Ringstar Sports Adds Amateur Star Money Powell IV to Growing Collection of Fighters Signed with Company

LOS ANGELES (Janeiro 10, 2017) – The rapidly-growing promotional company Chamada Star Sports has added another fighter with star potential to their growing roster, as super welterweight standout Money Powell IV has signed to join the company led by longtime boxing executive Richard Schaefer.
We’re excited to add a young man with the skills, amateur pedigree and demeanor of Money Powell IV and we think he’s going to be a great addition to the Ringstar family,” said Richard Schaefer, Chairman and CEO of Ringstar Sports. “This is an incredibly talented young man who is ambitious and has a great mindset heading into the professional ranks. He has proven to be a winner throughout his amateur career and we believe that his skills, combined with the right promotion, can turn him into a big star in the sport. I know that he wants to be the best and I plan on helping him reach those goals.
When I was presented with the opportunity to sign with Richard and Ringstar Sports, I knew that it was a chance to achieve my dreams,” said Powell IV. “Richard is one of the most successful figures in the sport and I know that with him, I can go far. I want to be the greatest fighter that’s ever lived, but I also want to be remembered as a positive figure. I hope someday I can do for other people what Richard is doing for me. I’m going to be a champion inside and outside of the ring.
The 18-year-old Powell IV was born in Germany, where his former boxer father was stationed in the military. He was passionate about boxing from an early age, but was never able to fully dedicate himself because his family moved back and forth between Germany and the U.S. frequently. Em 2011 the family landed for good at Fort Mitchell, on the border of Alabama and Georgia, and Powell began training at the Game Bred Boxing Club and saw his amateur career take off.
His first tournament victory came in 2014 when he won the Junior Open Welterweight Championship and finished the year as the number one ranked welterweight by USA Boxing. He continued to add titles as he won the 2015 Ringside World Welterweight Championship and the 2016 Youth Welterweight National Championship to earn the top ranking in the 152-pound division by USA Boxing.
I’m a boxer-puncher but I’m also a big-time thinker in the ring,” said Powell IV. “I take my time and capitalize off of mistakes. I’ve been able to meet and work with my boxing idol, Roy Jones Jr., and he’s given me encouragement and advice that has meant the world to me. Mark my words, I will be the greatest fighter of all-time.
Powell IV will turn pro and campaign as a super welterweight after 83 lutas amadoras, including recently participating in the AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships in Russia.

I’m back at home and excited to get back in the ring,” Disse Broner. “Eu estou pronto para lutar. The boxing game isn’t the same without me. Granados is a solid guy who beat someone that no one thought he would beat. I know him well and I know there’s no doubt he’ll be ready to fight.
I’m fully prepared to go to war with Adrien Broner on February 18 em Cincinnati,” Disse Granados. “I’m very thankful to Tom Brown of TGB promotions and my manager Andy Zak for helping me get this big opportunity on SHOWTIME. I’m training hard and I will come out victorious on fight night.

Aos 27 anos de idade, Broner is one of the most accomplished and outspoken young stars in the sport today. After picking up world titles at 130, 135 e 147 libras, Broner earned a belt in a fourth weight division in October 2015 when he defeated tough Russian Khabib Allakhverdiev via a stoppage in the 12th and final round in his last hometown appearance. Broner boasts a 9-1 record in world title fights on his way to picking up belts in four weight divisions. He will be fighting in his hometown for the 15th time in a pro career that has seen him defeat the likes of Paulie Malignaggi, Daniel Ponce De Leon, Ashley Theophane, John Molina Jr., Antonio DeMarco and Gavis Rees. Broner compiled a 300-19 amateur record under the guidance of his trainer Mike Stafford, who continues to train him throughout his pro career.
A tough fighter representing Chicago, Granados enters this fight on a five-bout winning streak, including his impressive stoppage over then unbeaten top contender Amir Imam in November 2015. Mais recentemente, the 27-year-old dominated Ariel Vasquez over eight rounds in July. Granados has picked up wins over previously unbeaten fighters Mark Salser, Antonio Canas, Antton Slaughter and Imam. Granados’ defeats have all come in close contests and by either split or majority decisions. With a win over Broner, Granados can position himself for his first career world title shot.

Aqui está o que os lutadores tinham a dizer Quarta-feira:

 

JACK Badou

 

“I’m just trying to stay positive and enjoy this moment. I wish that the fight was amanhã noite. But we’re showing patience and bracing for the opportunity.

 

“This is the biggest fight of my career and I’m ready to take it to the next level. I have the experience to be on this stage and I’m ready to show that I’m one of the best in the sport.

 

“I’ve seen DeGale fight a few times. His last couple of fights I don’t think we’ve seen the best of him. I want the best James DeGale to show up on fight night. There won’t be any excuses on fight night.

 

“I’m in the best shape of my life. I’m pretty sure he’s in the best shape of his life too. So let’s see who is the best.

 

“I’m going in there to break him down. I’m going to be the better fighter. If I get an opportunity to land something that can change the fight, I’m going to take my chance.

 

“This has been one of the best training camps of my career. My nutrition is better than it’s ever been and I have positive people around me.

 

“I believe I can knock anybody out who gets in the ring with me. If you don’t believe that in yourself, then you’re in the wrong sport. I’m not expecting an easy fight, but I’ll do whatever it takes to win.

 

“My trainer Lou Del Valle is the reason that I’ve improved so much. I brought him back in after my loss and he’s helped get me to where I am right now.

 

“There is no doubt we’ll know who the best super middleweight in the world is after Sábado noite. "

 

James Degale

 

“I just flew to New York na segunda-feira after a brilliant camp. I’ve been training well and sparring hard. I’ve had some great work on the track and I’ve ran a lot of miles. Estou em forma fantástica.

 

“This fight has a different feel. I feel like I’m in a big fight. I feel like I’m on a different level of fitness for this one. Mind, body and soul. Tudo é grande.

 

“I’m mentally prepared. Badou Jack is an extremely good fighter. He’s a tough opponent. He gets better every single fight. The way I’m feeling right now, Badou Jack shouldn’t beat me. I’m focused on fighting my very best.

 

“I’ve sacrificed a lot to put myself in this position and to make sure this was a great camp. Now the time is here.

 

“To have a media day in Brooklyn is great. I’m in a fantastic position in my life and career. I’m more comfortable than I was years ago. Back in the day I wouldn’t know what to say. I’m a man now and I’m ready to reach my destiny.

 

“Movement, speed and angles are my keys. If I’m focused and take no rounds off, that should do it. It will do it. Qualquer coisa pode acontecer no boxe, but I’m too prepared for this.

 

“I look at Badou Jack, and even though he’s been getting better, I think I’m a much better fighter. He’s very high quality and I have to be on my game. Vai ser uma grande luta, but I will be victorious.

 

“My loss to George Groves was a blessing in disguise. If that didn’t happen to me, I don’t know where I would be in my career. I was too big for my boots back then. I thought I was the golden boy and I was humbled. I had to rebuild and I came back.”

 

Jose Pedraza

 

“I let [Gervonta] Davis do the talking. I like when people talk like that, because I get to shut them up on the night of the fight. He’s a Floyd Mayweather imitation. Just like all imitations, it’s not as good as the real one.

 

“I’m very happy to be here representing Puerto Rico in New York City with another Puerto Rican champion in Amanda Serrano. She’s a four-time champion who is very accomplished and it’s an honor to be on this card with her.

 

“I feel ready to fight. I’m anxious to get in the ring. Eu não posso esperar para Sábado night and to show the whole world what I’m made of.

 

“I have the advantage in experience and in reach and height. He’s going to try to bring pressure but I’ll be ready for it.

 

“Not only do I have more pro experience, but more amateur experience as well. All of these years of being on the big stage is going to help me in the fight.

 

“I don’t think I’m underrated. People know my quality, which is why people avoid fighting me. I believe I’m the best fighter at 130-pounds.

 

“I’m ready for any type of fight. A questão é, will Davis be ready? If Davis gets tired, he’s going to have trouble in the late rounds.”

 

GERVONTA DAVIS

 

“I feel great right now. I’m in tip-top shape. I had the best sparring available and everything went smoothly. I’m ready to go to work Janeiro 14.

 

“We know that Pedraza is a world champion who comes in undefeated. He does a lot of good things in the ring but we’ll be ready for them come fight night.

 

“It feels good to be on this stage. I feel ready to headline my own card. I’m ready to do my own thing and that comes with winning this world title.

 

“I haven’t watched too much of him, but my team is prepared. He doesn’t have anything I haven’t seen before. We just have to execute the game plan when the bell rings.”

 

YAZMIN RIVAS

 

“I know that I’m up against a girl who is a heavy hitter and can punch hard. I’ve been training extremely hard to prepare for this fight because I know I’m facing a dangerous fighter. I just need to maintain my weight up until fight night.

 

“I’ve trained with a lot of southpaws to prepare for Serrano’s style. It’s only the second time I’ve faced a southpaw. I come in with a game plan, but once you step in that ring, I know that anything can happen.

 

“I’m a veteran and I have the experience. Serrano will have to overcome my advantage there.

 

“I’m excited to be fighting in the U.S. and I know that this is a huge opportunity. Fighting on television is something I have to take advantage of. Depois dessa luta, people will really see what female boxing is all about.

 

“I’m very motivated and excited that I have the chance to fight in Brooklyn in the best city in the U.S. for boxing. I’m going to come to fight. I won’t back down and we will be in the middle of the ring exchanging.”

 

IEVGEN KHYTROV

 

“I’ve seen Aleem fight and he’s nothing special. He’s very fast. He does everything very quickly. But he can be hit. He has a little bit of power, but I can hit him.

 

“I’m going to take advantage of his mistakes. I’m ready for this fight and I’m going for the knockout. This isn’t going to be a long fight. I think I will knock him out in five or six rounds.

 

“I’m an aggressive fighter. I want to brawl. I want to throw a lot of punches. I’m happy if I can throw 100 punches in a round. Nobody can take that kind of punishment and it helps me get my opponent out of there.

 

“I’m happy to be fighting in Brooklyn at Barclays Center. It’s very important to my career. After this fight I am going to get big steps up and big names. I’m going to show what I can do no sábado.

 

“I want to fight for a real world title. I’m ready for it and I just want to face good opponents and challenge myself.”

 

IMMANUWEL ALEEM

 

“This has been a great training camp. I have George Peterson in my corner and he made Paul Williams a three-time champion. He’s putting me through the same regimen that made him one of the most feared fighters in the sport.

 

“I don’t know too much about my opponent. We have a game plan based around him being some type of bull, but my trainer is the one analyzing that, and then we go from there.

 

“I bring the total package into the ring. Não há nada que eu não posso fazer. I can box and I can brawl. Mais importante, I can make adjustments during a fight.

 

“A win here will really stamp who I am in this sport. We’re leading to become a world champion. I’m not a regular fighter in there. I can beat these top guys.”

 

JULIAN SOSA

 

“I can honestly say that this is one of the best training camps that I’ve had. I’m both nervous and excited. I’m nervous because I’ve never had a training camp like this and I’m excited to see how I feel in the ring.

 

“I’ve seen a few tapes of my opponent. He’s a very aggressive fighter who throws a lot of right hands. I have to prepare myself for that. If he wants to start early or take his time, I’m ready for anything.

 

“I’m very confident heading into this fight. I believe that I will put on a great performance and possibly the best of my career.

 

“I’m very thankful to be fighting at home in Brooklyn and I’m humbled to have the opportunity to perform at Barclays Center once again. There’s no better feeling than having your friends and family cheering you on.

B173_1920x1080

The former Bellator MMA light heavyweight champion will enter the cage for the 10th time under the Scott Coker-led promotion, where he has posted an 8-1 record with seven finishes. Following an 11-fight winning streak to begin his professional career, McGeary finally experienced the sour taste of defeat, quando Phil Davis wrestled the title away from him at ‘Bellator 163.’ McGeary has consistently proven to be one of the most dangerous strikers and submission artists in the 205-pound division, finishing his victim in 10 de 11 vitórias na carreira, including eight in the opening frame.

Now the SBG Ireland product will look to make a splash in his first fight with Bellator MMA, as he prepares for the former division kingpin.

 

Hailing from nearby Straban, Irlanda, the 20-year-old Gallagher is one of the brightest stars in all “The Emerald Island.” At age 15, “The Strabanimal” moved away from home to join Coach John Kavanagh at Straight Blast Gym (SBG), where he now trains alongside the best fighters in the country including Connor McGregor.

SHOWTIME SPORTS® ANUNCIA DOCUMENTÁRIO ORIGINAL “LUTADORES DE PRISÃO: 5 Rodadas para a liberdade ”

 

Filme examina prática controversa de prisioneiros tailandeses que lutam por sua liberdade

TRAILER LINK: http://s.sho.com/2iZJLSt

Premieres Sexta-feira, Fevereiro 24 em 8:30 p.m. E/PT no canal Showtime®

NOVA IORQUE (Jan. 9, 2017)—SHOWTIME Sports® anunciou um novo documentário poderoso, PRISÃOLUTADORES: 5 Rodadas para a liberdade, que examina uma prática polêmica no sistema de justiça criminal da Tailândia, em que os presos podem ganhar sua liberdade vencendo uma série de lutas de Muay Thai. Uma produção original da SHOWTIME Sports, o filme de 90 minutos vai estrear em Sexta-feira, Fevereiro. 24 em 8:30p ET / PT em SHOWTIME.

 

O programa de reabilitação patrocinado pelo estado, popularmente conhecido como Prison Fight, não é reservado para pequenos criminosos. Abaixo da lei, criminosos violentos, incluindo aqueles condenados por assassinato e agressão sexual, foram libertados e, em alguns casos, totalmente absolvidos de seus crimes por meio de sua participação em brigas na prisão.

 

“Esta história é diferente de tudo que já encontramos,"Disse Stephen Espinoza, Vice-Presidente Executivo e Gerente Geral, Showtime Sports. “A redenção é uma metáfora comum em histórias de esportes, mas esta é uma história sobre redenção e reabilitação reais, com prisioneiros literalmente lutando pela libertação da prisão. Este filme traz aos espectadores uma história pessoal de crime e punição, contra um debate social sobre o significado da justiça, reabilitação e a oportunidade de uma segunda chance. ”

 

Narrado por Ron Perlman, PRISON FIGHTERS centra-se na história de Noy Khaopan, um assassino condenado a cumprir pena na prisão de Khao Prik, na Tailândia. Os espectadores acompanharão a jornada de Noy por Prison Fight e ouvirão sua família, bem como da família de coração partido da vítima de Noy. Em última análise, A liberdade de Noy repousa em uma luta final, o que coloca uma questão crítica: Homens violentos podem se redimir por meio de atos violentos?

 

Mas enquanto Noy e outros presos lutam literalmente por sua liberdade, o programa Prison Fight também atraiu lutadores profissionais de Muay Thai de todo o mundo, ansiosos para se testar neste ambiente único. Cody Moberly americano de Wichita, Maio., um lutador profissional treinando e competindo na Tailândia com uma história de redenção própria, serve como oponente de Noy na luta final de apostas altas.

 

O filme também se concentra no ex-boxeador campeão mundial “Oh” Sirimongkol Singwangcha, que agora dirige um centro de treinamento nos arredores de Bangkok. Uma vez considerado Manny Pacquiao da Tailândia, “Oh” foi condenado por porte de drogas anos antes, mas conquistou o seu caminho para a liberdade através do sistema Prison Fight.

 

LUTADORES DE PRISÃO: 5 Rounds To Freedom é produzido por Sports Emmy® vencedor do prêmio Jason Bowers, escrito pelo escritor e ganhador do prêmio Sports Emmy Mark Kriegel e dirigido por Micah Brown. LUTADORES DE PRISÃO: 5 Rounds To Freedom está entre vários documentários distintos e provocativos disponíveis no SHOWTIME. Outros títulos recentes incluem “CORRENDO POR SUA VIDA: A história de Lawrence Phillips ”; "1 & FEITO" (Ben Simmons); “KOBE BRYANT'S MUSE,”“ IVERSON,”“ JOGUE PARA A FRENTE ” (Tony gonzalez), “EU SOU GIGANTE: Victor Cruz,”“ O DREW ” (Baron Davis), e “DEAN SMITH”.
