The Tragedy of Billy Collins Jr.

Phil D. Jay WBN Editor  Collins after the fight Williams Ray Collins Jr. or Billy Collins Jr. as he became known, was born to a boxing father in Antioch, Tennessee in 1961. His father William Sr, once fought Welterweight Champion Curtis Cokes and wanted his boy to follow in his footsteps, so decided to train Billy himself. Collins Jr. turned pro in 1981, a welterweight, just like his father before him and impressively won his first 14 professional contests, 11 by knockout with eight inside the first three rounds. It was 1983 and Billy was matched up against Puerto Rican journeyman Luis Resto on the undercard of Roberto Duran v Davey Moore at Madison Square Garden in a ten rounder. Resto wasn’t known for his punching power but Billy took a sustained beating for the full ten rounds, his face, badly damaged and his eyes were almost shut. After the fight, which Resto won on decision, Billy’s father shook Resto’s hand and noticed there wasn’t much padding in his gl...

Rico Ramos captures world super- bantamweight title with KO

Phil D. Jay WBN Editor ‘Suavecito’ scores 20th straight win over Shimoda Undefeated Californian Rico Ramos produced a world-class left hand in the seventh round of his WBA title challenge against Japan’s Akifumi Shimoda to rip the belt away from the older southpaw in his first defence. The 24 year-old looked far from a world champion in the first five rounds, only gaining a foothold in the fight in round six, but ultimately produced the equalizer in the seventh to take the crown. Shimoda, 26, will be furious with himself as he bossed the majority of the fight and was up five rounds to one on my card going into the seventh round. One lapse in concentration with only thirty seconds left in round seven and Shimoda hit the canvas. The champion tried to get up at the count of nine, but stumbled over and the referee counted him out. The now former champion stayed down for a full minute before being helped to his feet and realising he no longer held the WBA belt. Also on the card i...

WBN Legends: John Conteh

Phil D. Jay WBN Editor John Conteh was born and raised on the tough streets in Kirkby, Liverpool in 1951, he first walked into the Kirkby Club at the age of 10 and was hooked from day one. After over 50 amateur fights and winning National Titles at Middleweight and Light-Heavyweight, John aged 19, travelled to Edinburgh, Scotland for the 1970 Commonwealth Games and duly came home with the middleweight gold medal after beating Titus Simba in the final. After a successful amateur career, John turned pro in an eight-rounder against Frenchman Okacha Boubekeur and knocked the little known 27 year-old out in a blistering first round. Nine more knockout wins followed either side of one solitary points victory against Tony Burwell in Nottingham, five of which were in the first two rounds. John then took his impressive record into a match-up with American Eddie Duncan (5-1-1) in September 1972 and despite dominating the “The Big E”, Conteh lost by ¼ of a point in a contentious ups...
