New York (December, 11, 2017)–On December 1st, welterweight prospect Poindexter Knight, Jr. won his anticipated professional debut when he stopped Samuel Forjoe in the first round of their scheduled four-round bout at The Strand Ballroom and Theater in Providence, Rhode Island.
Den 2017 National Golden Gloves champion out of Philadelphia landed a hard combination the corner that had Forjoe bending over, and the bout was stopped in just 63 sekunder.
Knight is the latest top-prospect to debut for Split-T Management, and he is promoted by Evander Holyfield’s Sports and Entertainment.
“Everything went well, I was excited and nervous, but I got through it,”said Knight.
“I thought my opponent would have a little more for me, but I did what I had to do in there and I got him out of there. It was great to get the knockout in my pro debut,” continued Knight.
Knight is eager to get his next victory, and he is looking to do in front of his hometown fans.
“I am hoping to fight in front of my hometown fans in 2018. That would be a goal for the upcoming year. I can’t wait as I am coming strong in 2018.”
Knight is trained by his father Poindexter Knight, Sr, and the elder Knight was happy with his son’s performance.
“Poindexter looked relaxed, and it looked like it was his 10th fight. I am happy to be with Split-T Management. They gave us a chance when no one else did. We wanted to turn pro for a while and a lot of managers made a lot of broken promises. I put Poindexter back in the Golden Gloves, and he won, which opened a lot of doors,” Said Poindexter Knight, Sr.
“Like my son said, I would like to see him get at least five fights for 2018. That will keep him sharp, and he will continue to learn. We had a great 1st fight, and we will continue to work hard and get better with each fight.”
Said David McWater, CEO of Split-T management, “I’m truly excited about Poindexter Knight’s future – he has the skill and more importantly the drive to be one of the very best.”

Kan Saunders sikre sig sin mest imponerende gevinst til dato over Lemieux?
Billy Joe Saunders tager til ringen i december 16 i Canada som den regerende og forsvarende WBO-mellemvægtmester, at være den stolte ejer af et bælte, som han vandt helt tilbage i december 2015 når besejre medrejsende Andy Lee.
Men siden han udpegede irske Lee med en flertalsbeslutnings succes at blive verdensmester på Manchester Arena, Saunders har kun forsvaret det ved to lejligheder, med enstemmig beslutning triumferer over Artur Akavov og Willie Monroe Jr., for nylig.
Mod spillet russisk Akavov, den ubesejrede verdens titelholder var langt fra imponerende og måske endda heldig at få en så behagelig beslutning i sidste ende på Lagoon Leisure Centre på skotsk jord. Sejren over den amerikanske udfordrer Monroe Jr var meget bedre, efter at have påtaget sig Dominic Ingle som sin nyeste træner.
Men sidstnævnte kamp var stadig en trist affære og gjorde intet for at fremme eller øge Saunders’ appellerer til et bredere publikum, da han overarbejdede den New York-fødte Southpaw ganske behageligt. For det meste af titelforsvaret, han blev slet ikke brugt til at arbejde, med Monroe, der er kommet ind med et bizart ineffektivt gameplan.
Men, den 28-årige næste vil uden tvivl møde hans hårdeste karriere test til dato mod tidligere £ 160-mester David Lemieux, en langt mere seriøs udfordring end en uerfaren og ungdommelig Chris Eubank Jr., en ligeglad Andy Lee og langt fra at true Willy Monroe Junior.
Hårdtslående canadiske Lemieux kommer ind i ringtovene som den jævnlige outsider i de seneste boksodds at sejre på hjemlandet, en lovende pris for en kæmper med en kraftig bølge af sejre for sent. Siden blev ondskabsfuldt stoppet i et galant show mod divisionens kongehoved Gennady Golovkin i oktober 2015, 28-åringen har vundet fire sejre i træk, inklusive to store knockouts af Glen Tapia og Curtis Stevens.
Af alle modstandere har Saunders gået tå til tå med til dato, ingen har haft Lemieuxs stansekraft, og det kunne være en afgørende faktor for kampnat. Sidstnævnte hjemhåb fremmes af Oscar De La Hoyas Golden Boy, der tilsyneladende er ivrige efter at matche den canadiske med den største pengeko Saul 'Canelo’ Alvarez næste år, snarere end at smide ham med 'GGG’ endnu en gang i en meget ventet omkamp.
På trods af at være favoritten til at sejre og opretholde sin ubesejrede rekord om, hvad der bliver hans jomfruforetagende uden for Storbritannien i sin professionelle karriere, det ser ud til, at oddsene faktisk er stablet mod Saunders for dette seneste møde.
Det har været tydeligt, for, at Saunders ikke kan prale af den massive magt, der er i stand til at holde en flådfodet Lemieux væk fra fareområderne i hele deres match-up. Knockout-kunstneren Lemieux producerede det, der til sidst kunne vælges til årets stop tilbage i marts, da han brutalt satte Stevens’ lyser ud i New York City.
Kan en anden ondskabsfuld succes være på kortene i hjemmet? Det er op til Saunders og Ingle at udføre deres kommende gameplan perfekt for at sikre, hvad der ville være en meget imponerende sejr på vejen, men det ser sandsynligt ud til at blive en virkelig testnat i Quebec.

LFA STARTS 2018 WITH 1-2-3 PUNCH!
|
|
LAS VEGAS, Nevada – Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced the promotion will kick off 2018 med en 1-2-3 punch in January with a trio of star-studded shows in California, Arizona, and Louisiana.
Den vigtigste begivenhed af LFA 30 will feature the long-awaited clash between southern California kingpins and top LFA welterweights “Curtious” Curtis Millender and Nick “The Phoenix” Barnes. LFA 30 – Millender vs. Barnes takes place Fredag, January 12th at Costa Mesa Hall at OC Fair Grounds in Costa Mesa, California.
The following week, LFA heads to Arizona with a fierce interim featherweight title fight in the Valley of the Sun. I main event, former RFA title challenger and BJJ black belt Bobby “The Wolfman” Moffett battles knockout sensation Thanh Le for the LFA interim featherweight title. LFA 31 – Moffett vs. Le takes place Fredag, January 19th på Comerica Theatre i Phoenix, Arizona.
LFA caps the month of January with a pair of title fights in southern Louisiana. I main event, former LFA title challenger Brendan “All In” Allen faces top undefeated prospect Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez for the vacant LFA middleweight title. I co-headliner, red-hot Ryan “Superman” Spann will lock horns with UFC vet Alex “The Spartan” Nicholson for the inaugural LFA light-heavyweight title. LFA 32 – Allen vs. Hernandez takes place Fredag, 26th januar at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
The entire main card of all three of these events will be televised live and nationwide on AXS TV at 9 p.m. OG / 6 p.m. PT.
“I’m excited to kick off 2018 with three straight weeks of LFA action across the country”, Erklærede Soares. “Curtis Millender and Nick Barnes are coming off big wins in LFA headliners and will meet in the main event of LFA 30 in southern California on January 12th. The following week, we head to Arizona with top contenders Bobby Moffett and Thanh Le meeting for the interim featherweight title in the main event LFA 31. We finish the month with two title fights at LFA 32 in southern Louisiana. Brendan Allen faces Anthony Hernandez for the vacant middleweight title in the main event and Ryan Spann will take on Alex Nicholson for the inaugural light-heavyweight title in the co-headliner.”
Millender (13-3) returns home to the building where he fought and won his first seven fights. The Orange County juggernaut is looking to build off a perfect 2017 where he won three fights, including back-to-back LFA headliners. His most recent win came via highlight reel Head Kick KO in the main event of LFA 24. Millender will meet Barnes (12-2) in a long-awaited showdown between two of southern California’s finest. The welterweight stars started their careers in the southern California regional circuit, moved on to Bellator, and will finally meet in the main event of LFA 30. Barnes, like Millender, is coming off an impressive win in an LFA headliner.
Den vigtigste begivenhed af LFA 31 is a fight that casual fans and MMA purists alike are salivating over. It pits a rugged and accomplished BJJ black belt in Moffett (10-2) against one of the most dynamic strikers in all of MMA in Le (7-1) with the LFA interim featherweight title on the line. På papiret, this is a textbook grappler vs. striker bout at its highest form. Men, both men bring so much more to the table than what their respective martial arts backgrounds represent. Moffett, who trains out of The MMA Lab, has shown a willingness to throw down with anyone, while Le trains with BJJ wunderkind and UFC star Ryan Hall in northern Virginia.
LFA will conclude its busy month of January with a pair of title tilts in southern Louisiana. LFA standout and Louisiana native Allen (8-2) will get a second shot at LFA gold after going five rounds with current UFC star Eryk Anders for the inaugural LFA middleweight title in June. Allen quickly rebounded six weeks later with a submission win in the co-main event of LFA 18. He will face another highly-touted undefeated prospect for the title. This time it comes in the form of the northern California destroyer Hernandez (5-0). Manden er kendt som “Fluffy” has finished everyone he has faced inside the first round.
Co-main event af LFA 32 will crown the inaugural LFA light-heavyweight champion. Spann (12-5) is a former Legacy FC title challenger that will look to capture LFA gold in front of his home crowd. “Superman” is riding considerable momentum heading into this fight after dispatching a pair of top contenders in the first round of his last two bouts at LFA 23 and LFA 27. He will face Nicholson (10-4) who has been a man on fire since his four-fight run with the UFC ended in May. The Florida native has been a tour de force since then as he looks to make his way back. In the past two months, “The Spartan” has knocked out three quality opponents in grand total of 3 minutter og 28 sekunder.
I september 2016, Legacy FC and RFA officials announced that they would be merging to form the premier developmental organization in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) begynder i januar 2017. Legacy FC and RFA have launched the careers of over 150 atleter, der har nået toppen af MMA ved at konkurrere i UFC.
