	Ringside Report "The Heart Of Boxing"
		Mugabi's ability to take adversity was tested by Green, who fought Mugabi at a pace that no boxing fan expected anyone to put up against “The Beast.” After the bell in round three, Mugabi went to the floor, apparently by a Green punch.
		Mugabi had succeeded, without winning a major belt, in transforming from a star into a sensation, and his photo was on the cover of major boxing publications.
		Mugabi ended his career as a Light Heavyweight, being knocked out twice before retiring in 1999, but after having established a legacy in boxing around the world, and letting fans from all continents enjoy a lifetime's worth of boxing highlights.

	Hagler V Mugabi - Marvellous Marvin Defeats “The Beast” In His Final Victory - Iron Life Forums
		However, in the champion’s favour was the fact that Mugabi had won all twenty six of his fights as a light middleweight.
		John’s left hand appeared very dangerous, and his forward aggression was successful on occasion - successful enough to win him the round.
		Mugabi was loading up with his shots a little too wide and Marvin countered him to good effect.

		Fans bought tickets for Mugabi’s fights, to be sure, gut instead of using that to develop his entire program of twice monthly fights around it, the promoter - Phil Alessi - found that he could get a lot of people around town to do him favors in exchange for the coveted tickets.
		In March of 1990 Mugabi defended his WBC 154-pound title at the Sun Dome, in what was Tampa’s first world title fight since 1971 (when Bob Foster fought Ray Anderson in a light heavyweight title bout), and the arena was, well, half filled.
		Mugabi got knocked out in the first round by Terry Norris, and that was the end of big-time boxing in the area.

	Bob Arum
		Arum used his education and business savvy to become a boxing promoter, and during the 1980s became a driving force behind the sport, rivalling Don King.
		Many of Arum's boxers and former boxers nowadays can enjoy the fruits of their work because of that, and they have publicly recognized that every penny they made always showed up in their bank accounts.
		A particularly touching moment happened when Arum mounted the Hagler-John Mugabi, Hearns-James Shuler[?] double header in Las Vegas April of 1986.

	Boxing News : Probst
		Unbeaten in 26 fights, all via knockout, Mugabi rises from junior middleweight to take on Hagler, whose long-deserved popularity was realized after his epic war with Tommy Hearns the year previous.
		By the middle rounds, Mugabi was clearly tiring despite showing a phenomenal chin and doggedness early.
		Looking back at the fight, it’s amazing how well Mugabi was able to do despite his complete disdain for defense and throwing anything outside of telegraphed haymakers.

	John Mugabi
		Soon after that win, Mugabi moved to London, where he became acquainted with boxing promoter Mickey Duff, an expert in boxer marketing that got Mugabi various fights in England and made him a known boxer there.
		Over there, he became a favorite of American tv networks, beating the likes of Curtis Ramsey, Gary Guiden, former world champion Eddie Gazo, Curtis Parker, Frank The Animal Fletcher, Nino Gonzalez and Earl Hargrove.
		Mugabi then set off on another knockout winning streak, but, because many of his opponents after the Thomas fight were of obscure quality, he almost disappeared from the boxing map.

		Next was John Mugabi, who was 26-0 with 26 knockouts.
		Hagler took Mugabi's best shots and came back handily, stopping Mugabi in the 11th in what would turn out to be his last successful defense.
		He thought his decision loss to Leonard was undeserved, and quit boxing (after being refused a rematch) tired of the backroom politics of the sport.

	John Mugabi vs Shane Mosley [Archive] - FIGHTBEAT.COM BOXING FORUMS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Mugabi was a major puncher, but he was never a boxer or a guy with good defensive skills.
		But I don't really think Mugabi had the absolute goods to really hurt Mosley, he needs a lot more than power to do so, with that said I pick Mosley by UD, but Mugabi wins 4 rounds.
		Mosley is more well rounded, but Mugabi is bigger and more powerful plus you've got to figure that if The Beast could hang tough with Hagler for 11 rounds he should be able to take Shane's punches.

		Mugabi wasn't a welterweight, but moved back and forth from 154 to 160, yet made his successes at 154, ultimately.
		The loss shook Mugabi to where he lost his next fight to Duane Thomas and affected him deeply, very likely to the end of Mugabi's career in '99.
		Now Hagler had a tremendous heart and will, and like in the Mugabi fight, and the Hearns fight; even if he was taking a lot of punishment, if he was landing and getting his share of damage in, he STILL always believed he would be the man on top.

		Another journalistic offense, and not surprisingly in Rwanda a criminal one as well, is to write anything deemed hate speech.

		Mugabi was quite good counterpuncher but he had himself winging style.

		Mugabi continued boxing and in 1989 he won the WBC Light Middleweight Title, stopping Frenchman Rene Jacquot in a single round.

		Vito had one of the best chins ever and was one of the toughest fighters to ever step into the ring, and Mugabi was one of the harder punchers ever at LMW.
		Vito gave alot of good fighters trouble (most notably the first Hagler fight where it was declared a draw) and opponents would hurt their hands hitting his face over and over.
		Swarming isn't best style to beat huge puncher especially if he is quite good counterpuncher and Mugabi was.

	The Social Affairs Unit - Web Review: Peter Mullen welcomes the appointment of Archbishop Sentamu
		The Ugandan-born John Sentamu was recently appointed Archbishop of York, becoming the Church of England's first fl archbishop.
		He does so not for politically correct reasons, and certainly not because John Sentamu is a liberal-modernising reformer, but because John Sentamu has life in him.
		But we may hope that his elevation to a position of high authority will make John Sentamu hesitate before he allows his name and status to be abused by the gang of political opinion which operates coercion under the euphemism of "inclusivity".
