Serka mayoria hende  ahinda e memorianan  tin efektonan sikológiko. Esnan ku sigur ta afektá pa e suseso aki ta e famia di e kriatura, ku si e tabata na bida, awe lo tabata un dama di 40 aña.

Pa motibu di rabia i vengansa pa asuntunan familiar, James Murray a disidí pa venga riba loke tabata mas balioso i kerí pa e famia, esta Darly Lai. James a buska Darly for di skol riba e mèrdia di 23 di mei 1979, pretendiendo ku el a bin buska Darly pa su mama, i a bai kuné na un sitio alehá pa aya violá Darly i hink’é ku kuchú algun biaha ku e konsekuensha ku e mucha a bin fayesé.

Loke mas a resaltá tabata ora ku algun aña pasá tabata James mes kende a deklará públikamente lo siguiente: ‘si mi sali, lo mi hasi e mesun kos’.

–       teniendo kuenta ku no tin garantia ku James Murray lo bai ta un persona diferente,

–       teniendo kuenta ku e rabia i emoshonnan ku ta biba den komunidat

–       i finalmente teniendo kuenta ku mester evitá abuzu i asesinato di mas mucha inosente,

Stichting Tegen Kindermishandeling ta hasi un apelashon desente na Korte di Hustisia pa tene èkstra konsiderashon ku un ke otro na momentu di tuma desishonnan.

Ta komprendibel ku pa e persona di James Murray mes ku e lo no tin e trankilidat mas den komunidat, maske ku e rekobrá su libertat, ku un oportunidat mas den bida p’e pro lo pronto lo pinta hopi skur, ku su presensia den kualkier bario lo ta un menasa pa habitantenan i muchanan di e bario i chèns ta grandi ku Murray lo bin top’é ku okashonnan kaminda lo konfront’é ku su akto ku tur e konsekuensha ku esaki lo tin p’e mes i pa otro.

Den kaso ku Korte disidí mes pa duna James Murray su libertat konforme loke lei ta stipulá, Stichting Tegen Kindermishandeling ta supliká pa buska formanan pa protehá e komunidat – en espesial e mucha – i pa hasi tur loke ta na alkanse di Korte pa evitá mas viktima di James.

E suseso di 23 di mei 1979 mester por sirbi pa habri bista di hopi kon doloroso abuzu i violashon di un mucha ta i e konsekuenshanan ku esaki tin pa henter un komunidat. Nos muchanan ta indefenso den hopi kos ku ta pasa ku nan, p’esei segun e fundashon mester sigui traha pa protehá nan.

Darly Lai ta un ehèmpel di esaki. Ku konfiansa el a drenta outo di James sin nunka pensa o imaginá ku awe e no tei mas i esaki ta loke James a hasi kuné. Komo tal Stichting Tegen Kindermishandeling ta supliká e sosten di henter e komunidat tambe pa HUNTU kuné ban lucha pa un komunidat ku menos violensha bou di nos muchanan.

Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero Vs. Selcuk “Mini Tyson”Aydin

LOS ANGELES – The wait is finally over. After an injury-plagued 2011 campaign, Three-Division World Champion Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero will return to the ring on Saturday, July 28 at HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif. to face unbeaten power puncher Selcuk “Mini Tyson” Aydin for the vacant WBC Interim Welterweight World Championship in a fight to be televised live on SHOWTIME.

Tickets, priced at $252, $127, $62, and $26, go on sale on Friday, May 4 at 10:00 a.m. PT and can be purchased online at Ticketmaster.com, charge by phone at (800) 745-3000 and at the HP Pavilion Ticket Office.

Guerrero vs. Aydin, a 12-round fight for the WBC Interim Welterweight World Championship, is presented by Golden Boy Promotions in association with Arena-Box Promotion and sponsored by Corona and AT&T. The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will air live at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast) with co-featured events to be announced and preliminary fights to air live on SHOWTIME EXTREME® at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT

An inspiring young man in and out of the ring, Gilroy, California’s Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (29-1-1, 18 KO’s) has captivated the boxing world ever since his professional debut in 2001, and he is far from finished. In fact, it seems that Guerrero sets the bar higher for himself with each fight, always passing each progressively more difficult test with flying colors. Already a World Champion at 126, 130 and 135 pounds, the 28-year-old Guerrero’s list of conquests includes Joel “Cepillio” Casamayor, Jason Litzau, Vicente Escobedo and Michael Katsidis “The Great.” The 29-year-old southpaw sharpshooter, who is becoming as well known for his charity work outside of the ring as he is for his work inside the ring, will close in on a spot at the top of the pound-for-pound list should he turn back his toughest opponent to date in the hard-hitting brawler Aydin.

Known to his fans around the world as “Mini Tyson” because of his thunderous punching power, 28-year old WBC Silver welterweight titleholder and Trabzon, Turkey native Selcuk Aydin (23-0, 17 KO’s) has also earned that moniker with a ferocious style that has made him one of the most popular fighters in his adopted home country of Germany. Aydin turned professional in 2006 and has cut a swath through the welterweight division, winning all 23 of his fights and knocking out 17 opponents in Mike Tyson-style…in three rounds or less. Among his list of vanquished foes are contenders Said Ouali, Jackson Bonsu and Ionut Dan Ion, but a title capturing win over Guerrero would be his biggest to date, and Aydin is focused on the task at hand, even giving himself a new nickname: “The Ghostbuster.”

Heavyweights Collide for North American Boxing Title live on WealthTV

SAN DIEGO – The latest destination for boxing’s premier live events, is geared up to telecast the NABA heavyweight title bout between BoxRec US ranked No 2 Franklin “Yah-Yah” Lawrence and “Merciless” Mike Mollo, live from Dover Downs Hotel & Casino in Dover, DE.

Lawrence is no stranger to the Dover Downs Hotel & Casino, winning the WBC Caribbean Boxing Federation heavyweight title by defeating Jason Gavern in May of last year. Lawrence is on a streak of five wins as he moves closer to the world title, most recently knocking out Raymond Ochieng in just two rounds from the Harrah’s Casino in Chester, PA.

Mike Mollo, who’s been out of boxing since August of 2010, is eagerly awaiting his return to title contention. Mollo is most notable for defeating Kevin McBride in July of 2006, just after McBride bested the legendary Mike Tyson, sending him into retirement.

Legendary heavyweight champ and Boxing Hall of Fame member Larry Holmes will be joining veteran boxing commentator Mike Mittman to provide insights and color.

“The stage is set for a fantastic evening of heavyweight boxing,” explains Charles Herring, President of Wealth TV. “Both Lawrence and Mollo are top notch fighters eager to prove that they are ready for a world title shot. Combined with the incredible venue of the Dover Downs Hotel & Casino, this is an evening of boxing not to miss.”

“These two proven heavyweights have stellar records and with the NABA heavyweight title on the line, you know these two warriors will be giving it their all,” stated Ed Sutor, president & CEO of Dover Downs Hotel & Casino. “For boxing fans across the country, we’re pleased that Wealth TV will be telecasting this event live across the nation.”

Along with main event featuring Lawrence v. Mollo, the event will co-feature former USBA light welterweight title holder and Contender superstar Mike “No Joke” Stewart, who is currently undefeated at Dover Downs Hotel & Casino (9-0-1). A host of boxing’s rising stars, including undefeated NABF female super featherweight champion “Queen” Ronica Jeffrey defending her title against Jackie Trivilino, will be featured.

Hotel Rates in Munich Rise Up to 1272% for Champions League Final

LONDON – Chelsea fans who are planning to follow their team to the UEFA Champions League final on May 19 might be in for a shock when looking for a hotel room. With the title game date less than three weeks away, accommodations in the host city of Munich are becoming rather pricey.

To spend the night in the Bavarian capital the day Chelsea goes head to head against Bayern, fans will have to spend close to Euro 500 (GBP 407) for the cheapest available room. That’s the finding of a recent survey conducted by CheapHotels.org, which compared rates across the various hotel-booking sites.

While the vast majority of hotels are sold out on the day of the Champions League final, about a dozen hotels, mainly in the outside districts of Munich, are still listing vacancies. However, because demand far exceeds supply, they’re implementing exorbitant rate hikes.

One case in point is the NH Munchen am Ring. This 3-star accommodation is situated 4 km from Munich’s city centre. Rooms at this establishment regularly go for Euro 84, but come the day of the CL final, they’ll soar to Euro 824. That figure equates to an 880% increase.

The NH Munchen am Ring is not the biggest price gouger, though. That honour goes to the Eurostars Grand Central, a 4-star hotel near Munich Central Station. Normally posting room rates of Euro 111, this accommodation is charging Euro 1523 the night of May 19, or a staggering 1272% more than usual.

Alas, staying anywhere in Munich won’t come cheaply. Indeed, the lowest-priced double room currently available is priced at Euro 499, with single rooms a bit cheaper. There is an affordable workaround for bargain hunters, however. If they are willing to stay in the neighbouring city of Augsburg, which is connected to Munich by direct train, they can secure a double room for around Euro 100 per night and arrive at the final in under an hour. They don’t have to worry about getting stranded if the game runs late either. Trains run until 3:00 in the morning.

Mexican Phenom Canelo Alvarez Heir Apparent To Cinco De Mayo Weekend Stardom

It has long been understood that if you are a Mexican superstar fighter, you will be fighting on Cinco de Mayo weekend, which has traditionally become the date and stage for boxing’s biggest mega-events.  Thanks to the precocious 21-year-old WBC Super Welterweight World Champion Canelo Alvarez, it’s clear that this fistic holiday tradition will continue well into the future.

In that vein, Canelo will be defending his title against Six-Time and Three-Division World Champion Sugar Shane Mosley as the co-main event of “Ring Kings: Mayweather vs. Cotto,”on Saturday, May 5 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nev. which will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View®.

Canelo will be making his second Cinco de Mayo appearance, with his first being on May 1, 2010, when he defeated Jose Miguel Cotto on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather’s win over Mosley. This year’s Cinco de Mayo celebration will also mark the 150th anniversary of the famous Mexican military victory over the French in 1862.

Along with Cinco de Mayo weekend, Mexico’s Independence Day weekend has also long been a traditional weekend for Mexico’s most celebrated fighters to step into the ring. Canelo has been in the spotlight for three straight Mexican Independence Day weekends, knocking out Carlos Herrera in Puebla, Mexico on Sept. 15, 2009, knocking out Carlos Baldomir on Sept. 18, 2010 in Los Angeles at STAPLES Center and stopping Alfonso Gomez on Sept. 17 of last year, also in Los Angeles at STAPLES Center.

Canelo’s ascent to holiday headliner is something that’s been important to his promoter, Golden Boy Promotions, and its president, Oscar de la Hoya, who long fought on these holidays himself.

“It has become a rite of passage, as well as a sign of greatness, when a Mexican or Mexican-American fighter is given the opportunity to fight on either Cinco de Mayo weekend or Mexican Independence Day weekend,” said De La Hoya. “Those weekends mean a great deal to our Hispanic fans.  It also means that a fighter is a tremendous box office draw. Canelo is heir to the throne.  His popularity and appeal among sports fans, both Hispanic and non-Hispanics, has led him to his prominent place on the May 5 card.”

Canelo’s fight with Mosley is the biggest of his career. A win over the future Hall of Famer will launch the undefeated Canelo (39-0-1, 29 KO’s) to an even higher level of stardom. He could take ownership of these nights, joining the ranks of other popular Mexican fighters who have participated in Cinco de Mayo weekend and Mexican Independence Day weekend events.

Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. took on Terrance Alli and Frankie Randall on Cinco de Mayo weekends in 1993 and 1994 respectively. He also went to battle on five consecutive Mexican Independence Day weekends in the early 1990s, defeating Lonnie Smith and Hector Camacho Sr., drawing with Pernell Whitaker and beating Meldrick Taylor and David Kamau. He passed the holiday torch to De La Hoya on Sept. 18, 1998, and his last bout before retiring was on Sept. 17, 2005.

De La Hoya headlined Cinco de Mayo events in 2003, 2006, 2007 and 2008, knocking out Yory Boy Campas and Ricardo Mayorga, losing to Mayweather and defeating Steve Forbes respectively. The Golden Boy was also a familiar face on Mexican Independence Day weekend, facing Camacho Sr. in 1997, Chavez Sr. in 1998, Felix Trinidad in 1999, Fernando Vargas in 2002, Mosley in 2003 and Bernard Hopkins in 2004.

The epic battle between Diego Corrales and Jose Luis Castillo took place on May 7, 2005. On that undercard was Juan Manuel Marquez, no stranger himself to fighting on the Mexican holiday weekends with his first bout against Manny Pacquiao coming on May 8, 2004 and having fought on Mexican Independence Day weekend cards in 2004, 2008 and 2009 against Orlando Salido, Joel Casamayor and Mayweather.

Marquez’s compatriots, Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales, both fought on several occasions around Independence Day.  Barrera defeated Robbie Peden in 2005 and Rocky Juarez in 2006, and Morales beat Junior Jones in 1998 and Pablo Cesar Cano last year.

These two holiday weekends and the legendary fighters who have fought on them have given Mexicans and Mexican-Americans many reasons to celebrate. Canelo Alvarez has the talent and charisma to give them one more reason for several more years to come.

Miguel Cotto Looks To Solidify His Mark Among The Long List Of Great Champions That Hail From Puerto Rico

Many great fighters have come from the boxing-rich island of Puerto Rico, one of those being WBA Super Welterweight World Champion Miguel Cotto, who hails from the city of Caguas and now carries the torch passed to him by the last great Puerto Rican pugilist, Felix “Tito” Trinidad.

Cotto is nearing the biggest and most difficult fight of his career taking place this Saturday, May 5 against Floyd “Money” Mayweather at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nev. which will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View®.  Though he is the defending champion putting his 154-pound belt on the line, in many ways he is the challenger.  That is simply because his opponent is Mayweather, undefeated at 42-0, a guaranteed first ballot Hall of Fame inductee and one of the greatest fighters of this era.

However, when boxers from Puerto Rico step into the ring, they don’t just feel the pressure of facing another man, they fight with the expectations of millions, carrying the burden of a culture that lives and breathes for the sport of boxing.

The history of Puerto Rican boxing presents a remarkable lineage: Light Heavyweight World Champion Jose Torres; Lightweight and Super Lightweight World Champion Carlos Ortiz; Lightweight World Champion Esteban DeJesus; Junior Welterweight, Welterweight and Super Welterweight World Champion Wilfred Benitez; 122-pound, 126-pound and 130-pound World Champion Wilfredo Gomez; 135-pound and 140-pound World Champion Edwin Rosario and Felix “Tito” Trinidad, who captured world titles at welterweight, super welterweight and middleweight.

In an interview with Puerto Rico’s El Nuevo Dia newspaper, Trinidad said Cotto will need to be fast enough to overcome Mayweather’s speed and upper body movement.

“He should stay toe to toe with Mayweather, round-by-round, close to Mayweather like all Puerto Ricans know how to do, put all his heart in and stay toe-to-toe,” Trinidad said.  “Try to look for a good shot and soften him little by little.”

Trinidad continued, “It is going to be very difficult for Cotto because the other guy has the physical conditioning, the intelligence, doesn’t take many shots and is very elusive.  Cotto can win, but it’s not going to be easy.”

In recent years, other Puerto Rican fighters such as Juan Manuel Lopez and Ivan Calderon have also earned popularity and fame; however Cotto has been the face of Puerto Rico boxing for nearly a decade.

The 31-year-old Caguas native has taken on a wide range of opponents in his 11 years as a professional, which has included world title reigns at super lightweight, welterweight and currently super welterweight.  He has shared the ring with countless champions and top contenders including Randall Bailey, Joshua Clottey, DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley, Zab “Super” Judah, Paulie “Magic Man” Malignaggi, Antonio Margarito, Carlos Maussa, Sugar Shane Mosley, Lovemore N’dou, Manny Pacquiao, Carlos Quintana and Ricardo Torres.  During this run, only future Hall of Famer Pacquiao and Margarito have defeated the Puerto Rican powerhouse, with Cotto avenging his controversial 2008 loss to Margarito with a cathartic and triumphant performance in December of last year.

A champion since 2004, Cotto who has successfully defended his titles 13 times, his accomplishments have earned him a shot at the top fighter in the sport.

His place as a Puerto Rican luminary is evidenced by the large crowds he has drawn to his mega-fights.

No other fighter in recent history has sold as many tickets in the city of New York as Cotto.  Puerto Rican fans have come out in droves to see his fights live, buying more than 100,000 tickets for his seven bouts at Madison Square Garden and his fight in the outfield of Yankee Stadium.

Cotto, who already is a great champion, beloved by the people of Puerto Rico and beyond, has the golden opportunity to hand Mayweather the first loss of his professional career this Saturday night and solidify his place as a boxing legend.

Ring Kings: Mayweather vs. Cotto Connecting Boxing with History

The Cinco de Mayo weekend has traditionally been known to produce some of the biggest and most memorable fight weekends in the history of the sport.  In years past, the holiday has seen Mexican greats Julio Cesar Chavez, Erik “El Terrible” Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera, Ricardo “Finito” Lopez and many others fight on Cinco de Mayo.  Mexican-American superstar Oscar de la Hoya fought on the weekend four times including his first mega-fight when, as WBO Lightweight World Champion, he defeated IBF Lightweight Titlist Rafael Ruelas on May 6, 1995.  Now it’s Mexican sensation Canelo Alvarez’s turn as he is featured in the May 5 co-main event against future Hall of Famer Sugar Shane Mosley.

The Cinco de Mayo celebration, while more of an American tradition, is observed in Mexico, primarily in the city of Puebla, and dates back to the significance of the 1862 Battle of Puebla.  In one of the proudest moments in Mexican History, 167 poorly equipped soldiers in the small town of Puebla battled and defeated a much more powerful 4,000-strong French army from taking over their land.

The Battle of Puebla was a monumental point in Mexican history for at least two reasons.  First, although considerably outnumbered, the Mexicans defeated a much better-equipped French army.  Second, it was significant because since the Battle of Puebla, no country in the Americas has been invaded by a European military force.  In the years since the Battle of Puebla, Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a day where Mexicans and Mexican-Americans enjoy all things Mexican with a passion and pride that never ceases.

With Cinco de Mayo also being an exciting time for the sport of boxing, it’s a great opportunity to connect a triumphant day in Mexican history with one of the biggest American sports traditions.  With four of the biggest names in boxing, Floyd Mayweather, Miguel Cotto, rising Mexican red-headed phenom Canelo Alvarez and Sugar Shane Mosley, fighting on this feted Mexican holiday this year, the city of Puebla has connected with this special weekend of events and activities in celebration of their victory.
