# Saoul Mamby

Saoul Paul Mamby (June 4, 1947 – December 19, 2019) was an American professional boxer who fought between 1969 and 2008. He held the WBC super lightweight title from 1980 to 1982.

## Personal

Mamby was born in South Bronx, New York, to Victoria, of Spanish descent, and father, Robert, from Jamaica. He converted to Judaism at age 4, and went to Hebrew School at the Bronx's Mount Horeb Synagogue.
Mamby became interested in boxing while on vacation in Jamaica. He began his boxing career in 1963 at the age of sixteen, fighting in the Golden Gloves in 1965 and 1966. He compiled an amateur record of 25–5 before turning pro in 1969.
Mamby was a soldier in the U.S. Army and served in Vietnam during the Vietnam War in 1968.

## Boxing career

He held the WBC super lightweight title once, starting his 2+1⁄2-year reign in February 1980 by going to South Korea to stop titlist Kim Sang-Hyun in the 14th round. After that, he made five successful defenses, travelling to Indonesia and Nigeria in the process. He stopped former WBC lightweight champion Esteban De Jesús in the 13th round in July 1980 on the Holmes-LeDoux undercard and decisioned Termite Watkins over 15 on the Holmes-Ali undercard. He won a 15-round nod over Jo Kimpuani on yet another undercard for a Larry Holmes fight against Leon Spinks. He then went to Indonesia to decision Thomas Americo.
In his last bout leaving the ring as champion, he decisioned Obisia Nwankpa in Nigeria.
He was to fight WBA champion Aaron Pryor in the summer of 1982 for a unification bout in the super lightweight division, but instead fought and lost his WBC title by split decision to Leroy Haley in June of that year.
He would play the role of world title challenger twice more, once in a rematch with Haley in February 1983 which he lost in a 12-round unanimous decision. He then challenged new champion Billy Costello in November 1984 but lost another 12-round unanimous decision.
Other boxers Mamby fought include Roberto Durán to whom he lost by points in a non-title fight in 1976, and Saensak Muangsurin to whom he lost in a 15-round decision in Thailand in 1977 in an attempt to win Muangsurin's WBC 140 lb (64 kg) title.
Mamby continued to fight into his 50s, and was forced to retire by the California State athletic commission following his last loss in 2000.

### Comeback at 60

At the age of 60, Mamby announced a comeback which was to have taken place in Lapwai, Idaho at the Pi-Nee-Waus Community Center of the Nez Perce Tribe, in a card that was subsequently canceled.
Mamby fought several weeks later, weighing 1491⁄2 pounds (67 kilograms) and lost a ten-round decision to journeyman fighter Anthony Osbourne in the Cayman Islands. As a result, Mamby became one of the oldest boxers to appear in an officially sanctioned bout. It was Mamby's eleventh loss in his last 14 fights.
Mamby was known for his ability to take punches well; in 85 professional bouts, he was stopped only once, that by an opponent who was several years younger, Derell Coley, in 1993. On June 23, 2024 Mamby was inducted into the Florida Boxing Hall of Fame.

# Friedhelm Konietzka

Friedhelm "Timo" Konietzka (2 August 1938 – 12 March 2012) was a German professional football player and manager who played as a striker. He earned his nickname "Timo" due to a supposed resemblance to the Soviet commander Semyon Timoshenko.

## Biography

Konietzka was born in Lünen, Province of Westphalia, and started his football career at his hometown club VfB 08 Lünen. In his youth (for five years since the age of 14) he worked in a coal mine. Max Merkel, coach of Borussia Dortmund at that time, discovered his talent when Konietzka was 20 and included him in the Dortmund squad. Together with fellow striker Jürgen Schütz, he formed the most dangerous attack of the Oberliga West. Konietzka played a total of 100 Bundesliga matches for Borussia Dortmund and TSV 1860 Munich and scored 72 goals, being the second best scorer of the league from 1964 to 1966 in the process. He was also capped nine times (three goals) for Germany between 1962 and 1965. Despite Konietzka's fine goalscoring record in the German league, Germany national team manager Sepp Herberger thought of him as too inconsistent, which could be one of the reasons Konietzka never featured regularly for the national side.
He won the German championship with Dortmund against 1. FC Köln in the last final before the introduction of the Bundesliga in 1963.
Konietzka earned his place in football history books when he scored the very first goal of the newly founded Bundesliga in the first minute of a match between Werder Bremen and Borussia Dortmund on 24 August 1963 (at 16:59 German time, as the game had started slightly earlier than scheduled). His biggest successes as a player were a DFB-Pokal title with Dortmund in 1965 and championship titles with Dortmund in 1963 and TSV 1860 Munich in 1966.
His coaching career included stints with Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Uerdingen, FC Zürich, BSC Young Boys and Grasshopper Club Zürich. He won three Swiss championships with FC Zürich between 1974 and 1976 and reached the semi-final of the 1976–77 European Cup, where his Zürich side was knocked out by English champions Liverpool. As coach of BSC Young Boys he twice reached the final of the Swiss Cup between 1978 and 1980.
Konietzka's wife is named Claudia. He took Swiss citizenship in 1988. With help of euthanasia-organisation Exit International, he chose to end his life at the age of 73 in Brunnen, Canton of Schwyz. He had been suffering from cancer prior to his death on 12 March 2012.

# Guatemala–Honduras border

The Guatemala–Honduras adjacency line is a disputed international boundary separating Guatemala on the north and west from Honduras on the south and east. The border dispute and being adjudicated in the ICJ as of 2019.
Its length is 256 km (159 mi). It is the third longest border of Guatemala after the borders that separate that country from Mexico and Belize. For Honduras, it is the shortest border, coming after those with Nicaragua and El Salvador.
The border begins at the mouth of the Motagua River in the Gulf of Honduras, then proceeds upstream. It continues towards the southwest, following several straight lines between geographic landmarks, divides between watersheds, and rivers and streams to its end at the tripoint with El Salvador at the summit of the Montecristo Massif.

## History

The border was fixed in 1933 by an arbitration tribunal in the United States after Nicaragua and Guatemala signed an arbitration treaty in 1930. A demarcation commission headed by Sidney H. Birdseye conducted an areal survey and erected 1,028 boundary markers between 1933 and 1936.

# If I Were Your Woman (Gladys Knight & the Pips album)

If I Were Your Woman is the seventh studio album by American R&B quartet Gladys Knight & the Pips, released in 1971 on Soul Records.

## History

The song "If I Were Your Woman" was written by Gloria Jones and Pam Sawyer, who met during a barbecue lunch and gave the song to Clay McMurray, a former associate of Motown producer Norman Whitfield. The song was originally meant for Blinky to record, or the Supremes, but both did not record it, as Blinky was unavailable, and the Supremes were working with Frank Wilson at the time. Whitfield convinced McMurray to give the song to Gladys Knight and the Pips, and McMurray convinced Berry Gordy to release it as a single. Another single, "I Don't Want to Do Wrong", was written by three members and co-written by former Marvelette Katherine Anderson and Johnny Bristol. It was also produced by Bristol. Both singles from the album became a hit. The first single, "If I Were Your Woman", peaked at No. 9 on the pop charts, and topped the R&B charts at No. 1. The second single, "I Don't Want to Do Wrong" peaked at No. 17 on the pop charts, and on No. 2 on the R&B charts in July 1971.
