A look back at the "Russian Concussion" ...

....and more importantly a look forward to this Fridays June 20th, 2014  Pro Boxing debut of Samuel Horowitz AKA the "Russian Concussion" or as I like to call him the " Bear Jew" at the Bobby Hitz's Boxing at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana. 

May I introduce the Bear Jew ..  ( 3 minute clip of a great scene form the Inglorious Basterd's) 

Below slideshow is a collection of some of my favorites images of  the "Russian Concussion's "  journey to this Friday night debut ....Lets support our rising stars , don't miss it , tickets are still available ...

Cheers,      Tomba 

Second part of a three part series for the Month of May..

Few days back , it was watching Junior Wright prepare at the Chicago Fight Club Gym  ...On Wednesday , I was fortunate enough to be able to watch Donovan "da bomb" George prepare for his upcoming match in Cartagena, Columbia for the IBO Super Middleweight Title at the Sam Colonna Boxing Gym located at 2600 W. 35th Street in Chicago, Illinois.

Donovan George (Age 29 ..25 W- 4 lost in 134 rounds boxed)  will fight for the vacant IBO title against Alexander Brand (Age 37 ...22 W -1 Lost in 134 rounds boxed ) on May 17th, 2014.  Needless to say Donovan will not exactly be the "hometown" favorite Polideportivo, Arjona, Columbia but I can tell you this ...He looks leaner ...faster ..and more ready then I have ever seen him .....If there's any doubts , Check out the pic's ..

 

Expect to see  the below in Columbia on May 17th ... 

Next in this series of Chicago Fighters fighting on the "World Stage " in May of 2014 will be Andrzej Fonfara vs Adonis Stevenson on May 24th in Bell Centre Montreal ...

Cheers....Tomba
