Mason Menard (25-1, 18 KOs) is probably not
feeling that luck is on his side recently,
as several factors have prevented him from
making the second defense of his title.
|
|
|
|
|
A former UBO All-America Champion, Menard won the
World title in August 2011 with an impressive
fourth round stoppage of Ghanaian Joseph Laryea.
|
|
|
He made his first, and so far only, defense in
June 2012 with another good performance, when he
scored a unanimous decision over Lonnie Smith.
Since then a few possible dates for defenses
didn’t come off, but a June 28 defense against
David Torres was signed and sealed only for Torres
to pull out at late notice and leave Menard
without a qualified challenger. Instead he fought
a non-title bout on that card, stopping DeShaun
Williams in five rounds, and his title defense was
postponed to August 24.
|

|
|
David Torres then pulled out of the August 24
fight, and tough USA-based Mongolian Bayan
Jargal (17-4-3, 11 KOs) was signed as the
substitute. Not long after, promoters BoxnCar
Promotions was informed that the venue they
believed they had a firm deal with had
double-booked, and forced the promotion to find
a new home.
Unfortunately, and not for a lack of trying,
BoxnCar had to give up on this mission this
week, and have now officially postponed the
title defense for a date to be determined in the
near future, probably in October.
