Sensational 1stround KO win for Kimbo Slice Results from Nebraska
GRAND ISLAND, NE – Electrifying heavyweight Kimbo Slice, aka Kevin Ferguson, needed only 1:52 to register a phenomenal knockout of Tay Bledsoe in tonight’s main event on the “Rumble In The Heartland” card, presented by Gary Shaw Productions and Legacy Communications, at Heartland Events Center in Grand Island, Nebraska.
Slice (2-0, 2 KOs), who is co-promoted by Gary Shaw and Tony Holden, continued to show improvement in the ring with world-class trainer John David Jackson in his corner. The former Internet combat fighting sensation came out fast and ended the night with a powerful, one-punch overhand right, stopping Bledsoe who remained motionless for several minutes. Slice’s first pro fight lasted only 17 seconds.
Washington D.C. heavyweight Maurice Byarm scored three knockdowns in the opening round, finishing veteran Clinton Boldrige in the first round (1:14) to remain unbeaten, while middleweight Abel Perry (16-5, 7 KOs) battled his way to a unanimous decision victory against Patrick Thompson (17-17-1, 7 KOs).

“BELIEVE IT OR NOT: HOPKINS VS. DAWSON” FINAL PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES
BERNARD HOPKINS, WBC & Ring Magazine Light Heavyweight World Champion
“I would like to say it is good to be back in Los Angeles. I made history here years back with Howard Eastman in the middleweight division with my 20th title defense. I am excited to be back making history.
“I didn’t know Dewey Bozella from a can of paint, but I heard his story and then I did my own research. I saw this wasn’t a charity case.
“Dewey and I understand what that dark place means. Whether you committed the crime or you have been accused of something you didn’t do. The place is still going to be the same when you get there.
“That is where I go when I get ready for war. You try to figure out what my secret is. I systematically calculate and go back to a place that is very dark. I go back to that place without putting myself in a position where I won’t lose my freedom.

BERNARD HOPKINS WORKOUT QUOTES
Oct 12th
BERNARD HOPKINS, WBC & Ring Magazine Light Heavyweight World Champion – “I might have little in my favor, but I will win on Saturday night.”
“Being 46 and sexy with the body of a 25-year-old? I think that is pretty impressive.
“I can predict I will win this fight. How I win will come out this Saturday night.
“I want the best Chad Dawson on Saturday night.
“He has to come out in character and not be the Dawson that he has been for many of his fights. The name doesn’t match the last three or four outcomes. When you have the name ‘Bad’ and you’re not Michael Jackson, you have to be able to own that. They call me ‘The Executioner’ for a reason.
“I have no problem putting the title on the line. This is what I do.
“I don’t know if Dawson is hungry. He says he is.
“The past is the past and tomorrow is unknown. On Saturday night, I want to put another page in the history book of my career.
“If I am still going to compete and be the best in the division, and part of the conversation of the best in boxing, then this fight is the next step.
“Every now and then an athlete comes along and does something different than those before him or her. It takes guts to be different.
“I don’t go into camp needing to lose 20-30 pounds. I don’t need to get into physical shape. I am a health and wellness guy. This is part of my lifestyle. It is automatic to me to be ready to fight. My engine is always running.
“It takes me a round or two until I know exactly what I have to do in a fight. You can’t overstudy a test, so your natural instincts have to be your guide. The great athletes always adjust. I don’t care what sport it is, only an elite athlete can do that.

CHAD DAWSON MEDIA WORKOUT QUOTES
Oct 12th
CHAD DAWSON, ”I will be a problem for Bernard and I think he knows that.”
”We have a great game plan. I don’t see Bernard getting past it.
“I am excited for Saturday night. I have been waiting for this. I am ready to show the world I am still ‘Bad’ Chad Dawson.
“I don’t think this [Hopkins] is more of a challenge than Pascal. Pascal fell into Bernard Hopkins’ game plan. He fell right into it. Everyone knows Pascal is a four-round fighter. I was looking for a knockout victory against Pascal. He didn’t really beat me. I beat myself.
“Pascal is definitely a fight I want after this one. I want to avenge that loss. I want to be the undisputed light heavyweight champion when it is all said and done.
“I don’t want to give too much [of my game plan] away. I need to stay busy and not let Hopkins do what he does when he goes in with the razzle dazzle moves.
“I want to show I have a stiff jab. I want to break Hopkins down. I am going to be smart. I want to be a master boxer. It is about going out and showing your skills.
