At one time he was the most prominent heavyweight in the world beside of the deposed Muhammad Ali and streaking Olympic Gold Medalist Joe Frazier. He was the favorite to win the hastily put together WBA elimination tourney that was set up to find a successor to the alleged draft dodger Ali.

When he beat ex-WBA champion Ernie Terrell in the opening round of the tournament he seemed like a shoe in to capture the vacant crown. Where did it all go wrong? Why did fate this talented boxer such a cruel blow? If only Thad Spencer knew what the future held for him.

In a somewhat disappointing ending to what was shaping up to be a one-sided but excellent performance, Vic “The Raging Bull” Darchinyan, 36-3-1 (27), won a technical decision over Yonnhy Perez, 20-2-1 (14), after an accidental clash of heads stopped the contest in round five of a scheduled 12. The bout held at The Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, CA, was the headliner on Showtime following the injury that sidelined fellow Showtime Bantamweight Tournament finalist Joseph Agbeko from his scheduled fight with Abner Mares.

During the early 1980’s it was said that Youngstown’s Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini was a media manufactured prospect. He was a great story line. A young son trying to win a title that evaded his talented father Lenny “Boom Boom” Mancini. Was he the real deal or was he hype?

That was the question when he entered the ring at the Packard Music Hall in Warren, Ohio on July 19, 1981 to meet Mexico’s Jose Luis Ramirez. Ray’s NABF lightweight title he had won just a month before would be on the line. What was really on the line was his reputation. Was he a future champion or a public relations creation? Ramirez was no joke. He would enter the ring with a 71-3 record. On November 14, 1980 he had floored the great Alexis Arguello and ended up losing a very controversial decision. Ramirez was a bonafide contender and was considered a very stern test for the young Mancini.

This is a story that you may say is regrettable. You may say it is sad or that it is a simple oversight. Or you may call it what it is, a travesty! If you look at the credentials of Lupe Pintor it is plain to see that they far exceed those of some that are enshrined in the I.B.H.O.F.

Tonight, the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey and the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada will play host to several intriguing and very exciting fights.

The fight card at the MGM Grand is stacked with marquee names, if not necessarily marquee match ups. The card will see the likes of Erik Morales, Marcos Maidana, Robert Guerrero, Michael Katsidis, James Kirkland, Paulie Malignaggi and Nate Campbell.

In the main event, one of the living legends of Mexican boxing, Erik “El Terrible” Morales, 51-6, 35KOs, will square off against the highly entertaining and always dangerous Argentine, Marcos “El Chino” Maidana, 29-2, 27 KOs. Despite the outstanding resume and greater experience of Morales, Maidana is the betting favorite, as well he should be. Maidana is in the prime of his career, is seven year Morales’s junior and is coming off perhaps the biggest fight of his career, which, despite being a loss, is a fight in which Maidana looked terrific. As many boxing pundits are saying, this may be a situation where a once great fighter takes one fight too many and pays a price for it.

Apparently, Main Events matchmakers, Russell Peltz and Jolene Mizzone, have had their work cut out for them trying to match up the former Olympic standout. It seems Ali has struck fear in the hearts of most of the local welterwieght boxers. Mizzone said, "It's ridiculous, you would think his first name was Muhammad!" Perez, who in his last fight scored a unanimous decision over Alexis Cintron, says he has no problem taking on Ali.

It saddened me to learn that Hall of Fame boxing trainer and commentator, Gil Clancy, passed away this morning. Gil worked with Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, George Foreman as well as Gerry Cooney in his bout with Foreman. He was the first and only trainer of Emile Griffith, and led him to win both the welterweight and middleweight championships of the world. He was a class act and an asset to the great sport of boxing. He will surely be missed. May he rest in peace.
