Diego Chaves: I'm Knocking Keith Thurman Out in Ten!
*
By Nicolas Samuilov, notifight.com
Undefeated Diego "La Joya" Chaves, the interim welterweight champion of the World Boxing Association (WBA), is very confident as the days get closer to his fight with Keith "One Time" Thurman on Saturday July 27th at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas. The fight*will be televised live on Showtime for the U.S. and TYC Sports for Argentina and much of Latin America. Chaves (22-0, 18 KOs)*has no intention of letting his*unbeaten run*stop, and he feels*a knockout of Thurman (20-0, 18 KOs) is very possible.
"It's going to*end in the tenth, he's going to fall," Chaves told BoxingScene.com/NotiFight.com. "We know we have a tough fight, but*nothing that's*impossible. We saw the last five fights of*Thurman. He has power. But he*has that power*for a*pace for three or four rounds. The key will be boxing, hitting and not letting him land anything big during those first four rounds, and then we'll start working more because his speed and power decreases as the fight plays out. The idea is to win the first three or four rounds, and then apply more pressure starting in the fifth when his power starts to go down."
"Thurman is not accustomed to*fighting*while going backwards*or*getting hit. And I'll be the first opponent in his twenty to hit him. After the first four initial rounds, I repeat we are going to apply more pressure and hit him more. When I let my hands go, I will*hurt him. And I have great faith and confidence that*I will get the knockout in the tenth."

Sounds like a dope fight.
Frankie Gomez pulled out of his fight with Chop Chop by the way.
Junior welterweight prospect Frankie Gomez (15-0, 11 KOs), who is just 21, was scheduled to face former titleholder (and now division gatekeeper) DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley (39-20-1, 23 KOs) of Washington, D.C., on Saturday (FSN/Fox Deportes) at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, Calif.
However, Gomez suffered a deep bruise in his left knee and will be sidelined for a month, Golden Boy matchmaker Eric Gomez told ESPN.com.
"He can begin sparring right after that," said Gomez, who is not related to the fighter.
Eric Gomez said he hopes to reschedule the fight with Corley, who would be the most notable opponent so far for the prospect and former amateur standout.
The original co-feature of junior featherweight prospect Randy Caballero (18-0, 10 KOs) against Puerto Rico's Miguel Robles (12-2-2, 5 KOs) has been moved up to the main event. Caballero was the draw of the card in the first place. He is from Coachella, Calif., and the crowd favorite at Fantasy Springs, where he has fought 11 of his 18 professional fights.

Ya, total BS.
Scott was fine. Just taking a knee. I guess he could have started to get up at 8, but what's the difference? Start getting up at 9. He was obviously OK.

Damn, Japanese girl tried to remove padding from her gloved against Juarez last week
Fighter Removed Padding from Gloves Prior to Championship Bout, Says WBC Official
By Paul Magno | Yahoo! Contributor Network*–*6 hours ago
COMMENTARY | Tragedy in a boxing ring was possibly averted last Saturday, but few in the U.S. media have cared to report on it. Blame this on the incident taking place in Mexico or blame it on the fact that it happened in a female boxing match, but whatever the case, hardly anyone knows about something that could've ended the life of a world class fighter on live TV.
Last Saturday, July 13, at the Centro de Convenciones in Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico, Japanese super flyweight, Riyo Togo, was allegedly found to be wearing doctored gloves prior to her bout with Mexico's Mariana Juarez.
The contest, for Togo's WBC international super flyweight female title, was a rematch of a brutal TKO 1 win for Togo to claim the vacant belt just about three months earlier in Mexico City. At the time, the brutal stoppage victory was thought to perhaps close the chapter on Juarez's status as a world class fighter and top world title contender.
The rematch, however, would reveal something that might explain the abrupt, brutal destruction of a prime fighter normally known to be a durable battler and who hadn't been stopped since 2005.
Prior to the bout, members of Team Juarez inspected Togo's gloves and found that the padding had been removed from the front part and that the fighter's knuckles and hand wraps were pressed directly against the leather of the glove. They brought this to the attention of WBC supervisor Dr. Lorenzo Soberanes , who then took action.
"Togo's team," said Dr. Soberanes, "had moved aside the padding from the front part of the glove to attain more punching force. The knuckles were protected by just the hand wrap and skin."
The gloves of both fighters were then seized and taken to the WBC's headquarters in Mexico City for examination before the sanctioning body makes an official decision as to possible punishment.
"I didn't expect that," Juarez told ESTO on Thursday. "After finding out that they had seized the gloves last Saturday, it made me question whether she fought like that when she knocked me out in one round at the Arena Mexico. On that occasion, I felt that her punches were very hard and, look, I can take a punch and I've fought against some very heavy punchers.
"Before each fight, people from my camp check the wraps of my opponent. It's a regulation that a person from the opposite team can be present when a fighter's hands are being wrapped. On that occasion [The fight in Mexico City], the wraps were fine, but it didn't occur to anybody to check the gloves.
The representative of the WBC, Dr. Lorenzo Soberanes seized Togo's gloves as well as mine and gave us new ones. This time, even though she landed hard several times, it didn't hurt me like it did when she beat me that last time."
The incident in Mexico last weekend is eerily similar to the controversial 1983 Resto-Collins fight, which saw light-hitting Luis Resto bludgeon 22-year-old prospect "Irish" Billy Collins over the course of a ten round unanimous decision victory with similarly doctored gloves.
Collins, who suffered two swollen-shut eyes, a torn iris, and permanently damaged vision, would have his career ended in the scandalous fight. Resto, along with trainer Panama Lewis, would be sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison and receive a lifetime ban from the sport.
Collins, despondent over the loss of his livelihood, drifted into a deep depression and then alcoholism. Less than one year after the bout with Resto, he died in a car crash that many in his own family feel was actually a suicide.

wth man???? ^^^^^^^^^ Boxing seriously needs to re-vamp their procedures on pre-fight routines. The gloves, wraps, and tape should come directly from the commission after being inspected, in a sealed container and be opened only by someone from the commission. That is unacceptable.
