Training in the the Gym “Le champion” in Montreal, Quebec, Yves Ulysses Jr had already proved he was a promising star in the boxing world with his dedication to the sweet science, fast hand speed and movements. Now boxing in the amateur ranks, Yves will have to decide between the London Olympics or becoming a professional prize fighter. Either way, boxing fans will be thrilled to see him in action.
The Boxing Examiner : How did you become interested in boxing?
Yves Ulysses Jr: It really was seeing Floyd Mayweather Jr in action. This guy is unbelievable in the ring. Especially when he fought Oscar De La Hoya in 2007. Those are two artists of the game. More so, they fought for millions of dollars. So I told myself, I would like to do that. Boxing is wonderful, sometimes it can be a war, but you have to play a chess match to win that war. When I first entered the gym at eighteen years of age, I said : I want to become a world champion. I soon learned that boxing was a world of sacrifices and hard work. Read More

Marcel “Little Magic” Maillet (0-2-0) of Moncton’s Last Round Boxer won his four round, middleweight bout over Ryan Burgess (debut) of Truro, Nova Scotia, at the Halifax Forum Multi-Purpose Centre Saturday night via a unanimous decision. The event was hosted by Caveman Promotions. Maillet fought relentlessly against a game opponent, landing frequently throughout the fight. Burgess was in trouble on several occasions – in three of the four rounds – in what was likely the fight of the night. The judges scored the fight 40-36, 40-36, 39-37.
“Stormin” Norman Peters (1-7-0) of Last Round Boxer lost by second round knockout to Stephane Landry (1-1-0) of Quebec via Halifax, in a cruiserweight match-up. Peters took the early lead, out boxing the rugged Landry in the first round with an effective left jab and some strong combinations, which dazed Landry. Peters took command again early in round two and it appeared Landry was headed for defeat. Several punches found their mark on the back of Peters head in close quarters before he took a tremendous right cross and was unable to beat the count. Read More
