Sulaiman Quits Boxing
President Sulaiman made an impassioned speech justifying his position to have Klitschko be allowed an optional defense in March, then defend against the Solis-Austin winner by June. Sulaiman felt the financial gain from two heavyweight title fights within ninety days would help ease the long standing WBC financial burden stemming from the $30,000,000 judgment against the WBC won by Graciano Rocchigiani. After that judgment in April 2003, the WBC declared bankruptcy, yet has maintained a six-figure monthly payment to Rocchigiani up until 2009, after which the WBC has been unable to make such payments. After an rejected attempt to settle in Germany with representatives of Rocchigiani, Sulaiman has felt the WBC can only go on with either making the payments out of his own pocket, or solicit help from promoters in clearing the aforementioned debt.
After more words amongst involved promoters, Don King, Tom Loeffler and Ahmet Öner, President Sulaiman took the microphone and emotionally abdicated his 35-year presidency to the astonishment of the gathered attendees. He rose from his seat on the dais, declared that he was resigning immediately as president and that the meeting would resume in 90 minutes, at which time the head microphone would be helmed by someone else. Don King then bellowed that he too was finished with boxing, at which time the room emptied. Loeffler, Öner and King accompanied Sulaiman to his suite, in an effort to iron things out and perhaps to encourage the long reigning president to have a change of heart. More to come…

Balance Is So Importance In Boxing

Balance Is So Importance In Boxing
By: Aaron Snowell
In boxing evaluation of any stance in boxing entails looking at three different components: balance, power, and mobility. These components are highly interrelated. For example, maximum balance occurs when the low crouching position is taken. If the position is too low, however, it restricts the ability of the inside muscles of the thigh to move the body, thereby reducing both power (work/time) and mobility.
It is essential that a practitioner of boxing be aware of his stand of support. To do this,, a practitioner needs an intuitive understanding of some basic principles of the center of gravity (COG).
When scientists refer to the COG of an object or of an individual, they are referring to an imaginary reference point around which the object, or the weight of the body, is equally distributed. The COG varies not only from person to person, because of differences in body structure, but also in relation to a boxer body position. Even the slightest movement, such as lifting an arm, alters the COG. Sometimes for instance when one reaches far forward or leans far back the COG actually lies somewhere outside the body.
The stability of a boxing stance is heavily dependent on the location of the COG. Because COG changes must occur at will and almost instantaneously, the stability of the position will change just as quickly. This is an extremely important consideration in delivering a blow. It allows the forces and torques (two or more forces acting in opposite directions at each end of a human body lever) to move the body, hands, and feet with great acceleration. Movement by the torso, with its large, slow muscles, is immediately followed by the turning of the smaller, faster muscles of the arms legs. It is also important that the puncher assume a stable foot-ground position so that the feet can contribute to the force of the blow. Without a strong base of support, the body cannot generate the power necessary to punch with such devastating force. If the puncher jumps up into the air to deliver a blow limits the amount of force.
With lighting-fast reflexes, a boxer can change from a stable stance of support to a unstable stance. This gives him the mobility to avoid a blow from an opponent.
Whether assuming an attacking or defending position, the boxer requires a continually changing base of support from a foot to foot stances. The body is most stable when directly over stance of support, yet considerable movement outside the stance of support is necessary to accomplish many punches. In this way, he is less vulnerable and is ready to execute any countering defensive moves.
The most effective forward punches are those in which the COG stays in the same horizontal plane. With extraneous horizontal movement eliminated, the boxer can take the straightest line to the target. This allows him to get to the target quickly and deliver a blow with the most devastating force.
A telltale sign of the efficiency of a movement is the body position at start and completion. The starting stance initiates the large accelerations necessary to execute the technique: the completion stance attempts to deliver as much body mass as possible. Sometimes the starting and completion stances are very similar (the body hardly moves),
but at other times a large shift of body weight takes place, so the stances at the start and completion of a move are very different. An accomplished boxer shifts from foot to foot that stresses acceleration (change inn velocity/time), as in a quick punch, to one that stresses momentum (mass x velocity), as in the hook punch.

"Pacquiao foundation" linked to smuggling
‘Pacquiao foundation’ linked to smuggling
by Joel E. Zurbano
A syndicate is using the name of boxing icon Manny Pacquiao to smuggle hand-me-down clothes through the Manila South Harbor, Customs officials said on Wednesday.
Its mode of operations was uncovered after Customs officials seized two 40-foot container vans of used clothes, described by the importer as relief goods from the United States. The shipment was consigned to Manny Pacquiao Foundation, said to be a non-government group organized by the boxing icon and now congressman representing Saranggani province.
The so-called Manny Pacquiao Foundation turned out to be fictitious, said Customs Intelligence agent Eric Albano.
The Manny Pacquiao Foundation does not exist, but there’s an Emmanuel Pacquiao Foundation based in the United States, Albano said.
Customs Intelligence director Filomeno Vicencio Jr. ordered the shipment impounded at the Port of Manila’s examination area.
Vicencio said that the two container vans were loaded with used clothing with an estimated value of P5 million. He said that the shipment arrived at the South Harbor last July.
“We are digging deep to find out the real owner of the shipment,” said Vicencio.
The law, Republic Act 4653, prohibits the importation of used clothing.
Customs Commissioner Angelito Alvarez said he favored legalizing the importation of useed clothes, which would generate P700 million a year in revenue.
He said he met with several lawmakers and was pleased with their positive response.
“They said they would keep an open mind. They said that there is a need for a thorough study on the anticipated revenues that we would generate and its impact on the garment or textile industry. But to my knowledge, the garment sector has been weak,” said Alvarez.
He said that the garment industry is a dying industry unlike 10 years ago.
Alvarez said that if the used clothes would be allowed to enter the country, the bureau could impose duties and taxes and earn about P700 million a year. He estimated that 1,000 container vans of used clothes arrive in the country annually.

Boxer training at high altitude
PERFORMANCE
The body's adaptation to high altitude helps significantly but doesn't fully compensate for the lack of oxygen. There is a drop in VO2 max of 2% for every 300 m elevation above 1500 m even after allowing for full acclimatization. I know that this is a difficult concept to believe because so many programs have touted the benefits of high altitude training.To fully appreciate this realize that there aren't any world record times at high altitudes. Think about this a moment. The air density is much lower, thus wind resistance is much lower. Wind resistance is the biggest barrier to speed. If all other factors were equal, then there must be faster times at higher altitudes. Because there aren't, means that something else must have decreased. That something is the engine -- the human engine.
Furthermore, while adaptation to high altitude makes you better at high altitude it hasn't proved useful for making you faster at sea level. There is a lot of mysticism that surrounds the belief of enhanced sea-level performance after altitude training, but the current scientific evidence is lacking. The reason is that some of the adaptive responses at high altitude are actually a hindrance at lower altitude. As more research is done then perhaps a training regimen that shows definitive improvement will emerge. The best advice as of 1994 is that high-altitude training is like "magic shoes" -- If it works for you then wear them.
There is some more recent evidence to suggest that a "train-low, sleep high" approach may confer some advantages. In this scenario, training is carried out at low altitude -- to push anaerobic threshold, and VO2 max --but sleeping is done at high altitude so that the hypoxic stress increases red cell mass. Certainly a creative approach and one which might yield excellent results, because it may give the athlete the "best of both worlds". In a practical sense it may be difficult to construct, but if you are lucky enough to live in a situation that allows this type of training, it is worthy of consideration.

WORKOUT INTENSITY - This will necessarily be lower until adaptation can occur. Pushing your workouts too hard may increase your risk of overtraining or injury. Additionally some people just do not adapt as well as others. There is not one workout program that is appropriate for everyone -- just like at sea level. It is best to keep a log in which you rate fatigue during workout and at rest, morning resting heart rate, weight, and mood. Correlate this with the intensity of your workouts and this will help mold a flexible routine that is right for you.
The longer term changes are
1. a decrease in maximum cardiac output a decreased maximum heart rate
an increased number of red blood cells
2. excretion of base via the kidneys to restore acid-base balance. (Unfortunately, the net result is that you have less tolerance for lactic acid.)
3. a chemical change within red blood cells that makes them more efficient at unloading oxygen to the tissues.
4. an increase in the number of mitochondria and oxidative enzymes

The underlying problem with high altitude (>2000 m) is that there is less oxygen and while this may not be that threatening to individuals at rest it does pose a challenge to athletes. Of course for the pure anaerobic events no adaptation is required so this discussion is necessarily focused on endurance training and competition. In general the higher the altitude the longer it takes to adapt. Understanding the adaptation process and the things that you can do to aid it will make for a less taxing transition. A number of physiologic changes occur to allow for acclimatization at high altitude. These can be divided into immediate, which take place over several days, and long term which requires weeks to a few months.
The first thing that happens is your respiratory rate and heart rates speed up. This occurs both at rest and during sub-max. exercise. This helps offset the lower partial pressure of oxygen. You will not be able to reach your max VO2 so don't get frustrated. The faster breathing rate changes your acid-base balance and this takes a little longer to correct.
PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS FOR ATHLETES
Diet - A high carbohydrate, low salt diet allows for better adaptation and less risk of "mountain sickness". Some people experience significant decline in appetite and the resulting loss of muscle mass may hinder performance. Iron is used to make hemoglobin and the demand for making more red blood cells may require iron supplementation -- especially in women and vegetarians. Megadoses of vitamins are not helpful and are potentially dangerous.
Fluids - Because mountain air is cool and dry you can lose a lot of water so be sure to maintain adequate hydration.
Alcohol - It is best to avoid alcohol consumption during the acclimatization period since it appears to increase the risk of "mountain sickness".

Fluids - Because mountain air is cool and dry you can lose a lot of water so be sure to maintain adequate hydration.
Alcohol - It is best to avoid alcohol consumption during the acclimatization period since it appears to increase the risk of "mountain sickness".
WHAT IS MOUNTAIN SICKNESS ?
Mountain sickness is the name given to a cluster of symptoms that occurs in some individuals after rapid ascent to high altitude. Mild forms of the illness may affect up to 50% of people traveling to altitudes above 14,000 ft. Severe forms of the illness may be life threatening because of pulmonary or cerebral edema.
Symptoms of headache, malaise, and decreased appetite are fairly common amongst individuals traveling to altitudes greater than 8,000 ft -- although this can occur at lower altitudes. The mild forms of mountain sickness can usually be treated with rest, hydration, analgesics (eg. ibuprofen), and alcohol avoidance. If you are already experiencing these symptoms do not go to higher altitudes. There is a medication that can help prevent this illness. Individuals who have already experienced an episode of mountain sickness are at risk for future trips and should seek medical advice.
Severe forms are characterized by severe shortness of breath, cough, severe headache, confusion, or hallucinations. This may progress to coma and death. This is a medical emergency. Immediate descent to lower altitude, administration of oxygen, and medical attention are required.
