"Bos"
wants in on heavyweight mix
LAS VEGAS (May 23, 2007) - Fresh off of his first-round destruction of
veteran Steve "Storm" Pannell (34-13, 28 KOs) last Friday night in
Colorado, Cedric "Bos" Boswell believes he's ready to take on the any of
the world's top heavyweights.
Boswell (24-1, 19 KOs), fighting out of Atlanta, is lucky he doesn't get
paid by the minute. His last two opponents, Pannell (34-11) and Robert
Kooser (9-6), were both put to sleep in the opening round.
"I felt real good," the Sonny Liston-look alike Boswell said about his
performance last Friday night. "Some people out there told me Pannell
would come out strong in the first round. I waited for him to pull the
trigger and when he did, I hit him with a good right. I'm ready to fight
the best heavyweights in the world, including anyone of the four
champions. The heavyweight division is so political that all I can do
now is wait for Silverhawk and my manager, Jim Rider, to tell me who is
next and then get ready. Whether it goes 12 rounds or one, I'll be ready
for the situation."
Bosell's only loss was on October 3, 2003 against world heavyweight
title challenger Jameel McCline (39-3-3) at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
"I was winning the first 9 1/2 rounds but got tired in the last (10th),"
Cedric explained. "I started holding and without a warning they stopped
the fight. He never hit me. I tore my rotator cuff in the fourth round
and beat him with one hand. I tired in the last round and started
holding.
"I've learned a lot from my one loss. I gained valuable experience and
I'm more patient. I'm also doing things in the gym that I didn't do back
then. All around, I'm at the top of my game and I'm ready to fight any
of the top heavyweights."
Also on the undercard of last Friday night's "Rocky Mountain Mayhem:
Return of the Champ show," highlighted by IBA title-winning performances
by lightweight Stevie "Lil' But Bad' Johnston (WDEC12 vs. Humberto
Toledo) and light welterweight Adrian "Juanito" Mora (WTKO1 vs. Marc
Thompson), undefeated Mexican welterweight sensation Salvador "Alexis"
Camacho (15-0, 14 KOs) won his 15th consecutive fight, 14th in a row by
knockout, stopping Rob Adamson (9-2-1, 8 KOs) in the third round.
In the fight of the night, Johnnie Edwards (12-1, 7 KOs) won an exciting
sixth round majority decision (59-57, 59-57, 57-57) against Jaime "Superfly"
Sandoval (14-2, 12 KOs). |
