Henry "Sugar Poo" Buchanan's quest to gain elite status among rising super middleweight prospects ended last night in Santa Ynez, CA.
The Capitol Heights, MD native was outclassed by Jean Paul Mendy of France and lost a non-competitive 10-round unanimous decision in front of a nationally televised ShoBox audience. It was Buchanan's first pro loss.
The bout was Buchanan's first against a southpaw and it showed, badly. Quite frankly, Buchanan looked ill-prepared for the bout. There were rumors that Buchanan and trainer Junious Hinton weren't always on the same page in training for this bout.
Whatever the problem was, the only positive things that can be said about this bout are these:
1. Buchanan continues to show a good chin, which he's shown throughout his young career.
2. Buchanan has a YOUNG career. He's just 14-1, 11 KO's and just 28. He still has time.
No surprise here. Another local fighter that is a bust. Poo showed nothing at all. The Peterson Brothers are it and they do have the goods.
ReplyDeleteWhy was Midendorfous there? I know, to rip off some more fighters right? Hey Poo, watch your money.
Poo
ReplyDeleteshould bounce back if he can get his self refocused
Sugar Poo looked nothing like the Sugar Poo who has been roughing up the Peterson brothers lately. I watched him just last week giving Lamont and Anthony fits sparring in the gym. It must be true that Hinton and Sugar are getting a divorce. He will most likely call it quits after that performance last night. Too bad he is unable to return to the amatures. He was exciting back then, even though he lost a lot. I do wish him the best of luck in whatever he decides to do. Hinton, Janks Morton split exactly 3,850 dollars for the work they put in. I think they now regrett going out there in the first place. Janks Morton had to pay for a seperate room wich I thank is totally unfair, but thats boxing... Sugar asked for a rematch early this morninmg, but we all know that will never happen.
ReplyDeleteHey Mike, I too heard about the money sititation. I think Hinton deserved much more. He did put many hours in with this guy even knowing he never had a snowballs chane.
ReplyDeletePoo,
ReplyDeleteScrew all them comments. At this point, you know where you need to be,....., back home. Remember that tall dood you fought at Michael's. Who got you prepared for that long jab? Yo, I wouldn't even have a desire to fight a tall southpaw unless I had 'you know who' to get me prepared. How you 'goin leave home and let somebody get you a loss, and then have them complain about money? You still 'whats up',......, on St. Barnabas Rd. though. Make sure you read carefully, and come home to the only trainer to defeat Emanuel Steward in a heavyweight championship fight. What happened to the 'Bolo'? What about hook body, then head? What about 'cake-walking'. Yo, you're a smart guy. The writing is on the wall. Speaking of the only trainer to defeat Emanuel Steward in a championship fight,....,
Hasim,
Whats 'goin on, man? 'Wit Thell Torrence you got the belt, but did you win it in the ring? Did you even win your defense? You got all the tools, except the tool which was the man who had you punching like a 'mule-kick'. Yo,...., there was one fight where you did everything correct. Remember the Frankie Swindell fight? You did everything correctly, so I've been told by the 'most reliable source'. Remember you got up from a knock-down against Corey Sandermuch better face for the lack of production over the past two days.
Poo should come home to where he belongs. Poo, how you 'goin go away from home and let somebody put you in with a big southpaw? When you encountered whatever problems you were encountering in training, you should have asked to come home. You 'betta ask can you come home and get whats yours,......, riding, cake-walk, HOOK BODY-THEN HEAD, and last but not least: BOLO. I guess you lost that since you left home, 'cause I a'int see none of that in your fight. The bolo was a guarantee against that long boy.
ReplyDeletePoo should come home, and so should Hasim. There is tons of opportunity for them both. Hasim has 'gotta know he needs to be home 'cause push come to shove Emanuel Steward 'goin choose Vladimir before he chooses Hasim. Hasim should realize that the only man to train a fighter that defeated Emanuel Steward in a championship fight was Adrian Davis, and WILL do it again,.........,Hasim. When you fought Ruiz, you weren't getting proper instruction from the corner. Peep the tape again. Your man had to come home based on dealings 'wit 'dem doods. All of them stick together, for Detroit. Come holla at 'dat B'more-D.C. connect.
ReplyDeleteIn continuation, since my initial comment was written through. Hasim, remember when you lost to Maskaev the first time, and what all the nay-sayers were reporting about you. Now we've come full circle, almost de-ja-vu, cause you've lost to Maskaev again. Who fixed you the first time? Who WILL fix you the 2nd time? Not only did you win an alphabet 'trinket' (as you like to call them), but you were the undisputed Heavyweight Champ. You ko'd who was considered the top heavyweight in the world. You understand countering. Emanuel Steward countered in your 2nd fight with Lennox, but he only countered based on technical flaws which were to be corrected. Who got you on this 'comeback trail' at Michael's, and in Dover, Delaware? Everybody's been feeding you the crap about you were trained wrong because you had your hands out. At this point, you should understand that the right hand is used as your defense. It blocks the jab, the right hand, and the hook. From that, you can counter, especially that round house you got caught with. All them Detroit guys want to do is examine you further, and try to make more money off of you. Follow the truth, by utilizing your mind with spirituality. You should be thinking very clearly, especially with you praying heavily this month. The 'Doc' is only a phone call away. You already know.
ReplyDeleteHey Poo and Hasim,
ReplyDeleteCome back home so I can sell your hand wraps, jockstrap, glove, mouthpiece, shoes, spit in the bucket and anything else like I used to do when I worked Sugar Ray Leonard. I will give you 3% of anything I steal and sell that was yours.
Juice Gatling
There was virtually no doubt in my mind that Hanshaw & Mendy were the true class of this tournament. Should be an interesting one between those two.
ReplyDeleteI have been b mores finest boxer for over a decade now, therefore, this is my name. if you have a problem with it, we can fight for it. You better ask somebody!!!!
ReplyDeleteFurthermore, I will not put up with your ghetto cursing, I will stick my foot directly up your rectum the next time you curse at me boy. I also know that is you calling my work and hanging up on my sister doing the daytime. You better stop play your childish games with me boy. I will have your retarded @$% thrown out of the next show here...
You said he roughed up the brother's he's 30lbs heavier than both of them POO is another who step up in class and you seen what happen.He's think he is a world champ already that's why he got his but kick'he's to COCKY.And corner was terrible the third round did you see they didn't tell him nothing.Who is crying for POO to come home where to round 1 where they was going to testify against him. A D should you people he don't have it anymore and Duke is still stealing money. Get off DUKE SUGAR POO got exsposed by a guy who really couldn't fight.He better be lucky he didn't fight Henshaw.
ReplyDeleteI'm the real B more finest you want see me bring it on.You said you where going to what to me.You are a clown.Make it happen and tell your sister I said I love her.
ReplyDeletePeople on the blog it's 2 b more finest. All man Henry Jones you got to fight both of them.Will the real b more finest stand up.Who cares about either one of you one of your was talking crazy the last couple of week's.Somebody gave B more a bad name talking like a fool
ReplyDeleteAt least Buchanan fought well enough in his career to be undefeated after fourteen fights and get two shots on Showtime. So all of you who wish to criticize the man should give him credit for training hard and fighting. He showed heart and went the distance with a very tough guy in Mendy, and with only that one loss on his record, if he stays in the gym he will get another shot.
ReplyDeleteAnd, as everybody in the semi-final round of the tournament received $25000., nobody got ripped off, as that is close to the most anyone has ever been paid on ShoBox.
Hey Chris why not put together a lightweight tournament
ReplyDeletePlease do not use my name anymore. I am the true Baltimores finest and you can ask anyone who knows me about that. Another thing my sister is now living in Hartford and after seeing you with fever blisters in August she said she would nebver have anything to do with you ever again. I am now training for a fight in New Haven Conn. I will sell you a ticket if you like to witness a real fighter. Call me on my cell CHUMP.
ReplyDeleteMidendorfus how much of that 25,000 did you steal from Poo?
ReplyDeleteDigital,
ReplyDeleteI think you're being forced to implement some managemnt control on these posts. Just some feedback.
Daryl
I entirely agree Darryl. It's gotten a bit out of hand. I'm not sure exactly what Gary can do though...
