HOUSTON, Texas – La lucha contra el legado Alianza (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that the LFA will make its third trip to Minnesota at the end of August with a welterweight headliner and the return of two revered Minnesotans.
El evento principal del LFA 20 will feature a welterweight war between rising star Chad “Blitz” Curry and former RFA title challenger Nick “El fénix” Barnes. LFA 20 – Curry vs. Barnes tiene lugar Viernes, 25 de agosto at the Mystic Lake Showroom in Prior Lake, Minnesota. Toda la cartelera principal será transmitido en vivo en todo el país y en la televisión en AXS 9 p.m. Y / 6 p.m. PT.
“I’m happy to bring the LFA back to Minnesota for a third time this year”, Declarado Soares. “We have a great history of bringing exciting fights to the area, and this card will continue that tradition. Both Curry and Barnes have shown to be aggressive, physical fighters, and I really want to see how this match up plays out. Mystic Lake has been a great partner and we look forward to bringing LFA 20 to the Mystic Lake Showroom on 25 de agosto.”
Curry (9-1) has transformed himself from one of Minnesota’s most popular fighters to one of the sport’s most exciting and promising prospects. The man aptly known as “Blitz” has decimated his last two opponents since moving up to welterweight. De hecho, all nine men that he has defeated, never saw the final round. Curry is able to do this by utilizing a unique blend of technical grappling and stout ground-and-pound. The 27-year-old Minnesotan now faces a huge test as he gets set to headline his first televised event at LFA 20.
Barnes (11-2) makes his LFA debut roughly twelve months after competing for the RFA welterweight world title. The Wyoming native, who now calls San Diego, casa de California, has taken the time since that fight to strengthen his already formidable skill set. After coming up short in that title fight to a man who was then immediately signed to the UFC, the 26-year-old known as “El fénix” will look to live by the famous words of S.A. Sachs: “Hope rises like a Phoenix from the ashes of shattered dreams.” The Phoenix will look to rise again at LFA 20.
El evento co-principal de LFA 20 will feature a highly-anticipated match-up
La carta principal de LFA 20 will also feature the return of women’s MMA pioneer Kelly “Blood Red” Kobold. Después de un paréntesis de un año y medio y seis del deporte, she will take on knockout artist Christine “Knuckles” Stanley.
Kobold (18-3-1) es una de las mujeres más respetadas en el deporte. She has enjoyed an illustrious professional MMA career that dates back fifteen years. A true pioneer in women’s MMA, the warrior known as “Blood Red” has been there moving behind the scenes, cutting a bloody path through the ages until suddenly, just like that, she up and disappeared in 2011. Now she is back at 125-pounds, ready to stake a claim at the top of the division.
Stanley (5-3) will be the woman waiting to welcome Kobold back to the sport she helped pioneer. The San Diego native has built a career around an explosive striking base that has earned her a reputation as one of the most feared knockout artists in the division. The RFA vet holds one of the fastest knockouts in combat sports. That knockout came in 5-seconds with a highlight reel Flying Spinning Hook Kick back in 2014. “Knuckles” has earned four of her five wins by way of KO or TKO and now looks to pick up the biggest win of her career at LFA 20.

Here is what Ortiz had to say Miércoles from the Knuckleheadz Boxing Gym:
VICTOR ORTIZ
“The hunger is definitely still there inside of me. When I became world champion, it was a short-lived experience. I had reached a high pinnacle and lost it in a fashion that I was never satisfied with. I’m blessed to be healthy enough to come back.
“Having my son be born (Victor Royal Ortiz) is probably part of the reason that this hunger grew inside of me and motivated me to get back in the ring. I have goals and accomplishments that I want to reach.
“I know that Saul Corral will be ready for me. This is a camp where I made sure to listen to everything my coach said. I went to work 110 percent every day. I didn’t take any shortcuts and I’m feeling great.
“I still feel like I can be one of the best in the 147-pound division. It’s there for the taking. There are some gifted fighters in there and I respect them, but I believe that I have what it takes to be right up there. I’m a complete fighter.
“He escrito antes. People have said I should retire since my first loss. I came back from that loss and became a champion. I don’t care what people have to say about me. I could go act full-time if I wanted, but I truly love this sport.
“When I took a step back, I realized that boxing has always been my true passion. I can’t walk away from something that I’m so gifted at and that I enjoy doing so much.
“I never get too worried about who is going to be in front of me on fight night. I just need there to be a ring. I’m excited to get back in there and get in the swing of things. I’m ready to fully pursue my goal of getting another world title.”

LOS ANGELES (Julio 25, 2017) – campeón mundial en cuatro divisiones Nonito Donaire unirá fuerzas con Llamar Star Sports mientras la estrella internacional del boxeo intenta agregar otro campeonato mundial a una lista ya ilustre de logros profesionales.
“Explorar lo que había en el nuevo panorama del boxeo fue desconcertante y emocionante al mismo tiempo.,” dijo Nonito Donaire, “Conozco a Richard desde hace muchos años y siempre he respetado lo que ha podido hacer por los luchadores que promueve.. En este punto de mi carrera, quiero las peleas más grandes posibles y el historial de Richard para entregarlas habla por sí mismo. La idea de las mega peleas contra los gustos de Mares, Santa Cruz, Selby o Frampton me hierven la sangre. El próximo capítulo de mi carrera comienza ahora y estoy emocionado de decir que es con Ringstar! Estoy agradecido a mis fanáticos y al equipo por su continuo apoyo.!”

Quiero agradecer a su esposa y gerente, Rachel Donaire también por la confianza que deposita en mí. No podemos esperar para ponernos en marcha!”
Nacido en Filipinas y viviendo en California., Donaire irrumpió en la escena en 2007 después de una carrera amateur estelar cuando detuvo al previamente invicto Vic Darchinyan en el quinto asalto para capturar un título mundial de peso mosca. Donaire defendería el título con tres nocauts más antes de subir al peso gallo y derrotar al campeón unificado Fernando Montiel en 2011 para convertirse en campeón mundial de dos divisiones.
El siguiente desafío de Donaire llegó en el peso súper gallo cuando lo logró 27 victorias consecutivas al derribar y derrotar a Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. en 2012 para convertirse en un campeón de 122 libras. Un año excepcional para Donaire continuó con una victoria que unificó el título sobre Jeffrey Mathebula y nocauts sobre Jorge Arce y Toshiaki Nishioka.. Después de la impresionante carrera, Donaire fue reconocido como el 2012 Luchador del año por la BWAA, ESPN y Ring Magazine.
Una derrota ante Guillermo Rigondeaux puso fin a una racha de 30 victorias consecutivas para Donaire, pero continuó aumentando su currículum mientras ganaba un título mundial en una cuarta clase de peso al ganar un campeonato de peso pluma por decisión técnica sobre Simpiwe Vetyeka en 2014.
Se agregó otro título mundial al cada vez mayor trofeo de Donaire en 2015 cuando derrotó a César Juárez para capturar un título mundial en super gallo. Defendió el título con éxito en Filipinas antes de perder una decisión cerrada ante la invicta Jessie Magdaleno en noviembre pasado..
Donaire, quien actualmente está entrenando en Japón, volverá al ring en septiembre. Se comunicarán más detalles a medida que estén disponibles.
