Seller's Description
This listing is for Don King's Global Glory 2005 Boxing Match Official Program United Center Chicago.
CHICAGO (United Center) – Hasim Rahman, 41-5-1 (33 KOs), Baltimore, 236, won a clear-cut 12 round decision over Monte Barrett, 31-4 (17 KOs), New York, 224, and with it the WBC interim heavyweight title and the right to face titlist Vitali Klitschko. Barrett started on the move with Rahman in tow in the first three rounds. Neither fighter landed hard or often but Rahman edged out his retreating foe. His heavy punches, led by a jolting jab, created a swollen left eye and Barrett moved warily around Rahman. Barrett was simply unable to keep Rahman from his forward march or launch a sustained attack of his own.
Rounds four through nine were virtual carbon copies of each other as Rahman pulled away from the reluctant Barrett. Only one sharp right from Barrett in round eight separated the rounds. Barrett’s eye problem worsened as the fighters entered round ten. He did, however, wing enough punches in a somewhat passive Rahman’s direction to win his first round of the bout. In round eleven, Rahman reestablished full control as Barrett seemingly moved into survival mode, moving and holding. Barrett came out for round twelve determined to make a go of it. Indeed he landed a big right in the last minute of the fight, clearly hurting Rahman, but was unable to close the show.
Scoring of the bout was 116-112, 118-110 and 118-110 for Rahman. The Sweet Science scored the bout 118-110 Rahman.
Hasim Rahman came into the ring with very mixed baggage: a sharp jabbing predator one fight and a fleshy club fighter the next. Since losing a dreadful decision to WBA titlist John Ruiz, he has reeled off five consecutive wins, though against limited opposition. Perhaps more importantly he melted himself down from a hefty 255+ against Al Cole in his series of wins to a svelte and hard 232 against fringe contender Kali Meehan. At his best, Rahman operates behind a punishing and accurate left jab that Sonny Liston would be proud to possess. His weightier version is an ordinary and uninspired mockery of a talented athlete – an athlete who captured the world championship with a thunderous right hand. His propensity for inconsistency also led to a mix of predictions for the fight’s outcome. His primary weakness, even when he is in peak condition, is his chin. It has let him down against David Tua (though in disputed fashion), Oleg Maskaev and Lennox Lewis.
Monte Barrett, a fighter who always appears fit and ready, also carried some baggage of his own. Although he was riding high based on solid wins over fringe contenders Dominick Guinn and Owen Beck, his losses also illuminated some shortcomings. He also fought well while losing against former contender Joe Mesi, but he visited the canvas in that bout against a fighter whose power was not on a par with Rahman. Further, his blowout loss to Wladimir Klitschko showed that his power did not measure up to a big man who could punch with authority and box. He could not punch hard enough to take the big man out of his game and he couldn’t really get past Klitschko’s power. That proved the difference in this fight as well.

Former welterweight world champion Ricardo Mayorga, 27-5-1 (23 KOs), Nicaragua, 154, captured the vacant WBC super-welterweight title with a hard-fought 12 round decision over Michele Piccirillo, 44-2, 1 NC (28 KOs), Italy, 154.
Let’s be clear at the outset, Mayorga, win or lose, had no business being in a title fight in this weight class. He won a single bout in the division before entering the ring against Piccirillo. He lost lost two of his last three bouts including a brutal knockout against Felix “Tito” Trinidad in a middleweight contest his last time out. Former IBF welterweight titlist Piccirillo, a fighter who was very fortunate to capture a hometown decision against Cory Spinks to gain the belt, also did not come into the fight on a high note. His last bout, a six-rounder, included a visit to the canvas against an unknown in Serge Vigne. That said, Mayorga clearly beat a skilled and willing Piccirillo on this night. Scoring two knockdowns in round two and another in round four, Mayorga’s power gave him the edge.
Scored in rounds, this fight was relatively close. Piccirillo popped an effective jab between getting knocked down and getting hit with the bigger shots. Of course the fight was not scored on rounds and the knockdowns widened the scoring considerably. Scoring was 117-110, 117-108 and 120-105 (a score that was way off). The Sweet Science scored the bout 116-110.

Former WBC titlist, 40-year-old Oliver McCall, 45-8 1 NC (32 KOs), Chicago, 235, showed the power that once led him to the top of the heavyweight division by punching out Przemyslaw Saleta, 42-6 (21 KOs), Poland, 247, in the fourth round of a scheduled ten round bout. Saleta started strong working behind a long jab. His punches connected well and he was able to mix right hands in behind the jab throughout the first three rounds. McCall, however, also found a home for his jab and an occasional right. His punch volume was not as high as Saleta’s, but he was unfazed by the bigger man’s punches. In round four he powered an uppercut that hurt Saleta. He followed up as only an experienced veteran could, mixing his full repertoire of hooks and right hands to drop the big man. Saleta made it to his feet at nine but was clearly out of it. Time of the stoppage was 2:40 of round four.

Luis Collazo, 26-1 (12 KOs), New York, 147, worked over a gritty former lightweight titlist, Miguel Angel Gonzalez, 49-5-1 (39 KOs), Mexico, 146½, to retain the less-than-world WBA title as he stopped Gonzalez at the beginning of round eight of the scheduled twelve. (Zab Judah holds the “super” belt due to the fact that he possesses the other sanctioning body belts. What this means in layman’s terms is that this bout triggers a sanctioning fee to be paid to the WBA – and so do any Judah defenses. The so-called title is, therefore worthless. Ringside announcers Barry Tompkins and George Foreman made no mention of the lesser nature of the “title” bout).
Collazo took control from the outset, scoring with sharp combinations from all angles from his southpaw stance. Gonzalez made it a competitive affair in spurts each round but simply couldn’t maintain the pace set by Collazo. Although Gonzalez appeared to actually win the seventh round, he was thoroughly whipped in all other rounds and his gas tank was running dry.
CHICAGO (August 14, 2005) – At the conclusion of Saturday’s “Global Glory … Battle for Pride & Country” – highlighted by Hasim Rahman’s unanimous decision over Monte Barrett for the WBC Interim Heavyweight Title – the fighters on the card had the following things to say.
HASIM “The Rock” RAHMAN
“It was a tough fight in a different way. He (Barrett) had a good game plan. He tried to move around but I was in good shape. I got dinged and Monte is a good puncher.
“I don’t think Klitschko will move around as much as Monte did, but tonight I showed I can go twelve rounds.”
MONTE “Two Gunz” BARRETT
“I only give my self a B for performance, but I think I did enough to win. “It is what it is. I felt like I hurt him a couple of times. He hit me with some good shoots but he never hurt me. When someone is hurt they get panicky. I never panicked.”
RICARDO “El Matador” MAYORGA
“I said I was going to knock him out in one round but I just wanted to put pressure on him and play with his head. As the fight moved on he jumped on his bicycle and he couldn’t compete against me. “I am the best puncher in the world and Piccirillo fought scared all night long. “Now I am the champion and I am very happy. My corner helped me relax after such a long layoff and I knew I had to slow down. All I know is that I was superior and it was good work for me. I needed those rounds. It was like a sparring session. “Before I make a decision for my next opponent I need to drink some water and have a cigarette, but I want Vargas next. I want to be back in the ring in November.”
MICHELE PICCIRILLO
“Two of the three knockdowns came from blows behind my head that diminished me. He is a dirty fighter. They should have taken points away from him for the way he fought.”
OLIVER “The Atomic Bull” McCALL
“This is beautiful, I feel good. I was setting him up for the uppercut all along. I let him get comfortable, I could have been hit by him with it, but I did not want him to start covering up. I finished him off with a right hand. “His jab wasn’t hard. I trained hard for the fight and it paid off. I am in my city with my friends and family and this is a great night for me.”
PRZEMYSLAW “Chemek” SALETA
“Oliver hit me and he can punch. I thought I was doing well and then I got cut. I could have tried to stick and move but I know what people want. They want someone who comes to fight … but I paid the price tonight. “I want everyone in Poland and in Chicago to know that I did the best I could do.”
LUIS COLLAZO
“It was a great fight and I gained a lot of experience fighting someone with Miguel’s experience. They say I can’t punch, but they should ask Miguel that after I just destroyed him. This fight gave me the opportunity to show my talent and that is what I did. “It feels great to have defeated a ring legend but there is a new star and it’s me. It’s my time now and I want to conquer the whole division. I rate my performance tonight as only a B+ and I know I can do better. “I’ll take anyone next. Gatti said he’s coming up, and Mayweather too. I’ll fight anyone who wants to come try to take my belt.”
MIGUEL ANGEL GONZALEZ
“My corner and I decided to stop the fight. Collazo had figured my style and the last rounds would have been the same way. “He has a good boxing style and good rhythm.
“He never hurt me during the fight but he was the busier fighter. “I will take a brake and reconsider the next step in my career. I lost all the hope I had and I have to accept this reality.”
ALEJANDRO “Terra” GARCIA
“I think I broke my left hand in the second round. I injured it in the gym and I even had to re-tape my hand after the first time I put the gloves on tonight. “I had to dig deep down because my lethal weapon, the left punch, was not available tonight. “Messi was in great condition and he was very aggressive. “As soon as my hand heals I will be ready to go after the best in my division.
LUCA MESSI
“I thought I won the fight. He was very strong, but I was the better fighter. “I was very proud of my first performance in America.”
MATT “Boom Boom” ZEGAN
“I was not sure I could knock him down but it came once in the third and twice in the sixth. “I am happy so many people showed up early to see me fight. “Thanks to all my fans in Poland and Chicago.”
