Gabor Balogh continues his march to the HOS by turning a rare hat trick: knockdown, point deduction AND a DQ all in the very first round of loss #43 (and of course a shout goes out to 25-2 Attila Kovacs for taking a fight like this in the first place).
Result from Slovakia's final show of 2008: A second loss to Stefan Berza in four months. Berza may have sabotaged his own HOS chances with those two outcomes alone, but on the bright side of things, this could be the dawn of something special for the 18-year old, 7 losses-in 3 countries-in 8 months Mr. Nemeth. Although he's probably not related to this gent, they're still a pair to watch, especially in light of Attila's performance last February 3rd.
Also in 2008: Cristian Nicolae probably punched his ticket to the HOS (barring too many more screw-ups like the one in February).

Faces in the Crowd, Part II: South American Edition
Cristian Zamudio, Argentina. 0-11 with 11 KO losses, from super middleweight to heavyweight. In the tradition of Perfecto Gonzalez, he once posed as Edson Nascimento (not the 47-0-1 bumkilling great, but a lower-budget 7-2-1 version) for a fight against 21-1 Gonzalo Omar Basile.
Victor Luis Britos Samudio, Paraguay. 0-32-1 with most of the losses by KO. In the tradition of Cristian Zamudio, he once posed as 3-15 Aurelio Dos Santos (whom Samudio had been KO'd twice by earlier in his career) for a fight against Gonzalo Omar Basile, as though that constituted a significant upgrade in opposition. Also appears to manage a pair of other fighters who, disappointingly, sport winning records.
Juan Carlos Gimenez Ferreyra, Paraguay. 46-year old (at least) national cruiserweight champion, who captured the belt with a win over 47-year old, 1-19 Juan Hipolito Hellmann Rivas (nickname: "Mayonesa"). Mayonesa's win came against none other than ... Victor Luis Britos Samudio.
Arnaldo Elias Romero Orrabalis, Paraguay. 1-22-2 with four losses apiece to Erich Ramon Sanabria Franco and Felix Roque Nunez Barrientos, and six losses to Feliciano Dario Azuaga Ledezma -- with a seventh bout between the two scheduled for this Friday. His win came against ...
Basilio Pedro Morel Mendiola, Paraguay. 0-16 with all of the losses coming within four rounds, including the above-mentioned loss (via KO1) to Romero Orrabalis in a Paraguayan 108-lb. title bout. Following this defeat he was KO'd in two by Sixto Vera Espinola, and in his next fight, two years later, he was KO'd in three, again by Espinosa, this time in an equally well-deserved bid for the Paraguayan 105-lb. title.
Alfredo Ramon Comaschi, Argentina. Came back from a near-20 year layoff in underwhelming fashion in 2003, by drawing with 1-19-4 Juan Carlos Chapana.
Flavio Dario Pedemonte, Argentina. And what do you get for $1.50?
Other notables include Enrique Roque Ramon Ocampo, Argentina, 0-24-2 and still going strong, Victor Adrian Britos, Argentina, 4-40-5 up until the time of his murder in 2005, Luis "Robocop" Cardozo, Colombia, not only with two losses to Jose Herley Zuniga Leal but also one to Jose Herley Zuniga Montano, and Douglas Oliveira, Brazil, who may well hold the record for the least amount of in-ring action in a career.
(Again, thanks to Dumpster and bronc for their contributions.)

Bigger than the chase for 756
The biggest story in all of bumdom rolls on as 0-42 Alex Manea now stands a mere seven losses from the summit. Shout outs also to:
* Steve "Rhymes with Crumble" Trumble for producing some of the hottest Solo Boxeo swing bout action in many moons (gracias Bronc)
* Skyler Thompson for returning to action for the first time since racking up 5 wins in 17 days last January, to scrape past a 3-7-2 guy
* 23-0 Chase Shields for getting taken out in six by 6-26-5 Vance Garvey
* "Dangerous" Danny Wofford for tipping the scales at 300 pounds in his recent comeback fight, and getting DQ'd for "general lack of effort" with just 23 seconds left in his 4-rounder against Ray Lunsford
* Howard Clarke for picking up his 50th & 51st consecutive losses
* Jonathan Whiteman for bolstering his case for being the worst 5-win fighter in history with a TKO loss to 6-69-2 Jason Nesbitt
* Anton Glofak for continuing his good works by fighting an exhibition against 0-17-2 Jozef Gabris at a Slovakian children's home in April, before coming through with official career loss #70 in May. (In other Slovak boxing news, LP appears to be entering the bumkiller market with 34-year old Albanian Xhavit "Ushtar" Visoka, but he also seems to have a budding rival for the homeland's premium non-talent)
* Pipino Cuevas Jr. and Martin Antonio Coggi for mercifully getting laid out by a couple of zeroes (as JCC Jr. was continuing his tear through the Octavius James stable)
* Ms. Dobbs for recording her second career win over Treasure "The Bahama Mama" Saunders
* Everyone involved with this card of the year candidate in Irving, Texas (featuring six 4-rounders, Starr Johnson advancing to 3-14 with a KO win, and the previously-discussed Rodney Spears moving up to 0-24, amongst other greatness)

Nate Campbell wants you to know...
AT JULIO DIAZ'S ASS HE WILL BE.
The Calloway hit parade continued last month with a KO win over a guy who once lost to Reggie. Best of all, though, the legend of Jeff Holcomb grew still larger last night with his MD4 loss to 9-43 Robert Marsh.
Dumpster2 brings you the next great IBU champs.
Shout outs also to Rudy Lopez, who in the space of eight months won the WBC featherweight title, then lost it, then got blown out on his home turf in March by a Japanese guy making a rare non-Korakuen Hall appearance, Jose Correa for somehow getting a WBA regional title shot after never having fought past 6 rounds before (and getting dominated by the highly unremarkable Edwin Vazquez), in addition to the dynamic Danish duo of Claus Bertino and Reda Zam Zam for getting destroyed by even less-remarkable opposition on the Kessler/Andrade undercard.

Faces in the Crowd, Part I
Rodney Spears. Lost a shutout UD to 7-28-2 Tyrone Jackson in 2004. Followed that up with an MD loss to 4-18-3 Donald Jenkins at a Hooters three months later. Lost another shutout UD to 0-15 Ernest Parfait at the Cut Off Youth Center in Cut Off, LA last summer. Current record: 0-22. Limit: the sky. (Thanks Dumpster.)
Kent Yellow Earings. After being felled by a low blow at the Buffalo Chip Campground in South Dakota in his only other pro bout, Yellow Earings recently surfaced two-and-a-half years later (and 39 pounds heavier), only to pack it in after one round of action against pro debutant Marc Saggese. (Set your watches for his heavyweight debut in October 2010, possibly against a 550-pound Butterbean.)

BREAKING NEWS
Stefan Stanko stepped into the ring today with a chance to pick up his fiftieth career loss. Unfortunately the man standing across from him was former IBU title challenger Zoltan Kiss Jr. and, well, five minutes and twenty-one seconds of boxing later, Stanko found himself with a record of 5-49. Kiss, meanwhile, is well on his way to compiling a ledger that compares favorably with the previously-discussed Mr. Holcomb's.
In related news, they don't seem to be making WBC Youth Title shots the way they used to, as Idiozan Matos and Gabriel Adoko can attest. (And, on the topic of bumkillers, shout outs to Paez Jr. for his nationally televised performance last night, too, which was well worth J.J. Corn's bout on the same card having to remain off-TV.)

1-50
Above you see the new record of Jose Carlos Amaral, who has now entered some rarified territory indeed; even the great Parlagi only managed to go 31 for his first 34. Alexandru Manea has now further advanced on some hallowed ground himself, picking up his first loss of 2007 last month, and 38th loss in 38 fights. Among the relative mortals, Marius Petre Sorin has moved to 0-28-1. Benjamin Robles Murry is now 1-29.
Congratulations also to the following:
* Buck Smith for waiting until round 3 to fold against Calloway
* Martin Gillick for still not having fought (thanks Dumpster)
* Mr. Romero (the promised YouTube links: part one, part two -- thanks bronc)
* 26-2 Chris Mills for his KO1 loss to 8-15-2 Cullen Rogers (Rogers had drawn with 0-8-1 Cameron Bright two fights ago -- thanks C-izzle)
* Allan Green for getting comprehensively beaten by Edison Miranda last night after saying things on Fightnews like: "Miranda is too stupid to understand science, because he is probably the slowest guy I have ever fought. He has a better chance of tickling a grizzly bear in the a-- with a chicken feather than hitting me. He forgets that I am a puncher also. I will expose, embarrass and destroy him. He is too stupid to know any better but he will get an education on March 3rd."
* and, of course, Armando Cordoba for the following masterpiece (credit to Fightnews again): "The fight was competitive for the first three rounds, however after that Lopez took over. He dropped Cordova in round five with a nice four-punch combination and [Cordova] remained on his stool after the round. The rumor at ringside was that Cordova's visa expired at midnight and he had to head to nearby Ontario International Airport to catch a flight out of the country."
