“This is the most important fight of my career as Mares is one of the best in this loaded featherweight division,” Cuellar ha detto. “We had to wait very long for this fight to happen, but everything happens for a reason and I’m grateful that the time is almost here. 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,” dette Mares. “Sono 100 percent healthy and ready to go. I’m looking forward to showing that to my fans and the entire audience on December 10. Los Angeles is my town. This is a fight that I’ve wanted and I’m glad to be giving the fans a great show at the end of the year. Come watch me on Dicembre 10 and see what a warrior looks like.”
“Camp for me started a month after I defeated Austin Trout,” Detto Charlo. “Da quel punto in poi, I’ve been in the gym working and I got my vision corrected, so I’m feeling great. I’m looking forward to putting my clearer vision to the test and I’m so prepared and ready for this fight. This is everything I’ve ever wanted. It’s the best fighting the best. Julian brings an undefeated record to the table and I know he’s watched a lot of my past fights because we always knew we would fight one day. So who’s the best? We’ll find out, but I know I’m ready to rumble.”
“I’m excited to get my first title shot, but more than anything I’m just focused on winning,” ha detto Williams. “Jermall Charlo is strong and fast, but I will be better than him on Dicembre 10. I’ve been waiting for this fight for the longest time and I know this will be a great night for the fans. I plan on giving them an exciting, explosive fight and most importantly a win.”
The action-packed doubleheader features two evenly matched showdowns as all four men, firmly in the top 10 in their division, will enter the ring believing that they will be the one leaving with a belt around their waist. Cuellar and Mares look for supremacy in a crowded featherweight division brimming with contenders while Charlo and Williams each look for a career-defining performance to boost their burgeoning profiles.
“I am elated to be promoting this great night of action for boxing fans around the world,” suddetto Richard Schaefer, Chairman and CEO of Ringstar Sports. “Both of these fights are 50-50 match-ups with a lot on the line. These are fights that the fans want to see and pose challenges that these fighters are eager to face. They will have a great stage at the Galen Center at USC and on SHOWTIME to prove that they are amongst the best in the world. I couldn’t be coming back to the sport with a better fight card and I know that the real winner on Dicembre 10 will be the fans.”
“We’re very excited to present this highly anticipated featherweight world title fight between Jesus Cuellar and Abner Mares,” suddetto Tom Brown, Presidente di Promotions TGB. “I’m thrilled to work with Richard Schaefer on the debut promotion of Ringstar Sports and look forward to many more world-class collaborative events. I also want to thank Stephen Espinoza and the SHOWTIME team along with the Galen Center staff for their help in making what will undoubtedly be an outstanding night of boxing.”
“These two world title fights exemplify what SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING has and will continue to deliver – true ‘pick-em’ fights between top-rated fighters in the prime of their career,,” suddetto Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President e General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports. “Cuellar vs. Mares is arguably the toughest to predict of the five featherweight world championships we’ve presented this year. And in Charlo vs. Williams, our latest in a series of significant bouts at 154-pounds, we have a prime example of how great this sport can be. These are major fights between the top players in two of boxing’s deepest divisions.”
Una stella in rapida crescita di Buenos Aires, Argentina, 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 vittorie, including an eighth-round knockout of former world champion Vic Darchinyan nel mese di giugno 2015. The 29-year-old won his world title with a unanimous decision over Claudio Marrero nella sua U.S. debutto nel mese di agosto 2013. He went on to defend his title against Rico Ramos, Juan Manuel Lopez e Ruben Tamayo.
Nato a Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico and fighting out of Huntington Beach, Calif., Madri 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 e 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 lo scorso agosto. Mares showed the same explosiveness that made him a multiple-division world champion in a thrilling “Fight of the Year” 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 Trota in May in Las Vegas. Training with Ronnie Shields a Houston, Charlo will look to silence Williams and stake his claim as the best in the division.
Una delle giovani stelle più apprezzati nel pugilato, Williams, di 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 e 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.
Ecco ciò che i combattenti avevano da dire su campo di addestramento, 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: “La formazione sta andando molto bene. 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. Olimpionico) 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: “Voglio lottare per un titolo mondiale. 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

Lascia un commento

 

SANTA MONICA, Calif. — (Ottobre 26, 2016) - Bellator MMA è orgogliosa di annunciare la firma di 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.

A soli 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, è andare a tempo,” 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 (Ottobre 26, 2016) — Di fama internazionale allenatore di boxe Orlando Cuellar Has Come cerchio completo, a destra di nuovo al famoso 5th St. Gym a South Beach, dove ha visitato una volta come un adolescente per imparare e ora allena combattenti su sei giorni alla settimana.
Nato a L'Avana, Cuba, La famiglia di Cuellar reinsediati a Miami quando aveva tre anni, con Orlando vivere lì attraverso la scuola superiore. Come un pugile dilettante, Cuellar ricorda vividamente guardare pugili a 5th St. Gym quali Cassius Clay, Willie Pastrano, Vinnie breve e Florentino Fernandez, così come formatori leggendari, fratelli Angelo e Chris Dundee.
“Ho guardato e imparato, raccogliendo quanto più possibile,” Cuellar ha detto. “Ora, Mi ritrovo a lavorare fuori dal 5th St. Palestra per le ultime sei settimane. E 'stata un'esperienza incredibile. Ogni giorno, non si sa mai chi sta per camminare attraverso le porte lì. E 'stata una delle migliori palestre di pugilato in tutto il mondo per più di 50 anni. Dai tempi risalenti Muhammad Ali, combattenti sono stati attratti da questa palestra a causa della sua ricca storia e la grande sparring, così come per l'area con ristoranti di South Beach, club e la spiaggia. la calda, tempo umido rende anche più facile per i combattenti per perdere peso in esecuzione e la formazione.
“(Proprietario) Dino Spencer sta portando sulla 5th St. tradizione Gym. Ogni giorno ci sono è emozionante per me. gruppi etnici misti treno ed è una calamita per i talenti. C'è sparring tre giorni alla settimana – Io lo chiamo Spar-A-Rama – e benvenuto a tutti di sfidare se stessi. Lo sparring è meglio di un sacco di scontri televisivi.
“5th St. allenatore di ginnastica Guy Laieta aveva cercato di convincermi a far parte del team per gli ultimi cinque anni. Ho parlato con Dino in diverse occasioni, esprimere il mio desiderio di addestrare combattenti fuori dal 5th St. Palestra. Lui ha detto, 'Facciamolo.’ Il successo del 5th St. Palestra oggi ha molto a che fare con la proprietà. Dino ha una passione per la boxe e lui è molto ospitale, che scivola verso il basso per il suo staff e combattenti. Buone vibrazioni per tutto il tempo!”
Cuellar partito per Las Vegas nel 1976 e, dopo essersi reso conto che essere un pugile non era nel suo interesse, ha iniziato la formazione di combattenti là in 1981 fuori della palestra Johnny Garcia. Un anno dopo, ha spostato la sua base di Brooklyn e ha iniziato i combattenti di formazione di un'altra icona della boxe, Palestra Gleason. In 2000, ha reinsediato a Miami.
Meglio conosciuto come campione del mondo dei pesi massimi leggeri l'allenatore capo della Glen Johnson, Cuellar ha lavorato anche con i futuri campioni quali Nicolas Walters, Rances Barthelemy e Erslandy Lara, così come Luis Franco, Aaron Davis e Juan Carlos Gomez, per citarne alcuni dei più notabili. Oggi, lui è il capo secondo per diversi combattenti top tra cui Antonio Tarver.
Riconosciuto in tutta la boxe come insegnante superiore, Il successo di Cuellar è in gran parte attribuita alla sua formazione di combattenti su base individuale, incentrate sulle loro esigenze personali piuttosto che dare tutti i combattenti le stesse istruzioni e l'attenzione.
“Ogni combattente ha bisogno di lavoro personale e specifico per completare i loro talenti ricevuti da Dio,” Cuellar ha spiegato. “Non si può insegnare tutti i combattenti allo stesso modo. Sono specializzato in quello che io chiamo vecchia scuola incontra nuova scuola. Vecchia scuola era in anticipo e personale di andare 15 round, nuova scuola è di gettare più pugni, più movimento del piede e la lotta dall'esterno. Insegno doffense: difesa + offesa. Punzoni non sono le vitamine, Nessuno dovrebbe essere presa. La boxe è poco più di una battaglia di riflessi; uno combattenti contro un altro, ma il vero trucco è come il combattente usa i suoi riflessi. Io insegno ai miei combattenti come trasformare ring in un campo minato.”
Boxe ha giocato un ruolo enorme nella vita di Cuellar. Back in the 5th St. Gym è solo un altro capitolo della sua vita unica.
“Vivo con i miei combattenti,” Cuellar ha concluso. “Ogni vittoria è il mio momento più orgoglioso. Non ci sono grandi o piccole vittorie, ogni vittoria è un momento a causa di tutto il duro lavoro e sacrifici me e la mia caccia fatto durante il training camp felice.”
Orlando Cuellar è entusiasta di essere andato ritorno al futuro.
