BJ Penn retires a legend

The referee called an end to the fight, but instead of cheers for the victor there was an eerie silence hanging over the crowd. No one wanted to be the first to applaud. Frankie Edgar did not celebrate by running around the cage or climbing to the top and pointing furiously into the audience. Instead he held his arms up for only a second and walked over to check on his defeated opponent. A legend of the sport had just fallen and the way he had fallen is what turned the crowd so solemn.
B.J. Penn returned to the UFC on July 6th for the rubber match against the first Lightweight to beat him in 8 years, Frankie Edgar. As the 10-1 underdog Penn was never expected to come close to winning, but no one expected the beat down that would ensue. Edgar handily beat Penn through two rounds and finished him in the third by raining elbows down on Penn’s head.

PHOTOS from the 28th Annual Anderson Family Reunion
Hey everyone it was great to see you all again. There’s nothing like being around people who you know really love you and accept you for who you are.
Here are some photos from the 3 days here. I uploaded them to a private page on my website that can only be viewed on here.
If anyone wants to save any of these pictures, just click on the photo and then click ‘Save As’ or let me know and I will personally email you the photo.
It’s easier for me to put all the photos on here instead of sending the photos individually to everyone.
Love you all and see you next year.

On Saturday night, WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin stopped former titlist Daniel Geale inside of three rounds in front of over 8,572 partisans inside of Madison Square Garden.
Following the match, Golovkin (30-0, 27 KO’s) expressed an urgency to unify the belts at 160 pounds.
“My focus is at 160 right now,” Golovkin stated. “I want a unification fight. For me, it’s very important, who’s the best in the middleweight division? Who are the champions right now? A lot of champions. Miguel Cotto, Peter Quillin, Sam Soliman. I’m ready for everybody.”
Of the aforementioned trio, it is Cotto who stands out most to the Kazakhstan native.
“Miguel Cotto,” said Golovkin. “100%, I respect him, I respect his style. This is the biggest fight for everybody. For TV, for my fans, for everybody. For boxing.”

Moments ago, inside of Madison Square in New York, heavyweight contender Bryant Jennings (19-0, 10 KO’s) pulled out a split-decision over Cuba’s Mike Perez (20-1-1, 12 KO’s) to inch closer to his goal of a world title.
The fight was relatively uneventful, with referee Harvey Dock ultimately playing a huge role in the outcome of the match by deducting a point from Perez in the final round for pushing Jennings’ head south. Scores of 115-112 and 114-113 were read in Jennings’ favor, overriding the 114-113 tally for Perez.
Stay tuned for more updates.

Joseph Elegele: ‘I’m a better fighter than these guys that are getting airtime’

By Chris Robinson
It’s been well over a year since welterweight prospect Joseph Elegele’s last match.
Facing off with Javier Molina inside of The Hangar in Costa Mesa, Calif. in March of 2013, Elegele dropped a competitive unanimous decision after eight rounds of action.
Scores reading 78-72 and 77-75 twice may have told the tale of a good scrap, but the tallies did little to showcase just how disappointing of an evening that was for Elegele.
The following months have certainly been a test of the Melbourne, Fl. native’s resolve and Elegele admits that sometimes his belief has wavered.

Earlier tonight from the UIC Pavilion in Chicago, Ill., unbeaten welterweight prospect Semajay Thomas improved to 4-0 with 2 knockouts after overwhelming Charon Spain and scoring a first round TKO victory. Thomas is one of the most gifted prospects you will see and he seems to be carrying a newfound maturity about him these days.
Thomas trains under the tutelage of Ronnie Shields in Houston, Tex. yet still finds time to swing through Las Vegas for some top level work. Check out some of our highlights of Thomas over the past few years below.
