K okamžitému zveřejnění
Atlantic City, NJ (Březen 15, 2016)–Tuto sobotu noc na Claridge Hotel v Atlantic City, Welterweight založená na Long Islandu Tommy Rainone debutuje na promenádě, když bojuje Maurice Chalmers v osmikolovém souboji v doporučeném undercard souboji karty s 11 souboji propagované Rising Promotions a Vincent M.Ponte's Gulfstream Promotions.
V hlavní události, Thomas LAMANNA bere na Kendal Mena v osmikolovém záchvatu welterové váhy.
Rainone má záznam o 24-7-1 s pěti knockouty je již dlouho oblíbeným fanouškem ve státě Empire, a boj s Chalmersem naplní místo, které bylo na 36 seznam vědců letošního dítěte.
“Bojoval jsem v Madison Square Garden, Yankee Stadium, Legendární Blue Horizon a Las Vegas. Už dlouho jsem chtěl bojovat v Atlantic City a v sobotu se to konečně stalo,” řekl Rainone.
Co dělá Rainonovu kariéru ještě více fascinující, je to, že přes noc pracuje na plný úvazek a pracuje pro Hilton Hotels v účetním oddělení.
To dělá dlouhé dny, pracovat až do časného rána, jen pár hodin spánku a poté chodit do posilovny před jeho noční směnou.
“Neměl jsem den volna za sedm týdnů, ale budu připraven jít v sobotu noc. Měl jsem docela dobrý trénink a zápas. Teď si jen udržuji váhu “
V Chalmers, čelí veteránovi, který má záznam o 14-12-1 s osmi knockouts. Chalmers srazil tři neporažené bojovníky, ale Rainone je přesvědčen, že jeho dovednosti a příprava budou stačit, aby zvedl ruku.
“Jednou jsem ho viděl osobně. Porazil neporaženého chlapa a ten večer byl velmi agresivní. Viděl jsem jiné souboje, kde se posadil a je pultíkem. Připravuji se na všechno.”
Od té doby, co se stal profesionálem 2006, Rainone si okamžitě oblíbil fanoušky, a má pocit, že vděčí za velkou podporu mnoha příznivcům, kteří se jím uvízli po celou dobu své kariéry.
“Bez fanouškovské základny, nedostanete bitky. budu mít 100 nebo tak fanoušci dole v Atlantic City. Dlužím jim všechno.”
Rainone věří, že jeho popularita je z velké části způsobena tím, že je jen “obyčejný chlap” a jeho fanoušci se k němu mohou vztahovat.
“Vždy jsem vedl dobrý boj, ale jsem schopný. Po bojích, Setkávám se s každým. Jsem skromný a ukazuji fanouškům, jak si ho vážím.”
Ve svém posledním záchvatu, Rainone vzal jeden z vystupňovaných bojů, které ho mohly připravit na velkou příležitost, když se ujal bývalého juniorského šampiona střední váhy Ishe Smitha.
Rainone se v tom boji objevil krátce, ale Rainone se chtěl otestovat proti bývalému mistrovi světa.
“Ten boj byl vysoký rozkaz. Ishe je větší muž a bývalý mistr světa. Nejsem junior střední váhy. Snažil jsem se velmi tvrdě a věděl jsem, jestli jsem vyhrál, který bojoval, Byl bych zařazen do první desítky.”
Rainone plánuje bojovat jen dalších pár let a stále má cíle každého bojovníka, ale svou kariéru bere boj za bojem.
“Cílem je jeden boj po druhém. Jsem nadšený z boje v Atlantic City. Chci bojovat v Barclays Center a znovu v Madison Square Square Garden a také bojovat o titul zpět v Atlantic City.”
“Během své kariéry jsem to dělal těžce. Nevím, kdo to udělal tak, jak jsem to udělal já. Udělal jsem to sám bez jakéhokoli spojenectví nebo promotéra a jsem velmi hrdý na to, čeho jsem dosáhl, a mám ještě více práce.”
Vstupenky na 19. března boj karty jsou $50 GA, $75 Etapa (velmi málo zbývajících)& $125 VIP (VYPRODÁNO) (Budky 5 k dispozici za 500 $—VYPRODÁNO) a jsou k dispozici na RisingBoxingPromotions.com nebo 609-487-4444.

WBC FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION GARY RUSSELL JR. DEFENDS AGAINST IRELAND’S PATRICK HYLAND IN MAIN EVENT OF SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® DOUBLEHEADER ON SATURDAY, Dubna 16 FROM FOXWOODS RESORT CASINO IN MASHANTUCKET, CT
PAUL WILLIAMS RETURNS TO BOXING AS A TRAINER
FORMER WORLD CHAMPION TO TRAIN PROSPECT JUSTIN DELOACH
IN FOURTH FIGHT ADDED TO Pátek, BŘEZEN 25,
SHOBOX: NOVÁ GENERACE TELEVIZNÍ VYSÍLÁNÍ
“I’m scared all over again, like this is my first fight.” – Paul Williams
Super Welterweight DeLoach Takes on Undefeated Local Favorite Dillon Cook;
Promising Meets Aaron Herrera in Main Event;
Živě na SHOWTIME® Na 10:30 p.m. A/PT
NEW YORK (Březen 15, 2016) – Former two-time world champion Paul Williams, who’s pro career came to a sudden and tragic end when he was paralyzed from the waist down after a motorcycle accident in May 2012, is back in boxing as a trainer.
The popular Williams will work the corner of once-beaten Justin Deloach (13-1, 7 KO) when DeLoach faces undefeated super welterweight and local favorite Dillon Cook (16-0, 6 KO) in the opening eight-round bout of what is now a ShoBox: Nová generace quadrupleheader na Pátek, Březen 25, žítSHOWTIME (10:30 p.m. A/PT, zpoždění na západním pobřeží) od Buffalo Run Casino v Miami, Okla.
DeLoach is the first boxer to be trained by Williams, the former 154-pound southpaw who has been confined to a wheelchair since the accident.
“I guess I was being selfish at first,” Williams said. “I didn’t want to deal with the fight game. I wanted to be the one fighting. But that changed.”
Williams was reluctant to train fighters for a long time. ByloGeorge Peterson, who managed and trained Williams from the time the boxer was a skinny kid with little amateur experience until his career ended, that helped persuade “The Punisher” to return to the ring. Williams trains his pupil at a private gym in his hometown of Aiken, S.C.
“You know me, I really didn’t want to do this,’’ Williams said. “But finally after three or four years of George practically begging me to try and do it, this opportunity came along and I decided to give it a shot.
“Everything is about timing. I started thinking about it, George kept asking me and messing with me about it, one thing led to another, and I finally said I’d take a stab at it.
Williams, who is enjoying his new job description, admits there are some pre-fight jitters.
“I’m scared all over again, like this is my first fight. Nyní, I have to think about everything that Mr. Pete was thinking about when I was fighting. I have to try and teach Justin what I knew how to do.
“George and I accomplished a lot. He made me a world champion; before that, no one knew who he or I was. We were just a couple of guys from Aiken, S.C. We gave fans fights to remember.
“I was the fighter the press labeled as ‘Most feared in boxing.’ But that’s over for me now. I’m jumping into a whole new thing. It’s been an adjustment but I’m glad I’m doing it.’’
In his role as a trainer, Williams’ mindset has changed drastically from his fighting days. “Look, I always feel good,'' Řekl. “What’s happened has happened. Je to to, co to je. This is my first time stepping back into the world. I love box.
“What I don’t want to see is a fighter getting hurt. This is a hard sport. I know when I was in there I was always going for broke. But I want Justin, all fighters actually, to come out of the ring the same way they came in. Vyhrát nebo prohrát, I don’t want to see anybody get hurt.’’
On DeLoach, Williams řekl,, “He’s a good fighter and now he’s in the spotlight. I want to do my best in the training world to get him at his peak. I hope he does his best. I’d love to one-up George with Justin.’’
Becoming the best takes strenuous work on a daily basis, and Williams was no stranger to putting in the hours.
“I never took a shortcut,'' Řekl. “You take shortcuts, you know what’ll happen. I took the long road home when I was fighting and fans, bojovníci, everybody knew what to expect when I stepped in the ring.
“Justin isn’t like this, but one thing I know is that fighters think they’re slick. Dobře, you can’t pull anything over me. Byl jsem tam, seen it all.’’
A, jako vždy, he’ll have George Peterson by his side.
“I’m just helping Paul,’’ said Peterson, who will serve as Williams’ assistant trainer. “So far, he’s doing great.”
It will be the ShoBox a 2016 debuty — and toughest fight to date — for both DeLoach and Cook.
DeLoach was a top amateur, competing in the USA Boxing National Championships in 2012. He won a National Silver Golden Gloves title when he was 13.
The 22-year-old DeLoach, of Augusta, Ga., has won three in a row since suffering his lone loss to Cesar Villa Únor. 6, 2015. That was before he started training with Williams.
“This has been a total blessing, and I say that every day,” DeLoach said. “Thank God. He’s the one who brought the two of us together, that’s the main thing. Paul loves it, just to be back. I think he was scared at first, his reputation was at stake and so was mine.
“But he’s been so helpful – just in the mental side of things. I was already a good boxer but he’s taken me to another level mentally. He’s been pushing me, criticizing me, giving me instructions and picking my brain.”
DeLoach and Williams grew up just 30 minutes down the road from each other.
“Me and Paul, we’ve known each other our whole lives,’’ DeLoach said. “I’m from Augusta, Ga., and he was right across in Aiken. We knew each other when I was coming up as an amateur. He came to my last pro fight that was in San Antonio. When I saw him, I got so excited. We started to talk and I said something like, "Hej, Paul, wouldn’t it be cool if we got together?'
“Once I came home, we started working together and he’s been training me since. I think we’re going on about three months now. It’s an unbelievable feeling to be able to work with one of my favorite fighters.”
V jeho poslední výlet, DeLoach won a shutout four-round decision overSantos Benavides poslední Prosince. 12. Deloach, a pro since March 2013, fought six times that year and four times each in 2014 a 2015.
“I’m really looking forward to fighting for the first time for him,” DeLoach said. “I’ve gone crazy waiting for my break and an opportunity like this to fight on SHOWTIME. I know it’s not easy fighting in your opponent’s backyard, but with Paul, George Peterson and me and my skills, we are confident it will be a good fight.’’
Kuchař, 25, is from Seneca, Mo., which is located about 20 minutes from Buffalo Run Casino where he has fought six times. A top amateur, he won six Golden Gloves titles, a Junior Golden Gloves National title, a Heartland title and four regional Silver Gloves titles. He is popular at Buffalo Run and will be making his premium network television debut against easily his most dangerous assignment as a pro. Cook’s brother, Jesse, a welterweight with a record of 15-1-1, will box on the non-televised portion of the event.
Dillon Cook turned pro in August 2012, fought twice that year, seven times in 2013, four times in 2014 and three times last year. Five of his last seven took place at Buffalo Run, including two out of three in 2015. He’s coming off a lopsided eight-round decision overRahman Yusubov poslední Listopad. 14.
“I couldn’t be more excited about making my ShoBox debut, right at home, at the Buffalo Run Casino,” Cook said. “This is a huge opportunity for me, and I plan on putting on a spectacular showing, for all my fans there that night and everyone watching on TV.”
V ShoBox main event, unbeaten super lightweight knockout artist and emerging rising star, Regis "Rougarou" PROGRAMY (16-0, 13 KO), Houston by way of New Orleans, will meet experienced Aaron "Klenot" Herrera (29-4-1, 18 KO), of Valladolid, Mexiko, in a 10-round match.
Four undefeated fighters will clash in the two other eight-rounders on the telecast: Hard-bít Ivan "The Beast" Baranchyk (9-0, 8 KO), Brooklyn, New York, tváře Nicholas “King Beamen” Givhan(16-0-1, 10 KO), z Kalamazoo, Mich., in a super lightweight scrap and Ukrainian Ivan "Volk" Golub (10-0, 8 KO, 5-0 ve World Series of Boxing), Brooklyn, New York, splňuje Marlon Aguas (9-0, 6 KO), Quito, Ekvádor, v zápase welterweight.

MATT MITRIONE SI VYBÍRÁ BELLATOR MMA, PODPIS EXKLUZIVY, VÍCEBOJOVÁ SMLOUVA S PROPAGACÍ
SANTA MONICA (Březen 14, 2016) - Minulý týden, volný hráč špičkových smíšených bojových umění Matt Mitrione (9-5) se připojil k show Ariela Helwaniho „Hodina MMA“ a odhalil, že nabízel nabídky z několika propagačních akcí, včetně skvělé nabídky, kterou obdržel od Bellator MMA. Ve velmi vzácném pohybu, Helwani nechal Mitrione znovu se připojit k jeho populární talk show na druhý týden po sobě, aby oznámil, že papírování bylo dokončeno, dělá z Mitrione nejnovějšího člena těžké váhy Bellator MMA.
„V životě každého sportovce přijde chvíle, kde se scénáře mění a krajina eroduje z toho, kvůli čemu jste se do ní zpočátku zamilovali,“ řekl Mitrione. "Už to pro mě nastalo.". Po oboustranně výhodném období bezplatného zastoupení, Rozhodl jsem se přesunout svou kariéru do Bellatoru. Užil jsem si téměř každou sekundu své kariéry a na rozdíl od většiny těch, kteří změnili organizaci kvůli tomu, že jsem byl přerušen nebo už nebyl schopen vystupovat na nejvyšší sportovní úrovni, Přináším tělo a sadu dovedností, které se jen zlepšují, a nemohu se dočkat, až otestuji své schopnosti proti tomu nejlepšímu, co Bellator nabízí."
S láskou označovaný jako „Meathead,Mitrione je jedním z mála bojovníků, kteří začali svou profesionální kariéru v UFC, aniž by předtím závodili na regionálním okruhu.. Jeho 14 zápas s touto propagací začal v roce 2009, kde čelil impozantním protivníkům, jako byli např: Kimbo Slice, Gabriel Gonzaga, Ben Rothwell, Derrick Lewis, Brendan Schaub, Roy Nelson, Mimo jiné Shawn Jordan a Travis Brown.
Před soutěží v MMA, Mitrione získal stipendium na defenzivní boj za fotbalový tým Purdue Boilermakers, nedaleko místa, kde vyrůstal ve Springfieldu, Nemocný. Po vysoké škole, hrál v NFL za New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers a Minnesota Vikings do 2005.
Na závěr své profesionální fotbalové kariéry, Shotokan Karate Black Belt zaměřil veškerou jeho pozornost na sport MMA. Mitrione trávil čas tréninkem s vévodou Roufusem a vysoce respektovaným týmem Roufusport, než přistál ve slavném kempu Blackzilians v Boca Raton., FLA, kde dnes trénuje.
Mimořádně oblíbený a dobře mluvený Mitrione dovolil rozhodčím určit výsledek jeho souboje pouze dvakrát, proti Joey Beltran a Cheick Kongo, oba aktuálně bojují za Bellator MMA. Jeho zábavný bojový styl mu vynesl uznání “Představení noci” (dvakrát) a “Boj noci” pocty.
Před jeho posledním bojem s jeho bývalým povýšením, Mitrione byl nucen zúčastnit se mediální relace naboso, protože jeho boty nedodržovaly přísnou politiku firemních uniforem. V Bellatoru žádné takové problémy mít nebude, kde si může zajistit vlastní sponzory a udržet si nohy v teple obuví dle vlastního výběru.
Bellator v poslední době posiluje svou divizi těžké váhy, a Mitrione se stává druhým volným hráčem těžké váhy, kterého povýšení za tolik měsíců podepsalo, jako Sergei Kharitonov se do boje zapojil v únoru. Divize je v současné době mistrem o Vitaly Minakov, a zahrnuje další přední jména jako Slice, Bobby Lashley, Cheick Kongo, Vinicius „Sparťan,"Tony Johnson.", Justin Wren, Dan Charles a Augusto Sakai.

Na Březen 26, NABO Junior Welterweight Champion Maurice “Mighty Mo” Hooker (19-0-2, 14 KO) risks his unbeaten record against Wilfrido “La Roca” Buelvas (17-5, 11 KO) of Barranquilla, Colombia in a ten-round junior welterweight bout. Hooker, rated number seven by the WBO, is coming off of a career-best win on October 17, 2015 against his toughest opponent to date in Ghislain Maduma (17-2, 11 KO) v Madison Square Garden. Hooker successfully defended his NABO title with the 10-round decision win over Maduma on the undercard of Gennady Golovkin vs. David Lemieux in a fight that was featured on the event’s “freeview” in the United States and streamed online around the world. Buelvas, a former WBA Fedebol champion, has won two of his last three bouts by knockout and fought Humberto Soto for the WBC Silver International Super Lightweight title in 2014, going the 12-round distance before losing a decision to the former World Champion.
Born and raised in Oak Cliff, Texas, a rough suburb of Dallas, Hooker found a boxing home at Maple Avenue Boxing Gym by way of an outreach program for at-risk youths. His natural talent was soon noticed resulting in him competing as an amateur, during which time he participated in over 100 boje, compiling a record of 97 výhry a pouze 7 ztráty, s 67 victories coming by way of knockout. Hooker turned professional on April 29, 2011, taking on the vastly more experienced Tyrone Chatman (7-1, 5 KO) at the Orpheum Theater in St. Louis. After four rounds, the judges saw the fight 40-36, 37-39 a 38-38, making the fight a split draw. Undeterred, in his next fight on June 24, 2014, Hooker scored his first professional win, knocking out Wilbert Mitchell in the first round at the Dr. Pepper Arena in Frisco, Texas. Eleven wins (eight by knockout) later, he took on undefeated Abel Ramos (8-0, 4 KO) ledna 17, 2014 in a bout that was featured on ShoBox from the Cook Convention Center in Memphis. After eight close, hard-fought rounds, the judges saw the fight a draw. Hooker followed the draw with a six-round unanimous decision win over Adrian Rodriguez Garza (8-2, 6 KO) na Duben 26 at Fitzgerald’s Casino and Hotel in Tunica, Mississippi.

WMMAA President Vadim Finkelchtein Leading sport into future
Monte Carlo, Monaco (Březen 14, 2016)- Světová asociace smíšených bojových umění (WMMAA) Prezident Vadim Finkelchtein, who founded the sanctioning organization in 2012, continues to lead WMMAA and the sport into a very bright future.
In four short years, WMMAA has alreadydeveloped into the strongest sanctioning body in the MMA world, hosting some of the sport’s most prestigious championships, as well as creating a highly respected culture in throughout sports worldwide.
Finkelchtein answered some pertinent questions below about WMMAA, its past and future, in addition to addressing the growth of mixed martial arts:
Can you tell us about you and your experience in Martial Arts?
VF: “I practiced judo when I was a kid. Back then there was no MMA whatsoever.” How did you first enter the world of MMA?
VF: “V 1995, I was offered an opportunity to sponsor an MMA event. That’s when I learned about and fell in love with no holds barred, or free-fight, as it was called then. V 1997, I organized my own event in Russia. The rest is history.” When did you first hear of MMA and what was your first impression? Did What is your function and main activities within WMMAA? How would you assess WMMAA’s progress during its three year existence?
VF: “WMMAA is still in its infancy. Ano, we lack experience and financing, and MMA is a new kind of sport in many regions. But I have to say that we’re growing and the last World Championship in Czech Republic proved it. Over 40 national teams flew to Prague with over 200 sportovci. The level of competition evolved so much. The organizational level was also high and we are thankful to our Czech MMA Federation for its great work. This World Championship proved there is demand for MMA around the world.” What are the main goals of WMMAA and what are the main obstacles facing Were there any countries that stood out or surprised you?
VF: “China surprised me a lot. They joined WMMAA recently but since then they’ve shown solid results. Také, I enjoyed the performance of Latin American teams. It was their debut but one Colombian kid (Andrey Roa Ruiz Dumar) won a bronze medal and that was great. Opět, Russia won the majority of the medals due to amateur MMA there developing with extremely rapid strides ever since early 2012. Fedor Emelianenko is the main locomotive and driving force in Russia. The selection process there is just unbelievable. You can’t imagine how many steps one needs to make in order to become the champion of the Russian Federation. The City Championship, Oblast Championship, regional and national championship. Each of these events consists of at least three fights, which means that a Russian champion will probably have had at least won 15 fights under his belt by the time of the European or World Championships. Only truly the best get to the top. Imagine this: around 7,000 athletes participated in the aforementioned events in 2015.”
What are the 2016 mid-term goals for WMMAA? Can you describe what 2015 was like for WMMAA? What words of wisdom would you like to share with the members of WMMAA family?
VF: “I’d ask all WMMAA members to adhere to the agreements and decisions we reached collectively. It pertains to the set of rules, judging process, zařízení, unified rules, and youth sports development.”
WMMAA keeps expanding, nicméně, there are still multiple countries that are not yet WMMAA members. Why should any local Federation apply for WMMAA membership?
VF: “WMMAA is the strongest MMA organization there is. We plan to continuously hold regional and world championships and keep developing and evolving. Sportovci’ ethical upbringing is also our target. We believe this sport can give so much to the world in various ways and we put a lot of effort into its development. We’ll gladly accept strong and worthy partners into our ranks.”
