For Immediate Release
Atlantic MAGAALADA, NJ (May 3-, 2016)–On Friday habeen, May 27th, a big night of boxing will kick off a holiday weekend at The Claridge in Atlantic City as Rising Promotions will present a terrific card of boxing.
Haddii ay dhacdo in ugu weyn, It will be about New Jersey bragging rights as Isiah Seldon qaadan on doonaa Eddie Edmond in a bout scheduled for six-rounds.
In a lix-wareega co-feature, one of the most popular fighter’s from the shore area, Light culus Chuck Mussachio will be back in the ring after a 39-month lay off when he takes on Willis Lockett in a rematch of a bout that that ended in a draw on September 19, 2008.
Mussachio of Wildwood, New Jersey ayaa heysta rikoor ah 18-3-2 with five knockouts and will be looking to get back to winning ways that made him a contender.
He will be marking his ring return in a familiar town where he has performed 17 times.
“Wax kasta oo si fiican u socda. I am back in the swing of things and getting good sparring three days a week,” said Mussachio. “I started getting the itch again when I was helping Isiah Seldon ready for his fight in March. I am not worried about the layoff. I got that ring rust off in February. That wore off quickly and that motivated me to get back in the room quickly. I have been in the gym the whole time, sparring. I was in Bernard Hopkins last two camps, so I have been in good shape this whole time.
Lockett of Takoma Park, Maryland ayaa heysta rikoor ah 14-16-5 iyadoo shan group.
His record does not tell the story as Lockett has faced theWhose-Whoof fighters between Super Middleweight and Heavyweight.
Waxa uu leeyahay tayo ka badan guul Tyrone Tate (5-1), Calvin Riley (1-0), Willie Williams (6-1), tartame hore ee horyaalka adduunka Larry Marks, Joe McCreedy (10-2-1) & John Lennox (13-3). The winner of Lennox was part of Rising Promotions maiden card on December 5, 2015.
Lockett has faced eight undefeated fighters. Lockett will look to break a two-fight losing streak. In uu xumad la soo dhaafay, Lockett was disqualified against Jordan Shimmell (19-1) on February 27 ee Washington, DC.
When we fought before,” said Mussachio, “I won that fight. I can’t believe they ruled that a draw. Waxaan hayaa wax aan caddayn, because I took every round in that fight. Looking back, I couldn’t even tell you how he is. He never hit me. I am just going to do what I did last time, but this time, I have to do more.
Mussachio, who is a guidance counselor by day, isn’t just coming back for one fight. He wants to get back to the status that got him to a 17-1-2 record and came within seconds of becoming USBA Cruiserweight champion before getting stopped by Garrett Wilson in 2011.
The goal is to take this as far as I can. I have my rhythm back. This is not just one fight. I want to get a big opportunity. I already have the record for that.
I feel rejuvenated. I haven’t took a pounding and I still have good legs.
Mussachio would not have his comeback fight anywhere else and is impressed by the way Rising Boxing Promotions has handled business leading up to the fight.
I don’t like fighting anywhere else but Atlantic City. This is my 2nd home and it means a lot. After all this time, the interest is still there for me and my fans are coming out. It is like the old days. I want to thank everyone for their continued support of my career which is now going on 12 sano. Debbie and Thomas LaManna have been great with Rising Promotions. They are very professional and great to work with.
In an eight-round Cruiserweight bout, Nick Kisner (16-2-1, 6 KO ee) ee Baltimore, MD will take on Lamont Capers (5-8-2) of Hawley, PA.

In a 6-round Heavyweight bout, Fred Latham (9-0-1, 5 KO ee) Pittsburgh, PA dagaallami doono Jon Bolden (8-10-1, 6 KO ee) ee New York.

In afar roonaadaan wareega:
In a four round Welterweight bout, Adrian Wilson (0-2) of Atlantic City will take on pro debuting DaQuan Johnson of Pennsauken, New Jersey
Quian Davis (2-0-1, 1KO) of Mays Landing, NJ dagaalami doonaa Soloman Maye (1-6-1, 1 KO) ee New Haven, CT in a Heavyweight out.
Cadaa Anthony Burgin (9-1, 2 KO ee) ee Philadelphia dagaalami doonaa Curtis Morton (4-5-3) ee Harlem, NY.

Guivas Taking a Realistic Approach to Facing ‘Big BabyMiller in CBS-televised Showdown next Friday at Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino

Topeka, Kansas heavyweight NickTwo GunzGuivas is taking a realistic approach to facing one of the most dangerous up-and-coming heavyweights in the world next weekend.
Guivas (12-3-2, 9 KOs) will take on undefeated WBO #11, WBA #12 and IBF #15 Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller (16-0-1, 14 KOs) for the WBO NABO Heavyweight Championship on Friday, May 27, 2016, at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino ee Niagara Falls, New York.
The two power-punching heavies will meet in the main event of Greg Cohen Promotions’ (in association with Salita Promotions, Adam Wilcock’s FightCard Promotions and David Schuster’s Winner Take All Productions) next instalment ofChampionship Boxing on CBS Sports Network.
In the 10-round lightweight semi-final bout, red-hot Filipino prospect HarmonitoEl Huracan de Gensan” Dela Torre (17-0, 12 KOs) will make his debut on US soil against capable veteran Guillermo Sanchez (15-18-1, 6 KOs) ee Buffalo.
Qiimaha tikidhada “Championship Boxing on Network Sports CBS” bilaaban doono $35 and are available at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Xafiiska sanduuqa Casino,www.ticketmaster.com or you can charge by phone at 1-800-745-3000.
I’m coming there to win, hubaal,” ayaa sheegay in Guivas, “and I know I’m a lot smaller than him, but I think I can move around and stay away from his punches. He’s a very heavy hitter, so I’m going to move and box him and see what the outcome is. I’m going to give this guy everything I’ve got. And I know he’s coming to fight too, so at the end of the fight, may the best man get their hand raised.
Taking on the red-hot Miller is not a job many heavyweights are hoping to get at the moment, but Guivas says the time is right for a challenge of this magnitude.
I’m at the part of my career where I need to step up,” he explained. “When they offered me the fight, I was already somewhat in shape, so I said let’s get in better shape and see what we can do. I think at this time I’m ready for it.
Guivas says he respects Miller’s power, but might have some openings to get a few things done. “Muddo sanado ah, I’ve gotten smarter in the ring. I know the guy is a heavy puncher and had a really good amateur career. He’s got a good jab, but he doesn’t have super fast hands. I’ve also noticed he tends to wear down in the later rounds, so I have to take him deep and see if I can out-box him.
A service technician for Coca Cola during the day, Guivas stared boxing and had his first fight at age eight. He ultimately had around 200 amateur fights and was a two-time silver gloves medalist, won the regional Golden Gloves tournament twice and went to the PAL Nationals. He got the nicknameTwo Gunzfrom promoter Damon Reed.
“My horumariyaha, Damon, is my promoter and a fighter too. He gave me that name because of the size of my arms and because I hit him one time and he said he felt like he’d been shot with a gun.
Guivas says he’s working hard at the Danger Fire Gym in Topeka, before and after work every day, and doing things a bit different to prepare for Miller.
I get up early in the morning and get my run in and then in evenings after work I do my boxing and sparring. I end up doing four to five hours a day of training. Oo ii furan ma, but to do it like that. Sanadkii la soo dhaafay, I’ve had one or two sparring partners for a fight, and I would go five or six rounds with that guy. Wixii dagaalka this, we brought in five guys and I get a fresh one every round. And the guys I’m sparring with are guys that are at the next level or getting ready to become top fighters. I’m getting a fresh look from different guys every round.
A good counterpuncher and a decent boxer, Guivas says a victory jimcaha soo socda would change everything.
I think beating Miller would definitely put me to the next level. The guy is top 10. If I can get the win I’d be in the money next time. I don’t fight just for the money though. Waxaan jeclahay in ay la dagaallamaan. That’s what I do.
On dagaal habeenkii, albaabada furan 6 pm iyo ficil waxay ka bilaabantaa 7:00 pm. The Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino is located at 310 4th Street ee Niagara Falls, NY. Wixii macluumaad dheeraad ah, call 877-873-6322 ama booqo www.senecaniagaracasino.com.

Halkan waxa dagaalyahanada lahaa in la yidhaahdo Thursday:
ERISLANDY LARA
I plan on going in there and getting into my zone and making the adjustments that will allow me to be victorious.
One difference between this fight and our last fight is that I’m coming into this fight 100 percent healthy. I’m not making any excuses but I had a fractured knuckle going into our first fight. I still felt I was winning the fight. This time I’m not going to leave any doubt about who is the best.
I have no pressure on me. I feel calm. Part of that comes with experience but I also know that I’m going to go in there and execute my game plan like I always do.
I’m always stuck in controversial fights because of my fighting style.
I’m excited to be sharing the stage with the Charlo brothers. We have trained together, so being part of this with them is great.
Vanes’s a lot more passive than he was for the first fight. He was telling me I better be ready.
I’m going to do what I have to do. Put my game plan together, put my punches together, I’m going to do everything that I have to do to be victorious on Saturday habeen.
On how he’s improved from the first fight
The fundamentals are always there. Every fighter gets better with every fight. You get a little bit more experience and that’s the difference.
VANES MARTIROSYAN
I’ve had a tremendous camp. I have a great team. I’ve had incredible sparring partners and I can’t wait for the real thing on Saturday.
I’m in the best shape of my life and I’ve never been so ready. I don’t have to tell you what I’m going to do up here, because you’re going to see it on Saturday habeen. Actions speak louder than words. This is going to be the best Vanes you’ll ever see.
This time around I am definitely going to be more aggressive. I cannot wait for Saturday.
There is a different feeling for me in this fight than ever before. It’s for a world title, this is as big as it gets.
It is the ‘Dreamversus the ‘Nightmare,’ and you’ll definitely see the ‘Nightmareon Saturday habeen.
On what he saw in Lara’s eyes when they faced off
A fighter looking at another fighter. I see hunger in both eyes.
A lot of the first fight, I was kind of inexperienced but we’ve matured a lot throughout the years. Four years into this game, a lot of experience, a lot of knowledge in the game so there’s a lot I learned from the first fight.
The whole division is here, it’s awesome. They should do this more often and I’m happy that SHOWTIME put together such a great card.
Charlo JERMALL
Every fight on this card could have been the main event. To be on a card like this with all these great fighters is exciting.
Boxing has a lot of really big fights with the Charlos coming in the future. We’re going to take it one step at a time. This is a great fight that we have in front of us.
I’m very proud of my brother, to have accomplished what he has at 26-years-old, coming from where we came from.
“Kani waa dagaal weyn ii. This is more to me than winning a world title. I put my all into this. None of Trout’s experience matters. I’m a real lion and I’m going to show it.
Austin Trout is just a name to me. He beat Cotto, sidaas waxa? I have work to do. I’m focused on getting the job done.
“We (the brothers) both do different things, but we also have the same skills and the same power. No one in the division can match up to us.
We always thought that we would be winners and that we would be competing at the top level. Now it’s time to make history. We want to prove why we’re at the top.
Me and my brother have always wanted to be champions at the same time. There’s never been anything like this. This era, you will get a chance to enjoy us. We’ve worked very hard to get here and we’re going to reign on this level.
After this, I’m coming for the (160-pound fighters). To be a top pound-for-pound fighter you need to dominate different divisions and that is my goal. That doesn’t mean I’m struggling with weight. I feel good right now but I think I will be even stronger at 160.
May 21 there is nothing that is going to stop me from losing my belt.
AUSTIN TROUT
It’s no coincidence that I’m back at the top making a title run. I paid my dues and put in all the hard work necessary.
I have nothing bad to say about Jermall as a person or a fighter. But at the end of the day, the history will be my own. I’m going to use him for my legacy, not the other way around.
I worked hard to get here. I’m sharp and on weight. There is nothing that I feel like he can do to beat me that night.
Charlo took a chance with this fight. There is no mistake in taking a chance. But will the chance end up in his favor? I hardly doubt it. This won’t be easy. I’m never in easy fights. They’re always great fights.
Size won’t be a problem. He still has to make 154 pounds.
I want to thank Jermall for taking this fight. He’s doing something that a lot of people won’t do. But at the end of the day, I’m going to be the lion tamer. I’m going to tame that lion.
What flaws do you see?…
I don’t want to tell you about his flaws because he might fix them by Saturday, but we see a couple flaws.
On if it would hurt him to move up to 160
It may, it may not. We’re not looking at any extra edge or wishing to put all our eggs in one basket. What we’re banking on is our skillset and our grip to come out victorious. Whether it hurts him or not, it’s not going to matter. Only thing it’s going to do is make it easier for me.
“Waxaan halkaas, I’ve been to the deep waters. I’ve seen many different types of strategies and styles. In a sense, there’s nothing that he brings to the table that I haven’t seen before.
I’ve got a big dog in me that you’re going to see Saturday habeen. You’re going to see what should have been the main event. Me and Charlo, it’s going to be a great fight and I hope y’all tune in because I’m taking that belt.
JERMELL Charlo
I appreciate everyone involved in putting this fight together. To me this is a card that people need to be pay attention to. I believe that everyone on this card is going to give it their all, because we all motivated each other to be here.
I’m fighting John Jackson, the son of a legend. I don’t believe John Jackson will be able to live up to his dad and if his dad ever had to face me, I would have beat him too.
We’re getting more and more experience. People thought that Gabriel Rosado was too big of a test for me but I dominated that fight. I’m going to pass any test they put in front of me. Over the course of time, you’re eventually going to have to say we the experience.
I’m proud of what my brother has done. His success motivates me. He’s a world champion. These are the kind of things we look forward to.
This is our time. There is no more that we can say. There is a lot that’s coming ahead of us.
“Waxaan soo socda inuu ku guuleysto. I trained hard. It’s time for a world title for me. I have to fulfill my end of the bargain. John Jackson has been in wars, but so have I. This is our time, me and my brother’s.
Being on the same card as my brother is already a high standard so being on a card with the rest of the undercard guys, I’m honored and ready to show what I have to do. I’m ready to make history. I’m ready to win this belt and enjoy my vacation after.
I’m sticking with 154 hadda. I would love to go to 160 because it’s easier for me but because it’s easier that’s why I wouldn’t go up. Making 154 for him is easy as well, he just sees other options.
YOOXANAA Jackson
I’m extremely blessed to be here. I’m looking to make history. My dad was a champion and I’m going to do the same thing.
Jermell is just selling the fight. We don’t take anything he says personally. We’ll humble him and put him in his place.
This is a dream come true and the Jackson legacy will live on.
“Waxa ay noqon doontaa habeyn weyn. This could be the best fight of the card, easily. If you watch my career, every single fight I bring it. You’re going to see action and explosiveness.
On Jermell Charlo’s comments about his father
That’s disrespectful. My dad paid his dues and to talk about my dad like that is kind of disrespectful. It’s not getting to me. Fighters use that to try to get in your head but it’s fine, I’ll let him pay in the ring.
If Jermell’s ego is getting to him
“Haa, he needs to humble himself. That was a little out of line. But we’ll see what he looks like in the ring.
On what flaws he sees in his game
He has a lot of flaws. How he leans forward and waits a lot. But his style is perfect for my style. I always bring it and give 100 percent and we’re looking for a stoppage.
It’s going to be explosive don’t miss it. SHOWTIME, it’s going down.
