Rest in the room, Livingstone Bramble

Published

By: Sean Crose

I suppose this is one of those cases where you had to be there. Perhaps it was not the largest featherlight in history – although it was certainly very good. Perhaps he did not have the longest title – really just a few tiny years. However, Livingstone Brame, who died this weekend at the age of 64, was nothing but unforgettable. Nobody expected to win the featherlight WBA title in 1984, but this was what a countryman from St. Croix, stopping the bleeding master Ray Mancini, in 14. They both fought in a very close rematch the following year, but once again Brame won (this time on the cards of the judge).

Things became acidic for Bramble, when Edwina Rosario in Miami in Miami was forced to two rounds before their fight of 1986. It was the last time Bramek stood in the ring world champion. After losing the title belt, Rosario stimulating Bragble will never reach the status of the world championship again. However, this did not mean that the man could not be a entertaining ring practitioner. The truth was that Bramble was a good television. Regardless of whether he was entering the ring, holding a immense snake, trading in Mancini blows, and even becoming overturned by Rosario, the fight against Bramble Livingstone was entertaining.

While his career has fallen for decades, Brambble is doing well in the early 90s, engaging stimulating battles in programs such as Tuesday fights. Perhaps he was no longer a dominant warrior, but at that moment the man personified a good box – not a great box, but a good boxing, which was something that most of the former masters could not say long after their first number disappeared. Bramble, simply, was a boxer.

And although he is no longer with us, Brame left us with very memorable ring performances. I still remember how I watched the title of Mancini, as I watched Rosario two years later. He fought in a legally great era, but there was more than a quirk and animal snakes that distinguished Bragble. “You know,” said my dad after Bramble lost close to the early 1990s. “The guy is fine.” That’s true. He was also justified. Those of us who saw Bramble do not forget about him.

Rest in peace.

Wilder (43-4-1, 42 KO) is considered one of the most terrifying puncakers of the weight division.

His trilogy championship with Tyson Fury was unforgettable; Despite 0-2-1, Wilder summed up fury twice in each of the first and third meetings. In the second duel Wilder was detained in round 7.

Now Wilder will want to win his first win from October 2022 (KO in the first round of Robert Helenius) with this fight with Herndon, a 37-year-old journeyal from San Antonio with a record 24-5 (from 15 KO).

Herndon has won three fights since the loss of TKO in the second round with the invincible Olympic silver medalist Richard Torrez in October 2023. The last fight of Herndon was a six -shaped fraction in May 2024.

“It is Wilder’s legacy, overloaded, is still one of the most tough boxing puncher,” said Chasse. “He is on the road to becoming a heavyweight champion, and this is the first step.”

It is doubtful whether Bivol (24-1, 12 KO) will agree to fight Benavidez, because the organizers of the Riyadh season are interested in the match of the trilogy with Artur Beterbav Next.

April 8 date

Fans prefer to see how Benvidez got a chance to fight Bivol, not a third straight fight with Beterbiev. People saw enough two Russian fighters from the previous two fights to find out how the third one will play.

Benavidez (30-0, 24 KO) is a mandatory WBC for the Bivol belt, and the sanctioning body has already ordered the fight. The date before the offer of the handbag is April 8. Bivol will have to leave his WBC belt if he decides not to fight Benavidez because the fight has already been ordered.

“At the moment we are trying to negotiate the fight. It can be work in September, but we do not know. Everything in boxing is not 100%,” said David Benavidez Boxing DAZN About the start between him and the undisputed heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol. “We will try to negotiate the fight. If this does not happen, this will not happen, but that’s what we will do.”

No steps

Promoter Benavidez, Sampson Lewkowicz, said last Saturday evening that he was not interested in moving to the side to go through Bivol and Beerbiev to fight the trilogy match. “Mexican monster” by Benavidez has already launched Canelo Alvarez in Super Middle weight, when he was mandatory for his WBC belt and he never had the opportunity to fight him.

No wonder Benavidez is tired of this experience and does not intend to fight him after the trilogy match. If Artur Beterbiev wins the third fight, he could retire and disperse all belts or leave the WBC belt. This means that Benavidez wasted his time while waiting for the trilogy.
