(This is the First Part of a Two-Part interview with legendary Matchmaker Bruce Trampler. A member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame’s Class of 2010 and graduate of Ohio University in Athens, Ohio)
Any casual sports fan can tell you that much about boxing has changed over the past forty years. Championship bouts that were once an arduous fifteen rounds have shrunken to just twelve, the number of weight classes has basically doubled in count, and the label of “champion” – which once belonged to a select few of the world’s most celebrated men – is now shared by as many as four different titlists in any of the seventeen recognized divisions…

In the Ring with Hall of Famer Bruce Trampler: Part I
George Foreman III begins his second year as a professional boxer with a bout Saturday, Jan. 9, at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Wash.
Foreman III, the son of former heavyweight world champion George Foreman, meets Yul Witherspoon in a special attraction, four-round, heavyweight bout.
This will be the 75th “Battle at the Boat” professional boxing card since it was inaugurated by Brian Halquist Productions during 1997.
Foreman III, who goes by the nickname “Monk,” has a record of 4-0 with four knockouts.
“I’m continuing to learn with each fight,” said Foreman III, who had no amateur bouts and turned pro during June of this year.
“I’m working on many areas when I’m in the gym; then I’m applying what I’m learning in my fights,” said Foreman III, who graduated from Rice University in his hometown of Houston.
“We’re just taking it one fight at a time,” said his father.
The 26-year-old Foreman III made his professional debut June 6 in Kinder, La., and knocked out Clyde Weaver during the first round.
The second bout for Foreman III was a second-round technical knockout of George Burrage July 31 in Las Cruces, N.M.
The third fight for Foreman III was a first-round technical knockout of Marvin Ray Jones Sept. 26 in Kinder.
The most recent outing for Foreman III was another first-round technical knockout, this time of Bradley Moss Nov. 14 in Cut Off, La.
The 6-foot-5-inch Foreman III weighed 237 pounds for his first two bouts and 230 1/2 for his past two fights.
Witherspoon, from Eunice, La., has a record of 1-2 with no knockouts.
Also on the card Jan. 9 will be David Torres (21-1, 13 KOs) of Othello, Wash., against Raymundo Beltran (22-4, 14 KOs) of Phoenix in the 10-round super lightweight main event; Walter Wright (13-3, 7 KOs) of Seattle against an opponent to be determined in a six-round super welterweight bout; Francisco Reyes (3-0, 2 KOs) of Seattle against Darren Darby (5-11-3, 2 KOs) of Vancouver, B.C., in a four-round lightweight bout; Mike Gravronski (pro debut) of Tacoma against Darren Azeie (debut) in a four-round super middleweight bout; and Dave Clark (debut) of San Diego against Rob Diezel (debut) in a four-round bantamweight bout.
Tickets for the card Jan. 9, are priced at $30, $60 and $100 and available at the Emerald Queen Casino box office, by calling the box office at 888-831-7655 and at all TicketMaster outlets.
So Mr. Toney wants to give MMA a go. Well Mr. Toney, you are 10 years passed your prime. The only things you do well are talking and eating. Do both sports a favor and stay gone. Boxing and MMA are fine without you.

LOS ANGELES (December 28, 2009) . . . After a Christmas weekend filled with comments and reports related to the potential mega-fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions are issuing the following statement in order to set the record straight.
Let the record be clear: Manny Pacquiao and his promoter Bob Arum are threatening to walk away from the largest fight in history.
The fact is that random blood and urine testing was one of the many deal points and was listed along with the others, such as the financial split, the weight, financial penalty for being overweight, the appointment of the foreign sales agent, the production of the marketing assets, the gloves and many more. Team Mayweather made major concessions in many of these areas and we were optimistic that Team Pacquiao would do the same as it related to the request for random blood and urine testing, which Floyd Mayweather agreed to immediately.
It is disappointing for us to see that the benefits of blood testing and the fact that many different substances and procedures can only be detected by blood testing, are still not fully understood by all.
Their “take it or leave it” approach where blood testing would stop 30 days prior to the fight unless the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) approved differently is another indication that they may not want this fight. Pacquiao’s position (and as stated on his website) is. “The truth is taking blood out of my body does not seem natural to me and mentally I feel it will weaken me if blood is taken from me just days before the fight” or he is “afraid of needles” and does not feel comfortable with blood being taken closer than 30 days before the fight is another interesting point. The fact is that he did have blood taken just 14 days prior to his fight with Ricky Hatton, an event which was documented on HBO’s 24/7 reality show.
Also when told that Pacquiao feels that the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) is an agent of Golden Boy Promotions-which is in and of itself a ridiculous accusation-we moved swiftly and made yet another concession by stating that we would be perfectly fine to retain another agency which would do the random urine and blood tests and jointly agree on a reasonable cutoff prior to the fight but which would still maintain the integrity of the results. Let it be clear that this procedure was declined by Pacquiao as was the proposal to bring in an independent mediator such as Sen. John McCain, a suggestion that was in fact embraced by Bob Arum, but also declined by Manny Pacquiao.
Let it be very clear that nobody from Team Mayweather or Golden Boy Promotions is accusing Pacquiao of anything. But the reality seems to be that for whatever reason Pacquiao does not want to participate in random blood testing, which has already been deemed a harmless procedure that many current athletes are subjected to prior to and during competition.
Team Mayweather and Golden Boy Promotions is still open to the earlier discussions of having both parties work out a mutually agreeable understanding of the testing, which would be conducted by a mutually agreed upon agency.
In closing Floyd Mayweather is one of the most decorated athletes boxing has ever seen and he is anxious to make this fight happen for all of the fans and sports enthusiasts that are asking for this fight to happen too. As you might have noticed Floyd has been silently watching and patiently waiting for the final details of the fight to get worked out. As Floyd has already stated he does not have a problem with the random procedure and will be under the same requirements as Pacquiao, it is simply hard for him to understand why there is reluctance on Pacquiao’s part to agree to do the same.
