• On August 18 at the Doubletree Miamimart Hotel in Miami, Florida, UBO International Lightweight Champion Rances “Kid Blast” Barthelemy (16-0, 11 KOs) squares off with rugged Mexican Alejandro Rodriguez (14-6, 7 KOs) over eight rounds.

At only 24 years of age, Rodriguez is used to facing all comers, and his losses were to excellent opposition: Andrey Klimov (13-0), Jose Roman (12-0), Mickey Bey Jr. (16-0-1), John Molina (21-1), Eloy Perez (20-0-2) and Jose Mendoza (4-0).
 

• All-America Middleweight Champion Tony “Mo Better” Jeter (13-3-1, 9 KOs) will be returning to action on September 22 at Club One Fitness in Millersville, Maryland. No opponent announced yet.

Jeter won the UBO All-America title in his last outing, this past February, when he scored a Unanimous decision over Jose Felix who had beaten him in his previous bout.

• Congratulations to UBO Inter-Continental Cruiserweight Champion Roy Jones Jr. (56-8, 40 KOs) on his fine victory in Poland on June 30.

Jones, a former Middleweight, Super Middleweight, Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight World Champion, won on points over undefeated local hero Pawel Glazewski (17-0).

• UBO World Bantamweight Champion Fernando Lumacad (26-4-3, 11 KOs) got a raw deal on July 14 when he lost a disputed majority decision after ten rounds of a non-title bout at Super Flyweight against reigning WBA World Flyweight Champion Hernan “Tyson” Marquez (33-2, 25 KOs) in Mexico.

The judges scored the fight 95-95, 94-96 and 94-97, but many ringsiders felt Lumacad, who won his UBO World title in April in Hong Kong, deserved the victory.
