Corbin established his superiority from the get-go, as Valenzuela, seemed to have no real answer. The fight was waived off into the second round as the ref determined that Valenzuela was taking too much punishment for his own good.

By Chris Robinson

After speaking with IBF junior middleweight champion and Las Vegas native Ishe “Sugar Shay” Smith moments ago, I’ve been advised that his scheduled July 19th clash against challenger Carlos Molina will have to be postponed due to a severe cut that Smith suffered during sparring earlier today.

Smith-Molina was set to take place at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas as the main event of a Showtime-televised tripleheader.

This is certainly heartbreaking news for the 34-year old Smith, who won his belt on February 23rd in Detroit by outpointing then-champion Cornelius “K9” Bundrage over twelve rounds.

Smith’s spirits were high heading into the Molina fight and he had been getting great work from sparring partners Luis ‘Cuba’ Arias and DonYil Livingston at the Mayweather Boxing Club.

New music: Rodney Hazard – ‘Lately’ (produced by: HZRDS RSNS)

listen..hazard lately

More new music from Rodney Hazard with his track “Lately”. Read the description below.

“Lately is a story about looking for love in a world that is inherently corrupt. In this drama, the story revolves around Rodney Hazard- a hero who is more flawed and morally questionable than the norm. He flows effortlessly over the HZRDS RSNS production as an alienated man, filled with existential bitterness.”
