Dominick Guinn (born April 20, 1975 in Hot Springs , USA ) is an American heavyweight boxer .

amateur

Guinn won the "National Golden Gloves " in 1997 and 1999, as well as the US championship in 1998. At the 1998 Goodwill Games in Seattle , he lost in the semi-finals to Cuban Alexis Rubalcaba and took third place. For the Olympic Games 2000 he could not qualify because he was defeated in the US preliminary round against Calvin Brock . His record was 290-26.

professional

His career as a professional can be divided into three phases. In the beginning, despite his amateur praise and support from Shelly Finkel, he had practically no fans and supporters. His opponents were considered weak and his performance as mediocre.

That changed when he was pitted against the highly respected Michael Grant , who had previously only been knocked out against Lennox Lewis and lost one more fight due to injury. Guinn was strong and knocked out Grant badly. In the next fight against Duncan Dokiwari , an amateur star with mixed professional performances, he was able to convince, he defeated the Olympic bronze medalist from 1996 on points. He has now the Pay TV transmitter HBO as the biggest talent since Riddick Bowe advertised.

But in the fight against Monte Barrett after that, the bubble burst again. He succumbed to Barrett after phlegmatic imagination. He earned snappy comments in the media, referring to his battle name "The Southern Disaster". He was also defeated on points against Sjarhej Lyachowitsch , as well as against James Toney . Against Friday Ahunanya he boxed only a draw. At this point he parted ways with Finkel and his promoter Main Events . It didn't help much. He was at least able to score the also ailing Olympic champion Audley Harrison , but he lost again to Tony Thompson . In 2007 he lost to the undefeated Eddie Chambers and the planned opponent Robert Hawkins (22-10). The French-Canadian Jean-François Bergeron, who had previously only lost to Nikolai Valujew on points, he was able to defeat in October 2008 by knockout in the second round.
