I know that this fight will be a war. I’ve been working hard with Freddie Roach and I’m excited to show what I’ve learned and get my frustration of waiting off my chest. I am more motivated than ever to keep my title and prove who is the best in the division.”
“I’m excited to get back in the ring and win my fourth world title,” sagte Mares. “Ich bin 100 percent healthy and ready to go.

These are major fights between the top players in two of boxing’s deepest divisions.”
Ein schnell steigender Stern von Buenos Aires, Argentinien, Cuellar isworking toward his 12th consecutive victory when he gets in the ring to defend his 126-pound title against Mares. His power in both hands has helped him deliver seven knockouts in his last 10 Siege, including an eighth-round knockout of former world champion Vic Darchinyan im Juni 2015. The 29-year-old won his world title with a unanimous decision over Claudio Marrero in seinem US-. Debüt im August 2013. He went on to defend his title against Rico Ramos, Juan Manuel Lopez und Ruben Tamayo.
Geboren in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico and fighting out of Huntington Beach, Calif., Mütter won his first title in 2011 when he beat Joseph Agbeko to capture the bantamweight crown. He continued to rise in the pound-for-pound list with victories over Anselmo Moreno und Daniel Ponce De Leon to win world titles at super bantamweight and featherweight. The 30-year-old won three straight fights leading to a massive showdown with Leo Santa Cruz im August letzten Jahres. Mares showed the same explosiveness that made him a multiple-division world champion in a thrilling “Kampf des Jahres” candidate which he lost by majority decision. The always-exciting Mares will enter the ring for the first time under the tutelage of renowned trainer Robert Garciaand strength coach Luis Garcia as he seeks to capture another world title.
Twin brother of fellow 154-pound world champion Jermell, Jermall Charlowill be making the third defense of the super welterweight crown he won last September with a dominant stoppage over Cornelius Bundrage. The 26-year-old is coming off of a career-best, hard-fought decision over crafty former world champion Austin Trout in May in Las Vegas. Training with Ronnie Shields in Houston, Charlo will look to silence Williams and stake his claim as the best in the division.
Einer der renommiertesten Jungstars im Boxen, Williams, von Philadelphia, will be getting his first world title opportunity. The 26-year-old has dismantled opponents on his way to accumulating an unbeaten record. Williams solidified his status as a fast-rising star by defeating veterans Luciano Cuello und Arman Ovsepyan in addition to a shutout victory over contender Joey Hernandez in 2015. He earned his No. 1 ranking and title fight by stopping Italy’s Marcello Matano in the seventh round in March.

The former champion Fortuna and the unbeaten Douglas will meet in a 50-50 fight that could put the winner in a position to fight for a world title soon. Fortuna is known for his aggressive style while Douglas looks to impress against his toughest opponent to date.
Hier ist, was die Kämpfer über Trainingslager zu sagen hatte, each other and more:
How has training camp gone for this fight?
Javier Fortuna: “I’m having an excellent training camp. We’re working hard and figuring out how to break down my opponent. Hector Bermudez does a great job and I’m very comfortable training here in Boston. I’ve gotten great sparring with guys like Will Madero and Alden Whatley. I’m going to be just as strong in the final round as I was in the first.
Omar Douglas: “Training hat schon sehr gut. I was already working and staying sharp, because I knew a big fight was on the horizon. Training in Delaware with Douglas Petitford has been great for me and I’ve had incredible sparring. I’ve been in there getting rounds with (2016 U.S.. Olympier) Gary Antuanne Russell and a veteran in Hank Lundy.”
What do you think of your opponent and how do you see this fight going stylistically?
JF: “Douglas is a prospect who has looked pretty good coming up. He wants to get to where I’ve been. He might be looking past me. I think that his style fits my style perfectly. I’m going to have openings and I just need to take advantage.”
OD: “Fortuna is a very decent and explosive fighter. He’s a former world champion and I expect him to stand up and get back what he thinks is his. He wants his rematch with Sosa and we are in each other’s way. He’s a frontrunner in the ring. He will try to start strong and I am prepared for whatever he brings to the table. Whether he boxes or fights me. I will make adjustments.”
What kind of problems does your opponent pose?
JF: “The only problem that he will pose is if he doesn’t show up and fight. I’m ready for anything he can bring, so I hope he’s ready to give the fans a show.”
OD: “He moves well. I can’t let myself get off-balanced trying to chase him. He’s awkward but I know that my jab will neutralize his strengths.”
What are you looking for in the future if you can get the win on November 12? What are your goals for 2017?
JF: “I want to fight the best out there. My first choice is a rematch with Jason Sosa so that I can win my belt back. I’d love to fight Vasyl Lomachenko. I don’t think he’s fought a guy quite like me yet.”
OD: “Ich möchte um einen Weltmeistertitel kämpfen. That’s the goal. He is a former champion who just lost his title and 2017 is my year to make a run for a title.”
How have you improved as a fighter since your loss? Do you believe a win over Douglas proves you’re still one of the best in the division?
JF: “I have learned a lot of things since I lost. My defense and my confidence in myself has improved. If I can beat a guy who is 22-0 and make it two wins over previously unbeaten fighters, then I think I’m right back in contention. He’s still considered a prospect so I think whoever wins will be a contender at the top of the division.
How does fighting in Philadelphia motivate you, having fought there in the amateurs and being from nearby Delaware?
OD: “In the amateurs I was one of the only guys from Delaware. I had a lot of obstacles. I’ve been fighting against Philly’s best fighters for years. Philadelphia is where I achieved my first goals in the sport and it will always be special to me to fight in Philly.”
Why do you believe you’ll be victorious on fight night?
JF: “With the work that I’ve been putting in, I know that I will be ready on fight night. I’ve been through too much not to leave the ring victorious.”
OD: “I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life and I believe I am the hungrier fighter. He doesn’t want it as badly as I do. I’ve been waiting in the shadows for a long time. I have all the skills necessary to get the job done.”

RALEK GRACIE SET TO RESUME MMA CAREER WITH BELLATOR

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

 

SANTA MONICA, Calif. — (Oktober 26, 2016) - Bellator Fighting Championships ist stolz, die Unterzeichnung ankündigen Ralek gracie (3-0) to an exclusive multi-fight, multi-year contract.

Ralek is the third son of Rorion, the nephew of Royce, Rickson, and Royler Gracie and received his black belt from Grand Master Helio Gracie. The Gracie Family is famous for putting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu on the map around the globe.

Nur 22, Ralek made his MMA debut in Japan, where he defeated his opponent, Kastuyori Shibata with a devastating armbar. Nearly a year later, Ralek returned to Japan for his second MMA fight and again was victorious, this time defeating Gahdzhiev Alavutdin with an armbar from the mount. These two bouts led to a highly anticipated matchup with Kazushi Sakuraba, where again the Los Angeles native left “The Land of the Rising Sun” with the victory. That was the last time Ralek would fight under MMA rules, until now.

“I was bred for hand-to-hand combat over generations and I simply can’t ignore that during my physical prime. My destiny is calling me and my opponent is irrelevant, es ist Zeit zu gehen,” Gracie said. “It’s crazy to see where fighting has come since my childhood of seeing everything unfold from behind the scenes. Bellator is really stepping up the opportunities fighters have to compete more often and in different countries and I’m excited to join that movement and test my style in this modern MMA era.”

It has yet to be determined which weight class the 31-year-old will participate in, but expect to see him lace up the gloves for Bellator MMA in early 2017.

MIAMI (Oktober 26, 2016) — International renommierter Boxtrainer Orlando Cuellar hat sich der Kreis geschlossen, gleich zurück zu den berühmten 5th St. Fitnessstudio in South Beach, wo er einmal als Teenager besucht hat, um zu lernen, und jetzt Kämpfer an sechs Tagen in der Woche ausbildet.
Geboren in Havanna, Kuba, Cuellars Familie ließ sich in Miami nieder, als er drei Jahre alt war und Orlando dort während der High School lebte. Als Amateurboxer, Cuellar erinnert sich lebhaft daran, wie er Boxer beobachtet hat 5th St. Fitnessstudio wie Cassius Clay, Willie Pastrano, Vinnie Short und Florentino Fernandez, sowie legendäre Trainer, Brüder Angelo und Chris Dundee.
“Ich habe zugesehen und gelernt, so viel wie möglich aufheben,” Cuellar sagte. “Jetzt, Ich arbeite aus dem heraus 5th St. Fitnessstudio seit sechs Wochen. Es war eine unglaubliche Erfahrung. Jeden Tag, Sie wissen nie, wer dort durch die Türen gehen wird. Es ist seit mehr als einer der besten Boxhallen der Welt 50 Jahre. Von den Tagen zurück bis Muhammad Ali, Kämpfer wurden von diesem Fitnessstudio wegen seiner reichen Geschichte und großartigen Sparrings angezogen, sowie in die Gegend mit den Restaurants von South Beach, Clubs und Strand. Das Warme, feuchtes Wetter erleichtert es Kämpfern auch, beim Laufen und Training Gewicht zu verlieren.
“(Inhaber) Dino Spencer macht weiter mit 5th St. Turnhalle Tradition. Jeden Tag bin ich da und es ist aufregend für mich. Dort trainieren gemischte ethnische Gruppen und es ist ein Magnet für Talente. Es gibt drei Tage die Woche Sparring – Ich nenne es Spar-a-Rama – und jeder ist herzlich eingeladen, sich selbst herauszufordern. Das Sparring ist besser als viele Fernsehkämpfe.
“5th St. Fitnesstrainer Guy Laieta Ich hatte in den letzten fünf Jahren versucht, mich davon zu überzeugen, dem Team beizutreten. Ich habe mehrmals mit Dino gesprochen, Ausdruck meines Wunsches, Kämpfer aus dem zu trainieren 5th St. Turnhalle. Sagte er, 'Machen wir das.’ Der Erfolg der 5th St. Das Fitnessstudio hat heute viel mit Besitz zu tun. Dino hat eine Leidenschaft für das Boxen und er ist sehr gastfreundlich, was zu seinen Mitarbeitern und Kämpfern rinnt. Immer gute Stimmung!”
Cuellar reiste nach Las Vegas ab 1976 und, nachdem er erkannt hatte, dass es nicht in seinem besten Interesse war, Boxer zu sein, Dort begann er Kämpfer auszubilden 1981 aus Johnny Garcias Fitnessstudio. Ein Jahr später, Er verlegte seine Basis in Brooklyn und begann, Kämpfer aus einer anderen Boxikone heraus zu trainieren, Gleason-Gym. In 2000, er ließ sich in Miami nieder.
Am bekanntesten als Weltmeister im Halbschwergewicht der Cheftrainer von Glen Johnson, Cuellar arbeitete auch mit zukünftigen Champions wie Nicolas Walters, Rances Barthelemy und Erslandy Lara, als auch Luis Franco, Aaron Davis und Juan Carlos Gomez, um nur einige der bekanntesten zu nennen. Heute, Er ist der Hauptsekunde für mehrere Top-Kämpfer, darunter Antonio Tarver.
Während des gesamten Boxens als überlegener Lehrer anerkannt, Cuellars Erfolg ist hauptsächlich auf seine individuelle Ausbildung von Kämpfern zurückzuführen, sich auf ihre persönlichen Bedürfnisse konzentrieren, anstatt allen Kämpfern die gleichen Anweisungen und die gleiche Aufmerksamkeit zu geben.
“Jeder Kämpfer braucht persönliche und spezifische Arbeit, um seine von Gott gegebenen Talente zu ergänzen,” Erklärte Cuellar. “Sie können nicht alle Kämpfer auf die gleiche Weise unterrichten. Ich spezialisiere mich auf das, was ich alte Schule nenne und neue Schule. Die alte Schule war offen und persönlich 15 Runde, In der neuen Schule geht es darum, mehr Schläge zu werfen, mehr Fußbewegung und Kämpfe von außen. Ich unterrichte doffense: Verteidigung + Delikt. Schläge sind keine Vitamine, keiner sollte genommen werden. Boxen ist kaum mehr als ein Kampf der Reflexe; ein Kämpfer gegen einen anderen, Aber der wahre Trick ist, wie der Kämpfer seine Reflexe nutzt. Ich bringe meinen Kämpfern bei, wie man die Ringschürze in ein Minenfeld verwandelt.”
Das Boxen hat in Cuellars Leben eine große Rolle gespielt. Zurück in 5th St. Das Fitnessstudio ist nur ein weiteres Kapitel in seinem einzigartigen Leben.
“Ich lebe durch meine Kämpfer,” Cuellar schloss. “Jeder Sieg ist mein stolzester Moment. Es gibt keine großen oder kleinen Siege, Jeder Sieg ist ein glücklicher Moment wegen all der harten Arbeit und der Opfer, die ich und mein Kämpfer während des Trainingslagers gemacht haben.”
Orlando Cuellar ist begeistert, in die Zukunft zurückgekehrt zu sein.
