Don King’s “Only in America 92nd Celebration” at Casino Miami Jai Alai was nothing short of a boxing bonanza that delivered the kind of knockouts that’ll have you spilling your popcorn!
On Don King’s latest card – yes, Don King, all 92 years of the man – there will be, on November 4 in Miami, an interesting and very possibly explosive heavyweight encounter between Jonathan Guidry, 19-1-2(11) and unbeaten Puerto Rican slugger Jesus Escalera, 18-0(18).
Last night in Miami, on Don King’s latest show (yes, the 91 year old is still going!), likeable, easy to root for heavyweight Jonathan Guidry pounded out a ten round unanimous decision win over faded former WBC heavyweight champ Bermane Stiverne.

WBA ‘regular’ heavyweight champion Trevor Bryan (22-0, 15 KOs) wants to quickly take advantage of his position as the secondary champion by facing Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, or Oleksandr Usyk in his next fight after making his first successful defense against Jonathan Guidry (17-1-2, 10 KOs) last Saturday night.
After sharing 12 rounds in the ring with the almost completely unknown Jonathan Guidry, we still have no idea how good, or how bad, Trevor Bryan really is.
Proving that you can go home again, Hall of Fame boxing promoter Don King returned to his native Buckeye state on Saturday night to host an outstanding slate of championship boxing at the sold-out W.D.
WBC cruiserweight champion Ilunga Makabu (29-2, 25 KOs) used his power advantage to pound out a 12 round split decision over mandatory challenger Thabiso Mchunu (23-6, 13 KOs) on Saturday night in their long-awaited rematch at the W.D.Packard
“Unk…..unk…. There’s no name on it!” So yelled ‘Tuco’ in the final, grave-digging scene in the classic 1966 western to beat all westerns, ‘The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.”
