Die ShoBox: Die neue Generation tripleheader will feature undefeated former Russian amateur standout Dmitry Bivol (9-0, 7 KOs, 2-0 WSB) defending his interim WBA Light Heavyweight Title against Samuel Clarkson (19-3, 12 KOs) in the main event and a matchup of undefeated welterweights in the co-feature, Juan Ruiz (18-0, 11 KOs) und Malik Hawkins (10-0, 7 KOs) squaring off in an eight-round bout. Super bantamweight prospect Glenn Dezurn will meet unbeaten two-time national amateur champion Leroy Davila in the eight-round telecast opener live on SHOW TIME (10 p.m. UND/PT) .

Hurd of Accokeek, Maryland hat einen Rekord von 2-0 mit einem KO-, and is the brother of current IBF Junior Middleweight champion, Jarrett Hurd.
Die 23 year-old Justin Hurd had an 18 bout amateur career, and like his brother, he is trained by Ernesto Rodriguez.
“My training has been great I have been staying ready, and I am excited to fight at MGM National Harbor. I expect to have a lot of fans at the fight,” Said Hurd.
Being around an accomplished brother, Hurd is grateful for the success that Jarrett has achieved and has learned a lot from the journey that garnered Jarrett a world title.
“Jarrett has opened a lot of doors, but when people see us fight they will see that our styles our different. Er hat die Macht, and I go by the name of “Glatt” Justin Hurd. I like to use my combinations and I show my quickness.”
That is a sentiment that trainer Rodriguez echoes.
“Justin is different then Jarrett. He uses hand-speed, Jarrett uses his size. You will see that Justin fights in much of the same manner of Meldrick Taylor, and he mixes in some deceiving power,” sagte Rodriguez. “Justin is electric, and is calculating with good reflexes. He will be a force to be reckoned with. He is fighting at 154 Pfund jetzt, but we will slowly be taking him to 147.”
Justin Hurd considers himself a real student of the game and has followed the advice of both his big brother and trainer.
“What I have learned by watching Jarrett go through his run is to listen to our trainers. I learned that my trainers tell us what to do for good reason. In diesem Sinne, I just am ready to put on a show and am grateful to be added to the card on 14. April.”
Hurd joins Hasim Rahman, Jr., Ruben Villa and Michael Dutchover on the non-televised undercard.

WICHITA, Kansas (März 31, 2017) – Letzten Samstagabend in der Kansas Star Arena im nahe gelegenen Mulvane, 2016 Olympischer Bronzemedaillengewinner Nico Hernandez pflanzte einen Samen in der Hoffnung, Wichita zu einer Kampfstadt zu machen, als Weltmeister Terence Crawford und Deontay Wilder haben bereits in den jeweiligen Heimatstädten erreicht, Omaha (NE) und Birmingham (AL).
Mehr als 3,100 Fans kauften Tickets Hernandez’ erfolgreich professionelles Debüt, Einstellung Pat Gutierrez in der vierten Runde. Um diese Besucherzahl in die richtige Perspektive zu rücken, Wichita hat eine Bevölkerung von weniger als 400,000 und in diesem verrückten Zustand, die entsprechend benannten “KO Night Boxing: Die Geschichte beginnt” Das beliebte Quintett von Kansas Jayhawks spielte im nationalen Fernsehen in der Elite Eight der NCAA College-Basketball-Meisterschaft, sowie The Wichita Force, die zu Hause im Hallenfußball spielt.
Der 21-jährige Hernandez ist praktisch ein Sport-Franchise-Unternehmen in Wichita, an zweiter Stelle nach der Wichita State University (WSU) Herren-Basketballmannschaft. Die Stadt trat bei einer Parade zu Ehren von Hernandez nach seiner Rückkehr von den Olympischen Spielen in Kraft, und die WSU verlieh ihm ein unbefristetes vierjähriges College-Stipendium.
“KO Night Boxing: Die Geschichte beginnt” Standbildpräsentation an diesem Samstag Nacht
Die Zugabe Präsentation vom letzten Samstag “KO Night Boxing: Die Geschichte beginnt,” mit dem Pro-Debüt von 2016 Olympischer Bronzemedaillengewinner Nico Hernandez, wird Luft an diesem Samstag (April 1), ab 8:30 p.m. UND, auf CBS Sports Network.
“Die Show war ein großer Erfolg und Nico, als Profi-Kämpfer, produzierte ein vollständigeres Werk als wir erwartet hatten,” Hernandez’ Promoter John Andersen (KO Night Boxing) sagte,. “Ich war sehr beeindruckt. Sein Amateur-Hintergrund verwandelte sich in einen noch besseren Pro-Stil. Es hat wirklich sein Potenzial gezeigt und das ist einer der Hauptgründe, warum wir ihn unter Vertrag genommen haben. Wir haben wirklich an Nico geglaubt. Er ist der einzige Kämpfer, den wir unterschrieben haben, right now; Nico ist unser Stall! Wir sehen die Dinge aus einem anderen Blickwinkel als große Promotoren. Wir haben verstanden, dass er ein Held aus seiner Heimatstadt ist, Also hatten wir ihn zu Hause als Headliner bei seinem Pro-Debüt im nationalen Fernsehen (CBS Sports Network). Wir produzieren unsere Shows im Fernsehen und erzählen gerne Geschichten wie die von Nico. Wir möchten gleich wieder nach Wichita zurückkehren, wenn Nico im Juni kämpft.”
Lebenslanges Kansas Sean Wheelock, ein nicht bezahltes Mitglied der Kansas Athletic Commission, das das Boxen überwacht, Zusätzlich zu den Kämpfen am vergangenen Samstag als Mitglied des Ankündigungsteams von KO Night Boxing im CBS Sports Network, hat eine einzigartige Perspektive auf die Bedeutung des letzten Samstagabends für die lokale Boxgeschichte.
“Es war riesig für Kansas Boxen,” Wheelock erklärte, “die größte Show in diesem Zustand seit dem Tommy Morrison Epoche (Anfang bis Mitte der 90er Jahre). Morrison war ein Adoptivsohn, obwohl. Nico wurde hier geboren und hat eine tiefe Investition in die Wichita-Gemeinde. Zeichnung über 3000 für sein Pro-Debüt, in einem Nicht-Box-Markt, war phänomenal und er hat das Potenzial, das zu tun, was Crawford in Omaha und Wilder in Birmingham getan hat. Boxen hat starke Wurzeln in Kansas und im Mittleren Westen, aber MMA hat übernommen und in letzter Zeit, Das meiste Boxen in Kansas war in Hybridshows mit MMA und Kickboxen.
“Die Fans sangen laut, „Nico’ und „316’ (Wichitas Vorwahl) vor, während und nach seinem Kampf. Ich habe noch nie Fans gehört, die für eine Stadt so gesungen haben wie sie, "Wichita", für einen einzelnen Sportler. Und sie sangen auch "USA". Als gebürtiger Kansas, Ich bin stolz darauf, dass dieser Staat ethnisch und kulturell vielfältiger geworden ist und mehr Hispanics in Wichita leben. Nico engagiert sich in der hispanischen Gemeinschaft und ist ein fantastisches Kind, zu. Wegen seiner Persönlichkeit und seines Kampfstils, Er kann vor Ort aus Wichita zeichnen, in ganz Kansas, und national unter Hispanics und Amerikanern im ganzen Land wegen seiner Leistung bei den Olympischen Spielen.”
Hernandez kämpft auch in einer der heißesten Divisionen im Boxen — 115-Pfund Junior Bantamgewicht / Super Fliegengewicht — Präsentation von Namenskämpfern wie Naoya Inoue, Roman Gonzalez, Carlos Blocks, Juan Francisco Estrada und kürzlich hinzugefügt Srisaket Sor Rungvisai. Auffällig abwesend, jedoch, sind top 20 rangierte amerikanische Kämpfer in dieser Gewichtsklasse, ohne 36-jährige Brian Viloria, das viermal, Zwei-Teilung (Junior Fliegengewicht und Fliegengewicht) Weltmeister. Hernandez hat die Gelegenheit, sich schnell als herausragender amerikanischer Boxer in dieser Gewichtsklasse zu etablieren.
“Es gibt keinen Grund für Nico, ein paar Jahre außerhalb von Wichita zu kämpfen, während er sich entwickelt,” Andersen bemerkte. “Ich habe das Gefühl, dass er nächstes Jahr einen regionalen Titel gewinnen kann. Unser Ziel ist es, ihn in einer Weltmeistertitel-Kampfposition zu haben innerhalb von drei Jahren. Unser Ziel ist es, ihn zu bekommen 13 bis 15 kämpft und fördert dann einen Superkampf in Wichita. Er begann in einem Sechs-Runden-Kampf. Ich denke, er wird nur noch ein paar haben und dann bis zu Acht-Runden-Kämpfen aufsteigen.
“Nico verschwendet nicht viele Schläge, Die Anzahl der geplanten Runden ist für ihn also kein Problem. Ein anderer Kämpfer hätte sich in zwei Runden geschlagen, Zu Hause vor einer Menschenmenge kämpfen, als hätte er ihn unterstützt, aber Nico zeigte enorme Ausgeglichenheit, Sich niederlassen und seine Schläge sehr gut zusammenfügen. Er hat Gutierrez nicht verfolgt, er schnitt effektiv den Ring ab, und sein mächtiger Körperangriff war etwas, was er als Amateur nicht getan hat. Wir wollten sehen, wie er auf Widerstand reagierte und er bestand diesen Test mit Bravour.”
Andersen bemerkte, dass seine Firma mehrere erfolgreiche Shows beworben hat, Der große Unterschied ist die Show vom letzten Wochenende, in der ein Weltklasse-Kämpfer in Hernandez zu sehen war. “Die Olympischen Spiele zu machen war eine große Sache für Nico,” Andersen fügte hinzu, “ob er medaillierte oder nicht. Nico ist für uns was Manny Pacquiao ist zu Top Rank, „Canelo’ Alvarez zu Golden Boy. Wir haben das Glück, mit einem Kämpfer wie Nico zu beginnen. Kämpfe in Wichita waren ein Risiko für alle, aber es zahlt sich bereits aus.
“Wir wissen, wer und was wir als Werbefirma sind. Nico ist unsere oberste Priorität, unser einziger Kämpfer im Moment, und jetzt haben wir eine großartige Gelegenheit, den Erfolg des letzten Wochenendes auszubauen. Wir geben Nico die Aufmerksamkeit, die er verdient, und er wird diese Situation ausnutzen. Und wir haben auch festgestellt, dass es auf diesem Markt einige andere talentierte Boxer gibt. Whit Hayden hat einen wunderbaren Job gemacht und sehr wettbewerbsfähige Kämpfe geführt. Das ist seine Geschichte, Er hat nie Blowouts. Whit ist einer der kenntnisreichsten Menschen, die ich im Boxen kenne. Er ist der perfekte Matchmaker, um Nicos Karriere zu leiten, zusammen mit Nicos Vater (Cheftrainer) Lewis Hernandez, mit wem wir in vielerlei Hinsicht eng zusammenarbeiten, in und aus dem Ring.”

Cherry of Wauchula, Florida has had a smooth camp while training in the Sunshine State and is ready for the 46th start of his professional start.
“Alles ist gut, and we will be prepared for everything on 4. April,” said the 34-year-old Cherry.
“Auf 4. April, whatever Douglas brings, we will be prepared for. This is not the first time, that I’ve been in this position. He is the guy who has to prove he can perform. I have been there before, so the pressure is on him.”
Cherry has been a top contender at both the 130 und 135 Pfund Divisionen, and he even challenged for a world title at 140 Pfund. He believes there are many reasons that he has remained a viable contender who has only lost once in the last nine years and 13 Kämpfe.
“I am motivated and I believe in myself,” die Kirsche. “Those are the reasons that I am still here at the top of the 130 und 135 Abteilungen. My family gives me drive every day. 4. April will be another great fight. This is my job and I have to go out and do it well.”
Cherry believes a win should gain him another crack at a world title.
“A win definitely puts me ahead. It will open doors for better fights and better paydays. A title shot is what I want. But also a bigger money fight that will take care of my family.”
Douglas has been training at home in Delaware, has been working hard for this fight, which could be a breakthrough fight on the heels of his narrow defeat to former world champion Javier Fortuna last November.
“Alles ist groß. This has been a long camp. I have been getting great work,” sagte der 26- year-old Douglas.
“I am the better fighter. I have known about him for a long time. I watched him a lot when he fought am Freitag Night Fights.”
That fight with Fortuna was a major step up, and Douglas had a lot of positive moments, as he dropped the former champion in the 1st round, only to lose by three points on two cards and one point on a third card.
“The Fortuna fight let me know and let the people know that Omar Douglas is a world class fighter. Even in a loss, people did not expect me to do well. I thought that I showed a lot that night and I will carry that confidence into this fight on 4. April.”
Douglas believes that a win over Cherry is his path to a world title.
“I think that it is time. I just happen to be crossing paths with Cherry. This fight makes sense for me. I will let people know that I am player at 130 Pfund, and a win will earn me a title shot. I have shown that I will fight anyone. Look at the records of my previous opponents. Fortuna was 30-1 and one fight removed from being a world champion. Alexei Collado was 19-1; Frank De Alba was 17-1. So wins over those guys plus Cherry should have me right there, but I am focusing on Edner Cherry. He is a great veteran, aber doch am Dienstag night I will be victorious.”

Busy May & June for M-1 Global

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

 

ST. PETERSBURG, Russland (März 31, 2017) – M-1 Global President Vadim Finkelchtein (oben abgebildet) has announced five M-1 Challenge events to be held this May and June.
Below is a Q & A with the veteran MMA promoter:
Can you tell us about plans for upcoming M-1 Global events?
VF: “In the next 2-3 months we will promote an extremely full schedule of events. Through the middle of Junie, we will promote five – I’m not afraid to use these words – grandiose tournaments. April 22nd there’s an event being held in Nazran, which was arranged with the support of the local government, and dedicated to the 25th anniversary of Ingushetia. Auf Mai 19th, in collaboration with Rostec and Rosoboronexport corporations, we will hold a truly spectacular event in Sochi. Our traditional tournament in Orenburg is set for May 26th, which regularly takes place at the highest level with a crowded venue. Auf Junie 1st, we will hold another event in St. Petersburg as part of the International Undconomic Forum program. And already on Junie 15 – A major tournament will be held June 15th in Harbin, China, during the program of the Russian-Chinese Undxpo. Both in St. Petersburg and China, we are included in the official program, so we will be participating in truly large-scale events.”
Fans are interested in fighters whose performances will decorate these tournaments. Can you reveal some of the competing fighters?
VF: “We will really surprise the audience at these events. A lot of negotiations are ongoing, including those with fighters who are the TopP-20 ranked fighters in the world. There will also be fights involving new fighters. Natürlich, we intend to make fights that fans have been waiting for a long time. One is the is the Idrisov vs. Buchinger rematch and, natürlich, probably the most anticipated fight in Russian MMA today, Shlemenko vs Undmeev.”
The fight between Alexander Shlemenko and Ramazan Undmeev had already been postponed twice. What prevents this fight from being canceled for the third time?
VF: “The desire of the two fighters can play the major role here. Undverything has been done on our side. Alexander Shlemenko is ready for this fight. We’re waiting word back from Ramazan Undmeev. This fight is interesting for fans and we will try to make it happen. People are starting to understand more and more about MMA and we are making fights that our fans want to happen. Not only does this apply to Shlemenko und Undmeev. but for other popular fighters as well, including undefeated M-1 welterweight champion Alexey Kunchenko, top lightweight Artiom Damkovsky, Damir Ismagulov, Sergey Romanov und viele andere. We try to sign contracts with only fighters who want to be in spectacular fights. Look at the last events in Moscow. Were any of the 11 fights boring? Unterlassen Sie! Undven in undercard matches we have fighters who deliver exciting fights and often early finishes. This is the hallmark of our promotion. We do not hold uninteresting events or boring fights.”
Heute, many promotions sign fighters who were fired from UFC. Why are you not doing this?
VF: “Certainly in that way. If fighters are interesting to the Russian public and well known, we will sign him. Sonst, I believe that it is wrong to sign, sozusagen, cast-off fighters. This will not add credibility and strengthen our organization in the MMA world. We do that a different way. We build stars that UFC chases. It may be more difficult but M-1 is more respected by the West for doing it this way. Aussehen, those fighters who leave M-1 for the UFC leave because they’ve been developed through serious schooling, as we do not feed them “tomato cans” Gegner. We do not make easy fights for anybody. Marcin Tybura, Rashid Magomedov, Mairbek Taisumov, Alexey Oleinik, Islam Makhachev, Alexander Volkov, etc. All of them are our former fighters. They were not known at the beginning of their careers but now they are all doing excellent. Fighters of the other promoters who moved in UFC are often fired after a while because, here in Russia, they did not face tough opposition.”
How do you fight the departure of your fighters to the West?
VF: “Hier, I disagree with you. It used to be that way. Jetzt, to the contrary, many fighters want to perform in M-1 because it is no less prestigious than performing for Bellator, where the emphasis is on the show. Example of this are Alexander Shlemenko, Sergei Kharitonov, and others. These warriors gladly come to us and agree to fight here because the opposition in M-1 is not weak. Natürlich, regarding the departure of the fighters to the West, money plays a great role. But there are fighters who are grateful to M-1 for fame they gained. We paved the road to a greatness for them and, Folglich, they do not rush to leave M-1 anywhere.”

PHILLY PROMOTER ARTIE PELLULO: “FLANAGAN-PETROV STEALS THE SHOW AND COULD BE FIGHT OF THE YEAR!”

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar
ZUR SOFORTIGEN VERÖFFENTLICHUNG

Philadelphia, PA / Manchester, Vereinigtes Königreich (März 30, 2017)–Legendary Philadelphia fight face Artie Pellulo lands in the UK early next week confident of adding a 45th world champion to his stellar CV.
Die 61 year old Italian-American’s highly regarded lightweight Petr Petrov (38-4-2) makes a mandatory challenge to home hero ‘Turbo Terry’ Flanagan, the undefeated WBO king, at Manchester Arena am Samstag week and he looks like being frantic. BT Sport and BoxNation screen live in the UK.
Last Wednesday, Glynn Evans spoke to the Philly-based promoter.
It’s been extremely difficult to find any background info regarding Petrov’s personality. Can you enlighten us?
I’ve been promoting fighters for almost 30 Seit Jahren, einschließlich 44 world champions and I have to say that Petr is one of the nicer individuals I’ve come across; the type you’d have over your house. He’s just married the girl he’d been dating for a very long time. He’s a gentleman, a pleasure to work with.
Psychologically, how will he cope performing before thousands of baying Brits?
I’ve consistently gone on record as saying that the British fight fans are terrific. You’ll recall I had dealings with Ricky Hatton. They support their heroes like no other. But I guarantee that the crowd will not adversely affect Petrov.
Being on the road is actually like being at home for him because he’s never ever fought in Russia and hasn’t featured in his adopted homeland of Spain for five years. He’s won all six of his fights in the US and, before that, he competed in Germany, Argentina and Montenegro. I guarantee that facing a partisan crowd in Manchester will not affect his job. Tatsächlich, it will energize him, excite him.
And I’ve no problem whatsoever with the officials in the UK. Matter of fact, I won my first world title in Britain when Otis Grant outpointed Ryan Rhodes in his hometown of Sheffield for the vacant WBO Middleweight title way back in (Dezember) 1997.
Davor, my fighter Tyrell Biggs was officially ahead on the referee’s card before Gary Mason knocked him out on a Mickey Duff show at the Royal Albert Hall (Oktober 1989) and John Thompson was up on the cards before Liam Smith put him to bed at this very venue 18 months back. You always get a fair shake with the Brits.
What are Petrov’s qualities as a fighter?
I discovered him during his involvement in the ESPN Boxcino Lightweight tournament in early 2014 und, vertraue mir, between the ropes, he’s the real deal. You only have to watch his tapes to appreciate that he’s relentless, smart, can box or punch and he’s blessed with a very good eye. Petr has a real understanding of what is going on in the ring at any given moment and he can adopt accordingly. He gives a 110% effort every time.
What is your assessment of champion Flanagan? What does Petrov need to be mindful of?
I was ringside the night Terry Flanagan hammered Diego Magdaleno in two rounds because John Thompson challenged Liam Smith that night and what I saw was a very, very good fighter. Terry’s a smart southpaw who’s very tough and keeps coming. Kein Zweifel, he’ll be looking to extend his very impressive unbeaten streak.
What course did you see the fight taking? What key factor will determine the winner?
This fight steals the show and could well be Fight of the Year, seriously. It’s that good a match up. Both Terry and Petr are TV friendly and fan friendly. It’s gonna be great theatre.
There’s no main factor that distinguishes one over the other. It’ll be about how two fighters at the very top of their games handle the pressure and stay with their game plan.
Tickets für April 8 priced £50, £70, £100, £150, £200, £300 and VIP £500 are available from eventim at www.eventim.co.uk und 0844 249 1000 and the Manchester Arena at www.manchester-arena.mit und 0844 847 8000.

One of the most feared heavyweights in the world, Ortiz has worked his way into the WBA’s mandatory position to fight the winner of the Anthony Joshua-Wladimir Klitschko, who fight for Joshua’s IBF and the vacant WBA Super World Championship. The Cuban-born fighter had previously picked up the interim title in 2015 with a stoppage of Matias Ariel Vidondo and defended the title with a dominant knockout of former title challenger Bryant Jennings later that year. Last year saw Ortiz continue to run through heavyweight contenders as he earned TKO victories over Tony Thompson and David Allen plus a victory over Malik Scott.

This will be the ninth undefeated fighter that Rossy faces in his pro career.

 

Raised in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn, Serrano gravitated toward boxing from watching her older sister Cindy, also a professional fighter. She picked the sport up quickly, Anhäufung a 9-1 record during a brief amateur career in which she won the New York Golden Gloves title in 2008. The 28-year-old would go on to fight all over the world, seizing her first world title in 2011 when she defeated Kimberly Connor to grab a super featherweight belt. In 2014, she went to Argentina and defeated Maria Elena Maderna to become a world champion at lightweight. Her world title climb continued in 2016 as she stopped Olivia Gerula in the first round to capture her featherweight championship and followed that up with a victory over Alexandra Lazar to add a super bantamweight title to her collection. She most recently put on a show at Barclays Center in January when she defeated two-division champion Yazmin Rivas by unanimous decision.

 

Hier ist, was die Teilnehmer zu sagen hatte Donnerstag from Gallagher’s Steakhouse in Manhattan:

 

LUIS ORTIZ

 

“I’m not a man of many words, but yesterday was my birthday, so with that extra year of experience, I’ll speak a little bit more.

 

“I’m ready to fight right now. I’m waiting for the opportunity to fight the winner of Anthony Joshua vs. Wladimir Klitschko. They better get ready, because ‘King Kong’ will be waiting for them.

 

“I work very hard to stay in shape. All year round I am in the gym and staying ready. When the time comes and I have a fight offered, I will always be ready.

 

“My plan is to become the heavyweight champion of the world. I feel like I’m with the right team now that will open those doors for me. Wer auch immer sie vor mir setzen, I will take care of them.

 

“I love fighting in New York because there are such smart fans here who really love boxing. They love the knockout and I’m excited to be here to do my job.

 

“I’ve been working hard and waiting to get a victory on April 22. Once I get past this bout, it’s on to bigger and better things. I’ll find out everything about Rossy that I need to know on April 22 and put on a great show.

 

“Age is nothing to me. So many fighters have competed into their late age. I still have a lot left in the tank.

 

“I would love to fight Deontay Wilder. We’re both big, tough fighters. These are the kind of fights that people want to see. I know that my time will come.

 

“We’re looking forward to this new relationship and this first fight on April 22. I can’t wait to get out there in front of the fans and show my skills. I believe it will finally be time for ‘King Kong’ to come out of the jungle.”

 

Derric ROSSY

 

“When they brought the fight to me, I said let’s do it. We’re doing it right by fighting at Barclays Center.

 

“This is a real fight. Ich bin immer bereit. The fans are who pays us and they want to see a legitimate fight. This is going to be a quality matchup on April 22.

 

“I think our styles will match up well. He throws his hands well and I think I do the same. I sometimes try to be more evasive and I’m anticipating him bringing it. There might be some bull in a China shop, but then it could turn. We both adapt well in the ring.

 

“You can’t ask for anything better than this kind of fight. We’re both top-notch heavyweights and we’re going to go at it. It’s a thrill for me to be there regardless, but I think the fans are really going to be the winners.

 

“I’ve fought a lot of really good heavyweights. I won’t know how he stacks up until I get in there with him. All I know is that he’s tough, rugged and good.

 

“My situation is that I always have to stay ready in the gym. I happened to be ready when the call came and I said yes as soon as I could.

 

“I’m going to win this fight and it’s going to set up some big things. I’m in this business to get a world title. I have to go through Luis Ortiz to get there.”

 

AMANDA SERRANO

 

“I can’t wait to get back in the ring and put on a show in front of the fans. That’s what I love to do and it’ll be great to do it at Barclays Center.

 

“I’m motivated to make history. This would be my sixth world title in five weight divisions. This is a goal that my whole team has had. We want me to be the first Puerto Rican fighter to conquer five divisions. I want to be known as the girl who made history.

 

“I think every fighter wants to be known as the best in the world. If I’m not the best, I want to be one of the best. I want to be remembered and open the door for girls around the world.

 

“I’m very thankful for everyone who came out here today. This is a great opportunity for me on April 22. I’m going for history. I want this so badly. I train hard and I have a great team taking care of me.

 

“What better place to make history than at Barclays Center in Brooklyn? No matter who they put in front of me, it’s going to be a night of fireworks. I’m doing this for female boxing. I’m going to show how much talent we have. This is the one that I want more than anything. I always put on a show for my fans in Brooklyn and my eyes are on the prize.”

 

Lou DiBella, Präsident der DiBella Entertainment

 

“I’m really happy today to announce some great additions to a terrific card on April 22 in Brooklyn and live on SHOWTIME. Everyone knows the main event is a great fight in the welterweight division. We also announced a 154-pound matchup as the co-main event with Jermell Charlo vs. Charles Hatley.

 

“The biggest announcement is that a very big man, is going to be on this card. All Luis Ortiz has done as a professional fighter is knock guys out. He’s one of the most feared and avoided men in the heavyweight division. Ortiz and his team want the biggest fights out there. He knows that being seen on a card of this magnitude is a tremendous opportunity.

 

“I know that Luis Ortiz has a big victory in mind on April 22 that will propel him to a bigger fight and eventually to the biggest fights in the world. This guy deserves the opportunity.

 

“Amanda Serrano is a great champion. She’s one of the best pound-for-pound female fighters I the world today. No female fighter in history has ever won five titles in five weight classes. But it’s even more amazing, given the long history of the sport on the island, that no Puerto Rican fighter has ever become a five-division world champion. Auf April 22 Amanda Serrano will attempt to make history.

 

“Amanda has won titles as heavy as 135-pounds and now she’ll be fighting at 118-pounds. That’s an amazing achievement. She’s always fought the best out there and she’s always proven that she is the best. She deserves the attention she’s getting. She may be the best fighter I promote, Zeit. This woman stands should-to-shoulder with any of them.”

 

“I know that Derric Rossy is going to give a test to Ortiz. But he’s never been predicted to win. Every time I watch his fight against Bermane Stiverne, I saw him winning the fight. This guy is a real professional and he deserves this opportunity.

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive VP & Hauptgeschäftsführer, Showtime Sports

 

“We’re thrilled to be here announcing such a fantastic undercard from top to bottom. Amanda Serrano is looking to become the first woman and Puerto Rican to win world titles in five weight classes. A card this deep, you know that it is a SHOWTIME card.

 

“These are the kind of cards that SHOWTIME, Lou DiBella and Barclays Center are working on every day. This was a good event and now it is a great event.”

 

BRETT Yormark, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Unterhaltung

 

“It’s been a special start to the year for Brooklyn Boxing. You think about Januar 14 and March 4 and what great nights those were. Now we have April 22 and it has become a special card. We’re excited about what we’re building in Brooklyn. We’re making great strides.

 

“I want to welcome Luis Ortiz to Barclays Center for the first time. I’m sure it will be a special night. We’re thrilled to welcome back Amanda Serrano as well for what should be a historic night.

 

“We’re going to continue to put on the biggest and best events we can. It’s been a great start to the year and we’re looking forward to more to come.”

Palm Springs Boxing Gala Rescheduled for May 20th; Fighter Injuries Delaying Scheduled Matchups

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar
ZUR SOFORTIGEN VERÖFFENTLICHUNG

Thousand Palms, SOWIE (März 29, 2017) — The much anticipated showdown between rising Liveco boxer Max “Die allgemeine” Becerra and Washington’s Ricardo Maldonado will have to wait a little longer.
Santa Ana’s Becerra (11-2-2 7KOs) has been diagnosed with a minor hand injury that has interrupted his training for the scheduled April 22 bout that was the featured fight of the Palm Springs Boxing Gala am Renaissance Hotel. The event will now take place on Samstag, Mai 20 with the same fight card.
The postponement also gives Liveco stablemate Pomona’s David “Left Hook” Lopez (4-0 3KOs) more time to heal while nursing a hand injury also sustained in training.

Liveco Boxing founder Ron Sanderson said, “In light of these injuries, we thought it would be best for our boxers and our fans to postpone the Gala rather than scramble together fights at the last minute or drop a fighter from the card. Injuries are a part of boxing. These boxers are significant players in the Liveco family and we want them to be healthy and uncompromised for their fights.”

Sanderson said Lopez and Becerra’s hand issues are not considered major injuries, but after further medical evaluation, their trainers decided it would be better for them to fully heal and train appropriately rather than put their fighters at risk.

The May 20 event is the second of a series of Boxing Galas planned by Liveco Boxing featuring its fighters in Palm Springs. Also scheduled to fight on the undercard that evening are the Bay Area’s Eric “El Gallo de Oro” (9-0 6KOs) and Daniel “El Pantera” Andujo (3-1-0 1KO) from Murrieta along with other California talent.

Becerra and Lopez dispatched their opponents at the first Palm Springs Boxing Gala with tremendous showings in front of a packed house. Both are looking to continue their streak in the Coachella Valley as is Andujo who also collected a win at the Gala in February before signing with Liveco.

Becerra said he was anxious and ready for his first fight as a headliner, especially in his home state. “This is going to be a huge night for me and my team. But I know I need to be patient and get my hand back in shape before I can continue chasing my dream.”
