MIDDLEWEIGHT BOUT PITTING JOHN SALTER AGAINST CLAUDIO ANNICCHIARICO ADDED TO MAIN CARD OF BELLATOR MMA’S RETURN TO ITALY

SANTA MONICA, CALIF (Studeni 1, 2016) – A light heavyweight bout pitting Philipe Lins (10-1) protiv Pietro Cappelli (2-1) and a middleweight fight between John Salter (12-3) a Claudio Annicchiarico (1-4) have been added to "Bellator 168: Carvalho vs. Manhoef 2,” which will feature both Bellator MMA and Bellator Kickboxing brands emanating from the Mandela Forum in Florence on Dec. 10.

The evening is highlighted by a main event middleweight world title rematch pitting Rafael Carvalho (13-1) protiv Melvin Manhoef (30-13-1, 2 NC). Dodatno, Italy’s own Alessio Sakara (18-11, 2 NC) a Joey “The Mexicutioner” Beltran (17-13, 1 NC) will duke it out in a light heavyweight feature fight. "Bellator 168: Carvalho vs. Manhoef 2” will air on SPIKE at 4PM ET/PT.

A native of Florence, Italija, Cappelli has made an immediate splash in MMA, earning consecutive victories following his professional debut in 2015. Cappelli’s first career win came at the expense of Andrzej Kulik, when the 32-year-old delivered a brutal first round knockout. He then parlayed the emphatic victory with another first round finish, displaying his noteworthy ground game with a keylock submission just one minute and one second into the bout. With a noticeable message reading “unscarred” across his stomach, the Italian competitor prepares to dive in head first with a challenging matchup against the veteran Lins in his Bellator MMA debut.

The 31-year-old Lins will enter the cage for the 12th time in his career and fifth since making his Bellator MMA debut in 2014. Podrijetlom iz Brazila, Lins began his professional career on a nine-fight winning streak, finishing opponents in seven of the victories. “Monstro” has recorded a trio of significant victories since joining the Scott Coker-led promotion, including two first round finishes and his most recent knockout win over fellow Brazilian competitor William Viana na "Bellator 159: Caldwell vs.. Taimanglo.” Lins hopes to build off of his big win and silence a crowd that will be heavily in favor of his Italian opponent Cappelli.

Fresh off of his first career victory, a first round knockout over Ilyrian Hoxhay, the 32-year-old Annicchiarico looks to continue his success when he enters the cage for the first time under the direction of Bellator MMA. The Italian middleweight will face a difficult first test in Salter, a 15-fight veteran that hasn’t been defeated since 2012. With a pair of submission defeats to Salter’s name, look for Annicchiarico to take the fight to the ground and grind it out there.

The former Strikeforce competitor Salter will make his third appearance under the Bellator MMA banner, after recording victories in his first two bouts with the promotion. He is riding a recent string of success, having won four consecutive contests and seven of his past eight. Over his seven-year career, the 31-year-old Nashville, Tenesi, native has collected a dozen professional victories, recording finishes in all. With nine of his 12 career wins coming in the opening round of action, Salter is known to be one of the quickest strikers in the division and most recently finished former middleweight champion Brandon Halsey.

th CARD AT THE MONTREAL CASINO
MONTREAL (Studeni 1, 2016) – The “GYM 2016-2017 BOXING SERIES” at the Montreal Casino Cabaret, a PRESENTATION OF MISE-O-JEU, IN COLLABORATION WITH VIDEOTRON, will host its second card of the 2016 season and 50th since 2004 O Subota, Prosinac 10. World Boxing vijeće (WBC) Silver champion and WBC #1 svjetlo teškoj kandidat, Eleider “Oluja” Alvarez (20-0, 10 Kos), will face tough-as-nail Polish fighter Norbert “Noras” Dabrowski (19-5-1, 7 Kos).

Dabrowski, a southpaw who has never lost by knockout during his career, will come to Montreal to try and spoil the party. U svom posljednjem izlet, he shattered the perfect record of his countryman. Marek Matyja (11-0).
In his only fight outside of Poland, Dabrowski delivered a strong opposition May 2, 2015 to German Dominic Boesel (18-0), losing by a close 10-round unanimous decision (113-115, 111-116, 110-117) to a rival who was then and remains the World Boxing Organization (WBO) #2 rated light heavyweight in the world, kao i # 8 the WBC.
Alvarez, a Colombian Olympian at the Beijing Games, he won the WBC Silver light heavyweight title August 25, 2014 u Monaku, defeating South African Ryno Liebenberg (16-0-0). Lipnja 12, 2015, U Chicagu, na Premier Boks prvaka series event, Alvarez knocked out Ukrainian Anatolij Dudchenko(19-3) u drugom krugu.
“Oluja” then faced strong opposition, Paraguayan slugger Isidro Prieto Ranoni (24-0-3), Kolovoz 15, 2015, u Bell Centru u Montrealu. After a tough brawl, the Montreal’s adoptive son Alvarez was declared the winner by unanimous decision.

Alvarez went on to beat top contenderIsaac Marko (24-2-2), Malavi, in a WBC light heavyweight elimination bout November 28, 2015, by way of a majority decision, at the Videotron Centre in Quebec City,
U svom posljednjem izlet, this pat Srpanj 29 at the Videotron Centre, Alvarez dominated solid New Zealand southpaw Robert Berridge (27-4-1) to earn a clear win by unanimous decision.
“I am happy to come back to the Montreal Casino, where I had my first three pro fights,” Alvarez said. “I asked my team to keep me active and to also evaluate what I do well and what I do badly against southpaws. I want to be fully ready for Adonis Stevenson and become the first Colombian light heavyweight champion of the world!,”
This coming fight will most likely be Alvarez’ last outing before fighting Stevenson, the WBC light heavyweight world champion in 2017. Dabrowski is a strong and durable southpaw, who will be an excellent test for Alvarez before he faces the champion.
“It was at the insistence of his team that Alvarez will jump in the ring on Prosinac 10,” Predsjednik GYM Yvon Michel navedeno.
“Waiting for his world title fight, Eleider is not afraid to risk his lofty position in the rankings to give himself the best conditions for success when his time comes. Dabrowski has never been stopped and gave the # 2 WBO ranked fighter all he could handle last year. He is also a southpaw. It is logical to anticipate a captivating fight on December 10th. We have an exciting card for our 50th event at the Montreal Casino. The boxing fans will be the big winners!”
A real challenge for Dicaire
The charismatic Marie-Eve Dicaire (5-0, 0 Kos), of St-Eustache, Kanada, will fight in the co-main event of the evening. She will face the biggest challenge of his career against former North American Boxing Federation (NABF) velter šampion, Meksikanac Paty “La Elegante” Ramirez (11-2, 5 Kos).
Zanimljivo, the two boxers are ranked 11th in the world by the WBC: Dicaire at welterweight (147 lb), Ramirez at super welterweight (154 lb).
Marie-Eve will look to continue her strong momentum in the pro ranks. In her last outing (Listopada. 20), she delivered a stunning performance, also at the Montreal Casino Cabaret, where she clearly feels at home. She then defeated Mexican Karla Zamora (3-2-0) jednoglasnom odlukom.
If she is successful, it will be her last six-round fight before moving to an eight- round bouts in February.
“It is a close date for me since I fought October 20 but I am coming back from a week of vacation,” Dicaire remarked. “Tako, I am fully ready to start my training camp. My last fight was a war that the crowd really liked, where I gave a little more while neglecting my defense. For this bout, I am sure that I will be able to show my real potential.”
“In only her fifth bout,” Michel je dodao, “Marie-Eve was already world ranked. She will eventually fight for a world title having everything it takes to do so. Također, women’s boxing has boomed lately, since females can box in the Olympic Games.”
Lafrenière and Phinn also in action
If the Alvarez and Dicaire fights weren’t enough to guarantee a very entertaining evening Prosinca. 10, also scheduled to fight on the card are two very popular boxers in Quebec, Franjo
Lafrenière a Shakeel Pen.
Lafrenière (12-5-2, 7 Kos), the charismatic International Boxing Federation (IBF) International middleweight champion, will make his debut at the Cabaret du Casino. Prozvan, “The People champ,” Lafrenière is known for his aggressive and uncompromising boxing style.
He first became Canadian middleweight champion June 28, 2014, in Lachine, by winning a unanimous decision over Paul Bzdel (5-4-1) from Saskatchewan. He then won his IBF International middleweight title in a furious fight last Siječanj 30 against Quebecer Renan St-Juste (26-4-1) at the Bell Centre, which many consider the Fight of the Year.
Lafrenière is currently on a nine-fight win streak. He counts on extending it to 10 na Prosinca. 10. His opponent will be announced within days.
“I had my first pro fight here at the Montreal Casino and I had a draw,” the optimistic Lafrenière commented. “Thanks to GYM for giving me the opportunity for redemption. I had a solid brawl with Renan St-Juste, but I am ready to deliver another one this bout.”
Pero (10-1, 6 Kos), the Canadian super middleweight champion,is a familiar face to the Casino boxing fans. A protégé of former boxer Ian MacKillop, he won his title last Veljače. 27 in Saskatchewan by defeating Paul Bzdel (5-7-1).
U svom posljednjem izlet, listopada 15 in New Brunswick, Phinn knocked out New Brunswick fighter Tom Vautour (2-0). It will also be his second appearance at the Montreal Casino Cabaret this year having defeated Mexican opponent Jaudiel Zepeda (12-14-1) prošli Svibanj 24.

For its 13th year, GYM repeated this formula where the proximity of the action, the warm and electrifying ambiance, as the intensity of the fights, provide a unique experience.
Dodatno, at each gala, you will receive a private invitation to mingle with the athletes and observers in a bar of the Casino exclusively for this purpose.
Prosinac 10 will be the 50th event presented by GYM at the Montreal Casino.
Bivši svjetski prvaci Joachim Alcine (seven times), Otis Grant (four times), Leonard Dorin (once), Adrian Diaconu (once, Bute (once), Jean Pascal (nine times), David Lemieux (14 puta), William Joppy (protiv Sebastien Demers), and the current WBC and lineal world light heavyweight champion Adonis “Nadčovjek” Stevenson (six times), have all fought at the Montreal Casino Cabaret.
The WBC super middleweight elimination bout between Otis Grant a LIBRADO Andrade (Travanj 8, 2006), and the spectacular clash between Herman Ngoudjo a Emanuel Augustus (Listopada. 15, 2005) are among the best memories for Quebec boxing fans.

KOVALEV-WARD “POUND FOR POUND”

SET FOR Subota, Studeni 19

AT T-MOBILE ARENA IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

Predstavljen uživo HBO pay-per-view®

OAKLAND, KAO ŠTO (Studeni 1, 2016) – On Monday, Listopad 31, 2016, Two-Time World Champion Andre “S.O.G.” Ward (30-0, 15 Kos) participated in a media workout in Hayward, California ahead of his pound-for-pound showdown against WBO, WBA and IBF Light Heavyweight World Champion Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev (30-0-1, 26 Kos). Kovalev-Ward “Pound For Pound” takes place Subota, Studeni. 19 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Događaj će se proizvoditi i distribuirati uživo HBO Pay-Per-View početkom u 9:00 poslije podne. I/6:00 poslije podne. PT.

 

Ward put on a full workout session for the media in attendance, consisting of a series of shadow boxing, heavy bag, double end bag, speed bag and then stretching. Also on hand were youths from Camp Sweeney, Alameda County Probation Department’s residential facility in San Leandro, whom Ward spent time speaking with following the workout.

 

Below is what Ward had to say during the media workout:

 

ANDRE WARD, Two-Time World Champion:

 

“I feel that this fight with Kovalev is 50-50. That’s how I approach all of my big fights. I don’t go into the fight thinking, ‘I’ve got a clear-cut advantage here’ or ‘I’ve got to run through this guy.’ Personally, za mene, I can’t roll like that. I’ve got to keep myself honest, stay on my grind, keep my head down and force myself to keep working. I truly believe Kovalev is everything they say he is, and I’m everything that I’ve shown over the years.

 

“There are always different game plans, nuances, different things you’re working on but I respect every fight that I fight. I don’t get caught up in the whole puncher thing, anybody can get you out of there if you get hit right. I don’t think I’d be sitting here in this position right now if I hadn’t had these highs and lows. We’ve got to find a way to get it done, and we’re going to find a way to get it done. I don’t care what he’s got in his gloves, who he’s knocked out or what he’s done. My job is to get my hand raised, and that’s what we’re focused on.

 

“I have days where I do some type of cardio in the morning – sprints, distant running – then go back to training camp to get some rest and eat. Then we come to the gym and spar and hit the heavy bag. It’s a monotonous process when you’re in training camp, and that’s pretty much every day. Of course we take days off to rest the body and be smart, but it’s really the same thing every day. As you get closer, you start to pull back a little bit so you don’t over train. That’s normally the week of the fight, so up until the Subota prije borbe, you’re full steam ahead. 100 miles an hour.

 

“Typically, Virgil and I will go through our process together. He watches a lot more film than I do. He’s up until 3:00 a.m.ili 4:00 a.m. watching film. As I’ve gotten older, I watch less film. I don’t need to see 10 fights to see tendencies and certain things. I know what I need to see. I may go back and watch a round here and there, but I try and leave room for my instincts. I’m very instinctual. You’ve got to be able to think on the fly thinking on the highest level. I leave room for that. It’s not a checklist you go down. You can’t get into a ring thinking like that. I just believe that who I am and what I have is enough, and that’s what I’m standing on.

 

“Having young guys like Shakur Stevenson around, it starts to make me feel old because I used to be that guy at Roy Jones’s camp, Floyd Mayweather’s camp, hanging around Bernard Hopkins. You see yourself in them. It’s a little weird, because you’re like, ‘man, now I’m the OG.’ But it’s also a beautiful thing because we need more of that. We need champions and top contenders and just fighters in general to open up the door and allow the young guys on the way to be shown how it’s done.

 

“I’m honored for Claressa Shields to say that I am her idol. I admire her story, what she’s come from, and think that she’s amazing in the ring. She’s the real deal. I watch her, I pick up things from her. For her to have two Gold medals is amazing. For her to make her pro debut on this fight card is a beautiful, beautiful thing. I think it’s a perfect situation.

 

“It’s a beautiful thing to be fighting in Vegas. Uzbuđen sam. What better time than now in this stage in my career. I’m just excited to continue to prepare so I can do my part to give the fans their money’s worth, those that pay to be there and those paying to watch it. That’s what I’m focused on, and I’m extremely happy to be a part of it. T-Mobile is a new arena, and a new chapter, and to be a part of it is a beautiful thing.”

 

 

Kovalev vs. Štićenik “Pound For Pound”, a 12-round mega-fight for the WBO/IBF/WBA light heavyweight title at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, is presented by Main Events, Roc Nation Sports, Krusher Promotions and Andre Ward Promotions and is sponsored by the MGM Grand Hotel & Kasino, Corona Extra, Zappos and JetLux.

Chicago Welterweight Looks to Defeat Another Unbeaten Boxer When He Faces Taras Shelestyuk in Main Event Of ShoBox: Nova generacija Tripleheader, Ovaj petak, Studeni. 4, Live on SHOWTIME®

Ostavite komentar
NEW YORK (Studeni. 1, 2016) – Jimmy “Istina” Herrera is accustomed to entering the ring as an underdog. The Chicago native is experienced in fighting favored prospects and contenders on the road and has had an inordinate success in these types of matchups, having defeated unbeaten prospects in four of his last nine fights.

So don’t expect Herrera (15-3-1, 8 Kos) to be in awe of his opponent, former Ukraine amateur standout and rising star, Taras Shelestyuk (14-0, 9 Kos) when they meet this Petak, Studeni. 4, in the 10-round welterweight main event on ShoBox: Nova generacijaživjeti SHOWTIME® (10:30 poslije podne. I/PT, odgođeno na Zapadnoj obali) na Omega Products Event Center u Kruna, Kalif.

The 5-foot-10, 27-year-old Herrera has won three in a row and is 8-1-1 since dropping a close eight-round decision to Adrian Granados u veljači 2012. One of those victories was an upset seventh-round TKO over one-time highly ranked welterweight and world title challenger Mikrofon “Mitraljez” Jones on Aug. 23, 2014.

Herrera is promoted by Hitz Boxing and co-managed by Cameron Dunkin and Mike Cericola.

Here are Herrera’s responses to a recent Q&A:

What are your thoughts going into your ShoBox debut?
“Ja sam uvijek za izazov, so I’m really excited about this opportunity. I’m definitely ready to compete against another undefeated fighter. I’m coming to show my skills to the world and prove I’m a boxer you have to pay attention to.

“At this point of my career, I want to make a move fast while I’m young. I don’t just want to be a guy with a nice record. I truly believe in my skills and that I can reach the highest level.

“I’ve been getting great help with sparring with the best of the best in Chicago. Sam Colonna, George Hernandez and all the Chicago boxing coaches have been great mentors to me and I am very thankful.”

What do you know about Shelestyuk?
“He was a great amateur fighter and he’s a lefty. That’s pretty much all I need to know. The only thing I can give him is that he has experience, so I’ve got to be careful of that. But it’s nothing new – I’ve seen fighters like that.”

What kind of fight do you expect?
“I expect him to be a boxer with movement. I think he’ll try to box me. I’ll be coming forward, being aggressive. Onda, we’ll see what his game plan is.”

What is the key to winning?
“It all depends on the pressure I can apply, throwing the right punches at the right time, the accuracy of my punches. Each punch has to have a purpose. I’m definitely more of a pressure guy. I like Gennady Golovkin’s style, Julio Cesar Chavez is my idol. That is the kind of style I try to fight with.”

On fighting on ShoBox for the first time?
“I’m definitely excited because I know a lot of people will be watching. Nisam nervozan na sve. The cameras, the bright lights, pošteno, I don’t care about. My focus is totally on this fight. This is the type of fight that can open a lot of doors for me.”

Is this your biggest fight and do you feel pressure?
“Da, definitivno, this is my biggest fight — just for all the doors a win would open for me, all the possibilities. Nema pritisak na mene. He’s the one representing his country with the weight on his shoulders. I’ve lost before, but that doesn’t make me an opponent.”

Are they making a mistake fighting you??
“I feel like they are making a mistake, but I also feel this is going to be a good test for him. I think Taras took the fight more for himself. But if he doesn’t know now about me, he’s going to find out.”

You boxed amateurs for one year and had 25 krajevi. Bio je 2012 Olympic Bronze Medalist with a boatload of amateur accomplishments. How significant is the experience of fighting amateur?
“Lično, meni, the amateurs are not that important at all. It’s all irrelevant once you go pro. I know some great amateur boxers who made it after turning pro, and some who didn’t. It’s a whole different ballgame. As a pro, I believe I’ve fought better guys than he has. I’ve been tested way more than he has. You can’t take away what he did as an amateur, but fighting with the smaller gloves, with no headgear, is totally different.”

Undefeated cruiserweights Konstantin Bejenaru (11-0, 4 Kos, 0-1-1 u World Series of Boxing), od Catskill, NY. putem Moldavije, a Steve “Nadčovjek” Bujaj (16-0-1, 11 Kos), New York, will collide in a 10-rounder for the vacant WBC International WBC Continental Americas titles in the co-feature.

Here is what the participants had to say Tuesday:
DANNY GARCIA
“Ona se osjeća sjajno se bori kod kuće. This is what Philadelphia needed. We’re a fight town. I feel like people don’t know that all over the world. We have a great history and a lot of world champions from here, and they’ve been kind of been overshadowed. It’s an honor to be able to bring a fight back to these fans.
“It’s very important to give back. I’m so happy to have the opportunity. With Thanksgiving and Christmas around the corner I’m sure we’ll be making a big impact. There are a lot of families in Philadelphia who really need it and I’m glad I can help.
“I’m very lucky to be where I am. It takes a lot of hard work, but you also need the right timing. My dad and I had a vision. We never gave up on that vision. We’ve been through so much in life, we didn’t want to stop till we reached our goals.
“The city of Philadelphia needs a champion. They need someone to give them a hometown show. There’s a lot of excitement with the Eagles and Sixers right now, and I’m going to give them another thing to cheer for.
“It’s a very short trip for me to the arena so I’m happy about that. I feel comfortable. I’m in my own backyard. We’re planning to make sure Vargas is very uncomfortable.
“I love seeing these young kids from Philadelphia on the card. I love giving them an opportunity to get fights in front of their hometown fans too. There are a lot of doors opening up for young fighters from Philadelphia and I love that I can be a part of it.
“I know Billy Briscoe (Vargas’ trener) will have some tricks. We’re very familiar with each other and I know what kind of trainer he is. He’s never prepared to face someone like me.
“I’ve watched the tape on Vargas. He’s a gritty fighter. He’s definitely a tough guy who won’t give up. I have to be ready. I’m going to have to be prepared. I feel ready to go.
“I had to grow into 140-pounds before I started knocking people out. This will be my third fight at welterweight and I think I’m going to feel as good as I have in my career. That’s why we’re ready to take on the best.”
OMAR DOUGLAS
“This is just a task. I’ve been preparing for this moment all my life. Ever since I was eight-years-old. Not to take anything away from Fortuna, but he’s a gatekeeper in the division. I have to get through him to get to what I want.
“Camp has been camp. It’s rough at times but it’s part of the process. I embrace it all though. I love being in camp. I’m bored when I’m not at camp so I’m definitely happiest when I’m in the gym.
“My weight is on point and on target. We’re just slowing it down and getting ready to make sure I’m peaking on fight night.
“Being able to fight in Philadelphia means the world to me. This is where I started my boxing career. I’ve been coming up the highway from Delaware to fight since I was a kid. Now a win here can propel me to another level.
“Fortuna is where I want to be at. I want to get through him. I can’t look past him. I’m focused on Javier Fortuna and writing another chapter in my story.
“You can expect a very exciting fight on Studeni 12. Hopefully he’s everything that people claim he is. I know that I am and I’m definitely going to come out on top.”
ANGEL GARCIA, Dannyjeva Otac & Trener
“There are people in this country who don’t have food. My parents were farmers when they came to this country. When I was a child I was hungry. I ran around with no shoes and I wore my brother’s clothes. The first thing Danny and I do when we get in the ring is say a prayer and bow our heads for the kids in the world with nothing to eat. I always told Danny and my family to appreciate whatever we have gotten. We’re using our position now to make a difference.
“Danny is completely ready for this fight. He’s healthy and on track to make weight. We’ll be in the ring on Studeni 12 and I think that if Samuel Vargas comes to fight and stands toe-to-toe with Danny, we’re going to end the night early.
“We’ve brought in a lot of young prospects and guys with more experience for Danny to spar. I try to mix it up on Danny and keep him 100 posto spreman. We can’t take anything away from Vargas though. I know Danny is a very talented fighter and he gives me what I want. He’s always learning.
“We don’t watch a lot of tape. My job is not to watch the opponent, it’s to train Danny Garcia. You can’t forget about what your fighter does well.
“These are big things for Danny. He’s the champion and he should be on exciting cards like this. We’re looking to keep building and building his career.
“We’re keeping Danny focused. He knows that he can’t underestimate anybody. We take every opponent very seriously. The 32 people that he fought before were taken just as seriously as Vargas. We don’t change anything or take anything away. I make sure his circle is tight and that camp is focused.
“I’m happy because headlining in Philadelphia is Danny’s dream. What makes Danny happy makes me happy. That’s what it’s about at the end of the day.”

Move turns ideas into results Mexico vs. Colombia competition Provides platform for athletes

MONTE CARLO, Monaco (Studeni 1, 2016)- The Mexican MMA Commission (COMEXAMM) and Colombian MMA Federation (FECODEAMM), respectively led by Hector Molina a Jaime Arturo Pena, have partnered to provide a bi-national undercard in lieu of the recent cancellation of the inaugural World MMA Association (WMMAA) Pan-American Division Championships due to problems associated with the hosting Chile Federation.
The Mexico vs. Colombia fights will be on the undercard of the November 18th Combato Extremo događaj, promovira Ubaldo Marroquin, at Auditorio National, Monterrey, Meksiko. Mexican and Colombian fighters who were supposed to compete in the aforementioned WMMAA Pan-American Division Championships can now have the opportunity to be in action.
Molina has been instrumental in WMMAA Pan-American Division development since 2014 as president of the Mexican Commission of MMA, as well as the Pan-American Director of the Regulatory Committee.
“That first year,” Molina said, “we are focused on identifying the best parts of he WMMAA regulatory programs – its people, programs, systems and processes – then quickly and effectively integrating these parts into a stronger centralized continental organization partner with improved, more useful, more impactful systems and resources. When you bring together multiple organizations there are real differences that need to be addressed, including cultural, and business operations, as well as geographic differences.”
Molina and his leadership team studied the WMMAA systems, maintained what successfully worked, and improved other aspects to build a new network. They retained top talent and aligned them with COMEXAMM’s bold culture, also adding some new people in areas perceived as non-optical to support business. Naposljetku, Molina bold a team that embraced core values and visions for regulatory that was instilled in him by mentors and years of experience.
“We started with the premise that we hire the best people in the industry; that we train them well, and offer them cutting-edge resources and skills. We empower our people to make smart decisions and, najvažnije, we trust our people key members like Gustavo Cantu. This trust is critical to our success. When we empower and trust people, they want to take ownership, not only for results, but for how we get our results.”
One of Molina’s first accomplishments at WMMAA has been the restructuring and realignment of the rules and regulations committee to mirror the company’s operating model. The Continental Rules and Regulations Committee was built on the principle guard railing the unstoppable growth of MMA and given the dynamic nature of WMMAA.
“Moves like these, from leaders like Hector Molina, are the ones that many organization would dream about in moments of crisis,” WMMAA Pan-American Division president Tomas Yu remarked, “giving a new definition to what it means to be part of the WMMAA family.”
The WMMAA Pan-American Division is a leader of a new industry category – growth Federation – powered by a committee to growth, focusing on MMA as a sport area leadership, in addition to dedication to operational excellence, investment in research and development innovation, and a strong focus on its members.
To maintain its position as an industry leader, WMMAA Pan-American Division practices what it calls, “Living Bold.” This culture embraces five principles: building bridges, powering ideas, acting fast, driving results, and always doing what is right. Molina and his team create regulatory strategies, systems, and programs that embody this culture.
“As opposed to being a back-room function that primarily creates policies and performs audits, my teams are aligned with the business units and are in the field with them daily,” Molina explained. “We advise in real time and proactively collaborate in strategy and planning meetings so our business can come up with innovative ideas, act fast, and quickly drive results.”
“My team knows that I am a bit of a regulatory geek when it comes to our work. It’s extremely exciting from a strategic perspective because it allows us to become a more valuable partner to the colleagues who run the business. We’ve always had strong, productive and active strategies. And we always will! By continuously challenging the status quo, asking ourselves how we can do things differently, and ultimately advancing our regulatory program, we will make a meaningful contribution to helping the WMMAA be bold, act fast and power ideas.”

Jošua vs. Molina and Whyte vs. Chisora land on huge December 10 predstava

AJ welcomes American to Manchester – Whyte and Chisora meet for Brit belt – Yafai in World title action – Quigg returns

 

Anthony Joshua MBE is set to defend his IBF World Heavyweight title against Eric Molina at the Manchester Arena on Prosinac 10, live on Sky Sports Box Office in the UK and on Showtime in the U.S.

 

Joshua puts his crown on the line for the second time and fights his third American in a row having destroyed Charles Martin inside two rounds to rip the title from the St. Louis man in April at The O2 in London and then stopping Dominic Breazeale in the seventh round at the same venue in June, extending his unbeaten run in the paid ranks to 17 pobjeda, all inside the distance.

 

Molina becomes the latest man to attempt to derail the Olympic Gold medal hero, the Texan is looking to get his hands on the top prize in his second World title tilt after challenging Deontay Wilder for the WBC crown in June 2015. The 34-year-old enters the bout full of confidence after travelling to Poland and knocking out Tomasz Adamek in the tenth round of their clash for the IBF Inter-Continental strap in April.

 

“I am pleased that everything is now set for Prosinac 10 and I can concentrate on getting the business done in the ring,” said Joshua. “There has been plenty of talk about who I may face but all I’m doing is concentrating on finishing Molina in style and putting on a great show.

 

“Every fight is dangerous in this division and this is no exception. I saw Molina have a great fight with Wilder and he is now coming off a strong KO win against Adamek in Poland.

 

“I’m expecting this to be the toughest fight of my career so far and I will be ready for an all-out war.”

 

“There is no Heavyweight in the world that has bounced back like I have,” said Molina. “That’s the man that Joshua faces on Prosinac 10, and that man is a very dangerous one.

 

“He’ll fight the toughest Molina that anybody has ever seen, just like Adamek fought the toughest Molina.

 

“I’m confident. These type of fights don’t shake me up, I’m a very strong mental fighter. I know exactly what I’ve got to do to prepare myself in the amount of time. I know exactly what I’ve got to do, mentalno, fizički, to go there and perform.

 

“When you walk out into the atmosphere, half the battle is the mental battle, and if you can stay in the moment mentally you have a shot in any fight.”

 

There’s a huge card in support of the main event as Dillian Whyte defends his British Heavyweight title against bitter London rival Dereck Chisora in an official eliminator for the WBC title. Whyte makes the second defence of his strap after seeing off fellow Brixton man Ian Lewison in Glasgow last month, while former World title challenger Chisora can get his hands on the Lord Lonsdale belt for the second time.

 

Scott Quigg returns to action after treatment on his broken jaw following his unification blockbuster with Carl Frampton, and the Bury star moves up to Featherweight as he looks to regain his status as a World champion.

 

Kal Yafai can become Birmingham’s first World champion but the unbeaten 27 year old faces a tough task to rip the WBA Super-Flyweight title against Luis Concepcion, the two-weight World champion that will enter the ring in his 11th World title outing.

 

Irish amateur sensation Katie Taylor boxes for the second time in the paid ranks after making her pro debut at The SSE Arena, Wembley on Studeni 26, Heavyweight wrecking ball ‘King Kong’ Luis Ortiz fights in Europe for the second time after clashing with Malik Scott in Monte-Carlo on Studeni 12 and Hosea Burton will defend his British Light-Heavyweight title against Frank Buglioni.

 

“The Heavyweight division has been turned on its head in the last few months and while many are standing still waiting, I’m delighted to get this huge card up and running in Manchester,"Rekao je Eddie Hearn promotor.

 

“I have spoken to Eric Molina at length and I know this is going to be a big test for Anthony. We saw in the Wilder fight that he can punch and doesn’t give in and is coming off a strong knockout win against Adamek in his back yard in Poland. We have requested an exception from the IBF for this fight and although the plans are for a major unification in the spring this fight requires Anthony’s full focus.

 

“The card is one of the strongest we have produced, supported by a huge all-British Heavyweight grudge match between Dillian Whyte and Dereck Chisora which will be an official eliminator for the WBC World title.

 

“We are delighted to see the return of Scott Quigg who will now campaign at Featherweight and Birmingham’s Kal Yafai has a chance to make history in a brutal fight against World champion Luis Concepcion.

 

“One of the most exciting Heavyweights in world boxing Luis Ortiz will feature and Ireland’s Katie Taylor will continue to break the mould in front of a sold out 21,000 gomila. The re-scheduled Britsih Light-Heavyweight clash between Hosea Burton and Frank Buglioni is sure to produce fireworks and there will also be further names added in the following weeks.”

Brazilian superstar Marcos Galvao returns to action having won seven of his last nine and is ready for another push at the division’s belt. Hailing from Amazonas, Brazil, the illusive “Loro” has only been finished once in the past seven years, while conversely finishing his opponent in five of his 11 wins over that same period. Now Galvao returns to WinStar World Casino & Odmaralište, the same venue where he fought and defeated Joe Warren for bantamweight gold at “Bellator 135.” Subsequently, Warren will also prepare to compete at "Bellator 166: Dantas vs. Warren 2,” as he and Eduardo Dantas will face off in the main event. Needless to say, the 34-year-old Galvao will have tremendous motivation to win, as the division he once championed dominates a stacked main card in Thackerville.

Davis enters the contest for the fifth time under the Bellator MMA banner, earning victories in three of his first four bouts with the promotion. The 35-year-old bantamweight has finished his opponent in 15 njegov 23 karijera pobjeda, uključujući 11 u krugu otvaranja. A winner in seven of his last nine contests, the Kansas City, Missouri native consistently finds himself amid conversation with the division’s top contenders. Davis hopes to replicate the same success that he had in his most recent victory over Hideo Tokoro at "Bellator 135," where his split decision win was labeled Yahoo! Sports’ “Best Fight of the Half-Year.” The former Pratt Community College wrestling coach now faces an opportunity to climb the ranks in a tasty matchup against one of the game’s best.

A six-fight veteran of Bellator MMA, Honeycutt made a lasting impression in his first two appearances under the promotion, recording back-to-back knockouts. Fighting out of Fresno, Kalifornija, the 28-year-old knockout artist began his professional career with an impressive streak of six consecutive victories, including five finishes and four knockouts. “The Cutt” made a successful transition to the welterweight division in his Bellator MMA debut in 2014, before returning to the middleweight class in his most recent win over Mikkel Parlo na “Bellator 156.”

After making his professional debut in 2011, Reiter collected sixteen wins before surrendering his first career loss. The 29-year-old New Yorker competed mainly in Peru early in his career, fighting under the direction of Inka Fighting Championship, before joining the Bellator MMA fray in 2014. Since making his promotional debut for the Scott Coker-led organization, “The Hunter” has added three more victories to his already impressive résumé, as he quickly finds himself among the division’s elite. With nine of his 17 karijera pobjeda dolazi putem nokauta ili predaje, Reiter hopes to add to that total with another finish in the first of a two-night special doubleheader in Thackerville, OK. Standing at six feet three inches, Reiter will look to expose his opponent Honeycutt with a significant advantage in both height and reach.

NEW YORK (Listopada. 31, 2016) – Obećavajući bez poraza 2012 Olimpijske igre brončani Taras "Real Deal" Shelestyuk (14-0, 9 Kos) debitirat će na glavnom događaju kada se suoči s uznemirenim Jimmy Herrera u 10 rundi istaknuta atrakcija a ShoBox: Nova generacija tripleheader ovo Fridai, Studeni. 4, živjeti SHOWTIME na 10:30 poslije podne. I/PT (odgođeno na Zapadnoj obali) iz Omega proizvodi Međunarodni centar za događanja u Corona, Kalif.

 

Zvijezda u usponu visoka 5 stopa 10, Shelestyuk, Los Angeles, nalazi se na br. 9 po WBO i nema. 13 u WBA. Shelestyuk, koji počinje svoj drugi ShoBox, prosječno 85 udara rundu na putu do pobjede ShoBox debi s podjelom od 10 kola više Aslanbek Kozak stu. 6, 2015.

 

Posvećeni, vrijedni Shelestyuk, koji je obučen od Eric Brown i sparinguje nekoliko dana u tjednu s bivšim svjetskim prvakom Shane Mosley, na Wild Card Westu u Santa Monici, Kalifornija, posjeduje solidne vještine, kretanje i probijanje snage.

 

Shelestyuk je bio član hvaljenog 2012 Ukrajinska olimpijska reprezentacija koja je uključivala osvajača zlatne medalje u perolakoj kategoriji Vasyl Lomachenko i osvajač zlatne medalje u teškoj kategoriji Oleksandr Usyk. 30-godišnjak smatra da mu je još oko godinu dana do natjecanja s najboljima 147 funti i da prvo mora proći Herreru. Ali Mosley tvrdi da ga Shelestyuk podsjeća na većeg Lomachencka i vjeruje da je već spreman za vrhunska imena u poluteškoj kategoriji.

 

Herrera (15-3-1, 8 Kos), Chicago, Ilinois, je pobijedio neporažene izglede u četiri od posljednjih devet borbi i jest 8-1-1 sveukupno od srpnja 2012.

 

Shelestyuk, Brown i Mosley razgovarali su za SHOWTIME nakon nedavnog treninga. Evo što su rekli:

 

TARAS ŠELESTJUK:

Koje su vaše misli idući u borbu?
"Jako sam uzbuđen. Prošlo je šest mjeseci od moje posljednje borbe. Ovo je moja prva naslovna borba, a nadam se ne i posljednja.

 

“Puno sam radio u svom trening kampu sa svojim trenerom Ericom Brownom, i sa svojim kondicijskim trenerom. Moj protivnik je težak borac. Imao je nekoliko dobrih borbi s tipovima poput Mikea Jonesa, Egidijus Kavaliauskas i još par velikih momaka. On se voli boriti i mislim da će to biti dobra borba i dobar meč za naše stilove.”

 

Sada ste rangirani borac; jeste li zadovoljni tempom svog napredovanja?

"Zadovoljan sam svojim napretkom, ali naravno da se želim boriti s većim imenima u borbama za prvenstvo i sve to. Znam da će uskoro doći. Uživam u svom načinu treniranja i razvijanju svojih vještina, ali ako vidiš svoj san, učini sve da ga ostvariš i ne dopusti da ti išta stane na put.''

 

Što mislite o poluteškoj kategoriji?

“To je jako dobra podjela jer ima puno boraca, ali neki se ne žele međusobno boriti (vrlo često). Predstoji nekoliko vrlo dobrih prvenstvenih borbi i nadam se da ću ja biti jedan od njih.”

 

Zašto ste se odlučili preseliti u južnu Kaliforniju??

"Dobro, [smijeh] uglavnom zato što ako je odlično vrijeme, ali ovo je također dobro područje s puno dobrih boraca i puno dobrih trenera također. Kad sam se prvi put doselio ovamo, moj me menadžer pozvao van i pokazao mi okolinu te sam odmah otišao u teretanu. Trenirao sam s Ruslanom Provodnikovim i imao sam sparing s njim prije borbe koju je imao i sljedeće što znate, dva tjedna kasnije Imao sam svoj profesionalni debi i evo me sada, tri i pol godine kasnije.''

 

Postoji li pritisak na vas kada se borite?

“Ne bih rekao da osjećam pritisak jer me svi oko mene podržavaju, oni vjeruju u mene i ja vjerujem u njih. Moj tim vjeruje u mene, a ja njima. Samo želim raditi ono što radim u ringu, bolje. Želim učiniti bolje za sebe, za moju obitelj i za moje prijatelje.''

 

Pratite li svoje olimpijske kolege?

“Gledam borbe ukrajinskog olimpijskog tima, i uživam kad drugi dečki pobjeđuju. Podržavamo jedni druge i javljamo se. Dobro je da ima više ukrajinskih boraca koji su sada prvaci. Slijedeće godine, Nadam se da ću biti jedan od njih.”

 

Kakav je bio osjećaj ići 10 kola za prvi put?

“Prošle godine u studenom imao sam svoju prvu borbu od 10 rundi ShoBox, Borio sam se s jakim momkom i pružio mi je jako dobru borbu. otišao sam 10 krugova i osjećao sam se kao da mogu ići još dva. spreman sam za 10, za 12, nije važno. osjećam se mnogo bolje, mnogo moćniji. Imam veću brzinu nego u prošloj borbi, isto."

 

Kako si završio na treningu s Ericom?

“Trenirao sam s Freddiejem Roachom oko dvije i pol godine kada sam upoznao Erica u Wild Card West Gymu.. Tamo sam počeo sparingirati s nekim njegovim momcima. Nakon moje borbe s Rodriguezom na ESPN-u u 2015 Zamolio sam Erica da me trenira i počeli smo raditi. Sada kada sam vodio dvije borbe s njim kao mojim trenerom, Osjećam da su moje boksačke vještine bolje, Osjećam se snažnije i uživam trenirati u njegovoj teretani.

 

“Svi treneri nam pomažu i daju nam savjete. Na dane kada sparingujem sa Shaneom Mosleyem, on stane i da mi savjet. Puno učim od njega, biti legenda borbe kakav on jest. Odrastao sam gledajući ga kako se tuče kao klinac i poštovao sam ono što me može naučiti. Onda sljedeći put probam ono čemu me je naučio i upalit će.”

 

Boks ti je u krvi; tvoj tata i brat su boksali. Kad si bio mlađi, jesi li mislio da ćeš postati borac?

"Ne, ali otac me gurao u mnoge sportove. Bavio sam se gimnastikom, nogomet pet godina, i igrao šah. Tukao sam se kao dijete, ali uvijek je bilo prijateljski. Uvijek sam uživao u aspektu treninga. Trenirajući nogomet ponekad bismo otac i ja trčali bosi po snijegu i uživao sam u tome. Tako, kao dijete, kad sam prvi put kročio u boksačku dvoranu, bilo je tako zabavno.''

Tvoja ShoBox borba pada na rođendan tvog oca; imaš li poseban poklon na umu za njega?

“To me tjera da mu izborim pobjedu. Na njegov dan, on će sjediti i gledati moju borbu pa želim izboriti tu pobjedu za njega, za moju obitelj i za Ukrajinu.''

 

ERIC BROWN, Shelestyukov trener

Kakav je kamp imao Taras imao je i što vidite da se događa u petak?

“Vidim puno napretka u Tarasu. Kad smo tek počeli raditi zajedno, jedna od stvari bila je ta da je Taras uvijek imao sjajne boksačke sposobnosti, ali nije bio sjajan finišer. Ne znam je li bio sramežljiv od oružja ili što je to bilo, ali imao je tendenciju koristiti svoj talent da dovede ljude u nevolju, ali onda bi se povukao i pustio ih da se vrate u borbu. Tako, ono na čemu puno više radimo jest da ga natjeramo da postane bolji finišer i da prepozna kada ima svog čovjeka u nevolji i kako iskoristiti trenutak, a da pritom ne bude nepromišljen. Brzo napreduje.

 

“Čini se da mnogi momci iz Ukrajine imaju slične tendencije jer imaju duge amaterske karijere i počinju preuzimati loše navike koje moramo ispraviti. Taras je imao malo toga u sebi, ali čini se da se vrlo dobro prilagođava. On je izuzetno vrijedan radnik i često mu morate govoriti da uspori, nikad mu ne moraš reći da učini više.”

 

Gdje ga vidite u karijeri velteraša?

“To je sjajna podjela. Rekao bih da je Keith Thurman sada bez sumnje na vrhu, ali ima i dobrih boraca poput Shawna Portera. Ako se Mayweather odlučio vratiti, Mislim da bi opet bio svuda po ovoj diviziji. Canelo je dobar super velteraš, ali previše je zauzet brigom o utezima za ulov. Nedvojbeno za drugu godinu, Mislim da će Taras biti tu s najboljima od njih. Ima mnogo talenta, velika svestranost, velika brzina ruke i noge i dobar je udarac. Nije razoran nokauter, ali ipak odličan s obje ruke.''

 

SHANE MOSLEY, Bivši svjetski prvak

Kako je bilo raditi s Tarasom i kako ste se uključili u njegov trening?

“Sparingirao sam s Tarasom i izgleda stvarno oštro. Sparingujem s njim već oko četiri ili pet mjeseci prilično konstantno jer mnogi dečki neće sparingovati s njim. Dečki su zabrinuti da će zbog njega ispasti loše; toliko je tehnički i britak da ne žele sparirati s njim. Tako, Često idem tamo s njim. Teško je natjerati ljude da spariraju s njim.''

 

Gdje ga vidite u poluteškoj kategoriji?

“On je na tom šampionskom putu, toj razini, ali mislim da kad jednom stigne, dobit će više sparing partnera i bit će još bolji. On je stvarno svjetski prvak, borac svjetske klase. Podsjeća me na većeg Lomachenka, sparing s njim je jednostavno takav. Vidim ga kao najboljeg prvaka u poluteškoj kategoriji. Način na koji baca svoje kombinacije, on je pametan boksač koji jako naporno vježba. U teretani je svaki dan, da li sparinguje ili ne, ima li za odraditi neki trening ili ne. Čak će biti ovdje sam, samo će se kretati i biti oštar. Njegova radna etika je stvarno, stvarno jaka.

 

Kako ti se sviđa raditi s Tarasom?

“Sviđa mi se Taras i uživam raditi s njim. Iznimno je posvećen i to je teško pronaći. Sviđa mi se Tarasova radna etika, njegovu osobnost, kako se bavi boksom. Voli ovaj sport i želi biti najbolji. Ne voli gubiti, čak i u sparingu. Impresioniran sam njime. Kad sam prvi put sparirao s njim, bio sam jako impresioniran njegovim zamahom, njegova moć, njegova točnost prstena, njegov IQ boksa. Bio sam impresioniran koliko je marljivo radio i njegovom voljom za učenje.''

 

Smatrate li da je neobično da su dečki posvećeni kao Taras u ovom trenutku svoje karijere?

“Neobično je u smislu da puno boraca želi učiti od vrhunskih momaka, ali čini mi se da s Tarasom nije lažno. On doista želi učiti o boksu kako bi mogao biti najbolji. Želi postati svjetski prvak i radi na tome da postane jedan od najboljih. Da Tarasa danas stavite u ring s bilo kojim velikim imenom, rekao bih da bi odnio pobjedu. Ima zdrav razum. Ima mentalitet da bude na vrhu. On ozbiljno želi postati svjetski prvak, o tome da sam vrhunski borac. Ozbiljan je u pobjedi i ići će do kraja. Ako ovog tipa suprotstavite Thurmanu, Išao bih s njim. Mislim da trenutno pobjeđuje Thurmana.''
