to avoid punches for a minute or two and was subsequently choked out by some sort of triangle choke. It was over very quickly, and the boxing star looked like he had no business being in the same optagon as Couture.

From the FightFan archives, get a behind the scenes look at the hilarious and terrifying day Ace Freeman spent after crashing James Toney’s 2006 training camp. Toney will make his MMA debut tonight live on PPV at UFC 118!

James Toney confronts Ace

It was a sunny mid February afternoon in Los Angeles as I walked up the steps of the famed “Wild Card Boxing club” on Vine Street in Hollywood.

It was my first time visiting Freddie Roach’s renowned gym and I was excited to see who I might find upon entering.

At the top of the stairs I reached a closed door with a sign that read “Wild Card Closed from 1:00 to 3:30 for private training camp of James Toney. No admittance, no exceptions”.

Never one to be discouraged, I walked right in.

I was met at the entrance by a large security worker who stepped in my way.

Born in Santa Fe, Argentina, Maidana is looking to impress in front of what will be a sold out crowd on his home turf. A statement win over the well travelled Corley could land the imposing South American a late 2010 showdown against the likes of Amir Khan or another marquee name in boxing’s deep 140 pound division.
